All Mail Mater Il Counted.

Persons who read the reports OF the
number Of pieces of mail matter handled
at the New York postofhce may have
wondered how the figures were obtained
The explanation is simple: Every piece
was actually counted. Every employer
who stamps mail matter must keep an
accurate account of the number of pieces
he handles and must make daily report
of the amount of work he has done. He
must not only give the grand total, but
tell what part was in each Of the four
classes of mail matter, and also how the
pieces reached the postofhce.
The letters, etc, are mailed at the
postofice, IN which case they are known
as drops" collected by carriers, arrive
by trains, or, in the case of foreign
matter, are brought by steamers. a
report must be made of every piece
that comes in by any one of these ways.
When one considers that an average
of about COG, 900 letters alone reach the
general postoffice hero every day, 1t Will
be seen that the task of counting them
is big one. let @ person count LOCO
and then try TO get some idea of the
labor involved in keeping n record Of
900 times that many. and his head will
swim at the thought. AS the counting
is done by n number of men, and the
letters arc subdivided into patches, the
labor is not so enormous as might AZ
first be supposed--New York Tribune

CORNER BUNS.

There was great CONSERVATION created
among the corner buns yesterday at the
hour of meeting. The reasons for it were
plain TO be seen the moment ones eyes
SURVEYED the crowd The fact that one of
the members had taken wash, one had
cut his hair, one had colered his mus
tache and still another one, who had seem
ingly lost all regard for one OF the funda-
mental principles of the order, had donned
a pair of socks A committee was i'm
mediately appointed 10 take up these
cases, after which they resumed the
regular order Of business, the railroad land
question. Everything went along smooth
" until the question OF who was entitled
to vote was raised. They all agreed except
ing one bum-that any man who paid
taxes or who had ever paid any taxes or
that ever expected TO pay any taxes-was
not entitled to vote. The poor lone fellow
who dissented explained his vote by say
ing:
Il am agin the bonds. OF urse, like
the rest of you, hut my wife who is sup
porting me handsomely by washing, has
accumulated few dollars extra and she
has bought lot in FireOaugh's 10th adj
dition unknown TO me, and she was pay
ing taxes on it and that he wanted TO
know whether the resolution effect him or
not 1t was decided that under the cir
cumstances be would be allowed TO vote.
Just before adjournment resolution was
passed censuring the sheriff and constable
for not impaneling any of their mem
bers on the juries of the courts and that a
committee appointed 10 inquire into the
matter

To the Editor of the Eagle.
This little city is quite lively and nearly
all the people seem to be prosperous-have
plenty to eat and wear. There is in this
vicinity some 100000 bushels of corn IN
crib One man who bought very extensive
" has yet 10000 bushels, and was offered
So cents per bushel delivered on railroad
track, but refused H. Now he is sad, for
corn will not be as high again. There IS
estimated that at least one half of last
years wheat crop is still in granarles
here being held for higher market The
acreage in wheat is very large and looks
fine The promise of big crop is good.
Last year there was shipped from this
station over 100000 worth of cattle and
hogs. This is a fine agricultural section
and there is no evidence of poverty or
blight but thrift, enterprise and good
feeling characterizes the citizens.

ladies were arrayed in orange colored
dresses. with bouquets OF orange MOWERS
and hair dressed in orange wreaths. IN
fact, orange tints prevail ed, and even the
faces of the guests looked orange.
They served most an elaborate supper
the tables were stretched along one side OF
the hall loaded with good things Meats,
chicken, turkey, pi kles, rolls, cakes OF all
kind, sizes aud quality. pies, salads, tea,
coffee, oranges, etc. There was no formal
or restricted manner, but all were there

1.-THE art of putting the right men in
the right places" Talleyrand cnce said,
ais first in the science OF government;
but that of finding places for the discon-
tented is the most di5cult"
1t would seem from this that the dis
tinguished French statesman was as
much prey TO Office seekers as arc the
public men of our own time. His man
ner of disposing Of them Is aInusingiy
illustrated in the following anecdote:
One day ono Of these Troublesome per
sons presented himses- 10 Nj. de Talley-
rand and reminded him that he had been
promised q place.
VERY we'll" said Talleyrand. but
tell something that suits and which can
be given. You don't know of anything
Well, find something. You must admit
that haven't the time to search for you. =
The applicant was thus disposed Of for
the time being, but day or two Later he
again presented himself, his face radiant
with hope, and said:
''Sir, such and such place is vacant. "
Vacant" replied Talleyrand. We'll,
what do you wish me 10 do? You ought
TO know that when place Is vacant 1t
has already been promised. boston
