INTERESTING POsT.uFFICE FACTS.
Illinois the Second Important Postal
State In the Union.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
Under the post Office law, the salaries
of postmasters are fixed according to
the cash receipts of each Office. They
are divided into classes, each class hav.
ing certain fixed salary, variable &C
cording to receipts. Under the law all
post Offices the receipts of which en-
title the postmaster to 81 900 or over,
are called presidential pest Offices
that is, the president appoints the post
masters. When the salary is less than
81, 600, the postmasters are appointed
by the postmaster general.
The list fpresid post Offices in
each state reveals some curious facts.
Under the latest apportionment there
were q goood many additions, par
ticularly in the western states. The
business and intellectual growth of the
western states, as shown in the num-
Der of presidential post offices, is some.
thing enormous. For instance, Illinois
stands second on the list, having 1872
post Offices, the receipts of which are
so large as to make them presidential
post Offices Here is a list embracing
q large number of states:
The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1880-02-12

There is much in these figures that
is very suggestive. Nebraska, with but
one member of congress, has twenty-six
presidential post Offices, while Tennes-
see, with ten members of congress-,
has but seventeen presidential post
Offices! In Nebraska there are twenty
six presidential post offices to one con-
gresham, and in Tennessee there
were less than two. Colorado has one
member Of congress to twenty-one
presidential post offices, and North
Carolina has eight members of congress
to thirteen presidential post Offices. It
will be noted how vastly the northern
states overtop the southern states in
business and intellectual growth, as
shown in these figures, as post office
receipts are regarded as a pretty true
criterion of the business and intellectual
activity of respective localities.
Even in the past, eighteen months
there has been marked increase in
the number of presidential post Offices
in several of the states.

The Right Sort Of q Man.

You will find as rule that the men
who are favorites with men are the
best and truest in their relations to
women. Yes, the men who like some
times to turn their backs to all women
and 20 off with the other fellows" and
have good boyish time on the water,
or the mountain, or in some other
mans "den." Women need never be
afraid to trust their happiness to those
whom other good men esteem good fell
lows; but if man is avoided by men,
however much women admire him,
shun him. Its he who has firtations
that come to nothing, and has mot been
very nice" to the girls who have broken
their engagements with him; who,
when he marries, wrings his .wife's
heart ,ifshe has one, and spoiis her tenn
per ifshe is naturally an angel. Manly
men are the best lovers, the best hus.
bands, the best companions for women,
just as Womanly women are the best
sweethearts and wives. What do we
think of women who shun their own
sex, what ever charming men,may find
them? is seldom, if ever, that your
mems favorite illuses his wife. Per-
haps it may be explained in this way:
Friendship of sublimer sort is want
love becomes after q year or so of mar
riage, and he who is friendly to the very
depths OF his soul enters into this state
happily and is ready for all the delights
that follow. But man who is capable
of nothing but a feeting affection which
ever pursues new object, and cares,
for no woman when she is won, hates
the domestic ties and becomes detest-
able in consequence. It is the man
who would die for his friend, and for
whom his friend would die, who makes
miraculeusly happy wife of the wo-
man to whom he scarcely knew how to
make love when he courted her.

presidential post Office list ten, while
the Empire State swelled hers fourteen.

Of slow growth, gained four, while

himself in most loverlike fashion.
Large bouquets and baskets Of flowers
were anonymously sent to the house in
the dusk Of the evening, on receipt Of
which Mrs. De Young was observed to
blush deeply, and on scrutiny applied
to the proper poinf, viz, the key hole,
was seen to press the flowers convQl-
sively to her lips. Corded boxes with
delicate articles Of ladies' wear, lace,
and jewelry came directed in the same
hand as the letters, with references to
blissful hours spents in the society OF
his charmer, and illusions, not alto
gether complimentary to some obstacle
in the way of the writer's affections.
This was sufficient to put any landlady
on the watch. About this time Mrs.
Crane put on her bonnet and went
down to certain Wall street office,
and from thence took the stage to q
handsome house il Madison avenue.
Her detective abilities put her in pos

turned to her house triumphant. Mrs.
De Young's months rent was paid in

elapsed. The chance of reletting the

If Mrs. De. Young could be confronted
with the evidence that she Was receiving

for the next mornings letters in
