THE POSTAL SERVICE.

A Review of Its Slow But Progressive Growth. The American postal system has been of such growth that the successive phases of its development have not impressed themselves deeply on public attention. A succinct and able article by John M. Bishop, in the Magaaineof American History,recounts the history of this growth, leaving the reader astounded by the extent, precision, thoroughness and prbgressive changes of the service. In 1677 the Court of Boston appointed John Hayward to carry and deliver letters. In 1710 Parliament, established a Post Office for the Colonies—New York being the chief office. The rates for sixty miles’ carriages were; for single letters, 4d, for double, Bd, and for one ounce, lsjd. In 1T53 Benjamin Franklin was appointed Deputy Postmaster •eneral for the Colonies. He originated the first fast mail, consisting of a line of stage-coaches from Philadelphia to Boston, to run every week. They were the wonder of the age. The postal rates at the close of the last century were 6c for less than thirty miles; 8c for under sixty; 10c for less than 100; and so on up to 20c for 300 miles, and 2ia for a carriage of over 450 miles. A single sheet of paper constituted a lettet, two sheets two letters', three sheets three letters. They wer e invariably folded without envelopes. A sheet, owing to this cojmt, was generaaliy written in the finest penmanship, and not seldom the written page was written across, so that each single sheet had eight pages of writing. Newspapers were charged lc for 100 miles. Postage-stamps were introduced in 1847, before which time all letters were paid for in cash, either at the office of mailing or that of delivery. One hundred and sixty Borts of stamps have been issued since 1847. Tn 1798 the whole Postal Department at Washington was conducted by the Postmaster General and Assistant and one clerk. The first locomotive used by the mail service was on the Delaware and Hudson Canal Company’s road in Pennsylvania in 1829. The South Carolina Railroad Company followed soon after. But as a regular carrier of the mai} the railroad did not become a factor till 1835, when the read from Washington to Baltimore was opened. But so short were the|lines of road,and so disconnected. that it remained for a long time % problem whether the stage coach was »ot more serviceable. The speed obtained was inferior, and the delays very vexatious. But these troubles were steadi'y overcome as lines of road became consolidated. In 1851 occurred the famous reduction of postage to 3c for all distances less than 3000 miles. Mail agents were appointed as early as 1840; but this branch of the system grew into form very slowly. In 1862, however, began the absolute revolution of our whole system of mail service. It was the de.vice and wit of a Missouri clerk in the office at St. Joseph—Wm. 11. Davis. He devised and was allowed to operate the first post office car ever used. . The slow and tedious distribution and forwarding of letters from general offices now ceased. The work was done on the car, arnl letters flew across the continent like shuttles. No branch of public service ever before existed which demanded such a combination of general information- with minute knowledge. The clerk in charge of a car must know not only all the offices on his route, but all the offices in the United States in his division, and he must know the shortest routes to the same. The remarkable growth and success of the postal servioe is startling, as beiDg an example of the power of the State in competition with individual enterprise.

Curious. Chinese Advertisements. The North China Herald gives one or two very curious specimens of the advertisements which appear in the Chinese papers. One is from a mother to her son, who has run away from home,, and it is worded as follows: “Take care that you are not struck by lightning. Your mother weeps bitterly for you as she pens these lines in order that they may be read by her son. When you ran away from home on the 30th of the eighth moon the people of the shop came and asked us what had become of you. It was thus that we learned of your flight. I nearly died of fright, and since then my food and sleep have benefitted me but little. I am still crying and moaning. I have received your letter which has come from behind the horizon, but it does not tell me where I can find you. lam now almost at the last extremity, and opr family has had to pUt up with cruel insults from strangers. If you do not return I can stand all this no longer and shall assuredly put an end to my existence, in which case you would be in danger of being struck down by lightning. If you return, no matter in what wav,all will be arranged. I have even invented a plan by which your father will know nothing' about your escapade. My life or death is a question of only a few more days. I entreat all well persons lo spread abroad the advertisement, so that it may,be read by all waomit mav concern. They will thus earn a profusion of hidden merit. Written by a woman of Sop-cho. Take care that you i are not Btruck down by lightning!;’ A second advertisement is from a husband

whose wife had run away with a man whom*Bhe had met in a tea house. The advertisement sets out at great length the circumstances attending this elopement, and offers a reward of s2fl to any one giving him information as to her whereabouts: Indian Progress. A correspondent of the Springfield Republican writes: “During tho two days which I spent at Pine Ridge Agency I talked much with the Rev. Mr. Robinson, the Episcopal missionary, regarding the present and future welfare of the Indians upon the reserve. His opinions are entitled to consideration, certainly, for he has been sixteen years engaged in missionary work among these Indians. Mr. Robinson told me that ptobably five-eighths of the 6,000 Indians living on the Pica Ridge Reserve are to-day ready to take land in severalty. Under Dr. McGillicuddy’s management the whole condition of the people has largely changed during the past five or six years.'’ The great camp of idle wild people who formerly clustered about the agency has been broken up, and the Indians who composed it have moved out in every direction over the wide stretch of country which is comprised in the reserve. They have made their locations upon the arable land which skirts the stream where timber and water are accessible. What they now need is permanent possession of the land which thev have already chosen as their homes in sufficient quantities of grazingknd farming land to insure support to each individual. They need „ precisely what Senator Dawes’ land in severalty bill will give them when its provisions are applied to this reservation. I learned upon very excellent authority that Dr. Bland had tried to raise from the Indians at Pine Ridge and Rosebud the sum of $2,000 to enable him to defend their rights and to look after their interests.”

An American Aristocrat. Washington letter. “Whoa! Glang!” was the curious formula which I heard another farmer use one day this week. He was driving a pair of Norman-Percheron mules to a wagon loaded with brick, and as he shouted to them he whacked them rhythmically with a broken lath upon the after deck. Him I knew by sight. Washington is pretty well acquainted with His contour. It was Lord Fairfax, so he is playfully called by his acquaintances, and there is a good deal of curiosity expressed about him. The fact is that he is an aborted lord. He is a direct descendant in the oldest son line of that distinguished led, Thomas Fairfax, who did so much to assist the settlement of Virginia—the Lord Fairfax who gave Washington his first commission, who established the grand manor of Greenway Court in the Shenandoah valley, who remained true to his king through all, and who, when he heard that G. W. had captured Lord Cornwallis, remarked: “Sam, put me to bed; it is high time I should die”—and immediately 'died. G -eenway Court perished long ago, hut the Fairfax family has retained much land in the vicinity of Fairfax Court House, and they still remain strongly attached to the soil; like them of the collateral line, the Fairfaxes of England. This man of the mule team is interesting, because he.hasonly to go to England, prove title, take the ironclad oath, and be reconstructed, to sit in the House of Lords.

Senator Sherman's Daughter. rmiaaeipma news. There is a paragraph going the rounds that Senater John Sherman’s one child is a daughter named Mary, who last year for the first time entered society in Washington. Mr. and Mrs. Sherman have np children of their own and never had. The circumstances of the adoption many years ago of this young gin were somewhat remarkable. The Senator and his wife one day were visting an orphan asylum, when this little child, then almost , an infant, seemed to take a great fancy to the Senator, and would hardly consent to have him go away. This touched a man who is naturally stern and cold in his manner.

The result was a sudden resolve to adopt her, and the Senator and his wife took the child home with them, where she has ever since been treated as their own daughter. v Man the Yards.

HEROIC MISSIONARIES.

A Grand Work Accomplished by Them in the Dark Continent. The flippant paragraph is hardly the place nor is its usual style the proper one in which to mention the killing and eating of another missionary in Central Africa. The brave and sincere men who are carrying Christianity into the heart oi the dark continent are engaged in no humorous occupation, and the fate of such of them as fall victims to the savagery of native monarchs and people is too solemn for jest. Middle-aged men not many years away from their schoolbooks can remember the time when, except for a fringe of settlements along the coasts, the great continent of Africa as it appeared on the maps was unmarked by river, mountain, lake or town. The school maps were not more blank in this respect than was human knowledge generally, and though Livingstone gave to the world some ideas of the mysteries of that unknown region, it has been only a few years Since it was known that from sea to sea Africa embraces hundreds of millions of human beings the majority of whom have no conception of civilization, and no religion save that of fetichism. The efforts of a few nations to open up commerce with these tribes have attracted wide attention, as is natural enough, whereas the more zealou sand daring attempts of many missionaries to carry Christianity to them have been almost unnoticed.

r -The commercial instinct is strong in these days, but it is to be said to the honor of the churches that it has not yet carried men to death, as zeal for the salvation of souls has done. Beset by dangers from ferocious beasts and scarcely less ferocious men, in a country untrodden as yet by the foot of a white man, where disease and death lurk on every hand, there are no substantial barriers to Christian unity in that region. The missionaries work together so far as is possible, and in the presence of coiamon perils readily agree upon a common creed, non-essentials being wonderfully narrowed down by the magnitude of the work and the risk of prosecuting it. The forerunners of commerce are beaten back occasionally, and for long periods of time are inactive, but not so with the bearers of the Gospel message. lessors press on as before. “Teil the King,” said Bishop Hannington, as he lay dying of many spear thrusts, “that I have puichased life for him and his people.” There is no humor in such a scene as this. The missionaries who are waging this unequal warfare believe what they teach, and by comparison with the cautious movements of the emissaries of trade their heroism stands out luminous and beautiful in an age grown sordid and skeptical.

France's Wonderfut New Rifle. New York Evening Post. The Lebel rifle, the new arm with which the French infantry will be supplied before next spring, is, according to all accounts, a wonder, and several models of the gun which have been received here have excited great interest. The new rifle is known bv the name of its inventor, Lebel, and is smah ler and lighter than the rifles now in use; the French Soldiers call it the “little gun.” The most authentic descriptions given to the gun agree in attributing to it a carrying power beyond that of any rifle heretofore in use. The models received in New York are not known to be accurate copies of the Lebel gun, ar d experiments with them are impossible, owing to the fact that the powder used is a secret compound of which the French Govenment has the monopoly. According to all accounts the Lebel gun will carry its bullet more than a mile and a half, and with a more certain aim than has been possible with ordinary rifles. The bore of the gun is very small, and the ball which is of steel and sharply pointed at one end is said to revolve at a speed of a thousand revolutions a second. In the test made by the French Government this bullet has penetrated a brick wall eight inches thick at a distance of 500 yards; it will go through any kind of armor which can be worn by soldiers, and at a distance of more than a mile will pass through a man as easy as at ten paces. The gun has no recoil underfire, and the powder gives out no smoke whatever. It has been said that the powder used must be a type of smokeless hunting powder already in the market; but this is denied by the inventor, who says that he uses an entirely new'cornpound. The Lebel gun, is of course, a repeater, and the cartridges are so small that each soldier carries 220 rounds of amunition, as against 116 formerly considered the maximum. The French Government is now making these guns at the rate of *OO a day at Saint Etienne, and is now preparing to turn out double that number. Four factories, those at Chatellerault, Tulle and .Saint Etienne will soon be at work upon them. - * --

How to Manage a Fire.

Fire requires air; therefore, on its appearance every effort should be made to exclude air; shut all doors and windows. By this means fire may be confined to a sir.gle room for ,a sufficient period to enable all the inmates to be aroused and eecaoe; but if the doors and windows are thrown open, the fanning of the wind and the draught will instantly cause the flames to increase with great rapidity. It must never be forgotten that the" most precious moments are at the commencement of a fire, and not a single second o|time •should be lost in tackling it. In a room a tablet loth can be so used as to smother a large sheet of flame, and a cushion may serve to beat it out; a coat or anything similar may be used with an equally successful result. The great point is presence of mind, calmness in danger, action guided by reason and thought. In all large houses buckets of water should he. placed on every landing, a little salt being put into the water. Always endeavor to attack the bed of a fire; if you cannot extinguish a fire, shut the window, and be sure to shut ibe door when making good your retreat. A wet silk handkerchief tied over the eyes and nose will make breathing possible in the midst of much smoke, and a blanket wetted and wrapped round the body will enable a person to pass through a sheet of flame in comparative safety. Should a lady’s dress catch fire,.let the wearer at once lie down; rolling may extinguish the fire, but if not, anything, "wboTeu preferred, wrapped tightly round will effect thedeaired purpose.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

Salt 1 in water may be used with good effect in the cleansing of willpw ware. Yon can take oQt spots from wash goods by rubbing them with the yelk of eggs before washing, A strong solution of soda, if applied to steel knives or kitchen utensils, will prevent tbeir rusting. The luster of morocco may be restored by varnishing it with the white of an egg. Apply with a sponge. To clean nickel on stoves use wet soda in ammonia. Apply with an old tooth brash an# rub with a woolen cloth. The most effectual remedy for slimy and greasy drain pipes is copperas dissolved . and left to work gradually through the pipe. A small piece of salt pork cooked with string beans adds to the flavor and richness of the dish. If, when bread is taken from the oven butter rubbed over the hot surface, the loaf will remain moist and be less liable to mold.
