THE use of natural gas for fuel in the natural gas regions is causing experiment and agitation with artificial gas. It is claimed that at three times the first cost of heating or cooking by coal, gas is the cheaper by saving of labor, dirt and cost of methods of using.

The annual report of the postmaster general is furnished to the press week in advance of the meeting of congress, and in the matter of finances the showing for the year is the worst we have had for sev- eral years, there being total net defi- ciency of $9, ,3S1 ,571 Al, which is more than $3, ,000, ,O00 greater than the deficiency for the preceding year, while for the year ending June 30, 1883, there was net sur plus of $1 ,033, ,233.17 This shows fall ing off in two years of over nine millions four hundred thousand dollars. The ex- planation is made that this is due to the loss in revenue from the reduction in the rate of letter postage, and also to the ir- crease of expenditures due to the natural growth of the country.
 The death of Alfonso, king of Spain, leaves the throne of that interesting king dom vacant, and exposed to all the misfor- tunes of probable revolutions. The queen has been appointed regent during the mi nority of her four-year old daughter, the heir apparent to the throne. The carlists will undoubtedly avail themselues of this opportunity to foment disorder and to at- tempt the overthrow of the present gov ernment; while strong republican ele- ment is likely to antagonize the rule of royalty, and to aim at the re-establishment of the republic. So, after the horrors of earthquake and cholera are likely to come the terrors of revolution-and with all it may truly be said that the lot of Spain is not happy one.

.sCLoyER LEAVES. ."-Messrs. D. Lothrop & Go. of Boston, will issue before the holi- days work under the above title, which will be compilation of the best poems Of the late Miss Ella NJ Baker of Stafford Springs. The publication is made in be- half of her family and friends. Originally a modest volume was contemplated solely for private circulation, but 1t was found that so wide spread an interest was felt in the work by those who had known the la- mented young authoress, or had felt the inspirations of her writings, that it was decided to considerably enlarge the work, likewise the edition, to meet the unexpect- ed demand
 We do not need to say in this communi- ty, where Miss Bakers fine qualities were so well appreciated, that her writings were always with purpose, and that always to do good, never with thought of self or of self-glorification. Her poems were gen. erally addressed to some friend, planned solely for that friends need under some stress of affiiction or other need of synlpa- 1 thizing expressions. Yet they were such as appealed to all hearts, being full of heart impulse. They found their way in- l mand for her productions from the best 1 literary critics in charge of the best peri odical literature. From the most unex- pected source since her deccase have come to her family letters from those who have read her poems, felt their worth, and de- sired to become possessed of copies of her collected versiications. Also from friends who have enclosed poems written only fol the eye of q friend, and which they de sired might be added to the published collection, so that dainty volume of some 300 pages is to be put out, and of an edi
 tion sufficiently large so that those who desire copies and will address Mrs. G. H Baker. Stafford Springs, Conn. can proba bly, secure them. The work will also con tain brief sketch of Miss Baker by Rev B. E. Warner, formerly of Stafford Springs and the author of several wide read works
 Miss Bakers writings cannot be tot widely circulated. They are full of re ligious sentiment of the most catholi.
 kind. She never wrote line but with
 good motive, and more unselfish being never lived. She was full of the mos charitable feeling. She felt the suffering of others, and also the keenest pleasure il their joys. No parent will ever regre putting in the hands of a child Q copy o ) these expressions of one of the noblest 0 , souls
