RObbing a Plumber.

CICERO, in his celebrated oration on that
subject, says that ''it is impossible to rob
. plumber; and this is but a repetition of
what the earlier Greek writers had previ-
ously said. This maxim or saying has been
accepted as true in all ages and by all ma
tions. The Chinese books, written centuries
before the building of the great wall, iterate
and reiterate this fact so often that the care
full student of Chinese history is left
in doubt whether the generally accepted
reason for the building of the great wall
n the true one, and whether it was not
really built to keep out the plumbers rather
than the Tartars. The Chinese saying,
Scratch Tartar and you will find q
plumber" strengthens this theory. When
THOR threw his hammer at WoDIN and
bursted through the crust of the earth at
the spot where the maelstrom now pene-
tr1tes into the interior, it was because
WoDIN i'll his cups compared him to a
plumber. U-cAN-TFI-NEHIM, the first of
the mighty kings of Mtemba, declared
shat no plumber should live in that Ki.,-
DOM" and hence the happy condItlon OF
that people when discovered by LIVING
sToNE and STANLEY.
But, in all that has been written on the
subject, nowhere has there been the slightest
hint that a. plumber could be robbed

Empire during the present dynasty is very
clear. No danger of railroad strikes or freight

declared when he recently took possession of
the road that runs from Shanghai to the pal

This road is but nine miles in length, and was
the first railroad experiment in China. The
Viceroy has stopped all traffic on the road,
pulled out the fires from the "are dragon" as
the locomotive is called by these single
haired Mongolians, and allowed the people to
pull up the rails in fact, the Viccroy has rel
egatcd the entire affair to the junk-shop. The
Chinese oppose the introduction of railways,
because, 1t is argued, they would deprive poor
people Of the subsistence they now earn as car.

disgraceful that in Franklin County, where

There is another subject intimately re.

Mexican Postage.

Our Mexican neighbos complain, and with
some reason apparently, Of the cost and difficulty
OF sending letters to the United States and Europe
by the way Of Havana. The following is from the
Tro Republics. published at the City Of Mexico:
The necessities OF American commerce demand
that a postal treaty be celebrated between the
governments Of the United States. Span. and
Mexico. There arc many evils existing that are
very onerous upon American and other foreign
residents In Mexico that could be removed by q
tripartite postal treaty. On the present occa.
sion we shall only refer to the inconrenences and
uncertainty - merchants in Mexico, the United
States and in Europe, where necessity requires
them TO send their correspondence either way by
Havana Merchants in Mexico, dpsirous of avail
ing themselves of the English and French packets
to send letters TO the United States, through
Havana find their letters delayed instead of being
forwarded, and generally they remain dead" In
the ofice Of that city. As there exists obi
CATION upon the posi-ofice ofiieials In Havana to
forward them and the spanish postage not being
paid they detatn them In that Office.
The postage at Havana Is an enormity in these
days OF progress. But few Of our friends In the
United States are aware that the Spanish postage
is more than thirty times OF that In the United
States. For instance, letter that will be carried
from New Orleans TO San Francisco for three cents
has TO pay twenty-five cents Mexican postage TO
Vera Cruz, which Is high enough: but Of Havana
the letter must pay one dollar The postage Is not
the greatest difficulty In commerce. II is that Of
getting letters forwarded from Havana.
