CHAPTER ii.
A FAMILY OF POSITION.

Be It remembered that Oakbury is not
Blacktown. Many of its inhabitants are
greatly annoyed when they hear it called n
suburb of Blacktown. Oakbury is near the
large city, but not of it, Although the fact
cannot he ignored that the existence Of the
many charming country houses which adorn
Oakbury is us much due to its contiguity to
the dirty thriving town as to its natural
beauties--and although certain proportion
Of those desirable residences has been pur
chased by Blacktown's successful traders, the
most aristocratic inhabitants Of Oakbury look
with indifference on the good and evil for
tunes Of the city. They, the aristocratic in
habitants, are useful to Blacktown, not
Blacktown to them. They are ont of its dis
sensions and struggles; better still, beyond
the range of its taxation. They are Of the
county, not the town. So they head their
letters "Oakbury, Westshire;" and, a. a rule,
decline intimacy with any Blacktown trader
under the rank Of banker or merchant prince.
Besides Lord Kelston's we'll known country
seat, there must be in the parish Of Oakbury
some 20 or % gentlemen's residences. They
cannot I've called estates, as the ground at
tached to each varies respectively from three
to fifty acres, but not few Of them might
lay claim to be described by that well-round-
ed phrase, dear to auctioneers and house
agents, "a country mansion, fit for the occu-
patton and requirements Of family Of posi-
ton" They are not new, speculative, jerry
built houses, but good, old-fashioned, solid
affairs. No painted and gilt ratings surround
them; thick boundary walls and fine old trees
hide them from the gaze Of inquisitive holt
day folks AS the country around is very
beautiful and richly timbered as the prevail
ing wind which blows across Oakbury comes
straight from the sea, pure and uncontam-
mated as two Of the best packs Of hounds
In England meet within an easy distance;
and prejudice notwithstanding, as the con-
veniences offered by a large city are so close
at hand-it is no wonder that the rector of
Oakbury numbers many families Of position
among his parishioners II mine were fam
lily of position, II should most certainly oc-
cupy a pew in that fine, old square-towered
church.
After this description II will be easily be-
lieved that the Oakbury people are somewhat
exclusively the Oakbury people are meant
the inhabitants of the aforesaid twenty
houses; the manner Of the villagers and other
small fry who constitute the residue of the
population need not be taken into account.
The Oakbury people proper are very particu-
lar as to with whom they associate, and the
most particular and exclusive of all are two
gentlemen named Talbert, the joint owner,
and occupiers Of Hazlewood House.

vases with bdeous dragons creeping round
them, and gaping, grinning kylins, who
looked mockingly and fearlessly at the fierce
metal monsters. They knew-old china

the dragons were welded to their vases more
irrefragibly than Prometheus to his rock.

by a sober-hued Persian carpet, and of course

The Talberts looked very grave-as grave
and solemn as Roman fathers in high debate.
They were, indeed, discussing weighty mat
ter. After an interval Of silence, Herbert
rose and walked to his brothers side. The
two looked critically down the table. They
went to the bottom and looked up the table.
They went to the sides and looked across the
table; they even sent glances diagonally from
corner to corner.

already nearly forgotten which it was--mus,

bound to exercise before they made a new
acquaintance.
Because, you see, in their opinion at least
the faint of trade still chung to them. They
were but generation removed from the
actual buying, selling and chaffering. Meta
phorically speaking their own fathers hands
had been hardened by the timber, stained by
the tobacco, lathered by the soap, made
sticky by the sugar, according to the particu-
lar branch of trade at which he had worked
to such advantage. SO it was that upon at

that could be seen except mass OF bright

one, for, shortly after the train started, he

who had felt somewhat disguised when q

began to hope that, after all, he need not shift
his quarters at the first stoppage.

NOT TO CARRY OUT THE LAW.

Postmaster General Villas Decides the
Mall Subsidy Act in Need OF Amend-
ment.
With the approval of the President, and
after consultation with tho Cabinet, the
Postmaster General has decided not to
advertise for bids to enter into contracts
for the transportation of the foreign mails
upon mileage basis. under the permits
sivo authority conferred by the act of
Congress Of March 3, 1885, which author.
lied tho Postmaster General to enter into
contracts for the transportation Of any
part of the foreign mails, after legal ad-
vertisement, with the lowest responsible
bidder, at q rate not exceeding so cents a
nautical mile on the trip each way nc.
tually travelled between tho terminal
points, provided that tho mails 80 con-
tracted for shall be carried ON American
steamships, and that the aggregate of such
contracts shall not exceed one-half Of the
sum appropriated.
The Postmaster General thinks that
the rates now paid give adequate compen-
sation wherever mails are carried in con-
siderable volume, and that the authority
10 exercised with a view to aid the Amer
lean steamship companies. The act of
March 3 docs not profess to put tho
money in tho Postmaster Generals hands
for any purpose other than to carry tho
mails. 1t would require three times the
authority to give all lines the rate OF 80
cents per milo. II q general distribution
Of the appropriation among all American
steamship lines on tho basis Of mileage
were TO bo made, tho amount to each
would be so small as to avail nothing as
a stimulant to increase the number OF
vessels or tho frequency or speed of their
voyages. In fact, If tho whole of the
appropriation should be distributed on
the basis OF the present number of YES.
sells and mileage, no indueement would re-
main for increase. 1t has seemed, there
fore, better to remit the subject to Con-
gress for more explicit legislation.than to
attempt to distribute large sum of pub
lie money not in fact required for the
use for which it was appropriated, merely
because tho act of Congress gives the
license.

tion IL is but natural that thore should
bo many aspirants for the position Of
District commissioner, and yet n careful
review of the powers and duties Of that
officer will show that the former are
limited and the latter very arduous.
In tho selection Of a commissioner, who
is a municipal officer, the President has
all tho travail and labor Of nominating
convention as we'll rs Of an elective com.
munity. In city whero there 10 suffrage
the mayor is elected by majority Of the
votes cast, and the minority, who are dis
appointed, vent their disgust during the
campaign. The mayor, too when elected,
has his whole majority behind him to
support and uphold him in his acts. But
owing to our anomalous form Of govern.
mcut the commissioners have nothing to
support them but the record Of their ad-
ministratiou, while they are the target
of abuse from ovory dissatisfied clique in
the community.
Tho President is evidently very much
unsettled In the matter OF tho appoint.

he has received has been oolored by per-

Tho appointment Of one Republican
and ono Democratic commissioner has
been tho policy since the establishment
of the present government and as both
political parties have been recognized by
Republican Presidents, IL is fair to pre-.
sumo that this practice will bo continued
by Mr.. Cleveland. He may conclude, undor
the opinion of Attorney General Brewster,
which was the latest rendered, and which
went more fully iuto tho merits Of tho
case than did that Of Con. Devons, that

West to serve his eighteen days and then
either reappoint him or select some other
Republican, or ho may hold that Mr.. Ed
monds can servo for three years from the
date Of his commission and only appoint
n Republican. This would greatly anger
the Democrats, who have u number Of
candidates from their ranks, and who
are anxious for recognition from the ad-
ministration, but President Cleveland
has already shown by his appointments
in other localities that those who are the
most clamorous for Office usually get left.
