night TO force through the River and Har-
Dor bill without giving any opportunity for

finally stopped further proceedings and
forced an adjournment shortly after mid

constituents gave him leave of absence at
the last election, aud in company
with Secor Robeson, Butterworth,

We little know the thoughts that SWEEP
Each hrnving human breast.
As on llfc's tOllspinr march they hear
The sounds they once loved best.
The cricket with his shrill refrain.
The thrush at close of lay.
The COW bell swinging III the lane,
The bieating far away
The partridge drumming on his log,
The tree toad IN his tree,
The yellOwhammer' tirst spring note,
The huinming OF the bee;
The moaning winds. the beating rain.
The slfi of drifting snow,
All these are sounds that bring again
The thoughts Of long ago.

CARTING THE CARRIERS.
A New and Improved Method Of Delivering
the Mail.

CHICAGO, Jan. 20.-What is known
as the ''yan system of delivering mail
matter is to be introduced in Chicago.
Recognizing its advantages. Postmaster
Palmer expressed a desire to have this
city looked over with a Wow of estab-
fishing the practicability of its introduce
ton here, and inspectors Hall and Adsit
were sent from Washington to make
the examination. They have done so,
and promptly reached the conclusion to
recommend that the sub-stations nearest
the main n be abolished, and ten vans
substituted. 1t is proposed at the start
to cover the territory within two miles
and a half of the post-office, all the car
riers except those al the outlying sta
tions to be concentrated there. A van
Will leave with ten or a dozen carriers,
say for the North Side, dropping each
one when he gets to his route, and pick
ing him up on his return. 1t is claimed
that in this way letters or newspapers
now delivered at 4 or 4:30 in the after
noon can be delivered at 2 or 5, and
that the present noon delivery can be
made at 10 O'Clock. There will be no
gain in time downtown at present, as
the carriers will walk to their route as
now, but, in a little while, when Capt.
White perfects his plan for distribution
on the postal cars as the trains come
into the city, letters will reach their des-
tination an hour sooner. A great OBJ
stacle in the way of the van system is
lack of DON at the Post-Office, the r
riers there now being cramped for space.
AS far as expense is concerned,
the van system will EOS less
than the maintenance of the
sub-stations; but the time gained is
what prompted the recommendation of
the Inspectors.

Transferring Stock.

NEW YORK, Jan. 20.-Judge Ingra-
ham has finally settled his ~interlocutory
order defining what special shares of
the Western Union Company stock
should or should not be debarred from
the use OF the transfer books of the
company. The effect of his order, di-
vested of all legal verbiage, is to per-
nit the Western Union to open the trans
fer books of the company, and to make
transfers therein of all shares of the
company, excepting such shares as con
stitute that limited portion of stock
which was decided last December, by
Judge Arnoux and Judge Russell and
Judge Friedman TO have been illegally
issued. amounting in the aggregate to
SO, 526, 800, and representing shares
issued under the consolidation agree
ment. This limited portion now either
stands on the transfer books exclusively
in the names of persons to whom it was
then first issued or irrespective of trans
fer evidence, is really owned now by
such persons.
