staunton Fedaral building.

Uuder the above heading Yoscs Week
ly of last Thursday said at was learned
at the Supervising Architects Office in
Washington last week that the plans
and specifications for the Public Build
ing at Staunton would be ready in the
early spring. Work was commenced on
them last fall, but there were several
large buildings in process of construc-
tion on which a large amount of money
had been expended. Additional archi-
tectural work and was needed, by reason
of a change i'll some part of the plans,
and this had to be attended to or work
stopped. In the emergency, other work
had to be dropped and attention given
to this. For this cause the work which
was promised on the Staunton building
last fall had to be suspended until the
architects office is somewhat relieved of
pressing demands. Staunton stands first
ON the list of the new buildings, and
we had the assurance of the officer in
charge that he would get to work on it
within a month. The whole difficulty
arises from an inadequate appropriation
for the architects office, in view of the
large amount of work to be performed.
Consequently additional force could not
be employed, as there is no money to
pay it. The architects office is very
busy, and has vast amount of work to
do. 1t is hoped and believed that by
early spring everything will be ready for
a fair start"

Three Men in Luck.

John Cudahy and Charles Wright
made lots Of money last week. On every
sale of 10000 barrels of pork by them
they made profit of from 5000 to
$4,000. Pork bought at $l2 a barrel
sold at all the way from $3.50 to 1856.
To figure out the profit is a simple prob
lem in arithmetic. Wright sold 10000
barrels during the first two hours of
trading today, and that amount has
been fair average for him for some
time past. Cudahy has not been at all
behind in realizing on his holdings.
While Cudahy and Wright have been
taking care of the ribs and pork, N. X.
Fairbank has carried on a similar opera
ton in regard to lard, and has undoubt>
eddy added 100000 to his possessions.
Just at present these three men stand in
the position of practically controlling
the prices of these three products.
Brokers do not call itIa corner-it is
the most far seeing legitimate deal ever
displayed before the board of trade.
Only two or three parties. will profit by
the deal, and it is not due to any illegit-
innate forcing of prices, but to the actual
scarcity of the article.

TAYLOR & EICHELBERGER, Editors and Proprs
u. S. Laws Governing Subscrip>
tions to Newspapers.

We print the following postal laws in
relation to subscriptions to newspapers,
| periodicals, &c. 1t will be observed that
Publishers have rights the public are
bound to respect. They read thus:
81. Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary, are consid-
| cred as wishing to renew their subscrip-
tion.
SO. If subscribers order the discontin-
uance of their periodicals, the publisher
may continue to send them until all ar
rearages are paid.
''3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to
take their periodicals out of the post
Office to which they are directed, they are
responsible until they have settled their
bills and order them discontinued.
"A. If subscribers move to other
places without informing the publisher,
and the papers are sent to the former
address, they are held responsible.
SIS. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take periodicals from the office
or removing and leaving them uncalled
for, is prima facie evidence of intention
al fraud.
IS. If subscribers pay in advance they
are bound to give notice at the end of
the time; otherwise the publisher is au-
thorized to send it, and the subscriber
will be responsible until an express no
tice, with payment of all arrearages is
sent to the publisher.
81. The latest postal laws are such
that newspaper publishers can arrest
any one for fraud who takes a paper and
refuses to pay for it. Under this law
the man who allows his subscription to
run along for some time unpaid and orr
ders it discontinued, or orders the posts
master to mark it refused" and has
postal card sent notifying the publisher
LEAVES himself liable to arrest and fine,
the same as theft.

A Rhythmic Curiosity.
From Yost's Weekly

From Yost's Weekly.
We have been permitted to copy the
following unique acknowledgement of a
favor from the original and give it to our
readers as curiosity ia rhythmic litera
ture. A year or SO ago, q similar appli-
cation from Mr.. Stanton, was refused by
I General Echols, because of the Inter-
State Commerce law, and it called forth
plaintive wall from the author that
had a wide circulation and caused many
hearty laugh. Mr.. Stanton is a lee.
turer, and consequently not million
alre, and it is in acknowledgements of o
yearly pass over the road that General
Echols exercises control that the letter
| was written:
''My Dear Gener0z:-I know it is in
you, although at the start there didn't
appear the least sign of heart: no pulse,
no emotion externally shown, and moth
ing apparent save muscle and bone-but
in spite of a rigid and ossified air, /
could not be cheated, knew it was
there.
knew that the Lord in his wisdom
and grace, had hidden a soul in your
body some place, so 1 bided my time
through the years of the past, and my
christianlike faith is rewarded at last.
The Bible assures you it's blessed to
give, and hope you may feel it as long
as you live, but as for myself, am prone
to believe that it isn't so bad after all to
receive.
Just think of my trips to the South
and the West, on coaches the finest and
iron the best-just think how polite the
conductors will be, when this manifest
proof of Importance they see.
They will say to themselves, as mat
means and great force-now here is
nabob. a baron, a king-a fellow who
has all ''the world in Sling" and none
OF the crews of your ships of the rail-
will know of my meagre proportion of
grail.
You have done a good thing-you
have started the year by causing a smile
and suppressing a tear, by letting the
soul in your body be shown and giving
a biscuit instead of a stone
If could l would sing you a pean of
praise, to sound in the arches of all of
your ways-to fill the cathedral, its
domes and naves with undulant oceans
of musical waves, but sad for my muse,
she is trammelled to-day and bound to
the wheel in a horrible way.
Pm moving, Pm changing my place of
abode, surrounded by plumber on which
it has showed, and [ write in room
where "Old Monarch would freeze with
shaking cold hand and with shivering
knees, but l want you to know with
body all blue my heart has flaming hot
fondness for you.
Give my love to Miss Miller, for surely
no where have l looked on a presence
more passingly fair, and think l may
say, for feel it is true, that she must be
making an angel of you.
thank you again and again and
again, with my heart and my soul and
my tongue and my pen.
Sincerely,
