A prominent Southern physician, upon
reaching his Office one morning, found
an old negro who had been a servant in
his family standing in the waiting-room.
The old negro, after mentioning several
painful symptoms, related his usual hard
luck story, and begged the doctor to
prescribe.
The physician filled small bottle, and
said, "Take a teaspoonful of this, Nose,
after each meal, and come back in day
or two if you do not feel better"
Mars John, can't take dat medicine"
answered Nose.
"You will have to take it if you want to
get we'll"
"How'm 1 gwine take it? Whar'm 1

The deficit in the postal revenue
for the current year were near ST.
100000. To reduce this extraordi-
nary shortage in the future the
Postmaster General proposes to
convert the postoffice department
into a freight carrying business
which, Of course, will be great
aid to the mail order houses in the
oities, and further increase the OK
penses of conducting the business
of the postoftioe department, with
corresponding increase OF deticit
as the years roll by. The Hon.
Postmaster General being himself
identified with mail order houses,
cannot see the improperly nor ap.
probate the official faithlessness OF
advocating proposition which
means indirect personal profit to
himself Freight carrying is in no
sense any part of the business OF
postoffioe department. The people
dosnot want it. Asa fact ordinary
postal rates are too low, and the
rates now in force are tax on the
people to pay the postage OF oom'
meroial interests which, through
bribery, coercion, threats, duress
sor promises have been able to Go
cure 4eduotion after reduction in
rates, and an enlargement of the
number OF articles subject to the
lower olassifcations until as the de
partment shows, there is defioit
of nearly seventeen millions of dol
lars in one year, which must be
made mp from taxes laid upon the
people.
The average loss in the business
OF theIpostoffice department as 1t is
now conducted is about SAT 600
per day, Sundays included. To
Propose a change in the the de

pounds carried through the mails
are at an improper and too low 3
