a New postal suggestion.

Ii there is any point on which our postal
system does not stand in need of improve
ment. it is the cheapness Of postage Our
newspapers are carried within the county
of their publication for nothing, and every
where else for next to nothing, and letter
of an ounce weight IS transported from any
point to any other Of our enormous area of
5000, 900 square miles, for the smallest unit
of letter postage known in Christendom.
But far more important matter, and ore
wholly neglected. is that of postal delivery
In other civilized countries the postoffice
receiving letter from the writer, under
takes TO deliver it 10 the person addressed.
In our own happy land the pcstoffice re-
ceives the letter, and Except in the case of
privileged twenty per cent. Of the people)
undertakes to carry it to within FIVE or
ten miles Of the person addressed, and keep
it there till called for. This is the mere
barbarism of postal service, worthy of the
dark ages before Rowland Hill. The
enormous cost and loss which it involves
become obvious to anyone on few min
utes' reflection. For example: A man
living three miles from the postoffice is
anxiously expecting letter of great i'm
portance, which may arrive any time
within fortnight He goes daily TO look
for 1t and on the sixth day he gets it.
That letter has cost him twelve hours Of
walking or six hours OF travel for himself
! and horse. In other words, the postage
on that letter has been virtually 81 OF. or
more. The Government does not &c; the
money, but the citizen loses ii.-ForGm

TIE last official act OF SIR Cleveland wa
to vefo the direct tax bill. Il was al error
of judgment that cannot be easily forgiven.
The direct tax WIS levied upon the States
in the hour Of the nations sorest distress.
In the main it was promptly paid. The
nation having recovered from its hour of
trial, it was proposed TO return from an
Overlooking treasury the money thus col
lected. Congress agreed to treat the tax as
g loan, and directed, in the exercise of its
equity powers, that the money be refunded
to the States. That return Mr.. CleveIand's
veto has postponed-not defeated. This
was q case in which the expressed will of
Congress should have commanded the &C.
quiesence Of the Executive. Mr.. Cleve-
land held, however, that the bill was IN
constitutional; but in this he was met by
the judgment of constitutional lawyers to
the contrary. He next contended that to
repay would not restore the money to
those from whom il was collected. This is
very true, but their interests, if they still
live, are inseparable from their State treas
uries if dead their heirs would benefit by
whatever is added to The wealth of the
States and reduced taxation upon them.

Surprise Party.

On Thursday evening, Dec. 4. there
was large gathering at the home Of Mr..
Fred Klair, near Centreville. The young
people of the Lower Brandywine Presby-
terian Church had planned a pleasant
surprise for their pastor, Rev. James I.
Marshall, and were altogether successful
in carrying it out. William Wilson, Jr,
in fitting address presented the pastor
with handsome set of harness as gift
from the young people Of the church.
Mr.. Marshall replied briefly, thanking
them for the gift itself and for the gen.
erous spirit that pompted the surprise.
The occasion was thoroughly enjoyed by
all present, and the young members Of
the Brandywine congregation may con
gratulate themselves, that they have
done an act that will greatly strengthen
.he confidence and affection already ex
isting between their pastor and his
people.
