SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.

THE INVENTOR OF THE OCEAN MAIL SERVICE.
TO the Editor Of The TIL bune.
sir: In your Issue of May 81 there appeared an
interesting editorial, entitled "Assortng Mails at
Sea- in which You state: 1--WE DO not KNOW 10
whom the credit Of originating the idea belongs or
how long II was under consideration before being put
into practice; but 1t Is undenably good idea and
one that Is thoroughly practicable" sincerely trust
that youArtice will be the means Of discovering the
PROPER person to whom the honor Of first suggesting
the ocean Mail Service is due. l hope that l may
be paroned for asserting that about the year 1868,
while an employe in the Government Railway Postal
Service between NewYOrk and Washington person
ally brought the subject to the attention OF the Hon.
A. ~ Zerely, then Third Assistant Postmaster GEN
era to his chief clerk William Ireland, and TO the
Hon. stephenson Archer Maryland Congressman,
who was at that time / think, member of the House
Committee on PostOfces and Postroads. As the
matter appeared TO have been lost sight OF, did
not urge 1t the postal officials again. until short
time after Mr.. Wanamaker became POstmaster-Gea.
eraL Knowing his determination 10 give us the most
efficient and best possible postal service, eommunl
Gated my views by letter to him, and was gratited to
sec the ocean Mail Service advocated in subsequent
any degree whatever prompt the consideration
of the ocean Mall service idea, successfully in
troduced by energetic Postmaster General, shall
have every reason to feel proud . $4,000

THE PRESIDENT ASKED TO RALEIGH.
A CORDIAL INVITATION TO ATTEND THE EX-
POSITION THERE IN THE FALL.

fOsl1lON THERE IN TIE FALL
Washington, June 10.-A delegation of about sew
enty persons, representing all the southern States,
waited President Harrison this morning and in
vited him 10 attend the Exposition to be held at
Raleigh, y. G., In october and November next. The
party headed by Senator Ransom, Of North Caro-
lima. and Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, Ga. and included
Major Badger of Raleigh Colonel a. b. Andrews, OF
Richmond: Major s. Tucker, Colonel Burgoyne, and
representatives Of nearly all the leading Southern
cities. The President received them in the Cabinet
ROOM Senator Ransom made an eloquent address
inviting the President to Raleigh and assuring him
of o and hospitable welcome.
The President in reply thanked them for the cor
daty and impessveness of their invitation, and said
it was gratifying to him to feel that they had come
so far for such purpose. Their Invitation called for
serious consideration on his part but he could not now
tell what he would be able to do at the time Of the
Exposition lie said he knew he would be received
with Kindness as he had recently had conclusive evil
dence that point He regretted that 1t was not his
privilege to pass through North Carolina on his re-
cent trip. He continued:
No, 1 cannot promise at this time. Indeed. am
very chary about promises. Public men have been
severely criticised for making promises they could not
perform and have made strict rule not to make
promises There is too much doubt about the fnture
state OF public for to anticipate what may
be able 20 do. You Will bear mind that October and
November apt be very busy times With the Pres
dent with the assembling OF Congress- and In
discharge Of my constitutional duty must uy 10
enlghten Congress the affairs Of the country 30
YOU will IL Will not be easy for me to get away In
the fall. ] am in full sympathy with every movement
for the display Of magnificent development ana ma
teral prosperity the arts and sciences. VIII bear
your invitation mind and VIII try to arrange my affairs
so as to accept t.
The Presidents remarks were loudly applauded'
The presentation volume is a large sver-bOund and
casped book eighteen by twenty three inches, with
covers of native North Carolina pine panelled with
natural curled pne-eght panels Of elegant design on
each cover. within IS framed the invitation, printed
on large tobacco leaf of the North Carolina golden
leaf. ON leaf twelve by twenty four on the left Is
printed
"The citizens of the Southern section of the Union
extend an earnest invitation TO Benjamin Harrison,
President of the United states, and his Cabinet" ON
another tobacco leaf of the size is the following;
ITO visit Them at the capital city OF the old North
State during the southern Exposition, october ana
November, 1891" ,,
Mr. Walsh then addressed the President on behalf
of Augusta Ga. and what the President said In his
response to the other invitation applied equally to ths'

to the dignity tact and sound judgment of the court,
