DECREASED POSTAL REVENUES, A Falling or From the Reduced Let
 ter Postage.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-Returns from 159 letter carrier offices for the quarter ending June 30, 1884, from which one-half of the gross postal revenue is derived, have been re- ceived at the postoffice department, These returns show falling off, as compared with the same cities for the corresponding quarter of 1883, of S316,27 From these figures it is estimated that the gross revenue of the past fiscal year will be about forty-three and one-half million dollars, or two million dol lars less than in 1883. The decrease of the postal revenue is attributed by postal officials to the reduction of letter postage The fol lowing shows the falling off at some of the large offices: New York, $49, 130; Chicago, 1886; Philadelphia, 5,351; Boston, $21, 448; St. Louis, s11 TIA; Baltimore, s8, 1855; ses5.

A RELIC OF ABOLITION.
The Death of an Aged Antf-S1aveI
 Worker.


 Worker. NEv YORK, July 25.-There died in this city yesterday Peter S. Porter, venerable colored man who, though his position in life was humble, enjoyed the intimate friendship of such men as Highland Garnet, Frederick Douglass, Lloyd Garrison, Gerrit Smith and other leaders in the anti-slavery movement. Porter was himself an important factor in the abolition work and his advice and efforts to elevate the status of his race were prized by the philanthropic coterie who devoted their lives to the cause of freedom. Porter came to New York forty years ago, and while working at odd jobs accumulated a compe- tency from which he was ever ready to give material aid to all worthy movements for the betterment of his people A large number of persons visited to-day his late residence on Twenty-sixth street to view the remains of the old abolitionist

PILLS FOR THE INDEPENDENTS. The,Charges Against C1eveland's Pri-
 yate Character.

The Charges Against CAeVeAan0's Fr1-
 yate Character
 BOSTON, July 25.-The Journal .(Repubh- can) to-day in double. leaded editorial takes up the charges against Governor Cleve- land's private character. It says: ''We have been repeatedly and warmly assured by Dem ocratic and Independent journals that the present campaign is to be pre-eminently one based upon character" It then makes ex- tended quotations from papers which have charged Cleveland with gross immoralities and says: ''If these assertions are true it is time the masquerade of Grover Cleveland as the embodiment of personal integrity should come to an end. We do not be- heve that the American people would elevate to the presidency of the United States a betrayer of women, man of shameless and profigate life The~f failure to meet and disproye these charges will be a confession of guilt"
 The Transcript Qnd.) this evening in an editorial says: 'tWe heartily and entirely agree with the statement uttered in the Journal The proposition that a man of shameless and prohigate life should not be elevated to the presidency admits of no con- troversy, no dispute, no discussion. Is there such a man in nomination. The Inde- pendents will insist upon knowing the exact truth"

THE CLEVELAND SCANDAL.
Editor CressweII Expecting To H
 

Arrested.
 BUFFALO, N. Y, July 25.-Mr John Cresswel, the editor and one of the proprie- tors of the Evening Telegraph, in which Mir Cleveland's scandal was first published in full, was called upon this morning and asked whether he had heard of any proceedings that were to be brought against the paper for libel. He said he had positive information from reliable sources that an attempt would be made to arrest him and to embarrass the paper, but from other sourc es he learned that this would not be done. He explained that he was prepared for such action and would be able to substantiate all that had been published. He did not fear arrest nor the result of 8 trial for libel. He has been expecting the serving of warrant for his arrest daily, but had not heard anything definite to such intention. The impress sion prevails very generally that it will be difficult to induce the parties quoted in the article against Cleveland to testify in court to the matter attributed to them

 Dr. David Kennedy Rondout, N Y.
 DEAR SIR:-I think it is due to you that should make the following statement and I make it yolun- tarily and willingly: On the 4th day ofJRne, 1881 was taken with what was called paralysis of the bowels. The seizure unexpected and terrible. The stomach and other organs seemed to sympa- thize with it and to have lost all power of action. For long time my life was despaired Of but at length recovered so far to be able to ride out By the advice of my physician I visited Poland Springs CVt), hoping to benefit from the waters. But they did me no good. Neither were the best physicians of Lowell and Boston, whom consulted, able to afford me more than transient relief I gained no strength and my case appeared almost hopeless In the fall friend advised me to try KENNEDY'S FAVoRITE REMEDY, and although opposed to patent medicines, made the trial. To make 8 long story short-FAVORTTE REMEDY in my opinion, saved my life. I consider it the best preparation in the world for stomach difficulties, well as of the Liver and other organs. glad to say it is in general among the railroad men in this vicinity. Yours, etc., A. J. CLIFFORD, Mir. Clifford is the Master Mechanic of the Lowell division of the Boston Lowell Railroad, and his illness and recovery known to many who can testify to tho facts in his letter
 Use this medicine for all diseases of the Blood, Kidneys, Liver, Stomach, Bowels and Skin. It may save you and yours from pain and death.

the cook passed the window there glist-
ened on his dirty blue shirt diamond
OF the same size. Our friend thinking
the thing rather bold, applied to the city
detective for assistance and had given
him about half the necessary infOrma-
tion when, as the detective threw open
his coat Eye thunders, could his eyes de-
ceive him), there sparkled 5-karat dia-
mond. Thinking there must be some
mistake, the gentleman at once pro-
ceeded to the Mayors office. He was
told the Mayor had gone to open the
Police court. Being by this time much
excited, he rushed In to the court breath
less and excited. The sight instantly
left his eyes and he CROPPED around for a
chair as he had been nearly blined by
the combined flash from the remainder
of the 5-karat studs. The court itself
had one on the bosom of justice and
many of the honorable attorneys were
posing so that the jewels might show to
the best advantage. Our friend now
concluded to drop the matter as his only
real loss consisted in getting that but
ton-hole repaired. Whenever the gent
stops ut San Antonio he goes to see EN-
ers0n, next to the court house, and they
have hearty laugh over the IL diamond
studs. The gent Is now stopping for a
few days in this city, and has left the
fine diamond at Emerson's, where IL Is
for sale at bargain. Price. $500.

Where Did the Diamonds Come From ?

A gentleman told jeweler to manu-
faoture twelve studs exactly like his real
diamond one, only to use imitation dia-
monds, and in place of Is TX gold to use
highly polished brass for settings. The
studs being finished, our friend depos-
tied the valuable stud for safe keeping.
and placed one of the limitations In his
shirt and the balance in his pocket. 1t
being late, he leisurely proceeded to his
room. The gentleman's room being on
the ground floor, the room was supplied
with inside shutters chat had already
creaked many times since his valuable
purchase). Pretending to be very tired,
the gent pulled Off his clothes and turned
the light 30 low that the room was
almost In darkness. Then. without
closing the shutters, he proceeded to
hang the shirt on the window, leaving
the glistening stud on the bosom,
upon which the faint rays of gaslight
dazzled and flashed asthe summer winds
waited the material from side to side.
Then he lay down where he could see
the movements OF the shirt. He did not
walt long before Its actions became very
lively, In fact Ii finally jumped clear
through the window but was gone only
a few moments when 1t came flying
back again on to the floor. Our friend
at once picked 1t up and placed another
five-karat. glass diamond stud upon the
somewhat soiled bosom. He found the
button hole considerably elongated, NO
doubt caused by the hurried manner In
which the former stud had been removed,
About midnight our friend fell asleep,
having placed twelve studs in that shirt
front, the last OF the number not being
hard to get In but were difficult TO keen
IN, as the button hole had extended from
the collar to the end of the bosom, with
a prospect OF going on to San Francisco
or New York to purchase fall and win
ter goods. Tho following morning the
gentleman proceeded to the jeweler, and
having adjusted the real gem on an i'm
maculate shirt, started out TO await de.
velopments. AS he entered the hotel hs
was surprised to notice that the proprie'
tor, the bell boy and the porter were
each wearing fve-karat studs, and al
