De Long and his party without doubt perished miserably six months ago 1n the desert waste between the mouths of the Lena CoLoxapo, at least, seems to have no doubt of Mr. Teller's fitness for the interior department, and the state press overflows with approval of the appointment and notices of the life of the new secretary. Henry M. Teller was born in Allegany county, New York, May 23, 1930, For seven years of his younger life he alternated between teaching and attending school. At the age of 25 he entered the office of Judge Martin Grover, of Angelica, to begin the study of law, Three years later he moved to Morri- son, the county seat of Whiteside county, Illinois, where he began the practice of his profespion. In 1861 he went to Central City, Colorado, where he has since resided. He never held & public office until he was elected as a republican to the United States sen- ate on the admission to the union of Colorado as a state, He took his soat December 4, 1876, and was re-elected December 11 of the same year. His term would have expired March 3, 1883, Mr, Teller has been a member of the republican party since its or- Kanization, although previously he acted with the democrats,. He made his first public speech, which was for Fremont, in the old court house in Angelica, N. Y, In 1860 he took the stump for Lincoln in Illinois, Mr. Toller is u large real estate and mine w@waer in Colorado, OHEAPER POSTAGE. Omaha Bee Nothing is more certain than that cheap postage stimulates correspon- dence and multiples the busiuess of the postoffices. Rowland Hill's re- furm in the administration of Engli postoffice affairs in 1840, revolation- ized the postal business of the civil- jzed world. In our own country every stop to cheap postage rates has been followed by an increase of busi- ness, which has more than maintained the average of the previous income of the department. In 1790 it costs 36} centa to carry a letter from Savannah to New York, For nearly two gen- erations a twelfth of that sum has suf- ficed to poy for such service. With the cheaper rates of postage has come a marvelous increase of business. Then 800,000 leiters were oarried in ayear. Now over 800,000,000 letters are transported annually in this coun- try, in addition to a vast quantity of printed matter. Roguery and gross mismanagement have alone combined to prevent our postal department from being self sustaining during the past four years. The reform admivistration of Mr. James brought cheaper postage within lities of the near future, The auditor of the treasury for the postoffice department has prepared a statement of the receipts and expeudi tures of that department tor the quar- ter ending Decomber 31, 1881, com- pared with the corresponding quarter of the previous year. From this state- ment it appears that the revenues for that quarter of tho year 1881 were $10,620,400 90; expenditures, §9,941,- 976.70, leaving a surplus of receipts over expenditures of $678,424.20, This, the auditor says, is a remarkable showing, as it is the first quarter since the close of the war in 18G5 that the revenues of the department have ex-| ceeded the expenditures, For the corresponding quarter of 1880 there was a deficiency of $658,015.04, The revenues for this quarter are exceeded by those of 1881 by the sum of $1,- 449,626.01. The 1ncrease of expendi- tures during the last (uarter was $113,- 186.81, whenco it appears that the re- coipts have increased in a much great- er ratio than the expenditures. The amount expended for star route ser- vice during the last quarter of 1881 was $1,353,816.98, a reduction of $376,629 53 from theamount expended m 1880. The amount expended for railway transportation during thesame quarter was 8157,223.73 more than in 1880 ; the amount paid for steamboat transportation was $44,411.12 less than in 1880 ; and the amount ex- pended for the use of postal cars was $10,825.17 more than for the corres- ponding period of the previous year. It is a question whethcr the time has not come for a lightening of postage rates, reduction of letter postage from three to two cents a” half ounce would give a new impulse to the al- ready prolific American correspon- denge pen. Cheaper postage at the present rate would ba much better than an increase of the weight limit, and the retention of the three cent rate, ——————— Ir is an old saying that the views of the heir apparent to tha crown are very different from those of the heir apparent when seated on the throne. President Arthur has evidently had reason to greatly modify his opinions on the patronage question since he left the presidency of the senate and became the chiet executive of the na- tion. A few days ago he was waited upon by a prominent member of the house, who insisted that it was all important to have a certain man ap- pointed postmaster in the district, In reply the president is reprasented to have said: ‘‘Whatever may be your feelings in this matter, and although the subject is of great personal inter- est to you, you must remember that I have the appointment, in the end, to make, and the responsibility is with me. I cannot concede to members of congress the abso- lute right to dictate appontments in their disiricts, 14 is apparently the ambition of every member of con- gress to be deputy president in his region. T do not intend to be dictated to in the future. I am willing to take the representations of members of congress as I would those of any other reputable leading citizens, but I do not intend to be guided arbitrarily by the demands of members of congress in making sppointments.” Of course thera is a great deal of sound sense in this position, which it must not be forgotten was Garfield's position in the Robertson contest. The only singular circumstance 1s the rapid con- version of the president to the views of his lamented predecessor under the tremendous pressure and worry of im- portunate oftice soekers and their friends. —— Tuxk new council has made a very good beginning in t* choice of offi- cers. Mr. Howmer Btull, the new president of the council, is a gentle- man who enjoys the popular esteem and confidence in an eminent degree and 18 in every respect well fitted for the responsible position, Mr. Jowett has discharged the | I laborious and complex duties of clerk during the past year with marked ability aud fidelity and his re-election is & merited compliment, | _;Am BOYDS ANNUAL Mayor Boyd's first annual report is a creditable document. Mayor Boyd has the rare faculty of present- ing a compact array of facts and figures with his views of public polioy expressed in clear and terse terms. Quite apart from the fattering ex- hibit of the cities financial condition and substantial proofs of rapid and solid growth, Mayor Boyd makes some very timely and excellent recom- mendations to the city council, which will meet the approval of a ]arge majority of our tax payers and citizens, We have neither time nor space now to enter into a detailed an- alysis of the mayor's message, be- cause its text reached usat alate hour last night. Suffice it to say, however, that we heartily concur tions and recommendations Mayor Boyd has made, and shall cheerfully second any effort the council may make to carry them into practical ef- fect, Murder in Friendville. Corresdondence of Tre Brx. Wirsur Neb., April 11.—The news arrived hete this morning of a murder having teen'committed in Friendville, this county, yesterday. A Mr. Ald- rich of that place had some difficnity with a boy by the name of George Radford, aged about 15, when the boy struck him on the head with a mallet fracturing his skull in horrible manner, from which he cannot re- cover. The boy escaped. Judge weaver is holding court here and has done a large amount of busi- ness the past week.

Commins, W, T., April 7.—Once more we are excited over a new strike. Two of our school boys, in the inter- val of school hours, thought they must do as the men did and so they struck out with pick and shovel pros- pecting. They brought home some rock which had a striking resemblance to that found by Mr. Frazier, of Col- orado, some time during March, and which made such a stir among miners. Dr. Baker, the father of one of the lads, sent samples to Salt Lake City to McVicker and received the astound- ing returns of $10,189 in gold and $10.05 in silver. We heve heard that ‘‘children and fools always tell the truth,” and they have all the luck, although -Mr. Frazier, who was so fortunate in his find, is by no means to be classed with the fools. Ouar camp is by no mesns 1dle, although we have the biggest snow storm of the winter, and the prospectors are numerously en- couraged by the new results. The grass is some two or three inches high and stock is fat, and even now olmost ready for the market. Our new hotel is now ready for guests and had some ten comers yesterday.

Mr. Simmons’ Account of His Attempt to Cross the English Channel, New York Herald. It will be remembered that the at- tempt in Colonel Bride and Mr. Sim- mons to cross the English Channel 1n a balloon tailed. In a description of the voyage Mr. Simmons says: ‘‘We started under conditions so favorable that neither I nor Colonel Btide felt the least misgiving as to the result, After _one of the mcst successful as- cents T have ever made, with wind and light and everything in our favor, we got fairly away at 11:30. As we passed over Earl Sondes’ estate at Nacking- ton, the anerold gave our altitude at 118 feet, and the sun was very hot. At 11:35 we were a mile southeast of Lower Harded Rectory. At 11:36 we had risen to an elevation of 300 feet, and were three and a half miles on our way. At 11:37 our altitude was 1,600 feet. A minute later we passed over a magnificent lake. At 11:40 we were coming down again. We were over a field, and got 8o low that we could distinctly hear some boys .'ery out, ‘They are coming down on our fleld,” I consequently discharged ballast, and we shot up to 400 feet. At 11:42 we found our- selves again descending,but by throw- ing out more ballast. we wenc up to the same height as before, and re- mained at that altitude for three min- utes. . We were advised before start- ing to keep low, and we tried the force of the different currents. At 11:50 we lowered the grappling-iron and went up to 1,800 feet. Up to this moment the atmosphere was per- fectly clear in all directions. At 11:59 vessels out atsea were in full [J view, looking like small pilol balloons in,the air, and not appearing to be on the water atall. We could also see the Goodwin Sands, which presented the appearance of seles in the water. At 12 o'clock we had Dover in full view, and heard the noon gun fired from the castle. At 12:01 our course was straight for Folkestone. Our al- titude now was 2,100 feet. Up to 12:04 I had not had occasion to touch the valve. At 12:20 we were mid- way between: Dover and Folkestone, or on the western side of both towns,”’ Mr. Simmcns then describes what he terms A PERFECT PHOTOGRAPH Of the balloon and car soon on a clowd which had then surrounded them, the effect produced being so remarkable as to strike the voyagers with a feel- ing ofawe. ‘‘We could see our own reflection,” continues Mr. Simmuns, “and every detail, even to the unty- ing of & knot which 1 was engagad in doing. It was a perfect portrait. There was at this moment a heautiful rainbow surrounding the car—not the balloon—about ten feet in diameter, and the beauty of the whole scene was strikingly grand. At 12:30 we had gained an altitude of 2,400 feer, At 12:31 Colonel Bride asked, ‘Are you satisfied with everything” and I re- glied, ‘Yes!" At 12:40 we were over hakespeare’'s] Clif,. We [observ- ed that the sea] was very green. We passed over a large residence on the summit of the Clift, and on its flat roof were assembled a number of of people who cheered us. We were not more than five hundred feet above their heads, and we conversed with —— A Lion Tamer’s Death, Levant Herald, From the Australian papers we learn that a shocking occurrence took place at Albury recently at Wilson's circus and menagerie. As the show was being packed up to go across the river some country visitors crowded around the lion’s cage, and a man named McPherson, one of his keepers, who was suffering from the effects of liquor, put his arm inside the bars, Prince, one of the quietest of the ani- mals, caught the limb and pulled it through the bars up to the shoulder, and bit it clean off at the elbow. The man, who bled terribly, fell to the ground insensible, while the lion gnawed at the detached limb, Ed- ward, the lion petformer, immediately made the animal give up the limb, which he secured. The man was taken to the hospital, where he soon died TOMMY LE®'S ARRIVAL. . A Festive Ocoasion Among the Celee- tials of New City. The festive gathering was made up of member of the Loon Yo Tong, or United Chinese Brethre=, who were invited to ‘‘eat, drink and be exeeed- ingly merry” by Tom Lee, of No. 4 Mott street, whose particular case of joy consists in the fact that he 1s the fathar of a rnu-in% baby boy, who will hereafter bear the name and in- herit the money when the prover time comes. Tom Lee isthe best kvown and richest Mongolian in the city, being worth in the neighbor- hood of £€50,000. Hiswife isa pret. ty little American lady of German de- scent, who isas proud of the new ac- quisition as her liege lord is. The couple have one other child, a two- year old girl named Rosy. Yester- day little Tom, wrapped up in baby clothes, was the object of much solici- tation, and a group of women from a surrounding neighborhood stood at the door of the Oriental father's house, clamoring for a peep at the hero of the banquet. ‘‘Och, bad luck to them,” said a withered look- ing dame, ‘‘but it's queer doings ha§ been goin’ on to-day. Shure they've been catching rats for a month and its lashin's g of aiting they'll have. But she was mistaken. There never was a more tempting and daint- fer meal spread than that which was laid out upon the shining plates and saucers at the banquet yesterday. Apples, oranges, vegetables, duck, chicken, crisp morsels of Mongolian meats, salads, spiced preserves, rich jams, confectionery, besides a scorce of little appetizing knick-knacks, and over all there pervaded a gratifying odor of well brewed tea—it might be ealled a [@perfumery. The featers who turned their celestial toes under the banquet table were clad il va- ets of brown serge and *‘sues” of silk, caps of coarest wool and those made of hair woven into the most intricate designs, shirts of sky blue and no shirts at all, pantaloons of every con- ceivable description, and shoes that had soles from half an inch to half a foot in thickness. But no sunflower, no_lily, adorned the luxurious scene. John Chinaman has no wstheticism in his soul. But_the walls blazed with barbaric splendor. Banners of blue and red and yellow, covered with mysterious hieroglyphics in gold,hung all over the room and glittered in the gaslight. A large picture depended from the wall. It represented some mighty Mongolian dignitary, covered with an abundance of red paint and tinsel, receiving an infant from the arms of what was. evidently supposed to be a woadrously beautiful womafi according to .the Chinese idea of comeliness. The feast lasted about two hours, and_then the company lit cigars, shook hands, and departed, some of them remembering to call and pay their respects to the chubby little baby on whose aczount all the ceremony was being made, Coughs and looked.
