The Australian Mail.

Washington. 3.-Craighton had an
interview with the Secretary of
state, to-day, in which he pointed
out. the Importance of to American
commerce of continuing a direct
mail communication with New
Zealand and Australia UiG San
Francisco. He says that when
New Zealand inaugurated the exist
ing mail service in III, the total an
nual trade of the United States with
Australia was $270,719, but it had
reached ST., 150,369 in 50, an increase
In eleven years of $l4,321, 232. Last
year 81, 331 1856 in gold was imported
from New Zealand and Aus .ralia.
Colonially subsidized steamships
carried the United States mail to
Honolulu and South Pacific coun-
tries free, distance Of 1890 miles
each outward voyage. This mail
was heavy, weighing in letters
an printed matter 1,OS9,990 pounds
for the last three months
of 1882. The United States charges
about 100000 yearly for railroad
transportation of closed British and
Colonial mail across America and
the representative urges that ocean
transportation of theAmerican mail
be taken to offset the cost of land
transportation of colonial mail. If
this proposal be agreed to, New Zea-
land is prepared to continue the ex-
listing ocean postal service from
which New South Wales withdraws
at the close of the present contract.
Frelinghuysen listened to Creigh-
toms statement and promised to
give it careful consideration. A
similar reply was given by the post.

A correspondent of the Rural Ne'c
Yorker advises the use Of two-gallon
sprinkling can, with rose sprinkler
on the nozzle, for applying Paris green
TO potato vines. He puts into the can
little more than a spoonful Of Paris
green, fills with water, stirs the mix
ture with few strokes, and starts on
his work of humiliation. Ten cents
worth of Paris green is enough for an
acre. A practical farmer near Chicago
has found that applying the poison to
each alternate row Of vines was as ef-
fcctual in Kidding the whole field OF
The beetles as was an application to
each row.

Knott for Governor OF Kentucky.

Louisville, May 1.-THE con.
vention was IN humor This morn.
ing for business, aud the liveliest
day ever had was the result. The
first ballot TO be taken was the
seventh of the series, after which
the man receiving the lowest mum.
Der of votes was to be dropped.
Early in the action the namc Of
Owsley was withdrawn, and then
the contest was left between j.
Proctor Knott, Thomas X. Jones
and Buckncr. ltbecame apparent
that Buckner could not win, and
his friends withdrew his name.
Then the trouble began in earnest,
and the hurra was at the loudest.
1t was almost impossible to do
anything, so great was tho confu.
sion, but at last the result was
about to be reached, when, owing
to numerous changes, the secre.
tary was ordered to call the roll
again. Pending this call the wild.
est enthusiasm existed, and IL was
almost impossible to know what
was being done. Finally the
friends of Mr.. Joncs, seeing the
drift of the vote, withdrew his
name, and J. Proctor Knott was
declared the nominee of the party
for Governor.
The motion to make the nomi.
nation unanimous was carried and
Mr.. Knott was accepted as tie
candidate for the party.
In the midst of the confusion,
and pending the announcement of
the result, Buckner and Owsley
made fine speeches, accepting the
result, aud every one was IN good
humor.
After a number Of ballots, Cap.
tain James II. Hyndman, late Of
the Federal army, was nominated
for Lieutenant Governor, over
Captain Allen, a late Confederate
soldier.

President Lincoln in Richmond.

the cabinet room of the capitol
was kept in exactly the same con-

after the surrender, and while
walking through the building, in

Confederacy, came to this room.

preached wearily, sat down with

fell into his broad hands there was
an oppressive silence. His mind
seemed to be wandering back thro'
the dark years of bloedshed and
carnage. He saw visions of death,
broken family circles, loss of trea-
sure, and the little mounds which
dot the South under which sleep
the Northern dead. He did not
utter word, but heaved deep
sigh. and even to this day the war
