THE OLD AND THE NEW POST.
Rowand Hill changed all this. He was the third

born at Kidderminster. In Yorkshire December 3,
17g5. He early developed fondnoss for figures.
His first occupation was mathematical tutor In

founding Of the colony of South Australia II was
about this time that he rst turned his attention to
the detects in postal organization, and In 1887 he
published q pamphlet the much needed postal
reform. His exertions resulted In 1888 In the
appointment of o special committee Of the House
OF Commons, and in August of the same year
the commission reported in favor of adopting
the plan of a uniform low rate of postage,
as recommended by Mr.. Hill, the evidence
having proved that injurious effects resulted from
tho old state of affairs to the commerce and ustry
OF the country and to the social habits aud moral
condition of the people. In 1889 more than two

q remarkable fact that since the violation of the
quarantine by the German vessel, cholera has
so increased in Yokohama aud Toxic. which be-
fore were comparatively Free that these ports
are now formally declared infected. The rep
resentatives of European Powers generally have
suddenly issued a notification, requiring their
countrymen to observe and obey the Japanese
regulations. 1t is feared, however, that the
concession comes too late.
1t is impossible to overstate the evaporation
of the Japanese. They feel and declare that
solely for the maintenance of paltry and false
principle of diplomatic dignity the plague has
been set loose upon the people of this
part of the empire. Only one foreign
representative, the American, has re-
cognized the Japanese to be right
from the beginning. The British Envoy has led
all the others in opposition, and the ground as
sumed by him is that Japans privilege of cx-
Guiding foreign ships on any plea must never be
acknowledged. If the government apprehend
peril from an epidemic he says that the foreign
ENJOYS must be appealed to, and that it is
for them to decide whether steps should be
taken to prevent the entrance of dis
ease The irritation of government and
people is more intense than ever before. In
addition to the United States Minister, Mr..
Bingham, and General Grant, Governor Hen

The cholera continues virulent, but there are
signs Of abatement. Within the present month
thus far 45, 900 attacks and 25, 900 deaths are

of Hakone. During his stay at Toxic he was
visited by the Mikado, who consulted him on

The organization will doubtless be complete be-

consented to support it warmly and actively.

Attempts have been made to inveigle China
into an angry demonstration against Japan on
account of the Loochoo Islands affair. The
agency of the British is plainly apparent in the
matter and not, indeed, disguised; but apart
from the representations made by Prince Kung

have been taken, and the effort of the agitators

dition for the cotton states of 81 per
cent. Q decline since September 1st of
4 per cent, as compared with October,

the condition then was 80 per cent.
Storms of great velocity have visited
Louisiana and Mississippi causing
great damage. The insect injuriesare
not reported to any great extent, al
though almost universal their appear
ance was too late to do much damage.
The unfavorable weather in Georgia
and Alabama in September was re-
ported. Drought IN Texas has short
ened the prospect in that stale nearly
25 per cent. Arkansas and Tennessee
are the only states showing en- in
crease over the condition at this time
in 1878. The tobacco condition to
October 1st has improved from that
on September 1st in nine of the large
producing states, declined in two and
remained the same in one state, Tho
average for these states is SO, gain 6.
The early planted tobacco ripened
well and has been harvested in good
condition, showing in general an ex-
cellent quality. The crops were ma.
terially damaged by the frost in Ohio
and slightly SO in few localities in
Virginia and Tennessee. The decline
in Missouri is ascribed to drought.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 1O.-The forth
coming annual report of the commits
sioner of the general land Office will
contain an interesting comparative
statement of the disposals of public
lands to actual settlers during each of
the last five fiscal years. The totals
range from about 100000 to 1000.
600 acres each for the fiscal years of
1875, 1876 and 1877 to 7,166,974 acres
for the year ending June 30. 1878, and
$3.50, 1l9 acres during the twelve
months ended with last June. The
totals of entries under the homestead
and timber-culture laws contrast as
follow: For the fiscal year of 1877,
2.69S,771 acres; for 1878, 6,2SS, ,779
acres for 1879, S,O26,6S5 acres. The
cash sales show a decrease OF 255, 600
acres since last year, when they ag-
gregated about $4,000 acres, but the
net increase in the amount of land
taken by actual settlers the last fiscal
year is found to have been nearly one
and half million acres.
