The Postofice department is reported to be considering the propriety of recommend ing new law authorizing the of five cent stamp, to be called an instant delivery stamp, in cities where the free delivery sys- tenn is in operation. These stamps would entitle the letters bearing them to instant de- livery by special carriers as soon as they were received at the postofice. This would be enterprising, but it is doubtful if it would, on the whole, pay. For quick work the tele- graph is the best, and there would have to be a good many special carriers to make the ser vice valuable.
 The Boston and Albany Railroad Company in suit at Boston set up defense in an action for damages that the arrest of a pas senger by policeman relieved the company from liability, because the policeman was not an agent of the company. Albert l.. Murdock, Boston manufacturer, bought at the ticket office in Springfield two tickets, one to Chester, which had not been punch ed, and the other to Pittsfeld, which had been twice punched. The rules of the road require conductor to refuse to take a ticket which has been twice punched. In this case the conductor declined to take the ticket ani demanded payment of fare. The passenger refused to pay and was ejected from the train at Pittsfield and there arrested and lodged in was taken before the police court and dis charged In the trial for damages at Boston the judge instructed the jury that the rail-

 The truth is that the t'spoils'' system, which our politicians seem to recoil from touching with the same fatal timidity which they displayed toward slavery before the war, but which will in the long run bring the same ruin on 'sdoughfaces" and trim mers, only permits the distribution of the offices under the direction of the official party chiefs in each State. It is based on the the ory that the Senators represent the party in ali divisions of the spoil, and are entitled to say absolutely and finally who are entitled to it. To attempt to administer it on the the ory that every faction of the party, every band of revolters against the senatorial lead are entitled to share in it gaaa revolters is to duce it to complete absurdity, even from the spells point of view.

The disc overy of new gold field in tn most inland part of New South Wales is causing some. excitement among the gold mining community. The scene of the find is the Grey Ranges. a wild elevated country in the extreme northwest of the col ony, and on the borders of South Au stralia. Apart from the nature of the deposits, which are said to be rich, the discovery is interesting as mat
 ter of science, as being deviation from the
 rule which has hitherto prevailed that all of
 the mineral wealth, and especially the gold
 deposits, in Australia have been found within
 short distance from the coast. The nearest
 village to the Grey Ranges is Wilcannia, on the Darling river, some 600 miles from Syd-
 ney, and 200 miles from the gold field. Water
 is scarce, and only to be met with at distances of fifty miles apart, so that prospectors will have to encounter more than the usual l amount of difficulty.
 The Educational Congress just held in
 Paris recommended that primary instruction
 in France should be rendered obligatory,
 and advised the creation of prima- ry schools in hamlets three miles
 distant from the central town or will lage of the commune, the creation of section | al schools for several outlying hamlets con- l tiguous to each other, and the establishment l for each teacher of 8 class maximum. Forty pupils were as much as .schoolmaster or
 mistress could attend to. The Congress also | advocated the nomination of female teachers
 for all the junior classes, and suggested to the government to make the schools more l attractive. Why not, it asked, grant rewards ! to those who for many years had a high aver age of good marks :? Why not in after life prefer them to other candidates for humble | functions, such as that of rural postman and
 rural polieeman2 The cramning system was | condemned. M. Jules Ferry, the Minister of Public Instruction, assured the Congress that instruction would be rendered obliga- tory, and promised to fix the class maximum
 at forty. He emphatically declared himself partisan of lay instruction, and said that the schoolmaster henceforth would be only
 in subjection to the University authorities. There are now f, TOO, GOO children taught in the French communal schools.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Those who are talking about getting out an injunction to prevent the annexation which has recently been voted are wasting time and breath. It is not at all probable that such an injunction would be sustained, and even if it were it would only delay an- nexation until the Legislature could act.
