1t is fact which should never be for
gotten that the revival of prosperity be-
gan in the South with the return Of the
democracy to power in all the southern
States. That change restored order and
confidence and invited investment and
immigration. We suppose there are very
few intelligent capitalists who would not
prefer to enter into southern enterprises

Ben Butler is reported as congratulate

fool with big, big D. If it is so Ben

why no one did so when he ran for Pres

inadequacy of the term.

A Queer Postomce.

Several thousand mics away from
England, down at the lower end OF
South America, in the Magellan
Straits, is the most simple postoficc in
the world. II is nothing but Il small
cask, strongly made, with u lid and
each passing ship sends n boats crew
off to the rock 10 receive or to dclive
letters. One man climbs..up and takes
ont all the letters or packets address
ed TO places where the ship is going
20, and pnts in others, which in turn
will be taken and carried away by
ships going in the other direction.
How the sea, birds on that lonely
shore must wonder at the many visits
paid to the wcathcr-bcatcn old cask
and puzzle their heads as to what is
inside of il.
