The above would be Il Justly deScrip-
tive title Of the recent act of congress
entitled "A bill to modify the postal
money order system, and for other pur-
pos :,
The act provides for the issue and
sale of checks or notes for sums Of less

not presented for payment within the

GOV. Butler is paying particular at
tcntion to the many abuses which have
been fastened upon MasSachusctt, 10y II
iong-cUntnued reign Of the republican
party. He conducts the Investigations
in person and is making things de.
cidedly unpleasant for the raScally
officials. On April 2, the committee
ON public charitable institutions re-.
sumed the inquiry into the manage
ment of the state almShOuSe at TcwkS-
bury. X.Watchman Dudly testified
that when he detected Marsh. Marsh
told him to keep still about what he
had seen of loading Of bodies ut the
dcad-hUusc Marsh said: I'VE have
got to have some pay for our trouble,
taking care of these critters" Witness
gave the details of the case of n man
who was put into cell intoxicated
and died in four days from neglect.
He saw u light in the trunk-rOOm at
night several times after the inmates
had retired, and going in quietly one
night saw Capt. MarSh's wife opening
the trunks and taking clothes from
them. Mrs, Pope, the hpusekeepcr,
now in Middleton, told him she had
seen the same thing, and that the most
valuable dresses were taken by Mrs.
Marsh to her private store-room and
made over for Davis girls. Twenty
children in one ward used to cry at
night because OF hunger. One night,
out of curiosity, he went to the bury
iDg-grOund and saw four bodies resur.
rectcd and driven off in II wagon. The
state of the food for the inmates and
insane was always very poor. The al
lowance Of other food was very slender.
A man who drove the hospital team
told witness he had taken up sixty
eight bodies in eight months. The
man was dissatisfied then, but next
day showed "few hundred which 10
said Tom Marsh had given him.
Witness was afterward appointed with
his wife, to the care of the female in.
sane. The trunks of the insane had
been taken away. The beds of straw
were in a rotten condition, with insutii-
cient clothing. The cells were in a
filthy condition. One insane woman
was in dirty cell in the attic. The
assistants said she was violently ir-
sane and would tear her clothes. She
had had only one meal n day carried
her by an idiotic girl who said she had
always taken care of the woman.
Watched and found the girl threw the
food away and come back with the
empty plate saying that the woman
had eaten all the food. In five or six
weeks he had the woman ont of the
cell and in the sitting room, so changed
that her husband did not know her.
Her name was Mary Barron.
Gov. Butler What was her hus-
bands name.
Witness--I don't know. He lives in
Boston.
Gov. Butler-Never mind, the news
papers will bring him to me tomorrow
On Gro DISCRIMINATION, witness said
Of seveny-three children that came
there in a year, only one lived.

The Cnst Of CnnilIgrnIinn.

Dcmorcsts Monthly for March.
Ninety million dollars worth of pro-
porty was destroyed by fire in the
United States in 1882 Another osti-
mate, an English one, puts the loss at
one hundred and ten millions. Russia
with nearly double our population,
comes next with 800, 100000. The
English losses were estimated at Si5,-
600, 900, the German at $50, ,000,0 600, the
French ut Sl5,000,000. The great
losses with us are due to the haste in
constructing frame-houses in newly
settled regions, and the necessary
inadcquacy of fire departments in
localities which came into existence, as
it were, yesterday. Hence this is q
great country for fire insurance COM
panies. We pay nearly $50, 900, 900 in
premiums every year. All the rest of
the civilized world pays something less
than 500, 1000, 900 to insure against
fires. 1t is no wonder so many foreign
companies compete for the large fire
insurance of this country, But this is
a great tax upon our resources, for we
have $50, 900, 900 less to employ actively
in general trade than we would have if
there wereno apprehension of fire. In
our large cities we have very efficient
fire departments, and the number of
hre-proof dwellings are getting more
numerous year by year. But the
rapid increase of immigration, and the
vast extension of our inhabited area,
will long make this country profit
able field for fire insurance. Occur
rences such rs the destruction of the
hotel at Milwaukee, with loss of over
hundred lives, could not occurr in
any civilized country but the United
States. Our hotels, places of amuse-
ment, and churches ought to be pro-
tected against fire; but local govern
ment is so insufficient in the United
States that nowhere is the traveller so
unsafe as within our borders.

One Of the funny writers Of the day
has said that there is n language OF
umbrellas as well rs of flowers. For
instance, place your umbrella on a
rack. and it will Indicate that it is

body's eye is going to be nut out to

be knocked off. An umbrella carried
over woman, the man getting moth
inc but the drippings OF the rain, means
courtship; when the man has the UNI
brclla and the woman the drippingS, it
indicates marriage, TO punch your
umbrella into person and then open
it, means dislike you. To swing
your umbrella over Your head signifies
| am making anuisancc of myself. To
trail your umbrella along the footpath
means the man behind You is thirSting
for your blood, To carry it ut right
angles under your arm signifies that
an eye is to be lost by the man who
follows You. TO open an umbrella
quickly, it is said, will frighten a mad
bull. To put Il cotton umbrella by the
side ola nice silk one signifies exchange
