The Special Delivery System.


The special delivery system that
has been confined to the delivery of
letters exclusively, was, by an act OF
Congress on August 4, extended to
all post offices and to all mailable
matter. This law will 60 into effect
October l. The service contempla-
ted by the law requires that all
special delivery matter shall reach
the address with the greatest possible
expedition after it arrives at the Post
Office. No change will be made IN
the general style of the special de-
livey stamp now in use. These stamps
are to be sold by postmasters in any
required amount, and to any person
who may apply for them; but they
can he used for the purpose OF secur'
ing the immediate delivery of the
matter, and no other stamps can bt
employed to secure special delivery
except the special delivery stamp
This stamp must be in addition tt
the lawful postage. After October
Mexico will be ready to attend to thu
special delivery. A letter with . II
cent delivery stamp on it will be de
livered by a boy on its arrival to an.
point not over q mile from the Pos
Office.

II, Ill. Norton Interviewed.

Hearing that Col. II. II. Norton, of
Lincoln county, candidate for Con-
gress, was in the city, a LEDGER re-
porter called at the Central Ringo
this afternoon for the purpose of an
interview, and found the congress
ional candidate. in company with
Coils. Clay and Hord, in the rotunda
of that hotel.
What is your opinion, Mr.. Nor
ton, as to the result of the first ballot
on the re-assemhling of the conven,
ton on the 21st?"
Il have no opinion whatever in
fact, l have been so busy since the
convention that I have not had the
time to make any canvass"
You are not prepared to say, then.
whether or not you think the con
vention will nominate?'
NO; but l think all the delegates
have made up their minds and that
no amount of ~convassing would effect
a change. /, for one, am not canvass
ing this trip to Mexico, being a strictly
business one
The candidates keep pretty close
watch over each other, do they not?'
We'll, yes. Now, Robinson ha'
been holding court since the conven
ton, and Peers has had visitors a
home. while | have been very busy
so there has been but little canvass
ing?"
Col. Clay came in at this poin
and suggested a visit to Mr.. Cock, o

Brady's Book.
WASHINGTON, Sept. lk-The Cyfhk
publishes an interview with General
Thos. j. Brady, of S~tar-route notoriesy,
and late assistant Postnaster~General 10
which he promises TO make some start.
ling revelations ABOUT S,ar-route matters
and the Florida election returns Of 1874.
General Brady for a year or two has been
living on his five h~undred.acre farm sixts
miles down the Potomac, on the Virginia
shore, and says he has lately been divid.
ing his time between cultivatiug his farm,
harvesting his crop and writing q boob
which viii give the inside history of The
Star-route episode and of the electoral
count In the Florida elections Of 1876.
In answer to questions. about his
forthcoming book the General said to 3
Critic reporter yesterday: 81 propose
to place several alleged statesmen and
others in the public pillory, in order that
their fellow citizens may see them Ia
their true light. Some people posing ba-
fore the public as moral saints with .
ssholier than your cast OF countenance,
/ shall impale upon the .corroded
points of their own COZ.
ruption. l shall embellisn my
book with fac simiie autographs
letters and memoranda which will speak
for themselves; In short, it will give ths
true inside history Of the Florida eles-
ton returns of 1876, and OF the Star.
route Investigations and trials, with all
the collateral incidents, Congressional
and otherwise, connected herewith. I
have shielded a lot Of hypocrites anh
moral towards long enough, and there
Is nothing left for me to do
but to publish the true
inside history Of these events. They
may say Of me, as was said OF Rosseau's
private memoirs, 'lt Is mighty Interest,"
ing reading, but he was a I'D fool %
publish them" can't help what nny
body may say, 1t is my time nov 10 speak
out, and l shall do SO fully and lear
lessly.n
General Brady is now on his way 70
New York to arrange for the publication
OF this special volume.

Bob Burdette is best known as humorist
out he frequently favors his friends with
items which contain mine of good solid
sense: he is an example. James g. Fair is
worth 100000. And the whole S42 ,OOO,-
600 of it, my dear boy, can't make him as
happy as you are with the dew of youth in
your heart, when you hold the hand of the
girl you love, and walk with her in a path
that is only wide enough for one, with the
rustling branches whispering above your
head, so happy you cannot speak with any,
thing but your eyes. If you envy him,
Telemachus, if you, with your brown hands
and bright, young face, with the down Just
shading your lip, with not a gray hair in your
head or gnawing care in your heart, with the
morning sun shining upon your upturned face,
with the velvet turf under your feet and
blue heavens above your head, with the blood
coursing through your young veins like wine,
with 80 or 60 years of life before you, with
mirage after mirage of bright dreams and
beautiful illusions and pleasant vanite. m ak
ing the landscape beautiful around you; if
YOU envy this man his forty-two millions of
dollars, and his spectacles, and his gray hair,
and his wrinkles, and his old heart, You are
fool, my boy; and you are scattering ashes
on the roses that grow in the morning. There
Is lightness in your step, my son. and color
in your blood and dreams in your heart, and
all the love and beauty and freshness of the
sunrise the $40, 100000 cannot buy, and don t
you forget it. You don't want S42 900 900

want couple of millions, go ahead and get
it. ''Seest thou a man diligent in BUSH

A Practical Suggestion.

A Texas judge showed considerable un.
Willingness to grant a man a divorce The
judge said to the applicant:
Reflect for moment that your wife, with
all her faults, has her good qualities, and
that by mutual concession you may be able
to get along very we'll together"
The applicant for divorce seemed to be
very much moved by what the judge said,
and the latter began to flatter himself tina,
he had carried his point At last the man
said:
Your honor is not married, believer"
No, am a widower"
'Well, then, judge, suppose you grant me
divorce from this woman, and then marry
her yourself, and see if you can stand her
devilish temper"
The judge begged leave to be excused.
Yes responded the applicant, scornfully
''you are mighty kind prescribing medicine
for other people, but you don't care to try a
dose of it yourself"
