TIL. Commission, to which was re-
f.rred the question Of express and mail
service, having reported to Postmaster
General Key in favor OF prohibiting b
carving Of letters by Wells. Fargo X
Cos express, the matter comes fully
before the people for discussion. This
Commission was created doubtless at the
instance Of the Government Postofnce
Department, and whatever Of private or
personal animus there may be in the
matter, 1t 10 something which vitality AZ
fects the interests Of the public ct large
business people. and in fact everybody
throughout the Pacific coast. The note
Of alarm II sounded and . flood OF psti-
lions signed by everybody who sees them
will Be sent on from all parts OF the
country protesting against any Govern
mspt interference with that express.
All the Pacific Coast Senators, Repre-
sents.ives and Delegates in Congress
have already joined in . formal protest
in the name Of their constituency against
any action on the part Of the Postofice
Department which shall prohibit the
carrying Of letters BY express, so long a.
they are in Government stamped snvsl-
opes, a. being against the public inter
est and q serious blow to the business
facilities Of our people.
The carriage OF postags-psid letters by
Wells. Fargo L Co. s express began with
the settlement Of California and Of the
Pacific coast thirty years ago. and
has continued ever since. 1t sprang
up from the necessity for pos
tai communication in distant and
sparsely settled localities, especially in
the mining sections. and ii has been
not only the means Of thus facilitating
communication with otherwise inaecsss-
ibls localities. but it supplied . great
want and assisted materially in opening
up and developing tho resources Of the
country. During the past few years the
Government postal service has been far
advanced in utility to what il was and
Its facilities have been extended until II
has superseded the express in . great
measure. Since 1870 the letter carriage
service Of the express has fallen OF
over one half and the mail service has
increased proportiouately yet the people
OF this section are not willing to be de-
privsd Of the express facilities a. long

with. The argument in favor OF the
prohibition does not contain q single
good point. and the whole idea is q gra.
tuitous absurdity. The government or
the Pos,ofice Department would do
much better to let well enough alone.

Ashes as a Fertilizer.

The residue that remains from the
consumption of vegetable substances by
fire is called the ash, and contains the
mineral elements that enter into their
structure, and very large percentage
of potash. This substance is one of the
principal fertilizing elements that enter
into the composition of all plants and
especially all farm crops. Decomposi-
ton of vegetable substance likewise
produces ash, but the process is very
much slower, being produced by natural
combustives instead of artificial. When,
therefore, it is considered that this has
been taken from the soil it is more clear
to see the Importance of returning as
much as possible to the soil again, and
vet, very much care is to be used in the
application of ashes in order to produce
the best results. Thus, since ashes
have a natural tendency to absorb moist
ure, they are considered much more
valuable when applied to soils inclined
to be sandy and dry. Ashes afford an
excellent dressing for manuring
lands, or pastures, where they are ap-
piled as top dressing. As an expert
ment to demonstrate their value, past
ure was selected, an exceedingly poor
tract of land, quite billy, and the hills
formed of coarse gravelly soil that was
productive of but little and poor grass.
An application of from $50 to 800 BUSH
els per acre was made, and the follow
ING July the hillsides were covered with
thick mat of grass and clover, very
much superior to the average of past
ures in this State, and we might well
say of some moving fields. While
farmers have been in the habit of using
some that they have themselves made,
they have not been particular enough
in saving all that they might. Every
family that burns wood in the kitchen
accumulates quite quantity of ashes
during the year, and their importance
in agriculture is such that they should
be carefully collected in order that they
may 90 to swell the amount of fertiliz-
ing material upon the farm, and little
trial will soon determine upon what
portions of the farm they may be applied
with reasonable assurance of good re-
suits. Utica Herald.

On the Causes OF Diphtheria.

1t is probable that we have always had
diphtheria among us, for it is now well
known that many cases of membranous
Group are really diphtheritic Group.
Both Group and diphtheria are more
common in the cold months. and expos
ure to cold or raw and wet weather
have much to do with their origin.
True Group arises generally from expos
ure to pure cold air, while diphtheria
and diptheritic Group. when they are
not propagated by infection or conta-
oion, usually are caused by contact with
impure and foul cold, raw air. Sewer
gas is one of the best known and most
common causes of diphtheria, but we
must not forget the large quantities of
gutter filth and street dirt which are
washed down into our sewers from our
very dirty streets by every rain storm.
If the exhalations from the sewers will
cause diphtheria, why may not those
from our foul and neglected streets and
cutters do the same? In my opinion,
formed by long and varied experience,
there is not the slightest doubt of it.
Again and again have | seen diphthe-
rite sore throat and true diphtherla oc-
curing in houses in which no fault IN
the plumbing could be discovered, al
though l am free TO admit that in other
cases gross defects have been found.
But more frequently have | seen diph-
theritic affections in children of we'll
TODD parents, who have been well and
sensibly clad, so that they could only
take cold through the air which they
breathed while outdoors in their daily
walks or play. The threats of young
children are more tender than those of
adults, and their lower stature brings
them much closer to the dirty cutters
and streets than the older persons who
tower above them. The streets and
cutters are equally dangerous when
they are filled with dry dirt, which is
bowed about with every wind, as when
they are covered with damp or wet filth
from which such foul odors arise after
slight rains followed by warm spells OF
weather. feel very confident if ply
sicians will think over these obscure
cases of diphtheria, for which they have
heretofore been unable to find any as
signable cause, they will not reject my
solution of the question lightly. But
whether this be so or not, no one can
deny that much street and gutter filth is
only too often washed down into the
sewers and adds to the quantity and
malignity of sewer gas. We may say.
in short, that diphtheria is often caused
by the impress of foul gases upon the
nose, throat and windpipe, whether
these come from the streets. cutters,
sewers or drains, and that ordinary ca
tarrhal diseases are converted into ma
lignant, putrid, typhoid. or diphtheritic
diseases if exposure to foul air be also
added PhySici;s'1, IN Ne1o York Sun.

GEMS OF THOUGHT.

The worst education that teaches
self-denial is better than the best that
teaches everything else and not that
Mr.. Ingerson never makes speech
against Christianity that he does not
bring in very pretty and touching al
fusion to "dimpled babies, and in
that connection to pure and sweet
womanhood, and loving fatherhood-
This touches sympathetic cord. But
put it in contrast with the scene and the
words when the object of his attack was
brought by simple and natural inci-
dent to the same subject. He took the
little ones in his arms and blessed them.
and said, "of such is the kingdom OF
Heaven" Nothing could be more
simple, tender and beautiful And yet
the words sent an Illuminating ray
which lighted up the whole labyrinth OF
morals, on the one hand. and revealed
the beauty of the heavenly world on the
other. AS for woman, she is degraded
slave, neither self-respecting nor re-
spected, except under the conquering
banners of Christ. All the moral excel
lencies and social charms beauty,
purity, grace-of the family are found
nowhere but under the culture of His
teachings, and under the dews of His
Spirit. Interior.
The way of religion is great deal
easier than the way of nature. The
way upward is great deal easier than
the way downward. At every step
gained the complication grows less, and
the impulse grows more. The heavens
become clear, and we see that the storm
lies low, and that all above is the bright
shining of Gods love. The religion OF
the New Testament is hopeful. 1t is
dark TO only one class of men-to those
who know what it is and what it de-
mands, and whose reason recognizes it
as being holy, Just and good, but who
deliberately say, 81 will have none of
it." They are on the same plane with
him who knows very we'll what fire Is,
but who saws, 81 do not care, | will
walk in the fire." So he can, and will
take the consequences. They are on
the same plane with the man who says.
81 know that drink fires the blood;
nevertheless l will drink" or with the
man who says, Il know that a sluggard
will find miserable old age; but like
to be lazy, and / will be sluggard."
So it is throughout the whole sphere OF
Gods law of moral conduct. God says
to every man that wants to learn. Il
will give you time, opportunity and en-
enlargement: and l will forgive all
your intirmities and transgressiOns so
long as your face is toward the Heavenly
land:" but if man SAYS, 81 do not
care for the Heavenly land" and does
not strive to rise toward it, but follows
his own devices, woe be to him.

Tom Hughes Opinion Of Sunday.

Before entering upon his lecture on
"Charles Kingsley" in Cincinnati, on
a recent Sunday, MIR. Thomas Hughes
said: ''IL Difference to the strongly
expressed wish of the Young Mems
Unity Club of this city, / am here to-day
to deliver this address on Sunday
afternoon. Before proceeding to my
immediate object, wish to make my
position here perfectly clear. In my
own country l have never taken part
in any such work as this. Without the
least wish to Judge, still less to censure,
others, many of whose views L ac-
knowledge have much to commend
them, L have never been able at home
to satisfy myself that | should not be
doing more harm than good by identi-
fyin9 myself with those who provide
general lectures for the people on Sun
day afternoons. | was trained as a
child to look upon Sunday as day
which should be devoted to rest and
to worship. Every year that has
passed over my head since childhood
has strengthened those early impress
sions. look upon Sunday as a quite
unspeakable blessing to all Christian
Nations, and above all to our race, upon
whom so large a share of the worlds
hard work has been laid in this marvel
Gus country, and who are addressing
themselves to it with an energy full of
hope and promise for the future, while
controlled by high purpose and high
principle, but constantly in danger of
running into feverish haste and reckless
and unrighteous greed of possession
an unmanly laundering after material
prosperity and wealth. Against this
false tendency--this subtle temptation
of us British folks on both sides of the
Atlantic Sunday, Gods appointed day
OF rest and worship, stands out as the
great bulwark and safeguard. No man
who has faith in God and true love
for his country would do an act or say
word which could endanger in the re-
hottest degree the reverence for or the
observance of that day. We have
to endeavor for ourselves and for
those who come after US to restore the
true ideal, and reassert resolutely, but
wisely and gently as we may, the true
relations between rest and worship.
which alone can restore God s appoint
ed day of rest to its full power, and
make it mighty again for the healing Of
the nations. To help on this good
work, then, as l understand it, L am
here today. / trust-indeed, take it
for granted-that the object of this so
cietv is at bottom the same as my own,
otherwise | am here under false pre-
lenses. We are not here professedly,
indeed, for an act of worship in the
common acceptance of the word. But
we are here to lift up our hearts for an
hour above their ordinary surroundings;
and at any rate to commune If we can
with one of the bravest and noblest
spirits who have been working amongst
us for the good of man and the glory OF
God in this generation. " = Methodist

A Colored Mans Profitable Duck Pond.

Several Galveston gentlemen started
last Sunday morning early for the pur-
pose of desecrating that day. They
carried guns and TASKS with them for
that purpose. The TASKS were not as
dry inside as powder-horn. They were
not that kind of TASKS. Finally they
saw ducks and proceeded to organize
campaign plan. They crawled up on
the ducks on their stomachs-that is,
on their own (the hunters') stomachs-
and, blazing away, killed two ducks.
The Sunday hunters secured their prey
and proceeded to the cabin of an old
darkey hard by, for the hunters were
hungry. They told him they would
shower down wealth upon him if he
would cook their wild ducks for break
fast. The old darkey turned those wild
ducks over and exclaimed: Dem ar is
my tame ducks and Gey is wutf fifty
cents piece. Dey is so tame dey runs
after me wheneber goes down to the
pond" Then the hunters looked at
each other and said: Don't let us tell
anybody about it" and they paid over
one silver dollar to the old African for
his pet ducks, which he did cook for
them. But the best of the joke is the
old darkey lied, for the ducks were
really wild ducks, after all, but the
Galveston sportsmen did not know the
difference. The old darkey makes as
much as ten dollars a Sunday by going
ont and claiming all the wild ducks that
are shot as his tame ducks. In every
instance the huntsman hands over the
money! Galveston Ne1CS.
