the male population in this country
was one in 494 and in 1880 it was one in
39s. The number of lawyers in legis-

their proportion of the population
would warrant. In Maine there has
been on the average one lawyer for
each ten members; in Vermont and
Rhode Island, one for each twelve; in
Connecticut and in New Hampshire,
one in sixteen, and in Massachusetts,
one in nine. OF the entire number of

THE SOUTH AMERICAN PEccARY.

which animal was wearing as near a
gratified smile as his piggish face could.
"Watch-hOg," cried quick-tongued
boy.
The boy was correct; for the animal
belongs to the swine family. It's ma
tive country is Central America, but it
has been most numerous in Mexico.
This peccary had been brought to
the place when young, and as he grew
up he adapted himself easily to the
new condition. He knew well his
duties and his privileges in the locali-
ty. He was at this time about the size
of a sheared year-old sheep. He was
covered with rather stiff brown hair,
and fiourished occasionally a very
short goatish tail
The kennel of this curious watch
dog" was a nest of hay and rags the
latter usually toted thither by him
self under the stairs, which were a
little distance back from the main door
to any person in company with the
hostlers, but if these were absent he
was very jealous of anyone who came
into the building, trotting about near
his side, and uttering threatening
shifts and grunts if the stranger
touched anything.
His usual mode of attack was a side
blow of the chops, bringing a tusk of
considerable size into a tearing ac-
quaintance with the intruder's trou-
sers.
Dogs were liable to similar attacks.
They were generally shy of the pecca-
ry, bristling up to their best, either
from fear or rage, at the sight of the
strange animal who had assumed their
vocation. They doubtless regarded
him as ''scab," as men who have
abandoned work call those who venture
to take their places.
Pee" could climb the stairs over his
kennel as easily as dog. He could
even mount short ladder.
This facility in going upstairs was
most striking whenever a hen broke
out in a consequential cackle The
peccary knew what this meant, and if
no person was near enough TO prevent
he was up in the hayloft in jiffy, and

THE POSTAL SERVICE.
Report of the First Assistant Post
master General
1t Covers the Most Important Branches
of the Service-He Suggests That
Free Delivery in villages
Be Discontinued.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-First Assist
ant Postmaster General Frank 81.
Jones, of Illinois, who has super
vision Of the divisions of salaries
and allowances, free delivery, post
Office supplies. money order sys-
TEN, dead letter Office and CORE
spondence, has submitted his annual
repor. for the year ended June
90 last to the postmaster general.
The report is a very interesting one
and covers the most important
branches of the service. Mr.. Jones
reviews his recommendation of last
year as to the growing evil of boycott
ting Of post offices. He says
The compensation of postmasters at post
of1ces Of the fourth class consists mainly Of
the cancellation of postage stamps upon mat
ter actually mailed at their off1ces. In many
cases, owing to political differences, selfish
motives of storekeepers, petty Jealousies or
personal feeling from other causes. the COM
pensation OF postmasters is serious cur
tailed by collecting and mailing letters on
the cars, or sending them to an
adjoining post Office for mailing, thereby de-
priving the fourth-class postmaster of his
cancellations, and consequently reducing his
salary and depriving first and second-class
reducing the receipts and office allowances.
This is carried to a grievous extent in some
communities. and is such an interference with
the usual and regular disposition of the mails
as in my Judgment calls for legislation by con-
gress"
The report shows the total allowance
for clerks hire TO have been IS, $40, 331,
and S5,719, 900 on account of salaries to
postmasters at presidential Offices of
which there were 3,402. The gross re-
ceipts of those offices was SIS. 6s5, OBS
for the year. New York has the
largest number of post offices of any
state. leading with 2S6, and Pennsyl-
vania second with PAS Sixteen million
dollars were appropriated on account
of the postmasters' salaries this year.
and Mr. Jones estimates that SIC, 500,
600 will be sufficient for the next fiscal
year.
Mr.. Jones suggests that the expert
mental free delivery in towns and vii
lagos be discontinued at the close of
the current fiscal year. He says the
proposed system of rural free delivery
would result in an additional cost to
the government of about $40, 900 for the
first year, and he is not in favor of the
scheme.
