bought by Mr.. Balduf during til
great drouth, more for the purpose
of giving employment to the poor
Mexicans who gathered them, than
as an investment, though it is said
he afterwards sold them ct good
profit. Like the famed Pyramids
of Egypt, they were the subject of
endless speculation, both as to
their object and as to how they
were ever piled so high, the high
est being considerably higher than
the building near which they stood.
The stop at Arroyo, with its in
terestiug surroundings and the
friendly greeting from Postmaster
and Merchant Balduf, pleasantly
punctuated the monotony of the
long stage ride, forming an event
which help to tighten the tedium
of the journey, which used to oc-
cupy two days and a night.
The coming of the railroad left
Arroyo to one side of the highway
of travel, and now that the post
Office has been discontinued, ii
will be less visited than ever.

The S0:lili's Prosperity.
(Aionroc jcrTEal.)

The editor of the Biblical Record
or. having written an article on the
danger of the South from misuse
of the present great prosperity, re-
ceived letter on the subject from
Mr.. Richard H. Edmonds, editor OF
the Manufacturers Record, the able
exponent Of Southern material prog
ress, in which he says:
81 am sure you viii agree with the
statement that the South's prospect
ty is its greatest danger and that it
kehooves the christian people Of the
South to be much in prayer that this
prosperity of which we have seen
only the smallest beginning shall ret
prove our greatest curse. What we
see to-day, here and there, in South
ern upbuiIding, in the growth OF
towns and cities and the advance IN
wealth, is as nothing compared with
what we shall see during the next
FIVE or ten years. Ell the progress
since 1880 is to be more than dupli-
Gated within five or ten years, and 1t
will come so rapidly that it will tax
the strength Of character and the
religious life of the South to far
greater extent than war or poverty.
We are at the crucial point in South
ern life. Prosperity is coming. We
could ret stay it if we would. There
is 10 question as to the almost limit
less developments ahead OF US, Tut
it is question of profound interest
whether the people Of the South
shall become so made with
money-chasing as to forget the high
err things Of life
We have tried to point out this
same fact frequently, that money
seeking and getting as a mere end
won't bring happiness in an indi-
vidual, and the same thing is true of
a section. If the South is to remain
as happy with its money as it has
been without it, the better things
religion, morality, charity, benevo-
lence, hospitality, unselfishness, gen
crosby, consideration, education and
culture, philanthropy and sincerity
must still be cultivated.

Peculiar Postal Leak.
New YORK rIibunC.)

An order Issued by the bcSLOlilce
Department, effective July l, IN
creases the price Of stamped envel-
opes to postmasters a cents q thous-
and, while there is no change in the
retail price to users. The depart
ment will receive for these envelopes
$50, 1000 year more than previously,
and as they sell at retail at the same
figure as of old there is some specU-
lation as to just who will pay the
difference ard as to who in the past
has been receiving the money.
Beginning July l, the envelopes
will be made by the Mercantile Cor
p >ration OF Dayton, Ohio, that COM
pany having bid lower than the
Hartford Envelope Company, which
has manufactured practically all this
line Of material for the government
since stamped envelopes came into
use thirty years ago. The Dayton
company's contract is at higher
figure than that at which the work
was formerly done by the Hartford
people. It is due to this advance in
cost to the government that the
higher price has been made to the
postmasters, but the explanation of
their ability to meet that advance
without a pecuniary loss is another
story.
There has always been a leak in
the retailing of stamped envelopes
which the department has been I'M
able to stop. It results from the
sliding scale applied TO sales in small
quantities, which always made q dis
crepancy between the cash and the
stamp account. Stamped envelopes
which cost S21. a thousand, or g
fraction more than two cents each,
were sold at three cents for a single
envelope, five cents for two, seven
cents for three, nine cents for four,
and so Oh. In each transaction there
is a profit Of q fraction Of cent, and
exact change could rarely be made.
Postmasters account to the depart
ment at wholesale prices for the
stamped envelopes handled, and
what becomes Of the balance remains
a question. The profit may go to
the postmaster or his clerk, who
may account to him as he, accounts
to TIE department. There is claim
that the local postoffice is entitled to
this margin to cover mistakes some
times made in making change, these
mistakes being held as inevitable AID
the clerk and the postmaster being
compelled to make good. On Feb
rdary 81, 1905, an order was issued
requiring all postmasters to account
for this margin in small sales, but il
is understood that this accounting
has never been generally made.
The raise of four cents q thousand
on these envelopes will !, with the same
retail price, undoubtedly cut this IN
known profit. 1t is not known from
whom the $4,000 advance in the sale
of these envelopes will come certain
ly not from the public. 1t will b.
either the loss of the stamp clerks a
various Offices or postmasters, wht
have under the old way of doing bust
ness, received the profits of the SINAI
sales.
