Of the department. When it Is
borne in mind that the hotch-
potch of parcels has to be
circulated in every direction between
the $4,000 postal circles in the United
Kingdom. with the difference in bulk
and portability between parcels and
letters is considered, and the relative
increase in speed made note OF. it will
scarcely be credited that between lcav-
ing the hands Of the sender, and reach
ing those of the addressee, whether 1t
travels one mile or one hundred, passes
through no fewer than eighty-tive dis
tinct processes. Startling as this may
seem. it is accurate, each operation be-
ing laid down in an official paper.
About fifty per cent. of these are con-
nectcd with the actual tour of the par.
eel, the rest being required for sta
tistical and checking purposes. Every
separate parcel is counted, numbered,
entered and checked. Its existence is
recorded. its peculiarities noted, and,
if registered and numbered, Gas are all
continental parcels) its transmission
checked by receipts given from hand
to hand.
The establishment of the parcels post
has more than kept pace with its in
crease in business. In London alone
e seven hundred men are employed
in this department. while the number
of horses, vans and tricyclcs is enor.
nous A material change has recently
been made in favor Of these latter.
The heavy sorting vans which were at
first employed in the suburban service
have in many cases been taken off and
their places supplied by tricycles,
which are cheaper as well as more sat
isfactory, inasmuch as they allow one
extra delivery during the day. The
establishment at the various district
offices, and especially the termini
offices, are proportionally great. There
is now Il parcels post depot at each of
the great London termini. At Kings
cross a staff of fifty men is employed,
and this will have to be shortly in
creased. The same is the case at
Euston and Paddington, the latter
probably the largest railway depot. At
Leicester square, the heaviest district
office, taking in the bulk of the West
end and all the best shops, some sixty
men are engaged, while fifteen vans
are daily required to deliver the par

HORSES AND DRIVERS.
Kindness to Animals Bringing with 1, q
Material Reward.

Very many years ago ] made up my
mind that when there was a quarrel
between a man and a horse, in nine
eases out of ten the man vas in the
wrong. Continued observation has
only served to confirm this belief.
The radical error into which drivers
fall is the belief that the horse knows
perfectly what is wanted of him. aud
will not do it. Then the driver pro-
cee1,s to show that he is the master,
and in the vast majority Of eases the
horse is punished without the slightest
idea why he is so treated.
For a horse to understand instantly
what his driver desires, there mus. cx-
list a pleasant feeling between them.
The horse must feel a confidence in
his driver. With one driver a horse
will show himself fearless OF locomo-
tivcs, and with another he will dread
them. One man will drive n horse ff-
teen miles with no more fatigue to the
animal than another will prodrce in
driving him ten.
Nothing tends more to cruelty 70
animals. than cowardice. The mar
who has a lurking fear OF his beast, is
the man who treats him the most
harshly. The man who is afraid of no
horse. is just the man who treats all
kindly. He is perfectly aware that
there is always danger with horses;
but he also knows that this does not
depend upon the horse, hut mostly
comes from some %cNtraneous source;
the bad driving of others whom he
meets on the road, or accident OF some
sort. He has a friendly feeling towards
his beast, as being Il willing and useful
servant and companion, ready to do
his whole duty. and more than his
duty. So there springs up 4 pleasant
feeling on both sides, the horse is en-
couraged and cheerful. and gets
through his work easily and well.
Such q driver gets vastly more from
his horses than does the cruel one.
They come in fresh, they feed and
sleep well, and begin the next days
work under favorable conditions. Age
tells but slowly on them; at fifteen and
sixteen years such horses still show
speed and endurance, and are still
gay and freegoers, with years of use.
fulness before them, whereas the cruel
mans horse is used up long before
this.
There should be kindness simply
from kind feeling, but it does not the
less certainly bring its materia! re-

THE STATE WAR CLAIMS.
Discovery of Mistake by Third Auditor
Williams in His Charges of Fraud.

From discovery that was made at the State
Auditors Office yesterday, it appears that some
Of Third Auditor Williams's charges of fraud in
the collection of Indiana war claims were made
without thorough investigation, or were based
upon erroneous records on file in his depart
ment In the itemized statement of alleged
fraudulent claims sent to Governor Gray, ap-
pears the following:
Voucher 130-Account of o. Fl. Kendrick, pay
etc. charged on abstract and allowed for 49, $50 3d.
true amounts $2, 93O.39; allowed too much, 81 600
The duplicate of the original voucher of this
claim, on file in the State Auditors Office, shows
that the amount allowed Mr. Kendrick by the
military auditing committee was So, $50. 80, on
account of disbursements to the Steuben Artil-
lery called into government service by the
surveyor of the port of Evansville ''said sum
being for their entire services and subsistence
from May 16 to July &C. 1861" The records all
verify the correctness of the claim and So 800 80
was the amount paid by the State, SO that the
statement by Third Auditor Williams that it
was raised 81 600 is entirely incorrect.
Another item in his statement to which he
makes special reference is the following:
Voucher 4611-Account of A. Bookwalter, print
ing amounting to So so; is charged abstract and
allowed for $3.50, is duplicate of voucher 1885, first
irstallInent too much $3.50.
It is apparent that Mr.. Williams has at least
made some mistake in stating this transaction
The overdraft could not, according to his state
ment be $3.50. Just what is meant is not clear
There Is no means of ascertaining from such
records as can be found at the State offices
whether or not other Irregularities charged by
the Third Auditor were really perpetrated with
fraudulently intention, and it is believed to be i'm
possible for any one to accurately determine
whether or not there have been any such frauds
as are charged without careful investigation
and comparison of the government records
with those of tho State The records at Wash
ington as shown by the discovery of the Third
Auditors mistake, cannot be relied upon abso-
lutely any more than those of the State.

Baltimore Sun

Baltimore Sun. O
A new departure in the matter of counterfeit
ing money was brought TO light at the United
states sub-treasury in Baltimore q few days ago.
a somewhat worn ten dollar government bill
was presented at the cashiers window with re-
quest for change, which was given. The note
was sent to Washington as mutilated currency,
and was returned with the information that one
SIDE OF the note was good but the other
side was well-executed counterfeit of the
original 1t was found that genuine ten
dollar bill had been split. the face being
separated from the back, seemingly i'm
possible undertaking. The original face with
counterfeit back had been used and it is quite
likely that the genuine back with a we'll exc
cuted counterfeit face has been passed in some
other quarter. More recently another ten-dol-
lar front was presented at the cashiers win
dow with similarrequest for change. The clerk at
the window, suspecting the bill. told the man
who handed it in to wait a moment until he
could consult DIR. Bishop, the sub-treasurer
DR.. Bishop recognized in the note the familiar
game, and said it was worth just S.. When the
clerk returned to the window the man had left
without waiting for bis change. The subtreas-
ury, which was out So on the first transaction,
was evened up by the second.

RUsHvILLE, Oct 22.-Col. Alexander Jones.
the colored orator from Virginia, has been in
our county two days. Hes spoke in the town hall
at Carthage last night and came to Rushville to
speak tonight. The courthouse was crowded
to OVERLOOKING and it was the best night meet
ing of the campaign Mr.. Jones spoke very
earnestly for over an hour and told of the wrongs
and outrages which his race undergoes at the
hands of the Democratic party in the South. He
explained the methods Of voting in several of the
Southern States and declared most emphatically
that the colored men of the South all vote the
Republican ticket, but it is never counted. He
appealed to the colored men not to heap this
torture on them by casting their ballots against
their benefactor. the Republican party.
Hon. W. A. Cullen was called out. and spoke
in very enthusiastic manner for short time.
He reviewed the history of the two parties on
the slavery question, and showed plainly that
the negroes of the South are robbed of their
representation in the national Congress.
