WHERE '1'0 PUT THE STA \11' ON A LETTER. It has become a custom which all thoughtful persous always observe, to place the stamp ou the upper right-hand corner of the envelope, but few people have ever stopped to think what was the teasou fur this choice of pusitiuu The eau• celing statnp and the postmarking stamp are fastened side by aide upon the same handle, and if the stamp is correctly placed oue blow makes both impressions. 11, however, the stamp is ou the luwer right hand corner the ruetmark falls uu the ad• dress, and both are illegible, while if the stamp is on the left band side, the postmark, which is always at the left of the canceler, does not strike the envelope at all and a second blow is necessary to secure it. So, if the stamp is anywhere except iu the upper right-hand curuer, it makes just twice as Much work for the clerk, end this, where he is stamping many thousand pieces every day, is no shall matter. There has been in use f n some time, in the post -office in Boston, a num- ber of of canceling machines, into which the letters all faced upwards, are fed. These machines, if the 8tatnps are correctly placed, du the work quite well, leaving on the stamp a row of lung black ling which we ail notice on Boston let- ters. I an) not able to learn, however, that there is any other office in the country, as yet, which uses these. The Boston office has also, quite,re cently, put into operation a most in- genious nlachiue fur canceling and postmarking postal cards, which differs from the other in the greater rapidity of its work. Two hundred cards can be placed in it at once, a crank is turned, and click, click ! they fall into a basket all stamped. DROWNED TN HIS OWN CISTERN Monday morning Geo Leach of Caledonia,Out,was found drowned in his own cistern. Ile got up as usu- al on Monday morning, a few min- utes after seven o'clock, and after lighting the fires went to the barn to feed the horses. That was the last seen of hint alive. The rest of the family got up about eight o'clock and, not seeing him around, com- menced to look for hint. The boys went to the barn and saw that the horses had not been fed, and went back to the house and told their mailer, who carne out with them and saw fresh tracks close to the cistern, and on looking down) the cover being off) saw Mr. Leach, and reached down and caught hits by the hair of the head and called for help. They got hi,n out as quickly as possibly and sent for a doctor, but it was too late,as he muet have been in the water over half an hour. They carried him to the house and worked with him for some time, but it was of no use. How he fell into the cistern will never be known, but it is surmised that he knocked the cover off and it fell into the water, and in reach ing in to pull it up he overbalanced himself and fell in head first. He must made efforts to got out,as when found he was standing on his feet The cistern is in the barn, and is arched over on the top and is about eight below the barn floor. It is eight feet deep and contained about six feet of water. The only mark to be seen was one on the forehead, which, no doubt, was caused by strik- ing the board when falling in. Deceased was fifty•seven years of age and resided in Caledonia for forty- three years. Ile leaves a widow and six children, SUFFERING IN KANSAS. Topeka, Kan., Feb. 1.—Special Telegram to Chicago Liter Ocean— Pepresentatives of the western counties met last night to take ac tion on the suffering of the settlers in that oart of the State. G. I. Sears, of Thomas County, was pre- sent and presented a statement of the condition of the people in one township and said that hie report represented the average condition of the county. The truth of the statement was vouched for by the County Clerk, clerk of the district, and chairman of the board of county commiasioners and bore the county seals. It was a double tale. Every family was visited and out of eighty families seventy gave -a statement of the amount of grain, provisions, and money on hand ; also the amount of money they would probably have in the next six months. Aside from a few pensioners there was no likelihood of any one getting any money until the wheat crop is taken off and as far as ready money and some thing to eat is concerned there is practically nothing. No formal action was taken but some- thing will probably be done in the nenr future to assist them. ROBINSON 114S MARBLED 4 DOZEN OR SO, IUIIT W114I4 PROBABLY STOP NOW. Au old luau named William Rob limn, alias Lames Reed has been arrested by Federal officers at Grand R-apids, Mich, for alleged pension Iraud8, and at his examinaL1Ou day 801110 aeuaaliuual testimony was brought uut. It seems that Robin - den has a very soft place in his heart for tuldier'a widows, and is thought to be thestino man who, iu 1884, was sentenced from a Penn- sylvania court to aix years iu orison —oue year each fur aix eoldters' re- licts whom he had induced to marry hits. Hia method here has been 11) ret.rosent himself to the fair wearers of weeds as a goverment pension agent and offer to get them a hand= some pension if they could prove their husband's discharge. If they could not do this he would represent himself to be drawing a haudsotne salary and propose marriage. His offer was frequently accepted, as several widows are ou his track. One estimable widow living in Alle gab County discovered his character just in the nick -of time. She came with him to the county clerk here to procure a license. She had seen, hint write, or pretended to write, when filling out pension papers, but when they procured the liceuae he blade his 'nark, and was forced to confess he could not inscribe hie owe name. She wits shrewd enough to see the trap and cancel the engage- ment forthwith. Other widows did not fare so well,and at the time of his arrest he was living with oue near Ilastings, whom he married the next day after his discovery by the Alle- gan widow. I -Ie is held in $500 to the March terra of the United States Court. \VITEN NAMES BEGAN. Single names were. mostcomrnon a thousand years ago,says theDavinport Democrat•Gazette. As is the case with our Bucks and Brights in the oxen line, our Dana rend Jerrys in the horse -stall:, or Jip and Tigo in the kennels, so then it was with roan and wotuan kind ---a single name was all sufficient. In the time of King floury I., about eight hundred years ago, double names became rather fashionable—so much so that Itobert, his natural son, objected to marrying the wealthy heiress of a powerful lord because she had but a Bingle name. From this time of Edward I. an act of Parliament ren- dered it obligatory to take on the name—the family name, or two names of some sort. Hence sprang up such names as Henry Fitz Ran- dolph (fleury, sou of Randolph), etc. With such as had no clearly defined family ties location or occu- pation was used to help out, hence John atte Wood (John Atwood), William atto Water (Atwater), Thomas of the Woods, William atte Bachuse (at Bakehouse now Will- iam Baker), Margaret bon Coeur (good heart, now :.iargaret Bunker), Walter atte Shepyarde (now Walter Shepherd), John Scott was from Scotland, John Walsh was from Wales, Thomas Moore was of Moor• ish decent, and Peter Dane was from Denrnark,and so on, almost every name being a revelation of its owner's location, condition or occupation. Then were the Smiths(the stniters of metals) most numerous; then sprang up the Butlers (bottlers), the Hunters and Porters, the Brewers, the Cooks and the Clarks (clerics); but with all these names and double names no triple or double Christian names appeared for hundreds of years later—even until America brought one forth in the person of one Jonas Longford Redwood, of Rhode Island, in 1706, and Eng- land Sir Coplestone Warwick Barn- field in 1817. _-- -Edward Bosanquet, son of a wealthy banker, of London, Eng., was bitten by a rattlesnake near Drayton's, Florida, on Sunday morning while hunting and from the effects of which he died. The snake struck hien on the inside of his left leg above the ankle. —The Mich , Salt Association will cease to exist March 31st. The reason given is that owing to the competition in the salt manufactur- ing business throughout the country, and the extent of the production, the Association in order to market the product has been forced to sell large quantities in certain territory at lose than actual cost of the manu- factured product, depending upon better markets to make up the price.

OF COURSE ITS A WUMAN. "fhe hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rocks the world," The mother, Bitting beside and rocking the cradle, often singing her sad lullaby, may be thus shaping, as it were, the destinies of nations. But if diseases, consequent on motherhood, have borne her down, and sapped her life, how mournful will he her song.
