very good suggestion has been made anent
the postoffice and its methods. This sticking
stamps on letters is something simply dread
full. If some one would devise means of
avoiding it without cheating Uncle Sam out of
his 2 cents he would make an everlasting or
tune and have his craven image set up in
Central Park as token of gratitude.
Women do not care TO put their tongues to
the stamps, so they moisten the envelope with
their tongues instead. The whole plan is
crude and disagreeabie.
But suppose man has 200 letters to send.
To put stamp on each one requires time, aud
time is money. You may possibly lose the
mail because you are compelled to go through
this ''gum stick 'em" process.
The suggestion is this: That we ought to
have the same privileges in this country
which prevail in England. We have sort of
divine right to the best of everything, and
Congress ought not to deprive US of a Single
jot or little. Over yonder man may do up
bundle OF letters, send them to the office with
the postage money, and the clerk simply
stamps "Paid" on them, and the thing Is
done.
That is good idea. and If at the next ses-
sion of Congress this matter of general comfort
can be taken up and considered, as Byron
said, "an the world and his wife, Will be

THE Mikado is anxious to visit the

high council of his empire will allow
him to be away from hone so long. 1t
would be an excellent thing for him to
come. Our relations with Japan have
been friendly and reciprocal, and cordi.
ally helpful from the beginning, in
strong contrast with those maintained
by some of the European nations.
They are sure to continue so, to the
greater and greater advantage of both
countries. japan will always need
and is likely to have our friendship,
and without direct alliance with her,
which our traditionary policy forbids,
its moral effect will be of utmost ad-
vantage to her. While we are sure to
find in Japan sharp industrial colu-
petitor in some lines, we shall also find
in her a good customer, with increas-
ing capacity to consume our products,
and sympathetic neig h Dor and friend.
We hope the Mikado will come and
make us substantial visit. He is
something more than a soyereign; that
is, he is a man OF sense and wisdom,
which many sovereigns are not, and it
would be pleasure to welcome him in
any capacity. N. Y. Tribune.

Of wells completed would show an in

production would prove corresponding

as it was made evident the average

The Jail is sometimes made the aye
nue. OF private industry, and it is not
many years ago that prosperous dis
tillery was discovered in the prison at
Sing Sing run by a convict who had
been sent up as moonshiner, and
who had in some way found means to
continue his calling during his incar-
ceration. More recently New Jersey
'greengoods" dealer sent out his cir
culars from one of the jails of the Com
monwealth offering to instruct begin
ners in the business on the remission
of moderate fee. He got so many re-
sponses that the case attracted the at
tention of the postal authorities, and
his mail was withheld, whereupon he
brought suit against the Government,
insisting that his business was legiti-
mate, and did not lack lawyers to sus-
tain him in that contention. Just now
a man milliner plies his craft from the
Ludlow Street Jail, and seems to do
rushing business, being, no doubt a
master Of his art, temporarily under a
cloud and Obliged like the canary bird
and the Russian patriot, to pursue his
vocation in captivity. In comparison
with distilling and the "greengoods"
traffic, dressmaking is an innocent oc-
cupation, though it may be equally in
furious to the customer; but the jail is
no place in which to pursue Il. 1t
makes private use of public premises,
and is unfair to the outside competitor,
who pays his rent, and has besides
other morally indefensible aspects.
The imprisoned artificer should be al
lowed to hang up his shingle in the
sweet air of liberty as soon as possible,
and enact his professional mis6ts with
out the surveillance of the circumja-
cent catch polls and turkeys more
confusing to the man milliner than to
the ordinary run of prisoners.
