Some Little-Known Facts.

Only Is per cent. of all the families
in America employ domestic help, leav-
ing 81 per cent. without even one SER
want.
If all the dressmakers known to exist
in America worked twenty-four hours
of each day for whole year, without
stopping for sleep or meals, they would
still be able to make only one dress
apiece for less than seven-eighths of
the women of America.
Not 6 per cent. of all the women in
America spend as much money as $50
per year on their clothes.
Out of 100000 American families
the income of 100000 Of these families
is less than $500 each per year, and the
incomes of nearly eighty per cent of
the entire number are less than 81 600
each per year.
There are scores of places in this
country where only one mail comes
every fourteen days.
Ask the average person where the
central point of area is in the United
States and he will fix it somewhere in
Illinois. Tell him it is nearer San Fran
cisco and he will be incredulous until
he remembers that Alaska is within
the boundaries of Uncle Sam.-Edward

MoLINEUx CASE.
Motion Of the District Attorney for
a Special Jury Denied.

NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-The Appel
late Division of the Supreme Court de-
MED to-day the motion of the District
Attorney for a special jury in the case
of Roland B. Molineux, accused of the
murder of Mrs. Kate J. Adams.
The ground upon which the decision
was made was technical merely, and
Assistant District Attorney Lebarbier,
who argued the motion, said the ao-
plication will be renewed.
The court ruled that when the aD-
plication was made an indictment was
pending in the Supreme Court. The
removal of the case to the Court of
General Sessions alters the entire status
of the case, and as there is now no in
dictment pending in the Supreme Court,
the application must fail.
Counsel for Molineux asked the court
to order the District Attorney to pro
coed with the case forthwith, that it
might be tried November 18th, the day
set
Judge Van Brunt replied that he
doubted if such an order would hold
and refused to grant the request.

POSTAL SERVICE.
Large Number Of New Postmasters
Appointed the Past Year.

WASHINGTON, Nov 10.-Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Joel
BriStow, in his annual report to-day,
announced that during the past fiscal
year, 14,640 Postmasters were appoint
ed, 1881 being fourth class Post
masters and the remainder Presiden-
tial. Concerning the policy of removals,
the report says:
THE policy of former Administrations
of removing fourth class Postmasters
for political reasons, regardless of
length of service, resulted in the chang
ing of PoStmaSterS in all of the i'm
portant fourth class offices early in
the Administrations. The four years
term of the great majority of fourth
class POstmaSters therefore expired
early in the Administration, which ac
counts for the greatly decreased num-
Der of appointments made during the
fiscal year as compared with the pre-
ceding one Special attention to disci-
plinary measures and the general i'm
provement of the service has therefore
been permitted"
There were 1885 Postoffices estab-
lished and 1,505 discontinued. At the
close of the year the total number of
10000. Extension of rural free deliv-
cry necessitated disseminating eighty
Postoffices, applications to restore a
number of which are now pending
About 1000 more Postoffices were in
spected than in any previous year. Reg
istered mail lost averaged one piece in
every 1880 handled. There were
1,6I9 postal arrests during the year. in
Guiding 119 Postmasters, 81 Assistant
Postmasters, Al Postoffice clerks, u
railway postal clerks, 81 letter carriers
and 361 Postoffice burglars. OF all
these 6o9 were convicted and 500 cases
are still pending in the courts.
The report says the practicability of
transporting the mails over the pro-
posed allAmerican route to the Yukon
Alaska, was problem yet to be de-
termined, and recent inspection found
SO few settlers in this interior country
that only one Postoffice was established
Among the recommendations are for
authority for inspectors to take out
search warrants whenever necessary;
for payment of expenses of various au-
thorities in arrest and detention of
Postoffice prisoners; an appropriation
for construction of inspectors lookouts
in Postoffices wherever deemed neces-
sary. an amendment to the Interstate
Commerce Law to prohibit telegraph
and express companies or employees
from abetting in green goods swindles,
lotteries or similar schemes; legislation
prohibiting loose 'pouching of circulars
and other small mail matter, and pro-

Eccentricity and Genius.

Goethe was the victim of Illusions
and used to see strange visions in the
streets.
Pope had a mind as distorted as his
body, and at times saw such fearful
visions that he dared not sit or sleep
alone.
De Quincy and Coleridge were &C.
centric to the point of madness, the
result perhaps of laudanum as much as
of genius
Edgar Allan Poe, Byron, Sir Joshua
Reynolds and a hundred other men of
genius have been either eccentric or
the victims of strange illusions.
William Blake, the great poet painter
of last century, was undoubtedly mad.
and lived among the creatures of his
disordered fancy.
Tasso. the great italian poet, was
subject to attacks of mania so violent
that he was more than once confined in
a madhouse.
Zola is a mass of morbid fancies
which makes his life. successful as it
has been, a purgatory. Even when
he retires for the night he must open
his eyes seven times to assure himself
that he actually lives. while he sees
disaster in everything from cab with
an unlucky number to entering his
house with his left foot.
