This was the beginning. Tha domain was a magninoent one and the statesmen of that day thought if they over took the trouble to think about the matter at all that it was enough for all time.

chase wo gained 70,000 square miles of new territory, and secured a continuous line of seaooast from Maine to the Sabine river. Texas was annexed in 1845, under the Polk Administration, giving us an additional 270,000 sqwars miles. Out of this annexation grew the Mexican war, under the same Administration, in 1847, which ended ia the conquest of the territory now embraced in part of Arixona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, ami small arts of Kntisas and Wyoming, and having an area of 696.000 jquare miles. Under the Administration of Mr. Fierce, in 1868, we negotiated the "Gmlsdcn purchase," -as it was called, by which we acquired an additional 45,. W0 square miles, now included in Arixoaa. The next and, last acquisition was that of Alalka, under the Andrew Johnson Administration, la 1868. This added a territory of 675,000 square miles urea to the country, ami extended its northern limit up within the Arctic etrole. We paid for it 7,400,000.

for the serious falling off in postal buei
nose, as indicated by reduced salaries earned by the new' postmasters. A postmaster now at the end of the quarter claims only 86 or $6 as the amount due him on the business of his ofice for Um throe months. The books show that his predecessor was in the habit of making $70 or 880 every quarter. The inspector investigates and finds that there has been no apparent falling off in business. Tho ofttuo is not boycotted; fully as many people patronize it as formerly, and they send as much mail matter as they had been accustomed to send. The explanation is that while the Republican postmaster had only done 86 or 88 worth of business he represented that .he had done ten time as much and elttimed accord
ingly. The department ha) practically had to take tho word of the post-
master; at least, it has generally none so. The marked difference between the lance charges made by the post-
maetors of the old regime and the' small charges made by their Demo-i
cratic successors, who did not know how to steal suggested to the Democratic Administration that there appeared to lie something wrong, and that an investigation was needed. The investigation has proved that the Republican postmaaters have been charging away out of all proportion to the business done. Tlte charge lias been brought home to a large number of them, and so thoroughly that generally the "delinquent returned to the Government what he had wrongfully drawn in years past, and whenever the delinquent official has failed to settle the bondsman has generally come to the front with alacrity. In this way the present Administration has already recovered about half a million dollars
from Republican fourth-class postmasters who had been in the habit of drawing for a bigger Usiness than they really transacted." H'asMasrto

ef "Ho Ofc4Ya." Of all diseases none produces so great mortality as this so-called hog cholera. The name ia applied to the disease simply because it is a malignant epidemic, destroying s Uie cholera destroyed in its Rr&t and second visits to Uie United States, and not because Um symptoms in any way resemble Asiatic cholera. Xow-a-days if his pork-ship yield up the "grunt" by any malady, be H worms, apoplexy, qttinsy, scours, trichinosis or mange, it is at once pronounced a genuine ease of cholera, and the cure-all doctor bobs up simultaneously with his many quack nostrum. It is not our intention in this article
to disgnoee the case or give a remedy, for the same, hut te offer a few thoughts for the reader's reflection. The cause has been attributed to filth, te exclusive corn diet, worms and close inbreeding. It has long been noticeable that as the texture and fiber are refined so is susceptibility to disease and parasites increased. , This is true in the vegetable, as in the animal kingdom. Care in management mnst kaeppaoe with this continued refinement. If it is not, either disease and death must ensue or there must be a retrograde movement in quality. Put into careless hands a fine herd of thoroughbred animals, if they are
and managed as scrub farmers no semb stock they will either perish or show a retrograde movement It is therefore necessary that improved and refined breeds have, advanced, and
more careful treatment It is very likely that in-breeding may superinduce lack of vitality, and this, ia part m one of the troubles with onr swine. Whether wa believe that an 'exclusive diet" causes cholera er not does Met figure, bat ws do believe that there is by far too much exclusive corn diet aad net tufiloient of nitrogenous food mixed with the ration to give the required vitality aad healthful ness. : The. filth theory has been exploded

wbole nature, for body aod soul, for abyeical rest fo" mental aad social isaprevemeet, for his spiritual and moral growth sad for M eternal MllraUon; and a rsttgione observance of the Sabbath is beet fitted to protnote ail these.

What He waa doing wee to set aside the miserable additions to that law wMohJewh scribes bad made. They had added assay thisgs to the laws of Moses, that the law became a harden whioh neither they nor their fathers could bear. Their thu Magnified the letter or the law, white at the seme than they overlooked He spirit. White they looked at the mere outward performance ef ceremonies, they forgot that God looks upon the heart and judges mea by that So far had they wandered from thetrutc, that thong they found fault wHh Jesus for healing a man on the Sebbath, they themselves went out ad on that inme Sabbath planned how they might kill Jesae. We mnst never forget that Jesus came not to destroy the law, but to fulfill it. The fourth commandment is as much a law ef God today as It was when God gave K te Israel from Mount Sinai. How ought the Sabbath te he kept today ! It ought to be kept as a day of rest All ordinary week-day work saght to eeaee.

God's good, bat for man's good. Xsn oaa do wore aad better work ia six days with see day of rest, than he csn in seven days
