A POsToFFICE STORY.-Mr. John Fl,
Halfett, n of the Oldest public servants
in the New York postoffice, remembers
thai in 1885 a young woman used to call
evely week for q letter addressed Miss
Mary H. Russell, P0stoffice." The g Q
ularity Of her visits, and her apparent
nnWillingness to give any account of
herself, elected much curiosity among
the clerks, but their inQuisitiveness was
newer gratified. Years passed away and
gray hairs appeared on the woman's
heai, but she made her calls as regular
ly as ever, and the expected letter was
always waiting for her. Nearly ten years
have elapsed since her last visit, but the
letters still come addressed to her name,
although the intervals between them
are longer than in the old time. These
letters have, of course, been opened, but
thet7 contain no clue to the idendity of
either the writer or the recipient. Each
CONTAINS a S. bill with a few lines of
wri$ing to say when the next remittance
woRld be made. No address, no date,
no signature. The handwriting is that
of :! maj apparently feeble with age,
antt another letter with the usual SUPER
scr(ptlOn is, at present writing, lying
unopened at the postoffice. Maria ri.
Russell, an elderly woman ten years ago,
is probably dead. The letters with their
co1tents are sent to Washington, but
no pne q guess who the ANONYMOUS
wrFer is who so faithfully maintained
his correspondence. Postofices are es-
sen5ially practical places, but little bits
OF romance may sometimes be found
even in their history.

Tobacco i'm the South.
From the Rural World.l

Il many portions of the South, before
theEwar, very much of the tobacco used
am@ng the farmers was grown upon
their farms and plantations. In Missis-
sipbi, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, the
CalDlinas and Louisiana, there was con-
siderable tobacco grown but few years
agos Now there is but little attention
paiG: to growing this very importantcrop.
The consumer confines himself to a bet
ter, .0r finer cultivated and manufactur-
ed article. The old "hOme twistn is
hardly to he seen where q few years ago
little other was to be had. The poorer
classes, with the cOlOred population,
since the settlement among them of the
NOl$hern element, have received very
luxurious notions in their drinking,
smoking and chewing habits. The finest
whi+key or brandy is sought after, while
"wEite wheat" and peach and molas-
ses are fast going ont of use. Fine
smoking brands of tobacco are in use,
as we'll as the most popular plug and
ducSrs are consumers of the very arti-
Gle shey could row more cheaply than
otllcr s. How much like nonsense it
looks for Connecticut, Iowa, Missouri,
Ohis, Indiana Kentucky and Tennessee
to rStise tobacco for the South and O
lar2e'expOrt trade.
Ttle idea that cotton had ceased to be
King in the South was a most absurd
ndspremature one. That more corn is
grOsn we do not deny but not to the
considerable extent we have been led to
believe, by the reports of those who
desired to make it a corn producing
couhtry.
Experiments have been made in more
tha& thirty counties in Texas the past
season in growing tobacco of the diff
fereFlt varieties, to test their adaptable
ity 20 that soil and climate. The great
er part of these tests have been made
in northern and central counties of the
State, where the MISSOURI and Ohio
population has settled. with a bro
traGted drouth and an early frost, still
the result to the planters has been the
mort satisfactory. Texas will become
OneEof excellent tobacco States.
