subject to the will of said Barbara, Of which lands

legally prObated and recorded in the Probate Court Of
That by said will said Barbara directs said above
named parties, being her children and heirs, to be

MAIL CONTRACTS THAT PAY.

The Profits that Little Rock Man Says He Made
by Sub.Letting Them-PeCullar Transactions by
a Company having Its Headquarters In Wash
ingtOn.
Washington, March 20-The House
Committee of Postoffices began to-day an
investigation into the whole subject of
contracts for star service. The only wit.
ness examined to-day was j. D. Adams,
of Little Rock, Ark. He has contracts
for four routes. They were given to him
without the formality of a bid, which is
a plain violation of law. He admitted
that he sub.et all his contracts, and
that, while not carrying letter himself,
was making an annual profit of about
$4,000 One contract for $40 600 he sub
let for $4,000, making a profit out of the
Government of $4,000 per annum. The
committee will investigate certain con.
tracts with the members Of certain
mail transportation company which has
its headquarters in Washington. The
company has never made bid in its
corporate capacity, but the individual
members all bid and 60 on the bonds of
each other. One Boone, member, is
also notary public, and in the late bids
certified to the signatures in his official
capacity. Among the names thus certi.
fed to was that of j. W. Peck, who was
in New Mexico at the time and could not
have signed his name. 1t is supposed
that another member of the company,
], R. Minor, signed PeCk's name, and
was summoned to appear before the COM
mittee this morning, but he left the city
last night for Ohio and conld not be
found. Col. Money, of Mississippi, one
of the members of the committee, says
he is satisfied that instead of yearly
deficit in the revenues of the PostoffiCe
reaching up into the millions, the de-
partment should pay it's own expenses,
and he thinks it can be made to do this.
He proposes to introduce bill to pre-
vent sub contracting entirely. His bill
will provide that the contract shall be
annulled if any contractor sub.lets his
contract, and will authorize the depart
ment to contract with the sub b.contractor
at the same rate that he took the SUBJ
contract. In this way Col. Money thinks
great saving could be effected in the
cost of mail routes. Another matter
which the committee will examine into
is the way in which unnecessary routes
have been established and extended.
AS an instance, the route from Mehilla,
in New Mexico, to San Diego was started
some years ago with service once a
week at $45,0 900 per annum. 1t was then
raised by order, which was contrary to
law, to 100000 per annum, with SER
vice of three times a week. By another
order, again contrary to law, it was raised
to $685., 1888 Part of the service on
this route, for which so large sum is
paid, is performed by boy and a mule.

The second is the Amnesty bill crushing

LESSON ON MERCY FR0MMP4N
Japan Gazette.l ]

Japan Gazette.
A man was brought before the Komon
Giko, the lord of the castle Mito for kill
ing a stork. Giko ordered the prisoner
to be kept in Jail till next year. it being
then the end Of year. Early in the fol-
lowing year Giko, according to the pres
vailng custom, gave feast in his castle
to all the priests under his dominion.
After the feast was over, the conversation
turned on the subjects of mercy and
charity, the leading virtues of the true
Buddhist. 81 have man, said the KoN
mon, "who broke the law by killing a
stork, and shall let you see how deal
with such an offender and he ordered
the prisoner to be taken out and bound
securely to a large tree in the garden,
which order being quickly complied with.
Giko approached HIM with drawn sword
and threatened blow, while the priests,
who had been preaching about mercy
and charity remained silent and without
any inclination to interfere on behalf OF
the poor fellow "These dull monks do
not understand anything" exclaimed
the lord, throwing away his sword. "Do
you think | would kill man for having
killed a bird? Only, considering that
the public laws are inviolable, | expects
ed your pious interference for his life, and
then | would have released him. but all
ofyou look foolish and do not think OF
mercy, though you speak enough about
it. Now, leave here this moment and
begone to some other part of the empire;
for do not allow any merciIess priests
to serve in temples under my own dos
minion." So he drove away the monks
and released the man who had killed the
bird.

GARFIELD's LAST EXPERIMENT

From the Washington Postl
The evidence against Gen. Garfield was
overwhelming that he had received a
large portion of the 100000 bonus used
as a corruption fund, furnished by De-
Golyer and Mcclellan, to influence the
Belgium pavement works to award them
contract for zoe, 900 yards of wood pave.
ment at the exorbitant price of $3.50 per
yard. Garfeld's share being contingent
upon the award by said board at that
price the appropriations for the same
being largely dependent upon Gen. Gar
field. Col. Glover, Chairman of the Real
Estate Pool Committee, at once notified
Gen. Garfield that evidence seriously ef
feCting his official character had been
given before the committee, and asked it
he (Garheld) wished to make any ez,
PLANTATION. Garfield sought to justify his
official connection with this notorious
swindle, whereby through bribery and
fraud contract was obtained solely
through his influence for 100000, by.
means so corrupt as to compel Congress
to abolish the District Government and
sweep it out of existence into the igno.
miny it deserved, in order to save the
taxpaying people of the District from
absolute bankruptcy. Garfield, under
his Official oath, stated that he was re-
quested by particular frierd and agent
Of DeGolyer & Mcclellan to file an opin-
ion and argue the same before the board
upon the merits of the DeGolyer pave,
