SAYS first assistant postmaster gen.
eral Clarkson: II see that some of
the New York papers state that there
have been 10000 changes made in the
postoffices since the present admins
tration came into power, while Others
say that there have been 14000 such
changes. Neither statement is cor
rect. There have been just about Is,
600 changes made in postoffces. That
is not the exact figure, but so near il
that the difference one way or the
other is not material OF these 15,-
600 changes one-third were brought
about by resignation, and about 300
were made because of changes in the
location of Offices. When postmast-
ers were keeping their offices in grog-
shops or in other questionable places,
We have made new postmasters and
have seen that they established them
selves where ladies may go without
any apprehension. In regard to presi-
Dental Offices our policy has been to
allow the incumbents to serve four
years, unless there was a cause for
their removal. Nearly all the changes
in that class of postoffices were made
after charges against the postmasters
were received and reported upon by
inspectors, who were detailed to look
into them. The same number OF
changes 15,OO0-were made under
the previous administration in a cor
responding length of time"

From Foreign Lands.

The Persian government has issued de-.
crec restricting navigation on the Karun to
below Ahwnx, limiting the stay of foreign
vessels to twenty four hours, prohibiting the
81, g or lease of land TO foreigners, and for.
bidding the construction Of works with for.
eiEn capital. The decree is regarded as spec.
ially aimed at British trade.
The secretary Of the interior has informed
the general land commissioner that the list
in his district Of lands subject to sale at
Linkville, now Lake View, Oregon, iscanceletl.
This list embraced some OO,S37 ncres, which
had been approved in 1882 to the State oi
oregon az swamp and overhowcd lands The
action Of tho secretaryis based upon evidence
that the report OF the ageht recommending
the approval of the list was false and fraudu-
lent, and that mt least onc.third of the land
could not properly be classed as swamp or
overflOwed lands.
The British military officiuls at Suakim

is manifestIy determined to recall the British
troops and leave tho Egyptians to work
out their own salvation. The sudden COL
lnpse of what promised to he Il protractcd
Soudan campaign hos dashed the hopes of
promotion for valorous deeds on the field Of
battic Of q great many army officers, and
there is much growing among them in con-
sequence. 1t is noteworthy that In military
circles the only opponent of q campaign ex-
tending to the recovery OF khartoum have
been officers of SO high rank MS to place
them beyond the possibility of promotion.

A Comedy Of Errors.

The likeness between Chauncey NJ.
Depew and Adam Forepaugh, the
great show man, is daily becoming
more striking, and has now reached
the ludicrous. On q recent occasion
MIR. Forepaugh went to see Mr. Depew
in regard to transportation for his
show over some distant line. Every
door in the Grand Central building
opened before Mr.. Forepaugh, who
was mistaken for President Depew.
Mr.. Forepaugh penetrated the sane.
tum sanctoruln, where O nearsighted
clerk received him with the most
unctuous politeness.
"Can I see Mr.. Depew?" asked the
arch Snowman.
The near sighted clerk thought this
n great joke on the part of the jaunty
Chauncey, and grnned from ear to
ear.
SIS Mr.. Depew here?" queried the
Snowman.
The near sighted clerk grinned
again. Mr.. Forepaugh began to
perceive that there was IL mis-.
take somewhere, and said, II am
Adam Forepaugh." Il
The near sighted clerk waxed d.
dignant, and WITS for farming the
Snowman out. A few minutes after
Mr.. Forepaugh departed the genuine
Simon pure entered the Office.
"Has MIR. Forepaugh been here?''
inquired Chauncey NJ. The near
sighted clerk was now irritated, pnd
stillimagining it was the showma.
cxclaimed:

Fastest Vessel Anoat.

The dynamite cruisers yesuvius left Phia.
dolphin to make Il second test ot her speed.
The following liz the official report M = by
a government expert. and was % ..ed by
the Messrs. Cramp and all of the supervisors
OF { he trip:
The vesuvins returned to Cramps ship
yard ut y. m., Dec. IS. 1888. from her Sec
ond trial trip She made run just before
dark last night under very unfavorable cir
cumstanccs. the wind blowing O gale and an
unusually heavy SEA running. Under these
disadvantages she nude mean speed of
l9.59 knots IN two runs over a two.knot
course The disadvantage OF the heavy sea
was much aggravated by the shallowness of
the water in the measured course. It. was al
so conceded on all hands that the water on
the measured course is much too shallow to
give the vessel n inirclance within Mt least Il
halt to three-qraiters of u knot per hour.
This morning she started to make another
run, and had gone over three fourths of the
course i'll he first run ut the rate of ut least
,wsnty.one knots, when one Of the air pumps
connecting levers broke, which necessiated
the shutting off Of that engine. and the re-
mhinder OF the run was made with the other
engine alone. Under that disadvantage her
speed over the whole course was 18.47 knots
per hour. Thereupon the trial ended, the
contractors declining TO attempt an other
run with only one air pump remaining in
understood that each engine has two uir
pumps. The Messrs. cramp announce that
they feel in duty bound to give another test
ofspeed to he vesuvius, hut they will ask
tllnt the course he chosen further down the
bay. near the brenkwater so that u clear wa v
and an ample depth of water may be had,
with every clinncc for the vessel to show her
very highest speed. They have no doubt,
whatever. that the rcsuvius will in every
way prove superior TO llcr contract sprcifica-
tions. and they are particularly desirous of
showing that she is the fustest vessel afoat.

| by h" death of Il dog ut West
Chester, the st. Peters Protestant
Episcopal Church of Tredyffryn
Township, Chester County. Pa, is
81, 800 RICHER. The animal was
pet of Mrs. Elizabeth Sllcc, an aged
aud somewhat ccentric lady. who
died two wears ago at West Chester
where she had lived. The lady left be
hind her inrstHte of about $4,000,
which by her will WAS disposed of i'm
Il peculiar manner. Tie strongest
clause WAS the one which provided
for the dog Ryno, as lie was called.
\ fund of 800 was set aside for
Investment. the interest to be spent
in the maintenance of the animal
and for his proper burial after his
death. Upon his demise the princi-
pal was to revert TO tilechurch which
the lady had ATTENDED during her
life. Mrs, Shec died early in March,
1856. and Peter Carey OF Pllnnix-
willie. who was named as her cxecu-
tor, provided Il home for the four
footed heir at tho house of Il relative
of the Lady ut West Chester, where
the dog lived IL pampcrcd existence
, until Il short time ago, when he died
ofa complication OF diseases, the
result of age and an ovcrindulgcncc
in the sweets of lie. The exist
cncc of II moncvnd aristocrat is too
| much for the average dog, and Rvno
is said to have been IL cur very much
below the average, and succumbed
to high living.
According to the letter of the will
Ryno was buried not far from the
grave of his dead bencfactor He
was wrapped in IL sheet and placed
in a box according to the last wishes
of Mrs. Slcc.
The canine had barely been placed
under the sod when the church people
wrote to Mr.. Carey, the executor, stat
ing that they were ready to receive the
money. He replied that the princi-
pnl is so invested that it is not likely
that it will be paid over before next
spring.
The secret of Mrs. Slcc's attach
mcnt to the dog is Il mystery, for tho
animal was !, lnon"rcl of the lowest
order. He was surly and snappish,
and devoid Off any beauty or attrac-
tions. He had been brought into
Mrs. Shec's house in an early stage
of puppyhond, and had always been
with her. The dog died in IL spasm,
and is said to have suffered greatly
for hours before death relieved him.
II was whispered among the neigh
bors that lis dogship hung on too
long to suit some people. The par
ties concerned are all satisfied, how.
ever and there will be no investiga.
ton into his death.
