STAR ROUTES
OF the Monticello Mail Combination in
Georgia.

The glory of tile government is the
Monticello Mail Combination. l say
combination, for it is composed of
three parts, each dependent on the
other and all necessary. First, there
is Bosphorus, the mule, who has
been in the business for years and
knows the route better than any liv-
ing man. Bos. is a curiosity he is
estimated to be thirty odd years of
age and his skin, when he trots, looks
like a Blanket spread over a man hav-
ing a fit. But the mule has genius
nevertheless. It is said that frequent
ly last year, when the carrier had
then grown somewhat old and thick
headed and would fix his eye on
Orion or Mars and pull the old mule
round toward where, though Month
cello lay and slacken the reins.
Bos., relying on memory, would re-
turn to the proper road and jog along
quietly home. Latterly, it has been
necessary to shove him out of Mon
ticello to land him safe in Macon or
vice versd.
The second and next important
part of the combination is the con-
veyance, an antique two wheeled
sulky that wabbles along with the
mail bag slung upon the axle. The
sulkv has a heartless and discouraged
appearance and careens frightfully.
A friend of the carrier lately made q
calculation to show that for every
mile it travelled straight ahead, the
occupant travelled two side ways
and now they have framed a petition
to increase his pay, on the ground
that his route has been trebled III
length.
The third portion is the driver. 1t
is a matter of surprise to some, that
the government does not issue the
commission to the mule, furnish him
with a calendar and list of legal holt
days and do away with the driver.
1 have been reliably informed, how
ever, that a driver is indispensable.
In the first place the mule needs COM
pany. Just think of making q beast
travel eighty miles a week with no.
body to commune with, no n to
share his hopes and fears. Even a
great and powerful government would
not thus impose upon a helpless
beast. And then the mule needs a
driver and he needs assistance. There
are hills along the route where the
driver has to alight, shoulder the U.
S. mail and sulky cushion, and, hav-
ing scraped the mud from the wheels,
shove Bosphorus. sulkv and all,
over the crest. His assistance is
also necessary on the down grade,
for Bos. has but one way of going
dowr aill !; it is always q race for life,
when that sulky begins to crowd him
and we're not the driver aboard to
throw out his block of wood and rope
attached to a sort of drag anchor,
the U. S. Mail would run Off with
dozen times a day. l
trust, therefore, the driver will not
be dispensed with. There is such a
Thing as running even political econo-
my in the ground.--Exchange.

The Dismal SMamn.

A Virginia paper tells some
things which are not generally
known about the Dismal Swamp.
1t is not vast bog sunk low in
the ground into which the drain
age of the surrounding country
flows. On the contrary, it is above
the level ground some Is or 20
feet, as was demonstrated by ac-
tual surveys. Instead of being
receptacle into which rivers and
streams enter and flow, it is, in re-
ality, an immense reservoir that,
in its sponge like bulk, gathers the
waters that fall from the heavens
and pours them into the five diff
ferent rivers which flow onward to
the sea. Any one would imagine
that the Dismal was q veritable
charnel house that spreads its
miasma throughout the country.
On the contrary, it is the bealthiost
place on the American continent.
The swamp is entirely of green
timber. There is absolutely no de-
composed wood one sees trees ly-
ing all around the forests and
swamps. The two principal woods
that grow in the place are juniper
and cypress, which never rot
They fall prone on the ground like
other trees, but instead of the
wood decaying, it turns into peat,
and lies indissoluble by air and
water for ages perfectly sound.
There is nothing in the swamp to
create miasma; no rising of the
tides and decomposition of rank
vegetables; no marshes exposed to
the burning rays of the sun. All
is fresh and sweet, and the air is
laden with as sweet odors as the
fragrant woods in May, when the
fragrance of the flowers mingles
with the pungent scent of the pine
and dogwood. In the ante bellum
days all planters were anxious to
hire their slaves to shingle makers
in the swamp on account of health
fulness. Mr.. Reddick, a well known
says he worked gang
Of so hands for 10 years in the
Dismal getting shingles, and in all

case of ague and fever. have
seen numerous affidavits of over
seers and agents who have lived in
the swamp their whole life time,
and they never knew a death
caused by miasma, or solitary in
stance of ague and fever. The air
Is pure and sweet, and the water,
tinged to faint wine hue by the
Juniper, is as potent a medicinal
drink as is to be found at the
famous watering places of the Vir-
yinia mountain spas. 1t is often
nsed by vessels going on foreign
cruise, on account of its healthful
and also because it keeps
fresh and clear for years. 1t is
