The Postal Whistle.

New York undoubtedly has an admit
rable mail service. A city letter sent on
its way within business hours will get
there almost as quickly as q telegram.
and not infrequently quicker than q
messenger. The deliveries and collec-
tons are frequent. the carriers careful
and courteous, and blindly directed mis-
sives are generally delivered to their
owners after very short hunt. How
letters bearing only the name of COM
parative strangers are promptly deposit
ed in Office or fiat boxes surprises stran-
gers. When the postman drops letter
in your house box, or deposits paper or
packet On the tiles beneath it, he pulls
your bell and whistles. These postal
whistles are similar to those used by the
police. So when the bell jingles and the
whistling follows there's no need to
open the door or wonder who's there
You know all about it, The postal whis-
tie could be adopted with benefit else
where. New York Letter

The Night Conductors Courtship.

Tho conductors OH the night runs are
usually more genial than those who
look after the fares in the daytime.
Just why this should be SO is not quite
clear, but the fact that most of them
conduct affairs of the heart with young
women who are engaged in domestic
service during the daytime may have
something to do with it. In making as
signments the aim usually is to put the
married men on the day runs and the
single men ON at night. As soon as the
evening dishes are out of the way the
lady in whom lie is interested boards
his car, and between one end of the line
and the other they manage to have a
lengthy tete-a-tete. The gripman is
moro fortunately situated than the con-
ductor in this respect, as his little
chats are not subject to frequent inter
ruptions, as the conductors are.-Chi-

Rev. b. Fay Mills, the Evangelist.

AS Rev. B. Fay Mills, who is to
conduct series Of religious meetings in
our city next month, is unknown, except
by reputation, to large portion of our
cltizens, we give below the endorsem ent
OF Presidents Gates of Amherst college
and Prof. Walker of the sarue institution,
President Gates says:
fhere was great power, a simplicity
ana strength about his preaching which
bore witness to the presence of the Holy
Spirit. his methods are reasona bill
rather than exceptionally emotional:
although very deep feeling results from
series of such meetings."
Professor Walker. Gle speaks with
absolute freedom and never uses notes
He is natural orator, an educated man
and he addresses the towDspeonIe and
the students at the college with canal
freedom. His language is well chosen
and without grammatical errors. He is
a college man ana q graduate OF the An
dover Theological Seminary, and has n
fund Of knowledge gathered in mo
course of his experience, by which he ia
enabled to illustrate his points in a tel
ling manner, and of which he has .
part, thus giving them an added inter
est to the listeners. We are all much
pleased with what he. has accomplished. y
Mr.. Mills has just closed a series of re-
markable meetings in Amherst COLLEGE.
in which large mum Der of the students
were converted.
