A writer in the Cincinnati Com
naercial has been touching off the
good points Of the common skunk.
Barring the smell and tendency to
turn to poultry for a dessert the
skunk is shown to be valuable aid
to the farmer. He is pre-eminently
insectivorous. He devours even the
Colorado potato bug, decena S,aeota,
and finds rich morsel in the straw
berry grub, lachonestra. He makes
hearty meals on the cutworms and
gorges himself with white grubs, the
larve OF the May beetle, which he
roots after in the loose sod or de-
caying hay or straw about stock
yards. He plows through the lit
ter and leaves gathering in the hooks
and corners of fields, which are the
coverts and breeding places of the
myriads of chinch bugs, and reaches
millions of enemies in secluded places
which man could not reach.

Dim Postmarks.
From the New Orleans Times.

From the New Orleans Times.
If the average postmaster will bend.
his ear hitherward and graciously
permit the shadow thereof to fit
darby across the Gulf and rest,
briefly, on the shores of Yucatan, we
will endeavor to howl little howl
which may possibly penetrate the ear.
We reproach him not with extrac-
ton from an illegitimate Chief Mag
istrate; we hurl no opprobrium at
him as Alinion OF Power; we in
dulge ourselves in no green and yell
low melancholy about the munificence
of his salary we would not have
him pilloried on a sand bar. Never
theless we would blow him up-as
follows: He has stamp, which the
government will renew. when it is
worn out. He has ink which the
government furnishes in sufficient
quantity. He has, or at least ought
to have, enough muscle to whack
that stamp down sharply on each let
ter. But he don't whack sharply
or he don't ink the thing often
enough; probably he fails in both
these essentials. Hence the indis-
tinct postmark ON nineteen-twentieths
OF the letters passing through the
mail bags of our Uncle Samuel. We
advised Uncle Samuel that this thing
is not right. Uncle Samuel advised
us, after little confidential informa-
ton, that it is not right. His idle
conundrum is: How can the trip
hammer smash without plenty OF
steam to lit it How can | hire
tirst-class muscle and ability for
So year ?" We admit some plaus
Utility in these queries, buu they will
not serve entirely. Postmasters may,
sometimes. lack muscle, but they sell
dom lack flesh. Why can't they fix
up some kind OF seat over the stamper
and sit down OH it? Possibly the
difficulty about that will be that the
postmasters will be willing enough
TO sit down OH the seat. but will OBJ
ject to getting up, except at dinner
time-and so, OH that theory, Uncle
Samuel would only get one letter
per diem stamped at each of such
post offices. But that might be
remedied in this way: Take long
plank; leS two men hold it up; let
the postmaster arrange the letters
under the plank let the postmaster
sit on the plank; let the two men let
go. The letters will be stamped.
The postmaster may be busted but it
will be easy enough to get new
postmaster every day. Should the
government not approve this propo.
sition, We will advance others. We
will never quit until letters are post
mark so distinctly that the mark will
be legible. The government and the
postmasters are tough but we think
they can be reached by some means.

Florida is an illustration Of what
can be done 10 aid the prosperity of
a State where a systematic effort is
made for that purpose. Soon after
the close of the war special effort
was made to advertise the advan-
tages of soil, climate and products OF
that State, and the result is an in
crease of 60 per cent. in the popula.
ton in ten years. There is no State
or locality in the Union but what
has some interest or advantage for
some purpose, and carefully pre-
pared description Of such advantages

THE Austrian Court is the most pious one in

THE Austrian Court is the most pious one in
Europe. On Holy Thursday the Emperor
aud Empress, in the presence of their whole
Court, of the Privy Counsel, the Diplomatic
Corps aud the superior officers of the Vienna
garrison, washed the feet of twenty four poor
old men aud women, having previously served
these venerable paupcrs with plentiful meal,
placing the several dishes before their humble
guests with their own hands. After tho old
people had partaken of the good things pro-
vided for them by the Imperial bounty, the
tables were cleared by Imperial Arclldukes
and Ladies of Honor. The feast consisted of
four courses, conveyed into the banqueting
hall by noble yeomen and patriciau pages,
under tho direction of Knsky, the High-Cook
Marshal. At its conclusion the iect.washing
ceremony took place, a Court Chaplain read
ing aloud from Holy Writ during the perfor
nance of this ancient rite. Subsequently a
purse containing thirty pieces of silver was
presented hy tho Emperor to each Of the old
men, and by the Empress to each of the ven
erable danes, one of whom had all but attained
her hundrcdth year, while the youngest OF the
twelve was hearty octogenarian.

AN early betrothal is chronicled by the
Elmira Free Press. Two young couples were
married within II few months of each other,
and from families that had.been very intimate.
In January last Il boy was born to one of them,
and he was welcomed as heartily as If he had
been u prince Of a regning house. Last mont tn
girl appeared to the other young couple.
Ono evening last week the mother of the boy
visited the mother Of the girl, taking her
child with her. Most of the members of both
families were also present. The mother of
the bO Y took rather diminutive but costly
ring from a.case, and, placing it ON the finger
of tho girl scarcely month old. solemnly
engaged her son to the child, the matter to
be ratified in the future.
