. paper The World Is and how worthy IL Is Of
their support.
On the LIST Of Nay, 1870, the ownership and
control OF The World passed into the hands Of
the undersigned, under whose absolute and un~
srammelled directions The World has ever since
remained and now remains.
During the whole Of this time The World has
Iaborrd patieaay and PsFsevrringiy tor abe ac-
eomplishment Of two great objects in politics og
paramount interest 10 the Southern people.
I. The restoration Of Local Self-esoverRmRnt
81 the South.
IT. A Real Reform Of the Civil Service, In such
wise as 20 destroy the political machines under
the operation Of which it has cone 20 pass that
the people are taxed TO support political parties,
whereas political parties have no other reason Of
being except 70 lessen the burdens Of govern
ment.
The first Of these objects has been triumphant-
" accomplished. All intelligent Northern men
now admit that all parts Of the country were a.
deeply interested as the South in seeing IL won.
A corrupt and anti-Democratic government In
the South was permanent peril 20 the ascenden-
ey Of true American principles in the Federal
Government and therefore 10 the peace aud honor
Of the whole people.
The second political object for which Tho
World contends still remains 70 be fully achieved
The actual Administration began its career with
excellent promises in this direction Of which Il Is
sufficient 10 say that they have been as yet only
in part redeemed. The World for It's part will
rcsOlutely support any honest efIcrt 10 redeem
these promises fully, by whomsoeveF made, ana
will as reSolutely denOunoe every obstacle thrown
in the way of redeeming them, from whatever
quarter.
II seems 10 the undersigned emiacntly proper
that he should ask the cooperation Of the best
men Of the South with The World in its efforts
to carry out the policy here outlined lie be-
lieves The World TO be paper which Southern
citizens and Democrats can recommend 10 South
ern readers rs an influence worthy aud impor-
tant TO be brought 10 bear with constantly in
creasing power upon the conduct Of our national
affairs, in the interest Of truth OF Justice and Of
harmony among our people Of all sections.
II is my desire 20 keep The World in n living
relation with the best thought ofthe South TO the
end that the best ideas, wishes aud feelings Of
the Southern people may be clearly and fairly
made known to the North, the East and the
West. Alike in private and in public affairs the
Misunderstanding Of men by one another lies At
the root Of so much evil that the word itself has
come TO be a synonym with quarreling and
strife. IL was a wise saying Of Lord Eigin, at
the time Of one Of our shaFpcsi disputes with
Great Britain, that two intelligent gentlemen
alone on n raft in the Atlantic with plenary
powers could adjust the whole matter honorably
in an hour.
The World simply asks its friends at the
South 10 aid IL in bringing about n complete
meeting Of minds on all pablo questions between
the intelligent citizens OF ell parts Of the Union

The Dead.Letter Office.

The Dead-Letter Office is an interest
ing place to visit; not at all like living
letter Office, but large room containing
many tables at which sit clerks examin-
ing, sorting and arranging the piles OF
correspondence that have come to
naught. Some open letters, which are
then passed to others for examination,
when those containing money are passed
on to clerks whose duty it is to make q
memorandum o. the contents. Then the
whole is freshly reinclosed to return to
the sender; and, in case it doesn't find
him, it comes back to Washington. 1t
is interesting to see the contents of the
moneyed letters. Small pieces of silver
and currency are plentiful, and some
times bit OF silver will have piece of
currency wrapped around it, so careful
ly! The bank-notes range from 81 to
$50, and perhaps higher, but that was
the largest one we saw. Who would be
SO careless as to let 800 note go astray :?
It must have been lovely woman; for the
direction on all the letters we glanced at
was in feminine chirography. The many
articles which have failed to find an own
er and have returned to the Dead Letter
Office, such as jewelry, embroideries,
and all the little things that are sent by
mail, were until recently kept on exhibit
ton, and formed quite curious muse
UNI; but they are now packed away pre-
paratory to being sold at auction

her piece of rock-salt thinking it a
costly gem. Examining the gift she
discovered, imbedded iu the heart of the
crystal, her long-lost ring. This told
to her the heaven-sent secret. She
knew that. far down in the bottom of
the well, a running stream had carried
her treasure down deep through the
earth, over rich deposits of precious
salt, and that at last the spring had hub
bled up into the sunlight at the foot of
her native mountains, bringing with it
the double jewel. She knew, too, that
the salt, which had set her ring in a
crystal prison, must be waiting near in
blessed abundance for her poor people.
This good and wise Queen was not mis-
taken. Search was at once made and
richly rewarded; since the year 1852 the
salt mine of Wielezka have been a
source of wealth far beyond gold or dia-
monds-
These vast galleries underlie the whole
town and are places of public amuse-
ment and festivity. Oftentimes the
great ballroom is splendidly Illuminated,
bands play, and young people dance
meTTily on the hard, white floor.
Once a year there is service in the
magnificent chapel, a thank Offering to
the giver of this and all other good gifts.
There is but one mine known that is
older than this. In merry England the
salt works of Worcestershire have been
yielding vast supplies since the early
days of the Saxon Heptarchy. More
than fourteen centuries is very venera-
BILE old age, and yet their resources seem
undiminished and inexhaustible.
Whatever the good God gives for our
pressing daily need is given without
stint.-Catherine Cameron, in " Tide

Mr.. Chase and the Presidency,

The fact that Mr.. Richard Parsons is
connected with the Cleveland Herald.
and was for long time in confidential
relations with Mr.. Chase, gives a special
interest to the following passage from an
editorial IN the Herald concerning the
letter from Mr.. Chase, relating to the
New York Convention of 1868. receZtIy
published:
No harm can now be done bv saving that
Mr. Chase not only warmly desired the nopina-
ton for the Presidency at the hands of the
Democratic Convention in 1868. but he had
every reason to expect he would receive it.
Mr. Chase repeatedly to his friends justified
his right to accept it, on the grounds that he
had changed none of the PRINCIPLES he had ed-
Vocated, and was as firmly devoted to their
complete triumph as ever. But he insisted
thas the Democratic party, if it nominated him
Tor the Presidency, "a would come over to him >
and he could, without loss of consistency and
with entire propriety of conduct, accept the
nomination If 1t were rendered. Nobody knows
better than Mr.. Seymour that in accepting the
nomination. instead OF declining il and turning
II over TO Chase, SIS he could have done and a.
he, II fact, wished to do. he made the greatest
mistake ever committed by q public man for
himself or his party. Had Chase been nom
mated by the convention of 1868, il is not i'm
probable thst the current of American politics
might have been entirely changed, and neither
Grant nor Hayes would have touched the
Presidency. From personsl knowledge we
know that Mr.. Chase had the utmost confidence
IN his election. If nominated, and this conf
dence was largely shared by some of the most
eminent Democratic statesmen of the country
who warmly espoused his nomination
The probability is they were all mis-
taken. We thought at the time that the
