POSTAL SERVICE ECONOMY.
Results OF Honest Work In tho Depart.

WASHINGTON, October l4.-It was m.
noppnced some time ago that The books Of
the Post Ssice Department would show,
for the fiscal year which ended on June
80, 1882, Il surplus Of receipts over ex.
penditures amounting to sl,5OoOO0. The
official figures were given To- the public
to-day, and they show a surplus which
slightly exceeds that sum. The total re.
ceipts were Sil,s76,4l0 Is, and the total
expenditures 0,030, GA IS, so that the ap.
parent surplus was 81 $3.50, 775 40. From this
sum, however, must b. sub,racted liabili.
ties to the amount OF about 100000, leav-
ing the actual surplus little more than
$l,500,000. The cost Of the star route SCI.
vice by land was more than s, 100000 less
than the sum appropriated for it. The a,,.
preparation was S7,900,000, while the ser
vice cost only S., 704,0 ,0G6, leaving s., ,l05, ,5s4
ol the appropriation unexpended. There
is still to be paid on this account from
SEQ, 900 to $4,000, but the amount uncx.
pended cannot fall below Sc 100000. The
amount oil the appropriation was governed
by Brady, whose estimate OF the cost OF the
service for the year was $S,26O,0OO. Not.
withstanding the great increase in cost, the
number Of accounts for star service was
greater by S.42o, or about Il per cent, than
in the previous year. 'lai "a G!ia .o4l
With the star service by land should be
considered the star service by water, or
steamboat service. The appropriation wus
s925. 600, Of which only $5G3,5O5 was used,
leaving S}6l, 1855 unexpended. Brady's
estimate, which Congress slightly reduced,
was 81 100000. The departments work OF
revision after Brady's removal was directed
toward both Of these branches OF the ser.
vice The cost Of both for the year was
s2,557. 900 less than the appropriations, and
abouts3 ,OOo, 900 less than Brady estimates.

Two midde-aged sedate women, moth
ers of grown-up sons and daughters,
were recently giving to each other Incl
dents in the history of their lives.
Young people would look for duh com
monplace in such narratives, but if we
want to reach the really dramatic and
romantic features Of life, we shall be
most apt to find them in the experience
of the middle-a aged.
One of these women, soon alter her
marriage, while walking along at twi-
light, had witnessed quarrel between
two men whom she knew; which ended
by one-the smaller and weaker-stab-
bing the other to the heart. She shrieked
and fell unconscious.
When she revived the murderer was
bending over her. He was a friend of
her husbands, a good young fellow" as
she expressed it, young physician
struggling TO make home for his wife
and children.
He told her, in an agony of remorse,
how terrible had been his provocation.
He had buried the body. 1t was for her
to say whether he should 90 back TO his
home and duty, and try to repent of his
deed, or should end his life on the gal.
lows. She was weak and yielded to his
entreaties, and promised to guard his
secret, even from her husband.
For thirty years" said she, that secret
lay upon me as nightmare horror. The
murdered mau was missed, but his body
was never found, and no suspicion ever
fell on his murderer.
81 knew he never trusted me, and
used to fancy at night, as l fell asleep,
he would somehow put me and my hus.
band to death to secure his own safety,
When he died, and ! could tell the
whole story to my husband, felt then
at last was fit TO be called his wife"
The other woman said, 81 think my
secret load has been as heavy TO carry as
yours, yet it only consisted of few
foolish love-letters.
'I wrote them when | was sixteen, TO
an idle, silly boy, with whom | had a
Irritation. They were full of sentiment
and passion, which / thought very fine
and true at the time.
when was twenty married noble,
a true gentleman, whom | loved with my
whole heart. Ny hrst lover became a
gross, bloated rutlian, the frequenter Of
bar-rooms and gambling hells.
But he had my letters, and when !
met him his leer and knowing smile re.
minded me that he had them. Through
all my married life, when | was most
happy in my husbands love, when my
boy S began TO grow into manhood, the
knowledge that those letters were in the
world was like whip of scorpions to
me-"
How many young girls who read The
Companion are preparing just such misery
or shame for themselves?
| 1t is a safe rule, girls, never TO write a
word to young men, or permit any liberty
to them ofwhich you would blush to tell
your mother. You will never then have
reason TO blush lefore husband and son.

Cyclone Incidents.
Youths Companion.

The cyclone is the terror Of India. A
porieutous calm whispers the warning
ard then, as sudden as the leap OF
tiger, the terrible whirwind burstsupon
sea and land. All the winds
Of heaven seem furious to Join the
rotary storm. The sun is hidden at mid
day. and at night the darkness may be
felt.
The whirling eddies rise mp in columns
Of water which fall like cataracts, The
lashed pillows, swelling with rage into
one large wave, rush past the coast, and
sweeping far inland, dash over forests
and villages.
Men, women and children seek a
refuge from the angry waters on roofs
and in trees. Thousands sometimes
perish amid the floating wrecks of their
homes. Many that the flood spares fall
by pestilerce, bred from rotton carcasscs
and decaying vegetation. At such times
1t seems rs though a second deluge
threatened the earth with no bow OF
mercy spanning the black heavens.
One of these rotary hurricanes whirl-
ed some years ago over the bay at Ben.

of one thousand five hundred tons, i
bore her on the crest Of storm wave
for long distance across the country
She finally brought up against rising
ground, where she laid for months, a
marvel to ever beholder.
A Scothman had charge Of gang OF
natives who were clearing the Jungle on
Sanger island, q long, lone, muddy flat
near the mouth of the Hooghly. For
several weeks large tiger, man-eater
annoyed them every night. 1t had car.
ried away some Of the animals and two
or three men.
A cyclone drove the water over the
island. As many natives as could swim
went to the Scotchman's bungalo. A,
last he noticed the dreaded tiger swim
ming for the house. Reaching it, the
frightened animal leaped on the versn.
dab, and trembling went through the
mass Of natives to the farthest corner
where it lay down, quivering with fear
The Scotchman, thinking that when
the storm abated the natural ferocity OF
the beast would assert itself, seized his
double-barrelled gun. Pointing at the
tigers heart he fred, and the brute
rolled over dead.

copies, and, moreover, the publishers
didn't care to increase the circulation
There was no profit in the circulation
anyhow, and so long as advertisements
could easily be obtained from American
storekeepers, who lsbored under the i'm
preston that by patronizing the sheet
they we're reaching "the Italian masses" "
the publishers were complacent. To re-
turn to the Wall street sheets, they were
all started with little or no capital, and
the most of them are doing excelently
if they furnish the means of subsistence
to one editor and one eundcrpaid reporter.
Some of them have naturally fallen into
the hands of certain Wall street Interests,
and have become very weak and harn-
lees Organs" Only two of them have

although all are published under the
shadow of the Stock Exchange, 1t If
doubtful if half the members of that in

one or two of them.
