A Hartford gentleman wrote to the
secretary Of the general delivery Of
the postoffice 81 London for informa-
ton as to the general delivery of mail
matter in England and received reply
that there is no village and but few
hamlets IN the United Kingdom with
out delivery of letters from house to
house. In some thinly inhabited dis
tricts letters are not delivered every
dav. hut twice or three times a week,
Int with rare exceptions letters are de-
livered even in the rural districts six
DAYS in the week, ifnot seven. The
Frequency Of the delivery depends upon
the number of letters. the hours of the
arrival Of the mails and the cost Of pro-
viding the service. As rule all towns
and most of the considerable villages
have deliveries from house to house
twice dav. OF the go head postofices
thirty have one delivery per day, $50
have two. $50 have three, ll5 have four,
seventeen have five, six have six, and
ore liverpool has seven daily deliy-
cries.

NOAH'S ARK.
Finding the Ancient Vessel in Ola
Cter on Mount Ararat

Ct6r on Mount Ararat
A Constantinople newspaper an
nounces the discovery of Noah's ark. 1t
appears that some Turkish commits
sioners appointed to investigate the ques-
ton of avalanches on Mount Ararat sud-
denly came upon a gigantic structure OF
very dark wood protruding from glac-
Ter. They made inquiries of the inhab-
itants %. LIS in their report. These
had seen it for six years. but had been
afraid to approach it, because a spirit of
fierce aspect had been seen looking out
of the upper window. Turkish commits
sioners, however, are bold men, not de-
TERED by such trifles, and they deter
minded to reach it. Situated as it was
among the Businesses of one of the glens
of Mount Ararat, it was a work of enor-
nous difficulty, and it was only alter in
credible hardships that they succeeded.
The ark, one will be glad to hear, was
in good state of preservation, although
the angles-observe, not the bow or
stern-had been good deal broken in
it at once. There was an
Englishman among them who had pre-
sumably read his Bible, and he saw that
it was made of the ancient gopher wood
of scripture, which, as every one knows,
only grows on the plains of the Euphra-
ties. Effecting an entrance into the
structure, which was painted brown,
they found that the admiralty require
inents for the conveyance of horses had
been carried out, and the interior was
divided into partitions fifteen feet high.
Into three of these only could they get,
the others being full of ice, and how far
the ark extended into the glacier they
could not tell. If, however, on being
uncovered, it turns out to be 500 cubits
long, it viii 60 hard with disbelievers in
the Book of Genesis. Needless to say,
says the Psll Mall Gazette, IAN Ameri-
can was soon on the spot and negotiations
have been entered into with the local
pasha for its speedy transfer to the
United States"

YOU.

IT could have my dearest wish fulfilled,
And take my choice of all earth treasures,
too,
Or.choose from heaven whatsoe'er willed,
I'd ask for you.
No man I'd envy, neither low nor high,
Nor king in castle old or palace new.
I'd hold Golconda's mixes less rich THAN l,
If had you.
Toll and privation, poverty and care
Undaunted I'd defy, nor fortune WOO.
Having my wife, no jewel else I'd wear,
Ifshe we're you.
Little I'd care how lovely she might be-
How graced with every charm, how iona,
how true;
Fen though perfection, she be nsught to
Were she not you.
There is more charm for my true LOVING
heart,
In every thing you think or say or do.
Than all the joys that heaven could eei
impart,
Because it's you.

civil Rinhta nocisinn

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-A decision was reu-
dered by Judge Mills in the police court to-day
in the civil rights case Of Rev. George IT,
Smith (colored) OF Norwich, Conn, against
James W. Bell proprietor of restaurant
The ground OF com plant was that the defend
ant had denied the aco0mmo latlOns of his res
t&urant to the plaintiff account of the latters
color, and suit was brought TO enforce the
criminal provisions OF the act of March i,
1875. The court holds that
Under the common law an ina keeper is bound tC
take in and receive all travellers and wJyfarers. and
by the of March 1, SIS, it is made criminal tC
discriminate against travellers on account of race
and color or previous condition Of servitude." A
restaurant keeper has a right to establish certain
regulations as to hours Of meals, and 70 designate
certain places seats for customers but such hours
and seats must be the same for all. or if any dis
principle or for some reason that the law recog-
nizes just and reasonable, and not
on account OF color, race or previous
condition. All guests Of an iun restaurant must
be given equal privileges and places designated for
them; must be accessible to all respectable persons
at a uniform rate of charges. From these pruci-
pies it follows that the defendant in discriminating
color was guilty of misdemeanor aud incurred the
penalty prescribed by the second section of the
civil rights act of 1879. Judgement is entered &C.
cordingly.
This case is in some respects a novel one,
since it is the first attempt to enforce the pen
atty under the second section of the civil rights
ACT, which makes a violation of the law mis-
demesnor, and it is the fret effort made to en-
force the criminal provisions of the law in a
Territory where Congress has exclusive and
absolute legislative jurisdiction.

The most earnest advocates Of the Ed

complete failure. 1t was supposed by
DISTINGUISHING olygamists, and placing
the electoral machinery in the hands of a
commission authorized by Congress the
anti-M ormon voters would be able TO
control the Territorial Legislature of
Utah. The recent election has served
10 dispel this illusion The Mormons
had things pretty much their own way
and the Legislature is overwhelmingly
under their control Members of the
