New York, Nov. 10. —The Aurania, which arrived yesterday, had as a passenger Nomura, Postmaster-general of Japan. He was found talking with the Director-general of the postoffices in Japan, and who talked English fluently. The latter is a brother of the Japanese consul in this city. He was educated in this country, where he passed seven years. To a reporter, he said: “In company with Mr. Nomura, I have traveled ail over Europe in search of information which will benefit the postal service of Japan. In no country in the world have I found anything to equal the efficiency and reliability of the mail service in the United States, from which method our system in Japan has been copied. In Yokohama we have the carrier service, as in New York, and in addition have added a savings bank to all postoffices there. The latter scheme has worked remarkably well, and tbe people are much pleased with it. At the universal postal union held at Lisbon, in February last, we found that the ideas of the European countries were so crude and the operation of the mail system so ponderous, and in many instances uncertain, that wo adopted the plan used in the United. States, with gratifying success.”

Jo© Haworth, the well-known young Cleveland actor, who. as the leadiug man in the Moral Crime Combination, has just closed an engagement here, tells an interesting story of McCullough’s last performance in pub’ic. a story which is doubly interesting in view of the receDt death of the great actor. For a long time signs of the breaking down wore noticeable, and on the night iu question, when playing in Chicago, it was seen by the members of the company that the “Governor.” as he was familiarly called by them, could not hold out much longer. The play that night was the “Gladiator,’-' with McCullough as Spartacus and Haworth as Pharsarius. “When we met in the arena scene,” said Mr. Haworth, in telling the story, “he seemed to forget his lines and become confused. It pained everybody to seo him. Placing both hanus upon my shoulders, his whole frame seemed to tremble with excitement as he asked, ’What’s next#’ I gave him the cue and he finished. The audience applauded, notwithstanding the fact that they must have noticed that something was wrong with him. We went out at once in response to the call of the audience and they called us the second time. “ They are receiving us splendidly to-night, aren’t they? come on, my boy, they are cailiug us again,’ he said as he reached out his hand to take mine, ‘and go out with me.’ Mind you, this was only the second call, and we usually received five or six at the close of that scene: but he seemed to think that the audience was more appreciative than usual. The next time he seemed to forget himself was in the scene where l as Pharsarius described the crucifixion of our men. While I was in the midst of my lines he gave waj and suddenly exclaimed, ‘Those are not your lines.’ I held him up with one arm and went on with the speech as though nothing, had happened. The applause was deafening. It was evident that tne audience realized that something was wrong with him, for they showed all the evening their sympathy with him, and applauded because they thought I was doing ail I could to help him in making the performance a success. The last act came, and I cannot forget how real the words of the hoy attending him sounded when he said: “General, you had best go to your tent; you are unfit for battle.” “He had been ’unfit’ for a long time, but night after night he persisted ,in playing and thus tried to shake off the mental that weighed him down. When the curtain went down the audience remained seated and loudly called for the ‘Governor.’ He went before the curtain and said: “ ‘Ladies and gentlemen, if you had suffered as I have to-night you would not have done this. Good-night.’ “Those were the last words he ever uttered before a public audience. None of the company had gone to their dressing rooms. They stood round to witness the closing scenes, and in every eye a tear glistened. “The next morning we were all paid and the company disbanded, but we received word that the ‘Governor’ wanted a rehearsal. Knowing his condition, and just to humor him in the hope that it would do him good, we all responded. We through with the ‘Gladiator.’ “ ‘We didn’t do very well last night, my boy,’ he said to me, ‘but we’ll knock ’em out to-night.’ “He wasn’t very choice in his diction at times, as you may imagine, but those were the words he used. What a rehearsal that was. As perfectly as he ever did in his life he rendered every line. For a time we all had hone that his difficulty was but temporary. We thought that after a short rest he would be himself again and the company be reunited. Into every word he seemed to put a meaning that we had never realized before. When he said to me in committing to my charge his wife and child, ‘Pharsarius, I give thee more than my life; guard them well,’ it was with genuine sorrow that Mrs. Foster, who took the part of wife to Spartacus, replied, ‘Husband, husband, do not send me away; if I leave you now it will he forever.’ She could hardly finish the line because of her feelings. I could not avoid experiencing the same sorrow, and as I turned to look another way I saw that the prompter, as well as Harry Langdon and others in the company were brushing tears from t'neir eyes, and the little boy we had with us for child parts broke out in a genuine cry. McCullough did not seem to realize it all. He acted as though he thought it a part of the emotion to be shown in the play. “When the scene came where Spartacus dies it was the most realistic performance I ever saw. His eye lighted up as he said, ‘We shall see Thrace again,’ and then as he said ‘There are green valleys in Thrace,’ it was in such a tone of sadness that it set the minds of all who heard him wandering from the scene before them. Then his head dropped upon his breast, and it seemed as if he had passed away from us in reality. “He was so nleased with the rehearsal that he wanted to take up‘Richelieu.’ Well, we went through that play in the same perfect manner that wo exhibited in the ‘Gladiator.’ There wasn’t a break anywhere. He delivered the curse magnificently, and while some of the company could not keep back the tears of sympathy they felt for the ‘Governor,’ others were applauding him. The applause seemed to revive him, and he acted even better than he had been doing. We could see a gleam of his old self, a flash of the genius he possessed. Barradas recited: “ ‘His mind and life are breaking fast.’ “The ‘Governor’ turned to denounce him, and as he did so seemed to realize the full import of the words. He broke completely down, and was then taken to the hotel in a carriage. That was the last we saw of him. It was the saddest day I ever passed, for there was no one in the company who did not feel the burden that oppressed ns. There was never an actor more thoroughly loved by his company than was John McCullough. Odd Old Mr. Ordway. Rutland fVt.) Herald. David Ordway, whorecentlv died in Cavandish, was an odd old character. He and his ancesters ran an ancient gristmill on the “Twenty-mile Stream.” David had a costly coffin made and fitted to himself years before his death, and kept it in his front parlor to cheer his guests. He paid a Universalist minister SIOO to havo his funeral sermon preached some years ago, and was borne with dirges dire in sad array down ine aisle of the church, laid out in his coffin. It was the sensation of the year where he lived. One of his mill-stones now forms the base of a simple monument that tells in quaint, illiterate phrase that “tho I am dead yetspeaketh, for here is rest upon this millstone top I set this noble block to let the world no what I have done.” One of the things he did was to fix upon a certain day when he was to harvest a big piece of grain. When the day came he saw that the Almighty was going to hinder his plans with rain, and, seizing a firebrand, he rushed into the field and burned up his harvest.

Death of William N. Carpenter. Detroit, Mich., Nov. 10.—This afternoon William N. Carpenter, vice president of the Peninsular Stove Company, was driving a young and spirited horse down Fifth street, when the animal shied violently, overturning the buggy and throwing the occupant several feet. He struck on his head, crushing in tho skull from forehead to crown, and lived but a short time after the accident. Mr. Carpenter was about seventy years old. and has resided here for tho past fity years. He leaves a widow and two sons. An Apostle Excommunicated. Salt Lake City, U. TANARUS., Nov. 10.—Ten of the twelve Mormon apostles signed a notice in this evening’s Deseret News, the organ of the Mormon Church, stating that Albert Carrington, one of the twelve apostles, after a full and patient trial by the authorities of the church, has been excommunicated for adultery and lascivious conduct. No particulars are given. Starvation iu the North. Quebec, Nov. 10.—A letter received from Point aux Esquimaux, on the Gulf of St. Lawrence. tells a harrowing tale of misery and starvation at that place. Some sixty families there have no food, and will surely die of starvation unless aid is forthcoming. Some twenty five men left the place to obtain work in the woods at Bersimis, but say the lumbermen would not employ them. The Mijfhty ’Fluence of the Cow. Terr# Haute Express. The Indianapolis Journal has began war on the wandering city cow. Os course, the Journal is unaware that when it takes up a cudgel to drive the cow off the streets, it at the same time

attacks a 'flaence that is mighty, has always prevailed, and will continue to prevail against the city father who interferes with the cow of tbe poor man. In fact, the “poor man’s cow” has been a most universally-used club to keep the well-to-do man's cow from being driven from they nice grassy plats of a city's streets. The “piter man’s cow” delusion will some day be brushed aside, and a cow ordinance, such as we have i® Terre Haute, for instance, will be enforced. Tho Care of Horses. Chicago Tribune. If those having the care of horses would study into the ouestion of care and management it would conduce to the well-being of the animals and the profit of the owner. For instance, it’ hag been stated, and widely copied in journals without comment, that to give a horse style and grace he should be fed from colthood up in a manger so high as to cause some exertion to reach the food. Nothing could be wider of the mrk aimed at If an animal has not the physical conformation to give style he can never be made to assume a high head without impairing valuable points elsewhere. In fact, if a high head could be given by feeding from a high manager, this would correspond'inclv depress the spinal column behind the shoulders. Improved action and style are the result of careful training, and can only be developed measurably in any animal. In other words, you cannot even measurably change the conformation of an animal without in the same measure change the center of gravity. Hence stumbling and other disabilities. The horse naturally chooses to stand with the fore feet somewhat higher than the hind feet. For the farm horse, especially, the feed-box should be rather low than high, and the manger, and not m rack to be reached up to, should hold the hay. The horse that works all day requires rest at night. The owner who * gives the best food, grooming, and bedding to the animals under his care gets the most labor out of them for his money. The food and drink should especially bo clean and of the best. Not long since an item went the rounds thal dusty or musty hay was as good as the bsst, ii moistened with slighted salted water. The medication does not in the slightest alter the bad qualities of the hay. The result of such feeding is wind-broken, hcavev horses. Musty hay is not even fit for decent stock cattle. In winter nothihg about a stable is more economical than good blankets, to be worn in the stable and to be carried with tho team wherever driven, with which they may be covered when standing. Letting down the check rein when going up-hill and easing the rein when the horses are at rest should naturally be suggested to the driver. Yet, how many are instructed to do so? It is attention to little things that brings profit, and in no respect in farm economy are many owners mare derelict than in the care of teams of horses and mules.

General McClellan’s Christian Name. Raleigh News and Observer. The hooks give General McClellan’s Christian name as George Brinton. It is the general impression, however, in Raleigh, that it was George Badger— the really great federal general having been named after tho late Hon. George Eh Badger, of North Carolina, who was a friend of his father, a distinguished physician and surgeon of Philadelphia. On one occasion, It is remembered by the older residents of the city, Dr. McClellan visited Mr. Badger here in Raleigh aud remained with him some time. One of Mr. Badger’s sons had suffered a fracture of the leg, which was skillfully enough reduced by the resident surgeons, but which Mr. Badger made serve the purpose of petting his Philadelphia friend under his roof, alleging an anxiety that the reduction should he supervised by a surgeon of his eminence. Dr. McClellan came at the solicitation, evincing thus high regard, for a journey from Philadelphia to Raleigh iu those days was not the easy jauut it is now. In view of the friendship existing between the great lawyer and the celebrated surgeon, then, and of the fact that it is the impression in the present Badger family that the General’s name was George Badger, it is not unreasonable to suppose that the books are wrong in making it George Brinton. A Shoe for Luck. Lyons Press. A friend tells us the following very “striking” incident, which he vouches for as having occurred at a wedding not very far from Lyons & short time since. There were but few guests present., and after the ceremony a sumptous supper was served. Half an hour later the company stepped out upon the porch to see the bridal couple, who were about to start for the station upon their wedding tour, off. Just as they started the father of the bride threw an old shoe after them “for luck.” Although the shoe was old it was heavy, and the old gentleman threw it with all the might there was in him, and it didn’t stop going until it landed under the ear of the “happy” bridegroom and knocked him out of tho carriage. He was picked up and carried into the house, where he lay in an insensible condition for ten or fifteen minutes. In the meantime the bride fainted away, and several of the lady guests would have done so had there been any one on hand to attend to them.

A Queer Mistake. Pittsburg Chronicle “That was a queer mistake a servant made in Philadelphia the other day,” said Mrs. DeWiggS to her husband. “What mistake?” “A lady sent her servant for a copy of the song ‘He Cometh Not, She Said,’ and the girl went and asked for ‘He Combeth Not His Head.’ I wonder what sort of a song she imagined it was. ’’ “She probably thought it was about a baldheaded man.” A Cat Diseased with Smallpox.

Shakspeare tells how this can be accomplished in one of his immortal plays; but debts to nature must be paid on demand, unless days of grace be obtained through the use of Dr. Pierce’a “Golden Medical Discovery.” It is not a “cure all,” but invaluable for sore throat, bronchitis, asthma, catarrh, consumption, and all diseases of the pulmonary and other organs, caused by scrofula or “bad blood.” Scrofulous ulcers, swellings and tumors are cured by its wonderful alterative action.
