The party of typographical reform is now hopeful of succeeding in its object.

KISSES BY MAIL

Revival of . Story Which Hath an An
 oient and Fiah-Llks Smeil.
 The young postmaster of an Eastern village was hard at work in his office when a gentle tap was heard upon the door and in stepped blushing maiden of sixteen, with 8 money order which she desired cashed. She handed it with bashful smile, to the official, who, aft CT closely examining it, gave her the money it called for. At the same time he asked her if she had read what was written on the ma1gin of the order.
 "No, have not," she replied, ''for I can not make it out. Will you please read 1t for me?"
 The young postmaster read as follows: II send you three dollars and dozen kisses"
 Glancing at the bashful girl, he said: "Now, have paid you the money and suppose you want the kisses"
 "Yes," she said, 'if he has sent me any kisses I want them, too"
 It is hardly necessary to say that the balance of the order was promptly paid and in a scientific manner.
 On reaching home, the delighted maiden remarked to her mother:
 "Mother, this post-offlce system of our is great thing, developing moro and more every year, and each new feature seems to be the best. Jimmy sent me a dozen kisses along with the money order, and the postmaster gave mo twenty. It beats the special delivery system all hollow."-Detroit Free Press.

 She-You can't explain too quickly, sir.
 He-Well-um-it is easily explained. I am getting out book of forms, and I had the ofice-girl copy one of your old letters to be used as 8 specimen of too gushing a love letter. I'm glad you do not approve of your own style.-The Photo

Not sven the superintendent himself can know less about the accident than the porter, who keeps dark without an ef- fort, as it were. The colored porter does not really own the entire road, but nobody would suppose that to be the case, such an air of importance does he wear on any and all occasions.

sary to elaborate just at this crisis, the colored porter's complexion varies from the somber hue of the inside of box of blacking to the indescribable pallor of the strawberry blonde mulatto. There are light and dark mahogany colored porters, coffee colored, light pine, milk and molasses colored, and some so yellow that they resemble the mellow tint of ripe pumpkin basking in the rays of the setting sun.
 Another mystery is why he is called a porter. A porter is supposed to be an athletic individual who lifts heavy bur dens, such as trunks and boxes. If the colored porter lifts any thing at all, 1t is some uuconsidered trifle that may have been overlooked by some passen-. ger in the waiting-room. Now I come to think of 1t, his color may have some indirect connection with his being called porter, for he is generally dark and stout; although, as have already inti- mated, he is occasionally the color of pale India ale.
 The duties of the porter arc multifari- ous, but he prefers to spend most of his time on the stairs that lead to the sta tion. His object seems to be to check Cho AouoHHAoeo oA PooooA6SAo, "AosAAo the angels Jabob saw in his dream, are continually ascending and descending. The porter detains the passengers long enough to ornament their clothes with the dust which he stirs up with broom.

Frederic's letter WAS written we were in
the midst of the debate at Washington
over the adoption Of the House rules,
and he wrote that the contest

Value OF Beauty In Trsss.

The proposition which will, without
doubt, be brought before the Legisla-
ture OF New Hampshire at its next ses
slon for protection to the forests Of the
northern part OF the State, and which
form the glories Of the great summer
resort regions Of the White Mountain
district, is measure Of the highest pub
lie economy, and its agitation has not
commenced too soon. The scheme Is
sufficiently comprehensive, II 1t shall be
adopted Ia accordance with the sug-
gestions now made, to give the State
such n control OF the mountains and the
forests that the purchase OF the entire
mountain region will fully justify itself
in the yearly returns to the State.
The proposition is that the State
of New Hampshire shall purchase the
mountains and the forests OF this entire
region, and shall hold them under such
regulation that the section shall be pre-
served with the same ends In view that
urge the preservation Of the Y Yosemite
Valley and the Adirondack forests. New
Hampshire Ia, perhaps, quite as much
enriched by its summer visitors as IL Is
by the products OF the manufacturing
interests maintained In part by the
streams that iow out Of the mountains
and forests to the north, and the fact that
petitions have been sent to the State au-
thorities In New Hampshire from all parts
OF the country for the preservation OF
its forests and mountains Ia their pres
ent primitive condition, furnishes pow
erful incentive to the Legislature to act
in large and liberal manner for the
maintenance, In q state Of nature, of this
grand and priceless domain in New Eng
land, II Congress shall save the Yo-
semitic and New York shall secure the
preservation of the Adirondacks. New
Hampshire will have the support Of high
authority for its action, in obtaining con-
troll Of its magnificent White Mountain
forests. This WIN give added force to
the friends Of forestry in Maine who
wish to prevent the terrible in
roads upon our great primitive forests
through careless destruction, as well
As from devastating fires; and who
also hope to maintain them as great
game preserves, and as adding to the
charm Of all our inland lakes, and the
picturesqueness Of our coast and noun
tain resorts now Of 40 great value to our
State as sanitariums for summer resi-
deuts. without their forests and trees
our seaside cliffs. beautiful lakes and
sportsmen's retreats would be Of no
value, and the State would lose one great
source OF cash revenue.
