A vasary OF the Toilet.

One of the vagaries Of the toilets Of fash

When Jeffersonian simplicity first struck

proves too swift altogether. The dear peo-

he has been compelled to shut himself up.

One of the seyerest arraignments of the
policy of Postmaster General Villas in re-
gard to the foreign mail service yet published
appeared few days ago in the New York
Sun, evidently written by lawyer. The
ground taken was that Col Villa is in con-
tempt of congress. wherever the supreme
power in state, the writer argues, 'tacting
with unquestioned jurisdiction, enacts poll
-ex for the hene6t of its own neople inresnect
to business of current necessity like that
of transporting the mails, and provides the
means, supervises the terms, and declares
the instruments by which alone it shall be
conducted, its authorization to carry out that
policy is a command to any subordinate who
may accept the Office; or government is
sham" The Suns correspondent doesn't
believe that such men as Messrs. Randall,
Hewitt Morrison and Carlisle will back up
Mr.. Villas in such behavior.

differences in the Liberal party have not
