The:most gigantic 'rhackaeray would
! say. prOdigious, piece of star route
business is practiced between West
Point and Kensett, this state. The
two places are only four miles apart
and an old crippled colored man i
employed Mt $50 per month to carry
the mail. The other day man,
while going over the mail path, me,
the black carrier limping along with
two letters and u postal card.
"Git outen de way, sab, de New.
whited States mails ur comm" and he
lifted his red eyes, intending them no
doubt to serve as danger signals. The
man, amused at the carrier, stepped
aside and asked:
''ls this star route, old man? ,"
"Course hit Is, when it amt cloudy.
faint no star route in de day time.
She's a sun route den, in course, takin'

"Hold on minute. I've got some
stuff here in a bottle" He put his
letters on the ground, saying: "Lay

tents Of the bottle held out he re-
manned, discussing the mail service,
suggesting improvement, such a. put

propriety Of himself being furnished

Can they be Shown at the 0las-
gov Avenue Presbyterian
Church?

There is a wild rumor to the eff:
feet that society of Glasgow Avenue
Presbyterian church is ''all tore up"
over the CATERS Of the ladies Of its
chair. The choir Of the neat little
church named are located dnring SER
vice on q platform at one end of the
auditorium. and above this platform
is no protecting railing. When the
choir stand up to sing a close OBJ
server can easily see the feet Of the
singers. but it was not known until
recently that the congregation con-
tanned close observer. 1t appears,
though, that one Of those ladies of
uncertain age, whose mission in life
is to devote a scrutinizing attention
to the affairs of others, infests this
particular church and that recently,
looking at the choir. she detected
the gleam Of bright colors at a point
directly beneath one Of the prettiest
singers. 1t was the CLEAN of a
striped stocking around a shapely
ankle. The lady of uncertain age
was shocked. She continued her in
ve<tigations and saw that other feet
were visible. and after services were
over she cOnided the scandalOus mat
ter to her acquaintance. She talked
long and loud and got an adherent
or two, and this band of reformers
insist members Of the choir must
wear very long dresses. There is an
opposition group who think nothing
very bad has occurred if the congre-
CATION have occasionally seen the feet
Of the singers, and there are report
ed to have been sharp passages at
arms. The question of how much of
her foot a choir singer can show is to
be settled. and if the old lady who is
70 shocked cannot be gagged, the mat

side of the story, and a Kansas immi
grant pamphlet to do the lying. But
they will never have either. Every
man / talked with thought it would
be well to have immigrants. Yet not
one of them will clean the town up OF
sweep three feet in front of his door.
The richest Of them will not invest in
red printers ink and placard the
world with advertisements. The
hinges of their knees are not supple nor
have they a superduity of elbow grease
Now the question is, will this slow
southern immigration ever develop the
country, or must the Yankee come
down? There are no ''old fields here.
1t Is first chance. This section will
in a great measure be test of the
ability Of southern enterprise to show
itself. 1t is showing itself somewhat
but there is no denying its slowness.
We must be patient with it and let
time show the result.
While | was writing the foregoing
the hotel clerk raped at my door and
announced the president had been as
sassinated. l went down to see a
strange agitation among these old Rip
Van Wrinkles. l thought they hardly
knew who was president and surely
did not care. But now they were
gathered about the telegraph Office
and were sending dispatches of in
quiry to Nashville. For three or
four hours We thought the president
was dead. Every man was for exc
cutting the assassin. One said that if
ne wasn't lynched he ought to be and
4 conservative cool old fellow replied
that the law must take its course but
the result would he scafiold, which
was too good for the villain. They
said that Mr.. Garfield had thus far
made a good president, and had been
just and manly. There are no stall
warts here. Never in my life have l
seen such a change so suddenly made
in men. Their Indignation was as in-
tense as if they had been the personal
friends of Mr.. Garfield. They were
nearly all his political enemies. But
nothing was said about parties. By
night dozens Of countrymen had come
in from the country to hear further
particulars. A flag was run up in a
conspicuous place with Grape attached.
Are these men unloyal?
When another dispatch was caught
from the wires at 9 o'clock p. NJ, say.
ing that there was a chance for re-
covery, they gradually dispersed,
every one declaring with feeling that
he hoped for speedy recovery. They
were making preparations here early
this morning for little Fourth Of
July celebration. Now they do not
know what the character of the pro-
ceedings will be.
1 heard one old man remark that he
had not seen his neighbors 80 much
excited since he saw them in gray
jackets, looking at the battle field
where part of their number lay.

The flight Of the demOralized dram.
atist was certainly well timed, since
the order of the court in the divorce
case is one of very exciting nature.
The defendant is to pay his wife $500
for expenses in beating him, this pay.
ment to he made within thirty days
from date of order. He is also to pay
her as alimony. $4,000 a year, but as
the payments are monthly a slight
abatement is made and the sum is fix.

to have full access to her children.
Mrs. Bouicault indeed has won a com
plete triumph, and her miserable hus.
band only escapes the sheriff by alb.
sconding to London. He has met the
most complete defeat sustained by
any member Of the drama in such an
action since the famous Forrest di.
vorce case. Forrest, however, had
real estate, hence could not escape the
verdict. BOucicault, on the other
hand, has nothing but personal prop
erty, consisting chiefly Of the royalty
of his dramas. Hence his wife will
hardly be able to collect anything.
This will be great disappointment as
she is in much need. There was .
time when Agnes Robertson could
draw $500 q week as q performer, but
that day is past, and now, as Mrs.
Boucicault, she is All object Of pity.
The lawyers who undertook the case
on speculation, are also disappointed,
and the Boucicault case only proves to
be a victory on paper. This leads to
the remark that marriage among the
dramatic community is hardly recog-
nized as a bond, being generally con-
sidered a convenience. This class Is
continually under motion, and is so
necessarily mixed up that new at
fractions constantly occur. Hence the
idea of fidelity to matrimonial vows
often seems almost absurd. If a suit
for divorce were to follow such viola
tons the whole dramatic procession
would be in itigation.-N. Y. letter
