Perplexities of Postmasters In Small Cities

Washington Special.
Postmasters in the small cities and towns are
having an unhappy time over the special deliv
cry system. Their reports to the department
contain some amusing accounts of their perplexi
ties. The postmaster at Cory. Pa, writes:

The postmaster OF Adrian. Mich, says: "Thus

The Deadly Cigarette.

Tobacco Dealer, in Brooklyn Union.
Cigarette smoking has the same effect GA
boys and young men as opium has on grown
people. The tobacco which the cigarettes are
made Of is SO mild in taste that the smoke from
them can be drawn on the lungs or inhaled,
which, in time, will have an Injurious effect
upon the smoker. The inveterate cigarette
smoker will reject fine imported cigar for a
cigarette preferring the latter which, in bundles,
cost only half cent apiece. The price of the
article ought in itself to be sufficient proof that
cigarettes are made out of common material,
and cheap things are always bad Some people
imagine that gum opium is used in cigarettes,
but this is mistake, as that drug costs Sc a
pound, which would be too expensive to the
cigarette manipulation. The white paper is
bleached by an arsenical peparation and that is
poisonous enough. heaven knows. Cigarettes
ought to 0e STAMPED out of existence. for they
are sapping the life out of our young men.

WASHINGTON, Oct 14-"There is not much

several babies to support"

years ago. there WAS money in this business 1t

the Capitol they were put in our way. Now it is
different In the first place, the number has
been increased from three to twelve. Then
the employees of the House and
Senate, while they have no authority
to do SO, have, in several instances gone into
the guide business on their own account; and,
besides that, there is SO much pickering and
jealousy among ourselves that it makes it very
tough all around to get along at ALL"

The Reason Given by an Official for Asking
the Removal Of Female Employees.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Oct IA great deal of feel
ing is manifested here by the widows and daugh-
tiers of dead soldiers and their friends because
certain notorious official in one of the depart
ments gave as a reason why all the women in his
department. should be incontinently removed
that there was ''a general want of virtue and
chastity" When it is remembered that most of
these ladies are past mid-life are the mothers of
families, and in many instances the sole support
of invalid and crippled husbands; and when it is
also remembered that many of the young ladies
are daughters of dead soldiers and the support
of invalid mothers, broken down by anxiety and
grief during the war aud afterward, this gratui-
tous insult becomes doubly infamous, and should
consign the author to an eternity of infamy
The Grand Army of the Republic here will take
the matter up, and declare they will not stop till
the wretch is driven from public lfe Soldiers
everywhere should support them in their efforts
to vindicate the widows and daughters of their
comrades.

''Thou biz d with the beautiful tra-lala-lee,"'
Sang Governor Hill one day;

The Michaelmas moon lends mystical hue
To the scen'ry in forest and dale
So, pri' thee hop down for minute or two

But never word did the mugwump reply
AS he sat on the crabapple limb
And tauntng expression enveloped his eye
AS he heard the remorseful importunate cry
Which the statesman addressed unto him;
Then up to his shapely but cynical nose
He lifted one leg with a smile,
And mockingly 'tweedled his willowy toes
