Missouri, which, was in the rear for
3 long time, is now coming forward with
rapid strides, The late census showed
that her population had increased from
1,721 900 in 1S70to 2,168, 900 in 1880
an increase 547, 600, or over 81 per cent.
in the decade, and the best authorities
agree that if the present rule of increase
is maintained, at the end of this decade
the state win probably show apopula-
ton of 2, 200, 0O0. The increase of tax
able property has also been very great.

Unaer the present extradition trea-
ty between the United States and Great
Britain, neither larceny, embezzlement,
misrepresentation Of funds, fraud nor
obtaining money by false pretences is a
crime for which fugitives from justice
are delivered up. These are about the
only offences for which runaways are
worth capturing. The treaty should be
amended so as TO include them in its
terms.

The famous DR.. Tanner, of semi-star-
Yation, notoriety, says this is a world OF
gluttons and that "If people would eat

Referring to the statement that the
shrinkage of stock values amounts to a
thousand millions, a financial paper says
the shrinkage is simply the squeezing
ont OF the water" injected into them,
which represented the investment of
not a single penny in absolute cash.
There is a good deal of truth in this.

Japan's Model Postal system.

We commend the following (which
we clip from a KabeJ Japan, letter to
the Philadelphia Press,) to the
prayerful consideration of the pos
tai authorities of Florida.
The postal system of Japan is
always pointed at as model in its
way-one of the foremost depart
ments of the Europeanized govern
ment. And, indeed, it must III all
fairness be acknowledged that much
credit belongs to Japan for swift
ness in the despatch of mails, while
fettered with a lack of railroads.
In the first place every train carries
mail, and In Japan, be it known, the
imperial railroads run through pass
enger trains every two hours, and
on the Yokohama railroad nearly
every hour. Thus, while i'll Amer
lea three mails each way daily would
be esteemed the climax Of facilities,
the minium between the various
| cities inJapan is about ten mails each
way daily. This applies merely to
the railroads, of course.
The delivery Of mails is also very
paompt, and takes place good many
times a(day. A person may mail q
letter in Yokohama for Tukiy0, one
hours ride to the north, as late as
dusk, and yet receive an answer the
same night, providing his friend is
prompt. While in Yokahoma l
took occasion to mail a letter in Il
post-box as late as 6 o'clock one eve
ming, at a point fully a mile from
the postoffice. 1t was soon collected,
delivered to the one to whom it was
addressed over on the bluffs, and the
same evening | received a call from
the recipient.
An effort is made in the case Of
foreigners to deliver their mail to
them promptly. So anxious are the
authorities to deliver mail that one
of the missionary ladies in Kobe
says when last summer she went up
among the mountains, six miles dis
tant, special man was despatched
from the office here, really against
her wishes, who came all the way
on foot, and was not content until
he had hunted her up and delivered
her mail.

The Gallows That Enabled the Soul
of Ossawatomie to Go Marching on.
From the Wheeling Intellfgencer.
The historic scafold upon which
John Brown met his death Deem
Der IS, 1859, and which was mys-
teriously spirited away soon after
the execution, has just been dis
covered at CharIestown, Jefferson
county, ina somewhat singular place.
About three months ago Colonel
John NJ. CoyIe bought from a widow
the brick residence standing on the
corner of Lawrence and Liberty
streets, CharlestOwn, and last week,
while making needed repairs, tore
away an old porch in the rear of the
building. Noticing that each board
and timber bore a peculiar mark and
number he made an investigation,
and to his surprise found that when
placed together in proper order the
timbers formed a complete scaffoId.
Subsequent developments have
proved beyond a doubt that the
scaffold is the original upon which
John Brown suffered, and the ven
cradle relic has been carefully stored
away under lock and key until it
can be set in some secure and appro-
pirate place.
The discovery created no little
excitement among the citizens of
the town and county in which the
execution took place

The burning of Qhe chemical
works of Powers & Weightman in
Philadelphia, last Thursday, caused
a loss of over 100000, As this
was the largest quinine factory in
the country the cutting off of such
a source of supply will be widely
felt. In one day the price Of qui-
nine jumped from 1925 to SLIGO.
The trade will now depend on the
foreign brands. The stocks now on
hand in this country are large among
retailers and jobbers. In the north
druggists buy large cans of quinine
and sell it in powders, pills and so
buttons, In the southwest where
there is much malaria the druggist
commonly buys 100 one ounce cans
at an order. He retails the cans
The quinine can is as familiar a sign
in the family cupbord as plug to
bacoo is in the family pocket.
