mastcr-Gcneral, is the extraordinary increase
of Al per cent in single year in the mum
Der of newspapers sent through the mails; and
the increase seems to be still going on at a
very rapid rate.
The cost of the service for the year 1874
was 500, 100 pen (the gen being equivalent to
our dollar, and the revenue was 352,244 gen.
being considerably in excess of the esti-
mates. The outlay and the income both
have increased steadily for tho past
four years, but the deficiency for the
current twelve months is expected to
be much less than for the last. In 1876, how
ever, it will probably be very heavy, as the
routes to be established will extend through
the rcmotest and most uncvilized portions oil
the empire. The continually increasing actiy-
ity of the newspaper aud book press also lays
an increasing burden upon the postal service,
since the rates of postage on printed matter
are far from paying the cost OF transportation
The Postmaster-G General moreover gives warn
ing that before long the postmasters will want
more pay. "For the present they are salts
"fed with the small payments made
them because they are proud OF being
"cmployed in the service of the Govern
"ment, and understanding the true object OF the
establishment of the postal system they deem
ait honorable to voluntarily perform such
"duties as tend to benefit and promote the wei
"fare of the public. 1t is to be expected, how
"ever that the spirit OF our people will change
"and they will become mercenary." Is the
Hon. II. Mayesima gentle satirist OF ciyiliza-
ton
Indeed these pagaHs have great many
things to learn. Thcfts from the Post-Oflice
during the year amounted to 1862 of Govern
ment money, and $40 worth of stamps, and
the mails were pillaged of S1,OS5
The robbers of ell except S2S OF
these various amounts gave themselves up
and confessed, and the money seems
to have been recovered. This method OF
treating mail depredators is not in accordance
with the customs of more civilized countries.
A surprising lack OF Saroi tare is Indicated
by the further statement that all but three OF
the 50 persons who have stolen letters and
"otherwise infrinGed the postal laws and reg
"ulations, or neglected their duties," have been
properly dealt with, 80 being punished, one
imprisoned and II awaiting trial, while one
has escaped and the other two are dead. But
no doubt, as the Postmaster-General suggests,
the people will become more mercenary after
a while

REPORT Of THE POSTh1STER-GENE
Not tho Little Bob-Tail Clam Yankee, but
the Hon. II. Mayesima, who superintends the
transportation and distribution of the mails in
the Empire of Japan. 1t is a brief and business
like document dated at Toxic on the 30th day
of the 9th month of the 9Th year of Meij.
June 3Oth, 1875, and well printed in excel
lent English. in a neat pamphlet of ten pages.
The postal system in Japan is one OF the very
freshest of novelties, yet already, during the
year 1874, there were $4,000 miles of mail
routes in operation within the Empire, being
an increase OF nearly S0 per cent over tho
previous year; there were 1924 post-oifices
and there were 47G street letter-boxes. The
number OF letters transmitted was over
1900, 900, and the number of newspapers
100000. "A fact which speaks volumes for

The friendship between Germany and Italy
appears to be as hearty and sincere as when it
led to the victory at Sadowa and the freedom
of Venice. This is largely due to the good
sense of the Emperor William and King Victor
Emanuel, both of whom are described graph
cally by Mr.. Trollope in his letter, printed
elsewhere. Unlike as are these monarchs IN
many personal qualities, they have mutual
sympatbies as the rulers of nations which have
attained unity after years of expectant labor.

Just praise has already been awarded to the
Police Department for the work done i'll cap
turing the murderers in the Noe and Weis-
berg cases, and obtaining the evidence that
secured conviction. The details in the latter
case, elsewhere given, show in palmer light
the sL1llful management that was brought to
bear with such effect BY tho recent prompt
convictions of murdercrs, there can be no
doubt that a check has been put on similar
undertakings among the criminal classes, and
that such quick work of police and courts was
needed to curb tendency toward crimes Of
violence during the coming Winter. But a
more immediate result has been secured in
the Weisberg case, as it appears that the ar
rest was just in time to prevent another muir

Gen. Walker, Superintendent of the Census,
urges reasons for an appropriation to secure
National census in time for the Centennial
Exhibition One of the facts which he men
tons will not encourage the friends of the
measure. The State censuses, though fow, are
sufficient to indicate that there has been
marked falling off in the rate of increase OF
our population. This might be naturally
supposed, since the immigrants arriving
have been much fewer and the cmgrants
leaving more numerous since the general de-
preston of business interests. But this is not
one of tho statistical items that the average
American will want to display at Philadelphia

Despite the strenuous efforts made to keep
the Eastern question in allegiance it has sud
denly become embarrassing TO all the powers
Immediately concerned. Cabinet councils are
being held almost daily in London,
and according to our Berlin letter
great anxiety exists at that capital and in
Vienna for the peace of Europe. This state OF
suspense arises from the significant declaration
made recently by Russia, but it is rendered
more aggravating by the victory lately
achieved by the Bosnian insurgents, which
renders peace apparently more distant than
ever.
