MAIL DELIVERED TO SAILORS.
River Postmen Employed on the
Thames at London, England.

1t is probable that London has the
distinction Of being the only port where
ships lying at anchor are privileged 10
have their letters delivered to them
by river postmen, it being customary
at other ports for sailors to apply per-
sCnally for their letters unless the
ship is i'll dock. The Thames is di.
Vlded into two postal districts, each
under the control of a river postman,
who delivers letters and parcels every
morning, in craft which resembles
Usher boat more than anything else.
VI these districts the first extends
from the custom house TO Lime
house, and the second from LimehouEe
to BLACKWELL. The river poStmen start
on their rounds punctually at eight
o ciOck every morning, and, needless
Ia say, there is only one delivery a
DAY. The mail bag may include as
m%ny as 500 letters, but this number
is largely increased about Christmas
time. AS be glides from ship to ship
the posiman calls out: Alloy there!"
and hands up the letters attached 10
boathook to Tho waiting crew. II
only takes from four to five hours to
deliver the mail, 50 that the postman
does not waste much time. In foggy
weather, however, 1t takes consider
ably longer, owing to the difficulties
OF hnding the various ships, and of
steering between the large vessels as
they lie at anchor.

GREAT MIN OF LAST CENTURY.
Tolstoy Ranks with Napoleon and
Abraham Lincoln.

Perhaps the most comprehensive
and enlfghtening Of the articles on the
great Russian "Lyof n. Tolstoy"
which have recently appeared is the
article by w. d. Howells in the North
American Review. Mr.. Howells places
the name of Tolstoy among the very
greatest of the names Of the nine
teenth century. There was" he says,
Napoleon and there was Lincoln, and
then there was Tolstoy in an order
which time may change, though it ap,
pears TO me certain that time will not
char2e the number Of these supreme
names" Mr.. Howells continues:
Since | have set them down here
they have suggested to me a sort Of
representative unity in their relation
TO one another. If you fancy Napol-
con the incarnation of selfish force
which inspired and supported his own
triumphant enemies in their reaction

Work OF Lincoln was no more final

In arms and in letters, putting from
