Five hundred dollars was often
paid in Holland during the famons
tulip craze for bulb Of the Admiral
Liefkens or of the Gcuda variety,
81, 900 to $500 for Viceroy, and
$1,000 for a Semper Augustus. In
I6a4 the craze became so great that
all usual industries we're abandoned.
A choice bulb sold for 81 800 in cash.
two horses. carriage and set of
harness, representing in all $4,000.
Persons frequently invested S50,0O0
in few dozen bulbs with which to
begin business, mortgaging their
houses or giving personal property
in exchange. These extraordinary
values checked the cultivation of
tulips, as the bulbs could be bought
and at once sold at profit to
spectators. Finally the real tulip
lovers became disgusted. and in Feb
ruary, 1857, suddenly placed large
quantities of the most valuable sari-
cites upon the market. This pro-
duced an immediate and disastrous
decline in the price Of bulbs. With
out days warning, thousands found
themselves ruined. 1t was several
years before Holland overcame the
effects of this strange mania.-Chi-

Postal Service Abuses.

The investigation OF the postoffice
department which is being prosecuted
by the fourth assistant postmaster
general, it is understood by direction
OF the president, is disclosing abuses
that may cause numerous changes in
the official personnel of the depart
ment. 1t is stated that proof has been
found that there we're annual assess
ments III the division of salaries and
allow ances, which collected consider
able sums OF money that went into
any political purpose. 1t has been
found that employees have been induced
to buy stock in corporations formed
and conducted by officials of the de-
partment aud that these purchases of
stock have much the appearance of
assessments by the superiors upon the
subordinates. Under the guise of
making political assessments large
sums of money have been collected in
the rural free delivery service, which
amounts have not been accounted for
as political contributions. There is
evidence going to show that various
appliances used in postoifices have
bean contracted for with an under
standing that regular annual royalty
should be paid to department officials
on each appliance.
These are rather startling disclos-
ures if borne ont, indicating as they
do that the postotfice department has
been for sometime very c. spool of
corrupt practices and venal abuses, to
carry out which there must neoes.
