A special to the New York Herald
states that H. W. Miller, clerk in the
registry department of the Pittsburg
post Office, was arrested on Friday on a
charge of embeZzlement On December
30, 1880, the Cashier of the Office found
his accounts IS, 200 short, and on July /,
1881, Niblock, a clerk, could not account
for 1867. About a year ago another
clerk. David Nichols, was between $500
and 5000 short. He protested his limo
cence, but was compelled to return all
his savings. He was dismissed from the
Office, and suit has been brought by ex-
Postmaster Anderson against his bonds
men to recover the balance. Many
registered letters were delivered from
the Office without stamps, which cost
ten cents each. Saturday it was dis
covered that Miller removed stamps
from registered letters which came to
and used them on letters sent from the
Office. Being stamp clerk, he could re-
cancel the old stamps, and the dual
marks would not be noticed. Forty
cancelled stamps were found in his pos
session. When detected at this work,
he confessed to having stolen the money
which made the shortage in the accounts
of other clerks. His populations in
stamps sometimes reached as high as
$S4 per day.

The Union Generate furnishes the most
striking illustration of the wild specula
ton prevalent in France. 1t increased
its deposits from 22,OOO,O0 francs De
cember, 1873, to 100000 December,
1879. and paid dividend of 10 per cent.
in 1880 it doubled its stock, issuing So
600 additional shares, and earned IL ,466,.
76O francs on an actually paid up capital
of only 12,5OO,O 900 francs, declaring a
dividend Of 80 per cent. In 1881 its
shareholders made great profits by allot.
ment of shares in the Laendor banks OF
Austria and Hungary, and again doubled
its nominal capital. This stock, which
had sold at 73s at the beginning of 1880,
and 900 at the end of that year, rose to
1900 in July, was powerfully assailed
by great bankers, but was etfectually
"c0rnered," and advanced to 5000 in
November. Since the corner the bank
appears to have been loaded with a vast
quantity Of its own stock for which there
has been no market.

On the 9th inst. there is to be de
livered in the House of Representatives,
memorial Grafton eulogistic of the life
aud services of the late President Gar
field. Mr.. Blaine, of Maine, is to be
the orator, and it is limited that he will,
after the manner of Marc Antony over
the corpse of Caesar, improve the
occasion to make capital for
himself. A correspondent of the Wash
ington Post writes that ga warm friend
of Mr.. Blaine has said that it was going
to be very curious performance, ."
adding, "There will be good deal more
of Blaine in that meeting than of Gar
field. Exactly what the orator of the
occasion will say cannot now be prophe-
sled, but his words will be chosen. His
position is one of extreme delicacy, and
the effects of his speech will extend as
far into the future as the year 1884"

The Chicago Tribune Republican) is
responsible for the announcement that
there is a young man travelling around
in Eastern Texas vaccinating the negroes
with beeswax. He charges a dollar a
vac, represents himself as being ap-
pointed by the United States Govern
ment, and threatens that dire penalties
await those who refuse to be operated
on. The Tribune prudently neglects to
mention from what section of country
the young man halls, but we dare say it
can be easily guessed. All that sort of
young men migrate from about the same
locality.

II is believed that a favorable report
viii be made by the House Committee
on Post Offices and POST Roads to estab-
lish postal savings banks in connection
with the Post Office Department. The
bills provides that interest shall not ex-
coed two per cent. and shall not be al
lowed on any sums less than one dollar,
and that the banks OF sub depositOrs may
be established at suitable money order
offices at which the postmaster's salary is
not less than $500. 1t prohibits the de-
posit Of any sum less than one dollar,
and limits the aggregate amount credited
10 one depositor to $500. 1t provides
that the deposits shall not be subject to
state or local taxation or to seizure for
debt and the funds, except what is re-
ouired for the current business, shall be
invested in United States bonds bearing
not less than three per cent. interest.

Food and nrne Analrsis.

1t Is gratifying to note that some OF
the States of the Union are manifesting
higher appreciation of the importance
of this subject, and affording evidence
that America will yet regard efficient
laws for guarding the public health as
entirely consistent with public liberty.
Some progress has certainly been made
in this direction, and when once the
Legislatures of the different States are
convinced that those who poison the
foods and drugs of the people, are NOR
ally as criminal as those who cause death
by other methods, we shall soon see war
fare made upon the swarms of iniquit-
Gus adulteraters to be found in almost
every community in the land.
To prevent this great evil there should
be established in every State chemical
laboratories accessible to all persons,
where any and all articles of food
and medicines supposed to be adul-
terated can be analysed, and Sc
we're penalties should be fixed for the
punishment of offenders in this respect
against the public health. If the States
can organize boards of health, pass laws
of quarantine, and enforce measures for
the protection of communities against
contagious diseases, we sea no reason
why they should he considered powerless
to check the evil consequences resulting
from adulteration and food poisoning
an evil not less contagious, and more
fatal in this country, perhaps, than all
the known epidemic contagious and in
fections combined. This may seem to
be strong language, but it is, we think,
not exaggerated, when the monster evil
is followed into all its ramifcations, and
its deleterious effects are fully exposed.
Thousands of deaths annually may be
traced mediately or Immediately to
adulterated foods and medicines, and
though vast sums of money are expend-
ed in Coroner's inquests over those slain
by the hand of violence or accident, no
account is taken of the thousands who
fall by the omnipresent hand of insidious
adulteration. We do, indeed, "strain at
a gnat AID swallow a camel" when
enlightened boards of health compass
sea and land" to discover the secret
abOdes of hideous mortality about our
large cities, and ignore the presence of
the demon of destruction, who, in at
tractive form, presents himself in the
dazzling marts of trade. While we
seek him in the waters of the pump and
hydrant, trace him in the fetid gases of
the sink and sewer, and mark his foot
prints in malarial low grounds, it is in
the glittering shops and storerooms that
he is also to be found, distributing in the
plenitude of his sickening power food
and physic to the hungry and complain
ing. 1t is here, also, that it is necessary
to make vigorous assault upon him,
and while his presence should be ex-
PEELED from marshes and sewers, the fact
that he is daily to be discovered stalking
openly and boldly about our streets
should, by no means, be overlooked.

Early in March Queen Victoria will
pay an unofficial visit to the Continent.
She will journey to Cherbourg in her
steam yacht Victoria and Albert; but
whether her destination will be Italy or
the South of France is uncertain, though
the expectation is that she will proceed
to the same beautiful district she made
her headquarters on the occasion of her
last Continental trip. She will again
travel incognito, to avoid ceremonial re-
ceptions and insure comparative privacy.

ScovilIe is said to be in favor of the
scheme to exhibit Guiteaus frozen body

assassin, because he thinks that it is
about the only plan by which he will

however, is violently opposed to the pro
posed exhibition, and declares that the
body shall be disposed Of in way which

Charcoal and Lime.

These Two articles play very
important pant in the management
of fowls, whether bred in fancer' S
yard or on farm. Charcoal should
be literally fed, for no one thing is
more conducive to health than this.
1t should be broken IN small Jumps
and put where the fowls can get at
it, and they will eat It with great
relish. We have seen it fed to pigs,
with the very best results and those
which we've treated to it were never
troubled with disease or sickness,
while neighboring ones were. This
heIpsto prove Its value not only
for swine, but for fowls. Where the
birds are kept in confinement it is
a very good plan to keep small

Feed the calves Well.

Good feeding is always profitable
and never more profitable than
when bestowed upon young animals.
The younger the animal the less is
the cost per pound for the increase
of flesh obtained. A given amount
Of food will produce more pounds
of flesh when ted to Il calf three
weeks old than to one three months
old. In an experiment in feeding
several calves Ii was found that
during the first week Of feeding
eleven pounds of milk were requir-
ed to produce one pound Of Increase
the second week, twelve pounds;
the third week, thirteen pounds
the sixth week, fifteen pounds; at
the ninth week, seventeen pounds
Or a thnd mole than the first week,
The wise farmer will readily seC
the importance OF generous feeding
while lie animal is young. 1t the
Young animal Is furnished with SC
scanty supply OF food that bis
growth is checked and he falls out
Of .ndition, lie is permanently in
