THE POSTOFFICE,

One OF the largest express companies
and dealers in exchange in the world is
the Government of the United States.
The difference between the postal SER
vice and the express and transportation
companies is that the people Of the
United States hire private corporations
to do their heavy freighting business,
and pay them what the aforesaid COM
panies can manage to exact, while they
have organized cooperative concern
for the distribution of letters, small
packages and small bills of exchange,
and the business is done, not for the
most that can be got from its customers,
but for the least that will pay expenses.
AS it is deemed important that the
charges should be low, it is not even at.
tempted to quite pay expenses, the de-
ficit being made up out of general taxa
ton. In other words, nearly So per
cent. of the cost Of operating the service
is collected from those who use the SER
vice, and in proportion to the amount
they use it, and the other per cent. is
paid out of the general treasury.
In its vastness the postal business
looks down from q towering height upon
most OF the railroad and transportation
companies. The routes over which the
Government sends the mails aggregate
344,O0O miles, or q distance equal to
about fourteen circumference of the
earth. Its immediate agents, not
counting mere employees, number A, 512.
The Postmasters in the United States
would make two army corps-that is,
they would if they were all forced into
the army. The salaries paid to these
agents amount to more than eight mill
ions of dollars, or about the same as the
total net ordinary revenues Of the Gov
eminent, including loans, in SO recent q
year as 1S43.

SPREAD or SMALLPOX.

The very remarkable prevalence Of
smallpox in many sections Of the United
States creates an unwarranted degree Of
alarm. The progress made Of late years
in the work of providing vaccine virus
from thoroughly healthy COWS, which is
done at thirty establishments in the
United States, and its general distribu-
ton in drug stores throughout the coun-
try, so effectually removes the greatest
objections to vaccination that there is
no longer any reason why this great
preventive measure should not be uni
versally employed.

loathsome corpses of drunkards Think Of the
physical and mental agony endured by the
wretches who died the slaves Of drink, conscious
of their degradation how terrible must be the
pangs Of their dissolution.
He pictured the drunkard's wife, his home, his
children and their suffering from cold neglect,
starvation, abuse and brutality and asked if the
government should ally itself with the cause Of
all this misery and vice, and license the iniquity
that transforms men into demons and happy
homes into hiGeous hells
curse in my heart of hearts this infamy of
the civil government that thus holds partner
ship with crime. / charge upon church members
this thing of licensing saloons in our city. You
church members hold the balance Of power and
without your consent this thing could not be-
In this city there is a law forbidding the saloons
to be open on Sunday, but while we are here as
Christian people in this church they are selling
liquor defying the law and tralnpling it under
foot.
But tremendous moral sentiment is aroused,
and the knell of this gigantic evil, the greatest
of the nineteeeth century, is sounded, and all
those who love good government will arise to
pulverize it finer than powder. This great moral
force can not be stopped, and when the traffic
has been abolished, what a change will come
over our country. Wealth will Quadruple in a
few years and it win be paradise on earth.

To further questions he said: Il don't believe

The court decided him in contempt. and or
dered the sheriff to take him into custody. The
sheriff allowed Pitts to go into his house to make
arrangements for his imprisonment when Pitts
went out by back way and escaped.
