SYSTEMATIC MAIL RopBERIEs.- Denver, Co..,
November 23.-Thcre is no doubt that the mails
between Denver and the Eastern Cities, paricu-
larly New York, Cleveland and Buffalo, are be-
ing systematically and successfully robbed. The
New York aud Eastern mail which lcf: Denver
December 20, 1881, never reached its destina-
ton and since that time losses are almost con-
stantly being reported. The postal authorities
claim to have been thus far so successful as to
locate the trouble east of the Missouri River,
but still rubbcries go under their very eyes
The real losses in vauabcs and currency
hardly be estimated, but the losses in drafts bills
ofexchange and postal money orders will aggre-
gate over SG0O0 900. Of course these last are
not real losses, but Denver banks AMI business
houses have been forced to make their transfer
of money through express companies, much to
their cost and Inconvenience. The more recent
robbcrics occurred on October 7, II and 81, and
November I.

DISFRANCmISEMENT IN MASSACHUSETTS
The StalwartS were very vigorous in
their appeals to the people to keep them in
power, in order that there shall be free
suffrage in the Southern States, and yet it
is found that there are only five States IA
the Union in which there is smaller pro-
portion of voting population to the number
Of males than in Massachusetts, No man
can vote there unless he pays the State,
City or County tax, and unless he can read
the Constitution and write his name on the
registration list. This is Republican law
making. If q man changes his residence
in Boston after May |, his name is liable to
be dropped from the voting list Ifhc has
not paid his poll tax he is disqualified.
The collectors will not attempt to force him
20 pay it until after the registration, when
he finds himself diSiranchiscd. Then they
will put him in jail If he does not pay, and
he loses his vote all the same. TIE number
of males of voting age in Massachusetts is
3O2 Chs, and at tic election in 1880, the
number OF votes cast was 2S2 SIP. More
than two thirds Of the voting population
was disiranchiScd by the tax and cducation

South Carolina. where there is reason for
limiting the vote because it is a certain j

population would give the State Govern.

SHALL THE GIRI. WHISTLE ?-The ques.
,ion is now asked why Il girl may not whistle
quite as much as boy. This is followed
by tho question why boy should be allow
ed to whistle at all, To somo people, ovca
ifthcy be fond Of other kinds of music the
whistle of aboy is an abominatiou. As to.
r1e-idaSsF of y Nsifr ~ D TOO no yaSsisk
for them to conceive oft. Comparatively
few girls whistle. They have naturally
thought that if it is thus for the boys it
must be quite rs bad for themselves.
AS whist!crs Tie boys have generally done
themselves aud their art such injustice
that whiStiing rs Il means Of making agree
able music, has not commended itself either
to their parents or their sisters. \ boy
practices whiStliAg not rs musical accom-
pl;shmcnt, but, for the most part, simply as
a means of making noise In this hc rcn.
dcrs himself disa,recablc, for noise without
music is seldom considered lovely. The
refinement Of the girl is generally greater
than that of the boy. She studies the art
of making herself agreeable, while hnr
brother impudently expresses his lack Of
care as to whether he is agreeable or not
The girl stops before learning to whistle, and
asks whether or not her whistliny will make
her company dtsirabl,. Having an idea
that it will not, she rcfrains.
The injustice which most boys have done
to themselves in the matter Of whstling,
and which they have also in consequence
done the girls, is that they have whis:lcd
badly. Often there is no more unc in their
whistle than if they We're whistlins to call
lost or missing dog. This kind Of whis-
Ting is not worth initiating, either by his
sister or his grandmother. If the girl
engages in it she merely makes herself dis.
agreeable On the other hand, ita whis-
tlcl Of either sex whistles good tune in 4
graceful manner the result may be pleasant
enough. The whistling machinery is sus.
ccptib!c Of culture to high degree. Those
who have doubts rs to this will be convinced
on hearing trained class of whistlcrs
either boys or girls. There are many organ
pipes which are not nearly as masical as a
well executed human whistle. IF the girl
will whistle we'll, let her whistle with the
largest liberty she chooses to cnj'y. There
is nothing very demoralizins about it.
