II - related Of some western piOneeress
who was watching contest between her
husband and a bear. that she remarked that
she had no interest in the result, and didn't
care much which whipped. The attitude Of
the government in the struggle between Col.
Scott and Mr.. Garrett over the tranSporta-
ton Of the through mails between here and
New York i somewhat similar TO that o: the
female in question. Col. Scott IS naturally
anxious 10 protect his own interests, and
should he do so IN This case, even TO the
detTiment Of hi rival. ne could not Justly b.
censured. rs we have before stated, the
mail service has heretofore been equally
divided between the two through lines. one
carrying the morning and the other the
evening mails In view Of the past history
OF the mail service ON both these lines. the
heSiisncy OF the Postmaster General To make
decision discriminating AGAINST one Of
them ard giving the entire service to the
other i no: TO b wondered at. IL is but
simple justice TO Mr.. Garrett TO say that il
i the concurrent testimony OF ali officers,
from the Postmaster General down. con-
nseted with or having knowledge
of the postal railway service, that he
has always performed ii promptly and
faithfully, and has on some occasions proba-
bly, gone beyond the requirements OF his con-
tract 10 carry out the suggestions of the Post
ONCE department. This obliging disposition
on the part of Mr.. Garrett is duly apprecia-
ted by the department, which has no fault to
end.
REe same may pe said of Colonel Scott,
whose performance of his portion of the SER
vice has always been entirely satisfactory.
II can further be said of him that he came to
the rescue OF the government last year about
this time, when President Hinckley, of the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
company, threatened 10 cut off the postal
cars on his road on the ground that he was
not sufficiently paid for the service. In this
dilemma Postmaster General Creswell ap-
pealed TO Col. Scott, who promptly replied
That lie would ran the postal cars over his
lines In Pennsylvania, in the swiftest trains
and On the governments own terms. Mr..
Hinekley thereupon withdrew his threat
and mail communication with New York re-
aimed uninterrupted.
l. action of Col. Scott to-day in stopping
MI G~-rett's postal car at West Philadel-
phia- and compelling a transfer OF mails,
SHOWS mat he means business, and that his
expressed purpose 10 do as he has done was
no idle threat.

Matam Lille, the elairvOyant, who
Claimed tohave spirits at her beck and call

not get one word from the spirit world or

II our sister city Of Baltimore cannot boast
OF being the soatOf government and possess

she can plume herself on a commercial pros

n statement of her trade and commerce for

were steamships, l. ships, % bark, p brigs.
and 81 SchOOnerS. 50 of them coming in ball

foreign Municipalities. The clearanCes for the
same period were 1l2. principally with car
goes OF corn, wheat and petroleum for Eu-
rope, and assorted cargOes for the West In

month was SZ.Z56.423. The receipts in coin
for duties on imports for the month were

1874. Some of this increase. however. is &C
counted for by the increased duties on sugars

IL was stated in the news columns of The
STAR, yesterday, that about fifty persons
would be discharged from the Pension
Office on the 5Oth instant, and that their
names would not be given to the public.
This is a proper conclusion To reach in the
case. These unfortunate employees are not
discharged "for cause" but their removal is
rendered imperative by the failure of the ne
cessary Congressional appropriation. The
modification which they must naturally fee
on receiving note of dismissal ought not to
be intensified by the publication of their mis-

THE PENALTY. OF CATCHING COLD.-
We venture to question the necessity of
the greater part of the illness that arises
from colds. Why should people have
colds at all1 Unlike many other diseases,
it isiwell- understood how they arise +;
Iall the conditions and causes that pro-
duce colds are continually pointed out by
physicians they are easily measured
and recognized, and can as easily be
guarded against. All that is required is
due foretholight and caution -ferethought
and caution that extend to the condition
of the atmosphere in the house, the kind
of heat used for warming the rooms, the
prevalence of draughts, the clothing
worn at home and abroad, the precau-
tions against sudden changes of weather,
the maintenance of warm and dry feet,
the protection ofthe lungs and other
delicate or susceptible parts of the body
all of which are controllable things with
every one possessing the ordinary facul-
ties, and endowed with the average share
of good senl,e. j
IF it were penal offense to take cold ;
if cough s:ising from thoughtless ex-
posure were punished by a weeks impris-
onment; if getting sick because of mere
incapacity to measure conditions and ar.
range precautions were always followed
by legal penalty and o loss of respect
abilityScatclling cold would soon be
among the "lost arts" There is no use
of having Judgment if we do not exer-
else it; no use of brains if we do not
employ forethough in so simple a thing
as this. In nine colds out of ten the vic
tim has been too stupid to take advan-
tage of former experience, too torpid to
understand the nature or necessity OF
preventive measures, and too dull to de-
tect the palpable circumstances out Of
which the cold has come., A child learns
not to fall down stairs after Two or three
experiences of the kind not to burn his
fingers in the CRATE after once-testing the
qualities of hot Goals and hot iron but
adults 60 on getting colds from causes
that repeat former blunders with a per
versity that is simply amazing. Apple
