A modest estimate, of the number of
applications for post otliccs to hand is
safely put a t 400.000. an average of eight
for every otlice. though in many cases
the actual number is known to be as
high as thirty-six. Accompanying these
applications are reams of endorsements
and appeals in the shape of letters and
petitions. There are 3.000 applications
for the establishment of new oiliccs. and
there are 3.000 resignations of fourth-
‘class postmasters now on hand unncted

(loud Advice.
President l‘orter of Yale t‘ollege gave
the following advice to the students of
that institution at the opening of the
year 1573; ’
"Young men. you are the architects of
your own fortunes. Rely upon your
own strength: of body and soul. Take
for your star self-reliance. faith. honesty
and industry. Inscribe on your banner,
'l.uck lS a fool. pluck is a liero.‘ Don‘t
take too much advice; keep at your
helm and steer your own ship. and re
ineiiiber that the great art of command-
ing is to take a fair share of the work.
Don t practice too much humanity.
Think well of yourself. Strike out.
Assume your own position. l‘ut pota-
toes in your cart. over a rough nod. and
the small ones go the bottom. Rise
above the envious and jealous. Fire
above the mark you intend to hit.
Energy. invincible determination. With
a right motive. are the lovers
that move the‘ World. Don't VtIl‘IllIi.
Don't chew. Don't smoke. Don‘t swear.
Don‘t read novels. Don‘t marry until
you can support a wife. Be in earnest.
lie self~reliant. Bo generous. lie civil.
Read the tapers. Advertise your busi-
ness. Ma 0 money and do good with it.
Love your God and fellownieii. Love
truth and virtue. Love your countrv
and obev its laws" '
If this advice be implicitly followed
by the young men of this city and the
whole country the milleuiuui would
soon dawn upon us.

We have as vet only made a begin-

very nice. cheerful and pleasant room
in it for our books and papers. and a
place to sit and enjoy them. We have
but a small quantity of [looks in com~
pariwn with what we ought to have to
meet the wants and needs of a public
library. Now. if we could only get the
books that many a family could \vell
spare. we might have a very respectful
and useful library. If any one noticing
this is moved to befriend us in such a
way, a word to that effect through the
mail. giving address and the time they
would like to have the books called for,
'- adduced to llr. Geo. 8. North. our
‘brari'an. will be promptly and thank~
attended to.
Will any our of friends think over this?
Let nothing be wasted. let nothing be
idle that can be made useful. There are
good books in every family library in
this city that are fairly longing to be
read by somebody. and are growing
dusty and losing color while waiting.
and there are quite a number of anxious
mind- that are earnestly longing for the
privilege of reading such good books,

cows and several goats go through the

think. Men and girls in Swiss costumes
go with them. and when they get to the
house the cows are milked into large
tumblers as fast as the crowd of drinkers
call for it. The milk is sold at live cents

I’nder date of Sept. 1st. from "The
Schwarzwald.“ the lady writes:—
This isa wonderfully beautiful coun-
try for scenery. and vastly entertaining
are the people. The pensruits seem never
to have altered their style of dress or
manner of livnig.or the plan and Q»
structioii of their homes. Nearly iilit ie
houses have somewhere on them the date
of their erection. and many still in good
condition were built two and three hun-
dred years ago. The old women all look
as thought they had started life at the
same time as their houses. They work
continuously out of ‘doors from earlv
morn till dark. haymaking. planting or
getting in their stock of winter vege-
tables. They will carry half a load of
buy on their heads. as well as brush~
wood from the forests. and immense
bundles of moss. Everything is turned
to some use—and there is no waste or
poverty. I think. in all Germany. But
the peasants live. it seems to us. in utter
discomfort inside their houses. They
seem to care very little toliave the sun
and light come in. The immense over-
hanging roofs come nearly to the
ground. and the windows are few and
small. and tilled with the brighest color-
ed geraniums. Ever is here there are
cows. kept in pasture elds.—nnt by the
fences.for:there are nonc—-but by young
children and the very old women. All
children must. bylaw of the land. go to
school between the ages of seven and
thirteen. During this season ofthe year
it seems to be holiday. or else these chil-
dren are under seven years. But. only
a day or so ago we saw at least fifty
boys, all between seven and thirteen.
and all bareheaded. with their knap-
sacks on their backs. All the boys how-
ever poor-looking. carry their books in a
knapsack on their backs. All these boys
carried rods of iron five feet long.as sold-
iers carry their guns. and marched like
veterans. four abreast. They all grow
up soldiers. even if they do not go into
the service.
But. the saddest and most primitive
custom is that of their funeral ceremon-
ies. Two or three weeks ago we made a
long walk to a village perched high on
a mountain. In the morning we saw a
funeral. The processmn was led by a
man who carried a little pot of water.
like the can which holds the tumblers
of the water‘boy on American rail-
roads. Then came two boys dressed in
bright yellow. carrying high arouse.
from t which floated black tarletan
streamers. Then abig boy with a large
gilt crucifix. Then the priest in his
gowns. and then a four wheel skeleton
wagon. On this was tied by ropes the
coffin, which the priest sprinkled with a
brush. - Than following a procession of
en in single fileon either‘cido of the
roadway chanting acolemn dirgc. Three
days before we saw the nine ceremon-
lcc. out that the coat: was white, and
evident that of a very young child. as.

\Vhencvsr you meet a man. Woman or
child. they greet you With the word
“tag." which is pronounced “tug.” and
is the short for “gutsnta “—good-day ;
and whether you look at t ism or not. or
whether you are sitting with your back
to the roadway. it is all the same. they
never fail to salute you. And when any-
one comes to you knowning that you
will soon eat your dinner. or breakfast.
or supper—no matter whether they are
going by you—they never fail to say.
“I wish you good appetite." and at night
the chambermaids. the waiters.and even
the porters, when they come to your
room with anything called ' for. say
“Good night. sleep well.“ And this is
as natural to them as to breathe. and it
makes all have. a friendly feeling for
each other.
llere all are buried according to age
and sex. and not by families—dust as
they sit in their church. the boys and
girls by themselves. At church the men
and women sit on opposite sides.and
when the church is full they stand out-
side all around the church. men togeth-

their prayers and beads. never looking

“lo“ lug up Hell Gate.
At precisely fourteen minutes and
thirty seconds after eleven Saturday
morning the 280.000 pounds of dynamite
and rackarock stored under Flood rock
at Bell Gate was exploded. and nine
acres of rock was blown into fratzments.
On Sunday. September ‘24. 1876. the

three hundred thousand chained demons
buried in darkness and the cold. salt

rumble. then a dull boom. like the
smothered bursting of a hundred
mighty guns far away beyond the blue
horizon. rolled across the yellow river.
l‘p. up. and still tip into the air soared a
great. ghastly. writhing wall of white
and silver and gray. Fifty gigantic
geyscrs. linked together by shivering.
twisting masses of spray. soared upward.
their shining pinnacles. with doiiielike
summits. looming like shuttered tloods
of molten silver against the azure sky.
Three magiiiliceut tiioiiuiiieiits of solid
water sprang far above the rest of the
mass. the most westerly of them still
rising after all else had begun to fall.
till it towered nearly 1‘00 feet in air. To
east and west the wn‘crs rose. a long
blinding sheet of white. Far and wide
the great wall spread. defying the
human eye to take in its breadth and
height and thickness. The contortioii
of the wreathed writers was like the
dumb agony of some stricken thing.
for a trembling moment the sublime
spectacle stood sharp against the sky.
like a mighty vision of snookeapped
mountains. Then down. down. and

The fact that a portion of the reef
~ Hr“ inn
says. was just what was expected. The
force of the explosives was calculated to
operate almost entirely on the -iii:iss
below and expend as little as possible of
its energy upon the shell or roof. "As
a matter of fact we expected the roof
to be what the sailors call awash. or
just about tliish with the water. and this
is relatively what is now ’to be seen.
The portion of the surface now above
water is not over three feet iii height.
and is lit itself a proof of the cxactuiss
of the calculations. Below the rock is
all broken tip in pieces easily removed
by dredging. The survey will occupy
twoortlirce weeks. and when that is
completed and the necessary advertise

will be done by contract. It will pro-
bubly cost SBQHJNNI. of which we have

reefs in the Hell (late basin. and if
necessary a new entrance for ocean
steamers is afforded. The success of
the work at liallett‘s point and now at
Flood rock has brought the authorities
around. and it is very probable that the
other rocks and reels will have to go.
\\'hen the good effects of the removals
become manifest it is more than likely
that the work of roiiioving the other
reefs will be authorized. and this would
give an unrivaled basin that would serve
for the commerce of New York and
greatly add to its volume.
Iiieut. Derby was on and around the
island all day Monday. ticii. Newton
went over on the launch Runaway for
a short time and with Lieut. Darby Ili-
apccted the work of the explosion. .\lr.
Derby was asked what was the result of
their examination.
“.\ diver went down on Nigger [lead
during slack water at noon." he said.
"lie found the rock full of fissures and
seams. \Ve could drop the sounding rod
into some of them for eight or ten feet.
liito others the diver let himself down
tothe waist. and he could have gone
down further if he had dared to risk it.
There is no doubt that the entiie island
wasthoroughly shattered. There is a
crust of large. rocks over the top. but
when that is removed the stone under‘
neath will be found fine enough. It
was just. so after the explosion at
Ilallet‘s Point. Some parts of the crust
will have to be broken by surface blasts
ing. but not.very many. for the grap
plings of the dredzer that was used on
lallet‘s Point opened out wide enough
to grasp a rock fifteen feet across. We
shall dredge over Nigger Head first.“
At high tide the water made a clean
breach over nearly all of the island. and
as the tide ran down a strong stream
tired right across where the shaft had
n. Mr Derby said that the island
had sunk away there six or eight. feet
since Saturday. and it might sink still
further. until the whole thing would be
below the surface at high tide. In that.
event he said he would place a distinct
beacon at each. and of the reef for the
benefit of pilots.
The soundings and surveys made Mon-
day confirmed the statement almady
made that the old channels are as deep
and clear as they were before the explov
sion. Navigation will not be interfered
with by the work that must yet be done,
but an old fisherman said regretfully
that one of the best bass fishing grounds
in the harbor had been spoiled.
Just southeast of Flood rock used to
be an eddy known as the Turntable.
Said a pilot on an Astoria ferry-boat,
Sunda . “This was very useful to us.
as when boats were coming either up or
down stream we could pass into the
center of the table and the conflicting
forces of the water would hold us there
almost stationary. This eddy or whirl-
pool was caused by the strong current
striking against Flood rock and then
turning and twisting, forming this
body of water. The submerged rock on
which the current struck has evidently

W“ Loom-Strike.
A strike took place not long ago in‘ the
workshop of Sir William Armstrong in
England. There was no dissatisfaction
on the part of the men with their treat-
ment or wages; but one of the superin-
tendents had offended some of them. and
the whole y took this method of
enforcing a' demand for his removal.
Sir \Viiliam remained firm in his deter-
mination to resist the demand. and after
two weeks of voluntary idleness his
men. more than 5.000 in number. took
it into their heads to find out how
many of them really‘ had such an
avert-ion to the unpopular superintend~
eat that. they could not. work under him.
A ballot was taken upon the question of
giving up the point; in dispute. and
returning to their benches. and out. of
nearly 4.000 votes cast. only 348 were in
favor of continuing theistrike. As the
PhiladelphiaPress says. in commenting
on the case. this result seems to indicate
that 10 per cent, of the men. to avenge
real of fancied grievances of their own.
had thus been able to persuade the other
90 per cent. to give tip their work. and
with it. the support of their families dur~
in: two weeks. and might perhaps have
driven them to extremities. if the idea
of balloting on the subject had not
fortunately occurred to some one. The
Press is disposed to think that most
strikes are devised and managed in the
same way by a minority. perhaps a very
small one. of the total number of work-
men coiicerned in the movement. who
are able. by mere force (if volubility and
impudeiice. to push or delude the others
into disastrous follies. Against such
errors the use of the secret ballot as
introduced by the Newcastle workmen
is a valuable safeguard. Men of limited
education who pass their lives in routine
mechanical occupations think slowly.
and are readily carried away by cheap
enthusiasiiis which save them the labor
of reflection; but the act of casting a
secret individual ballot gives little scope
for irrational enthusiastii. while it
affords plenty of time to collect new
ideas. and votes taken: in that way
usually i'epresent sober tonviction.—
