General Grant has informed Sena-
tor Logan of mis- change of feeling in
the case of Fitz John Porter, and to a
reporter the general says: 81 had
fully made up my mind that the judy
ment of the court-martiaI was a just
one Recently, however, at the re-
quest of General Porter, l have read
over all of the testimony in the case,
aud also the Orders and reports of the
confederate officers who were at the
second battle of Bull Run. AS l pro-
gressed in my reading l became very
much interested in the case, aud
found that the facts we're very differ
II from what l have hitherto be-
lieved, am Of the opinion that, had
all of the testimony and documents
now available beer brought before
the court-martial, there would have
been no verdict against General Por-
ter. The orders of the confederate
generals show that the confederate
army was just where Porter said 1t
was, and not where the court-martial
was lead to believe 1t q For nine
teen years | have believed that the
finding of the court was a just one,
and warranted by the facts. But now
! see that l am in error, and the fact
that for twelve years, when l was
general of the army and president oil
the United States. l had it IN my
power to do General Porter justice.

tnat the quantity received is equal IN
weight to 400 barrels of -four, while that
sent offs equal to 1000 barrels. This
immense aggregate, however, is divided
into letters and papers, making detailed
labor beyond conception. New York is
great city for letters, owing to the
vast business correspondence conduct
ed here. The average of letters
dispatched from this Office is 100000
per month. To these are to be added
100000 postal cards, 100000 of cir
culars, and 10000, 900 of newspapers and
other periodicals. Even the packages
of merchandise average 100000 per
month. This shows how the postoffice
clerks earn their money. The heaviest
business on any one day amounted to
sixty tons received and lbs tons dis
patched This makes business of 1875
tons, all done in one building. The duty
of correcting the errors in the imper-
fectly directed letters is in itself a long
and tedious task, as the average is 800
per day, most of which are sent to their
proper destination. The postoffice in
deed, is a word in itself, and can only
be known by exploration. When the
building was finished it was more than
adequate to all requirements, but it has
already become too small. Hence the
construction of table seventy-five feet
in length for the letter stamping clerks.
This affords present relief, but the pres
ent rate of increase will soon require
additional accommodations.

Uriah BaScOm is in Town.

u Milwaukee Wisconsin,; A good story of
the manner in which w. G. Swan "set up a
game" on Uriah Bascom, prominent
lumber merchant of Chicago is going the
rounds-so good, in fact, that the Wiscon-
sin will strip it of superhueties and relate it:
Mr.. Swan happened to be in Chicago OH bus
mess few days ago, part of the business
being to partake of dinner in company
with five or six others, among whom was
Uriah Bascom) the whole party to go to
the Ministries at Haverlys in the evening.
1t occurred to Mr. Swan that It would be a
capital idea to run little rig" on Bascom,
who is we'll known, and accordingly he held
conversation during the day with one of the
end men of the minstrel company. During
the evening the dinner party strolled into
the theater and took seats well down in front.
As the first part was drawing to a close
messenger boy bearing a dispatch rushed
down the center aisle and handed the dis
patch to the leader of the, orchestra. That
gentleman appeared somewhat dumbfound-
ed, and3one of the end men told him to
hand him the dispatch and he would at
tend to it. Tearing open the dispatch the
end man suddenly Strengthened himself up,
advanced quickly to the footlights and
asked, glancing over the audience: as
Uriah Bascom in town?'
Mr.. Bascomb jumped to his feet and
shouted, Here ami"
At this moment the orchestra sounded a
chord and the whole chorus stood up and
sang:
Uriah Bascom is in town,
Uriah Bascom is in town,
Uriah Bascom is in town,
Glory hallelujah!
Poor Bascom stood like one daZed; the
house picked up the joke, the building
echoed with laughter, and Swan looked
innocent as boarding house chicken.

when he and few companions resolved
on what they termed a Clark Their
frolic took the turn of demolishing all
the mirrors, chandeliers, pictures, and

he frant;cally dashed out windows,
ruined statuettes and vases, and defaced
bookcases and sideboards, shrieking the
while like an incarnate demon. Then,
when he had done. he drew forth his

with an oath, ordered the manager to
pay himself for the damage done, which,

Immense Business of a Postofrice.

New York Letter: The foregoing al
fusion to our postoficesleads to the re-
mark that the Congressional committee

very satisfactory report. but they re-
duced some of the best men, and one of
the number resigned. The postoffice
force, is severely worked. and each man
more than earns his pay, which is in
many instances, a mere pittance. How
few can form any idea of the work done

The Sonl-liuht dawninrr in his ewes

Across my lap the baby lies
The soul-light dawning in his eyes;

Adown the pages of my book.

The fair lines run on rhythmic ieet;
And sparkling fancies gem the brink
Of this clear we'll from which Idrink.
But sudden, all the poets skill
Is dimmed by something sweeter still,
And all his dreamings high and grand,
Lie hid beneath a baby's hand.
