A ROMANTIC SToRY.-A story that
reads like a medieval romance comes from
New York. In refttiug the old postoffice
| buildings the carpenters have discovered
that the upper floors are double, and are
arranged so that detectives can watch the
operations Of those in the different rooms,
who suppose themselves to be alone. The
whole building was furnished with secret
passages, sliding panels, hidden trap
doors, and mysterious chambers, of whose
existence the post officials had no lnowl-
edge, with the exception Of the post mas
ter and assistant. When the workmen
had removed the flooring 1t was ascer-
tanned that the concealed space was from
four to four and one halffeet deep, afford
ing ample room for men to move about.
Passages led entirely around the building.
| At very short intervals were found small
circular holes in which were inverted lens.

before the eye of the observer the utmost
recesses of the postodice. If detective
saw any stealing or any improper action
committed by clerk or by person not
employed in the Office, the speaking tube
| by his side conveyed warning at once to
the attic room, and the guilty person was
met at the door, or tapped on the should
er in the interior of the office by another
detective. The apertures through which
the detective overlooked the rooms are in
most places so small as hardly 20 be visi
Bile from the apartments below. Some of
them, however, look boldly down from
the easement, but as the planks in which
they are seen were obtained from very old
timber, the holes would readily be taken
for knot holes. The maxim Of the post
master was, "The detectives and assist
ants watch the employees and people, the
postmaster keeps an eye on the detectives
and assistants, and the Lord will watch
the postmaster"

HOW MILES BEAT CHANDLER

The prominence won by Gep. Miles in
his Indian fight recalls good story;
Miles was in Washington while Zacha-
riah Chandler was in the Interior, and
the first named being appealed to by a
clerkess discharged from the interior
Office, wended his way to that interesting
locality to use his influence to have the
discharge restored. Miles sent in his
pasteboard, and was bid to take a seat
But moments went by on leaden wings
without a summons. He sought the
messenger. The messenger reported that
he had placed the pasteboard before the
Secretary. Miles sent in another, and
yet no doors flew open. At last be was
called into the presence of the great
Michigander, who, worn down by trou.
blesome demands that he characterized
to p;ous member of Congress by saying
that he would "as soon be in hell without
a fan as in the Interior without appropri-
ationN" was in bad humor. Miles help.
ed himself to a chair, and Zach said
gruflly:
"Well, sir, what is your business ?"
II came, Mr.. Secretary" responded
Miles, smoothly, "to get poor woman
restored to her clerkship."
"What," exclaimed Zach. with mn
emphasis that gave the force and the ex
plosion to the word as if shot from the
doadly level of gun.
II came" repeated the distinguished
relative, "to get discharged clerk re-
stored"
Zachariah rose solemnly from his chair
stalked to tho door at which our friend
entered, and, pointing to a printed pla.
card thereon, roared
"Can you read, sir ?"
"Certainly," responded the military
relative, now with good deal of spunR
taken out OF him.
"Then read that"
Miles reads "No vacancies in this
Department."
Good morning. sir" growled Zach
and Miles hauled off to repair damages.
1t happened that the very next Sunday
Miles was entering the grounds of The
Soldiers Home on visit to Colone
Pitcher. He had driven in his buggy
when Zach dashed up, but the Sergen
in charge closed the gate, refusing hin
admittance. Zach had a friend with hin
to whom he was desirous of showing the
Soldiers Home, and noticing this militia,
ry gentleman on the inside, sang out
81 say, Colonel, tell this fellow who
am, will you ?"
Miles dismounted from his buggy
went back through the gate, and sale
slowly to Zacharah
"Can you read, sir 2"
"Certoinly can," roared old Zach.
"Well, sir, read that" and Mile
pointed with tho end Of his whip to tn,
sign on the gate: "No admission OF
Sunday"
Good morning, sir" said Miles, a
he drove away. Tho Sergeant on dut.

THE SULTAN's WAY.-Two hundred
years ago when the Turks made war il
was sufficient for the Sultan to command
a thing, and it was done. When Sulei-
man the Great was marching to the re-
lief of Breda, his advance came to the riv-
er Drave, and found it impossible by rea.
son of a food. The pasha in command
who was, by the way, the minister of wal
sent a staff officer to the Sultan to say
that it would be needrul to wait for the
subsidence Of the waters before the army
could cross. The Sultan heard the mes
sage, and then said to the aide-de- camp
"Tel the pasha that in four days | shall
beat Drave with this army. II the bridge
for us to cross is not then ready, / shall
strOngle him with my own hands" The
bridge was ready and the army crossed at
the appointed time, but several hundreds
of men had been drowned in the process
of bridging the food. So when artillery
was needed for the siege operations, and
no artillery could be tgought up, because
of the lack of roads, the Sultan had only
to say: "lEave artillery here or you die :"
and the artillery was always forthcoming,
although in several instances metal had
to be brought upon cames and the cast
ing of cannon had 10 be added to the or
dinary list Of siege operations. a little of
the same spirit remains with the Turks of
to-day. They have no cavalry and no
money to buy horses, and yet cavalry
must be had. Orders are sent to the dis
trict governors to send cavalry to the
front instantly, and it is forthcoming. In
every district there are any number of
Circassisns who are hRnkerng after a
fight with the Russians. The govern or
simply orders out these Circassians, and
they help themselves to horses and arti-
ticles of equipment wherever they find
them, and report for duty with smiling
countenances, and no questions are asked 4.

SAVED FOR GREATNESS Madame dc
Manlenon, who became the wife of Louis
NV, of France, and for the last thirty
years of his life exercised n controlling in
Auence over his opinions and policy, had
narrow escape from premature burial
in childhood. Her parents migrated
from France to the Isle of Martinique
when she was ten years old. On the voy-
age she was taken i'll, and the sickness
ended in apparent death. The funeral
rites were over tho last look taken Of
the body about to be dropped into the
sea cannon was loaded to be fired over
the corpse, when the mother, ordinarily
unloving, insisted on seeing her child once
more. TO her surprise, she found the
heart still beating, and, in delirium Of
joy, declared that the child was not dead I,
but would recover. The hope, born Of
rapture, proved true prophecy, and the
little girl, so nearly given to burial in the
ocean, was spared to become one of the
most distinguished women in French his
! tory.

The TINE TO CUT GRAss.-The prop
er time to cut grass or hay is a matter of
some dispute, though the weight Of testi-
mony is in favor of early cutting. ASIAN
old; writer on agriculture has wittilyI
said, "grass should be cut while it isl
grass, and not after it has become hay."l
The flavor or richness of the grass passes
away as soon as the stalk becomes dry,
toug and fibrous, and evidently much
nourishment is lost as we'll as the fra
GRANGE which gives it relish by leaving it
standing too long. Farmers as arule do
not attach that Importance to the hay
crop which its real value demands, and
are apt to consider the exact time of har-i
vesting it as matter of no great conse-
quence. But when it is considered that
it is the crop that furnishes the largest
share of food for both horses and cattle
during at least half of the year, it will be-
admitted that it is of value enough to
warrant the best, care in cutting and,
curing. fit is cut at the right time al
very few hours ofsunshinew will fit it forI
the NOW or stack. 1t is betteritol be sput|
up little damp than to have all the
moisture dried out in the sun. Itshould
be put away in such a condition as. to
show green and bright when fed out sin
the winter. It is then eaten with the
greatest relish and yields the largest
amount of nourishment.-lndiana Farm

We publish this morning in the Chron-

count recently given by Commodore Pc
gram of the gallant service rendered the
South during the war, by Capt. F. w.
Dawson, now one Of the editors and pro-
.prietors of the Charleston Neacs and Cou-
rier. Commodore Pegram was a distin.
guished Officer of the Confederate States
Navy, snd compliments from such q
source must need be gratifying to any
man. He does not stint bis, praise in
speaking of the career of Capt. LDawson,
but bears unsolicited testimony to the
zeal, the devotion and; the conspicuous
gallantry displayed BY the young Eng.
lishman in the cause of constitutional
liberty. But it is as a Journalist that
Capt. Dawson is best known, and his SER
vices in that field have been of the great
est value to his adopted State and section.

raise South Carolina to her proper place

BEWARE OF DAMP CLOTHING. G.-Few
persons understand fully the reason why
wet clothing exerts such a chilling inAu-
ence. 1t is simply this: Water, when it
eyaporates, carries off an immense
amount of heat, in what is called the
latent form. One pound in vapor con-
tains as much heat as nine or ten pounds
of LIQUOR water, and all this heat must,
Of course, be taken from the body. If
our clothes are moistened with three
pounds of water, that is, if by wetting
they are three pounds heavier, these
three pounds will, in drying carry off as
much heat as would raise three gallons
of ice.cold water to the boiling point:
