pnstnl Trentr with Mexico.

The necessity for a postal treaty between
this country and Mexico has become
almost imperative since railroad connec-
ton between the two countries was ef-
fected. The Postmaster General and the
Mexican Minister at Washington have
been at work on such treaty for three
months or more, and they have about
completed their task. There were more
difficulties connected with framing such
a treaty than was at first supposed. The
Postmaster General and the Mexican
Minister made the first draft OF
the treaty without much delay or
trouble. The Postmaster General knew
what to demand on the part Of this coun-
try, and Minister Romero knew what
would be best for his country, but he was
by no means certain that his views would
be approved by his government. The first
draft was translated into Spanish and
sent 10 Mexico, and, in the course OF time,
it came back with suggestions for good
many changes. Senior ROmerO's task then
really began. He has lived good part Of
his life outside of Mexico, and his views
are much more liberal than those OF a ma
ioritv of Mexican statesmen. He set him.
self 10 work to get the Postmaster General
to agree to some of the changes suggested,
and also exerted himself to get his home
government TO withdraw some of its sug-
gestious. He succeeded beyond his eX-
pectations, and this week a new draft
was forwarded TO Mexico, which it is be-
Iieved will prove satisfactory. At pres
ent mails are stopped on the frontier,
where they have to remain twenty-four
hours in order TO give the Postmaster at
Ell Paso. where the frontier is crossed,
time TO make out letter bills. When the
proposed treaty goes into operation mails
will pass to and from Mexico just as they
now pass from one State to another
in this country. Mexico will still
retain her postage, which is nine cents
per half ounce. Letters viii pass from
this country, however, to Mexico, at the
regular domestic rate-two cents per half
ounce. Gradually the relations between
this country and Mexico are becoming
closer. With commercial and postal
treaties, it will not be long before the bar
riers to trade. which have existed so long,
aud which have practically shut this
country out Of the Mexican market, will
be thrown down. The Mexican trade is
we'll worth an effort.

HON. S. S. cox ON SALT.
Its Symbolic Characteristics Relation to
Lots Wife and Democratic Prospects.

CD}tlFttftoftNE
On Mr.. Belford's proposition to amend
the river and harbOr bill by the appropri-
alton of 100000 for the improvement of
Salt river, in the State of Kentucky, so
that the Democratic party might find free
and easy navigation thereon next NOYem-
Der. Mr.. S. 5. Cox, of New York, felt
moved to deliver the following:
81 rise to mOraliZe somewhat. I desire
special leave to discuss the conservative
elements of salt as well as Salt river.
Salt river is not located in Kentucky. 1t
is Of wider renown. 1t is a stream as
full of sad meaning to the politician as
the Stygian stream to the ancient Greek.
1t is the route to official exile-exile to
Hades-the political LinbuS Fdtuorum.
1.-The word salt sir, is Aryan in ORR
gin. 1t has preserved its SAVIOR on all de-
riyative tongues. Its relation TO politics
is implied in the word salary Salt was
a legal tender among the Latins. 1t is
an element Of the sea as well as of the
land. Its function is preseryatiYe and
purifying. 1t seasons our food and makes
it palatable, and our wit to make it pun
gent. 1t gives flavor and relish. 1t is an
element OF health. 1t was the ancient
symbol of hospitality. From time imme-
mortal. to be placed above the salt at the
banquet table, was regarded as the most
polite recognition Of rank. Those who
were not seated near the salt-cellar, so
TO speak. were regarded as seryile and
mean. and were relegated to the attic
Therefore, if one means to be self-respect-
ing. it is still said, in the old parlance,
that she never drinks below the SALT
Salt is the emblem of publication. The
sea is salt over the ruins of S0dOm. On
the Dead Seas shore the crystallized wife
Of the fleeing patriarch became a pillar
Of salt. How sad her lot!

the word salt implies a retiracy from
power, an exile up stream where there

or the small fry parties the Prohibition
lists do not seem TO have attracted much
attention lately. There has been good
deal more talk about the Greenbaek party
and the Autobiography party than about
the Prohibition party, and yet the Pro-
hibitionists are a great deal stronger than
either Of Buffers bantlings. In fact, II
Is not too much TO say that they are
power in several States not to be despised.
In Ohio and Iowa az the elections last fau
they polled a vote that was absolutely
startling to the old-time politicians. They
are now holding their National Convention
at Pittsburg. and, doubtless. they will
dominate a national ticket. The man who
is spoken Of as likely to be their nominee
for President is DR.. r. Fl. Mcdonald, Of
san Francisco. The Doctor has three
great advantages. He has a reputation
as a temperance worker, ability and an
immense fortune. His fortune, perhaps,
will do more towards securing the nOmi-
nation for him than anything else, be-
cause there will be need Of money TO car
~ on the campaign. OF course the Pro-
hibitionists do not expect to carry any
State, but they do think, doubtless, that
their party viii grow until they viii be
able not only to elect the President and
Vice President, but also TO control the
legislation Of the country, State and ma
tional. Such a thing hardly appears
either reasonable or probable, but then. in
the beginning, few outside Of those con-
nected with it thought that the Republic
can party would amount to anything.
Even here in Georgia the Prohibition SEN
timent is remarkably strong. 1t is never
wise TO sneer at a movement that has a
great principle at the bottom of it.

A MOTHER FINDS HER BOY.
Romantic Incident in the Life of Mrs
Caroline H. PembertOn.

II
LONG BRANCH. n. j., July 20.-The
PembertOn will case, which has attracted
so much interest throughout the State,
has been decided by the Orphans Court
of Monmouth county in favor of Mrs.
Caroline II. PembertOn, of Asbury Park.
Mrs. Caroline PembertOn, then of Long
Branch, made her will, giving to her
daughter, Caroline H., of Asbury Park,
large portion of her estate both in this
country and in England, and to her sons,
Drs. John G. and Harry H., of Long
Branch, she gave some mortgages which,
between the making of her will and her
death, she converted into real estate.
That real estate was devised by the will,
and goes equally to the three children.
Mrs. Pemberton died in England, where
she, her daughter, Caroline H., and DIR.
Harry H., were travelling. After her bu-
rial the two came back to America, where
the will was discovered by the sons. The
daughter, who is the eXecutriX of the
will, offered it for probate, where it was
met by cayeat, filed by William III. Nre-
denburgh and eX-Judge ChilliOn Robbins
for the sons, setting up undue influence
and fraud on the part of the daughter in
procuring the win in her favor, she haY-
ing taken care of her mother for many
years prior to her death. After a long,
tedious. and expensive trial the court de-
cided in favor of the daughter, admitting
the will to probate. The estate is worth
nearly a million dollars.
The lady who wins this great legal bat
tie has a romantic history. While travel
ing with her mother in Europe, Caroline,
then a miss of about is, fell in love with
Young Jewish gentleman, who was a
student at one of the Partisan academies.
A clandestine marriage was the result.
Later, it is said, through the influence Of
the young wife's family, the husband Of
Caroline left for parts unknown. A child
was afterward born to the young wife, but
when she-the mother-regained her
health the child was missing. The young
mother was told that it had died immedi-
ately after birth. After the death of her
mother, Caroline, who still kept her
maiden name, found herself a wealthy
woman. Visiting Europe, the lady with
her wealth used every effort to find her
husband and child, both of whom she
believed TO be alive, but without success.
Later, while at her Long Branch home,
Mrs. PembertOn was sitting in the sum-
mer house on the bluff, whep-along came
a Jewish youth peddlIng IN ne wares.
With a frantic cry the r8lasped the
youth to her breast and called him her
s.darling, Iong-lOst boy" Nothing could
convince the lady that she might be mis-
taken, and the young man is going
through a course at college, and has
been fully installed as Mrs. Pemberton's

FRENCH schools have lately been taking TO
object lessons on a very large scale. the
authorities having come to the CONCLUSION
that the best way OF teaching children about
foreign countries is TO let them see those
countries for themselves. AT several Of the
Partisan schools a preliminary course OF
study in the political and industrial
history Of the countries TO be visited is first
gone through. and then the pupils are taken
en- masse to see what they have been learning
about. One school. the Ecole MOnge. has just
returned from a tour in switzerland and
italy. and another. the EeOle des Hantes
Etudes Commercials, from a tour in Eng
land. The French Consul in London looked
after the Young tourists, who visited the
docks. and the post Office, and several OF the
leading warehouses, as well as the ordinary
exhibitions and museums.

BIaine,s Load.

Ii must be rather CALLING to Blaine to
know that many Of the best men in his
party are refusing to support him be-
cause they do not think he is a fit man to
be President. He is very proud and a
verv sensitive man, and unless he has
will Of iron and a constitution that can
bear any strain he will be broken down
before the campaign closes. What a
lesson his career teaches 10 the younger
generation Of public men! The triekster,
the demagogue, or the dishonest man is
sure to be found out, and he is certain to
be condemned and made to pay the
penalty Of his wrOng-doing. Blaine is
man Of magnificent ability, and intellec-
tually is fitted to I'LL any position, but
when his moral character is brought into
question good men shrink away from
him. Not an independent paper in all
the country supports him, and IN
his own party that part Of the better ele-
ment which has not deserted him is not
showing marked enthusiasm in his behalf.
How often must he have wished, in the
last few years, that be had never written
the Mulligan letters, or rather, that he
had not coveted those Little Rock Rail-
way bonds; but then, is q, man holding a
high official position, who uses that posi-
ton TO advance his private fortune, capa-

Is doubtless capable Of being convinced
that there are enterprises inwhich it does
