Our columns this morning contain an
interesting dispatch relative to the Cana
dian stolen mail bags. 1t will be noticed
that Post Office Inspector William H.
Bgelow of this city. was one of the gen.
tlemen employed by the government in
this very delicate business. which was so
well conducted upon their part. that it
was settled in the most amicable and sat
isfactory manner 10 both governments.
The Canadian government will rectify
the matter about using the mail bags Of
the United States, and a new international
mail arrangement has been effected which
will be of advantage to both governments

He speaks in high tones OF the courtesy
with which he was treated by the Canadi-

The reduction in the public debt for the
last fiscal year ending July was $lOl.-
100000. For last month. the first Of the
fiscal year. the proportion was more than
maintained. as the reduction was 3lO,-
o7s.ooo. Six per cents have appeared for
the last time in the debt statement. There
are sl7s.O55. 100 of 6 per cent bonds now
outstanding which have been continued at
3 - per cent. 1t WAS found that only
about sis, 500, 900 of the per cent bonds
in existence at the commencement Of Mr.
WINDOWS administration were submitted
for redemption, and these have been re-
deemed, Two more monthly statements
will include the 5 per cents. but after that
period no bonds bearing more than 4 1-2
per cent viii appear there. The decrease
in the debt less cash in the treasury WAS
during the month $lo,9ss. o2s 90. all of
which is due to the decrease in expendi-
lures. the revenue from Customs and mis-
cellaneous sources falling off some el.-
100000. while that from internal revenue
increased only sl,eO0.o0o. The new fis-
cal year makes a very gratifying CON-
mencement.

Guiteau Wants Bail.

WASHINGTON, August3. It's stated Guteau
handed petition to District Attorney Cork
hill, yesterday. praying to be released on
bail of SIS 900, as the President is now re-
garded out of danger.
The fact that Guiteau has placed in the
hands of the district attorney, petition re-
questing to be released on bail, is not con-
sidered Of much Importance in legal circles.
All requests to see the prisoner are still re-
fused, and guard continues to be main
tanned, which would appear to indicate that
the authorities apprehend there still is dan
ger Of an attempt being made to capture the
prisoner. Intimates have been made that
there are organizations in this city, Balti-
more and Philadelphia, whose members are
ready to take the law in their own hands if
they could get hold Of Guiteau.

A Remarkable Book.

One of the most remarkable issues
of the day is a book on FALSE COPS.
OR TIE IDoL WORSHIP OF THE WORLD, .
from the pen Of Frank ) Dobbins,
late of Japan and published by f!uB-
BARD Bios, of Philadelphia. This
book is beautiful volume OF nearly
eight-hundred pages, and it contains
two hundred and seventy-hve illustra-
tons which throw light upon every
phase of the subject. The rise and
growth of Idolatry is traced, with its
many changes and transformations,
peculiarities and resemblances, beau
ties and horrors. One is amazed as
he reads this book and discovers what
men do believe, and how they conduct
their so-called worship.
The style of the author is popular
and instructive. One reads on in the
work as in a romance. Indeed a full
treatment of this subject is SO new a
thing, that the book is a noUel, in the
best sense of the term. Strange be-
liefs. startling rites, weird ceremonies,
shocking barbarities, charming myths,
from Europe. Asia, Africa, Oceanica,
North and South America, from early
days and from later days, all these
blend in the attractive pages OF False
Gods"
Such d book must sell A view OF
it is all that will be needed to carry it
with purchasers.

RESIGNATION


have sad-and would not recall the words,
Though all my future remain unblest,
That the pathway Of thorns my feet have trod
Was for me OF all earthly way the best,
That the wrecks ofmy hopes that hayestrewn the shore
Like stranded ships by the storm-spent sea,
We're argosies richer with golden store
Than all of ear;h's treasures were to me.
Had my life been Of indoent ease
Had fortune before her baubles spread
And the empty world, as sought to please,
Had 1t placed its einptier crown on my head
And the smiles OF earth and the bending skies,
And the pleasure Of time that gladden. and cioy-
Had shared them all ia their fullness of sense,
And nothing of earth were there left to enjoy
Methinks should then have missed the prize,
By an infinite waste of barren years
The gem in the sop.'s deep mine that lies,
And is wrought into shape through toll and tears.
] meier should have found the hid den ore
or truth, whose marvellous golden goal,
Is only reached through the drifts of life
By the diamond drill of a chastened SOUL
The truth, that opens the shining way
OF trustful endurance for ever more
And the pathway ofduty is clearly lined
Thro the riffs in the clouds to the hither shore,
And thus have patiently fingered to bear
The burdens and pains oflife's unrest,
Thankful alike for the storm and the calm,
And hopefully trusting that all's for the best.

The Revised New Testament.

An American Edition of this long
looked for work is announced by the
enterprising and reliable house of
HUBBARD BROTHERS,, of Phila.
1t is to be an exact reproduction of the
English Edition, and from the well
known character of the house, accuracy
and a really excellent book may con-
fidently be expected. A special attrac.
ton of this edition we learn, is that it
will contain complete History of the
whole Revision Movement. the reason S
for it, the errors of the old version, its
progress, with sketches Of the dis
tinguished men engaged in it, &c
The English edition will not contain
this, and certainly every one will want
TO know all about it. AS the price of
this edition, containing both the Tesla
men. and History, is placed extreme
ly low, it seems certain TO become de
cidedly the most popular, because the
most desirable edition issued, at a posi-
lively low price.

JUsT stroll around to the back kitch-
en- doors on Monday, if you want to see
how pretty she is. There she stands,
queen Of the washtub, princess of the
clothes wringer. Watch her as she
plays a light pianissimo solo on the
washboard, ever and anon increasing
to crescendo, and occasionally bursting
out in a staccato movement that rips
the buttons off the wristbands. Her
hands are parboiled, her elbows dim
Piled, her face redolent with sudsy
steam. If she hastily wipes her hands
on her apron and scots out of sight,
bid her lasting good-by. But if she
rests with her hands on her hips and
bids you good morning" in a CHEEKY
tone-don't linger a great while. She
means to give you a dose of warm
water just as soon as you get near
enough. Call on her in the evening,
and if she can't play the piano as well
as she does the dashboard, never mind
Go ahead. Say your little say.
