POSTAL LAWS.
A Suit to Test the Validity Of the
law.

Law.
ROCHESTER, N. Y, March 20.-A suit
was brought in the United States court
to-day by James Wick, the well-known
scotsman of this city, against Post
master Fleckenstein, to test the validity
of the recent order issued by the post
master general relative to mailing pack
ages of seeds in Canada to persons
in this country when they are
sent there for the purpose
postage on seeds, etc, is cents per
pound, while the United States rate is
is cents per pound. Seedsmen in this
section of the state have been saving
large amounts yearly by expressing
their seeds to Canada and then having
them mailed to their customers in this
country, under the treaty between the
United States and Canada. which stipu-
lates that the mail matter of both
countries shall be delivered at the rate
of postage where mailed. This brought
out the postmaster generals order
lnstructing postmaSterS to collect full
postage when it was obvious that mat
ter was sent to Canada to be mailed for
delivery in this country to avoid paying
the United States postage. BY Mr..
VickS' direction two packages of seeds
were sent from this city to Canada and
from there mailed to him here, the post
age being prepaid. This morning he
received a notice that two packages
were at the postof1ice held for postage
due. This he declined to pay, and upon
the postoffice officials refusing to give
him the packages until it was, he COM
menced the suit referred to to gain pos
session of them.

GROVER WAS NO DUDE.
Young Cleveland Had No Time for
High Toned Receptions.
HE WAS A PLUCKY FELLOW.
An Old Playmate of the President
Tells Stories Of His
Youth.

Is Aaron Kellogg, who is now assistant
postmaster of the senate at Washington,
was Clinton boy and playmate of
Grover Cleveland. When he gets back
to Clinton he likes to tell people how he
made Grover skinny on his own side"
In those days. He tells, too, how he be-
guiled Grover to his first presidents

college people used to call them.
"You see," said Mr.. Kellogg, tive
were neither of us dudes then. We
combed our hair in the morning and
BACKED our boots on Saturday nights,
but when old Prexie North was going
to hold his usual commencement levee
that year we kinder thought we'd take
it in and do the elegant | was sixteen
years old then and Grover was fifteen.
We knew what a church social was
like, and could get right down solid en-
joyment out of a lively game of Copen-
hagen-Grover was great at those games
but we weren't very well up on a
commencement reception, which was
the great event of the college year.
eve put on our best 'bibS and tuck
erS' and started across the flats and up
that long hill-y0u know it, don't you
to the campus. Prexie North'S house
this side of old Prof. Roots. Of course
we walked. That July night was hot
one-not breath of air Stirring-and |
never knew that hill to be so long be-
fore or since.
1--WE were wilted before we struck
the top of the hill. Our standing collars
had melted into state of 'innOcuOuS
deSuetude.' Our courage was as limp as
our collars when we went into the front
door and lodged into the room where
we were to leave our hats. We tried to
brace each other up, and finally made
the plunge across tie wide hall into the
reception room.
HE BOLTED THE RECEPTION.
II had just turned to talk with Anna
Cleveland and the Rev. Mr.. Hastings,
whom she afterwards married. when L
looked through the door, and there was
Grover, hat in hand, skipping out of the
front door and making break through
the darkness toward the village. He
couldn't stand the nonsense.
when l saw him go lost my last bit
of pluck, and l wasn't long in getting
my hat and following him, but l never
caught up with him. Grover has hated
receptions ever since.
"We used to live on Mulberry street
in those days." continued Mr.. Kellogg.
my father was a Presbyterian minister
as well as his, SO our families were very
intimate. Then, as l told you, Grover
was only year younger than l, so we
became close companions. We went to
Sunday school together and behaved
ourselves there and prompted each other
in catechism.
'Grover was large, broad-shouldered
boy at fifteen. He was reserved and
had few if any intimate friends. He
had no enemies, either, for he was a
steady-going, plueky sort of a fellow.
He was rather stubborn in his views,
but he wasn't contentious, and had good
control over his temper. He stood UP
for the little fellows, too, and was full
of rough schoolboy Justice"

BOOMING DEPEW.

The Mail and Express Has
Changed Hands and Is for De-
pew for President.
New YORK. March 20.-The Mail and
Express this afternoon announces that
Col. Elliott F. Sheppard, formerly pres
ident of the New York State Bar asso-
citation, has this day purchased from
Cyrus W. Field the Mail and Express.
''The Mail and Express will continue
Republican, and favor protection to
American industries" Col. Sheppard
married a daughter of the late Hon.
William Fl. Vanderbilt. f. B. Mitchell,
business manager of the Mail and EX-
press, says Elliott f. Sheppard bought
the paper for himself. and not on behalf
of any syndicate OF other persons. The
general impression, however, is that the
purchase is in the interest OF G. NJ. De-
pew. An article appeared in the paper
this afternoon declaring that Mr. Depew
is the first choice for president among
many leading Republicans of Brooklyn.
A son of Cyrus w. Field says the price
paid for the paper was about 100000.

DULUTH, March 2O.-The finish fight,
between CurtisS and Black Frank will
not occur. Chief Doran objected, and it
began to look as though the objection
would prevent the fight occurring any
where in this vicinity; so fifteen-round
contest will occur Friday night at the
Duluth theater. o. S. Grethen, of Min
neapolis, will back Frank to any reason
able amount, and J. C. Murnane, of Du-
luth, will do the same favor for Curtiss.
Numerous friends of the cOlored sparrer
will be here from Minneapolis, and as
Black Frank himself expresses it, he
thinks he will get flair play this time"
The fight will be under the Marquis of
Queensberry rules, and the articles of
agreement expressly state that the man
who wrestles or throws his adversary
will lose the fight.
