Since Jan. l, Liza, 377 packages of
domestic cottons have been exported, ex-
ccedng the exports for the same period last

IT is now shown by the report of the
ceipts of the country have been curtaied
only TO the amount of S5,237,6 Sos.
The postal-note, says a Washington
telegram, does not grow i'm popular favor.
It's friends admit that it has not met with
their expectations. Reports from all sec
tons show that, as substitute for the money
order the postal-note is failure. The sales
do not increase, and people are not disposed
b adopt the note for the transmission of
money except where small amounts are in
volved. The sale of the postal-note has thus
far not decreased the use of the money-order
except in very rare instances.
There appears to be little question,
says n Washington telegram, that there will
be a reorganization of the offices of the
Senate. 1t has been thought that Malone and
RiddleberPer might not vote with the Repub-
licans, but the treatment which both have
received since the Virginia election removes
all doubt on that score. Candidates for the
Senate Offices are, therefore, preparing for
vigorous campaign.

LAKE REGION LIGHTHOUSES.
Washington Telegram. ]

The report of the Lighthouse board says
the Eleventh Lighthouse district upper
lake regionl contains III separate light sta
tions and embraces $500 statute miles of lake
coast The district has become so large that
It has become unwieldy. No Inspector can
perform his other duties and visit each of its
III light stations once each three months, as
required by the regulations for the inspec-
ton Of the lights and the payment of the
keepers, as the stations are too numerous
and too far apart. The completion of the
Northern Pacific railroad has given a stimu-
lus TO the navigation of the upper lakes.
and IL Is evident that as the commerce of
the upper lakes increases additional
lights and more buoys will be required. Ii il
therefore recommended that the Lighthouse
district which embraces the upper lakes be
divided; that the portion which embraces
Lake Michigan and Green Bay be set of and
called the Seventeenth Lighthouse district,
with headquarters Mt Milwaukee, and that
the portion which embraces Lake Huron and
Lake Superior be set of, retaining the old
name, with headquarters at Detroit. The in
crease in the aids TO navigation over the num-
Der I'm 1852, when the district was constituted,
and the prospective increase in the near fu !.
ture makesthe division quite necessary.

An Old Mans Barbarous Treatment at the
Hands of Colorado Robbers.
Denver Colo Telegram. !


At Petersburg Grove, seven miles from this
city, resides an Old bachelor farmer named
Peter Olsen, who usually kept small sums of
money about his premises. At night four
disguised men went to the house and knocked.
The farmer asked the visitors TO come in. AS
soon as all were inside they seized Olsen,
threw him on the floor, and demanded sto
know where his money was. He replied that
he had none. After thoroughly searching
the house 10 no purpose, Olsen still refusing
TO tell where the money was hidden,
the robbers got willow switches and
whipped their victim on the bare feet
and legs until they were covered with
blood Olsen still refusing them, they built
n large fire in the back yard and carried him
ost, and proceeded 10 execute their threat 10
burn him alive. They placed his feet in the
fire, and literally roasted them. Even this
terrible treatment did not induce him to give
up his hidden treasure. He was then COM
PEELED TO walk back to the house, where a
scufiie ensued, during which the stove was
overturned, disclosing box containing 5000,
which the robbers took and decamped There
is no clew 10 their identity. Olsen will prob
ably recover.
