The postmaster general has selected
the mail route along the shores OF tho
lakes for the fast mail train to the west.
1t is expected to begin to run by the first OF
October. 1t will make tho distance from New
York to Chicago in not more than twenty six
hours, and 1t is hoped to reduce tho time to
twonty-four hours, gain Of twelve hours over
tho present mail and express train. The
amount of small matter to be carried by this
train will be enormous. There will bo four
large postal cars of improved construction,
capable Of carrying thirty-five tons OF matter,
and it is thought by the department the
amount to be carried will reach iorty-five tons
before tho expiration Of six months. The
greater part Of tho works OF distribution will
bo dono on the cars. Newspapers will DO
taken in by tho bundle, and folded and dis
trlbuted Ell route, Relays of clerks will DO

The recent death of Lady Franklin
brings to mind the discovery by Capt.
McClintock of the fate OF Sir. John
Franklin. This is the Greary record :
"On tho 9th Of May Lieut.. Hobson
pitched his tent beside large cairn
upon Point Victory. Lying among some
loose stones, which had fallen from the
top Of this cairn, was found a small tin
case containing record, the substance
of which was as follows This cairn
was built by the Franklin expedition
upon the assumed site OF Sir James
Ross pillar, which had not been found.
The Erebus and Terror spent their first
winter at Beechy Island, after having
ascended Wellington Channel to latitude
N deg. north, and returned by the west
side of CORVALLIS Island. On the 10Th
of September, 1916, they were beset by
the ice. Sir John Franklin died on tho
llth of June, 1847. On the 23d of
April, 1913, the ships were abandoned
five leagues to the north-northwest of
Point Victory, and the servivors, 1O5
in number, landed here under the
command of Capt. Crozier.'" There
has been but little said of one
feature of the relics of the Franklin ex-
pedition. The discovery of huraan
bones in kettles did not permit observers
to avoid the conclusion that the starving
men had cooked and eaten deceased

The FATE OF THE TRADE DoLLAR.-
! 1t was stroke of policy on the part of
our government to devise in the trade
dollar n coin which should compete
with the Mexican dollar and eventually
drive it almost out OF the Chinese mar
ket. After reaching that country it en-
counters an almost ignominieus fate.
The Chinese send it to India for the
purchase of opium. They go into The
Calcutta mint and come out as rupees,
which are stamped with the native char.
acters on one side and the value
of the piece on the other. The trade
of China with India in opium exceeds
that of all other commodities, as is
shown by the reports of the Chinese
custom service. The amount returned
for the last eight years, exclusive of the
amount smuggled, which would prob.
ably double it, is 97,440,930 pounds.
The amount of American silver which
annually goes to India from China to
pay for opium is immense. A base use
for so beautiful :coin as the trade
dollar, surely.-,San Francisco call.

The WORLD IS MovGNG.-Gambetta
and Rouher are universally acknowl
edged in France to be the two chief
antagonists for power. Tho first is the
head of the republican, and the second
of the imperial party. Buffet and Mac
Mahon are the men of straw, politically
speaking, whose short hour of rule is
destined to fade as leaf. In all Euro
pean countries, as in the United States,
there are but two real, live parties. In
England, republicanism is contending
with feudal aristocracy, and in France
against autocratic tyranny, represented
by the Napoleonic empire. In Ger
many and ITALY, mainly preoccupied
with their newly acquired national iu-
dependence, there exist in an active
state only the party of unionists aud
the abettors of the old territorial divi-
sions, headed by the disposst ssed
princes and Rome; in Austria
and Russia, it is the party Of
progress against tn, party Of old ideas.
And so ON with the minor and insignifi-
cant continental countries. The world
is moving, and straw men are becoming
of less account.

The difficulty of recovering AM thing
from Boss Tweed and his associates may
be seen from the fact that, of the 151
vouchers on which warrants were issued,
14l of them have been stolen, and the
plaintiff is required to produce the

specify which portion of them is fraud
ulent. AS tue bills cannot be repro
