After having entered the tent of Davis
and accomplished his capture, q trav.

baggage there was, containing a shirt
and three collars, besides children'l

distributed them among themselves

A THRIFTY ASSIST ANT POSTMAs'
TER GENERAL.
from H.rnsr,. Weekly.1

We called attention last summer to
,hs singullr circumstances of an ad-
vertisement announcing the connec-
ton of Mr.. Frank Hatton, the frat
assistant postmaster-general, with a
western newspaper for which post
masters were requested to act as
agents. This advertisement was print
ed iu the official Postal Guide, and
whatever its intention, it had pre-
sumably the effect of persuading post
masters whose terms were about 8X-
plring that the chances of re-appoint-
meut would not be diminished by zeal
in procuring subscriptions for the
paper in which the frat assistant
postmaster general was interested.
Another Incident of the same kind
has just been reported. Every re
publican member Of congress recently
found upon his desk a package of
autographed letters, with a request
from First Assistant Postmaster-Gen-
eral Hatton that the members would
sign them aud return them to him.
These letters were addressed TO the
postmasters in the districts of the
various members, requesting them to
secur subscriptions 10 Il Washington
newspaper which has recently passed
under the control OF First Assistant
Postmaster-Gen.ral Hatton. The let
tiers, which were provided with the
heading of the house of representa-
tives, would thus have appeared to be
u spontaneous request from the men,
Der of congress to the local postmas-
ter. whom he practically appoints. to
tout for the newspaper of The first as.
sistant acknowledgement, who could
remove him. This Ia at least q thrifty
proceeding. But If the facts are as
reported from Washington, including
u copy Of the letter, it is a proceeding
into which the president might well
iGOuire.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES.
Democrats Monthly for Decsmber.l

[Demorest's Monthly for Decsmber.1
1t is no wonder that Americans take
naturally to arithmetic. We love
ciphering, because all the tables we
compile reveal great national pro.
gress. The census shows, that while
in 1870 we had 5,922, 81 agricuIturists,
the number increased in 1880 to 1O,-
10000. In 1870 we had 2,7O7, 421 MAJ
uiaclurers. which number increased in
1880 to $3.50, 900. The wages in u
manufacturing establishments increas-
ed from 1878, S78, 966 iu 1860 to 81, $780,
900, 900 IN 1880. Then look at the vast
accumulation of property in this coun-
try. In 1900 the weslsh OF England
was estimated at 5000, OOO, 900, whiie
the United States was but little over
1000, DOC, 900. In 1880 the figures stood:
Great Britain, $4,000, 900, 900; the
United States, $500, 900, 900. These
are gigantic sums and represent enor-
nous growth. The United States to.
day is the richest nation Oh tho globe,
and its accumulations arc the result
not OF economy, but of q wise mani
pulation of the forces OF nature. Vast
as has been the accumulation of our
wealth. it is nothing 10 what the future
censuses will show, for it is not too
extravagant TO hope that by 1850 the
United States will not only be the
most populous nation in the world,
but that its wealth will be greater than
the accumulated riches of all Europe.
