How They DO I'm England.

ILondon correspondence Of the Washington POST
One petty good thing that is about TO be
performed by this body fParliament] is the
passage of package-post act, which | feel
like recommending to the American autbo-
rites for their consideration. 1t provides
that all parcels not exceeding seven pounds
weight may be sent TO any part OF the
United Kingdom for one shilling, or %
cents each. The post-ofice will try to es-
tabish at the same time an international
postal system, and il is certainly to be hoped
the United States may be induced TO come
into the arrangement. In England the post
Office runs the telegraph system rs well rs
the savings banks, in addition to its nor
nal business. And one who has never been
there can have a very limited idea of the
promptness with which all those matters
are disposed Of. You may post letter in
London. directed TO any other portion of
this great city, and be perfectly sure that
IL will be delivered inside two hours. You
may mail a letter for America eight hours
after the steamer that is to bear 1t has left
Liverpool. A special train bears it to
Queenstown, and there 1t Is put aboard the
next noon. You may send a telegram Of
twenty words to any part OF the United
Kingdom for 25 cents and letter for z
cents. And you may deposit your savings
I'm any post-office station with the full
knowledge that the Government is respon-
sihlc for their safe-keeping. All of these
arrangements insure the transaction Of the
business involved at the very lowest cost.

Wr,o struck Billy Pattergon?


Many persons have heard the question
."Who struck Billy Patterson" without
knowing the origin of it. William Patter-
son was very wealthy tradesman or mer-
chant Of Baltimore, IN the State Of Mary
land. In the early days of Franklin county
he bought up great many tracts OF land
in the county, and spent good portion of
his time in looking after his interests there.
He was said to be as strong as bear and
as brave as lion; but, like all brave
men, he was lover OF peace, and in
deed a good, piors man. Nevertheless,
his wrath could be excited ITO q
fighting pitch. On one occasion he at
tended a public gathering in the lower
TART of Franklin county, at some district
court ground. During the day the two
opposing DULLES and their friends raised Il
row, and general fight was the conse-
quence. AT the beginning Of the afiray,
and before the fight began, Billy Patterson
ran into the crowd to persuade them not
TO fight, but to make peace and be friends.
But his efforts for peace were unavailing,
and, while making them, some OF the crowd
in the general melee struck Billy Patterson
a severe blow from behind. Billy ut
once became fighting mad, and cried
ont at the TOP OF his voice, " no
struck Billy Patterson 7" No one
could or would tell him who was
the guilty party. He then proposed to give
any man hundred dollars who would tell
him "who struck Billy Patterson" From
800 he rose to $1,000; but not $1,000
would induce any man to tell him "who
struck Billy Patterson" And years after
ward, in his will, he related the above facts
and bequeathed $1,000 to be paid by his
executors to the man who would tell "who
struck Billy Patterson" His will is re-
corded in the ordinary's Office at Cranes
Vile, Franklin county, Ca, and any one
curious about the matter can there find it
and verify the preceding statements
