OF RELATIVE INTELLIGENCE.

OF RELATIVE INTELLIGENCE.
II 10 q fact that will not be disputed
that in communities where the most
reading isione. the people ar, the most
intelligent. Th- recent Introduction Of
the fast mail service has furnished soma
interesting facts relating to ,ais subject.
The mails from the Eas, and southeast
into Chicago weigh iaily an average OF
2.202 pounds. Th, mails from the
Northeast. East snd South. going to
St. Louis. show q daily average Of TO-.
2o3 pounds. The mails FROM St. Louis
to Chicago average daily l.eis pounds,
This includes only ST. Louis proper and
Arkansas mails. The mails from Chi
caSo to ST. Louis average daily Ass
pounds. TLis includes the mails from
north Of Chicago and from Michigan.
The mails going into Missouri for the
country west and southwest. including
that State. average 10, 7l5 pounds daily.
Ibis includes the mails from all dirso-
uons, North. South and East. The
mails from Cleveland. for the West and
South. show . daily average Of 3.lO0
pounds. These statistics, which were
collected for the New York Tribgas BY
its Washington correspondent. further
show that the amount OF mail matter
distributed 10 the sections Immediately
tributary to Chicago is servn times as
large as the amount received at and dis
tributed from st. Louis. The $4,000
pounds received daily at Chicago from
tho East and Southeast, represent less
than ons-half tho amount actually re-
ceived. for the that mono Of the
mails. which enter Chicago FROM the

on the other hand the 5000 pounds re-
csived At st. Louis daily. represent the
entire amount OF mails received from all

the fact made known BY the recent dis.
patches from Spain. and vague hints
given out In diplomatic circles that
negotiations are now in progress between
Minister Cushing and the Government
at Madrid In relation to the treaty Of
1795. have been the occasion OF many
wild rumors touching the mutual re-

rumors have been seized and exaggsr-
ated BY members OF the Cuban bond

Sad Autumn comes again,
With whisperings OF the winters storm
Mid sheaves of golden grain.

Friend, turn my thoughts to thee
Now passed from earth; at home for aye
Beyond the crystal sea.
The years, since Their, are folded back;
Again thy grasp know,
And hear thy hearty, friendly tones
In cheering accents flow;
And to my soul there comes that Joy
Thy presence ever made;
That trust ting earnest, hopeful tone,
Which not zen death can fade.
Or we together sit, where falls
The evening restful light.
Recounting how the past had Sped
Our future picturing bright:
Long years to come; heart spoke to heart;
This hour you seem, as then,
The bravest, truest, loyal one,
Among the sons of men'
And sadly present seems the time,
When was called to stand
Beside thy pulseless heart and clasp
Thy unresponsive hand;
And learn, tho men repress their tears
The bosom It'll may know
The bitterest waves which sorrows tide
Can ever cause to flow.
Dear friend, adieu Thy tents are struck,
Thy life's march long since past,
The light tattoo, or call to arms,
The thrilling buge blast,
No more will on thy listless ear,
With stirring meaning all,
Till the great angels trump shall sound
Reveile for us all. j. Z. +.
