The London Postomce.

Foreign Letter.
The London postofiice is a great insti-
tuition. A street divides the two depart
mcnts, one occupied by tho business Of
letters and papers, the other with rele-
graphing. In Britain telegraphing is
part of tho regular postolfice system.
The general postofiice building is an i'm
posing edifce of the Ionic order. Il is
400 feet long, 130 wide, and sixty-four
high. The best time to see the outside
rush is just before 6 p. M, at which hour
the night mail closes. Emand boys, hat
less clerks, business men. everybody
jams forward to get his bundle Of letters
into the long zjnc-edged or coppar-faced
opening before the hour strikes. Exact
~ at the 'a.a..e the office closes. and all
letters that are in haste must have an
extra stamp en- them if they go that
night
The extra stamp business lasts for an
hour. [, iea s.-lt 70 see tie stamners
at work. TIE staupcr counts the letters
and when h. has stamped fifty he hits
his stamp oa a lous sheet Of paper at his
right hand, and thus lhe number Of let

I don office can stamp abon5 5000 letters
an hour. Tie telegraph building is
smaller and higher than the government

Had I a heart more like thine own,

Had | a heart more like thine own,
AS warm, and kind. and free,
As firm and fond, thou shouldst hav
known
That heart but beat for thee.
But since so pure and fair thou are,
Thou never canst be mine
l would not have thee take heart,
So all unlike from thine,
Thy perfect heart my heart shall teach
To love thee best OF all
Dear, from thy heaven I canrot reach,
1 would not have thee fall!
And what though fate the gift denies
Thy heart would not refuse?
Not his the praise who wins The prize,
But his who dies to lose !

BY J. LIE. Ofall the glad melodies Nature breathes round :, To waken her children she never has found More sweet than that matin song's raptnrous
 sound,
 When the. robin sings in the morning. The first rosy flint in the east fi,ishes high, A To show where the sun will cone up by-and-
 by, And stars pale to silyery pearls in the sky, When the robin sings in the morning. From over the hills comes an early-waked
 breeze, The sleepy young flowers to roguishly tease, And kisses of perfume to thievishly seize, When the robin sings in the morning. The little birds drowsily ruffie their throats - To pipe in strain of the song as it floats. And squirrels, are waking and brushing their
 coats,
 When the robin sings in the morning. The babies grow restless ard uneasy. too, And finish their mapping without more ado, To giggle and gurgle and twitter and coo, When the robin sings in the morning.

MORE THAN MILLION Orleans, La. A reporter of the Times Democrat who re- gently completed tour of this and neighbor- ing states, visiting every city, town and hamlet, states that he interviewed all the wholesale and retail druggists and storekeepers, as well as transportation companies, with view of learning the volume of trade in certain articles. The statistics thus gathered show that during the past two years over one million two hun dred thousand bottles of St. Jacobs Oil were sold in this section alone, and that this quan- tity largely exceeds the total combined sales of all other similar remedies during that peri cd. He adds that dealers, as we'll as the pub lie continue unanimous in their praise of the wonderful pain-curing powers of this unap- proachable remedial agent.

A cow and horse belonging to Samuel Fontz, farmer living near Enon Valley, Penn, have been kept in adjoining stalls for some time past during the night. The partition between the stalls is built of boards which are several inches apart. It was discovered one day recently that when- ever the horse got near enough to the boards the COW would thrust her tongue through an opening and touch him with it, evidently much to his annoyance, as he would lay back his ears and kick and throw his head viciously about. One morning, when MT. Fontz went into the barn to feed his stock he was amazed to find nearly six inches of cows tongue Til the horse's manager Frontz entered the cows stall and found the COW lying on the floor ap- parently in great agony. The floor was covered with blood. Half of the cows tongue was gone, and she had to be killed. It is supposed that some time during the night she had annoyed the horse in the usual way and that he had managed to catch her tongue between his teeth and had bitten it off.

The favorite theory of the Mugwum
papers before election was that the success
OF Hill would be a condemnation of Presj
dent Cleveland's administration. inasmud
as Hill was well known to be hostile to Gill
service reform and a firm believer inghe
spolls system Besides he was nominate on
platform that virtually repudiated the
civil service reform law and his most rdent
supporter in the convention was Tslmany
Hal, the most corrupt political orgaization
IN New York, which had violentl opposed
mr. Cleveland at the Chicago invention
ana subsequently during thu canvass.
lhere was good ground therefor for saying
as tne Mugwump press did tat vote for
hlil would be vote of censut of the Presi-
dent. The Boston Herald jdned in this cry
as loudly as any of the dependent press.
since election however it las discovered that
one OF the causes of His success was the
strong desire among the Independent voters
10 do nothing to discourage the administra-
ton. But if the facts were as the Herald |
and its fellow Mugvumps said before cleo
lion how would the defeat of Hill discourage |
The administration?

THE REsuLTIN NEW YORK.

Inc latest returns indicate that the first
estlmates of Hill's plurality were too high.
ana tnat 1t viii not much, if any, exceed
Io,ooO. Hill gains largely in New York and
Kings counties over the vote for Cleveland.
Notwithstanding the Mugwumps who sup
ported Cleveland last year voted for Dayen-
port. The Mugwump vote in New York has
been offset several times over by the return
10 the Democratic fold of considerable
number of vntors suho >As,as.ll ..nAliotu W ItIl
the Democratic party, but last year voted for
Mr.. Blaine. A good many of these men
were laboring men, and Hills promises made
in response to'questions put to him and Mr..
Davenport by New York trades unions I'M
doubleday had much to do with winning
them back again. In the country Hill has
gained somewhat; OF to speak more correct
ly, the Republican vote has fallen off in
larger proportion than the Democratic. For
some reason the Republican ticket failed to
inspire the enthusiasm which was expected
OF it. Perhaps the zeal the Mugwump press
displayed in its support tended to weaken it
in the estimation of the regular Republicans.
The prohibition ticket drew Is 200 more votes
than it did last year, and the great majority
OF them came from the Republicans.
The retention of the Presidents State by
his own party the first year of his admins
tration by SO slender plurality as 10000,
cannot be regarded as a notable triumph, land
had the two candidates for governor been
evenly matched in character and the ele-
ments that go to make good executive, such
result would have been considered fore |
gone conclusion. But the immense superior |
ity of Mr.. Davenport over Mr.. Hill had in |
spired the hope that he might be elected in |
spite of the fact that the power of national |
and State patronage was against him, and |
that the President had SO far identified him
self and his administration with Hill as to
contribute from his private purse $1,000 to
AID in his election. Though the Republicans
have failed to win the victory they antici-
pated and deserved, they have lost nothing
that they possessed. The present adminis-
tratlon OF New York is Democratic. Tues
Jays election simply continues it in the
same hands.

control of the most valuable office in the
