The Boston Post, with characteristic
hippancy and disregard of facts, says that the
bill appropriating $3.50, 900 for a new post
Office in Augusta, ought not to pass. "There
is no need - such building" Our Boston
contemporary is slightly off its base. Even
know. The Augusta post office is one of
the most important in the country. 1t takes
some 30 men to do the business of the office,
and as many as 500 registered letters are
frequently received in one day. In amount
ofsecond- class matter mailed, it stands fifth
in the whole United States, sending of
in 1881, 3,25l.3ss pounds against T.
l63,075 pounds sent at Boston. 1t paid
into the department on secondclass matter,
s65,027.76, against Ss3, ,26l.5o paid by Bos-
ton. Its per cent of increase in business
over the preceding year is 46.6, against an in
crease of 1919 per cent in Boston. 4.61 per
cent of the total amount of second-class mat
ter collected in the United States came from
Augusta. and 5.95 per cent from Boston.
About 6,0OO,O 900 circulars are annually sent
from Augusta. All this vast business has to
be done in two offices, on opposite sides OF
the street, when it should all he un
der one roof Then the office OF
pension agent, collector of internal revenue,
mail inspector and L. s. commissioner
should be in the same building. instead of be-
ing scattered all up and down Water street
If the Boston Post will investigate, 1t will
blush at its own ignorance. especially wher
it looks at that uncompleted s4.Ooo'ooo pile

Speaking about big snakes" said MIR,
James n Wade, the truckman, to Journal
representative. Il can relate few incidents
which go to show that the race of monster
serpents is not extinct in Maine. Forty-hve
years ago Moses Morrill, of Augusta, lately
deceased, man of unimpeachable veracity'
was with large crew Of men drivings through
Brassua lake, which is partly fed by Moose
river, and which empties itself into Moose
head lake. The wind was against them, and
they had great many logs doomed in acove,
when some unseen monster passed from un-
der the logs and across the lake, causing
violent motion of the logs and making wake
In the water as large as boat rowed by four
men. They watched the wake of the animal
for about three miles, but nothing appeared
above water to show what it was. Nhlie
at work on Penobscot waters, MIR. Wm'
Annis of Greenfield saw, while crossing
kagle lake with two other men, snake
which they judged to be 30 feet long, raise
his head about six feet, eye them sharply for
few minutes and then as suddenly SINK
beneath the water. They had heard the story
before, but did not believe it till then. Ano
close at home, on the shore of Gould's pond
within one-fourth mile of Silver lake,
snake has been reported 25 or 80 feet long,
and as big round as a mans body. What
gives FEASIBILITY to the story is the fact ths'
occasionally the pond, and no other in that
vicinity, is 90 muddy that one cannot see IN
the water more than two or three inches, and
yet At all other times the water 10 very clear
With clean sand all around the shores."

81. Valentine,

With the advent of coarse caricatures the
day fell into disrepute, says the Belfast Jour-
nal, but the card mania has restored il TO
something Of its former estate, and il has
even become, in a sense, a rival of Christmas.
Inasmuch as it is made the occasion for ex-
changing handsome gifts which under other
circumstances could not be permissible. Orig
lnaliy It was lovers day. and still. as of yore,
Capids missives crowd the mails and delight
the females, though not to the exclusion of of
ferlngs Of friendship and remembrance. The
valentines offered purchasers this year are
certainly an advance upon any heretofore dis
played, and one need not pay high price to
obtain very pretty card, plain edged or
fringed. They are of innumerable sizes. as
they have been in former wears, but the pret-
tiest among those of moderate dimensions
have for background a solid mass of violcts,
apple blossoms or pansies. upon which lie a
gilt panel with picture of girl, and label
inscribed with sundry verses, referring to the
flowers and interpreting the supposed feelings
of the sender, unless, indeed. he is skilled
with the pen. and chooses to buy card with
blank label rather than to say:
"Violets are blue,
Loves eyes are bluer.
know, know,
Some mems hearts are true,
Maids hearts truer,
II is so, I is so.'
Saucy girls who wish to tease a lover even
while sending him token of affection, might
like the gray cards upon which shine golden
hearts almost covered by dainty button-hole
boquets OF carnation and Lady Pollock gera-
MUM tied with true blue ribbon. The poem,
printed in bright brown letters on either side
of the design, says:
"Girls shOun be modest. they say;
Still. on ST. Valentines Day,
suppose young maid NAV
Offer tiny bOQuet
And not wander far sstray
From perfection.
"Ony a leaf and a pink,
Surely at that one may wink
am still safe the brink,
Since have not said, think
That you are yourself the pink
Ofperfection."

NOT TO DIE.
Bill Riysrs's Sentence COMMITTED to
imprisonment for Life.

There is one completely happy man in
Memphis. His name is Bill Rivers. Under
the Influence Of Jealousy, drink and passion
he killed his wife some time ago, was tried
for it and sentenced to be hung. Friday week
Bill was to have mounted the scaffeld, but
yesterday his lawyer, T. F. Csssells, received
from the governor communication of the sem
tence to imprisonment for life, and ordered
that he be delivered to the warden of the
State prison. This almost unexpected de-
cision on the part of the governor isdue to the
arguments made by Colonel George CAN'T
and Mr.. VIM. Carroll, who espoused Rivers's
case without hope of any consideration, The
sentiment of the community is that the gov
ernor was justified in his action because there
was a doubt as TO whether Rivers had
committed murder or not. No doubt exists
about his killing his wife, but it was from all
accounts done in the heat of passion. The
sheriff is considerably relieved, and Rivers
is immensely SO. He was kept busy shaking
hands all day long, and was as happy IS
could be. Sandy Matthews, however, feels
more lonesome than ever. He derived some
consolation from the fact that Rivers was to
die with him, but now that he is to die alone,
his heart fails him.

THE FLooR-MANAGER
QUARANTINE.
Work of the National and State Boards
of Health for the Protection
OF Tennessee.

The National Board of Health has estab-
lished a quarantine of inspection at New
Orleans, beginning on the 18th instant, upon
the petition of the local Board of Health OF
Memphis, and upon the like request from the
State Boards of Health of Tennessee and Hi
nois. DR.. Stanford E. Chaille, of New Or
leans, is the Supervising inspector" for that
city, to whom is intrustsd the duty of exam
lining all water craft and railroads, and CIV
ing the certificates that they bring away
nothing "contraband of quarantine" like
duty is performed at Memphis, the city hav-
ing put Presidents Island at the disposal of
the National Board. The State Board of
Health of Tennessee has placed inspectors at
Decatur, Grand Junction, Corinth and Mem
phis, who will examine every freight train
and steamboat, barge, or other water ceaft,
to see they do not transgress the law on this
subject.
Commenting on the above news the Nash
vile Banner says: This timely precaution
OF the health authorities to protect the peo-
pie of Tennessee, and especially of Mem
phis, from an epidemic OF yellow-fever, is a
wise action-one well calculated to inspire
confidence. With such sentinels constantly
on duty the people can sleep securely, con-
scious of the fact that no invasion of disease
will occur, at least, for want of proper care
and caution. If the same precautions had
been observed in former years we should not
have that dark page on Tennessee's history
which records the epidemic of 1878 70.
That, however, gave birth to the State and
National Boards, and will, at least, result in
future immunity to our State. The cooper
alton of the State and National Boards
with the efficient local boards, is a powerful
lever in our favor. They work silently and
still We do not see their hand interposing
between US and danger, but we feel the effects
most sensibly when we see the epidemic
disc ase' receding from our borders. 1t is to
be hoped our people will sustain the Health
Boards in evsry possible way-more espec-
tally by reporting promptly the beginning OF
every epidemic or contagious disease. With
prompt notice we are satisfied they will do

A COW-THIEF CAUGHT.
The Barbs of a Wire Fence Were Too
Much for Him-It Secured Him
for the Constable.

Another well-known cow-thief is in
trouble. 1t is an old offense, for which he
was arrested yesterday, returning from Missis-
sippi, where he had been living nearly year.
John Mclean hourished in Memphis a
cow-thief and chicken-thief for long time;
but last year he stole one COW too many, and
found it necessary to change his base: To
give the history of the transaction which has
brought John into the custody of the State,
we will begin at the beginning. Sometime
last year. Mr.. W. p. Gather heard OF the
sale of COW that he thought must have
been stolen. He advertised in the APPEAL
that he knew of the whereabouts OF stolen
COW. Mr.. Lake, who had recently lost a
COW, went to Mr.. Gather and learned where
the supposed stolen COW was. II proved to
be Mr.. Lakes property, and lie learned that
John Mclean had sold it. But the expert
cow-thief got away, and his whereabouts
remained unknown till yesterday, when Mr..
Gather met him on the fernando road near
the city. He inquired of John where he was
living, and was informed that he had recently
been domiciled at fernando. Il want you,
John" said Mr.. q. The negro did not in
quire why he was wanted, but took to his
heels. Mr.. Dooley, who was working gang
on the road, being informed by Gather, took
