Washington, Oct. 12.-The
result OF the political agitation

of 81, 100000, as compared with
the quarter ending. June 80,
and 100000, as compared with
the quarter endin Sept. 80 last
year. While the loss is not
large for the last year, as com

place in the face of the fact
that the postal revenue in,

LIGHTING A CIGAR
WITH ICE

w i / NE.
Albany Journal.
Recently a prominent law
yer arrived in Washington for
a consultation regarding some
patent cases. During the
conversation a match to light
a cigar was lacking, and the
Washingtonian remarked that
a piece Of ice would do just as
well. The lawyer laughed
and was incredulous, and a
wager was made. The Wash
ingtonian took a piece Of clear
ice about an inch thick from
the water cooler, whitfield il
into the shape of a dirk, and
with the palms Of his hands
melted its two sides convex,
thus giving the form of a dou-
bic convex lens or burning
glass. With it he focused
the suns rays on the end o
his cigar and lastly set it or
fire.
