THERE ARE DIFFERENCES OF OPINION, BUT
NOT SUCH AS THREATEN THE HARMONY OF
THE PARTY.
At Waukesha, Wis, on Saturday a correspon.
dent of the New York San had an interview
with Vice President Hendricks regarding
recent Washington dispatch to the Philadel.
phia Times, which imputed to him sentiments
that threatened the unity of the democratic
party, and would precipitate conflict between
the PRESIDENT and considerable portion of his
party in Congress. MIR. Hendricks said: "The
charge that am not on terms OF personal
friendship with the President is pure fiction.
As to our political relations there may be some
differences, but only such as may exist between
equally sincere men striving for the same end.
AS to the charge that am openly secretly con-
cerned in movement having for its purpose
nothing could be more fictitious" Re-
garding alleged divergence Of views between
himself and the President as to the construc-
tlOn OF the civil service law as to the diStribu-
ton OF Offices, the Vice President said: There
are points of difference between us, but not
such difference would warrant the state
Washington for several months, and have only
seen the President once of late-at Gen. Grants
nave mad any communications with Senators
or Representatives that would afford opportu-
nifty for such a combination as that to
to further questions Mr.. Hendricks said:
~ am democrat believe the democratic
party party Is right and believing this, want to do
serve its ends. 1believe the welfare of the peo-
pie will be promoted by the continuance Of the
party in power. 1t shall be my aim to preserve
the unity and harmony of the democratic par
ty. That is the first consideration. 1t is essen
tial to success and to the maintenance of dem
ocratic Institutions. That is the first duty of
every citizen, and shall do my part
Referring to the ado about the Indianapolis
pOst-office, Mr.. Hendricks said: "The talk over
the affair is absurd. The truth of the matter is
simply this After Mr. Jones was appointed
through my influence he employed such SUBJ
ordinates as he saw fit, without any sOlicita-
date OF his appointment up to two days ago

Anthracite.
Philadelphia Record

There is material for serious study
in the reports of coal consumption.
The output of the anthracite for
elght months OF the present year was
!69, 357 tons less than the production
for the corresponding period of last
year. 1t was over 81, 500, 600 tons less
than the amount sent TO market for
the first eight months OF 1883. There
is evidence of a steady decline in
anthracite consumption, while the
volume of the bituminous trade up to
this time has exceeded the OUTPUT for
the same period of 1884 by 443. 437
tons. The decline in the aggregate
consumption of anthracite and BIZ
luminous Goals is traced by many to
the inactivity of the railroad and iron
Interests, but it is probable that the
gigantic combinations of coal carriers
and producers is responsible for most
OF the decentralization of the trade and
for the curtailment of the demand.

THE MAIL IN CHINA.
How Xetters Are Distributed I'm the
Celestial Empire.
Cassell,s Family Magazine.

Butas regards letters, a considerable
proportion Of the 400, 200, 900 China
men do occasionally exchange letters
those who can not write for them>
selves hiring scri5es to do so. These
letters are consigned to firms which
have houses in all the large towns,
where letters are forwarded, to distant
ports, TO be distributed by special
agents, who generally collect the pos,
tage from the receiver. There was
certainly something comic in the fact
that when China was no longer able
to exclude foreigners from Pekin, our
British postal arrangements were no
sooner established than some of the
imperial officers came to ask Sir Fred
erlck Bruce to forward certain state
documents for them between Pekin
and Canton. On the death Of the
Emperor HiefLng, which occurred
just at that time, intimation thereof
was sent from his country palace "a
distance of 800 Ii, which is upward OF
200 miles, in twenty-four hours,
which is the highest speed attainable
In China. But the placid Celestials,
to whom hurry appears form of vul-
gar impotence, and to whom tele-
graphs are an abomination, are con
tent that all ordinary communications
should be conveyed either by slow
padding polling boats, or else by fool
runners, whose high-seunding title OF
''the thousand mile horse" does not
quicken their pace beyond about
twelve miles in twenty>four hours.
They carry a paper lantern and pa.
per umbrella, and their letter bag is
secured on their back by cloth knot
ted across the chest.
