POSTAL REFORMS ABANDONED.

The attempt of the British Post Office TO initiate
the admirable American system of transatlantic
mails has apparently collapsed on the first sign of
resistance from the steamship companies interested
in maintaining the present contracts. Mr. Fawcett
seems to give no personal attention to this impor-
hnt subject, but allows the rusty permanent of
fcials to resume their old-fashioned methods. He
abandons the only efficient scheme Of sending mails
BY the fastest ship regardless of ownership and in
sltes tenders by COMPANIES on yearly contracts

another example of what we complain oi when we point to our pauperism, to the brutal ignorance of ofmultitudes among our fellow-countrymen, to the weight of tax atiGn laid on us by blamable wars, to the wasteful channels made for the public money, to the expense and trouble oi getting justice, and call these the effects d bad rule. This is the law that we all bear the yoke of, the law of no mans making, and which no man can undo.
 But such passages are few and far be tween. and the general impression is Jeff, how much the hack-work of genius re- sembles that of ordinary mortals. And, though not all signs of genius are want ing, these articles are essentially chips from the workshop. and give TO fore shadowing of the finished product.

Women Are Honest.
Albany Iournat.i

-H.bdhS toHEbdt-I
 Although hundreds of women hold DO. sitions of financial trust in the country we have yet 10 hear of one of them being guilty of embezzlement or dedication The evidence clearly sustains the posi- tions of those who believe that women are qualified physically and in,ellec,ually-for the handling Of money Tn stores or Tn banks. General Spinner who first introduced women into the United States treasury, left on record a S:ilkiHs testimonial 10 the efficiency and integrity of the sex. and no one ever had a better opportunity 10 study the ques- ton than he. who at one time had ooo women under his direction. engaged chiefly Tn handling money. He tes,i6es that they count more accurately and rap- idly than men, tha, their ability 10 deiec, counterfeits proved 10 be superior in d. most every test, that they were. without an exception, honest and were invariably mere careful and pains,aking in their work. Complaints of inaccuracy and .areiessaess on the part of men were made frequently during General spinner administration 0. the United States treas ury. but such complaints against lady  clerks were few The shrewdes, and quiekest de,ectors of counterfeit, currency were women, and in case of dispute as ,o the genunenes ct money General Spinner invariably took the Judgment of Miss Grandin, who w;.s for a long time em- ployed in his bureau. In speaking of her ability in this particular one day, General spinner said '' If were a be- lieseE in clalpoyance should say that she possessed that power; bu, am not, 90 call |, instinct Although there are several thousand women employed by the government as clerks, accountants. pos,mistresses and in other capacities. not one has eyer proved uniaithful to her trust. Many have been discharged for ineapaeity and for other reasons, bu, never one for dishonesty. These points are worth the consideration of merchants and bankers, particularly now when there seems te be an epidemic of em6ezzle- mfrtS

Dr. Holmes and the Harvard Bows.

Boston Letter 10 Chicago Tribune.
 The most popular man in the medical school Is Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes. though he is no longer an active member of the faculty. The genial au,ocrat " cannot stand entirely aloot from his frs, love, and almost every month he pays q visit 10 the doctor mill on the Back Bay. Some of the younger professors think that Dr. Holmes is pretty far behind the times" an old fogy, you zknow" the boys have no thought for them when the old doctor comes in sight. trying 10 steal unseen through some open space. Applause and shouting bring the doctor to stop. The bright. strong face lights up with happy smile. the white head bows to the youthful ,op-kno,s. and the slight. straigh, figure. bearing very easily the weight of 7s long years. tries to steal away again. bu, it won't dc. The boys must have speech, and the doctor sub mits. How he brightens and sparkies No dry remarks on anatomical subjects, no learned dissertation on medical prln- ciples.

Giving Her" a Thrill"
Boston Journal


 An aneedo,e of the recen, engagement, of Henry Irving in this city, although late in coming to hand, is we'll worth telling During the first performance of Louis Ai." lady found herself seated next 10 a party of three intensely typical Boston girls, who observed the development oi the play with that reserved, serene and -iircal aspect for which their class is no.ed. The lady was more enthusiastic than they, and a, various fire points which the actor made was not chary of applause. At last, when a particularly strong situation had been met and mas tered, ste exclaimed, so,to voce:
 An, he IS, indeed, grea, a,.''
 The three young women who sat be- side her immediately put up their eye glasses and looked at her in a quiet. but superior way, and the nearest of the pai- y. IF calm and very distinct voice, said:
 '' iardon me. but have rot yet ex- perienced any thrill"
 Afrerward. in relating this incident, the lady said; l had in my dress a, the time long shawI-pin, and was awfully tempted to lab 1t into the cold creature $ ann, 10 see If she would feel any thrill q; that.

One Kind of Fool.
Bill Nye, in Detroit Free Press.


 A young man with plated watch. cham that would do 10 tie up scared elephant came into Denver the other day from the east on the Iulesburg Shor, Line, and told ;he hotel clerk that he had just returned from Europe. and was on his way across the continent with the in- tentisn ot publishing Il bool; of interna- tionai information. He handed m oil cloth grip across the counter. registered Tn a bold. bad way. and with a flourish that scattered the ink all over the clerk white shirt front,
 He was assigned 10 q quie, room on the fifth floor tha, had been darnase,, by water fe@ weeks before by the fire de- partn.ent. Alter an hour or two spen, in riding up and down the elevator and ringing for things ,ha; didn't cost any thing. he oiled his hair and strolled into the dining-room with severe air and sa, down opposite big cattle man who never oiied hls hair or stuck his nose into other peoples business.
 The European traveller entered into convet sa,ion with the cattle man. lie told him all abou, Paris and the con,i- nent. meanwhile polishing his hands on the tablecloth and eating everything within reach. While he ate another mans desert he chated on gaily abou, Cologne and pitied the cattle man who had io stay out on the bleak plans and watch the cows while others padded around Nen- ice and acquired information m a for eign land.
 Al hrst the cattle man showed some interest Tn Europe. eu, after awhile he grew quie, and didn't seem to enjoy il. Later on ihe European tourist. with soiled cuffs and auburn mane. ordered the walters around ma males,ic way to impress people with his greatness. tipped over the vinegar orue; into the salt. and ate slice of boiled esg or: of another mans salad.
 Casually tall Kansas man s,rolled in, and asked the European tourist wha, he was doing in Denver. The cattle man. who, by the way. has been abroad i've or six times. and Is as much a, home in Paris as he is in Omaha, investigated the matter. and learned that the fresh French tourist had been herding hens on Il chicken ranch m Kansas tor six wears. and had never seen blue water. He then took few personal friends to the dining room door. and they watched the al- legged traveller. He had lns, taken long. refreshing drink rom ,he finger-bowl of his neighbor on the lei, and was at ,ha, momen, trying to scoop ul lump of sugar with the wrong end of the ,ongs.
 There are good many fools who drift around through the world and dodge the authorities, bu, the mos, disas- trous ass that know is the man who goes west with two dollars and forty cents in his pocket, without brains enough to soil the most delicate cambric handker- chief and tries to play himself for a sa- want with so much knowledge that he has to shed information all tke tune to keen his abnormal knowledge from hurting him.

The Wives of English Statesmen.

Neatly all the recent premiers of Eng land have enjoyed the advantage of hay ing had wives of great devotion and con- siderable ability. 10 whose tender care and sympathy in their ambition they have been largely indebted The de- votion of the countess ot Russell, who is still living, and the countess of Beacons- held had something of romance. Mrs. Gladstone, who is nearly the same age as the premier. accompanies her husband. as did Lady Beaconsheld. everywhere, and frequently remains in the ladies' gallery to the close of the nights sitting. Lord Palmerston, more than. perhaps. any other first minister. however, was in- debted for his position and it's main,en- anoe 10 his wife, who was physically and mentally remarkable woman. Up to her death in IS69 a, eighiy-tvc. four years after her husband, she could read wi;hou, glasses. and talked with all the ire and energy of young woman of twenty. Her voice WAS most cheery. musical and soft. Her eyes were of bright blue, and in spite of very evident wig, sine was very handsome old lady. She had some peculiarities. always shook hands with her left hand. and pronounced gold gould and china :. eheeny."
