RADICAL ECONOMY,

The Postmaster General is about to
send deputation of special agents tc
each OF the principal postoffices in
the United States, for the purpose OF
ascertaining what number of employees
can be discharged without impairinp
the efficiency Of the service. 1t seems
that the expenditures of the Depart
ment exceed the appropriations, aud
that unless there is a reduction madt
in the clerical force at the more i'm.
portant offices there will be deficit OF
$9O, 900. The work of re-orgadization
will begin Immediately.
III these officers can be DISPENSED
with now they could have been dis
pensed with before the November elec.
zion! Indeed, they should never have
been created. But the loss of public
revenue and of popular reputation
have taught these government officials
some lessons of economy and honesty
which they seemed careless of learn
ing before. Their learning, however
begins only with the dccapitation O.
the smaller officers-poor men ant
women clerks-instead of the larg,
and sleek epictrres. President Gran
gets $@5, ,oOO more pay per year thar
any other President ever received an,
all the heads of the departments mucl
more than better men received in bet
ter days. And then look hoy
many millions on millions of the publi
money have been corruptly stolen an,
squandered, year after year, by Con
gress and rotten officials in all section
OF the country! The people will col
rect all these. in 1876 by expelling tn
present party in disgrace from tn
places and power they have so shame
fully abused for the last fourteen

lowing account ef e, medical monkey,

ent O. . j ondon Journal;
lie one day saw q monkey holding
a snake by the throat and rubbing it..
head in the dirt; but az the ground
was moist aud damp the snake was
not readily hilled by this mode Of
punishment. Every now and then
the monkey would look most know
ing y lE the face OF the reptile to see
if it was dead; and in the course Of
one Of these Investigations the mon
key received a severe bite This an.
gerel him, and he speedily dispatched
the snake, but is coifs had hardly re
Iaxed before the monkey reeled and
fell PROSTATE, aad apparently in all
tia agonies Of death by poison, BY
this time an aged locking monkey ar
rived on the scene, ard after eSamin-
ing the bodies of the snake and its
victim, he immediately started for
some bushes, where he collected some
leaves Of the plant known as the red
chercLita. These lie rapidly and skill
fully fashioned into g sort Of pill,
which he administered to his snake
bitten companion, who speedily re-
viyed and walked off with his physi-
clan, The story is declared to come
from trustworthy sources.

A KEoKUK lady while engaged in
the pursuit of her domestic duties, en-
count tered a mouse in four barrel.
Now, most ladies, under similar cir
cumstances would have uttered few
feminine shreks and then sought safe
tv IN tie carret But this one pos
acszQi more .hsr the ordinary degree
OF feminine courage. She summoned
the hired man, and told him to get
the shotgun, call the bulldog, and
station himself at convenient dis
tance. Then she climbed up stairs
commenced to punch the -four barrel
vigorously with pole. Presently the
racuse made its appearance and start
ed across the floor, The dog at once
went in pursuit. The man fred and
the dog dropped dead. The lady faint
ed and fell down stairs, and the hired
man, thinking size was killed, and
fearing that he would be arrested for
MURDER disappeared, and has not been
seen since. The mouse escaped.
