The Fast Mall Service.

Under the policy OF the Postmaster Gen
eral, the New York and Florida fast mail
service is likely to be discontinued after
June 80. 1892. This Is very unfortunate.
The benefits accruing to the Atlantic sea-
board cities, especially those Of North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, are
Sc many and 50 great as 60 make the con-
tinuance Of the service a positive necessity.
The Postmaster Generals purpose in an
nouncing the suspension Of the fast mail is
in line with his policy Of reducing appro-
priations 10 the minimum. That determi-
nation is commendable where the service
can be dispensed with without serious in
convenience or loss to the people along the
line. But in this instance the discontinue
Ance would be accompanied with both loss
and inconvenience. Depending on this fast
train Florida has Instituted number of
small industries. the products Of which are
perisheble, but handled by the flying trains
are marketed in season.
Prompt mail delivery, attainable only by
the fast trains, is an accommodation that
cannot be overestimated. not only to people
who desire TO receive their letters and pa
pers before they grow stale. but to the bust
ness community Of the four states and all
OF their northern correspondents. 1t has
been said that the time saved on bills Of ex-
change between the north and south
amounts to more than enough to pay for
the service.
What the stoppage Of the fast through
trains means to travel, especially tourist
travel, may be readily conjectured. During
recent years millions of dollars have been
expended in the south in fitting up palaces
for tourists from the north, and they have
lately begun to extend the season on each
end until it embraces a good part Of the
year. With the fast mail stopped the ''sea-
son" will be cut down to about three
months.
Another consideration, reaching beyond
the United States territory, is the quick
communication afforded under the present
system with Cuba and the West Indies. In
view Of the recently ratified commercial
treaty with the British West Indies it
seems that direct and rapid mail commune
cation must be maintained, or much of the
advantage claimed to accrue from that ar
rangement will be lost, and by no route
can the West Indies be reached SO quickly
as by the New York and Florida fast mail,
connecting with a steamship line at Tampa.
The last congress passed bill substituting
American ships for mail service to foreign
ports; then why can not congress pay-not
give bounty to-railroads for line of
mail service Of such great advantage to so
large a section of countrys 1t is to be hoped
the appropriation and the fast mail will be
continued.

His Curiosity was Satisfied.

In an elevated railway train last week sat a
tired-looking workman and with him was an
active boy Of about 10 years. says the New
York Tribune. They were going mp town. At
Chambers street young man with a big basket
got into the car and sat down opposite the
pair. he put the basket on the seat beside him,
and pulling newspaper from his pocket, held
II up before his face and was soon oblivious to
his surroundings.
The boy was restless. He was constantly
hogetinR. The man had restrained him several
times but chains and gag would hardly have
Kept him perfectly quiet His eyes we're in
stantly fixed upon the basket. He made I'M his
mind that there was something good inside it.
Papa, papa" he demanded.
Hush, boyr' said the tired man. as he leaned
his head against the window. closed his eyes
and tried to sleep.
Can't look into it papa?"
Don't bother me, say"
Silence followed for little time and then:
Say, papa, only want to look. Can't II"
Look at anything you like, but don't wake
me again or Ill cuff you"
The boy slipped from his seat cautiously. He
Kept an eye on the owner of the basket but the
newspaper still held him and the coast was clear
Inc basket had strong wicker cover, which,
was fastened firmly with string. He tried to
unite the string for some time, but failing in
this, he took q jack-knife out of his pocket and
steaitnily cut the knot. Taking another careful
look at the owner of the basket, the mischievous
lad lifted the lid slowly and putting his eye to
the opening, peered in.
Then quick as q flash the cover was knocked
up out of his hand, and brown streak shot
from inside it to the top Of the boys head. The
lads first cry of surprise was followed imme-
diately by shrieks OF pain and terror. Some
tnlng i've was perched on the boys head tear
ing the hair out 10 wisps and scratching his face
and ears till the blood ran
=, The father grabbed his precious boy Just as
the owner OF the animal grabbed the monkey
from the boys head and restored it to the basket
The lad had not had much of a look at the
monkey, but his curiosity seemed to be fully

A Story to Sui. All Preachers.

In its obituary notice of Mr.. Spurgeon the
Washington Post said that when entering his
church one Sunday he heard a young man say:
Its id hot day." and that he made it the
text OF a powerful sermon against blasphemy
Whereupon correspondent of the Post shows
what an ancient ana peripatetic old rounder
this story Is. "In 1S4S," he says, 1.-The year be-
fore Mr.. Sturgeon entered the pulpit as a boy
preacher, was the youngest apprentice In a
printing Office, the foreman of which used to
repeat a story exactly identical with the above
except that he laid It TO the charge Of a minis
ter who had labored and died in Erie, Pa. years
before, when the foreman was a boy Twenty
years later the story was revived, with Henry
Ward Beecher's name In it. After il had gone
rounds for several years In the face OF explicit
denials, l mentioned to Mr.. Beecher my first
acquaintance with the story, under circum-
stances which carried it back TO q period before
his birth. He smilingly replied that he was
tired OF denying the truth of the story as ap-
piled to himself and felt compelled to let it
run. And now the same old lie comes to the
surface again, with Mr.. Sturgeon as the princi-
pal actor; 1t will never die. In the distant fut-
ure, when some dusky scholar from Central
Africa sits upon the crumbnng arches of the
congressional library and views the ruins of the
capitol, it will still be in circulation, modified
only by inserting the name of the latest
renowned dreacher.n

Death of Editor Pool.

Our dispatches yesterday contained the
announcement Of the death of Stephen d.
Pool, one Of the editors of the New Or
leans Times Democrat. His death was
great and sad surprise to quite a number of
newspaper men in this state and other
southern states who had recently seen him
in Atlanta at the meeting OF the Southern
Press Association. 1t was only week ago
last Friday that he parted with his fellow
members Of the association and expressed
the hope that it would not be long before
he would meet them again. He was in good
health at that time and had every reason to
look forward to long life of usefulness.
Mr.. Pool represented the Times Democrat
for quite number Of years at the meetings
OF the Southern Press Association and was
regarded as very able and careful coun-
selor in all matters pertaining to the southern
press. He was not only an excellent
editor, but also a good business man.
He was about 40 years Of age at the time of
his death. Before joining the editorial staff
of the TinteSDemocrdt he was printer
and a very good one. He was the son of
Col. Pool, of North Carolina, who COM
manded regiment from that state during
the war Of secession. Stephen D. Pool, I'M
aided, won the place he held in New Or
leans, and had he lived it is probable that
in a few years he would have made q
reputation as an editor that would not have
been confined to that city.
