The department at Washington is evidently doing its best to make il pleasant for the new Republican post. master appointed at Globe, when he goes into office. Notice has been re- cei7ed that an additional allowance for rent has been made. The total com pensation of the postmaster amounts now to fully $500, and despite the talk of dull times the business of the office is increasing. When we were postmaster under the reign of King Grover, his pompous little hireling, Waterberry, reported that we were getting too much rent-the muDifcent sum of S11.50 per month--and upon his recommendation it was cut down to S7.50, and in order to cinch us real hard the department held us up for $120 back pay allowed us by Repub. lican administration. Waterberry never returned to Globe te afford us the opportunity of winding him up, 6 job we would take great delight in.
