Tickle Fortune.

1t is a sad commentary on the muta-
tons of time that Cyrus w. Field, the
man whose genius and indomitable per-
severance linked two worlds together
by the submarine cable, justly making
him forever famous, should lie crushed
and almost dying under load of sor-
row, moaning that his name, fortune,
and future are all gone and nothing re-
naming for which he might care to
live.
For a quarter century his pathway
seemed all sunshine, and he was the ia
vored child Of fortune, the much-sought
millionaire. A devoted wife and beau.
tiful children smiled around his fire
side, and even the loss of the bulk of
his great wealth in the whirlpool Of
Wall street failed to cloud his life for
he still possessed comfortable compe-
tence, an untarnished name, loving
family and many friends, and doubtless
was happy in the belief that he should
end his days in the peace and comfort
he so well deserved.
When, in his old age, the th-angel
tore his beloved wife from him, it was
q crushing blow; but when, a few days
later, he found that the ungrateful son
to him he trustfully gave the keys of
his strong box, saying, "My son, take
what you need to save your honor"
had not only left him penniless, but al
so disgraced the name he should have
honored-then it was that the honest old
inventor felt that his burden was great
CT than he could bear.
What lesson of the perishable ma
ture of earthly riches and happiness is
here revealed by Times kaleidoscope!
Of the once happy family, we see the
mother resting in her grave, the bro.
ken-hearted father lying in unutterable
woe in one room of the palatial home
he no longer possesses, a daughter in
another wasting away with a fatal NAL
ady and a second Frustrated with sor-
row and disgrace, while the favorite
son whose excuses are chiefly respon-
sible for all this, is raving in n private
asylum and striving to end his wretch
ed life by his. own hand. Truly, the
way of the transgressor is hard.

ings be devoted to raising their sala-
ries.
He refers to the many valuable
suggestions he has received from vari-
Gus postmasters, and says that they
criticised his last annual report greatly
to his ediication. Indeed, he shows
himself the broad minded, philanthropy
ic gentleman he is, wholly occupied in
promoting the welfare of the many, and
entirely above all narrow, petty jeal-
ousies.
He is progressive, too, and urges
reorganization of the system look
ing toward the application of the
telegraph and telephone as adjuncts of
the service. He calls attention to the
fact that the whole object of the postal
system is to transmit intelligence, and
thinks that collection boxes might be
placed everywhere in cities and in
many country places, so that they
could receive messages written on
stamped cards and, with frequent col
lections, abolish the expensive system
of messenger boys, and make possible
scent telephone and 10-cent telegraph
rate.
He thinks one-cent letter postage
practicable, and believes that pneumat-
ic tubes for the transmission of mails
could be made self-suppcrring in large
cities.
In fact, the whole report is one which
shows a wide and thoughtful survey of
the entire postal system, and proves
that John Wanamaker is the right man
in the right place.
