COST OF TIE MAIL SERVICE.
Sixth Auditor MoConviIle's Report of
PostofIice Accounts.

Sixth Auditor McConville has submitted to
the Postmaster General his annual report upon
the financial operations Of the Posto.iice De-
partment during the last fiscal year. From the
report II appears that the gross postal revenues
were $4,000, ,Si3: expenditures, sia,3lT,1S3-eS-
cess of expenditures over revenue, SG,T5G,3ij.
To this deficiency, says the auditor, should be
added the amounts certified to the Puciflc rail-
roads for mail transportation (Sl,3iO, ,2lj) and
the estimated unadiusted liabilities for 1885
(s2S500O), making total deficiency of SS,3Sl,-
57l. The deficiency last year was Sl,967,i2l, or
S3,i1i, lag less than the present deficiency The
revenues show falling Off of s7Gj, ,ll5 while
the expenditures have increased S1,Ul2,32S.
This result is attributed to the reduction In let
ter postage and the general business depression.
The principal items of expenditure were us
follows: Railway transportation, Sl3.b5S,3l3;
postmastcrs' salaries, s1l,2i3,SiS; salaries OF
posoflice clerks, G,ST3 S5j; star route transpor-
iation, s5,i03, ,259 railway postal clerks, a,3l6,-
100: free delivery service, S3,9Sj0Jl; railway
postal car service, sl70g,9 936; transportation Of
foreign mails, s325, ,iG2. The value of the post
nge stamps sold was 2i0050,225 The profits Of
the money order business was Sl0S,933; the
amount Of the balances paid by foreign coun-
tries for mail transportation was SiiGpjj, aud

has also been quoted as authority for u g statement that upon his return home Mr. Beavor-Webb intends to put centreboard and laced mainsail upon the Galatea, sup posed to be the coming English cutter and designed and built, as well as the Genesta by MT. Webb. The Galatea is one of the trio in connection with the Irex and Marjorie with which the British press, foreseeing the defeat of the Genesta, has been pleased to threaten as.
 It only remains for me to express the indi- vidual opinion that the Puritan can outlive and out-foot the Genesta in any weather and in any water. Also to thank your corre- spondent "Salmo" for some interesting facts and figures which he kindly furnished, and to suggest that the fruitless discussion of the cutter question be suspended until some typical British cutter be produced capable of making better showing with our new type of American sloop than the Genesta ever has or ever will be able to make with the Puri- tan.

A Great Victory , A Terrible Case of ScrofuIa
 Cured by
 L~@J1@ HsJfa :

6 In the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms. At one time had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and around nay neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass of bloody matter disgusting to behold, and almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, was worse than ever. Finally, on the recommendation of W. J. Huntley, druggist of Lockport, I was induced to try Hoods Sarsapari1la. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and the abScesseS have all disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully lesS.' do not know what 1t may have done for others, but l do know that in my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an effective specific indeed. As an evidence of my gratitude send these facts unsolicited, and I am ready to verify the authenticity of this cure, by personal correspondence with any one who doubts u.o CHARLES A. ROB- ERTs, East Wilsons N. Y.

ROME IN SUMMER.

The Health and Climate of the Eter-
 nal City-TOpography of the Cam
 pagna, Etc., Etc.
 [The following extracts from a letter sent from Rome to 8 friend in this city during the past season will be of interest to the pub lie.
 ssSunny Italy" is a proverbial expression which has led to many false notions first and last. Many have an idea, for example, that Italy is tropical place, delightful to reside in during the winter, but quite uninhabita- ble in summer The truth is, on the contra ", that the Italian winters, if not as cold, are almost as uncomfortable as ours, while the heat of an Italian summer very rarely equals the intense degree which has prevailed ali over the United States this season and in many previous seasons. The Roman fe- ver," too, is nothing but a bugbear. The natives never have the "fever," LOT do for eigners who are able and willing to take of themselves. The thing to do at Rome, which is in reality one of the healthiest cities in the world, is to wear underfannels day and night all the year round. This is rendered necessary by the great fall of the mercury every night there. Strangers apt to ina agine that they can dress in Rome as they would in Ceylon. If they do so they catch cold and fever, and then complain of the climate So far as the warmth of Italy is concerned, I need only say that I had to wear winter fannels and a light overcost in Rome every day the past spring until the sec ond week in May, and then often yearned for my distant ulster. It is hot in summer in the middle of the day, in Italy, of course, but go it is in Montreal; and I do not be- lieve the summers there are as uncomforta- ble, on an average, as in New York or Phila- delphia. Indeed, Rome, with the cool, sha- dy hill-towns surrounding it, is not such bad summer residence, after all. This sub ject of the health of Rome is an important one and involves 8 consideration of its situ- ation and surroundings which cannot fail to be of some interest.
 The approaches to Rome are various. Some approach it by the Cunard line, others prefer the Anchor or Inman line, and others the Italian line by way of Gibraltar. Some go around through Marseilles and the Riviera by the coast road, some climb over the Alps, and some pierce the tunnels under Mts. Cen is and St. Gotthard. But stall roads lead to Rome," and it makes little difference by which road one approaches it. The main thing is to approach it as quickly as possi- ble; and the most serious mistake the travel CT can make is to neglect visiting this most interesting and inspiring of cities.
 Rome's pre- eminence in old times was largely owing to its central position and the

men of real nobleman. Every effort to
 promote the welfare of his countrymen in re-
 1igion, morals, intelligence or physical com
 fort, had his sympathy and aid. He was
 president of the Ragged School union. of the
 British and Foreign Bible society, of the re-
 gently formed Victoria institute, whose aim
 is to maintain the substantial harmony of
 science and theology, and of many other so-
 cieties of like purposes. He was born in
 1901, and under his courtesy title of Lord Ashley sat ill the House of Commons from 1926 to 1851, when, on the death of his father, he succeeded to the title of Earl of Shaftesbury. Though an attentive and diligent legislator he had no personal ambi- tion, and took but little interest in general politics, but successfully urged the passage of laws for the reduction of the hours of labor, for improving workshops, factories and lodging houses, for the care of children and the improvement of the sanitary and moral condition of the humber classes.
 The financial condition of the country can perhaps, be as well judged by porters in ho tels as by anybody. At any rate, man who AnS OCO4 ACdt1 HO1 OuC Ol IuC ldLIlOus hotels in the White Mountain region for twenty eight years has been talking inter estingly about the matter. From nearly the beginning of his service this porter had kept a careful record of his receipts for each season from the patrons of the hotel, his ar with the proprietor being that he should discharge the duties of the place and take whatever be might get from the guests as his pay. This record shows that the most portion of his service was shortly after the close of the war, from 1866 to 1868, his receipts in one of these years reaching the handsome total of $1 1000 for the three months and third that the hotel was open There was no material change until the panic of 1873, which sent his fees down rap idly and steadily. The business boom of 1879 80 temporarily arrested this downward but did not produce any perma- nent improvement in the balance-sheet, which showed only about s4oO for the season of 1883 .---.-..i

 A curious curfew law has been adopted in
 Ogden, Utah. The bells are sounded at or
 g p. m., according to the season, and after
 that hour boys girls under sixteen years

 parent, guardian or friend, or unprovided with permit. A similar law is in operation in California and Nevada towns.
 Christians with knowledge of medicine used to be in great demand as missionaries, but now doctors with smattering of relig- ion have the call. The Edinburgh Medical Missionary society advertises for tdoctors who have some regard for religion, or who would occasionally conduct religious ser vices' in New Zealand. The advertiser says that the people of Wairarapu are prepared to give $1 800 year to "a young medical man who has character for pisty or even gard for religion" and that he would be
 able to make g, 800 a year out of it.
 The young Democrats of Baltimore object to being ssbossed" any longer as they have been. Most of the wards have young mems 1 independent Democratic clubs. The bosses | have had to import Republicans into some 1 of the wards to carry their caucuses, and | these illegal measures have given more strength to the revolt Here is . specimen l of the talk that is popular among the young Democrats of Baltimore "A. P. German l was like Cesar. He thought himself greater 1 than the State, and it is necessary now to as- l sassinate him, not with daggers, but with that more effective weapon-the ballot. This idea will make the ring shiver in its shoes in l the next thirty days.'
 Aluminium, which forms large part of clay, is very useful metal, but it has hither- to coss 50 much to extract it from the clay that people could not afford to buy it. Though discovered many years ago and the l most skillful and ingenious chemists have striven to find out some cheap method of extracting it, they have hitherto only suc- ceeaed in lessening it's price, but not to that degnee as to make it generally useable in the arts. At first it was worth more than gold. Thirty years ago it sold for sixteen dollars an ounce, then it fell gradually to eight dollars, while within year or two the builders of the Washington monument purchased enough of it to make the cap for that monu- 1 ment for only two dollars an ounce. Now it is announced that German chemist in Phil adelphia. after working at the problem for twenty weight years, has discovered method of producing aluminium for only one dollar and twenty five cents 8 pound. If this re-
 port is true it will prove to be one of the
 most valuable discoveries of the age. It will
 work a revolution in the arts.

 When comparing the qualities of sloop and cutter in a previous communication the position then taken was first afforded and then fortified by the existence and invariable behavior of the Puritan.
