ONE THOUSAND MILLIO2.

During the year which ended on
the 3Oth Of June last, there were
carried in the mails of the United
States more than one thousand mill
ion letters As the population of the
country is rather more than htty
millions, it follows that on the aver.
age, men, women and children, every
person in the country sent twenty
/. tiers during the year, and received
the same nmber.
In 1861 the entire receipts of the
Post-office Department only slightly
exceeded eight and . half million
dollars. In 1870, there were nearly
nineteen millions. In 1881 they
came near thirty-seven millions. 1t is
not drawing very much upon the
imagination to estimate that by 1890
they will exceed seventy millions ol

Discrepancy in the Census.

The most glaring errors have been
discovered and equally glarlng things
done to cover them up. The MANI
factnrers' division recently reported
their results, and they gave as their
footings 100000 more pounds of
flour manufactured than the agricul-
tural division reported pounds of
wheat grown. The division of final
results found the contl adictions, anl
talk was held in regard to it.
Strangely enough, the figures of the
agricultural division was accepted as
against the division of manufacturers,
and the latter had to be Gu, down to
suit the amount Of wheat grown. The
result of the who'll thing is that con
lilcnce has leen lost in many Of the
returns Of the Census Bureau, and
much injury has been done the inter
est of the milers who have produced
-four. There does not seem to be
any reason why the agricultural di-
vision figures should be accepted, as
those of the division Of manufacturers
were obtained from responsible sour
crs. and in most cases from the mill

with General Garfield several times
about The projected interocean canal.
Garfield said, in substance .ron these
occasions, that his administration
would take the position and enforce
it so far as it had power; that If
French, English or German capital
constructed the canal. in whole or in
part, it should be used exactly as if it
were invested in railroads or other
international improvements upon the

Trayeli lg Dresses.

CheVlots OF mixed colOrS, Shepherl's
checked wool and cloth-fnished flannels
OF dark somber shade are the fabrics
most in favor for travelling dresses for
long journeys. These must be of pure
wool, and should be well sponeed be-
fore they are cut out. to prevent them
from shrinking and being cooked by
dampness. The simple Shapes intro
duced by English tailors, with round
Or habit basque. draped over-skirt and
plated lower skirt, with stitching and
an edging of braid, are preferred by
most ladies for these suits The frors
and wide worsted braids have become
so common that many ladies object to
them. The trefoil pattern of braidine
is now abandoned in favor of large cir
Giles made by row after low of braid,
and these circles surround the basaues
and foot Of the skirt. The newest fancy
for these wool costumes. and one great
ly in favor with stout ladies', is that of a
long redingote over a skirt that has
merely ruche for trimming. This
redingoIe is single breasted, and is but.
toned only from the throat to the waist,
while the skirt fronts fall open below
the waist. The back and sides have no
tullness except a few deeply folded
plaits that are made to meet each other
in the middle seam of the back. A
pinked or notched ruche Of the cloth
trims the dress around the neck. the
wrists, and the entire skirt, extending
up to the waist in front. With
this is worn small dark straw
bonnet, Or else large round straw
hat with the brim shelving down
on the forehead. This redineote
design is also used as model
for an Ulster or travelling wrap that
may be worn with any dress skirt, and
it is also predicted that these straight
over-dresses will be as popular next sea-
son as the bouffant panier dresses now
are. Young ladies who follow the most
extreme English fashions have redin- |
gotes made without any fullness il the
back III the way of plaitings, the mid
die, back and side form being widened
below the waist, and gradually en-
larged enough to cover the dress skirts.

The small rough-and-ready straw bon
