Fast Mail.

MINNEAPOLIS, March 24.-The evening
Journal will tomorrow publish a commu-
n~ication from Post Master General
Gresham in reference to the fast mail.
Gresham says that the manner in which
the mails had been dispatched west and
northwest of Chicago for n long time was
discreditable to the department. After
shortening the time between Boston, New
York and Chicago he found it difficult 10
shorten the time beyond Chicago, on ac-
count of the liabilities of frequent delays in
the arrival of the eastern mail at Chicago
and the amount of mail to be handled.
He says he was compelled to have trains
leave Chicago for thetwest and northwest
an hour or two after the schedule time
for the arrival of the mail for the east.
Gresham says further: Chicago was too
large a place to be treated as a way
station; two hours and a quarter, all
things considered, is not too much time TO
spend at that place" The post master
general concludes by stating that he has
done the very best he could in the matter
to accommodate the whole country, and
denies emphatically that it was given to
Chicago for the benefit of the local news
papers, they, as a matter of fact, made a
strong fight to have the trains leave at

The American Hog Abroad.

WASHINGTON, March 24-Senntor
Nance in his minority REPORT from the
committee on fofeign5 ~afhfrs, fsubmitted
to-day, expresses the Eopinion I that
Germany has the right to exclude the
American hog products onathe ground
thatrthey are unwholesome, if she deems
proper, and this government is not jnsti-
fed in impeaching her motives. If it be
true, continues the report, that pork is to
any extent unwholesome, we should by
a rigid system of inspection remove the
cause of the complaint. IF il be a fact
that trichinosis is only IA pretext and that
the real reason . r.exeluding our products
is a desirs to protect their W producers,
then we are the last people on earth who
ought to complain, after surrounding our
selves for more than twenty years with q
protective tariff wall, 50 high as virtually
to exclude all products Of Germany which
compete with our own. 1t is rather late
| for as TO ADVOCATE retaliation against q
government which merely follows oui
example. ~

evening recently when man approach

This is rather ghostly place after

like so many weird spirits of the
night"

pleasantly, 81 am not at all supersti-

The two gentlemen then chatted for

"May have the pleasure of know

"Certainly, sir" was the polite re-

man who wasn't afraid of ghosts, as

years l have been perfecting to my
own satisfaction a boat that will be a
perfect life-boat and life craft for ships
and steamers, and in order to convince
the public that my invention is safe,
what better way is there than by cross
ing the ocean in it? Two years ago,
with a companion, lvar Olsen, a young
Norwegian, who is civil engineer, /
sailed from Bath in an 1S-foot dory on
the 9th of July. Forty-six days later
we landed in Havre, France. On this
cruise we sailed, being in constant mo-
tion night and day. She was a keel

l shall take three pairs.
"One pair ought to last me over, but

abundance of provisions, tools, rope
and all sorts of stuff. shall have no
company but my dog Jumbo, and

Bones for Grapevines.

If bones are really as valuable as
they are claimed TO be by some for
grapevines, every one has the means
at hand for stimulating his vines to
wonderful vigor. 1t is said that if a
bone is placed in the earth near the
root of the grape, the vine will send
out a leading root directly to the bone.
In its passage it will throw out no
fibers, but when it reaches the bone,
the root will entirely cover it with the
most delicate fibers, like laco, each one
seeking pore of the bone. On this
bone the vine will continue to feed as
long as nutriment remains to be ex-
tracted.
