Horace Maynard, the new Postmaster General, WHS given charge of the office yesterday. Gen Tyner in his speech complimenting Judge Key, among other Utings sftid that there have been added to the list of officers and employes in the service, exclusive of contractors, probably 8,000 persons, or an addition of 15 per cent, to the whole number. Of these more than three fourths are postmaster, thus showing that over 6,(XK) postofHces have been established during this period. The mails have been ordered upon nearly, or quite. 8,000 miles of new railroads, which is an increase of of about tl per cm?. To the steamboat routes have been added about tUWO miles of new service, an inen ao of about 38 per cent. There have also been added about 1,500 new public routes, an increase of nearly or quite
fifteen jvr
cent, which are supplied
by the star service—over 20.000 miles of additional lenctb.

WHAT WE WAHT.
The Republican party should understand that we need something solid in this campaign. It is all well enough to organize and uniform Garfield escorts and Young Men's Republican clubs, and it is well enough to have large processions with torches, headed bj' brass bands and all such things. Bat what the people need is an array of the facts which threat en to destroy our Government in the hands of the Democratic party. In the sublime atmosphere of peace and pros perity, thtf rattle of drums and din of brass bands do not create votes, but when the facts which give us that peace and prosperity are brought out in bold array before the eyes of the people, they are convinced and are ready to do that which is right towards maintaining the perpetuity of the Republican institutions.
Our State Central Committee is doing much good by sending campaign documents all over the State. Our County Committee is doin^ much towards Republican success, but, we think much more could be done if the organizations in the different localities would arrange to have the local press thoroughly distributed in doubtful neighborhoods. This is much more important than having a paid speaker to exhort with the people, and surelymerits the grave consideration of every solid Republican. For example, a noted speaker is brought to Terre Haute, and the meeting is thoroughly advertised. One thousand, or two thousand peoplewill gather to hear him, and within one week nut. one hundred of those who listened to him can give the slightest outline of hi? speech. But it is impossible for them to forget what the press says about the issues of the cam* paign, because it is continually portraying the facts and figures before the people. The NEWS on every evening except Sunday glares to its fifteen hundred subscrib ers or perhaps three thousand readers the great importance of voting the Republican ticket.
Now, if one-fourth of the money which is fizzled awpy in pyrotechnical displays during the campaign was invested in an extra edition of the NEWS and distributed in doubtful localities Vigo county would give a Republican majority at the October and November elections of two thousand. The NEWS is devoted to the interests of laboring men and will protect them let come what will. Knowing this to be true the laboring men are its strongest supporters. After a day of toil they gather at their little homes and in the quiet of domestic happiness read and discuss those questions which mostly affect the well fare of their little families.
We earnestly ask our Republican friends to read and ponder well these questions and then make up their minds to consider what we want.
OUR 80UTHERN LETTER,
Elsewhere will be found a letter addressed to Hon. I. N. Pierce, from a former Indiana man, well known in this State, who has resided in Florida about three years. Its tenor shows the true attitude of the Democratic party in that State. He shows just how much truth there is in the statement of Senator Jones, when he said at Indianapolis, on the evening of the 20tli of August, that "the Re publican party misrepresents the Southern pcoplo, and it is unjust in saying there is a rebel spirit in the South."
The writer speaks from his own knowledge when he says that on the Fourth of July the stars and stripes were torn from a German-American's residence, and dragged through the dust, and the man who hoisted the flag shot at. That looks a good deal like "exercising American rights under a common flag and a common con stitution."
Here is a man who says he is afraid to speak Republican sentiments for fear of being murdered, and who says the North does not know anything at all about the murders that have been committed by Democrats in the South during the past ten years. And yet Senator Jones speaks of "their ambition to bring about a spirit of unity of all sections." We ask our readers to examine this letter and judge for themselves.
Examine the Combs,
It is the easiest thing in the wortd— when you know how 'tis ?one—to tell arhen vour fowls are in ill-health, even in the incipient stages of any disease or ailment if you examine your floek carefully. The "comb of each fowl is a true index to the workings of their systems. If they be in ill-health, the comb will lose color and will become far 1 em firm in texture, as the malady increases, the comb being of a livid dull crimson, or else pale or ashy in appearance. If the cholera or any disease should come into the flock, carefully examine the comb® of each bird, morning and night, and all Lhose 'which are wanting in that br rich color which denotes perfect health,

A Substitute for India Rubber From the Common Milkweed.
IK speaking of, the adulteration of rubber," continued Mr. Lamb, the inventor of the new water-repellent, the more I thought of this vast industry the more convinced I became that a substitute mi^ht be found among the trees or plants indigenous to America which could then supply the markets of the world. One plant suggested itself "to me repeatedly that was the common milkweed (of the genus Asclepias) which I firmly believe to be the india-rubber tree of North America, and the source of onr supply in the future.1'
How did you carry on your experiments?" I planted twelve acres in a farm oat West, and before I my experiments I that the plant would be to the West what the palm has been for the East. To begin with, I found that by such slight cultivation as a single top-dress-ing the plant grew td the height of six and seven feet and an inch and a half in diameter. I had a mistaken idea that the rubber lay in the sap or juice, and it was difficult tp convince myself at first that the gum was stored in the cells on the outside of the stalk, plainly to be seen through a magnifying glass, and as regular and even as the honeycomb of a beehive. When I discovered this natural laboratory it did not taka long to find a process to separate it from the plant. This done, with my ex-

in the gaseous treatment of
ydro-carbons, I succeeded in converting it into a substance, which is similar to rubber in appearance, of superior lightness and possessing the same qualities. I also found it could be vulcanized or hardened or, used in its pliable state for dental purposes it is the best thing I have seen." "What would be the cost of manufacturing this new rubber?" "The outside cost, including labor, etc., would make it twenty cents per pound, and the expense of importation saved. It needs little care, only one top dressing, and can be gathered at the owner's will. It would pay better in proportion to the time and labor consumed than any other farm product. One acre of land will yield three tons of milkweed or 300 pounds of gum. An interesting fact I noticed was the great similarity of the plant in fiber, leaf, etc., to the india-rubber tree proper." "How long have you been experimenting with the milkweed?"
Since 1865, and during that period I have discovered a use for every portion of it. As I said, in the course of my experiments I hit upon this water repellent, which I stopped to perfect, seeing its value and knowing that thousands of dollars had been spent by rubber firms in endeavors to procure an invisible,

In the course of tests I found that by gathering the pods before they opened I had two treasures—the seeds, from which can be extracteiLa lubricating oil finer than linseed,' and resides noting as a liniment, being an excellent cathartic while from the loss inside a material very much like Irish poplin could be woven. The experiment with the floss was tried in Europe during our civil war when a substitute for cotton was needed, but as the milkweed had to be exported and the war came to a close, the experiment did not end in practical results."
And what can be done with the refuse of the plant P" was asked, but hardly in earnest.
Why, use it for fuel it gives out exactly the same heat as wood, and makes a pleasant grate fire, while the root has long been utilized for medicinal purposes, "conoluded the inventor, who nas already taken out eight patents on this plant which henceforth demands more than common respect from the lovers of the useful.—N.

Matrimonial Missionaries.
PERSONS who have persuaded themselves that they have a mission are usually so laden with, so bent on, its fulfillment, as to interfere with the charm of their society. And their attractiveness is more or less diminished by the character of their mission, which, when in any way connected with the life or surroundings of their associates or acquaintances, is apt to be made tiresome. Matrimonial missionaries come witMn this category, and they are likely to oe unflagging in presentation of their views and the advantages of what they advooate. Naturally, most of them are women, and married women: for if they were not already wives, they would be restrained by aelicacy from expressing themselves warmly in favor of what they had not tried, lest it might be suspected that they were over-willing for the experiment. But being wives they can not be accused—unless they chance to have marriageable daughters or relatives—of interested. motives or studied designs. When their eulogies of wedlock can be referred to any personal cause, they are liable to be called, and not unjustly, match-makers, between whom and matrimonial missionaries there is so much difference that the two should never be confounded.
A match-maker may be said to be enlisted for a campaign a matrimonial missionary is in for the war and when the present war is over, for the next war, and the war after that. Her service, indeed, is for life. She will never cease to recommend marriage, generally and particularly, abstractly and concretely, In season and out of season. Her faith in the institution is unshaken and unshakable, whatever her outward observation or her received confidences may have been. She is an enthusiast on that point, and so interested in it as to be forever darting off from other topics to take np the one she loves.
It is the first duty and the last of every man and woman ut*ri i*d. There 4s not, there can not be, any valid excuse for celibacy—not poverty, nor disease, nor disinclination, nor bad habits, nor want of affection each or any of which is, in unbiased eyes, accounted an excellent reason. She knows better. Marriage is a panacea. If a young woman be an invalid, it will cure her.
it, experience win aisctose ms mistake. Does a young woman confess that she loves no one, has no such feelings as would warrant her in accepting a husband., she is told that this is alF foolish romance that when marriage comes, love follows, with happiness and all the rest.
The missionary is often fortunately wedded herself, which explains her tendency to misapprehension of marriages in general. Seeing the world through her own rosy spectacles, she can not believe that it does not reflect her happy state. You may mention any number of inharmonious alliances, of deep spiritual tragedies that have resulted from mis-mating, but she will not credit you. Xou have been misinformed, and if you assert your positive knowledge, your judgment has certainly been warped. She may concede that such a thing as connubial nnhappiness exists, but it is clearly the fault of the parties themselves. They need not have been unhappy unless they were so resolved. The kind of marriage she recommends —she actually recommends any and every kind—would not and could not have such consequences. The whole globe may be wrong, but the divine institution, as she likes to name it, is unquestionably right, and even a very ill marriage is better, she is sure, than no marriage at all.
Even when the missionary is not suoh a wife as she claims that nearly all women are, when she is notoriously unsuited to her husband, and he to her, she is not less persevering and ardent in her labors. She contends for wedlock and its joys, whatever her private sufferings in the cause she not only loses no opportunity to chant its praises she turns all times into opportunity, and is as loyal to the thing that tortures her as if it brought her unending ecstacy. Perhaps she has such faith in what should be that she refuses absolutely to put trust in what is.
There are persons who think her impelled by malice that, being wretched herself through matrimony, she would like to see others wretched by the same means. But they probably do her injustice. Her own sad experience does not mar her faith in, or her admiration for, wedlock. Having missed her destiny by some deficiency which may yet be made good, it would be a sovereign satisfaction to have her free friends enjoy what has by uncontrollable circumstance been denied to her. It is really benevolence which moves her connubial springs. She is more resigned to her domestic incompatibilities when she reflects that her tireless efforts have been expended in directing the mind of others in the path, as she conceives, of true felicity. Her personal disappointment Is softened by the thought that the many have realized their radiant dreams.
She is absolutely sincere in her conn* sels and endeavors, and nobody acquainted with her will question her energy and resolution. She would not, could she have her way, leave a maiden or bachelor on earth. She would have the whole world arranged in conjugal pairs. She would admit no single people to her paradise indeed, it would be vain, for, without marriage, there could be no paradise. Her confidence in unions under all circumstances may bo beautiful but her manner of expressing it is so ceaseless and frequently so inappropriate that she bores her acquaintances exceedingly. Even marriage may be worn threadbare as a theme the interest of the subject, like the interest of the thing, may be exhausted.
It is more than embarrassing for single persons to be everlastingly urged to ao what they have proved by their life they are opposed to doing. Despite then general respect for the missionary, they grow to hate her eternal solo on one string. There are here, and in every city, hundreds of estimable women whose society is made wearisome, though it might be delightful, by the perpetual parading of their hobby. If they but knew it, they frustrate their cherished purpose. Nothing is so likely to hinder marriage as to advise and advocate it. Wedlock goes, in a certain sense, by contraries. The missionaries err constitutionally. They have made many adversaries, but few converts. If they would senre hymen effectually, let them disavow We deity.—N. Y. Time*.
Sick in a Shoe.
ONE of the attaches of the National Theater, on Market Street, was lately stricken with rheumatism in its worst form. He was not able to move or to be moved. His friends connected with the establishment thought that he could be better cared for at the theater than at his boarding house, and that he would thus also be enabled to enjoy their society and that they could devote more time to his comfort. So the property room was transformed into a sick chamber. Among the properties was a large shoe, ten or twelve feet in length, made of wicker work and covered with canvass, which had been used in a fairy pantomime. In this shoe the aick man's couch was made, and there he lbs to-day, surrounded by friends, who do every thing that is possible to allay his sufferings, and by all the glittering paraphernalia of ihe stage. There is a fair prospect of his speedy recovery. —Hartford (Ocmn Times.

A resort was had to skin-grafting,, and over 2,000 bits of cuticle, from the boy's mother, the family coachman, and several accommodating neighbors, have been used. Tie result is completely successful.
