CONCERNING THE POSTAL RAILWAY
MAIL SERVICE OF CALIFORNIA

EDS. RECORD UNION read, with good
deal OF interest, an article entitled Postal
Defects" in your paper of January Sth and
while | agree,with you that the postal cars
upon the railroads running through this por-
ton of our State are entirely inadequate to
the service to be performed, and while your
point made against the incompetency of the
service in California is undoubtedly correct,
in your subscribers not always receiving their
papers may not rest wholly upon the mad
equacy of the means OF the postal division.
Having been connected with department
at Washington for many years | had more
or less intercourse with the Postoffice Depart
ment, and it came to my knowledge years
before came here to live that the postal au-
thorities did not give that Importance to the
growing demands of California that they
should. And it seems TO me that the present
time, when the whole country is aghast at
the throwing away of millions Of dollars on
the buckboards Of the Territories and the
parsimonious Withholding of few tens OF
thousands to the railway mail service of our
great and growing State, is the proper time
to call the Postofice Department to account.
Every now and then the country is startled
by developments of the general recklessness
and extravaganza of the administration of
what is known as the "Star Mail Service
of the Postoffice Departments sort of
postal ambush, from behind which prodiSious
assaults are cunningly made upon the Treas
ury These unprincipled raids have been
made during successive administrations, a.
though, as the facts elected by General
Brady, Second Assistant Postnaster-General
show, there has been no scandal III the man
agement of the "Star Service" OF the mag
nitude of the one now under ingesti CATION.
1t may be IS well to state that the system for
the transportation of mails is divided into
three parts Railroad" Steamboat and
Celebrity, Certainty and Security" Tor
Star Service" as the latter is generally
called.) This "Star Service" means all
kinds Of mail carriage other than by steamer
and rail : and enough has been developed,
through an unwilling witness, to show that
the late raids upon toe United States Treas
ury through the medium OF the ''Star Ser
vice are both fragrant and gigantic in char
acter. Indeed it would seem by the adinis-
sion of tine Second Assistant Postmaster
General, who must be. necessarily, party
to these seeming abuses, that great care
is taken to protect the interests OF the
contractors and their shortcomings, and other
questionable operations, at the expense of the
public treasury. For instance. contractor
Walsh, whose contract was raised FROM $751;
Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1880-02-21
600 to over s1ss oOo was really naid money

goo to over S136, 600, was really paid money
for performing service on one route as sub
contractor, when it was known to the De-
partment that he had failed on s, veral orb
ers, aad for sach failures vas indebied to the
Government IN sum equal to the amount
paid him on the one route which he served
according to the terms of his contract. Here
is another case: On certain route, let at
$4,000, the bond was SIS, 0G0; Walsh became
sub-contractor, got the pay increased to
$4,000, yet managed to have no change in
the bond. A contractor took mail contract
III 1878 for So $50. and, through systematic
nursing, raised it to S150000 Patrick Brown
accepted contract for Sill 767 Per annum,
and in short time worked it up to SS9 1853
This is a sample of the ''Star Service "
methods /; and on ten routes Assistant Post
uIaster-General Brady has allowed additional
compensation to an amount exceeding S621,-
COO per annum, or nearly 81, 100000 in all.
What makes the continued existence of
such prodigious official abuses in the depart
ment for the trans portation OF the mails more
monstrous and unseemly, lies in the fact that
the Postofice Department, while engaged in
nursing contracts to the effect that few
owners and managers of buckboards, and
other doubtful appliances of mail carriage.
may appropriate hundreds of thousands OF
collars, and even Millions it at the same time
carries out its relations with the great rail-
road and steamboat routes Of the country, to
the farthest degree, in an u just, uuw,s9, Mig
gardly and parsimonious manner-ipdeed,
while the Department loses no opportunity in
spending many hundreds If thousands of
dollars upon score or more of miserable stage
lines, it deliberately quawels with the great
railways over a few tens of thousands claimed
for greatly increa ed service not only author
lied, but demanded-the PHILADELPHIA, VII
mington and Baltimore, the Baltimore and
Ohio, New York Central and Lake Shore
and other leading Eastern roads, NAV be par
ticularly mentioned. And, if the Eastern
railways are great sufferers, as is shown
by this Star Service method, what NAV
be said of the railroads upon the
Pacific coast, or, TO bring the matter nearer
home, the railroads of California? There
are at present q railroads, or, more properly, |
railroad routes, carrying mails for the De
partment. An examination of the annual
amounts received by these y railroads; dis
lance run by each pay per nile per aAnpm
on each. and a few comparisons with the
mileage and pay of blackboard contractors,
and some comparisons regarding " celebrity,
certainty and security" even if it do not
move the Department to provide for the more
adequate payment for railroad service upon
the Pacific coast and put TO blush the mauiP-
ulators of the Star Service frauds, will GER
tainly prove to have been interesting reading

article from castaway and apparently use
less material. always feel under debt
of gratitude to the friend who instructed
me in the art of knitting rugs, and wish to
impart the information to those of my sis
ters whose inclinations may Iun in the
same channels as my own. Gather from
the old clothes closets all the worsted gar
ments that can no longer be utilized as
wearing apparel, cut the seams off, and re-
move grease spots. Cut in strips varying
in width according to thickness OF the
material; heavy cloth from pantaloons
should never be over one-quarter OF
an inch, while cashmeres and goods
of that kind may be full
inch or even somewhat over, If thin. Scar
let. bright clear blue and grays are neces-
sary for enlNening, while black, dark blue
and all other dark colors form the basis of
the work. Cross the strips about an inch,
sew with strong black linen thread, and
have the ends securely fastened Sew about
three yards of the darkest colors, then
strip of the brighter shade; the scarlet
should not occur more than once in about
nine yards, and must be short, say from
four to ten inches in length. Wind in
balls as for rag-carpet. The needles used
are of hard wood, one-half an inch in diam
eter and eighteen in length. Alter making
several rugs find the following directions
produce the most pleasing effect Set
ferty-four stitches, knit five rows of very
dark color only, then two rows of
moroon, eleven of fresh clear scarlet,
two rows of moroon, one of black,
after that the miscellaneous assortment,
taking care that no scarlet occurs very near
the solid border. Be particular in putting
in the second border that it starts upon the
same side with the other. Always knit
even and loose enough to have the work
easy upon the needles finish off with the
dark color, as at the beginning. Sew Sc
curely to old Brussels carpet or other firm
material Then take cloth, that Of panta-
looms is better than other, cut in half-inch
strips ten inches in length, double and knot
through every stitch at the ends for fringe.
A rug TO be placed before bed needs to be
two yards in length. These rugs are really
handsome upon mating ON inlaid or a
painted floor. The knitting becomes heavy
work as the rug progresses in length,
but can be done at odd moments, and Will
fully repay the effort expended. T. c., IN

It viii be seen that the mileage of these y
railways is 2,62S 51-1O0 miles, at an annual
compensation Of 1855, sol 45-10O-or an aver
age of a little more than S128 per mile per
annum. Among these roads is the Central
Pacific trunk line, which [ select as the first
in length, first in Importance and first in re-
liability. This road is about SS4 miles in
length, and receives $500 so per mile per
annum, and furnishes as complete accommo-
dation and means of service as any railroad
in the United States. On the other hand,

or buclz-boards, makes four trips week-331

Some Hints on Cooking.

Pot-au-feu requires four pounds OF beef,
six quarts of water, eight ounces of carrot
eight ounces of turnip, same quantity of
onions, and three ounces OF celery and
cloves. After once or twice making this
soup, the cook will be able to judge by the
size of the vegetables the required quantity,
but weighing is advisable at first, as much
depends on perfect proportion. The meat
must slowly simmer for three hours, then
add the vegetables, not before; simmer
till done. The pot in which the bouillon
is made should have very closely-itting
lid Quick boiling and careless STUNNING
are the cause OF cloudy boillon surprising,
as matter Of course, that all the veget-
ables have been perfectly cleansed.
While on the subject of soups, here is an
excellent receipt for white soup, not well
known and very delicious. To make celery
cream soup: Boil a small cup Of rice in
three pints of milk, until it will pass
through a sieve. Crate the white part of
two heads OF celery three if small) on
bread crater; add this to the rice milk
after it has been strained !: put to it one
quart of strong white stock let it boil un-
til the celery is perfectly tender season
with salt and CAYENNE, and serve; if cream
is obtainable, substitute one pint OF it for
the same quantity of milk. 1t often hap.
pens that soup intended TO be brown is not
sufficiently so to be inviting without col
orlng. Caramel is generally used for
this purpose but onions cut in slices
and left in moderate oven until they are
black chips mot charred, however, may be
kept bottled for the purpose. They are
preferable TO burnt sugar, as small guam
tty added TO a stew or soup improves the
flavor OF, they may be fried each time On
their own juice without greasel and added
with other vegetables. For white stock,
use veal or fowls instead OF beef. Many
chagrined woman knows what it is to at
tempt ragout from receipt, and to iail
signally; to see the rich creamy fricassee
her fancy painted resolve itself INTO an IN
sipid mess Of broth and curdled eggs. The
ideal brown ragout turns out an unsavory
brown fact. In making brown stews,
it is advisable to put the meat and
onions IN stew-pan without water,
cover closely, let them simmer until
they are b-own and the pan is covered
with rich giaze-be careful not to burn
then ada a taiie water and any other veg
etables your receipt may direct. just
before serving, skim off carefully all fat
then add a small piece of butter rolled IL
-four, aud let 1t all simmer again In few
minutes. The above method Will make
tough piece OF meat tender, and II des-
sert-spoonful OF vinegar or lemon juice Is
put in with the meat and onions, the
sourness disappears before the meat Is
done, leaving only the scarcely pereeptible
dash of acidity, which is the characteristic
OF most French Dishes Scribner.
