ON THE STOOL OF REPENTANCE.

gallant young gentleman, well known about
town, is just now in the midst of Of troubles.
His hair was thinned out by his better half last
night after the opera, and he had no appetite for
breakfast. In order to revel in the sweet notes
of Pappenheim, he invited his spouse and lady
friend to attend "Faust" at the Opera House.
After the first act the gentleman withdrew to
smoke cigarette during the entire acte. when he
met an old friend he had not seen for some time.
A glass of wine was proposed, and the two old
companions walked up the street. They
talked about old times and old friends,
smoked more and chatted, longer until immersed
in the pleasures OF the "sweet recollection Of the
things gone by" they became oblivious to the
passage of time. To the amazsment of our
friend, Tyler's clock sounded, and he started
with rapid strides for the Opera House. Horrors!
The place was closed, the lights out, the curtain
down, the p ace deserted. Timidly he let him;
self into his house with bis night key and then and
there met the onslaught of an offended lady.
The two ladies had had to walk home alone wi b.
out an escort, and that there was some sharp
talking it is safe to guess. The poor fellow had
no excuse and now mourns his absent-minded-

THE POSTAL COMMISSION.
HOW 1T WAS CREATED. IT'S PUR-
POSE, AND THE OBJECTS 1T
HAS IN VIEW.
Its Visit to New Orleans-A Big slice 0f
work Cut Out for 1t During

hGs VISIT 10 New Ofseans-A Big 9ICs We
Work Cut Out for 1t During
It's stay.
The gentlemen of the Postal Commission,
whose arrival is daily looked for, had not reached
the city yesterday, and Major Tupper the chair
man of the local committee, was not apprised OF
their whereabouts or the exact time when they
should arrive.
For the information of our readers we will give
the origin and purpose of this commission. 1t
was appointed by the President under
AN ACT OF CONGRESS OF 1876,
to inquire and report what changes were neees'
sary In the mail service by railroad. By subse-
quent act these powers were extended 80 as 10
include the Investigation of the steamboat ana
star SERVICE which last is the interior routes over
which the mails are carried by stages wagons,
on horseback, eto.
Mr.. Hubbard, of Boston, formerly the very able
and efficient chairman OF the House Congress
sional Committee on Postofoes and Post IL Iads'
was the very excellent appointment to the chair
manship Of the commsson
The first report of MIR. Hubbard was made to
the
OLD POINT COMFORT CONVENTION,
which was assembled at his instgaon, the
entire proceedings OF which were reported in full
by the DEMOCRAT.
The report of Mr.. Hubbard upon that occasion
showed tha the mail facilities were very unequal
in the various parts Of the country, and that JUS
tice required thorough revision OF ell the post
routes in the country and more equal distribu-
ton OF the governments favors In this respect.
1t was shown that the appropriations for the
Southern States had been reduced IL per cent
since 1860, while in the North and West they had
been increased, In the same period, not less than
so per cent. The correction Of this unequal dis.
tribution and the establishment throughout the
whole country Of greater postal facilities
the thorough revision Of the whole postal SER
vice-is the business Of this commission.
Accompanying the commission will be one or
two members Of Congress, from the House Com
mttee on Postofices and Post Roads, and it is
hoped that Mr.. waddell, OF North Carolina, the
chairman Of this committee, will be one of these.
The OBJECT OF THE VISIT
of the commission to New Orleans ia, first,
to make such Investigations and suggest
such changes as may be necessary to Sc
onre as more rapid and efficient railroad SER
vice. 70 snow how utter.y inefficient aud uncer-
tain this service ia now. we publish the following
abatement, furnished by the postmaster in this
city OF the time of arrival OF the daily Northern
mails, via Mobile, Montgomery. Louisville and
Cincinnati. The schedule time for arrival is

seen that the mail has reached here exactly
