On that day the weather became clear, and

Robert Miller, a rag-picker, of Pittsburg,
Pa, has compelled his son Charles to search
the streets and ash dumps for rags, and if
the boy failed to return with the bag filled
he received beating. The boy finally re-
fused to perform. the duty imposed upon
him, and his father locked him in his room
and fed him on bread and water. Last
week James Watson, another rag-picker,
offered to trade Miller yellow dog for the
boy. He said he would find work to do for
him at home where he could be watched.
Miller agreed. He hitched the dog to his
cart, and expressed himself entirely salts
fed with the bargain. The lad did not ap-
preciate the treatment that he received in
his new home any more than he did with
his father, and ran away for the second time.
Now Watson sues Miller for the recovery of
his dog. In the meantime the Humane So
ciety has taken charge of the boy.

VILAS' LETTER.

The letter of Postmaster General Villas to
Democratic Congressman, in regard to chan
ges in fourth class postmasters, is varlously
commented upon in Washington. Repub-
lican members thought at first that 1t was
an invention to satiriZe the administration.
Democrats, on the other hand, speak OF 1t
as lively attempt to hunt obscure postmas-
tiers with brass band. The latter class al
so condemn the plan as tending to make
them detectives, informers, and establish
ing in their district a system of espionage
that does not belong to their congressional
duties. The fourth class post offices IN the
United States number about forty-nlne
thousand, and the whole number of Pres
idential appointments is less than twenty
four hundred. The fourth class postmas-
