CUTTING DOWN THESTAR SERVICE
The following is the text of the order issued
by the Postmaster General, cutting down the
mail service on sar routes:
ITO The Second Ass slant Pcsimaster-G Cen
earl:
That there may be 10 deficiency created
o maintain star service for the fiscal year,
direct that on and after March lst, prox.,
service on all star routes bs reduced to one
"trip per week, a lowing one months extra
pay, as provided By Law, on the service dis-
penscd with. also direct that the service
placed on new routes since, and including
July Let, 1879, be discontinued. II the fore
going reduction is not sufficient for the pu.-
pose indicated, ia the rapid growth of pop
Iulation and business Of the terri, ories and in
new states, the restoration and improvement
OF the service in southern states, demand the
exiting service and in many instances ad-
diiional service or recently es,atli.hed routes
I also believe the public service will suffer
by the reduction, but the law requires that l
shall not exceed the appropriation. and
am determined to conform to the Law

as the thought passed Through his mind
his foot caught under gnarled.root that
extended across the way, and .he fell
heavily forward, his head strusk the
frozen ground, and he lay senseless.
When Peter recovered consciousness he
found himself hanging over the Broad
shoulders of his brother John, and about
to enter his own door. Here he soeh
collected his scattered senses, and waa
able to listen intelligently to his broth
er's account.of his rescue.
Uncle Tom Barry, in his flight, had
stopped at the cabin long enough to shout
through the window that the wolves were
out. and then hurried on. John, who
lived with bis brother, knowing that
Peter must come the same path, took his
gun and walked out to. the edge of the
forest, where he halted to listen. But a
short time elapsed before he heard the
sound of the pursued and pursuers, and,
rushing down the hill, he arrived upon
the scene just in time to leap between
Peters prostrate form and the wolves,
the foremost of which was less than ten
feet distant. Taking steady aim, he sent
bullet into the creatures brain, and
then, while the pack were fighting over
the dead body Of their comrade, he slung
Peter over his back, and gained the open
ground in safety.
Peter frankly told the whole truth
about the affair from beginning to end,
and concluded the story with the EN-.
phatic assertion that as long as he lived
he would never be guilty of another
practical joke, a VOW which he faithfully
kept.

CAPT. GIBBS, BIG waALE..
His Ship is. Obliged to Back water
to Let the Yohster Pass In Front
of Her. =

. New York Sun.l
The steamship Isaac Bell, of the Old
Dominion Line, arrived in this port yes
terday from Norfolk, and reported that
on the way she had been obliged to back
water on account of huge whale that
lay directly across the ships bows. Capt.
Gibbs gave the following version of the
incident: "On the morning of the 18th
inst. took the wheel. The steamer was
then scudding along at the rate Of AbOut
eleven knots an hour against the hesth-
east wind. This course was kept until
about 9 a. M, when we were fifteen miles
from Fenwick.s Island, off the Delaware
Coast. '''',
Suddenly, about 100 yards offthe port
bow, / saw the spout of a whale. The
stream of water elected was larger and
projected to greater height than ! had
ever seen before, and ! became 20 inter-
ested in it that I did not perceive our
close proximity to the monster until its
huge bulk lay across our bows. Then. !
saw there was at least forty feet Of its
back exposed above the surface. This
exposed surface l quickly calculated
would give me a whale of about seventy
five or eighty feet in length and Of un-
known diameter. | Immediately rang
the bell to back water, for l did not think
that a wooden keel could successfully
collide with monster whale. The en-
gines obeyed the signal, and the keel of
the ship was stopped within four feet of
the back of the whale. He lazily foated
out of the way, and then we steamed
ahead. The last l saw of the whale was
a magnificent squirt of sea feam.",

As to Lord Chelmsford's staff, its in
adequacy was fagrant. He commanded
what was virtually AN army

tachments, and therefore demand
ing the services of an exceptionally eff
cient staff. Modern warfare has made
apparent the inestimable value, to a
General in command, Of good chief Of
the staff. But Lord Chelmsford would
have no chief Of the staff He had, in.
deed, Military Secretary, a man Of
proved capacity-in originating, stimu
lating, and perpetuating friction. His
Adiutant General was respectable, and
it may have facilitated the dispatch o1
business that throughout the campaign
he and the Military Secretary were moi
on speaking terms. Until the eve o.
the invasion, Lord Chelmsford hao
no functionary discharging the du
ties Of Quartermaster General, and
when at length an able officer was
nominated ad interim to that appoint
ment, he had no adequate or stated as
sistance, and had to content himself witt
such casual service as was rendered b,
the poor lad who fell at the Ityotos
River and the man who left him to hi
fate. His intelligence officer was MAI
who palpably, and, indeed, confessedly
knew nothing of the region through
which lay the line of invasion. 1t wa
not until day or two before the marcl

Chelmsford thought proper to brigad

nothing inconsruous in leaving later ont

indeed, Lord Chelmsford not only wa

An Experience in n Blizzard.

Last Wednesday night was night of
terror. Henry Spencer and wife, living
about three and one-half miles north Of
Fisher, started from Henry Cantfeld's to
90 home on that evening before dark, but
the storm had gotfAirly under way, and,
although the distance was less than two
miles, the wind and storm driving in
their faces caused them to lose their way.
They wandered around over the prairie
until some time after dark, when they
found it was no use to try longer; 50 they
concluded to camp out for the night.
Mr.. Spencer took everything in the shape
of wrappings, including large buffalo
overcoat, and wrapped his wife up. and,
digging away the snow, tucked her up as
snug as possible, and covered her with
snow, to which the storm added con-
stantly.
He then kept up walk between his
wife's bed and the place where the hors.
es stood, and in that way passed the night
At daylight they found they were with.

Spencer was somewhat sore from being
cramped up in such a small space. BY
retracing their tracks, they found they
had been within few rods of their OWL
house without knowing it.

MoRENcI, MICH, March 17.-In this
immediate vicinity the wheat crop is
looking well, although the winter which
has been very open has not been very
favorable for that crop, but as it gained
a remarkable growth last fall it is hoped
that it will come out all right. In some
localities the growing clover has been
thrown out by the freezing and thawing,
but just hereabouts no apprehension is
felt, as the crop will be good one. The
winter has been singular one. The
fruit is all right yet. t
