Adjustment Of Pay of Michigan Post.
masters.

Correspondence of The Post and Tribune.
WASHINGTON, September 1.-THE re-
cent adjustment of pOstmasters' salaries
by the pOstOfflce department has made
many changes in allowances to Michi-
gan postOfflces. Under the law this adj
justment takes place every two years,
and in special instances the postmaster
general can order revision on the ap-
plicatiOn of the postmaster. Of course
the changes are greater in the west than
in the east, as the population there adj
vances more rapidly. The pay of post
masters is dependent upon the receipts
of the Office. There are four classes, the
first three being called presidential Of
fees, because the appointments are made
by the President and confirmed by the
senate. The fOuth class consists of those
where the pay is under $1,000 and are
naturally the most numerous. Offices of
this class number 1884. The first class
receives $4,000 year and over; the Sc
cOnd between $4,000 and $4,000 year,
and the third between $1,000 and g.
900.
The total number of offices in the
country are 1887, an increase during
this year of 1,139. They grow at the rate
of about 1000 year.
Michigan has 1923 offices, 26 more
than on January l, 1881. OF the first
class there are three: Detroit $500,
jackson, $4,000 and Grand Rapids, $1,000;
twenty-eight of the second class, and 60
of the third class. The fourth class
number 1887. There are 300 money
order offices in the state.
The office which has made the heaviest
increase is Pet0skey, Emmett county,
which goes up $500, to $1,000 a year.
AnOka comes next, with an advance of
$500, going to $500, Moorhead, Clare
county, also raises $500, equaling Pc
tOskey in advance but only aggregat-
ing 81 400 year. There are three offices
that go up $500: Caro-, TuscOla county,
$1,4OO; Charlotte, second grade, and
Quincy Branch county, $1,000. Six
offices add 800 to their pay; Albion, So
100; Big Rapids. $4,000, becoming
second class office; Ludington, $4,000 al
so now Of the second grade, Mason; ST.
600; Midland, $1,000, and st. Johns, ST.
900. Five Offices have risen from the
fourth grade to the presidential rank;
Mont Pleasant, $1,000; Newberry, 81 200;
OtsegO, $1.100; CrOOkstOn, $1,000, and
Preston, $1,1OO.
Michigan has the letter-carrier sys-
tenn in Detroit, Grand Rapids and Jack
son.
Among the recently established offices
in the state Is one called Arthur. another
Conger. Newberry and Tyner. Some Of
the queer names are Dash, Diver, Friend
and Stalwart.

THERE was a touch Of the sentimental
in the selection Of the Presidents pail
bearers by Mrs. Garfield. They are OBJ
scure men, all of them. One is Treas
ury clerk, and another keeps cigar
store at Washington. a third is clerk
in the Pension Office, and fourth is a
grocery merchant of small capital; but
they were associated with the late Pres
ident in the temporal and spiritual af-
fairs.of the little Disciple Church that
he attended. They were not to be the
pall-bearers of the President, but the
pall-bearers of Brother Garfield.

THERE having been SO much talk
about President Arthur's birthplace the
New York San sent a reporter to Fair
field Township, Franklin County, Yer
mont, to investigate. The result was
the unearthing of abundant evidence to
proye that Chester Allan Arthur was
born in Fairfield, Franklin County, YER
mont, Oct. 5, 1880. He was named
Chester after DR.. Chester Abel, and AL
Ian after his grandfather on his fathers
side. Closing up the case, the Sun says:
"The whole case is conclusively settled
by this report. The controversy over the
birthplace of the man who last NOvem-
Der was elected Vice President is dis
posed of. President Arthur was born in
the State of Vermont"

The emigration reports show some
curious faces. It is rather surprising
that out of the half-milliOn strangers
that came to our shores last year only
DC were lawyers. Clergymen are rather
more numerous, and during the year 1853
arrived. 20 of them from England, and
the same number from Ireland. OF
musicians there were 800, and strange
to say, only 45 of them came from Italy;
but whether the bureau classed hand
organs under the head of musical instru-
ments it is not known. There were 211
teachers, fifty-nine sculptors, seven re-
porters, 159 artists, 32 editors, % dent
lists, 80 architects, and one chirOpodist.
From the large number of bakers on the
list it is presumed that they must have
heard of the magnificent wheat fields of
Dakota and other places, and lOnged to
lend hand in turning the golden
grain into bread. There were landed L.
377 bakers during the year, and of these
734 came from Germany. There were
1,13S butchers, 1874 cabinet.makers, g.
OBJ masons, 2,134 tailors, 1,474 weavers,
1888 miners, and 105,012 labOrers.
