Anxiety to Receive Letters.


"I wonder more and more, all the time"
said an old letter carrier to me to-day,
"what makes people SO anxious to get let
ter. If person is expecting to receive
challenge to fight duel, or the reply of his
lady love to a proposition of marriage, or
even a check for twenty-five dollars, I can
understand how he can be eager and expect
ant about 1t. But the stuff that is written
in ninety-nine out of every one hundred Of
the letters deliver must be simply little
platitudes between friends, such as pass be-
tween them when they meet on the street,
except shorter and less satisfactory. But
how anxious the people are to receive these
letters You don't know anything about it.
You ought to be letter carrier for about q
week. Why, there are some people on my
route who, really believe, don't do any
thing else but sit down and wait for me to
come, or else stand at the gate or window to
wait for me. They don't get letter more
than once month, but they watch for it ev-
cry day. If say Nothing to-day they
groan and stink away. If I hand them a
letter they fly away with it into the house as
if they had found pocket book, and even
go off to a secret place to examine its con-
tents. All this makes me a very popular
man, tell you. You see these people asso.
ciate me with the keenest enjoyments and
dearest hopes of their lives. am a sort of

had no little trouble in apprizing her of the
amazing truth of the situation. She could
not realize that she was to be put in possess

Nashville from her northern trip, he secured
friend, whose expenses he paid, and went
to Nashville, where the two were married on
Friday. They took passage on the steamer
Fowler the same day Tor their up-country
home. The young man is about twenty-five
years old, very much behind the world in
manners and dress, but honest and clever.
The girl is of the same type, was modestly
clad in simple calico dress and seemed to
wear her new fortunes easily.

MORE REFORM.
The affair in the New Haven posto flee
has revived interest in similar performance
in Bridgeport. As related in the Standard,
one of the Bridgeport letter carriers went into
Main street store one day and, in the pres
ence of two or more entirely reliable and dis
interested gentlemen, affirmed that assess-
ments for political purposes had been made
in the postofice among the clerks and car
riers that these assessments were regular
per cent. of salaries and that all had been as
sessed alike. He complained bitterly of this,
denounced the doing of it, stated that 1t was
contrary to law and that meeting Of carriers
had been held at which the sum demanded
had been refused, but a smaller sum offered !;
that this was not satisfactory to the postofice
officials who were making the assessment and
that, therefore, there was hitch in the pro-
ceeding. He, moreover, said that he did not
| care who knew what he had stated and that
he was willing to give up his route, if it was
| necessary in consequence of these disclosures.
The publication of this story called out fiat
denial from the postofice, and this was soon
followed by an affidavit, signed by every car
l rier, that no such assessment had taken place.
Such is Democratic civil service reform.

into the rail of the ship, and, when 1t is re-

PETROLEUM.

1t Is the general impression that petroleum
is becoming scarce In this country, and that
before long there will be very little. But the
facts are rather against this impression. The
daily average production of oil in the Penn
sylvania and New York fields during the past
twelve years has varied greatly, ranging from
24,502 barrels in 1876 to s2,303 barrels in
1882. In 1888 the daily average yield was
46, ,708 In 1886 1t reached 70, 1923. If the
ratio of production maintained thus far this
year is continued until January l, 1890, the
average daily yield will border close on so,
600 barrels, an increase of 1000 barrels PEI
day over the previous year. And it is no
tioeable in this connection that the number
of new oil wells completed during the pas
four years has not been nearly so large a
during the years from 1877 to 1882. Their
were ], ,515 new wells completed during 1885,
and l 1,644 in 1887, and yet the oil production
in these years was 150 per cent. greater thar
in 1877, when 8, ,939 new wells were complet
ed, or in 1878, when 1904 new wells wer
finished. Shipments of oil from the Penn
sylvania field alone have ranged from %,
| 657, 500 barrels in 1884 to $4,000, 900 thi
year, estimated.
These figures show that although there

Over a Washtub.
From the Kansas City Journal
On board the Fowler, which left Nashville
yesterday, were young bride and groom on
their way to their home in Jackson county,
Tennessee, a couple to whom much interest
is attracted in that section. They were mar
ried in Nashville Friday, and their union is
one of the occasional turns in the wheel of
fortune which shows on Its shining rim un-
looked-for blessings.
Several years ago the BRIDES father and
mother, who had been living in jackson
county, left there and moved to Illinois,
where they lived for few years. Their
married life not being very happy one,
they separated, the mother going back to her
old home In jackson county, where after a
time she procured a divorce and married
again. The father left Illinois and settled in
Massachusetts,, where he engaged in business,
cumulated considerable amount of proper

named Cleveland, to whom he told the stor,
| of his past life. He related to him his un
happy marriage, the separation between hin
and his wife, and of his having an onl,

ltrOm the San FRANCISCO Cnronlcle.l
Some of the New York dealers in Califor-
mia wines assert that the reason why the
price of our wines in the east is 80 low Is
that growers dump quantities of sick wine
on the market and spoil the tone of the CALI
fornia product. They say that the grower
sends on several hundred barrels of wine,
which arrives in New York sick with the
voyage, if not altogether sour, necessitating
rest and new barrels before 1t Is salesble at
all. These dealers go on to cay: "Perhaps
the grower had no warehouse, no time to
wait, no change of cooperage, no other wine
to mix with. therefore he puts his wine on
the market at ridiculous price below what
makes no money, and the buyer Is disguised
with California wine.n
There is doubtless much truth in this, but
| the dealer is wrong in charging the low price
| entirely to the grower. The fact Is that
dealers in this city have very commonly
| combined to keep the price down, and that
many growers have been compelled to take
| just what the dealers have been willing to
| give; and SO 1t is pretty scant justice for q
| dealer to force the price down and then
| charge the low rate to the grower.
That the interview in question Is from the
dealers standpoint Is further apparent from
| the remark that ttIt is hard work to make q
market for goods; it takes years, and then 1t
makes the dealer mad to have the grower
come in with poor wine and spoil his name
and the price. If the California grower is
wise he will make good wine and attend only
to making, not to dealing" 1t is evident
that the growers have interfered with the
profits of the dealers, and so the latter, very
disinterestedly, of course, advise them to
stick to wine making, and not to try to sell
their products, except through the dealers.
The remedy for this state of things can
be nothing but systematization and co-ope-
ration on the part Of the wine makers. So
long as they are forced to put green wine on
the market they will have to take for 1t just
, what the dealers offer, and, then, If it does
, not mature properly, be charged with load
| ing up the market with ''sick" wine. II
there be anything or anybody that is "sick'
| it is the wine maker who puts in great deal
of hard work for very little pay. If there
can be schemes for storage and cellarage de

done unless the wine makers will cooperate

lars for them; and 1t is unnecessary to say
that If the wine makers wait for the latter to
happen they will go without cellarage for 6
