West Virginia Post Offices.

The annual statement of the P. o.
Department of the adjustment of
the salaries of the Presidential post
masters is of unusual interest. This
is the first statement made since the
two cent postage has been in opera
tion,for the four quarters of the fiscal
year. The last report covered six
months under the old three cent law
and six under the two cent law. and
consequently did not offer a fair ba-
sis of calculation with reference to
the results of the change. This year,
however, is a fair test of the decrease
under the two cent law, and this fall
ing off is not so radical or extended
as was a year or two ago anticipated.
There are 1874 Presidential offices
rclegated to the fourth class out of
1858 postomccs. OF the latter num-
Der II are first class Offices, 3S2 Sec
ond class, 1,766 third class. New
Presidential offices Gall third class)
are u, and thc total number of Pres
idential offices to begin the new yea
is 2,231. In West Virginia the

WASHINGTON, June 23.-The Re
pubIicans at the Senate end of the
Capitol are evidently going to make
a clean sweep. so: farSas the Dem
ocrats in position there are concerned.
There is about a dozensof the Senate
employees, who are Democrats, re-
tanned when Congress adjourned last
March. Since then, under i%nstruc-
ton it is alleged, of the Republican
caucus committee, the Democrats
have from time to time been dropped
from the pay rolls. The latest vic
tim is Mr.. G.. F. Cross, of Harper's
Ferry. MIR. Cross was one of the
most efficient officers the Senate has
ever had. He was appointed through
the influence of Henry G. Davis,
when the Senate was controlled by a
Democratic majority and was rapidly
promoted until he filed one the most
important positions under the Ser
geant-at-arms. a few days ago he
was notified that his services would
be discontinued on and after July L.
1t is said that the Sergeant-at-Arms
was 10th to part with Mr.. Cross.
Strong influences, however, were
brought to bear on him some months
ago to give Cross place to q Repub-
lican, but he regarded Cross as too
efficient an officer to part with him
during the session of the Senate
Since then Republican Senators have
been very clamorous and the Ser
geant-at-Arms has been compelled to
let Cross go. Both Senators Camden
and Kcnna have done all that they
could to have him retained. All of
the Senators on the Democratic side
signed a petition asking for Cross
retention, and the Sergeant-at-Arms
was disposed to comply with their
request, but the Republican Caucus
Committee insisted on Cross removal
and the Sergeant-at-Arms was COM
PEELED to acquicsce.
It might he added, that from a po-
litical point of view, the Republican
Senators were correct, but when the
Democrats controlled the Senate
patronage Republicans drew moro
than half the amount of money APP
propriatcd to pay the Senate officers
and employees. In the departments
now, although the administration is
Democratic, a very few Republicans,
comparatively speaking, have been
disturbed. The Democrats should
follow the example of their opponents
and remove every" offensive Repub-
lican PARTISAN" $40 the victors
belong the spoils!"

London, June 23.-The PaH-lEall
Go@ette prints a hitherto unpublished
proclamation of the Ameer of Afghan
istan to his subjects, issued in 1882.
1t reviews the historyof the Afghans,
claiming that theyare descended from

traces their descent from Adam
through Jacob, their subsection in
Egypt, their deliverance thercfrom
by Moses, their ~wanderings in the

He was the leading spirit of the

He died trying to win q wager that

A very fit ending for such a life.
There has been great mortality among

monumental fraud. Every villain of
them, dead or alive, deserves the cx-

An Aeronaut,s FrIghtfuI Death.

On Friday week Richards circus
was announced to exhibit at Charles
ton, this State, and among the dttrae-
tionspromised was a free balloon a :
cention. Hundreds of people gath
cred on the grounds in the afternoon
to witness the aerial flight. The aero
naut was William Patterson, aged
twenty-five, of Wellsville, o., who had
been with the show but three weeks
and had eve made an ascension
AT 2 O'Clock a large canvass balloon
was inflated with hot air and Patter-
son took his seat in the basket.
The ropes were cut and the balloon
started, but had not gone ten feet
when flames were observed bursting
from the canvass above his head.
The accident occurred by the over
turning of aehot-air- stove used in in
fating- the balloon. The burning
balloon SHOT up in the air at a very
rapid rate. When a short distance
up the crowd yelled, Jump" but
Patterson did not heed the advice, and
after going several hundred feet up
the balloon collapsed and he fell to
the earth an almost IifeIess mass.
Those who witnessed the affair de-
scribe it. as horrrfying in the ex-
IRENE. Patterson's body turned
over a number of times before reach
ing the ground. His back, legs and
arms were broken, while fatal internal
injuries were sustained.
The body was sent to Wellsburg,
where the wife and children of the
unfortunateeman reside.

IN inventor living in G!cnS Falls, ~
y, has recently perfected II roller pulp
machine by which sawdust Nhavings,
chips or any refuse Of mills can be made
into Il tirst-c'ass quality Of printing paper
without even the addition as has hereto
fore been found necessary, of expensive
material like rags, cotton or iutc. 1t has
also bison found possible to make fan
quality Of paper from the debris Of sugal
cane. cotton stalks, wild hemp, and ever
weeds while soft woods like spruce, pine
fir, hcmlock and poplar make paper in
every way as good as the be.t quality now
used by the newspapers. Some made en-
tircly from sawdust had q tensile strength
per square inch of seventeen pounds
while the average rag paper has a strength
of but twelve pounds.
The new machine presses the material
between immense rollers, which roll over
it an innumcrabe number of times rs they
revolvc within an inclo-cd cylinder, the
inner surface of thi, cylinder forming an
endless bed, on which the rollers roll the
material being continuously forced under
these rollers by its circulation. The dis
indignation is assisted by the action Of
steam under pressure of fifty to eighty
pounds, TO which is added II small per
cent of alkali, which ncutrnli'cs the acids
and destroys the gum Of the wood, The
steam and alkali also softcns and tou9hcns
the fibre so that it is not broken hv the
rollers. Paper made from this pulp is
adapted to the manufacture" OF pals
barrels, and holdings or from the best
grades pure white paper can be made,
and that at "a reduction over tn" Old way,
it is claimed, of from 30 to % per cent.
