WE are now experiencing the pleasures
of that peculiar weather which we call
Indian Summer. Ii is a short period Of
bainy air sandwiched between the first
frosts of the fall and the sharp blasts of
coming winter. Barring the mists which
have made the atmosphere heavy for the
past few days and the rains that have
fallen so easily, our Indian summer has
now well maintained its ancient repula-
ton.
There is a singularity in the atmosphere
at this season. The sky is blue, the air IN
general is clear, but there fingers about
the horizon a sort OF haze which affords
material for the Imagination of poets to
work upon in their efforts 10 peer beyond
the limits OF things.
The Indian summer is a" delightful time.
in the country. and fortunately ii is a
healthful one, both there and in town.
The early frosts have checked malaria, and
open-air exercise is inviting. October and
June are The Tvs healIhiest months in the
year. Then it is that our death rate is
lowest.
Let every one enjoy this brief period Of
pleasant weather. feeling thankful that il
Is a time of health as well as OF lovely
skies and agreeable atmosphere.

The Posi- OFFICE DIFFICULTIES. Yes
terday it was lumored that the Post

States Marshal. OF course this created
a sensation. 1t was subsequently stated
that Edgar Pierce. young man CT
twenty or thereabout (who was reared
in CARSON, who had for several months
been q clerk in the Post Office, had been
arrested upon a charge of filching money
from letters. 1, was also currently
stated that marked money-bills put in
envelopes on purpose to decoy and de-
tect him-had been found III his posses
sion, and that he had owned up to the
charge Of theft. We met Edgar about
o'clock yesterday evening, and in re-

We hope they will not prove it. Wehope
that the thousand and one stories about

the hoodlumliks free and easy-nsss of
the manner Of conducting the Post
Office. Sober-sided business men trown
on the too frequent assemblages Of

may be quite successful in clearing his
skirts; but we trust that the Post Office
may he less popular trystipg place for
