Our Mails.

Mr.. EDIToR-In common with many
of my fellow citizens, l am growing very
weary Of our mail methods. am glad
to testify to the general Efficiency of our
local postmaster. although we differ pc
litically, and wish to turn him out, y
but must protest against the methods
at Tasley station. l continually miss my
daily papers four days-papers within
five hours OF this office. Letters from
Norfolk reach here not infrequently
from five to eight days, and Philadelphia
four to six. For one my patience is
threadbare. mention Tasley especial
ly because Il friend tells me las All exam
pie of matters) that last night registered
and others were Lying around loose"
on the floors and the bags had to be
brought back after delivery to carriers
to receive matter left. Now, sir, this
of itself is an outrage. But. my friend
goes further. He says it is not unconI-
mon for the carrier to assert his mail!
Sir, this is utt erly intolerable. | make
no charge against the carriers believe
both entirely honest. I make no charge
of dishonesty against the station post
master, for believe he to be honest;
but, do charge HIM with gross neglect,
and permitting his Office to he run" by
outsiders wilfully and unlawfully to the
detriment of the service and injury to
the public. And / demand, with the
whole people, an immediate and clear re-
form in the matter. fittings are to go
on as at Tasley-and hear they exist at
other points-we had as we'll return to
the ''old blind boss and stick gig We
have just escaped. am afraid we've
''swapped the devil for witch" and
got burnt in the trade. Can't you do
something in the premises for us?

A Homeopathic View.

The American homeopathic says:
"Gen. Washington was murdered by his
medical attendants but at least they
were heroically-too herOically -en-
deavoring to extinguish the disease.
Their brutality was of the active sort,
and in purpose commendabie, though
disastrous in result. Gen. Garfield was
maltreated for months under an error
of diagnosis, and at last escaped beyond
the reach OF his eminent torturers..
Here, also, there was much medical
heroism and activity displayed; albeit
misdirected. Other illustrlous patients
have suffered from eminence IN the pro
fession; but Gen. Grant seems reserved
as shining example, OF c0ld-DLooded
expectancy. To him the little group OF
eminence have nothing to offer but d
diagnosis. For him they propose no re-
lief but in the grave. Ignoring the on
ly source of therapeutic salvation, they
gather round his bedside to observe his
unaided struggle. The fiat has gone
forth that nothing can be done; and
nothing will be permitted to be done.
Those who question such decision are
Guacks and cranks; but who ought not
TO be proud of such a designation from
such 4 source. Scholarly, refined, Gull
tured, earnest gentlemen as they are, Of
what avail are all these good qualities
in the presence of such therapeutic
bankruptcy. Like another eminent
parsonage in this city, who six years ago
was dying of gangrene OF the lung, and
who had been consigned by an eminent
medical coterie into the hands of God
but to whom the proper homeopathic
remedy Eucalyptus brought salvation;
so Gen. Grant, under proper treatment,
might have been saved. On the con-
traTy, while sO-called scientific medicine
is to the fore, well may the daily papers
announce in startling headlines, "A bad
day for Gen. Gcant-SeVen doctors in
consultation !"
