The Postmaster Clenazare PoPert.
The report ef the Postmaster Generel
forth* year ending 30th June last has
come to hand, and presents some very
interesting details respecting this im-
portant brush cit the public service.
Both* gives a better ides of the date
sad progress of a countey than its potted
statisties end we are glad' to learn from
the repeEt before us that Canada must
be ia a nourishing condition.
Tke Post Office Department is net
eelf-sustaining but there is noun te
believe that before many years it will be.
The total revenue for the put year' was
$1,193.062, and the =pukka* $1,369,-
162 showing a deficit of $176,000. The
revenue et the Department has increas-
ed almut 94 per sent, while the expen-
ses have only increased at the nits of 4
per cent. Thue figures only refer to
the four Provinces of Ontario. Quebec),
New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. The
total number of Post Offices now in
operation throughout the entire Domin-
ion, is 4,135, being an increase of 192
over the number returned last year.
Fin the Ara -time statistics respecting
Manitoba and 13ritiah Columnia are
included in fits rehert, which amounts
for the large increase in tie "miles of
Put Routes" -an increase of 3,400
lades, the total number of miles being
33,413. The annual mail travel shows
an increase of 50,491, while in the
n umber wf letters seat by post we have
the enormous increase V 3,550,000. Iu
the number of registered letters, we find
aa increase of sixteen per cent, tee total
umber sent during the past year being
1,277,000. As an instance of the safety
insured by ryistretion, we may men
tion that not more than ens letter in
33,600 appears to have pas astray. It
seems strange that ander flies* eircum-
staaces people vedi persist in sending
money by unregistered letters. Of the
total number of letters posted, one in
e ighty Ands its way to the Dead Letter
Office.
In the returns of the Money order
and Savings Bank department, we find
very satisfactory •vidence of their con-
stantly increasing usefulness. Last year
the total in= of money corder& reaehed
the handsome figure of $5,144,834.31,
showing en increase over the former
you of $58'4,004. The money order
system appears to be entirely self-sus-
taining in Ontario end Quebee. In the
Savings Bank Department an increase
of 4,523 is shown in the number of trans-
actions, while in the &mount placed to
the credit of depositors the increase is,
in round numbers, 11600,000.
The total nuinher of letters carried
during the year wee 30.600,000. of
pepers 24,400,900 and of parcels 24,800.
The number of tapers appears out of
proportion, but it must be remembered
that the city dailies despatch a large
proportion of their issue by express.
The transatlanec postal service giros
some intereating fasts. For the year
Le72 tt, shoes an increase et 140,401 on
the letters sent to Britain by the Allan
line, 129,340 en the newspaeers, rend 540
oa the books; while oa letters coming
from Britain to Canada, there war an
inertia,* of 162,720; of newspapers,
22,034, sad on books, 20,809.

We appeni a paregreph taken from
the New York World, showily the ad-
vantage of salt as a fertilizer, more
especially for wheat. Refuse salt can
be *binned at the wells in Gedesich for
three dollars a ton,tand we wonder that
our farmers do net woe more of it on
their land. One of our manufacturers
informs us that there is more demand
for refuse salt for land from a distanoe,
than in the immedinte neighborhood
when it costa little more than the ex-
pense of drawing it away. The follow-

Notwithstanding that the city has bun

A telegram from Australia, ennoun-
oing the srrival of the ship Alardtts from
Hamburg, with emigrants, states that
32 of the presagers died during the

Hon. J nseph Howe has bidden adieu to
life. He left Ottawa on Satur-
day last to assume the post of Lieuten-
ant Governor of.Nevs Seotis. An ad-
dress was presented to him by the mem-
bers of the House of Commons. He will
be succeeded in the Cabinet by Mr. Mc-
Donald, of Pieten.
Very eonflicting reports reach in ef
the state of health of the Pope. It was
reported last week that he was dead and
the Toronto Moil and loader published
obituary notices. The report turned
elf:, to be without foundation, and the
latest information states that he WM SO
far recovered as to be able to say Mass
in his privati Chapel, and subsequently
to gire audience to a deputotion, which
brought Peter's Ponce.
" The agriculture' world has never yet
settled the question -as to the value of
comrson salt as a fertilizer ; but any
farmer who will apply it to his growing
wheat at the rete of at least fifty pounds
and not over one hundred pounds per
aere, can determine the question for
kitnself when, toward the time of harvest
he perceives the thriftiness of the straw,
the plumpeess of the grain, and the
greatly ieereased yield oyer that of any
portion of the field that ass nontreated
with salt. There is donger in the use
of salt in excessive quantities as a fer-
tiliser, and therefore we fix the presau-
tionary limit of not over 100 lba, per
acre. The price of salt does not place it
beyond economical nee as a fertilizer, as
in all almost maims of the older States,
the quantity judiciously applied tat an
acre can be purchased at from sixty
cents to s dollar and a quarter. Salt is
nnt only stimulating to the growth and
effective in the yield of wheat, but pro
duces esrlier maturity of the crop, thus
affording an avian@ of eac.ape from that
other malady of the wheat plant, rust on
the stem and blade, from which our
wheat crops in the South are in greater
peril than from smut. Rust is general-
ly aa almost complete blight, while smut
in usually but damagiug to disqualify of
the mop produced.''

It is reporteil that Sir Hag!' Allan
has failed to float elle bonds of the
Canadian Paciess Railway in the Enelish

In consequence of the treachery of the
Modem In.liane in killing the commis-

Sherman has, by order of tee President,
instructed General GdIeln to wage a wir

barbarous course is only a carrying, out
of the misguided policy which the
United States Government has always
adopted towards the Indians. The fol-
lowing is the letter of instruction :-

A terrible boiler explosion teok place
in Hyman's tannery 1 London, Ont.,
ou Friday morning last, by v. hicii tem
men were killed, one instantly and the
ether being so mangled that he only
lived a short time. Several others were
mitered, one of whom cannot survive.
The explosion was heard over the entire
sity and a number of norrow escapes are
reported, fragments of the boiler haying
beet hurled with terrific ferce for •
sonsidereble distance. It is supposed
that the accident was caused by the in-
troduction of cold water into the heat-
ed boiler. The budding wee nearly
destroyed, the loss being estimated st
$10,000.
The inveatagation inta the loss of the
Atlantic has been brought to a close.
The course of Capt. William in bearing
up fer Halifaz is commended as prudent.
The ship had not sufficient coal en board
at the time of sailing for • ship of her
IIIASS. The coal was of infonereuality, of
which she consumed 70 tons per day, thus
giving her len than thirteen days supply
when she loft port. Had all the circum-
stances of her passage been favoursble
this quantity of coal undoubtedly would
have carried the ship and the pamengers
safely to New York, but the psssage
&crow the Atlantic in winter without
more or louts unfavourable weather is an
exception and not the rule; contingencies
of low rate of speed resulting from head
winds and foul weather ought to have
been provided for. The conduct of
Captain Williams and the officers, after
the ship struck, was all that could be
demanded of men in their trying situa-
tion. The manegernent of the ship is
condemned frum the time of changing
ootirse at 1 p.m. Monday went the time
she became a wreck. The fact of no
lights being seen can only be accounted
for by want of vigilance. A gross error
must have been mode estineatiag the
speed of the ship, from incompetency or
carelessness in calculating on the pare of
those attending to the leg. The conduct
of Captain Williams in leaving the deck
miinight is condemned as imprudent,
and calculated to mete the impression
in the minds of the ulcers ea duty that
they were not so sear land. The mein -
cats of Capt. Williams is suspended for

so that, if nossible, better quality may

producer and dealer. It was decided to
continue the same mode of inspection as
adopted last year, but as it was thought
there was too great a diffierenee betwen
the two highest credos it was detormieed
to add another class, so that there will
now be four classes incite= of three.
Mr. Robert Callender was elected Chair -
Bean of the association and Mr. A. S.

year. There appeared to be a perfect
feeling of unanimity among the mer -
*bents present, and they expressed them-
selves as satisfied w th the system of in-
spection, and that it was producieggeed
onsets for all parties interest ed. Farm -
.ens at first thought the system gees the
profile all to the dealer, but no* that its
workiug is thoroughly understood they
are satisfied that it will eventually miss

tor. An inspector will he. appointed iu
all the towns arid villages in which anv
smoutit of butter is purchased, and
fanners will therefore have it inspeeted
before offering it to the dealer. This
system does not interfere with families
who purchase dirept fool the farmer.

MBN WHO WSW \Yoe/woo-God has
made the sexes thst women like children,
cling to men -lean upon them at though
they were superior in mind and bedy,
They make them the sins of Hulk_
systems, and they make their children
revolre around them. • Men ars Reds,
good minds and pile°
if they but know it, and women burn
incense at their slimes. Women, there
hfuer:rts' wiwwailit:inYeen to lean upon. Think
ol them reverencing a drunksrd, a har
or libertine. If a man would have a
woman do him horusge, he must be
manly, in every Benne a gentleman, not
after the Chesterfield school, but pollee
because his heart is full of kindness of
all; one who treats her with respect
bees -ale she is a woman; who never
condescends to say silly things to her ;
who brings her up to his leyel, if his
mind is above hers; who is ever over
anxious to do right; who has no time to be
fnvolous with her. Always dignified in
epee& and seta: who neyer spends too
much upon her; never yields to tempta-
tion, even if ehe puts it in his way ; Lee
make his mark in the world; whether
she encourages him or not; who - is not:
come careful about dress; always pleas-
ant end considerate, but always keeping
his Om of the man, the head, Led
never losing it. Such deportment, with
noble principles, a good mind, energy
snd induitry, win will any woman in
the world who is worth winning,
A Scum kaom elea--A young man en.
tired the bar-reom of a village tavern,
and/called for • drink. ''Ne•' laid the
landlord, " you have had too much el.
ready. You have had defiriton tremere
once, and I cannot sell you any more."
We stepped aside to make room for a cou.
pl. of young asen who had just entered,
and the landlord waited upon them
very politely. The other had stood by
silent and sullen, and when they had
aniehed he walked up to the landiord,
and thus iiddressea him: "Six years ago,
I stood where 0 He young men now are.
I was a msn with fair proapecta. Now,
at the age of twentyeight, I ani a wreck,
body and mind. Yon led Ste to drink.
In this room 1 formed the habit that
. has been my ruin. New Sell me a few
glasses more, end your work will be
done! I shall soon be out of the way;
there is no hope for me. But they can
be saved; they may be wasu &gem. Do
not sell it to them.. Sell to ine and lot
me dm, and the world will be rid of me;
but for Heaven's sake sell no mere to
them!" ,The landlord listened, pole ond
trenibling. Setting down his decanter
he exclaimed. "God helpuig me,that
is tie hut dollop I will ever' sell te anyone,"
and he kept his worse -Temperance
Adeocate.
Toe THOUSAND IsLemes.-Aateriese

Thousand Islands group on.their side of
the channel, exhibit kering to possess
our portion teo. This move has around
the hostility of the residents along the
cestedute Immo, and Dr. Braise, p.
has brought the subject forward in per_
lament. The Government will do a do-
cidely unpopular act if they allow those
beautiful islands to fall into the hands of
f oreigners.
A St. Louis judge, in sentencing a
prisooer, consoled him after this fuhion;
"If guilty; you richly deserve the fate
eneen awaits you; if innocent, it will be
a gratification for you to feel that you
were banged without such a creme on
your oonseienoe; either case y•on win
be delivered from a world of owe."
