POSTAL PARCEL SERVICE.


 The new postmaster general is 8 good busi- | ness man, and he is expected to do much for the improvement and extension of the postal service. It is thought probable that, for one | thing, next December he will apply to Con gress to permit the sending of moderate ! sized parcels and packages by mail at rea- sonable rate. This change has been made in the English postal system, and has also been ineorated into the postal systems of num- Der of the governments on the continent of Europe, and has been found to be of decided service, bringing in to the government good returns for the duty performed, while at the same time accommodating the people. Of course if any such change as this is proposed it will meet the hearty opposition of the express companies, which now do this business. But they would have to endure @ decrease in their profits for the good of the people. As the Boston Herald points out, years ago the carriage and delivery of letters on the west side of the Rocky mountains was very largely under the control of the Wells & Fargo Express company, but the governs ment showed not the least hesitation in en- tering that field and taking to itself the busi- ness which had previously been performed by private corporation. The postal money order system is an addition to the mail ser vice, which has necessarily interfered with the business of private individuals and cor porations, as these could not afford to com- pete with the government on the basis of the prices with which it was prepared to carry on this work
 There is no doubt that such an extension of postal service would be popular. Perhaps large packages would not thus be carried to any great extent, but millions of small ones would be. It would be very great con- venience to merchants and their customers. and in other ways it would be blessing The government would, we suppose, carry considerably cheaper than the express com panfes do, but it is believed that at four cents pound, or fraction of 8 pound, parcel postage would pay the government we'll

 The diminutive canton of Basel is setting shining example to ell the great European powers in the matter of popular education, says the Paris American Register. Through out the territory not only are the schools of every description free, but the cantonal gov- ernment also furnishes all school-books and utensils gratis. Public instruction up to the point of entering university, therefore, does not cost the pupil or his parents a cent. In addition to this universal liberality the cantonal government also defrays the ex- pense of burials. In commemoration of the great earthquake in 1856 an institution was founded which annually distributes gratis a large quantity of cloth to needy boys and girls, amounting last year to 1000 meters of cloth given to 1875 boys and 1,2S7 girls. If to the foregoing are added the gratuitous distribution of clothes, shoes and food, and the contemplated cantonal relief society for the sick, the hnmane measures instituted by the ancient town of Basel are certainly won. derfu1

married a young ladv a few miles

said his only objection to goin back
was the dread Of the whipping the
