Postmaster General Key is engag.
ed in an effort to protect rural. gull
able. greenhorns from city swindlers.
Evidence has accumulated in the
Post Office Department sufficient TO
show that none Of the so.called lot.
teries so numerous now, is anything
other than a fraudulent concern, con.
Quoted upon fraudulent principles.
Enough has been submitted TO the
Postmaster General TO warrant him
issning orders to the postmasters at
New York. New Orleans, and Louis.
vile that no Post Office Money Or.
ders ehall be paid TO certain lottery
dealers and "curb stone brokers'
who advertise to buy and sell lottery
tickets on commission. These deal
ers are designated by name and firm
as follows: w. X. Porter and w
C. Creighton, alias B. H. Porter &

Frank Moore. alias NJ. A. Dauphin,
New York. and NJ. A. Dauphin, New
Orleans. Another lot of orders
against other alleged fraudulent con-
Germs have been issued. AS there
are number of these parties doing
business under fictitious names. the
Postmaster General has also ordered
that pOstmasters shall detain ordina-
ry mail matter addressed to these !
fictitious names and send it to the |
dead-letter Office. This is merely
enforcing an existing law. Judge |
Key holds that the statutes give him
power TO prevent the mails being
used by fraudulent concerns.

Newport Reporter Hogs going at Sc.

474 pairs of marriage licenses have been
issued from the Clerks office in New
port. Two drOyes of hogs, about 700
in all, left Big Greek last week.
Farmers of this county say that the like
of wheat flies was never before known,
and think they will do fatal work in
the spring. Hogs are dying in some
localities of this county with a disease
something like distemper. Mrs, Bet

residence near ParrOttsville last Thurs

THOSE WHO DIED AT P0MpEH.

Though the victims of the great erup.
ton of Vesuvius in A d. 70 lived SO
long ago, they were our fellow creatures
and it is impossible to recall their fate
especially one might think, TO recall it
on the spot-withOut feeling of horror.
Sir William Cell estimated the number
of people who persisted at 1900; but
during recent excavations so many bodies
have been found that it SCENE to haye
been far greater; and when we consider
that, closely as the inhabitants were
packed, Pompeii was still but little
place, the proportion of deaths appears
large. 1t is, of course, satisfactory to
the antiquary to reflect that the misfor-
tunes of Pompeii have been great gain
to modern knowledge. The manners of
the ancient Romans are better known to
us by what has been discovered here I'M
der the ashes than by all the pictures or
statues or writings existing elsewhere.
The town has been very recently rebuilt,
and the remains are chiefly of one Pc
riod; but the decorations are remarkable
for their rarity as we'll as for their fresh
ness. In fact, the state of pictorial art
in the first century would be almost I'M
known to us but for the frescoes from
the House of the Tragic Poet and the
beautiful wall-paintings now in the
Naples museum. The Saturday ReCSeIo.

Concerning the Virginia election, the
Washington correspondent Of the Balti-

simply been a rallying cry. There is
hardly a doubt that Malone will be
promptly elected United States Senator

justers have a clear majority. In case
the Malone strength is not sufficient to
elect its favorite, it is among the specu-
latiOns that the successor of Senator

A press dispatch from st. Louis, last
Saturday, says that there is a movement
among the millers of that place to close
their mills until the price of wheat de-
clines. The reason assigned is. that flour
is below the price at which il can be
made without loss. 1t is stated that
many mlllers have lost heavily on con-
tracts made when wheat was less than
$1.OO per bushel and they see no profit
in the immediate future. But little flour
has been shipped from there for the last
three weeks and large amounts are in
store, more than enough to supply all
demand for some time. The millers are
satisfied that there must be decline in
wheat pretty soon. At all events they
will not purchase until the price falls or
there is a margin on -four.

One reads Bob Toombs' death to the
Union" with much the feelings OF the
Irishmsn for the red-headed wood -peck-
er, which had hammered his head
against a tree until it seemed all bloody
red with gore. 1t don't hurt anybody
else, and if it amuses him, all right.
There is one reflection, however, which
might induce even Mr.. Toombs to be
quiet-naY there are two. One is that
he can never astonish anybody again.
and the other that it does not require the
slightest courage for one man to strike
a heroic attitude and defy a crowd. The
crowd can always afford good natured
laugh at one man who haG worked him
self up into heroic passion. II there
were more of Mr. Toombs there might
be danger enough OF serious results to
make it require some courage to get in
to passion. AS it is, it is a cyclone in
a teaspoon.

The Telford Manufacturing Company.
for agricultural implements, had a seri-
Gus eruption of discOrdant elements last
week, says the ILScutum Record, result
ing in the election of two Boards. This
institution has been regarded as the
pioneer of a new life and higher pros
perity for East Tennessee and any ser
iOus dimage to its prosperity, by dissen-
sion or otherwise must have a disastrous
effect on the public spirit and enterprise
of all East Tennessee. The opposing
parties are composed Of conscientious,
honorable and reasonable men and we
trust that a favorable solution may be
found for all the difficulties in the case.
So that the public confidence in such
enterprises may not be weakened by the
failure of fOndly cherished hopes.
