the report that he had made an order re-

from one cent to one mill per word, the
postmaster general says he had suggested
this rate and that some of the companies
objected to them. He had written a let
ter which stated among other things: L
desire to say the rate proposed was fixed
upon information furnished to this dc.
partment that your company had been
making rates to various large corporations
that are in some instances as low as the
figure now proposed for government ser
vice. With the notice of this fact |
would not be justified making for the gov
eminent a new contract at higher rates

Rev. H. NJ. Eaton, writing to The
Machias Republican, relates an Incl
dent that occurred in the early days
of Maine Methodism, which illustrates
how easy it is for n man to imagine
that his own inclination is a mani
festation of the divine will. In the
days OF which Mr.. Eaton writes, 1t
was the custom for young ministers
to consult their presiding elders before
taking a wife. Once during a camp
meeting in eastern Maine, a young
minister approached the presiding ell
der and said he wished to be married.
Whom do you propose to marry2''
asked the elder. "Well," said the
young man, ''the Lord has made
known to me very clearly that 1
should marry sister Mary Turner" 81
know her WELL" said the elder; ''she
is a fine girl. I will see you again be-
fore the meeting closes" During the
week four other young ministers con-
suited the presiding elder on the sub
ject of marriage. Each of them rave
the name Of the young woman to
whom he proposed TO offer himself.
They had all prayed over the matter a
great deal, and each was certain that
it was Gods desire that he should
marry tho person named. Neither Of
the five young men knew hat any
one else lad consulted the elder on
that subject. On the last day of the
camp meeting, at noon, the elder call
ed the five young ministers to his tent
to receive his opinion. He said:
Now, brethren, it may be the will of
God for you to marry, but it is not his
will that five Methodist ministers
should marry that little sister Mary
Turner. n2LeWiston journal.

Switzerland Sill Defiant.

copyrighted 1883, by the NJ Associated Press
BERLIN, July l3.-The reply Of the
Swiss Bundesrath received at the foreign
office yesterday, though civil in tone, is
none the less defiant. 1t does not recede
a step from the position previously taken
by Switzerland, and is throughout a vim
dication of the rights of refugees and Of
the Swiss toward German police agents.
The tenor OF the Ieply was communicated
TO the German minister at Berne early in
the week. The was the
signal for the adoption of stringent meas.
ures Tor the scrutiny OF travellers crossing
the Swiss frontier, baggage being merci-
lessly overhauled.
To-day's National Zeitunq denies these
regulations are reprisals, and declares that
they are due to the directions of imperial
customs officials, un~influenced by the gov
eminent. The Swiss cautonal authorities,
believing otherwise, direct travellers to
proceed through Austrian territory. The
attitude of the Swiss government is prob
ably strengthened by the knowledge that
Bismarck 3 menaces to Swiss neutrality
occasion general dissatisfaction in Europe
and that the emperor has advised Bis
marck to modify his tone and hui avoid
aggravatinG the difficulty.
Court circles are talking about the con-
version of the Empress Augusta Victoria
to the Catholic church. She made con-
tession OF faith before Able Badiiewski,
who is attached to the household
of Prince Radziwill, Count Radziwlll the
empress grand marshal, himself a Catho-
lie, witnessed the ceremony, in company
with Prince Redziwill. The emperor had
previously been apprized of her intention.
