Lieut.. Greely's Lectures.

Lieut. Greedy has written to a friend here
deny ing statement that is going the rounds
of the press that hehas made money by his
lectures since he returned from tue Arctic re-
gions. Lieut.. Greedy says that instead of
making money, he actually ran short over
200 last year. He saws when he has ac-
cepted invitations from geographical and
other similar associations To lecture he paid
his own way to and from the places, often at
considerable expense. 1t cost him over $40
to deliver a recent lecture in Massachusetts
AT an agricultural tair, though the fair asso-
ciation did not return him even his expenses
His name, more than his lecture, was used to
draw "A crowd to the fair. He says there will
be no admission charged to his lectures in
England and Scotland, as he speaks in each
case before scientific associations, though he
has been promised that his expenses will be
paid. Lieut.. Greedy has arrived at the con-
clusion that there is no money in the Arctic
business. He has hopes that an exception
will be made in his case, and that he will not
be required to return to his regiment, though
Secretary Endcott has always insisted tha,
he will allow no exceptions, and that ali
officers for years absent from their commands
must return so there then shall be a fair ex
change of the soft places Washington Let
ter TO the Hartford Times.

A MiSer Worth Half a Million

An eccentric old bachelor named Kentish
aged so years, who had lived at Croydon
nearly half that time. has been found dead
in his bed. He was formerly cashier at a
bank, where he accumulated a great deal OF
money during the railway mania 40 years
ago. This he carefully invested, and it is
estimated that it will now amount to consid.
erably more than 100000, the whole OF
which, in default of will, goes to some dis.
tant connection. The deceased occupied
plainly furnished lodgings, and lived in a
penurious manner. He was never known to
give away penny, and his sole pleasure was
in saving. He was extremely deaf, though
active for his age. His grotesque appear.
ance and habits were well known in Croydon.
but few were aware Of his enormous wealth.

One OF the most important and veNa
tious questions which awaits the consider.
alton of Congress is the position that
Postmaster-General Villas has assumed
with regard to the foreign mail service.
The effect of that position is feebly stated
when it is said that his niggardly policy.
veiled under the name of economy, has
quite demoralized the mail service. and is
working commercial injuries to American
merchants that. first exciting their sur
prise, are now bringing down upon his
head their hearty condemnation. The
controversy between MIR. Villas and
the steamship companies is the least
important feature of the situation.
although American shipping has suffered
from so many and such serious burdens
that not little of Mr.. Villas unpopularity
grows out OF his attitude of hostility to
American lines and of favor for foreign
companies. But the question that is being
forced upon the attention of Congressman,

were kept at a comparatively great dis

entirely successful, there will be little or
