A conscientious Postm aster.

f s From Harpers Weekly.
s A postmaster under Buchanan, finding
by his instructions" that he was to re-
port quarterly, addressed the following
official communication to the Plesi-
dent:
July 8, 1S57.-Mr James Buchanan,
President Of the United States-Dear
Sir: Being required by the instructions
Of the Post Office to report quarterly, l
know foolfil that pleasin duty by re-
portin as follows: The harvestin has
been going on beerty, and most of the
nabors have got their cuttin dun. Wheat
is hardly average crop, on rollen land
corn is yellerish, and went turn out
more than ten or fifteen bushels to the
aker. The health Of the community is
only tolerable, and cholery has broke
out about 2 and one-half miles from
here. There is q powerful awakenin
on the subject Of religion in the falls ma
borhood, and many soals are bein
made to knew their sins forgiven.
Miss Nancy Smith, q mere nabor, had
twins day before yesterday. One OF
them is supposed to be o seven month
er, . poor scraggy thing, and wont live
half its day. This is about awl I have
TO report the present quarter. Give
my respects to Mrs. Buchanan, and
subscribe myself yours truly,
r. n. at --, Fulton Co., i'll.

ants the owners Of the property and
the man who sub-leased the premises
to Cudney. This rather complicated
the suit, as the average human jury.
mans mind is unable to comprehend
that a respectable property owner
is to be made responsible for the down
fall Of brilliant genius simply because
he happened to get drunk on premises
lease ed by him. The defense sought to
prove that Mrs. Elkins contributed to
make drunkard Of her husband, and
signally failed to do 80. The trial, from
beginning to end, has been sorry ex-
hib;tion Of the deplorable weakness of
mans nature, and If there is any moral
to be tagged on the sad, disgraceful his
tory, it is the futility Of attempting to
repair a moral injury by asking for q
pecuniary compensation.

The Fuel OF the Future.

The National Gazette makes the follow
ing announcement in regard to the use of
petroleum as fuel: We shall be soon able
to announce wonderful stride in the me-
chanical appliances for using liquid fuel
for generating steam in both marine and
land boilers. The matter is in the hands
Of practical men, who will soon demon
strate they can make from twenty eight
to thirty gallons of crude petroleum, cost
ing from eighty-five to ninety cents, do
the work of ton Of coal, costing from four
dollars to four dollars and twenty five cents,
without dirt or smoke, and when, as in the
case of large steamer carrying from forty
to forty-fve men in the fire-room, one man
in each will be abundantly able to keep up
q uniform pressure of steam at all times.
Liquid fuel is the intervening step between
coal and electricity, which will in due
season furnish motion for the world. But
until we arrive at thorough knowledge
Of this subject and of motive power, liquid
fuel will have had its day and generation,
wiping out the last remnant Of barbarism,
coal. The fireman Of the future can wear
broadcloth in the fire-room, while the coal
passer will have laid down his ''shovel and
hoe, to become one of the memories of the
past. This condition of things is near Al
hand.

The Late Indian Fight.

A Denver dispatch says: Advice
from source considered reliable
greatly reduces the magnitude of the
late Indian fight. Not long after the
cattle men arrived in the Indian country
Billy May, one Of the leaders, conclud.
ed that the men were too noisy, and
being unable to get them in proper trim,
he, with six others, left the main part;
Only thirteen Indians were encountered,
and but nine cattle men went into the
fight, the remainder apparently seeing
the trap the Indians were laying. The
nine men pursued the Indians and the
latter pushed their fight until they had
drawn their pursuers into cannon
where they turned and fred and left.
One of the nine was killed and seven
wounded. William May, and COM
psnions who were reported missing
have reached the big bend of the Do
lOres in safety. At last accounts thir-
teen Indians engaged in the fight had
crossed the Colorado line, and were en-
route to the Uncompaghre agency with
their sguaws and cattle. One squaw
is reported shot, having received a shot
while herding sheep. II is an important
fact in estimating the dangers caused
by the late fight that in none of the re-
ports have the miners appeared as
;aking hand in the fight. If there
1ad been fight that was likely to cause
! general outbreak it seems that the
miners would be sufficiently interested
o be among the volunteers.

The Latest Slang Words.

Quite a lot of new slang has been opened
up for trade. This is nearly altogether
family slang for the use of ladies, and if
they wish to be abreast of the times they
will take out their pencils and tablets and
note down the specimens. "Catouche" is
a very new word, and means nice, sweet,
pleasant. Coffee, for instance, may be ca.
touche; SO may John Henry or Eliza Jane.
When q girl is sflick," she is knowing. If
she is "fency," she is just the reverse Of
knowing. If you wish to convey to your
hearts idol the idea that you adore her
transcendent beauty, just tell her she is
Oppressive" "a Johnny-boy" is new
variety of the genus homo who knows how
to dance like an angel-supposing that an
gels would so far forget themselves as to
dance-who wears good clothes and who is
an idiot in every other respect The femi-
nine equivalent Of the "Johnny-boy" is
generally called "Evangeline." If you dis
approve Of place or a person, or a party,
you may either refer to it as "snide,"
,'gummy," or sloppy" Excessive admira-
ton wrecks itself upon expressions in such
words as "balmy,' Harmonious" gull
tive" "Gullitive" seems to mean ia great
many things. It's sort of non-conlmit-
tai word, which can be used to fill up
sentence or express a doubtful opinion

Of this star-Alpha Centauri, as it is
called-is twenty billions Of miles
Itrequires little consideration to
estimate what the words twenty billions
of miles really mean. A billion con.

endeavor to convey an idea OF this
amount by simple illustration.

.sit" and "set."

Many Of the agricultural journals are
sorely troubled to know whether hen sits
or sets. If some editor Of dignity would
set hen on the nest, and the editors would
let her sit, it would be we'll for the world.
Now man. or woman either, can get
hen, although they cannot sit her; neither
car, they sit on her, although the old hen
might sit on them by the hour If they
would allow. A man cannot set on the
wash bench; but he could set the basin on
it, and neither the basin nor the grammar
lans would object. He could sit on o dogs
tail II the dog were willing, or he might
set his foot on it. But if he should set on
the aforesaid tail, or sit his foot there, the
grammarians rs we'll as the dog would
howl. And yet, strange as it may seem,
the man might get the tail aside and then
SIT down, and neither be assailed by the
dog or the gnmmarians.

Only q Mechanic.

Only mechanic! Well for my part,
hardly know any one respect more thar
I do faithful, skilled mechanic, who puts
thought into his handicraft and knows WHY
he does things.
His hands may be hard, and his working
clothes rough, but 1 wonder what we
should do without hin-you and I! We
should sit under rock, perhaps, cooking
our food ON bit of stick over o fire Of
dead branches without roof to cover us
and certainly destitute of stoves, ranges,
and stationary tubs.
Only mechanic! Look at the great
buildings that line our streets, which vast
crowds enter without fear; think of the
long stretch of sidewalks, the bright gas
lamps, the pure, cold water to be had by
turning little faucet!
Think of the carriages we ride in-the
railroad cars, the steam engine. Think of
almost anything we use, from fork to o
hair-pin, and then turn up your nose at q
mechanic" if you dare. Mechanics, led on
by scientific men, .have made every i'm
provement we rejoice in. They are not all
inventors, but all inventors are mechanics
of the better sort-mechanics who have
original thoughts.
Mechanics are by no means an ignorant
set of men, either. They generally keep
pretty well up with the times. They edu-
cate their families. They have neat little
homes, where you often find pianos and
good books Thanks to the advantages
they have here, they are in this country at
least, well-spoken and well-mannerd peo-
pie, with no servility about them, and no
necessity for being servile. On holidays
they dress as well rs anybody else, and
are often more comfortable and grow
great deal richer than people who speak 80
contemptuously Of "a mechanic" without
really thinking what a mechanic is, OF
what-if he is a genills-he may be. II
would be an uncomfortable world, l ASSURE
you, my dear, if mechanism and the me-
chaAics were left out of it. 1t would be q
great deal better to have none of the more
dainty sort of folk, for left to themselves,
they could not do much, and would 20
back to the unpleasant condition of tho
cave dwellers, who had not . mechanic
them.-M. KID.
