POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.
just What Influences are Considered
Views of the Postmaster General.
From she E'htladelphia Times.

From sAe Philqdelphia Times.
W WASHINGTON, June 22.-The Postmas-
ter General, in conversation with friend,
made some pertinent remarks in regard
to his views upon the true spirit and
practice of reform in his vast department.
He said:
"The postal service comes nearer to
every man, woman and child in the land
than any other branch OF the Executive
Department of the government. Their con-
Venience and comfort, and often their very
personal safety and success, are depend
ent upon its efficiency. For this reason
think 1t a violation OF every principle of
sound administration and "A due sense Of
otiiclal responsibility to treat or even TO
consider the postal service as a mere pO-
litical machine and its 10000 pOstmasters
and 100000, direct or indirect, employees
as an army of politicians to serve as
hepchmen TO some political chief, regard
less OF the interests of the public service
or Of the people,"
"The service has been so regarded since
the foundation OF political parties.'
THAT accounts for about all the scan
dals which have surrounded the service.
do not speak Of the matter in partisan
sense. In this particular there has been
no ground for discrimination. l think
this is good time to begin 10 break up
this notion that the postmasterships are
the peculiar property Of politicians, and
that everything must be subseryent 10
their convenience and purposes. | be-
lieYe, Of course, that the offices, as a rule,
should be given 10 persons who are in &C.
cord with the views Of the administration.
But there should be some discrimination
exercised, so as 10 secure the person who
is most satisfactory 20 the majority Of the
community In which the Office is situated.
Instances have occurred in which an en-
tire community supported one man, and
the member OF Congress insisted on an
other aud gained his point. This. think.

knowledge and consent while have any

than II mas ever reached. / think his
course thus far will sustain that high pur-

CRAZY MARGARETs'' MONEY.
Appearing in the Flesh to Find Her Es-
tate in Litigation.
IRON, the Neqo York Herald.

From the Eeqo York HeraH.
Hartford, CONN, June 22.-Margaret
Hennessy, known because of her eccen-
tricities as ''Crazy Margaret" has been a
character in this section for quarter of
a century. She was a valued house SER
want in her lucid periods and saved con-
siderable money. About year ago she
was seen in Wetherstield one day carry
ing a basket. and the following morning
the body of a woman was found on the
railroad, horribly mangled, with basket
beside it. The body was identified by
many rs that Of "Crazy Margaret and a
sister in Rockville, Conn, and a brother
in Long Island claimed her property,
(S2,965), deposited in a Hartford savings
bank.
The distribution has been delayed, ow-
ing to a claim by Hartford woman tor
500 for boarding the deceased. The adj
ministratOr, Rev. Father FurlOng, refused
payment, even after the claim had been
reduced to $500. Suit was threatened, and
result OF the controversy is the discov-
cry that "Crazy Margaret is not only
alive, but has been living quietly in Hart
ford as a servant for two years past. AS
she never read the papers and seldom
met any one outside of the family she had
heard nothing Of her reported death. The
administrator has seen the old lady, and
at his suggestion she has made a will,
which will avert any future fight over her
savings.
OF all the parties to the strange affair
none were more astonished than the at
torney in the board bill suit, who first
heard today of the change i'm the situation.

a REMARKABLE TEXAS WORM
An Insect that Puzzles the Early
Birds.

From TIE San Ant9nio ErDress
A gentleman living on North Flores
street, interested in entomology, but not
very familiar with Texan products, had
his attention called about week ago 10 a
large caterpillar, which apparently had
just fallen from a pecan tree. A black
bird lurked around, soured apparently at
losing a fat breakfast. The worm was
about the size of mans middle finger, OF
pale, blush green color, and has series
OF protuberances on its back, those near
the head being Of an orange color, while
the hinder ones were turquoise blue.

A NATURAL STORM SIGNAL.

A storm on the wild, iron bound coast
CT North Cornwall is not to be readily
forgotten by those who have seen it rage
in full force. Its coming is heralded by
focks of red-legged gulls skimming low
over the estllaries, making their way to
the marshy margins of streams far from
the coast {; lowering i'll troubled masses
above muddy fats, or circling with shrill
cries about sheltered farnlsteads. Fol-
lowing toward the land come several
coasting smacks and trawlers, making
swift way to secure Ravens under the
hills at st. Ives New Quay or Padstow.
There is sudden lull in the freshening
breeze; the waves that were beginning
to break into sharp edges of foam are,
for a moment, stilled and the colorless
sea, darkened by gathering clouds, looks
like molten lead Then the wind moves
again with hollow moan. A cry,
loud and clear, comes from overhead,
where great black-backed gull is soar
ing and wheeling like u falcon. "Fool-
ish guulemots" and razor-billed auks,
forsaking all at once their industrious
pursuit of small-fry under water, take
post in rows on the lodges of jagged
rocks, and stand there, a solemn white
vested congregation while low on the
sullen sea some Mother Careys chickens
are darting like swallows. Far out, but
yet too near those rugged crags and
peaks of black rock, solitary vessel is
making her way up channel under close
reefed topsails; ominous masses of heavy
Clouds have gathered quickly westward;
the sea is broken into short chopping
waves the booming thunder of surf
against sheer cliffs grows louder every
minute the bark is shrouded in drift
ing torrent of rain, across which pale
CLEAN of sunlight strikes and the wind
veering few points more toward the
north. begins to blow in furious gusts.
Now and again one hears a mysterious
noise, like the dull, distant report of
huge howitzer, followed by hoarse roaring
as Of II Titanic fog-horn. The stranger
who has never listened to such weird, I'M
earthly sounds before may well be puzzled
to account for them. Turning his glance
from the angry sea, he will observe
tall, misty column, like the vapor of a
geyser. That is spray forced by concus-
sion of air through one of those curious
shafts known alol the Cornish coast as
blow-h6les, and thence the strange bel
loving proceeds. There are many such
slaniing shafts in the cliffs hereabout,
all SO evidently artificial that they are
supposed to have been cut by smugglers
for tie greater convenience of landing
contraband goods.

THE CHINAMAN AND HIS COFFIN.

The idea of the Chinaman is that when
he dies he ought to be buried in the
trunk of tree, and so it comes about
that all collins are designed with view
to keep up the illusion. They consist
of four outside tree-boards, and are so
fashioned together as to look very like a
tree at little distance. They are, of
course tremendously heavy, but then
that is considered an excellent fault. If
Il son wishes to be very polite to his
father, or one friend desires to obtain
the good will of another, he makes him
Il present OF good, solid, heavy coffin.
The gift is put i'll an honored place in
the house, ready for use and is shown
for the admiration of any friend who
may call The owner would rather go
into his coffin than part with it; and
generally speaking, though ChinamaE
may get into debt and be very harshly
treated by his creditors, they will leave
his coffin, not wishing to prejudice his
entry into the next world, which, accord
ing to the Celestials, depends very much
upon the way in which a man is buried.
1 was told that half the Chinese living
in Hong Kong were already in happy
possession of their collins, and ready to
enter them when wanted
