EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasnisorox, D. 0., Dec. 26, ‘87.
Dana Gaza'rrsz—Ou the adjour-mcht
of congress last Thursday most of the few
remaining members scampered off like
boys let out of school, and many of them
with more money in their pockets than
ever before, as they drew pay and mileage
to January lst. It is said the President is
greatly annoyed that Speaker Cariislc did
not announce his committees before re-
cess, but the Kentucky statesman is giv-
ing himself no unnecessary anxiety about
, the matter, and intends to make the diffi-
cult job as agreeable to himself as possible.
DEATHS.
The Christmas tide was saddened by
the deaths of ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Manning, of the Mayor Of Alexandria—a
very prominent man, who died of pneu-
monia—of ex-Clerk of the House Barclay,
and of Congressman Moffatt, who came
here well, was seized with a malignant
boil on the chin and died in the hospital.
When the house met on Thursday, the
blind chaplain, Millburn, offered the fol-
lowing prayer:
Almighty God, in the midst of this gay
and festive season we are startled by the
sudden death of a member of this House.
, Impress upon us all the solemn sense that
there is biit a step between us and death.
So may every man order his house that he
may likewise be ready when the summons
shall come. Comfort and cheer the
widow ; uphold and provide for the child-
ren thus made fatherless, and may they
and all that were dear to him find in Thee
the consolation which alone can be - ad at
such a time. We commend to Thy Al-
mighty care and protection the members
and Officers and all connected With the
service of this house. GO with those who
journey; abide with those that remain,
and in all our homes may there be a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year
Mr. Moffatt was a sterling republican,
and a man of considerable ability.
As soon as he heard of the death of
cx-Secretary Manning, President Cleve-
land directed that the flags on all the pub-
lic buildings be placed at half mast as a
mark of respect. He also sent the follow-
ing telegram to Mrs. Manning:
Though in this hour of nnuttcrable grief
your sorrow is too sacred to be shared and
too deep to be reached by earthly com-
fort, may I express to you my sincere and
tender sympathy, saddened by my own
affliction at the loss of a true and trusted
friend and a loyal associate-who but late-
ly stood at my side in the discharge, With
patriotic zeal, of solemn public duty.
Secretary Fairchild issued an order to
drape the Treasury building in mourning.
Nevertheless time was found amid the
deep sorrows surrounding the White
House and Treasury department to tele-
graph an order which practically makes a
”clean sweep” of most of the republicans
who are left in the New England custom
houses. Twenty-three republicans are
removed from the Boston custom house
alone, and the salaries of almost as many
more are reduced. Mr. Fairchild has
been trainei in the school Of politics that
prevails in the Onondaga district of New
York, and it is safe to say that the wretch-
ed maxim, “to the victors belong the
spoils,” has a persuasive sound in his ears.
He is appaiently trying to get Grover
ready for 1-888.
John M. Barclay, for many years journ-
al clerk of the House of Representatives,
died here Christmas ,cve, aged seventy-
onc. He was appointed journal clerk of
the House through the influence of Presi-
dent Lincoln. During his term of office
he compiled and published the parliament-
ary guide known as “Barclay’s Digest,"
still in use in the House.
The W ashiiigton Republican recom-
mends a pension to Mrs. Daniel Manning.
Why not one to the heirs of the author of
Barclay’s Digest?
POSTAL REFORM (f)
The business men and people of the
whole country have recently been annoyed
and outrageously vexed by a new, il-
liberal and altogether unnecessary and
strained interpretation of the postal law
in reference to third and fourth class mat-
ter going through the mails. One firm in
New York was called on to pay letter pos-
tage on parcels of merchandise he sent out
with directions on a tag, on which tag was
printed the word “patented” where the
patent laws require the word to be
put on every patented article. A New
York publisher was mulcied several hun-
dred dollars because his despatching clerk
marked in lead pencil the letter "m" all
books mailed. This was done to separate
the mail books from another lot marked
“ex"mcaniug they were to go by express,
A package of several small books arrived
here last week from New York with the
word “books" written across one corner
in lead pencil. A corner of the wrapper
was torn off and showed they were thin
books or pamphlets. They had come
over from the New York city office here,
with only the fourth rate postage charged
and paid, but the Washington postmaster,
under the special orders of Postmaster
General Vilas and his third assistant post-
master-general, charged full letter postage
of 94 cents for the Offending word, al-
though neither lie nor the recipient of the
printed matter knew, and both reasonably
supposed that the New York mailing
clerk had put on the offending word in
stead Of the sender. The outrage has
now come home to Connecticut. We give
the full history of the difficulty in the
following letter addressed to congress-
men: '
MY DEAR Sim—We respectfully desire
to call your attention to the following
statement of facts. Some days ago be
mailed to each of the U. S. senators and
members of the House of Representatives
:1 copy of our “Blue Book of Leading
Newspapers,” paying the usual amount of'
postage on third class postal matter, viz.,
one cent for each two ounces.
0n the upper left hand corner of the
wrapper, which held the book, was print-
ed iu an artistic design our business card,
which we haVe used without. question for
many years. Our postmaster said it
Would pass, and we printed 5,000 copies.
On presenting the books at the post
office to be mailed (a week later) we were
informed that a new decision had been
l'ccelVed from the department at Washing-
ton that there must be nothing on the
wrapper except the address and frotn
whom sent.
We ordered the books sent being de-
termined to test thelaw, not so much for
ourselves, as for the hundreds and thous-
ands who usc the mails, ten, yes, twenty
tiiii. s as much as we do.
Our desire in the whole matter has been
to get this gross injustice modified or re-
pealed as soon as possible by bringing it
promptly to the attention of congress.
The books were sent from the. post
office in this city on the 2d lush, and on
the Bill we received a letter from the
assistant. postmaster of the U. S. Senate,
Mr. Kellogg, in which he informed us that
the books were in the city post Office at
Washington, on which there was marked
81 cents due on each. because the words,
“Judicious Advertising Agents and Ex-
perts,” appeared on the wrapper.- These
words causing all the trouble.
Mr. Kellogg asked us for authority to
erase the offending words, which wo ini-
mediately responed to by giving him full
power to make such erasure as he tli tight
neCessai'y.,
h e are now in receipt of a letter from
him under date of the 10th, from which
.We llltlkt: the following extract:
"1 applied to the city postmaster of
t‘Vashington to cancel the objectionable
printing on the wrapper, but he would
mot assent to anything without; authority
ifrom the department. They must have
.written authority to allow me to eradicate
.tlie offensive wording. I then Went to
are the thiid assistant postmaster-general,
{Mix 1 .. R. Harris), and asked the author-
ity. He told me personally that if the
oily port mister would allow me to do ii,
the , ih - department, would not com-
plain. I asked for specific instructions;
iliey then forwarded me the following:

vou this mOi-niixg I beg leave to [inform you
that the postmasterogeneral has refused _to
give any order to ti o postmaster of this city

by The a. P. Hubbard Co., of New Haven,
Conn., without payment of the postage due
tinder the law. Years, very respectfully.
H. R. HARRIS, 3d Asst. P. M. General.
“I then wrote in reply that I had never
asked for the matter referred to in their
note, but asked for an answer to the fol-
lowing, to wit z—That The H. P. Hubbard
Co. might be allowed to erase and destroy
the offending words on 400 of the Blue
Books sent under misapprehension and by
ermission of the postmaster at .New
aveu; upon which they had paid 11
cents postage; so that they might be re-
lieved from paying 31 cents more. I re-
ceived this morning the following :”

A PARTIAL BAGKDOWN.
It has been made so hot for Postmaster.
General Vilas that he has just modified
his first unreasonable order that, the pack-
ages marked “merchandise" shall he al-
lowed to go as heretofore, as the word
“merchandise" is but a generalization of
the articles contained in the packages, and
is not in violation. of the postal law, as
was held in the preceding order. Ihis
action§has simplified matters at the post
offices considerably, and thousands Of
Christmas packages, which would have
been withheld, were sent through. _
The P. M. Gen. has also promised to
prepare a bill for Congress permitting any
third or fourth class matter now permiss-
able to be'sent inside a wrapper, to be put
on the outside of said wrapper, but thirrc
is little hope that any “reform" .coming
from so constructed a source, will much
benefit the people, for when the postal
system of the country was established, and
until the present head of that department
was supposed to be maintained _
Superintendent Bell of the Foreign
Mails Office has received a letter from If.
A Newton, of Yale College, in which he
says that college Officers, feeling that the
tax on foreign books is a burden is to
some extent unnecessary, and is so far un-
wise, are asking Congress to . lace, Under
the law now in force only books intended
for public libraries, religious and charitable
institutions are admitted free of duty.

street, Brooklyn, N. Y., writes as: “For
several years I liaVe suffered almost con-
stantly from dyspepsia, receiving little or
no benefit from the treatment or medicine
prescribed by many doctors, and patent
medicines, as a rule, did more harm than
good. A physician recently induced me
to try Pauline, and to my astonishment, it
proved successful, a few bottles produc.

A LADY WRITES.
That Terrible Fire is Put Out and no
Symptoms Oi Its Returning.
ELMIBA, Aug. 30, 1887.
Esrnaslan Docron AND Dam FRIEND :—
I write to inform you of the condition of
my health. You will remember of my
sending to you for remedies fora compli-
cated blood disease, which, at that time,
was very aggravating. I received very
promptly the package of medicine, and
commenced taking as per directions. At
that time I was incapacitated from labor.
After using a few days I- perceived a very
material change for the better; in three
weeks I was able to resume my usual
labor, and have not lost a day since. I
haveaportion of the medicine on hand
yet. I take of it occasionally, but. not as
regular as at first. That terrible fire is
put out, and that .unendurable itching has
all passed away with no symptoms as yet
of a return. My flesh, which was covered
by a dirty, scaly eruption, has resumed its'
natural look and flexibility—4n other words
it is clean and smooth. The swellin is
entirely removed, and I feel as wel as
over, for which I thank God and Dr.
Kilmer. I should have written you before
but have been waiting to see any symp-
toms of a return, whi h I do not.
Yours truly, Mas. L. R. TREAT,
510 Perrine Street.

Deafness Can’t be Cured
By local applications as theyoau not
reach the diseased ,p'ortiou of the car.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition Of the mucus lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and 'unless
the inflammation be taken out out this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed for over; nine
cases out of ten are caused by .cafarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con-
dition of the mucus surfaces,
We will give One Hundred Dolvlzu's for
any case of Deafness (caused by Catarrh)
that we cannot care by taking Hell’s
Catarrh Cure, Bend for circular free,

At Cliff Cottage Kilkec, there visited

In his youth he took a great. fancy for

Through the kindness of =

Captain Fitzgerald, C. 13., he was sent to 3
practice for some time, and a for coming
home he painted some excellent pieces.
One especially, the "The Hunting Scenes.”
which was very much admired. He had
nearly completed another, “The Caves by
Moonlight," when he left fol" America.
Not being in affluent circumstances after
landing he had to “rough it," and lay
aside his brush for some time, but I am
glad to say that he is again pursuing his
studies at South Norwalk, Connecticut,
and already is gaining a good deal of dis-
tinction there.

ready, the year we shall shortly be calling
1888. I’ansy's story to last all through

twelve girls did try to live by certain
golden texts. Margaret Sidney also makes
another story out of the children that
figured in the “Little Red Shop” last year.
Her story this year is “The Old Brimmer
Place." Rev. C. M. Livingston. writes a
serial, “Treasures: Their Hiding and
Finding." The Pansy is going on as here-
tofore, a monthly magazine made up Of
weekly parts; the first part containing
I’amy‘s Golden Text and other stories;
the second part Pansy/'5 own and other
stories; the third part stories of what is
going on in America; the fourth part
stories of life abroad; the fifth of mis-
sionary work. This weekly arrangement
adapts it to Sunday School use the weekly
parts being given out separately. It is
better than any Sunday School paper; in-
deed it is the Sunday School paper. 'A
sample copy can be got by sending five
cents to the publishers, D. Lothrop Com-
pany. Boston.

FOR YOUNG FOLKS.
INCE its first. issue, in 1873, this magazine
has maintained with unviispived recog-
nition. the position it took at the beginning—-
that of being the most excellent juvenile peri-
odical ever printed. The best known names
in literature were on its list of contributors
from the start—Bryant, Thomas Hughes, Long-
fellow, Geor 'e MacDonald. Brete Harte, Bay-
ard Taylor. rances Hodgsnn Burnett, James
T. Field-I, John G. Whittier; indeed the list is
so long that it would be easier to tell the few
autholsoanVe whu have not contributed to
“the World's child magazine."
THE EDITOR, MARY MAPES DODGE,
Author of “Hans Drinker," or, ” The Silver
Skates,”aud other popular boon for young
folks—and for grown up fo'ka,—too, has a re-
markable faculty for knowing and entertaining
children. Under her skillful leadership, St.
Nicholas brings to thousands of homes on both
sides of the water knowledge and delight.
