The British Postal System.

For the fiscal year 1880 81 the report
of the British Postmaster General shows
that the total number of letters, postal
cards, circulars, book packets and news
papers delivered amounted to 1 ,6S1 49,
800, or nearly seventeen hundred
million, against 2,215, 1853, 124, or a
little over twenty-five hundred mil
millions delivered by the Post Office De-
partment of the United States during
the last year. The English department
delivered 1,176. 423, 600 letters, OF an
average of "a for every man, woman and
child in the United Kingdom; the United
States Post Office Department deliv-
cred 500, 593,572 letters, or an
average of sixteen per capita
Our department delivered 276, 446, 706
postal cards to 122, 844, 900 by
the British department, and for mails
carried sos, 175. 624 newspapers, to 1873,
796, 100 carried by those of Great Britain.
The gross receipts of the British depart
ment for the year were eS, 700,0S1, and
the expenses e5, 62s, 500, leaving clear
profit of e3,O71, 525, or more than
$15. 100000. The telegraph system of
Great Britain, it must be remembered, is
a part of its postal system, and returns
a large share of this profit. Since 1871
the number of messages sent per annum
by the British postal telegraph system
has increased from $3.50, III to 1885,
965.

The summer season at New York sea
sides, Coney Island and Rockaway, has
been decidedly disappointing, both to the
railroad companies in interest and the
hotel proprietors. The season began
late-not till after the fourth of July
and dragged without spirit even through
the hot weather. The hotel restaurauters
hoped to be able to linger long on the
beaches to make up for the late begin
ming. but the ocean gales are causing en-
croachments of the tides and promise to
drown them out even earlier than usual.
ROckaway was built up to catch the
overflow from Manhattan and Brighton,
and other corners of Coney, and a bid
was made for the Hebrew patronage,
but like all such special preparations,
this failed. The Jews do not choose to
be classed in their social recreations.
The fact is, the Gotham seaside is over
built, the capitalists are playing a grab
game to get their money back, and the
people have become shy.

The disappearance of George A. W.
Stewart, Secretary of the Brooklyn
School Board, announced in the dis
patches last Tuesday, is the latest act in
a drama of fraud in which the abscond.
ing Secretary is the chief actor. Stew
art took ride in Central Park on Sun
day, and on leaving the grounds alighted
at one of the entrances, bidding his driver
wait for him. He walked off, and has
never returned. He had the handling of
the Brooklyn school moneys, and kept
$213, 600 of them with which to prose
cute his travels in other lands at least
he is short in his accounts that much.
The deficiency was discovered several
weeks ago, and Stewart was arrested and
held to bail in the sum of $40, 900 for his
appearance at trial. But Of course q
man who has embezzled $4,000 can
well afford to forfeit one-twentieth the
amount to escape punishment-so that
his disappearance is nothing of a mys-
terry, though his whereabouts is. The
last thing Stewart was heard to say be-
fore his sudden departure is that " life Is
a burden anyway" But for all this it is
not believed that he has ended his exist
ence. The opinion is that he has gone
off to spend his stealings where there are
no officers Of the law to disturb him.

The work of reducing the cost of the

The work of reducing the cost of the
postal service, by cutting off or cutting
down the mail facilities in rural regions,
is in the charge of special agents of the
Post Office Department. They investi-
gate the existing service, and report
where and how it can be decreased. The
Office of special agent is eagerly sought
after by the average political worker,
and is almost exclusively used as po-
litical reward. Thus, this special service
has come to be solid body of Republi-
can workers to whom is invariably COM
mitted whatever of dirty or
underground work the party
managers decide upon. They
were largely used in the arrangement and
commission Of the after-election frauds
in Louisiana and Florida in 1876, and
traces of their labors were constantly
found by the Congressional Investigators
of the colossal fraud by which defeated
Presidential candidate was installed in
the White House. If the present inves-
tigation of the postal service affords any
opportunities for partisan work, these
special agents may be relied upon to
grasp and make use Of them. 1t may be
taken for granted that wherever the Re
publican party would be injured by
decrease of postal service, no cutting
down will be recommended.

A journalistic fossil who used to be
connected with Western newspapers
good many years ago is of the opinion
that General Taylor was deliberately pois-
oned at the instigation of the pro-slavery
men, in order to let in Fillmore, who, it
had been ascertained, was favorable to
the passage of the fugitive slave" bill.
He also believes that President Harrison
was murdered so that John Tyler might
come in and change the policy of the ad-
ministration in the interest Of the Demo
Gratis. He suggests that some similar
political view may have been at the
bottom of the assassination of Abra-
ham Lincoln, inasmuch as An
drew Johnson, after he got warm in
the Presidential chair, went back on the
Republicans. Going on from these as
sumptiOns this shrewd student Of the
undercurrent of American history sees a
suspicious significance in the fact that
Vice President Author belongs to Re
publican faction adverse to that headed
by President Garfield. Upon such data
he becomes prophetic and formulates
rule that whenever the President and
Vice. President happen to represent Sc
riously conflicting policies there will be
great danger that an attempt will be
made to put the President out of the
way.
There is a great deal more ingenuity
than sense in this idea of the Western
ink-slinger. 1t will serve, however, as
an illustration of the crankiness that is
now generally coming to the front in all
sections of the country. The fools are
not yet dead. Their tribe appears, on
the contrary, to be increasing.

1t was to be expected that somebody
would get up in the pulpit or on the
platform in this year that tries mems
bodies, and preach the beginning of the
end. Samuel Sheffield Snow, the other
evening in New York, announced him
self as the especial messenger of the
King of Kings" and lectured loudly
and preached powerfully upon "The
Time of Trouble, Such as Never Was, !"
the prophecy of which he found in
Daniel. Samuel interpreted Daniel in
the light of his special message, pro-
claimed that the time had come, and de-
nounced as "liars" all who dared to
doubt his word. The prophet pointed
to the forest fires of Michigan as ocular
proof that the end is here and now. He
included the preachers among the
Glars" who would doubt his mission
and message, and said they were going
the wrong way and leading the people
after them. He had come to turn the
tide towards heavens gates, and save
the sinful world, all in lump. Ac-
cording to Shows gospel, all that peo-
pie have to do is to believe "now's the
day and now's the hour" and enter
kingdom come, clad in robes as white as
snow.

The troubles of the Khedive of Egypt
with his army, appear to have arisen
from the latter's hostility toward the vir-
tual Anglo French protectorate which, in
the interest of the holders of the Egyp-
tian bonds, proposed to cut down the
army Both England and France are
supposed TO have designs on Egypt.
France contemplates the establishment
of a great colonial empire in North
Africa. England's interest, aside from
the large amount of the Egyptian debt
held by Englishmen, is thus stated by a
London paper: THAT country is of
enormous importance to US, because
through it there passes the best, shortest,
and most commodious means of commu-
nication with our Indian Empire. Such
being the case, we never could permit
any power of the first class to obtain
military possession of Egypt. Rather
than allow this we should be prepared to
accept the risk of war"

VOltaic Electricity In Garden Guilt

SAVANNAH, September IL. - Editor
Morning Neaos note in your issue OF
this morning your article under the cap
ton. rs Electrical Farming Posi-
bility of the Future?" Galvanic or vol
taic electricity in garden cultivation was
the subject of experiment in England
forty years ago, and with favorable re-
suits in producing early and large sized
vegetables and fruits; but owing to the
want then of theoretical knowledge and
practical appliances of electricity the ex-
periments were held to be more ingeni-
GUS than of general utility. Remember
ing these experiments, l applied
voltaic electricity four months
ago to the recovery of two
patagonia of the Lady Washington
variety, that were dropping from some
unhealtnfulness. Without removing
them from the pots, punctured one
plant half an inch below the surface of
the earth, and passing through the stem
a small copper wire, fastened one end OF
it to a silver half dime, and the other end
to a piece of zinc of the same size.
Around the stem of the other, at the
same distance below the surface, l
wrapped copper wire, fastening the ends
respectively to pieces of zinc and iron,
and covered both my batteries carefully
with earth. To test the experiment as l
best could, placed these two along side
of a third similar pelGrgOntuD1, not cleo
triied The treatment of the three was
precisely the same, viz: Good sun ex-
posure, liberal supplies of water
morning and evening, and once IN
four weeks dose of Wilcox
& Gibbs ammoniated phosphate, in the
proportion of one teaspoonful to two
gallons of river water. For two weeks
there was no preceptible change in the
plants electrified. Then the silver and
zinc patient showed renewed Vigor, and
in week after the zinc ana iron the
same. Soon they passed in growth the
geranium not treated, and are to-day as
healthy plants as one could wish for,
the silver and zinc one having more than
doubled its height. AS the experiment
went on, l spoke of it to our skillful
public gardener, Mr.. Moves, and to a
medical friend, who is versed in agricul-
ture and chemistry. l am neither in
the one or the other, but it has occurred
to me that as electricity is developed by
the contact of dissimilar methods with
moisture, the addition of copper, zinc
and iron filings in small proportions to
artificial manures, or applied directly to
the roots of plants, might prove an eff
cient agent in agriculture, by promoting
early development of plant and fruit,
and give the suggestion for what it
may be worth. ii. q. w.

The September report Of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture shows the extreme
severity Of the effects Of the August
drought and hot weather. The condi-
ton Of the cotton crop is reported as 2S
Der cent. below an average, a decline Of
Is per cent. since August 1st, which may
be estimated as equivalent to the loss of
nearly !, 600, 900 bales in the cotton pros
meet Indian corn shows a decrease
from n per cent. Of an average on Au-
gust 1st to 60 per cent. on September
1T which means the wipIng out Of
about 26O. 900, 900 bushels from the pros
meets Of that crop. Tobacco has Jared
still worse. the condition having fallen
20 per cent. since the beginning Of Au-

losses by the August weather probably
amount to close upon $500, 900, 600.
