THE POST0FfIcE WEIGHING.
Some Figures on the Amount Of Mail Sc n
from Augusta.

The weighing of all mail original
ing in the United States. which COM
| menced on October 3. closed at mid
night, November 6. This showed the
entire weight of mail matter and mail
| equipment originating in all the Offices
and railway postal cars during this
! time. IL was the most comprehensive
and exact account of the mails ever
| taken IN the United States. and was
| taken for the Information of the post
ONCE department and its officials rela-
tive to forthcoming legislation during
the next session Of Congress.
Although there was a change in the
machinery Of one of the publishing
houses in this city, and for nearly two
weeks during this time the mail orig
mating at Augusta was comparatively
light. the aggregate figures are graft
Tying. and Il proof of the increase of
business which was pointed out in the
Journal. yesterday. During this period
of 50 days, u, tons of letters were
sent from the Augusta postoffice; of
merchandise mail there was the large
weight of Il tons, and over half a ton
was sent free by government officials;
but as would be expected, the great
weight was in the second class or
newspaper mail. which was 1861 tons,
representing an average considerably
over 10 tons Il day. including Sundays,
originating at this postoffice. This
mail with the equipment necessary to
carry it amounted to AS tons.
In the account which has been kept
1t has been necessary to make a diVi-
sion of all this matter. charging up
what was carried by railroad and what
by other means. 1t is unnecessary to
add that great credit IS due the entire
working force at the postoffice. that
they have been able. with such an i'm
menSe amount of work, to take on the
additional work that the handling of
this mail for the scales on it's way out,
as we'll as in. means, and particularly
is credit due to the crew in the news
paper office. who have done this large
amount of extra work in room
which has been at times crowded to
the ceiling with the accumulation of
mail and which. under the present
amount of work. is at all times I'M
comfortably crowded and SO cramped
that it is with difficulty that the
trucks have sufficient room to move
down the alley way.

Commissioner c. F.. Oak was telling
Tuesday. of some of the opposition to the
fish and game laws that was brought
up by member of the Legislature ut
the time they were being formulated
several years ago. Mr.. Oak was talk
ing about the success of some persons
in hunting, and this called to mind the
opposition which was of the most curl
Gus sort one would ever suspect from
lawmaker. 1t seems that this man
who was both a good politician and a
religious man. had thought over the
game protection business and he had
seen an obstacle.
II shall net favor anything of the
sort he said. Il have known where
men have gone into the woods for
other purposes than for hunting. using
the hunting part as their excuse.
have actually known men to carry
liquors and cards into the woods and
cannot countenance anything that will
make such deception possible"
Yet the game laws exist today.

Hon. F. NJ. Simpson. Hon. S. J..
Chadbourne. Daniel II. Emery and
Joseph +. Alexander, who with friends
have been in the northern woods hunt
ing for big game returned home. Tues
day morning, but it is sad to relate
that they brought home no game. They
were in game section but it seemed to
have heard of their approach and the
game fled in another direction. for only
two of the party saw deer. 1t was
rather a disappointment, not only to
themselves but to their friends. to
think that they should waste so much
time in the preparation for the hunt
ing trip and then after reading all the
books on the subject and Arranging
stories to tell when they got back that
all should be of no avail. for they are
truthful. Many reasons are given for
their inability to shoot a deer. all of
which they say are untrue, but the fact
remains that they did not get their
game and they are temporarily in dis
grace.
AS marked contrast to the feats of
the four gentlemen who have hereto
fore been held forth as the best hunters
outside the fish and game department,
is the sound that comes from thu
Schoodic region where single handed

Yer. Tuesday morning, that he would

Do not confound this machine with
the kaleidoscope. The kaleidoscope is a
small machine that you look into, one
person at time, and shows but one
scene, very small. A Cinematograph
puts the picture on curtain where a
thousand can see it at once. and gives a
multitude of scenes, life-size, and with
all the motion of actual life. There
has been wonderful improvements in
the past few weeks-natural color, no
pickering the Norcross bar-all are TO
be found in this machine; one of the
very few which has it. In the way Of
films too, the Improvements are grand
Not only the scenes but the sounds are
actually reproduced, as in nature. You
actually hear the battles as well as see
them; you feel the motion of the sea in
storm and the railroad scenes No
matter what you have seen, if you have
not seen the results accomplished by
this machine, you have not seen the best
