Why a Letter Does Not 60.

The Cincinnati Saturday Night pub.
fishes the following reasons why letter
don't go.
Because you forgot to address it.
Because you forgot to stamp it.
Because you forgot to write the town or
on the envelope.
Because you used a once cancelled stamp
Because you cut out an envelope stamp
ann pasted it on your lett r.
Because you used a foreign stamp.
Because you wrote the address on the
top of the envelope, and it was surely OBJ
liberated by the post Office dating, receiv-
ing canceIling stamps:
And besause you put your letter in a
blank envelope, and sealed it and forwar-
ded il to-the dead letter office, where
thousands upon thousands Of valuable let
ters are daily destroyed, because the peo-
pie are either careless or ignorant of the
postal laws
And to the above we would add few
reasons why an answer don't come:
Because 20 do not sign your name.
Because you sign i. so indistinctly that
it cannot be read.
Because you do not give name of post
office.
Because you do not give name of county.
Because you do not give name of State.
Because you write with pencil, which
10 rubbed off and illegible.
Because you use ink SO pale and dim it
cannot be read.
Because you write so poorly no one can
read it.
Because you do not enclose stamp to pre-.
pay postage On the answer.

MINOR NOTES.

Senator Lamar of Mississippi is recovering
rapidly, and expects soon to be able to return
to Washington.
The Navy Department has ordered the
! L. s. steamer Powhattan TO leave Norfolk
for Havana, to convey Gen. Grant to Mexico
A Washington correspondent alleges that
Mrs. Conkling is really heart broken because
her husband will not be reconciled to their
only daughter, who had the audscity to mar
ry an excellent but poor man because she
| loved him
The Republicans of the District of Column
bia, last week, after two days convention,
succeeded in electing two delegates and two
aternates to the Chicago convention. The
Grant and Blaine elements are equally repre-
scented.
The Democratic national committee will
meet in Washington, on the 23d inst, to de-
eide when and where to hold their next ma
tional convention.
The Chicago Times has raised its price
from Sl2 to SIG year, and from to cents
a copy, on account of the recent rise in the
price of white paper.
Secretary Schurz's views on the political
situation, as given by one of his friends, are
that he would not under any circumstances
support Grant, that he would not actively
support Blaine, although he might not OPP
pose him, and that he would enter into the
canvass heartily for Sherman or Washburne
Records show that the winter Just centu-
ry ago, was as remarkable for its severity as
the present one has been for its mildness.
Chesapeake Bay was frozen hard enough for
carriages at Annapolis, where it is five and
one-quarter miles wide, to pass over Long
Island Sound was entirely frozen over for
weeks, and sleds drawn by horses and cattle,
heavily loaded, crossed and re-crossed from
Connecticut to Long Island. The year was
also remarkable in having no rain from May
10 to August Z.
With q most singular unanimity the leading
papers in all parts of the country declare that
Secretary Cameron has sacrificed Gen. Grant
in order to win a victory for himself. The
expression is nearly as general to the effect
that the Grant movement has been ruined by
the indiscreet action of his so-called friends
in Pennsylvania.
The Mexican minister at Washington
doesn't do things by halves. He gave grand
ball, Monday evening, in building specially
erected for the purpose, and the ball room
represented tropical garden, with panoram-
ic paintings on the walls representing Mex
lean scenery, and life size paintings in panels
on the balcony illustrating different classes of
life in Mexico.
There are some disadvantages in owning
and wearing $500, 600 worth of diamonds af-
ter all. Mrs. John Jacob Astor of New York
has policeman on guard before the door of
her room at Wormley's hotel, Washington,
day and night and when she wore her dia-
mOnds TO the Mexican minister's ball, Mon
day evening, she was attended by two detec-
tives. Mrs. Astor's diamonds include two
wonderful solitaire earrings valued at 500
600 each and diamond chain consisting Of
900 stones valued at $1,000 each, while dia-
mond necklace and ornaments for the hair stud
ded with diamonds make up the remaining
$500, 600 in value.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1880-02-13

The New York Herald, Wednesday, offered a
splendid illustration Of the enterprise OF Amer
lean journalism. It printed q broadsde
statement, received by cable giving local re.
ports Of the distress in twenty. one out OF the
thirty-two counties Of Ireland. The mara
time counties of Connaught head the dire
full list Mayo, which, according to the cen
sus Of 1871 possesses population OF go.
$50 inhabitants, returns a terrible total OF
G., 800 now in distress. Thus already more
than one-fourth Of the inhabitants of this
sore-smitten county are destitute. The most
afflicted localities in Mayo are Charlestown
with 5000, Castlebar with 5000, and Kelasser
with $500 destitute persons Balinrobe,
parish in the southern section near the Gal
way border comes next. In this little dis
trct the sufferers number 2j00 persons. Even
that desperate total does not represent the
situation at its worst for the report states
that want is on the increase and that fever is
gaining ground. Attymas follows with 2000
necessitous persons. The agent in this par
ish writes that he is prisoner in his own
house, because he cannot bear to hear the
stories of the hundreds who surround it, and
whom he is powerless to relieve Confirma-
ton of the local reports printed by the Her
aid has just come to hand in letter written
from Castlerea by the special correspondent
of the London Times. This writer declares
that, in the wide tract of country about Bal
lyhanns, Clare Morris and Swineford in
Mayo, forming "a sort Of agricultural rock
cry" for ten and twenty miles together, the
restitution is so grievous as to be appalling
even to those who had experience Of the great
famine.
We cannot follow the New York Herald
step by step through its long report Of wide
spread misery. But the table which we give
below shows the spread of destitution and
the ratio Of the destitute to the population Of
the smitten counties:
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1880-02-13

Among the names talked of for delegates at
large from Vermont to the Republican Ma
tional Convention are those of Senator Ed
munds, Hon. John w. Stewart, Hon. Geo. w.
Hehdee, Hon. L. p. Cotton, b. +. Fifeld,
Esq, Hon Roswell Farnham, X Haskins,
Esq, of Brattleboro, Hon. N. p Simons of
Rutland, and Hon. Henry Ballard of this city.
Huntington Free Press
All these names are good ones. We desire
especially to cordially second the suggestion
of the name of Col IIaskins for one of the
delegates at large. Col. Haskins is a man of
stanch and unqualified republicanism he be-
lieves in Senator Edmunds, and would like
best of all TO see him nominated at Chicago :;
he is not anxious to see Gen. Grant nominal
ed, unless circumstances shall make his can
didacy imperative, and he realizes the inpor.
lance of sinking all personal and sectional
prejudice in an effort to unite on the best
and strongest man whom the country affords.
He could and would do the Vermont Repub.
licans good service at Chicago
