The Post office Department explsins
that the order of May last about mail
matter held for postage does not
autliciize the ueteItfon of any letter.
but when the postage is ei,ort paid, SO
that the law forbids it to be for-
warded. ifthe postmaster has no clue
to the writer, the order directs him
to send card to the person address
sed. Ifthe postage Is rernitted he
gets the letter before 1t goes to the
Dead-Letter Odicc. Postmasters are
not permitted to return letters which.
have no other ll.nt Of request than
tho printed name of ahot.l. Tie
statute permits the return only Of
letters upon the outside of which the
writer has Endorsed his name and
address. A rule of the Department
permits letters to besreturned which
bear designated place to which they
may be returped.f A hotel isla place
to which letters might be returned,
but it 10 place that il exclnded by
the rule, for prudent reasons that
the statues of the Dead-Letter. Office
show that If such letters were re-
turned to the hotel three hundred

Ths Constitutional A..sd.ent.

The last general assembly adopted
an amendment to our state constitu-
tion, which, if ratified by . majority
of the votes at the election this fall,
will become part OF our fundament-
al law. The provisions ofthe amend.
ment are as follows: The governor
shall receive an annual salary of five
thousand dollars and fifteen hundred
dollars for private secretary; the
judges of the supreme court shall re.
ceive an annual salary Of fve thons.
and dollars, and the judges of the dis
trict courts four thousand dollars.
In order that voters may understand
the effect of the adoption or defeat Of
said amendment we give the salaries
as provided by law. The last eener-
81 assembly enacted law providing
that the governor should receive IN
annual salary OF five thousand dol
lars and fifteen hundred dollars for 0
private secretary, and the judges OF
the supreme court and district courts
five thousand dollars FER anuum. So
it will be seen that the apparent effect
Of the adoption of the amendment
would be to decrease the salary of the
district judges one thousand dollars
per annum.
But there is c constitutional pro.
vision to the following effect: "No
law shall increase or diminish the
salary or cmolumcnts Of any publie
officer after his election or sppoint.
ment." Therefore, II the amesdmssl
is not adopted ,ks governor and III,

Streets Spriukled.

As IL is well know that two or
three successive days without rain,
leave our streets quite dusty; the me-
cessity of constant sprinkling 10 very
apparent. particularly to business
men on main street. From what
we learn from observation aud other
sources, the old fashioned method CT
spriukling by wagon is preferable to
the hose for these reasons. 1t IL
much more economical, Is the wear
and tear of the hose by being dragged
through the streets is very great and
although by the latter means the
water conveyed is in greater qdan-
titles, we do not think this an ati-
vantage, as the streets are made So
muddy, that it is difficult to cross
them for some time even ut the
regular crossing. Dust of course is
worry Objectionable. but mud is worse.

+ Fooling Joe.

Joe, the chimpanzee, used to be let out
III the morning for exercise, and when
the time came for going to the cage de-
lighted in keeping just out of the reach
OF Sutton, his keeper. No amount Of
bribery Of fruit or sweets would cause
him to descend from his perch. To what
passion OF the monkeys mind could am
appeal be made and in what form was
that appeal to be presented Mr., Bart
lett, the superintendent, had observed
that two weak points in Joe's character
We're curiosity and cowardice, and he
therefore approached the keeper in a
mysterious manner and pretended to
point out to him some strange monster
in the dark passage underneath the gas
pipe, saying, Look out! there he is!
there he is!n This worked upon Joe's
fears and curiosity until he gradually
came close to the passage, grooming with
agitation. Then Mr.. Bartlett and the
keeper, crying, Hes coming out: mes
coming out.' fled as if in great alarm
toward Joe's house, with the effect of in
ducing Joe to rush into it himself at top
speed. Joe, Mr.. Buckland adds, never
found out the trick, with which he was
repeatedly taken in.-1he Saturday Re
