Cr.um Of ,hc Postal service,

 It IS estimated at the Post Office Department that the deficiency in the revenues Of the postal service of the fiscal year just clesed will be about S4.000,000. Last year the deficiency was something over 5,0O0,00 Owing tc the cheap rates of postage, especial y for newspapers, tho bulk of mail matter has increased at such rate that the cost of the service has grown immensely. The force of employees, especially in the large offices, is taxed te handle the quantity of matter that daily comes pouring in. In some in- stances the newspapers are not sent to tho Post Office at all, but are weighed and stamped at the office of publica- ton by some enc authorized to de the work, and the bags are sent directly to the railroad depots If this were not done, it is stated that some of the large post offices would be ovsrwhelm- ed, and that it would be impossible 10 handle all the matter with any dis patch CT accuracy It is thought by the Post Office officials that the statis- ties fer the year just ended will show a larBofncrease in the number of let ters mailed At present England is the greatest letter writing nation in the world. The annual ratio of ln- crease in thls class of mail matter is much greater in tbls country than in England, and, if the present rate con tinues, Tn few years the United States will stand at the head as writ sng more letters per capita than any other nation The bulk oi mail mat ter, or the number of pieces handled by the United States Postal Service, is now greater than any ether country, but this is mainly due to the exten- siye circulation of the newspapers.

French Military Notes.
Scientific American.

1 The French squadron, now gather
 ing at Toulen for the regular summer
 evolutions, has with 1t an mrostatit
 corps charged with work of wholly
 bovel kind. Captive balloons are tC
 be sent up from ships to height of BOG
 meters-about 1000 feet-and, ths
 weather permitting, still greater alt;, tudes will be attalned. As is custo. mary when such ascensions are made from the land, a topOgrapher will go up with the balloon to make sketch of the underlying country; with spec lal reference to roads and woods or the position of a supposti;ious enemy if the country is hostile ona, or if friendly, then to mark off on regu- ular field map his position with ref. erenee to the general topography of the country, giving careful estimate Of his strength as to numbers and sit nation.
 The scheme suggested by the French Society Co.onbophile is a novel, in- deed, an important one, and it seems rather strange, now We are told how much advantage Is likely 10 result, that # was not thought of before. It consists in sending pigeon messengers from ship to ship, the same being on the brood seas and far apart, or near an enemys country, and needing re- endorsements. A cote has been estab- lished aboard the dispatch boat St. Louis, the censort and constant atten- dant upon the Couronne, line-of- battle ship and scheel of gUnnery at Salius- d'Hyeres. At its recent departure from Toulen, whlther it comes every three weeks to reyictual the St. Louis brought young pigeons, which quick ly got accustomed 10 their floating cote, and to the noise of artillery fire. the St. Louis firing at least 600 shots a week from her great guns. At dis tances small at first. but finally reach ing 200 Dliles at sea, the pigeons were released with messages, those of the St. Louis going to their heme cote on the Courcnne, and those in the latter flying to tho St. Louis. There have been few mishaps, and, strangest of all, the pigeons do not fear, so far as can be seen, the fire of the great guns, at times arriving when they are in full play, and in tue midst of heavy clouds of smeke coming from the burning powder. The idea is 10 keep up constant intercourse between dis tant fleets which may be operating against an enemy that may appear in force at any moment, and at any point.

 This table is made the subject ef good deal of figuring on Presidential possibilities. It is pointed out that three times therein IS shown the re- incarnation and success of the priuci- pal candidate who was defeated at the election next before. This happened in the instances of Jefferson m 1800, Jackson in 1928, and Harrison in 1940. Once, in the instance of Pinckney, in 1894, tbors was such nomination and T repeated defeat.
 0p the other hand, the fact is equal, ly patent that in seven cases there have been re.oiections to the Presiden- ey for second term in the instances of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln and Grant.

Anna Dickinson has about com pleted arrangements with the Repub- liean National Committee to return to the stump. IL has been many day since Miss Dickinson participated in a political campaign. The Republican managers regard her as one of the most effective campaign speakers in the country. Her hatred for Mir Blaine left her out of the last Presi- dental canvass, and up to the present time she has taken but little interest in politics. Miss Dickinson is a neigh hor of Mat Qaay. and the Penusylya- mia Senator intends 10 make her one of the chief attractions of the cam paign. It IS sad that the gentle Anne will receive as much for her speeches as sbe ever received in the lecture field. Tho arrangement is that most of her work is to be done in New York and New Jersey, although she may deliver two or three speeches in Indiana. Miss Dickinson is looking remarkably well.
