Coarse, black Straw lliats, wide enough to
shade the face well, are worn everywhere,
turned up at the side'with plumes. Toilets
are admired in which the undershirt of the
costume and the umbrella areof the same
-color.-. Thus, an ecru linen overdres's is worn
with a bright-deep blue silk skirt, and large
parasol of the some shade. Lisle and lace
gloves and mitts are worn as never before.
Kid gloves are discarded except for dress oc-
casions, when the pale pearl gray undressed
Swedish gauuts,o: the cream color in glacc or
finished kid, are preferred with all sorts of .
toilets. The coloredlinen suits with borders
.of embroidery in colors to match are later
luodels than’ the gay plaid ginghams and buff
batistes. The toilet, however simple, should
correspond in all its parts—hat, sash and um
brella. With black or white suits alone,
bright contrasts are allowed. Sets Of rose-
colored and white shell ornaments are delicate
for wear with light or black dresses. The

pretty- Black silk is laid by till cool weath-

interesting statements have just been issued
by the postmaster general, showing in tabu-
lated form the operations of the department
from 'J uly 1,‘1867,to J uue 30,1875, inclusive.
The increase in the general work of the post.
office is indeed surprising, it being in many of
the items four, five and six nundred per cent.
'ore last year than it was in 1868.
, The number of mail letters delivered dur-
lug-the year eudingdune 30, 1875, was 179,-
083, 468, the percentage of increase for seven
years being 177.9 The number of local letters
delivered in the same year was 48,939,237,
1110- montage of increase being 240. It
will hus be, seen that the total delivery in
theyear named - was nearly 228,000,000 of
letters, or-ahout three times as many as Were
delivered in the first year of the series. Of
mail and local. postal cards there were deliv—
eredth’e last year 34,339,777, being an in-
crease of 77 per cent. on the preceding year.
Of neWspapers there were delivered 68,454,-
! .476, being. an increase of 104 per Cent. in
' seven years.
- letters forwarded was 25,135,381, being a
' crease of more than 8 per cent. from last year,

. .' enrs. The total number of money orders
flashed was 5,702,573, or an increase of 585
per cent. in seven years. .
'3- From these figures it follows that the total
number of pieces of mail matter which
actually passed through our post offices during
.the year ended June 30, 1875, was 361,555,112,
01- mearly 1,000,000 per diem. This enormous
distribution took place from 35,547 postofiiccs
and was effected partly by postmaster-S, post-
mistresses and clerks, and partly by 2,195
letter-carriers, though free delivery has as yet
been established in only eighty-seven of the
principal cities of the Union.
Thetotal ordinary postal revenue was $26,-
671, 218, being an increase of 63 per cent. in
seven year; as the expenses of the depart-
. meat, however, were $33,611,309, the treas-
3 my department had to make up the deficiency
hya grant of $6,704, 646.
The department operates over 276,873 miles
. of mail route in the United States, of which
70,083 is railroad. The compensation paid to

Andyet there are; people who saythe gov-

nrsrs.+ interesting'strife between Catho
lies and l ethodists has broken out in West-
field. A revival is in progress at the Metho-
dist-church, and a Catholic girl employed in
a‘Methodist family has been induced to at-
tend the meetings and go forward for prayers.
Her; parents, who resided in the same town,
learned What was going on and attended one
of the meetings in great excitement. At the
clOse the girl started to leave the church
under an escort of the members, but was
met by her parents, who endeavored to force
her home with them. In the consequent
rumpus the mother fainted, and while her
friends were caring for her, the girl escaped.
The hext . day legal measures were‘ taken,
under which the girl was restored to her
parents, and a grand fracas resulted. The
_ girl persists in her new faith and says she
ive and die a Methodist. She says she
shallibe of age ina month g‘ two, but her
parents say she puts her age a year too
high! Both the Catholic and Methodist
pe'ople, are wrought up to a high pitch of ex-

’ ‘ Mr. P. T. Quinn tells the following story
in his "Rural Topics," in Scmnxsn for
July : '
A few years see, a gentleman living in the
suberbs of New .ork, anxious to have large
pear-trees that would bear fruit soon, con:
tracted‘with a tree agent for some Bartletts,
the priceof which Was fixed at $10 apiece.
The trees came; in due time and was set out.
In twaears from the time of planting, they
bore a small round russet pear, that hung on
the trees until late in October. About this
time, the'very Same agent made his appear-
ance, and, being reminded of the contract to
furnish Bartletts, he asked to be allowed to
exhinine the trees and fruit, the latter still
hanging on the trees. He examined both
iidtim, said with a stern expression, “ Well,
air; when I sold you those trees, I supposed
you to be a well-read, intelligent man ; but
now Ijam of a different opinion." This very
singular remark brought forth the query,
“Why? " from the owner. “Why! ” was
the response from the agent, “to think of a
man of culture at this day and age, who does
not know the fact, that a Bartlett tree never
bears Bartlett pears the first year.” The
gentleman admitted his: ignorance, and the
peddler left, master of the situation. Some
weeksafter, the victim made inquiry of a
neighbor to know if he was aware of this
strange phenomenon in horticulture. Since
then, this tree agent has not made his appear-
ance in this section of the country.

The Connecticut National Guard will be

he continues to publish insinuations like this:
“We attended a ‘militia this match’ once,
down in Connecticut where the, competitors
were “to, use the arm of their respective
regiments and battalions." Well the captain
of‘the firing squad—composed of the best
marksmen—did us the honor to nominate us
to the “market’s” position. We‘ accepted
with pleasure, and took position—fifty feet
to the left of the line of targets. The first
shot that came caused us to retire fifty feet
further. The next brought us back thirty
feet. The third lifted us over an adjoining
stone wall, and by the time the tenth bullet
came we started for the. road. We intended
to'retire in good order, but we had not gone
ten rods before we knew that dignity was out
of place. The twentieth shot decided the
matter, and we laid down to it in good carn-
est, and put in our “best licks." \Vc were
agile in those days, and the way we “peeled
it" across that potato patch, would have
opened the eyes of any deacon on earth.
We took the stone fence at a fate of speed
which made our coat stand out as straight as
a string from the armpits, and tore down the

he motioned the old gentleman to a seat,
thinking no doubt, it was his last article on
the evils of intemperaucc that had fetched
him.
Yes, sir; it's just as you say. I didn’t
used to b’licvc in the newspapers, but I do
now, an' I come to tell. you about it.
’Twnsnt a durned thing but a broken lock,
d’ye see, an' we sent out for the nearest car-
penter to come and fix it all right. Well,
that fellow came; he looked at the door,
turned the useless knob a couple ‘of times,
said something about “them mortice locks"
and then went away. Inab‘out an hour he
came back with a little arrangement he call-
edia “pick,” and which, he kindly informed
us was “genuine," one of the regular kind,
used by burglars. He put that arrangement
in the key-hole, turned and twisted it for
half an hour, then gave us the valuable infor-
motion that that lock had been broken ever
since it was put on ; in fact, they often done
them that way, these second-class mechanics.
IIe guessed the only thing for him to do was
to take OK the facing, so he would go and
get the tools. About this time the old wo-
man camc down stairs and wanted to know
if she was “ever going to be let get through
that door ?" Now, if there’s anything I do
hate, it is to get the old lady to growling.
She don’t growl easy, but when she does
commence, Oh Lord! Well, in about half
an hour the fellow appeared again. He had
about forty tools of. different kinds, now
scattered around. He jammeda mammoth
screw-driver in between the door and facing,
and pried on it until the facing gave way in
half adozen places, then. he took another
instrument, and witha hammer, succeeded in
smashing the latch of the lock, rendering it
perfectly unfit for further use]; then he gath-
ered up his tools and remarked that it was
too late to do anything further that night.
He forgot to return next morning, and had
to be sent for. The messenger was informed
at his shop, that he was not in, but would
come over as soon as he returned. about
two hours he again appeared upon the scene,
took the measure of the lock, and disap-
peared. it
After another half hour of suspense he
brought the new look ; then worked around
at the door, blessed all other carpenters in
general, cut the mortice to fit the lock, and
then found out that he had a left-hand lock
when he wantcda right-hand one. The old
lady came down again about this time, and
said that the next time I wanted a lock fixed
she'd'move out for a couple of weeks. .'
Finally, after defacing the moulding all
round, getting the knob a little higher and
the key-hole a little lower than originally, or
so asto leave unpainted spots showing, he
gavcus the cheering information that his
workwas finished, audit" would send up the
bill.
Now, I hadn’t believed what you had been
saying about plumbers and their bills; but
when I saw-that bill it convinced me. To
one mortice lock, $4.50; removing old one,
$1.00 ; half dozen screws, 25 cents ; time of
carpenter and assistant, $4 75 ; . total, $10.50,
to which I might add spoiling two yards of
Brussels carpet, $5.00; defacing moulding,
etc., $2.00—and irritating my wife past all
redemption.
can count of my believing all you say here
after.

The New York Journal of C’omnm-ee, a
Democratic organ, says of the present sham
House of Representatives:
“The passxgc of the bounty bill calling for
the expenditure of many millions of dollars,
by a vote of 140 to 46, reveals the hollowness
of the vaunted professions to be considered
champions of economy. This bill is the old
fraud which has been before successive Con-
gresses. It originated notwith the soldiers,
but with demsgogues who sought to flatter
them for electioneeringends. * * * If the
House are not in earnest in the vote of Tucs-
day, then they have committed a paltry piece
of trickery—apractical joke wholly out of
place at this time, when seriousness and
gravity are needed in the management of
public affairs. Whether they mean business,
or are only fishing for the.,soldier and sailor
vote,£ they equally deserve rebuke. The sol-
diers and sailors do_ not ask for it, and do
not expect it. * * * The only lobby
working for it is composed of claim agents,
who have received assignments, for nominal
sums, of rights, which might accrue under
the bill if passed.” . .

A New York interviewer called on Daniel
Drew the other day and found him engrossed
in thepages of Josephus. He said : “I’ve
retired permanently from business this time,
which I ought to have done years age under
different and happier circumstances. I never
dreamed that the time _would come when I
should have gone into bankruptcy. There
never was just such a case as mine ever heard
of before. NO man was ever so rich as I was,
worth at one time eight or ten millions of
money, and then made to loose every dollar
of it in a shorttime.” Referring to the late
A. T. Stewart, he said that even that prompt
business man had delayed his charitable
schemes too long, and now they would have
to be carried out by some , one _.else, if at all.

The Fifty-second Annual Report of the
American Sunday School Union gives an en-
couraging view of the activity of those to
whomits important interests have been wise-
ly entrusted. lVe learn from it that as the
result of their efforts during the year ending
on March lst last, twelve hundred and thir-
ty six Sunday-schools have been set in opera-
tion, six thousand and seventyfiour teachers
enlisted,i and forty-six thousand, seven hun-
dred and seventy-four scholars gathered for
instruction. During the same period the mis-
sionaries of the Society have distributed nine
thousand three hundred and forty-seven Bi-
bles'and Testaments, have visited twelve thou-
sand, nine hundrcd and fifty—seven families,
and in the course of their labors have travel
ed two hundred and sixteen thousand, five
hundred and thirty one miles. In connection
with this most estimable Society, we learn
that a liberal collection has been made in be-
half of the American Sunday-School Union
by the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church af-

Sunday-School Conventions ,in
Texas. ' l ’ ’
That venerable missionary of the Ameri-
13“ Sumthchool Union, Stephen Paxson,
‘1 company With his son, Rev. William Fax-
{01], who ‘fscrved his time” with him in his
nissionary business, has been holding a series
)f Sunday-school conventions in Texas, two
I. week and seldom less than a hundred miles
part. The first, in Sherman, in Northwes-
ern Texas, was a glorious success, not only
nterestiug the people in the Sunday.3chool
work, but because a deep work ,of grace
;eems to have begun there. They have a1
:cady heard of five conversions, and of oth.
:rs inquiring the way.
The next was at Paris, in Northeastern
l‘exas, where, at first they met decided opp0-
iition, the people being unacquainted with
auch meetings, and some ecclesiastics there
'efusing to recognize any union work. But
when one showed his opposition to it, and to
uniorm lessons, much to his surprise, he found
the people against him, and that he had
“oversbot his mark," and so he subsided.
The great heart of the people is for union in
itate and Christian work. Afterv‘vards they
red a precious meeting giving promise
.of a work of grace.
Their next convention was at Waco, and
mspiciOus of good. The next was the South-
:astern, held in Houston, at a very auspicious
time, the way having been well prepared by
the evangelists Hall and Cree of the Y. M.
C. A. The next were at Crocektt and Mar.
thall, and much good was done. At the state
tonvention at Dallas, the first ever held in
the state, a grand enthusiasm was aroused
1nd a permanent organization effccfid.
These meetings not only elevate the stun-
dard of Sunday-school teaching, ‘but they
tlso diffuse the missionary spirit, and mate-
rially aid in the organization of new schools.
A similar series of. (mnvpnt'lono held in Texas
inst. year, by Messrs. Paxsou and Reynolds, '
resulted in the formation of over fifty new
schools not reported to the American Sunday
School Union, but the direct fruit of this
mission work.
The Preacher Opposed to Union.
A missionary of . the American Sunday-
Sclrool Union, in Kentucky, recently organi-
zed a school in a school house, which
was so full that the boys had to sit on
the floor. About sixty enrolled—all that
could be accommodated. Onlv two families
refused to unite, because their preacher was
unwilling to labor in a Sunday-school with
other denominations. But they were deter-
mined to have a Union school, and to equal-
ize matttcrs they elected two superintendents
and an assistant—a Presbyterian, a Methodist
and a Baptist. The teachers were chosen on
the same principle, which was satisfactory to
all concerned. A prayer-meeting is soon to
be established, and all pledged to make
this alive model Sunday-school, though held
in a log school house.
The missionary established another Union
school, very suspiciously, in a neighboring
district, where there is a Presbyterian church
having a good house, but for several years
they have had preaching only once a month,‘
and never a prayer-meeting nor Bible-class.‘
It was made a Union school because other de-
nominations were anxious to share its bene-
fits. They hope to start a prayer-meeting
soon; also a Daily Bible-Reading Society,
which will be most helpful to the Sunday-
scbool interest.—0huroh Um‘on.
Alcoholic Stimulants Dun-lug
Physical Exposure.
When men are subject to great and pro-
longed exposure to cold, experience. has
taught them the danger of taking spirits
while the exposure continues. My friend
Dr. Foyer told me that when crawling
through the wet heather in purSuit of deer'on
a cold day he Offered the keeper‘ who ac-
companied himapull from his flask. The
old'man declined, saying, “No, thank you,
it is too cold.” The lumberers in Canada
who are engaged in felling timber in the pine
forests, living there all winter, sleeping in
holes dug in the snow and lying on spruce
benches covered with buffalo robes, allow no
spirits in their camp, and. destroy any, that
may be found there. The experience of
Arctic travellers on this subject is nearly
unanimous; and I owe to my friend Dr.
Milner Fothergill an anecdote which illus-
trates it in a very striking way. A party ’of -
Americans crossing the Sierra Nevada en. '
camped at the spot above the snow line, and
in an exposed situation. Some of them took
a good deal of spirits before going to sleep,
and they lay down warm and happy; some
took a moderate quantity, and they. lay down
somewhat but not very cold: others took
none at all, and they lay down cold and mis-
erable. Next morning, however,'tbose who
had taken no spirits got up feeling quite
well, those who had taken but little got up
feeling cold and wretched, and those, who
had taken a gmd deal did not get up at all ;
they had perished from cold during the night.
Those who took no alcohol kept their heart ‘
warm at the expense of their skin, and they *
remained well; those who took much
warmed their skin at the‘ expense of their
heart, and they died—Dr. T. Lander Bim-
ton in the Practitioner for February.

A Beautiful Incident.
A naval officer being at sea in a dreadful
storm, his wife sitting in the cabin near him,
filled with alarm for the safety of the’ve'ss‘el,
was so surprised at his serenity and compo-
sure that she' cried out ':
“ My dear, are you not afraid ? How is
it possible you can be so calm in such a '
dreadful storm '1’" '
He rose from his chair, dashed it, to 'the
deck, drew his sword, and pointing it at the
breastof his wife, exclaimed :. ’ '
“ Are you not afraid 3"
She immediately answered, “N o. "
-“ Why ?” said the officer.-
“ Because,” replied the wife, “I know
that sword is in the handset my husband,
and he. loves me too well to hurt me,"
“ Then,” said he, “I knew- in whom I
believe, and that he who holds’the 'winliin
his hand is my Father.” ’ ‘

‘ Do you' Read Your Bible ?‘ 9
It is the grand and noble workuof. the
American Bible Society to supply the desti-
tute everywhere with the word'of God; and
it is their “hearts desire and prayer, .to God"
that all whOm they furnish with: it, and all,
others who have it, may search the Scriptiires
daily and devoutly, to find in them." eternal
life; and this they seek to secure by all their
agents and publications. But how is the 31'- ‘
ble neglected .' How sinful and sad to have the
light, but not come to it! How severe the
condemnation of such! .
A missionary of the American Sunday-
School Union writes: “At a certain place, I
asked the man of the house, ‘ Have you a
Bible?’ In anger he replied, ‘ What, Mister! .
do you s’pose I’s a heathen? I's bin? in :the ,
church ten years. Sally, git the Bablc and
let this man see it.’ After'searching'for some
time, Sally finally found it; and"'when - the
owner opened it he exclaimed, ‘Wai, Mis-
tcr, I’mtglad you set us a huntin' up the Bi- ‘
ble; fur here’s a letter 1 writ to my sisitér a
year ago, and thought I’d sent it; and I’ve
wondered, time an’ agin, why he never Wl'it
hack.’ How much good was that Bible doing '
for that professor or his household during
that year ? ' A LIFE 'Dmxc'ron.
