ceiyed large sums OF. money and has been
raised from poverty 70 comparative az

Why Letters Go Astray.

Mr.. Plimley kindly informed the writer
that there were, including the British,
German and Swiss departments, 5000
money order offices in the United States;
that letters should 90 astray he did not
think surprising, when it Is considered
that there are Is Buffalos, 12 Bostons, Is
Buena Vistas, 12 New Havens, 10 New
arks, IA Albanys, ~ Oranges, Is Highlands,
$ Hyde Parks, 15 Bradfords, 5 Cincinnatis
and 3 Chicagos, to say nothing of the al
most innumerable Johnstowns, Jamestowns
and Smithtowns. Then, too, there are
States that are thus abbreviated: Me-, Md,
Mo, Mon, Mass, Mich and Miss. Now,
said the Superintendent, letter posted
without bearing the name of the county
is not properly addressed, and to find one
properly addressed passing through the
mails would be Ike hunting for a needle in

he replied with indignation that foreign

thai the man could be such fool as to
think so. While the two men were argu-
Ing the matter large crowd gathered In
the narrow street, the man shouting at the
top of his voice that his son was in the
foreign chapel, and that they wanted the
boys heart and eyes for medicine. At the
same time the two men fought in the mar
row street In front Of the chapel and the
crowd began throwing stones Ut the doors
and windows, finally smashing in both,
and then poured into the chapel, where,
in very short time, stools, benches, pull.
pit, railing and chairs were reduced TO
tirewood; from thence into the school
rooms, one after the other, then into the
class room, making a clean sweep Of
desks, tables, stools, chairs, etc, finally
cleaning out the preachers room. and
taking bis bed, bedding, clothes, furniture,

p. m. A few DAYS sfterward several Of
the vagabonds were arrested and received
severe thrashing."

Large as these figures seem 1t must be
remembered that they represent but
small percentage of the destruction OF hu-
man fife from other than natural causes.
They are only the large disasters which
have been deemed of sufficient interest TO
telegraph as items OF public importance.
They do not include the thousands of
minor disasters constantly occurring all
over the world, which would swell the ag-
rregate far up into the hundreds of thou
sands, if not into the millions. Ii there
were added to these the immense number
taken off by suicide, murder, war and
massacre, and other violent forms OF death
which it is impossible 20 estimate, the
result would be frightful to contemplate.
Increasing this still further by the num-
Der who die from sickness, it does not seem
that there is any danger that the world
will be overcrowded with population

by the South. The people refused to be
deceived then. Let US be equally vigilant
now. National patriotism can never be
to fervent, or too suspicious Of those who
deprecate its free expression.
1t is now nearly twenty years since the
result of presidential election has been
peacefully acquiesced in by the defeated
party. The choice of Buchanan, in 1856,
was followed by no dangerous expressions
of the deep discomfort it created; but
! Lincoln's authority was resisted by eleven
/ States, from the day OF his Inauguration
until month after his second term began,
and when the rebellion was driven into
| the last ditch, he was assassinated by one
of its natural outgrowths, within week.
! That Grants authority has not yet been
| openly delied is true, but the embers OF
rebellion are carefully kept alive, and
peace has not been restored.
The rebels and malcontents now pro-
pose to drive enough Republicans away
from the polls at the South to give the
Democracy OF that section voice entirely
out of proportion TO their numerical
strength AN insolent and revolutionary
subversion of the right of the people to
the choice of President. Terrorism and
violence are to be substituted for the
peaceful decision of the majority. The
past ought to admonish the late rebels
and their abettors, to beware how they
thus challenge the manhood Of the North.
The knavery which, under the thin
guse of local interests, strives to wholly
divert public attention from the great
overshadowing question we have here
presented, is clearly in the interest Of
those who are preparing to strike blow
at the vitals Of the Nation. The enemies
Of the Nation cannot be friends Of the
State.

On THE WRONG LAY.-A certain Lin
coin county huckster who deals principal
ly in butter and poultry, invariably asks
little more'for these luxuries than any
of his neighbors. When asked his reason
for so doing be always replies:
"Wal, sir, that's an extra quality of
butter. 1t was made by my wife's aunt,
sir-one of the best housekeepcrs in the
State. These chickens are superior art
icle, sir, and what she don't know about
raising chickens amt worth knowing"
This popularity has been remarked by
his customers, and they are in the habit
of commenting on it quite freely behind
his. back. One day very solemn indi-
vidual entered his store, and walking up
TO basket Of eggs, inquired
"What do you ask for eggs?"
Fifteen cents Gozen," was the bland
reply.
Fifteen cents :" exclaimed the mel
ancholy customer. - can buy them a

During trip in the street cars to State

CoLD FEET.-At dinner party lately
tho cool weather had done considerable
duty in supplying the conversation, when
plump, happy looking married woman
made remark about cold feet. "Sure-
ly, Mrs. NJ" said lady opposite, "you
are not troubled with cold feet ?" Amid
an awful pause she naively answered =
+" Yes, indeed, ! am very much troubled
but then they are not my own" Her
husband bushed scarlet.
