Many a good item Of news is lost
to the newspapers by the modesty
of people who hesitate to- tell report
ers of matters concerning them
selves. Not that they do not want
it to appear in print, but they are
afraid they would be pushing them
selves forward. From, a reporters
standpoint a man who will stop a re-
porter on the street and inform him
that he has been to Chicago, that he
is going to get married, or his wife
entertained friends from a distance,
is the dearest on earth. If you have
done anything mean or disreputable
it isn't necessary to tell it, for there
are always people who will do that
for YOU.

1t may be of benefit to some of our
readers to learn that endive, which may
be grown easily in any vegetable gar

dandellon greens when in its fresh state,
and may be preserved for Winter and
early Spring use by packing in salt.
The writer while visiting in the State of
Maine in March, 1871, enjoyed dish
OF these greens, and could hardly be-
lieve that it was not fresh dandelons.

Advance.

Under authority conferred by the
postoflice appropriation bill, Post
master General Hitchcock on Sept. /
increased the salaries Of rural letter
carriers on standard routes from
$1,000 to 81, 100 year, thus affecting
30, 900 men, with prOportionate in
creases to carriers on shorter routes.
The order will become effective Sep
TENDER 30.
This will mean an increased dis
bursement OF 81, 900, 600 year. It is
the second salary advance for rural
carriers made in the last four years.
Mr.. Hitchcock has directed also
that rural mail carriers on the com
pletioa OF twelve months service be
granted fifteen days leave with pay.

was instituted sixteen years ago,
eighty-three carriers were employed,
at an annual cost OF Sl4, $40, the max
imum individual pay being 5000 a
year.
The increase provides rural carriers
adequate compensation for additional
burdens TO be imposed by the parcels
