diminish the expenses of the postal service:
Tbs international postal congress, which met
1t Paris, May l, 1878, and continued in session
until June of the same year, was composed
of delegate. from nearly all tn. civilized
countries of the world. II adopted . new
convention to take the place of the treaty con-
cluded At Berne, October 3, 1874. which goes
into effect on the LIST of April. 1879, between
the countries whose delegates have signed it.
1t was ratified and approved by and with the
consent of the President, August Is, 1878. A
synopsis of this
UNIVERSAL POSTAL CONVENTION
will be found in the report of the postmaster
general and the full text in the appendix there
to. In its origin, the postal union comprised
twenty-three countries, having population of
three hundred and fifty millions of people. On
the LIST of April next it will comprise forty
three countries and colonies with population
of more than six hundred and fifty millions of
people, and will soon, by the accession of the
few remaining countries and colonies. which
maintain organized postal services, constitute
in fact as well Is in name, n its new title in
dictates. q universal uni'n, regulating upon q
cheap basis of cheap postage rates, the postal
intercourse between all civilized nations.
Some embarrassment has arisen out Of the
conflict between the customs laws of this
country and the provisions OF the postal con-
vention in regard to the transmission of for
eign books and newspapers to this country by
mail. 1t is hoped that congress will be able to
devise some means of reconciling the difficult
ties which have thus been created SO Is to do
justice to all nations involved.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
The business of the Supreme court and of
the courts in many of the circuits has increas-
ed to such an extent during the past year that
additional leoislxtion Ia imperative tn relieve
and prevent the delay of justice and possible
oppression to suitors which is thus occasioned.
The encountered condition of these dockets is
presented anew in the report of the attorney
general, and the remedy suggested is earnestly
urged for Congressional action. The creation
of additional circuit judges, rs proposed.
would afford q complete remedy and would in
volve an expense at the present rate of salaries
of not more than sixty thousand dollars a

the tendencies are in that direction and with
increasing force. The power of public opinion
will override all political prejudices and all

SINGLE BLESSEONESS.

It is true that for the great number
cf us, married life is the perfect life, it
is equally true that, for others of us,
the single life is. the perfect life. In
the case of men 1t is superfuous either
to illustrate it by instances, or to sup
port it by argument especially when
we remember that the solution of the
question rests usually with themselves.
As for unmarried women, what
dreary wilderness this earth would be
without them In thousands of homes
the maiden sister or aunt is the angel
of the family, the children's idol, the
secret wonder and delight even of those
not too scrupulous to use her; by sick
beds and death beds divine consoler
the depository of the sweet secrets of
blushing hearts, the tender friend of
the old, and the poor, and the lonely.
Old maids, indeed! Why, with GER
tain obvious exceptions, they are the
salt of the earth, the calm and sweet
life of the household that is so blessed
to own them; there distinction, to be
wanted by everybody; their reward. to
be useful to everybody; their home
the snuggest, warmest place in the
hearts that can love. And if they have
a niche to fill on earth, as none can fill
like them, many of them shall have a
crown of snrpassing brightness in heay-
/ en-.
Men, and women, too, sometimes keep
single, not so much because no one cares
for them, but because they themselves
care for Christ, first and most. The
chosen solitariness of an unmarried life
is occasionally the sacrifice of self, Sc
crety, but deliberately, laid at the feet
of him who pleased not himself !; and it
has, and shall have its recompense.
"The unmarried woman careth for the
things of the Lord, that she may be ho-
ly both in body and spirit" Presently
she will find out. and others, also, that
the Lord hath cared for her.-.Sunday

hand, wherever the circumstances had
been reversed and they had become the
assailants, they had failed. There had
been much sneering against the Russian
soldiers because they had been unable
to carry those works against which they
had dashed themselves on the 18th of
September. He felt certain that the
Turks would never have done that; and
on the memorable occasion when they
attempted to break out of Plevna, al
though there were 10000 Turks, and
not more than between 10000 or H.
900 Russians at the point where that
attempt was made, everybody knew how
it terminated. He did not wish unduly
to disparage the Turks, but when they
were so extravagantly lauded for what
they had done, it was necessary to take
these things into consideration, and not
to be led away by the exaggerated eu-
logies heaped upon them. The Turks
had every possible motive to make them
fight we'll, and yet when they had to at
tack in the open instead of shooting from
behind a wall they were obliged TO sur
render in mass"

The GREAT WALL OF CHINA.

The Great Wall of China was recent
ly measured in many places by Mr..
Unthank, an American engineer engaged
on survey for Chinese railway. His
measurements give the height l5 feet,
and a width on top of Is feet. Every.
few hundred yards there Is tower "a
feet square, and from 20 to 25 feet
high. The foundation of the wall is of
solid granite. Mr.. Unthank brought
with him a brick from the wall, which
is supposed to have been made 200
years before the time of Christ In
building this immense stone fence to
keep out the Tartars, the builders never
attempted to avoid mountains of chasms
to save expense. For 1900 miles the
wall goes over plain and mountain, and
every foot of the foundation is of solid
granite, and the rest of the structure
solid masonry. In some places the
wall is built smooth up against the
bank, or canons, or precipices, where
there is sheer descent of 1000 feet.
Small streams are arched over; ; but on
the larger streams the wall runs to the
waters edge, and tower is built on
each side. On the top of the wall there
are breastworks of defences facing in
and out, SO the defending forces can
pass from one tower to another without
being exposed to any enemy from either
side. To calculate the time of building
or cost of this wall is beyond human
skill. So far as the magnitude Of the
work is concerned, it surpasses every
thing in ancient or monern times Of
which there is any trace. The Prya-
mids of Egypt are nothing compared

he came in sight of the camp he lay
down with his face to the ground, and
covering himself with his cloth, lay for
some time like little corpse. | told
him kindly that we should be happy to
have him back when he could come
with the doctors permission. Then he
was comforted, and allowed himself to
be carried back. Poor boy he was not
long in following his mother beyond the
reach of famine.
One little boy from southern village
states that his mother some time ago
went off with the two youngest children
into the jungle and destroyed both the
children and herself, that his father and
he were for some little time In the camp
at Pattacottah, and when that was closed
they wondered about begging. One
night they strayed into our compound
at Melnattam, and lay down in the
chapel verandah. The father died dur
ing the night, and his only surviving
child was left alone in the world YES

FAITHFULNESS OF A DOG.

Unon the death of certain noble
man in Krain, his earnest neighbor,
Baron Apf-took possession of the de-
ceased's favorite dog. Fidele was not a
willing captive, but affectionate treat
ment finally won him over. The dog
learned to do without his former mas
ter. though not to forget him.
One year passed before Fidele again
saw his old home; it then occurred to
Baron Apf-to revisit the house of
his late friend, in order that he might
see if the property in the meantime had
been carefully administered.
He took the dog with him. Before
the end of the journey, Fidele gave signs
of great uneasiness. 1t became impos-
sible to hold him, he sprang from the
carriage and ran across the fields, soon
disappearing from the Baron's sight.
When the latter arrived at the house
his first enquiry was for the dog, an old
servant of the family, now acting as
steward, related as follows: Hearing q
great scraping and scratching on the
outer door, he opened it and immediate.
ly recognized Fidele.
The dog rushed past him and up
stairs into his dead masters chamber
which had been left open. The stew
ard hurriedly followed. and hearing hin
whine, found him sitting at the foot Of
his masters bed, which had not beer
moved from its original place. The dog
ran round the chamber several times
and not finding what he SO anxiously
sought, laid himself down in his ole
place on the bed. Here the Baror
found him, and the animal formerly 81
friendly, gave him no greeting. Ii
vain they offered him drink; he woult
touch nothing, and his eyes remained
constantly fixed upon the spot where h
had last seen his master alive. Afte
some days it was found necessary to US
force to get him away, and it was onl,
by degrees, and after the lapse of CON
siderable time, that he regained his for
mer cheerfulness.

THE CRIPPLED SPARROW.

Once poor crippled sparrow fell to
the ground, and futtered about in
vain attemp to regain place Of safety.
Some of Its mates gathered around it,
and seemed eager to help it; but they
did not know what to do. Their chirp-
ing drew together good many of the
sparrow tribe. One thought this
thing ought to be done. another that.
Some tried to lift the helpless bird by
catching its wings in their beak; but
this failed, and such chattering and
scolding as took place!
Presently two of the birds flew away,
but soon came back with twig six or
seven inches long and an eighth Of an
inch thick. This was dropped before
the poor cripple and at each end was
picked up by sparrow, and held SO
that the lame bird was able to catch the
middle of the twig in his beak.
Then the cripple bird, with the aid of
the other two, flew off. till they came to
the wall covered with ivy, where it had
its home There it chirped, to show
glad it was. All the other sparrows
followed, as if to share in the pleasure
of the rescue. This is true story.
