The Postal Service.

The postmaster general fears that Q number of the contracts to carry the mails lately awarded have fallen into the hands of bidders. The prac- tice of such bidders has been to com mence the work in order to insure the return of the certified checks required to be filed with their bids, and then de- cline to go on with the contract, thus forcing the department to make con- tracts for temporary service for periods not exceeding six months. Such failures have resulted heretofore in putting the service into the hands of the old con- tractors, who are ready to perform the service, and at such prices as they may dictate. The postmaster general an- nounces that in every case of failure on an important route, he will give notice through the press, and withhold con tracts for temporary service until others besides the old contractors shall have an opportunity to offer for the service. MT. Jewell is determined to make an earnest effort to break down the system of straw bidding, and the consequent perpetua- tion of contracts in the same hands. In Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas many of the routes are long and profitable, and in those failures are feared in the awards made.

Loss of Life by Drowning. B.

The Austrian correspondent of the London Tunes telegraphs to that jour nal: A dreadful accident has occurred at Judenberg, in the valley of the Mur, in Styria. The month of May is the month of pilgrimages. All over the country processions are got up to one or another of the shrines which may be seen in every direction. This year, moreover, 8 centenary jubilee of the Catholic church was held at Whitsun- tide. Among the processiOns got up was one headed by the clergy of St. Stephen, in styria, to the Church of Strassengel, on the other side of the River Mur. From four hundred to five hundred people, the majority women, had joined it. Instead of choosing for the passage of the river the bridge of Gratwein, the ferry at Judenburg was chosen, in spite of the high flood conse- quent upon the melting of the snow. The first two trips across were success fully accomplished. The third time people rushed to the ferryboat, in spite of the warnings and entreaties ot the boatmen. It became thus so overcrowd- ed that it began to sink as soon as it was started, and the passengers-over one hundred-were in a moment up to their knees in the water. The boatmen lost all control, and the current forcing the laden boat with it the rope broke. The boat capsized and was carried soon to a lower bridge, where it stuck, so that a number of persons could be saved. Fifty-pine dead bodies were recovered, but there are in all seventy-six persons missing. A large grave was dug at St. Stephens s, where all those drowned were inferred

GrasshOppers as Food.

The Wanensburg (Mo.) NeaOs editor heard that some gentlemen of that town were determined to test the cooked locust question in regard to it's adapta- bility as food for the human stomach, and being always in haste to indulge in free feeding, made bold to intrude him. self on our scientific friends. He states :: We found 8 bounteous table spread, surrounded by gentlemen, accompanied by their wives. Without much waste of ceremony there were five persons seated, and we were helped to soup which plain ly showed it's locust origin, and tasted like chicken soup-and it was good ]; after seasoning was added, we could dis tnguish a delicate mushroom flavor cakes, through which locusts were well mixed. The soup had banished} silly prejudice and sharpened our appetite for this next, lesson, and batter-cakes quickly disappeared also. Baked locusts were then tried (plain hoppers, without grease or condiment), and either with or without accompaniments. It was pro- nounced an excellent dish. The meal was closed with desert c la John the Baptist baked locust and honey-and, II we know anything, we can testify that the distinguished Scripture character must have thrived on his rude diet in the wilderness of Judea. We believe this is the first attempt at putting this insect to it's best use, and the result is not only highly satisfactory to those brave enough to make the attenpt, but should this insect make his visit oftener and cause zgreater destruction, future generations will hail it's presence with joy: It will be jubilee year-like mama in the wilderness, or quails in the des- ert-food without money and without price. Now, dear reader, you may shrug your shoulders and smile, but 'henceforth we shall esteem grasshoppers as @ luxury to be classed with oysters,
 trufhes, mushrooms, etc. As soon as arrangements can be made, an assort- ment of locusts will be sent to. St. Louis for trial by the scientific researchers oi that city, {, s1& lt SB ss- &42 AZ

Fashions for Gentlemen.

Gentlemen's s fashions for summer show several notifications of those in vogue in spring.
 Pants continue to be worn very loose and coats display little novelty. Sack coats are worn indiscriminately, and three button walking coats lead the style for outdoor purposes. Shoes are worn low and are very neat, and ad- mirably adopted for summer wear either at the seaside or in the city.
 The latest style of scarf looks like a breastwork of plaid silk or poplin, in the patterns now prevalent among ladies for dresses. Grenadines and "Wind- sor " ties are still worn, and will in all probability retain certain amount of favor from their being easily adjustable, light and comfortable. Another point in their favor is their easy appearance and entire freedom from stiffness. White satin and silk ties are also in style, and may be alternated with those of white lawn, with lowered satin tips.
 The favorite collar is @ stand up, the sides of which approach much nearer at the throat than in other similar kinds re- gently worn, and has the points slightly turned back.
 Oolored shirts are received with marked favor, and come in checks and plaids, the striped patterns being es- pecially suited for travelling, but are also used for ordinary business wear. White linen dress shirts are made very plain, and the more recherche kinds have thread buttons in place of pearl or studs. | No other ornamentation is allowable by the latest mode. ..-
 The best stockings, in silk, and isle thread, show clocking running well up the leg. Colors are largely used, and the preference is given to rich flesh color. A very good and much less ex- pensive article of sea island cotton is i'm ported.
 Among hats the light felt Derby is very popular for general use. High white hats make 8 nearer approach to a lavender shade than those of last season. In shape they resemble the black silk hats of spring, but display slight ten dency towards the bell crown, and in that respect differ from the exact per pendicularity of the former. The brims vary in width, and the narrowest have a somewhat heavy roll. Straws of the new styles have round crowns and brims nearly allied to that of the English walk ing hat or Derby. They appear in diff ferent colors, of which the chief, be- sides the white, are black, brown and a | drab

A COuntrY,s Greatest Evil.

In the National Temperance Conven- tion at Chicago, Hon. Henry Wilson, Vice-President of the United States, was called out. He said:
 Forty years of experience and obser- vation have taught me that the greatest evil of our country is the evil of intem- perance. Every days experience, every hour of reflection, teaches me that it is the duty of patriotism, the duty of hu- manity, the duty of Christianity, to live Christian lives, and to exert temperance influence among the people. There was time, when Twas younger than am now, when I hoped to live long enough to see the cause which my heart loves and my judgment approves stronger than 1t IS to-day. l may be mistaken, gentle men, but it seems to me that the present is rather dark and troubled night for the cause, and it is because 1t so seems to me that believe it to be the duty of every honest, conscientious, self-sacriic- ing man of our country to speak and to work for the cause in. every legitimate and proper way and my reliance for the advancement of the cause of temperance is the same reliance which l have fer the spread of the Gospel of our Divine Lord and Master. The heart, the con science, and the reason must be appealed to continually /; and Christian men and women must remember that the heart ot Christianity is temperance, If it costs a sacrifice, give it. What is sacrifice to doing good and lifting toward heaven our fellow men2 We have got to rely on appeals and addresses made to the hearts of this nation, to the conscience of the people and the reason of the coun- try. We have got to, train up our chil- dren in the cause from infancy. We must teach it in the schools and every where by word, and above all by ex- ample; and it seems to me that Christian ministers, in this dark hour of our coun- try, when they see so much intemper- ance, and what looks to some of us like reaction, should make the voice of the pulpits of this land heard. Members of Christian churches should remember that they have something to, do in this cause. If anything stands in the way of Christianity, it is the drunkenness in our land. A word for temperance at this time is the strongest blow against the kingdom of Satan and for the cause of our Lord and Master. Suppose you have been disappointed. Suppose that many of your views have failed. We know that we are right. We personally feel and see it. The evidence is around and about us that we cannot be mistaken in living total abstinence lives and rec ommending suchIa course to our neigh bors. When it costs something to stand by the temperance cause, then is the hour to stand by it. If I could be heard to-day by the people of the land, by the patriotic young men of this country, full of life, vigor, and hope, I would say that it is among the first, the highest and grandest duties which the country, God, and the love of humanity. impose to work for the cause of total abstinence.

New York Press Association.

The annual meeting of the New York Press Association was held at Elmira, and the attendance was large. A delega- tion of Alabama and other Southern editors was present, and took part in the festivities of the occasion. For the Hast four years it has been the practice of these Southern editors to meet their Northern friends either at the South ol North, and to fraternize with them, and an earnest feeling of friendship has grown up between the two. The annual address before the New York association this year was delivered by MT. s. O. Cleveland, of the Penn Yan Chronicle and the poem by MT. J. H. Harry, ot Elmira. The party visited Watkins Glen, Seneca lake and their surround ings. The association was formed il Elmira just twenty-one years ago, and went home to celebrate its majority.

How many manly form is palsied how many a noble mind is destroyed how many priceless soul lost through the curse of strong drink To the de- spairing victims of the satanic tyrant, alcohol, whose shattered nerves, and trembling limbs, and racking headaches, seem to find no relief except in the re- newed use of the fatal poison which brings them every day nearer to their miserable end, we announce glad tidings of great joyl Dr. Walkers Vinegar Bitters contain not Q single drop of alco- hol in any form, but are sovereign remedy for the ills of drunkenness.

Capturing a Train.

The story of the capture of a wagon train on it's way to the Black Hills by the United States troops is thus told: Cap tain Fergus Walker, of the First regi- ment of infantry, stationed at Fort Randall, Dakota, acting under general orders of General Sheridan, was sent out on the frontier to arrest all parties destined for the Black Hills found travel ing on Indian reservations. He found 8 train of forty seven wagons and one hundred and fifty men, which he ordered to turn back. Thirty eight did so, and the balance, one hundred and twelve men, decided to go into camp at Gordon City and await the opening of the Black Hills by the government. Captain Walker followed the party while they encamped and then sent for reinforce ments, which arrived, when he ordered the miners into line. Then ho drew the wagons together and fred them, to- gether with all camp equipage, the miners standing in line and witnessing the confagration. After the destruction Randall. The miners, many of whom were barefooted, were obliged to march thirty five miles day, and suffered severely. Many of the men had their feet so severely cut by the sharp prairie grass and sharp stones on the road that tracks of blood from their feet could be traced along the road they travelled. On the second night out, two brothers, named Collins,g made their escape from Walkers command on ponies, arriving at Creighton, Nebraska. The citizens tele- graphed the facts to Secretary Belknap, and reply has been received saying that he will order an investigation.

His Way,

John Quincy Adams was counted a cold man, because he was dignifed, thoughtful, scholarly. But he had the warrnest heart and the deepest sympa- thies for those who knew him outside of his official position, though cynical air and expression toward those with whom policy or official courtesy had brought him into momentary contact. It is re- lated of him that, when candidate for the Presidency, he was persuaded, much against his will, tovisit the county cattle show. Among the plain and hearty farmers who crowded around him was one impulsive old farmer, who, shaking him by the hand, exclaimed, D tsMr. Adams, I'm very glad to see. you, My wife, when she was gal, used to live in your fathers family. You were: then a little boy, and she has often combed your head" "Well, F said Mr.. Adams, harsh ly, "I suppose she combs yours nov" ," This extinguished the old fellow, and undoubtedly lost MT. Adams at least one vote.
