The suggestion which has been made
that the Postofice Department establish
special rates and corps Of special mes
sengers for letters needing more speedy
delivery than is now obtained by the
carrier system, is not very good one
A first.rate system Of delivery by carriers
should accomplish oil that can be desired
in respect to all letters. II would not
be possible to make class of preferred
letters that would not to some extent
take the attention of postmasters and
their assistants away from other letters.
In all cities where the system might be
Of any advantage a similar service is
very we'll performed now by means OF
messengers, district telegraphs and tele-
phones. II, therefore, in any city the
delivery oE letters eau bo FASTENED in
any way, it should be donc for all letters
alike. In the city of London postal de.
livery has been 80 perfected that the
mails are made use Of for lending invita-
tons to dinner, and the like,

In his last annual report as comman'
der OF the Division Of Missouri, General
sheridan explains the numerous deser-
tions from tho Army. He says that
many young men of the East, anxious to
follow the advice OF the late Mr.. Greeley,
but not possessed of sufficient money for
the purpose, enlist and are brought to
the West at the expense of the Govern
ment. As a salvo to their consciences,
they complain OF the rations IA well as
Of the work they are called upon to do.
After longer or shorter period of COM
plant, they desert. The General com.
plains that the communities to which
they 20 are very frequently in sympathy
with them; and, not considering deser.
tlon crime, give them every possible
aid and comfort in eluding capture, This
ia sn old trick, and in the days OF 49
was adopted by many young fellow
anxious to reach FL Dorado. A witty
Eastern cotempprary is of opinion that
the state Of affairs complained of by
General Sheridan 10 not so bad after all,
since II assures the country that the
Army really is good for something, If
this be nothing more than vehicle to
aid in populating the West.

Common Errors,

Beside and besides are not synony.
nous, yet are very frequently used SO by
writer's. Beside" means by me side of;
"besides" means in addition to. Some
of our native editors, afflicted with
Webstelianism in Its most ultra form,
not only always use "beside" where
"besidesn would be better, but religi-
ously deprive "besides" of its final
when found in articles copiol from other
papers. Similarly afterwards" ito.
wards" the forms almost universally
prevalent in British journals and in pop.
uar speech in both England and this
country, are commonly clipped in the
same way when printed in American
papers. Almost every English novel
reprinted by Harper & Brothers is tn Q
maugled, though they have for yea Q
announced that each work published iu
their "Standard Series" is unabridged
and unaltered. To spell "honour"
honor, OF traveller" trareler, is quite
as great liberty as we are entitled to
take with British authors spelling.
In this case we still preserve the same
sound as il the or the were retained;
but it is nothing short of gross imperti-
nence to clip tho from afterwards, +"
''towards," backwards" forwards,
or even-though the is here repellant
to an American eye--from "eastwards"
and "westwards." Such tribes are part
OF the style Of an author, and it is none
Of the editors, printers or proof-reader's
husinessito alter them. -ErehaEge.

THE successful holding, year after
year, of State industrial fair by the me-
groes Of North Carolina is sufficient
proof not only of marked increase OF
the physical aud mental resources Of the
oolored race, but that there ia a cordial
understanding existing among the eoloSd
people and their former masters. When
not disturbed temporarily by demagogues
like Malone, this understanding is gen.
oral throughout the South, where whites
and blacks have united in remarkable
and successful effort for the lasting pros.
perity OF that section. 4 colored peo.
pies State fair is, however, still peculiar
to North Carolina. The blacks take
just pride in the institution, and the
whites give II substantial assistance. The
Legislature Of the State makes annual
appropriations TO both white and colored
fairs. The fifth annual fair of the negroes
has been held lately at Raleigh. 1t was
held on grounds belonging to the state,
their use being granted free OF charge.
The secretary of the association, pu.
latto, Immediately previous to the open
ing had spent weeks in travelling about
the State in its interest. The fair was
opened by a procession. In the line
were the carriages OF the Governor and
other officials OF the State, surrounded
by many. hucd marshals and preceded bya
colorod brass band, The president of the
association, negro bearing the singularly
African name of John O'kelly, rode in q
carriage with distinguished guests. On
the grounds the display of poultry, nota-
bly, game chickens. was remark able

military drills, contests OF fremen, and
the like, filled mp tho intervals. Gov
ernor Jarvis, who, like his predecessor,
Governor Vance, takes Grea. interest in
the well being of the oolored race, made
q very admirable speech. He said,
among other things, that he knew OF no
State where the negroes were doing 30
much for themselves, nor where so
much is being done for them. All this
took place. oh, Republican brethren, in
the negro.hatine South, where the
colored mau is in constant jeopardy OF
his life, and where, just before a Presi-
dental election, the fierce Ku.Klux
breakfasts on cOlored children fried in

Tho Benefits or Lemonade.

Most people know the value Of LEM
onade before breakfast, but few know
how 1t is more than doubled by taking it
at night also. The way to get the better
OF a bilious system without the use Of
pills OF quinine is to take the juice Of
one, two or three lemons, as the appe.
tite Graves, in as much ice.water as
makes it pleasant to drink, without
sugar, before going to bed. In the
morning on rising, or half an hour be.
fore breakfast, take the juice of one
lemon in a goblet of water. This will
clear the system OF humors and bile
with aild efficiency, without any Of the
weakening effects of ealomel or Congress
water.
People should not irritate the stomach
by eating lemons clear. The powerful
acids Of the juice, which is almost cor.
rosive, invariably produces infiamma-
tion after awhile, but diluted so that 1t
does not burn or draw the throat, it does
its fall medical work without harm, and
when the stomach is clear Of food has
abundant opportunity to work on the
system thoroughly.

WHILE the electric wires continue to
be burdened with accounts of terrible
crimes, the honest man will note with
satisfaction here and there among these
tidings news Of the swift descent of the
trcnchant blade OF Justice. II is as
though tho goddess, womnnlike, insists
on pushing the bandage at least OF the
corner OF one oYe. And in our own
community, which has been recently the
scene Of horrible crimes, an upright
Cour; and rightminded juries have
shown that, so far as in them lies,
wrong shall be relressed, In the cases
of the two murdorers sentenced for life,
while many think that the death penalty
should have been inflicted, they hope
that possibly the days Of those men may
be long in the home their country has
provided for them. Tho case OF the
burglar who, within lees than third part
Of day after bis errest in the very act,
was sentenced 10 50 imprisonment of ten
years, ia justice that savors Of the courts
Of that much maligaed country, New
Jersey And here be it said there is
something wrong IN the law hch
awards to . woman legally accessory TO
the murder OF her husband after the
fact, but morally as guilty OF the deed
az the paFanour who slew him. only five
years of imprisonment, while a man
whose sins nre relatively as white us
snow, is made to suffer ten. The burg.
lar may have had wife who loved him,
and little ones crying for bread, but he
would have shrunk back appalled, from
deed such as that the woman thought
out to It's bloody ending, II she did not
have part in the acting. Connecticut
richly deserves the reproach to her Grim.

that history has settled the matter
already, we should be left in considera-
Bile doubt whether George Washington
was inaugurated first President Of the
United States, or whether it was Chan
