TnE mail facilities between here

good as none at all. The postoffice

passes its destination, goes on to
Boise City, lays over one night, then
takes the back track next morning
and gets to the Mountain, and the
mail for Idaho City goes off twelve
miles il lie wrong direction, stops
over night at the capital. the next
morning returns to the starting point,

City and finds its way here after two
days wandering. Some may be Curl

when it is known that the latter place
is not five steps from the ROAD, and
nearly equidistant from the two points
of daily communication. But Mr..
Post, postmaster at Boise City, solves
the mystery by saying there is only

Harper's Weekly says, with truth and

Harper's Weekly says, with truth and
force, that ''the object of national nom.
mating convention is to ascertain and
compare the views of the entire Repub-
lican party of the United States: actirg g
both as citizens of a state through the
delegates at large and as citizens of dis
trictS through the district delegates" ="
and consequently instructions and unit
rules are gross abuse of the majority
principle and disastrous wrong to the
party. There can he no question that
this is the true principle to direct both
parties. 1t is enough that the state at
large, expressing itself through the party
convention, should elect and, if it deems
wise, instruct the delegates at large, but
the district delegates represent their re.
spective districts they are responsible
to and should take orders from no Other
constituencies. 1t is a good thing
for all the Democrats of state
to think one way and their delegation
has more strength when it votes solidly
all one way, but when their different ell
ements think and feel differently, it il
right that each should be heard. FO
such reasons we opposed the unit rul'
when it was, by a fraud, imposed upOl
the state convention held in Lancaste
four years ago, and for the same reason
we are opposed to it again.

IT is a touching and graphic story OF
the famine in Ireland which Mr.. Hep
worth tells to thepublic through the Her.
aid to-day. But if what writer in the
Penn Monthly says about the game laws
of Scotland is correct, it would not he a
wonder if the Scottish peasantry would
sooner or later be reduced to a similar
condition of destitution. Thousands of
square acres of land in the Highlands,
which might be feeding sheep and cattle
and yielding excellent crops, are laid out
as deer forests and hunting grounds.
The lands are held by the tenants, sub
ject to the right of the owners to hunt
on them, the occupants being forbid
den to disturb or kill the game no
matter how destructive it becomes
to their growing crops. Old paths
across the noors, leading to fisheries and
reducing long distances, are shut up lest
the passers-by may disturb an occasional
roe or hare; incoming tenants purchase
valuable crops, to have them utterly de-
stroycd OF greatly impaired by foes
against which their leases allow them no
protection, and general waste of values
and uncertainty Of profit ensue which
make the Scotch renters lot most pre-
carious one.

Views.

Secretary Schurz Asks q Subordinate for his
Views.
As an indication of the interest felt by
members of the administration in the presi-
dental question, the following amusing
incident occurred in an interview between
Secretary Schurz and prominent official
of the interior department., whose field OF
duty is in the West, and who is known to
be pronounced Grant man. After a
long discussion, involving various points
connected with the business of the depart
ment, the secretary frightened up and
said: "By-the-by, what are your views
on the presidential outlook ?''
The reply was 90 beg your pardon, Mr..
Secretary, but have none."
But" said the secretary, "you certain
ly have preference among the prospec-
tive candidates %
The official hitched his chair somewhat
impatiently and answered, "No sir:
have none. Under the civil service rules
of the president and the peculiar regula-
ton of this department., am supposed to
have no politics at all"
The interview terminated, and Mr. Schurz
unused for some minutes on the eccentric
workings of civil service reform.

An Irish Sam Patch,

In Louisville, on Sunday, Thos. Boyle,
an Irishman, accomplished the feat of
jumping from the bridge which spans the
Ohio into the falls below-a distance of 100
feet. About three Sundays ago he jumped
off in the presence of a few friends, and
when he claimed to have performed the
feat the public were 10th to believe him.
So about two weeks ago he announced his
intention of making the leap, and was on
hand at the appointed time, as was large
crowd, but the authorities objected and
the police interfered. So on Sunday he did
it without announcement. There were
nine feet and eight inches of water where
he jumped. Although young in years he is
an old diver, and has jumped off a number
of bridges in this country, among which
are the Guyindotte, near Huntingdon,
West Virginia, and bridge at Decatur,
Alabama.

TOBACCO.
Its Culture IN the North.

Cutur0 In tuo NOFth.
Pennsylvania has entered so largely and
so successfully into the cultivation of to-
baccO as a permanent crop, that the city of
Lancaster is really becoming an important
tobacco market. Since the ruin wrought
by the civil war, the Southern tobacco
crops have not recuperated as rapidly as
other branches of Southern agriculture. The
case is perhaps better in Kentucky than in
Virginia, for Louisville is considered the
leading tobacco market. Richmond, how
ever, has regained large proportion of her
former importance in the tobacco trade, al
though unable to give the planters the
aid Of capital as of old. The true centre
of tobacco culture will probably be found
in the Gulf states, wherea superior quality
will hereafter be produced that may rival
the flavor of the Cuban article. At the
present time the aim OF the American cul
ture appears to be quantity instead of
quality. The result of the census this year
will enable us to judge better as to the
distribution and prospects of this crop, so
that we may judge of the progress We are
making toward the former position as the
great leading exporter of tobacco
The above from the Germantown 7ele-
graphs agricultural department hardly
shows such an appreciation of the to-
bacco interest in Pennsylvania, and espe-
cially in Lancaster county, as would have
been expected from such a high authority
on subjects relating to agriculture as the
Telegraph has rightly become. Really
Lancaster county hardly comes into COM
petition with Richmond and Louisville in
the cigar leaf business The trade there
is principally in tobacco used fOl
chewing, and though wrappers are quoted
there, seed leaf tobacco is very incOn-
! siderable portion of the Southern and
Southwestern trade. Even before the wal
the cigar manufacturers depended rather
on Connecticut and Cuba than on 1.-THE
Southern tobacco crops, " and now that
Lancaster county has superseded all others,
this is not only ''really becoming a
market for tobacco, but in quality rs well
as quantity the tobacco crop of Lancaster
county is one of the great material in.
terests of the country. The capital in,
vested here in warehouses, &C., and the
presence here of the agents and principals
of nearly all the greatest tobacco firms in
the country fully attest this, and it is
doubtful if We will ever find competitor
in the Gulf states.
