POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

H.-The postal sayings banks, a thoroughly
English idea, first suggested IN 1860, is the last
proof we have to mention of the wonderful
development of the postal services, and of the
remarkable elasticity found in the Institution
for embracing subjects utterly different from its
original mission of transmitting public and
official correspondence.
These banks have given the most extraor-
binary results in England, all over Europe, in
Canada. and even in Japan. In England
especially since it has been allowed to deposit
the smallest amounts OF savings tone shillingl
in the shape of collections of postage stamps
this creation has shown itself to be a great
benefit to the poor classes, as well as a self-sup-
porting institution, and what is better still, it
yields n considerable profit to the department
lover ElOO,O 600 a YEAR,, as the capital collected
through it is placed at higher interest than that
paid to depOsitOrs.
But [ must impartially remark that in Austria
liza, under the same regulations as In England,
the institution does not seem to have had the
same success, and this is attributed to the fact
that. in all new countries, capital has a relatively
higher value, and that during an equal period
of time, it may be easily rendered more pro-
ductive by investments in the cauAnerce, or in
local banks, which generally give a high interest,
or else by successive investments IN several
operations, than by a simple deposit Mt a low
rate of interest in the savings bank.
The same might be true here. However, the
thing. from its high philanthropic value, well
deserves to be tried in this country, where there
i no readily accessible institution, branching
all over the country, to receive the smallest
deposit of the poorer classes and L shall
merely call the attention of the Government to
tine opinion expressed by the onion P0staie:
The establishment Of Postal Savings Banks
is a duty which imposes itself to the most earnest
attention Of all the Governments who have not
yet adopted them" Moreover, it might prove
an Indictment for the bringing out of capital, IN
small sums, which now lie dormant or hidden.

Presentation of Floral Tributes

Shortly after noon on Friday
Commandenl Bolton of the College
Cadets was requested to form bis
company in front of the ampitheatre
at the Fair Grounds, when Hon. R.
0. Reynolds on behalf of the young
ladies' of Aberdeen, in beautiful and
appropriate speech presented them
with an elegant boquet. This was
followed by the presentation of a
splendid fl nal tribute from the Alb
ertleen Guards to the West Point
Rifles. The presentation speech was
made by our eloquent neigbbor Hon.
Jno. NJ, Allen of Tupelo, in his usual
happy style, and fittingly responded
to on the part of the Rifles, by their
gallant Commander, Capt. r. Nj.
Levy, who concluded as follows:
"While the Rifles are ephemoral vic

men, they confess their conquest,

ANOVel Cause for n Due7.

A special dispatch to the Boston
Herald from London, says: Farrar,
a fashionable young officer in the
guards, dining with friend in a Cairo
restaurant, some time since, was
siezed with novel notion of mixing
salad in an Egyptian fez. A Hun
garian at the next table, with an
Egyptian friend, deemed this delib-
crate insult to his companion, and
CO led out the young officer. The
latter had no objection to fighting,
but, at the urgent solicitations of
friends he refrained. The ultimate
consequence of the affair was that he
was compelled to resign his commits
sion in the guards, the Duke of Cam
bridge, in particular, evincing the
greatest hostility to him. The case is
attracting great attention. Her Maj
esty, who entertains the greatest
horror of dueling, has taken Lieut..
Farrar,s side, and the young officer
has addressed pamphlet to the Duke
of Cambridge, begging to be reinsta-
ted.

Our East Mississippi Wines.

The wines from the vineyard OF
DR.. j. M. Heard of West Point, Miss,
elected the greatest surprise and
commendation from those who tested
them at the Fair Grounds Friday
Gen. Abe Buford told us that he had
tested the wines of American grape
growers at the Fairs at Louisville,
Lexington, Paris, Richmond and
many other places, and had never
yet found any that could compare tc
those of DR.. Heard's vintage. He
said be was not willing to concede
the superior excellence of our cul-
ture, variety of our grapes or skill Of
our winners, but believed that there
was something in our climate pecu-
liarly adapted to grape growing ano
wine making, for no wine could ex.
ceed that exhibited in flavor, body ol
any other quality.

Wheat Growing Maxim.

Somebody has been at the trouble
of condensing great deal of infor-
nation about wheat growing, as fol-
lows, into very small compass, and
some body else has set it adoat with
out giving credit to the author:
/. The best soil for wheat is rich
clay loan.
2. Wheat likes good, deep, soft
bed.
3. Clover turned under make just
such bed.
4. The best seed is oily, heavy,
plump, and clean.
5. About two inches is the best
depth for sowing seed.
6. The drill puts in the seed bet
ter and cheaper than broadcasting.
7. From the middle of September
to the last of October is the best time
for sowing.
8. Drilled, one bushel of seed per
acre ; if sown broadcast, two bushels
per acre.
9. One heavy rolling after sowing
does much good.
10. For -four, cut when the grain
begins to harden, for seed, not until
it has hardened.

CuriOsities Of the Capitol.

Washington Letter to New Yo World.
For the curious, who 90 peking
around after queer sights, two very
interesting ones are to be seen now
in Westinghouse the painting of
the iron dome of the capital, and the
other the always-interesting work on
the Washington monument. The work
on the dome of the capitol is perilous,
and the workmen employed are of the
best, and are paid fancy prices for the
terrific risk. Nothing but slender
rope ladder is between them and
eternity. The painting of the dome
costs about $6,0O0,and 10000 pounds
of white lead are used in it. The
contraction and expansion of the
immense mass of iron causes the
statute of the Goddess of Liberty to
vibrate no less than eight and a hall
inches. Some coast survey work was
going on some time since near the
Capitol, and the engineers took the
highest point on the head of the
statute as their angle at observation
But every day there was strong
variation-everybody puzzled over it
and it defed the mathematical skill
of all the officers in the work until it
was discovered that the marble figure
swayed back and forth under the
disturbance of the vast body of iron
All over the dome there are fissurs.
for the expansion of the iron. If ii
/ were solid, some bitterly cold night
the great dome would burst into a

told the people in every speech he
has made that he is not a Republican,
not a Greenbacker, not Democrat,
but proposes if elected to frame his
own policy, "hoe his own row" and
carry out his own views, independent
of all others and acting upon plan
and programme entirely and exclu-
sively Leonine. If this is not the
programme OF an autocrat or licta-
tor we hardly know what to call it,
and the man who will hazard a vote
for one who asks authority to do as
he pleases with the rights, interests,
lives and property of the American
people, is desperate political game
ster in whose hands the ballot is as
deadly weapon as is slung shot

EXPOSING A MEDIUM.

Il
1t may just as well be generally
known, in skeptical or Indifferent cir
cles as well as in those circles where
everything and everybody labellec
''spiritualistic" are allowed without
question or grimace, that Miss c. E.
Wood, the medium, whose imposture
was exposed the other day at Peter
borough, has for some years devoted
herself to the trade Or profession of
medium. She was one of the elect.
| was curious to see what the organ
of The Cause would have to say on the
subject. Well, / find that the mar
rator of the imposture is the person
at whose house the seance took
place--himself Spiritualist. The
statement is not without its peculiar
value. He says: "After sitting for
two hours, form draped in white
came from the cabinet, then immedi-
ately retired. Then the suppose 'Po-
cha came out in white, to small ta-
bic i'll front of me, played two small
music boxes, gave some sweets to a
gentleman, kissed a lady, and chatted
for some minutes. Then Mr.. Cade.
who is medium, and sitter at Mr..
Chapman's circle at Stamford, who sat
on my left hand, suddenly seized the
supposed 'Pocha' and instead of lit

The Fair is Over.

The Fourth Annual Fair. of the
Mississippi Exposition Association has
closed The stalls so lately filed with
spirie horses are ,tenantless; the pens
that last week contained 80 many fine
specim' rs of cattle, sheep, goats and
hogs have scattered their wealth among
the progressive farmers of the praries
and hills of this garden region; the wind
whirls the dust in the speed ring where
80 lately noble steeds contended for
mastery; the seats of the amphitheatre
are no longer pressed by the beauty and
chivalry of rival States and counties,
Floral Hall with its wonders and myste-
ries of yesterday is as voiceless now as a
cavern; the judges stand is left to shed
it's armor of whitewash in the winters
rain, and the vast multitude that last
week crowded every path, and house are
distributed here there and everywhere,
and sit is finished"
The Fair has been great success and
the good seeds scattered will bring forth
fruit for noble harvest in many places,
and those who were with us and of MS
during the busy week will carry kind
thoughts of us in their hearts through
many eventful days; and those whom
God bids larry here below will come TO
us again and again, and always meet
with hearty welcome.

A Painful Accident to DIR. Alba
OfMObile.

In front of the Ampitheatre there
is semicircular "turn out" from the
track, at the judges stand on the
Fair Grounds, and on Friday when
the horses came in on the half mile
dash one Of them flew the track and
running against DR.. P. f, Alba, the
distinguished trainer and veterinary
surgeon of Mobile, knocked him
down and senseless, and threw its
rider. Dr's Green and Evans were
at his side in moment, and he was
rapidly restored to consciousness and
sent in carriage to the Gordon
House.
This position is always regarded
as dangerous on race course and
those who are admitted to it-only a
very few-are always notified to
step in the enclosure under the
judges stand, but the Dr's. attention
was diverted and relying perhaps
upon his great experience in such
affairs he was.unusually careless.
The DR.. was here for the purpose
of purchasing stock for Mobile, and
we greatly regret this, the only &C.
cident of the fall meeting.
He is doing well and will not sus-
tain any permanent injury.

Gen. BufOrsl's Address.

Gen. ABR BUFoRD, the gallant soldier,
brilliant orator. and veteran of the
Southern turf, was introduced to the vast
audience at the Fair Grounds ampithea,
tire on Thursday by E. Fl. Bristow Esq.
in fitting manner, and delivered a
beautiful address. Among other things
he:.alluded to the banner presented to his
command by the Ladies of Columbus
during the war, mentioning among Others
of the donors the names of Miss Annie
Forte-now Mrs. W. Fl. McCardle-and
Miss Regina Harrison-now Mrs. Stephen
D. Lee, Miss Bessie Harris and Miss
Askew. This banner was borne through
every subsequent engagement, and he
has it now, n precious relic, riddled by
hundreds of bullets and tattered by the
storms of battle.
In reference to his treatment and that
of his command in East Mississippi dur
ing the war, he spoke touching'y and
gratefully, ami coming again to our
country lin these piping times of peace,
he said he was surprised and astounded
to see the many evidences of thrift,
enterprise and progress that attracted
his attention on every side, and predict
ed the most astonishing advancement in
the early futurr.
AT the request of many he devoted a
few moments to his favorite theme of
reconciling church and turf, and those
who heard all confessed the strength of
the argument. We wish he could have
given us longer address.

CREMATION IN ENGLAND.

The Cable dispatches of yesterday
reported the cremation of two ladies'
in England in pursuance of their ex-
pressed wishes. 1t is the first time
since the occupation of that country
by the Romans that this form of dis.
posing of the bodies of the dead has
occurred. Lady Amberly, the wife
of son of Lord John Russell, left
similar directions, but the crema-
ton took place at Milan, Italy. More
recently the body of an Englishman
of fortune was, by the instruction left
behind him, conveyed to Milan and
burned, but an English court refused
to allow the executrix the expenses
incurred, on the ground that the de-
scendent had no property in his body
and could not dispose of it as he
pleased. The burning of the body of
the poet Shelly, drowned in storm
in the bay of Spezia, and cremated by
Lord Byron and other friends after
the old Roman fashion will be remem
bered by most readers who have read
the biographies of the two English
poets. In Italy there have been
many instances of cremation, and on
some occasions preceded by the cere-
monies of the church. In this coun-
try the instances have been few, and
there does not appear to have been
any serious objection raised to this
mode of urn burial as it has been
called. If the cremation Of Lady and
Mrs. Hanham should pass without a
prosecution of the persons concerned
in it, and without denunciation from
the clergy, it is quite possible that
the example thus set will be followed
by many others. Many English physi-
clans and scientific men have declar-
ed themselves in favor of cremation
but the chief argument against it,
and to some minds it will prove a
strong one, is that the process might
be used to cover up crime, and espec-
cially in cases of poisoning g.-Balti

The Baltimore American Wash
ington says: Rather neat little story
grows out of recent visit of Senator
Malone, of Virginia, to the Govern
ment Printing Offic. Malone, it ap-
pears, desired the removal of print
er by the name of Mills, but Public
Printer Rounds objected, saying:
"This man is good printer;l g is faith
full and industrious, and, besides, was
appointed at the request of Congress
man Dezendorf, to whom l am under
obligations. "But l insist upon his
removal" Malone replied excitedly,
"and unless you remove him now, |
will appeal to the President" Mr..
Rounds, not wishing to incur the dis
pleasure of Virginia's great boss, con-
cluded to remove Mills. He sent for
the young man, and informed him OF
his dismissal in the presence OF
Malone. Mills protested at first, but
had to submit,and turned to leave the
room, followed by Malone, who seem
ed to be very much pleased. Before
they left the room, however, Mr.
Rounds called them back, saying
"Gentleman, this thing has not been
settled to my satisfaction. Senator
you are satisfied, suppose, that Mr.
Mills, as a Virginian, has been re-
moved at your request" 81 am, most

oldest of all defensive methods is
