Little Story About Postmaster James
 Washington Letter to the Boston Hsrzld-I
 Let me tell you 8 good story of Tom James, " said our friend, warming up under the influences of the hour. What you found out James to be- his Nez York friends knew long ago. He is amiable egotist and humbug At the annual dinner of the Palette club, given some years ago, ChAuncey De- pew toasted the visitors, and ID one of his inimitable speeches, named every one in turn, giving to each some little quib or jest ing fllip. When be reached James he said Let me tell you something of our wonderful ly ethcIent city postmaster of whom we are so proud l, in common with many of you have some cousins in the country, who look to me to put their young sons in the way of making their fortunes in our great city. One of these came to me some months ago, and said that the bent of his genius WAS toward place in the postofhce. Thereupon I called upon our friend James. I confess I was blessed and surprised at the warmth of my reception. He would be really delighted if he could serve me, ard, whenI told my er- rand, he said, Don't disturb yourself any more about this young man I will attend to his case myself. See, will put him down on my private list, for place at the very first opportunity. Now, my dear Depew, remember, he is on my private list, and he will hear from me almost immediately went home to tell the young man had real y unexpected success The thing was done, and he could send home for his baggage and be ready to go to work promptly. We'll, the youth stayed at my house and waited. I saw him daily at meals, and began to wish our friend James would look over that pri- yate list. After 8 month had thus gone by, I summoned spirit to go again to my friend James. Again I was received with impress ment. He was glad to see me. Could he do anything for me? oh, about that appoint meDt Why, yes, to be surel That is all right. By the by, what did I say about that appointment That would put it oz my private list Ah that accounts for it My dear Depew, I should have put it on my secret list There 1t is on my secret list. It is all right now. Don't give it another thought Well, gentlemen, never did I made that young man baggage smasher on the Central railroad, and his name is still on the secret list of our genial friend, the post master of New York The laugh on James was tremendous, and he dld not enjoy it at all No one doubted the absolute truth of the anecdote. It was true to life"

A practical use is to be made in England of the power of oil to still tumultuous sea. The river Tyne commissioners are about to erect, in connection with the new harbor works at Tynemouth, number of oil tanks, so that oil can, when necessary, be used to prevent the sea from breaking against the pier at the entrance of the river Numerous recent experiments with oil show that it is effectual in counteraeting heavy seas.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Wool Growers Association of Texas has adopted resolution to support no man for Congress who does not advocate the pro- lection of that interest against importations. beef from this country to England has fallen away to almost nothing, and is likely to cease altogether. This of course is the natural consequence of the high prices which prevail at home. The shipment of cattle to England has been overdone, and it is just as well that it should be temporarily suspended.

The blood is the foundation of life, it circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system the onLy sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.

Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, was 10th to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daugh- ter had taken one bottle of BRowN's IRON BIrrERs, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health, A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said "Tonics were re- quired; and when informed that the elder sister was taking BRowN's IRON BITTERS, responded "that is a good tonic, take it."

The common council of Salem, Mass, has set good example by prohibiting the sale in that city of the deadly toy pistol. It was shown that at Baltimore, last year, 80 or 90 deaths were caused by these dreadful play things, at Philadelphia 50 or 70, and at Bos- ton 20 or 30, not to mention numberless mi nor accidents. The mayor of Philadelphia has taken the trouble to go around personally and order the sale of the pistols discontin- ued.
 Henry B. Anthony, who has just been elected to the United States Senate by the Rhode Island Legislature for the fifth time, first entered the Senate in 1859, and for some time has been the senior member of that body in continuous service. If he should live to complete the term for which he is now elected, and he may well do so, for he is but sixty seven years old, his period of continu. ous service in the Senate will equal the long, est in the history of the country, that of the Missouri statesman of a past generation, Thomas H.

The Charleston, S. C., NeaoS, in treating of Professor Von Holst's constitutional work, thus restates tn position of the South in regard to our civil war: "The war was not undertaken by the North for the suppress sion of slavery, and the emancipation procla nation was a military necessity, not a phi lanthropic act, The Southern States seeded in order to secure to themselves the justice, the domestic tranquility and the general wei fare which the Union no longer gave them l; and the Northern States only made enamel patton their slogan when they found that they could not as easily prevail without it. Back of the general reasons for secession was slavery as a special reason and behind the cry for the Union was the abolition propa- ganda. The South did not secede for the maintenance of slavery, but to ensure the right of self government; and the North did not invade the South as the representative and champion of universal freedom"
