The plan OF the Postoffice savings banks
of Great Britain was first suggested in
1860 by Mr.. Sykes, Member of Parliament
for Huddersfield, England. The sugges-
ton was cordially adopted by Gladstone,
then Chancellor of the EXehequer. who
brought the matter in the form OF bill
before Parliament and warmly advocated
its passage. II was passed early in the
following year and received the royal
assent May IL, 1861, and came into prac-
tical operation in the following Septem-
ber. In 1861 the plan became operative

rnaC one cOuIu pUsSIDIy desire; but
Stretton has a title, and that always
counts. As that dear man in Punch
said some time ago, Beauty and good
ness may fade and pail, but title lasts
There is certainly very great deal of
sense in that remark, and it is nice to
have a duke for a brother-in-law."
Il don't think Northampton would
be nice as a brother-in-law were he fifty
times duke" says Maud, with curl
of her short upper lip
He might be improved on. certainly;
i don't dispute that" Mrs. Neville ad-
mits, sadly. His manners are positive
ly distressing, SO redolent OF the stable;
and his nose is out of all proportion"
at is so like Lord Stretton's that no
one could possibly know one from the
other" SAYS Maud, wilifully.
Mrs. Neville sighs. The case is be-
yond argument. IL is indeed only too
true that Lord StrettOn'S probOscis
bears a painful resemblance to his
brothers.
Dick Penruddock is, of course, in
many ways far preferable" she says,
presently shifting ground. "He is quite
as rich, and is younger, and has prettler
manners. But, then, you say you OBJ
ject to Dick also"
No. L don't object to Mr.. Penrud-
dock" says the girl, with a soft, slow
blush; that is not it. You mistake me,

to Mrs. Neville when a child.l Il only
mean that shall never marry"
But why-,chgf" impatiently.
Can uou ask me thatr" returns she,
with glance full of the liveliest re-
proach.
But the thing is not a Secret-all the

that you are the daughter of some poor
mechanic. dead before [ ever saw you.
But they know, too, that you are the
most beautiful and the most charming
girl in the tOwnl Yes, you Gre!" in an
swer to a deprecating shake of Miss
Neville's head; "and if these men love
you. and choose to overlook such a lit
tie fault. why, then, l can not see"
"A little fault" repeats she sadly.
Then, with touch of pride, Nay. it is
no fault at all, but it is a great misfor-
tune; and though Stretton-or-or Mr..
PenTuddOck may, perhaps, fooliShly
wish to marry me, do you honestly be-
lieve their families would receive me
with open arms? Do you think it at
all likely that Dicks father would be
glad to see him married to girl with
out a name? 1t is impossible, Mimi"
Il know not what they might think
or say but L know that If he we're my
son l would gladly see him married to
yOu," says Mimi, maintaining her cause
stoutly.
That is because You love me, and be-
cause You are different from all the rest
of the world" says the girl gently, look
ing at her through a soft mist, that
dims the beauty of her eyes, and is born
of tenderness, and gratitude, and deep
affection.
At this moment the carriage draws
up at their halldOor, and, alighting,
they pass into the house.

There is but comparatively small mileage Of
track to be built to complete the through line
via Albuquerque to the Gulf of Mexico. and
when this Is done the Atchison will have an in
dependent route from the Pacific coast to the
Atlantic seaboard. This will be an advantage,
the need of which is now sorely felt by the Atchi-
son. The expansion of the Atchison's lines is
one of the most remarkable instances of the kind
in railroad history. In 1870 the company had
only about thirty miles Of completed road but
in 1874 the mileage had risen TO 500, and to-day
1t embraces. with the Sonora system, Atlantic &
Pacific, California Southern Gulf. Colorado q
Santa Fe, and other lines. about 1000 miles.
This statement is correct far as the control of
the lines is concerned. Their ownership, as in
the similar case of the Southern Pacific COM
pany, is an entirely different affair."

The Decrease in Freight Movement.

NEW YORK, May 1S.-The Times says: ''Wall
street men are much irritated over the action of
the trunk lines in trying to keep back informa-
ton concerning the amount of east-bound ship
ments. The official report hitherto made public
on Saturday of each week was suddenly sup
pressed last week, the newspapers being served
with notice that it had been decided that the puD
Ii cation was unwise. The motive for suppress
ing the facts is so palpable as to be misunder-
stood by nobody. At this time last year the
railroads were bringing from 10000 to $4,000
tons of freight week east from Chicago. while
this year the shipments have dwindled down to
less than an insignificant quarter of last years
tire amounted to only 10 290 TONS about 400 tons
less than during the week when Chicago riots
were at their height, while for the correspond
ing week of 1885 the amount was Ga, $50 tons

Complimentary to the Locomotive Engineers.
The knights of Labor propose, at their con-
vention in Cleveland, on May 25, to accomplish
some reform work in their own order It is
said that they have seen the folly of the particu
laristic freedom under the present constitution,
and they will inject enough of the centralizing
principal into their organic laws to make sporad-
ic strikes impossible. Mr.. Powderly is, gener-
ally speaking, inclined to conservatism. He
lost his command over himself for a time during
the Missouri Pacific strike. but he has fully re-
covered, and is now determined to initiate the
worthy example of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers whichis great success because
strikes and boycotting are avoided, and arbitra-
ton is made the solvent of differences.
