The Post office Removal.

Last week an order was received
from the First Assistant Postmaster
General to move the Mt. Sterling
office from its present location to the
one it occupied before the fire of last
May. A protest was sent from here
against such removal and orders
promptly came from Washington to
let matters stand as they are till an
investigation is had.
The people generally are much more
anxious about the removal of the
Postmaster than the Post office. Let

Speaking of postmasters, Posimas-
ter General Bssell stated to delega-
ton of Missouri congressman that the
policy of the department concerning
appointments had been misrepresented
by certain class of newspapers. In
the first place, it had been stated by
these newspapers that the recommend
ations of Congressman would count
for nothing. As a refutation of that
statement the fact was pointed out
that not single postmaster had yet
been appointed who did not have the
endorsement of his Congressman.
While not disposed to ignore the Con-
gressmen, Mr.. Bissell said that the
question OF who should be postmaster
should, in a measure at least, be de-
cided by the people of the locality,
who were morh directly interested
than anyone else, and that the wishes
of the people, when expressed, would
certainly be considered in making
the appointments. Nobody is to be
ignored. What the department wants
is the cooperation of both the people
and the Congressman in the selection
of such postmasters as will increase
the efficiency of the postal service.
Mr.. Bissell also denounced as false
the statement that women and editors
are to be Disseminated against in the
selection of postmasters.

Washington, d c., March q

President Cleveland has done no
more popular thing since he assumed
his high office than when he dumped
on, to use bit of expressive slang,
the head of the Shiny serpent, nepot-
ism, which had started to wriggling
around entirely toe promiscuously.
He first took occasion to inform dis
tingueshed Southern Senator who had
appointed his son to be Clerk of the
Senate committee of which he was
lately made chairman, that in conse-
quence of that appointment, indicat-
ing desire to look out for his per-
sonal and family interests first of all,
his recommendation had been much
weakened. Next, he took a Western
Congressman's breath away, when, as
a clinching argument in favor of the
appointment to Office of one of his
constituents, he said: "And he is q
relative of yours, Mr.. President" by
saying: "That settles it. No relative
of mine shall be appointed to Office by
me-" He then gave that Congress-
man short but comprehensive lesson
on nepotism, which, it is safe to say,
he will never forget if he lives a GEN.
tury. 1t is also safe to say that the
head of the aforesaid Shiny serpent
will not be reared in any of the execu-
tive departments for four years to
come, all of which is decided gain
for the country.

The executive department are be-
ing put upon Democratic basis as
rapidly as possible, and Republican
chiefs of bureaux and divisions are
being succeeded by Democrats as fast
as the heads of the departments can
select the new officials. Democratic
economy is also being put into practi-
cal operations. Following Secretary
MortOn's order dismissing all the SUI
perfuous employees of the Department
of Agriculture, came an order from
Secretary Carlisle to the division chiefs
of the Treasury Department, ordering
the immediate dismissal of every en-
ploye not absolutely essential to keep
up the work of the department. The
Democratic Administration was voted
into power to reduce the extravagant
expenditures of the Government, and
every member of il is fully determined
that the wishes of the voters shall be
carried out to the letter.

Superintendent Forbush Of the gypsy
moth commission says that a band Of
burlap tied about the trees has proved
an efficient trap for the gypsy moth, and
that as many other species of insects in
furious to trees We're also found in these
traps he urges farmers to apply them
generally. Among the insects caught
were many borers, and the application of
this simple trap will be further efica-
cious in preventing the spread Of the
borers. The trap consists simply of a
piece of burlap few inches wide tied
about the tree, the bark having been
first scraped so as to furnish q smooth
place to tie it on the tree.
The upper part Of the hurlap is then
loosely turned over the string, and all
those insects which crawl up the trunks
of trees to secrete themselves in the
loose bark or other hiding places will be
found in the burlap if it is put on at the
right time 1t must be applied at the
season when insects are ascending. The
trap should be looked after every few
days.-Grange Homes.

A GIRLS SELF SACRIFICE.
She Was a "spoiled Child" but She Sur
prised the Whole Family.

She Was a "spoiIed Child" but She Sur
prised the Whole Family.
There is a sweet girl know who is a
bit self willed. She is the youngest Of
four sisters, and-oh, speak it lows a
bit spoiled, though she doesn't think SO,
but what spoiled child ever does? Well,
her eyes had been troubling her for a
long time, but no amount of persuasion
on the part of the family could induce
her to see an oculist. She is young and
pretty and could not bear to think of
putting ON the "horrid things" The
family all thought her bit frivolous
and grew quite impatient over the af-
fair, but that dear child proved herself a
heroine in a way and went up several
pegs in the estimation of the family.
Supplied with her monthly allowance,
she went shopping with list long
enough to swallow up all her shekels.
There was a new gown, a hat and gloves
and inuumerable accessories to be
bought; so, after informing the family
of her departure and dropping out a
hint that she might perhaps stop at the
oculist's, she urged one Of the sisters to
go with her aud sailed forth. They
wendell their way to the oculist's first
of all, hoping the while that there was
nothing serious the matter. But the
oculist looked grave and gave SO many
tests that the girls began to doubt that
wishing made any difference, and when
he announced a grave disorder in the
sight of the pretty blue eyes and that
it was absolutely necessary that she
should wear glasses constantly their last
hopes fed, and the girls fell to discussing
the ACCESSIBILITY of eyeglasses or specta.
cles and finally decided upon the latter
as much more sensible, since they were
to be worn constantly.

few necessary articles being purchased.

fuses about taxes don't always pay
a truth that is as forcible ON the Maine

illustrated by the experience Of a Cana
dian farmer whose land, mostly in one
parish, extended little within the
bounds of another parish-St Ours-in
which he was subjected to a tax of Al
cents. He refused to pay, and IL suit en-
sued. Hewon at first, but an appeal was
taken, with the result that after a long
fight the case was decided against him,
and he had not only the tax to pay with

ably will have one satisfaction from the
suit-he will not have any more taxeJ to

A TRANSPLANTED DUKE.

Edinburgh's New Titles and Estates In
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.
1t is not improbable that the Duchess
of Edinburgh had considerable influence
in bringing about the decision Of her
husband to resign his admiralship in the
British navy and accept the dukedom of
Saxe-C -Gotha. The duchess does
not like England over much, and the
English do not like her. Immediately
after her arrival in England the question
of precedence at court ceremonials came
up, the duchess insisting ON her right as
the daughter of one czar and the sister
of another to take rank ahead of the
daughters of the queen. She won her
point, but the victory made her unpop-
lar. Besides this, she never got on well
with the Princess of Wales, and her re-
lations with the queen were rather diplo-
matte than cordial.
The duke himself was never particu-
larly popular in England, and this fact
may also have had its influence on his
decision, which might have been very
