We have all we need along the line and in those localities where there iy even the slightest possibility of dis- order we have hundreds of men in reserve. “There is no room for a strike. The only thing we have feared at all is that the firemen would go out. There is no just cause for such ‘an action on their part; they no they are paid and do not wor jong hours, but at such a time as this the men do not wait fora cause.” ing of the Buffalo situation, Mr. Webb sid: “The strike, in my is broken. It cannot extend tward. There is a slight chance of Grand Master Sweeney ordering a strike to the east, but even that is a slim chance. The men acted rashly and hastily, prejudicing the rail- road companies at the start. The men have lost, and the sooner they recognize that fact the better it will be forthem. Buffalo is well guarded at every point, freight is moving everywhere, and as far as I can eee there is no Toom for strikes or strikers.” Superintendent Voothees spoke in the same strain. In Central yards every- thing was quiet. Trainmen have grown reticent and refuse to speak of the troubles, but their silence speaks loudly in corroboration in favor of the opimion that the strike is practically at an end so far as New York city is concerned. The situation in the freight yards the North river front remains quiet and unchanged. J.D. Layng of the Lake § road aid this morning that no trouble was feaced with the men here now.

In 1858 of 1859 a young man of about twenty-five years of age came in one day, and soon acquired fasser's interest in the paper. He took hold with my brother and things went along smoothly for three or four mont! We noticed, how- ever, that the new partner was nervous and ap- parently distur! over something that con- tinually occupied his mind.

On the north side of table mountain and near its top is an opening in the lava that has since its early days been known as “the den.” It was so named from the fact that for years it was the lair of a band of ferocious California lions that, when the country was largely devoted to sheep raisittg, made nightly depredations upon | the flocks and caused the owners much annoy- ance and loss. When pursued the animals would seek refuge in this den, and no hunter would dare to enter it.

And now some of the temperance people want to know why Prosecuting Attorney Dumont was so unceremoniously removed, Attorney Hazelton, who did the removing, is still out of town, so his side of the story cannot be made | public. | He is expected back within a day or two and |he will probably find himeelf face to face | with an imposing aggregation of public sen- timent. Perhaps he will explain matters to the general satisfaction. | more prominent advocates of total abstinence are inclined to believe that he cannot clear his skirts of the imputation that in saw- | ing off Mr. Dumont’s head he was acting in the | interest of that nebulous but none the less pow- erful combination known rly as “the whisky ring.” The fact that Mr. Dumont had | horde of illicit dealers in intoxicants on the | run when he was choked off by bis su] offi | cer has been rambling all over town for two or three days, but no one has made even the slightest effort to trip it up. Somebody did suggest that had Mr. Dumont consulted with Mr. Hazelton before moving out upon the new line of prosecution there would have been no removal, and there are people in this city who intimate that after such a consultation there Would have been no prosecntions, Anyhow, no matter what reason may be ad- vanced for the decapitation of Mr. Dumont, it iscertain that those who sell liquor without | license are enjoying « most profitable season. WHAT THE TEMPERANCE PROPLE BAY. | Just what action the temperance people will | take is not now apparent, and it may be that jfor a few days the matter will be per- jmitted to slumber. It can be stated, | however—and the statenient comes from an that unless Mr. Hazelton is very speedily proven not guilty in_this matter | crusade will be inangurated which may sibly result in that gentieman’s finding himself | where Mr. Dumont now is—on the outmde. | Temperance people, as a rule, are very per- sistent. It ix further understood thet when Mr. Hazelton’s removal bay been accomplished | (if it be decided to work to that end) the | same people will devote their energies to secur | ing for Mr. Dumont the which they now | propose to have Mr. Hazelton vacate. Some of the| A POST KOUND THE WORLD. New Regulations to Govern the British i Mails for Letters and Parcels. | From the London Times. In Friday's Cazetie appeared a treasury war- Tant regulating the postal relations of this country with the rest of the world and taking effect as from the ist of July last. Until re- | cently such a reform would pave been an im- | possibility. The postal union, indeed, which j has been established many years, brought with it uniformity of rate and conditions over a wide area, But large and important countries, nota- bly come of our own colonies, long remained outside the union, or entered it only on terme which allowed them to maintain differential rates. A few years since not even the best-informed expert could have given « list of foreign and colonial rates of postage without some con: eration, and the et would. certainly have been along one. So complicated, indeed, were our international postal relations that they were set forth in more than 250 sets of regulations and warrants, the long list of which is appended, | for the purpose ‘of repeal, to the new docn- jment. Within recent years uniformity and simplicity have gradually tnken the place of | multifariousness and complexity, and - | rant now insued is the result of the change. | The rates of postage from the: told upon the fingers: the conditions of transit are governed by intelligible principles, appli- cable with but slight modifications throughout the world. A letter a | Kingdom to any colony or foreign countr: | the rate of 24; | A post card, which is, infact, an open letter, may be forwarded in like manner for a penny | And a packet of papers. whether printed or | written, not containing anything in the nature jet permonal correspondence, may be trans- | mitted to the most distant place at the rate of | ahalfpenny for every two ounces our own in- | land book-post rate. The same rates applies to packets of samples or patterns, Thus we may | packet post one baifpenny per two ounces Due difference only is observed between the | several kinds of pack: mirfimum postage i penny. for writ 1 | packet 2d. | Turning now to the conditions of transit, it ‘ase of a letter, howe rule involves only a fine of double the postage on delivery, while open packets, if posted with ont any stamp, will be detained and returned to r, disregard se coats to all | other partsare now #0 few that they can be | | say that there is a uniform rate for the apen- | real rule that postage must be prepasd. | a ——————————= == REMOVING THE GARBAGE.
