Reduction Of Postage.

Referring to the matter of having
the reduction of letter postage go into
effect July |, 1883, instead of Jan. | g,
1854, Third Assistant Postmaster
General Hazen says that it would be
impracticable to make the change as
early as July. He claims that there
would be a surplus of three cent
stamps on hand at that time that
trouble would arise in adjusting the
accounts with postmasters and that
commissions for fourth-class postmas-
tiers on sales of stamps would not be
settled. In reply to these objections
it is urged that there will he surplus
of stamps on July LIST, as postmaSters
will have nearly six months after the
passage of the bill for disposing of
their supply. If there is surplus, the
three cent stamp can be used for mail
matter requiring more than two cents.

Parks or Churches!

There is not pleasant Sunday during
the Summer in which thousands and
tens of thousands of men, women and
children do not empty themselves out
of the hot streets and tenements of
New York upon Coney Island or ada
cent sands. Why do they go, particu-
larry when every railroad and steam
boat that carries them runs in defiance
of the law They go because there is
no other day upon which they can go.
and because the breath of glorious
fresh air, aud the smell of the clean salt
water, bring more rest to their wearied
bodies and spirits than the monotonous
confinement of the city can afford.
They go because they know that the
going will do them more good than
anything else it is possible for them to
do. What have the Christian churches
done about it Nothing, save to frown,

How We May GIorify God.

A mans life consistent not i'll the
abundance of the things which he pos
sesseth il consistent not in meat and
drink, nor in making money. Its high
est elevation and enjoyment are found
in knowing the God who has made us,
and in loving and serving him. We
glority God by seeing and enjoying all
that is possible of his marvellous crea-
zion; we glorify him by going forth
from our little nook of personal inter
ests and affairs to behold what he has
done on mountain and plain, and river
and sea, for the good of man and the
revelation of himself: we glOrify him
10y taking in all that is possible of the
beauty and magniiicence and lowell
ness of the globe; we glorify him by
emlarging and cnriching our life to the
very utmost 10y thoughts and expert
cnccs which take us out of ourselves,
which raise us above all the petty mar
rOwncSS that limits and confines us,
and so lift us towards the Creator.
Every expansion of the mind, every
enrichment of the heart, every acces-
sion of knowledge and power, every
new feeling of love and kindness, as
well as of awe and gratitude, cOntri-
butcs to his praise. Hence it is IL duty
for all who can to escape, at least once
in ii while, from the treadmill and
daily grind of existence, that they may
see and feel that they are citizens of Il
globe God made and swinging in his
immensely. We once stood with one
of our merchants on the summit of IL
New Hampshire mountain, and shall
never forget how the Sight overcame
him. Il never before felt'-such were
his words the greatness and glory of
the world, and the majesty of him who
touchcth the hills and they smoke, and
weighcth the mountains i'll scales and
the hills in il balance. = Evangelist.

Christmas Eve at the M. Il. Church.
Christmas Eve was celebrated at the NJ.
E. Church, by a pleasing entertainment
given by the Sunday School, consisting
of Rotations, readings and singing. The
Rotations were rendered by the larger
scholars in a manner that showed consid
erble ability, and much credit is due to
the smaller ones for the manner in which
they did their part A novel feature con-
sisted of sail boat, with mast and sail,
nicely trimmed with bunting and loaded
down with bags of candies and piles of
oranges for the school, could be seen as if
about to move from the south east corner
Of the church to the platform. At the con
clusion of the entertainment the Pastor,
Rev. Mr.. Strickland, announced that the
ship under command of Commodore John
Silyers, would soon make landing, when
the cargo would be distributed among
the school, aud 10 the surprise of many
present, the ship did actually move from
the corner Of the church to the middle of
the platform and the cargo, consisting of
bags of candy, cakes, nuts, ETC., and an
orange for each member of the school,
was soon distributed. About three hun
dred in all were given away. Too much
credit cannot be given tue ladies and gen
tlemen Of the school, for the earnest labor
they gave in order TO make the affair
pleasing to the children. The old ship,
with its "Merry Christmas, 1888, in
gilt letters on the sail, will long be re-
membcred by both old and young who
we're present on this occasion.

Low Railroad Fares.
We recently printed the fact that the
New York Central Railroad had reduced
the price Of yearly tickets between
Poughkeepsie and New York, distance
of seventy three miles-to $40, and
stated that this was claimed to be the
lowest rate passenger fare known. This
claim has been quite exte nsively publish
ed and commented upon favorably by the
press of the country. AS a matter of fact,
however, the rates in New Jersey to our
resorts on the sea coast are more liberal
to the travelling public, but they have
not received any particular notice from
the newspapers. The Pennsylvania Rail-
road sells yearly tickets between Phila-
delphia and Cape May, distance of
eighty-two miles, without any restriction
as to the number of rides, for $100-be-
tween Philadelphia and Atlantic City, a
distance Of sixty miles, for $50. They
also sell yearly ticket known as the
'scottager's ticket good for faoo persons
between Philadelphia and Atlantic City,
for $50.
We believe these rates are the lowest
in United States. They are probably too
low to pay tho company directly, but are
part Of a broad and liberal policy which
has promoted improvements and build up
constantly increasing business which is
remunerative State Gazette.

DRINKS IN RUSSIA.

A gentleman who has been travelling in
Russia lately, and who seems to have had
experience, has this to say of liquor customs
there:
There is no attempt at regulation, ex-
cept that the Government police polizei,
keep sharp eye on vendors of vodki and
other intoxicating drinks. The dealer in
Russian whiskey is protected by the law and
is answerable to the law. He dare notmake
ase of his license to deal in vodki as blind
for robbery. Such things asyou Americans
call dives are utterly unknown there. No
man can be tempted to drunkenness and
robbery while in drunken state without
furnishing the dealer, which means the de-
priyation of his license and period of in
generation in Jail with hard labor, followed
III extreme cases, with touch of the knout
on his bare skin. Tho terror of this punish
ment makes each keeper of vodki shop
really conseryator of the peace; for as
soon Us the liquor-dcaler sees that one Of
his customers is liable toget violently drunk
he turns him out on the street. And man
already drunk can get no more vodlti."
But suppose the drunken man kicks up
row, what then9n
q He is taken in charge by the police and
down to the station house. His punishment
then follows rs matter ofoourse. No mat
ter whether he be rich Or poor, whether he
belong to the noble or the working class, he
must serve eight hours in the street-clean-
ing gang. As7o'clock strikes he has to go out
in the street gang, and with broom and
spade make the Nevskoi Pewspe<t, or any
other street he may work on, MS clean as
new pin.n
"But do they make NJ difference between
gentlemen and worhmen.
"None whatever; yet there is a difference
generally. The gentlemen who are found
drunk on the streets at night usually have
black clothes. They are marked on the
back with great white Greek cross, a cross
big enough to be seen half square away.
The moujik, or workmen class. who, at least
in summer, are found with their dirty white
shirts covering their shoulders, are marked
With an equally conspicuous black cross.
This is the only difference, and if gentle.
man be drunk with white or light-colored
clothing on him he gets, also, the black cross.
They are classed as drunkards, and treated
without reference to their rank. - Ci1lcin-
natl Enquirer.
