THE third and fourth-class pOstmas
tiers Of the country met in convention a
Chicago Monday last, for the purpose o
deliberating upon numerous prevailing
circumstances detrimental to their bust
ness, hoping to formulate a statement
of facts, with recommendations to be
forwarded to congress, with view o
securing effective legislation in their be
half. One of the grievances they com
plain of is, the practice of mailing let
tiers on trains which deprives these of
ficials of considerable of the Legitimate
revenue of their offices. Thirty-two
states were represented, comprising
about four hundred postmasters.

CURLING.
Editor Free Press.

Editor Free Press
According to promise send you a re-
port of game of curling by the Maple
River curling club, which took place on
Saturday Feb. 18th on Rice Lake. The
ice was i'm no better condition than a
week ago. and of course there is not so
much enthusium in Il game when the
ice is soft Tor as the curriers' express it,
"drug") as when it is keen, for then
they can "guarde inwIck and draw
phrases which all curriers' understand
but the game was played nevertheless,
and what it lacked in fine playing was
made as humorous in their stones roll
ling and tumbling, one curler ALWAYS
making the remark when his turn came
"here goes the wheelbarrows again"
But on keen ice it is far different, | as
sure you.
Two Kinks participated in the enjoy
ment, resulting as follows:

THE action of Mr.. Mccormick, the
Chicago reaper man, in shutting down
his works, 10 relieve his employees of the
trouble of inaugurating a str Ike, is de-
cIdedly business like i'm the light of all
the circumstances, and must eventually
prove beneficial as precedent to other
extensive manufacturers when any &C.
centric demands from the Labor Union
is made upon them. The only point OF
difference between Mccormick and his
employees was, that he refused to bounce
few non-union men whom he had

The Winona Republican, of last Satur-
day contained lengthy and very COM
prehenslve interview with Ex-senator
Window with reference to the proposed
ship railway across the isthmus of Teh-
auntepec in lower Mexico. The pro-
irct was conceived by Captain Eads,
and subsequently, company was form
ed of which Mr.. Window is president,
which company have succeeded in Sc
curing the concession by the Mexican
government To construct such railway
across the isthmus. AS many people
may have neglected to study the entire
plan of Capt. Eads scheme we call at
tention here TO what is proposed and
how it is To be done. He proposes to
build tracks and construct suitable cars,
or cradles, to carry ships from
ocean to ocean across land, and sending
them on again amid their natural ele-
ment. For instance, a ship is sailing for
China from New York, instead of going
south around Cape Horn or the Cape OF
Good Hope, she will sail direct to Te-
hauntepec, he lifted by mechanical appar-
atus onto the cradle-car and transport
ed over land and safely lowered into the
water of the Pacific, therby saving tour
almost completely around the South
American continent. Anyone who will
study the geography of the world a little
and investigate our commercial relations
with the nations east and west of us, can
form correct conclusions as to the ad :
vantages such an enterprise would
furnish the United States in the transit
of all kinds of produce. 1t is estimated
that the building of the line will cost
about $40, OOO,00O.
