Iy Death and Undeseryed IgnOminy.

Vandergriff of this city recently lost his
child. He has received the following let
ter from George G. Boggs, the ex-post-
master here. who has been sent TO the

heard of the death of your baby and
hasten to express my deepest sympathy
and sorrow for your wife and youself.
None but ou, of couse, can understand.
the very great loss you have sustained,
but we must take such matters as they
come, learn to believe that IT is for the
best, Is God knows best, and He knows
how much we can stand. The baby is
better off, perhaps, than If he had lived

had to, for the crime of another. just
God will make our ways bright in His

Passed.

New York, May 22.-1t has been ascer-
tanned that the Mutual Life Insurance
company, of New York, has been issuing
insurance since March 81 in excess of one
thousand millions of dollars. Some years
ago bill was introduced in the New York
legislature limiting the insurance to be
issued by any company to that amount,
and the same would probably have become
a law except for the opposition Of the
three giants" The Mutual Life has
practically made the passage of any such
law hereafter impossible.

Gen. CIRCUITS Fences.

One Vermont congressman admits
that he is making fences these days and
the other is not saying word. Who is
which ?"-[ Burlington Free Press.
Congressman Grout will undoubt-
eddy admit that he is building fence,
but not of the political sort which
the Free Press insinuates. Whether
he admits it or not, those who have
passed his large farm during the past
few weeks will easily convict him OF
stringing wire and building fence, for
they have caught him in the very act
working with his own hands. Is
this what the Free Press refers to
If so, why attempt to be so mystic
rious.
The fence, by the way, is of new
and beautiful, gossamer.like pattern
but is said to be strong. Heretofore
the Generals enemies have tried his
fences somewhat, but they have al
ways been found stronger than they
looked and sufficient to keep out al
intruders, and we venture to predict
that this will prove sufficient also.

Another Reform.

The Gar is about to tackle another
reform, they say.
It's the Russian Calendar.
All Europe and all America have
measured time since 1882 by the Gregor-
ian calendar-all except Russia, which
cings to the Julian calendar with the
energy OF despair.
The Julian calendar takes its name
from our old friend julius Caesar, who,
at the beginning Of the year 46 A. D.,
fixed the length of a year as 1864 days,
and threw in day in February once in
every four years. But as the real length
of solar year was eleven minutes and
fourteen seconds shorter than the year
adopted by Julius, it was found in 1882
that the vernal equinox had refrigerated
from March 81 to March IL. In that
year, therefore, Pope Gregory XIII. dir
ected that ten days be suppressed in the
calendar and ordered that in every fourth
year ending an even hundred years there
should be no extra day in February, un-
less the year was exactly divisible by
400, Russia, however, has never adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar, and, as Feb.
ruary in the years 100 and 1900 had
twenty-nine days in Russia and had only
twenty.eight in the other European
countries, Russia is now twelve days be-
hind the rest OF the civilized world.
The Car, it is said, purposes adopting
the Gregorian calendar, beginning on the
first day OF January next-which, one
would say, will be an excellent idea.-
