A New Rule in the Post Office Depart
ment.
From the Neao YORK Sun,

AfVHS tfCc 4fotO LoTB sun
WASHINGTON, June 7.-"They've got new
rules al the Post Oflce Department, and one
of them Is curious enough" said a noted
Democrat, whom we will call Gen. White.
You see, / wanted the name of the Postmas-
ter at certain town in my State, and / asked

GubernntoriaI Talk.

1t is considerably over year until the
next election for Governor of Georgia
takes place, yet good many of our con-
temporaries are discussing the merits of
probable candidates with almost as much
interest as if the campaign was already
upon us. 1t looks as II all this discus
sion is premature, and that it would be
well TO remember the old prOverb, "Sufii-
ciert into the day is the evil thereof" 1t
is asserted, however, that several Guber-
Material aspirants are already manGuvre-
ing for positions of vantage so as to be
ready for short, sharp and decisive work
when the campaign actual opens. 1t is
not likely, though, that any Of the as
pirants will be taken by surprise, as, if
common reports are correct, they are all
wide awake and watching each other with
eagle eyes.
Some Of these aspirants are said to feel
quite hopeful since 1t has been stated,
With what authority it is not very we'll
settled, that Gov. Mcdaniel will not be a
candidate for the next term. should he
be candidate and should there be no
question as to his eligibility to second
reelection, he would probably meet with
very little opposition. His administration
has been a most successful one. 1t may
well be said that It is unanimously in
dorsed by the people of the State without
regard to politics, race, color or previous
condition. 1t is probable that the COVER
nor is not of the opinion that he is ineligi-
BILE to reelection, but that he has deter
mined not to enter the contest in order to
relieve the party of all embarrassment on
the subject.
The other names that are being dis
cussed by the press are those Of Hon. A.
0. Bacon OF Macon, Judge +. j. Simmons
OF the same place, col. e. Z. Howell Of
Atlanta, and DR.. II. IL. Carleton OF Ath-
ems. The probabilities are that the names
of other gentlemen viii come TO the front
before long. Neither Of the above gentle
mon has publicly announced himself as a
candidate. and II seems that il is only sur
missed that any one Of them is preparing
for the contest. 1t is generally admitted
that DR.. FELTON, is entirely out Of the race,
but the woods are probably full of dark
horses. 1t is presumed that tits unneces-
sary 20 discuss the question as TO whether
there will be a Republican candidate.
Tho State Democratic Convention will
meet in about year, and it will have
good material from which to select q can
didate. In the meantime the aspirants
and their friends will do well to remem-
Der that the race is not always to the
swift or the battle 10 the strong.

A St. Louis Story.

Those who step aside from the path of
honor or virtue sooner or later, as rule,
have to pay the penalty attached to the
violation of the laws of nature or the laws
Of the land.
Three years ago st. Louis was excited
by one of the most sensational scandals
that had disturbed that city for many
years. Mr.. Rushton Travis and Frank
lglehart were handsome, rich and sue
cessiul business men. They were Young,
great fayorites in society, and fast
friends. Mr.. Travis was married
His wife was the daughter OF
an old and honored family, and was very
beautiful. MIR. Travis suspected that his
wife thought more Of his friend Iylehart
than she ought TO. He became Jealous
and began to watch her closely. One
night he saw her come from hotel with
lglehart. He opened fire at once on lyle
hart, and succeeded In wounding him
severely.
Mrs. Travis separated from her husband
and returned to her fathers house. In
the course Of few months she procured
divorce. Her divorced husband, how
ever, declared that he could not live with
out her. lie sought her again in marriage,
and was successful. They lived together
a little while, quarreled, and Mr.. Travis
committed suicide.
After the st. Louis scandal lglehart
went to New York and, few weeks ago,
made his way to Chicago. lie had sue
ceeded at nothing since the 81. Louis
affair. His money soon gave out in Chi
cago and he was turned out of his hotel.
He spent his last dime for whisky aud
then sought watery grave in the lake
He was rescued by some fishermen and
sent to the hospital, where day or two
ago he was suffering from the delirium
tremens and was expected TO die at any
moment. What became OF the woman (?
She appears 10 have been lost sight OF.
A London paper states that Henry
Irving achieved his greatest success
while In this country in the states OF Mas
sachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania and
Chicago. When an English editor doesn't
know anything about geography he just
makes it to suit himself.

Books for the Guest Chamber,

At one time was staying in a house
where the guest chamber contained
among the furniture little shelf Of
books. have often thought of them
since, with wonder that more care
full hostesses did not provide the same.
Nights when could not sleep, and
mornings when waited in my room
for the breakfast bell, l dipped into the
contents-a volume or two of poems,
some short stories, and interesting
travels comprised the whole and
found not the least pleasant part of my
visit in those quiet moments by the
window which overlooked the great,
old-fashioned garden Any house.
keeper could spare six or eight books
from her library, and almost any guest
would bless her for the thought. A
little work-basket fully stocked; pen,
ink and paper ready to hand.--the
visitor cares nearly as much for these
as for fresh. towels and extra coverings.
The golden rule, which is a guide to all
branches of good housekeeping, as to
all branches of all business, comes to
ones aid here, and what we care most
for in another's home we should en-.
deavor to give the conner to our own.
