Afleldnfver before attempted to be covered
kas been selectod by Mr. Rees, and he bag suc
ceeded In throwing out a number of small lights
ihlch Illumine without entirely enlightening
it. It wouU teem as th nigh he settled upon no
ixed Bjsfc'ni In arranging his wor, but pitch
forked together all the ra material whioh
came vithin his control. While he presents to
a lew new fact, yet the chief merit consists
in laving tn one volume what was heretofore
eaitered through newspapers, and knoffn only
b oral acquaintance to our people. The Inde
finite title of the book favors this, making It a
sort of universal repository lor everything, from
"Franklin's Orave" to the frankintr privilege
We believe, that, so far the Post
Office and postal system are courerned,
he has trented of them very thoroughly,
bnt in a manner entirely too desultory to be
lecomineDded. The writer Deems with the
origin of writing, a subject on which he is
evident! in the dark, and comes by a natural
transition on to the commencement of the
system of Post Offices which no abound. Of
these fce spesks intelligently, alihough in many
cases we ennnot agree wi'h his views. For
instance, on page 339 be favors the abolition of
the law ol 1825, which authorizes "every printer
f newspapers to send one paper to each and
every other printer ol newspapers within the
United States lree of postage." He argues that
the system should be abolished, as it gives but
small privileges to the publisher who is not
entitled to any, and at the same time Involve
an enormous expense to the United States. The
taxes are paid by the people, and If those
privileges awarded to the people be increased
thereby, who should object to the expense?
Every one reads a newspaper, and
Vhen it is remembered that every copy
Of a good paper is compiled of extracts
taken from hundreds of sources, the import
ance of having every facility for securing them
becomes apparent. If the tree law was abolished
a paper would be restricted in its exchanges,
Only the best would be taken, and many of the
Occasional good things which appear in a gene
rally bad paper would be lost. It is, in fact, the
aame as though a copy of every newspaper was
sent free to every house la our land, for they get
the cream of its contents for their three cent in a
daily paper. It is tar more for the public good
than tor the publisher's good, that the present
excellent law operates. The whole work, how
ever, is interesting, and should be read by those
Wfi nut?? :re desultory literature. The follow
ing sketch of the Railroad Postal system 13
worthy of republication:
"Ihls systom, wh.eh was suggested by the cele
brated Rowland- Hill, oricrkaied at a period in
' English 1)0-till history when the requirements of
trade and commerce demanded a revisal ot tho
code. Perhaps no man was better qua itJea for the
purpose than was Mr ilill. In ISod railroad pose
offices were in use lor mail bans. Each railway com-
1 pany provided a car, when desired to do so by tue
I'ostinas'er-Ueneral, tor the exclusive use of the
mails, these cars were fitted np with boxes to
facilitate the distiibution and reception of the maiis.
On the London and Liverpool Road (1839) It required
the constant and active employment ol two clorks to
assort, receive, and hand uut the mails; such is tho
' rapidity of travel, and so numerous aie the post
offices upon iliis route, butaequently thse cars
were used lor the distribution of letters in lare
Cities, by assorting them on the routes. Not omy
were such distributions made on the cars tor a 1 tun
principal stations on the lino of the railroads before
the arrival of the cars, bnt distribution tor the
offices connected with tne stations, and tnere.ore in
cidentally lor the entire district ol country through
which the lines are in operation. It was some time
before our po'tal department could be made tennble
ot the nece ssity of tue system tn our country. Per
haps no other country in tue wor.d possessed a
larger amount ot railroad travel and postal extent
than ours, and yet the spirit ot old f'oeyisin was
bard to be subdued In tne encounter Youua Ajuenca
bad with it on this subject, nor was ft until the cars
were almost forced upon the department (experi
mentally) that they were first introduced. These
experiments were made on the routes from Chicauo,
Illinois, to Clinton, Davenport, aud i)u mque,
Iowa, with the mo-t satisfactory results, a wore
thoe between Washington and Mew York. The
attention 01 1 he public was called to this new postal
sysiem by tfie Postmaster-Geuera; (William Douni
son) in his report lor tao fiscal year 1861, who stated
"that cars requisite for the pirpose are prepared for
one ds,y line between New York and Washington,
and, by mean of clerks taken temporarily from the
Post Offices at Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia,
and Aew York, letters intended tor distribution at
either of thee points are distributed in the cars, and
so arranged that they can be despatched without
delay on connecting route.'
"Among the railroads upon which these cars are
p'aced are the Pennsylvania Central, bet we u Phila
delphia and Pittsburg-; in tact, the system is now so
tnlly estab islied tnat it has oecoino au essen lal ele
ment in the whole organization of tue postal depart
ment. Those employed in tho several Post Utlices

new sys'em, can fudy appreciate the advanirges re
suiting from it, as merchants and others already ac

"Mail matter irom ever; direction will reach our
citizens much earner in mot cases several hours
sooner, this will show at once how essential to our
merchants 1b this new improvement; nor can we at
this early pi nod ot 11s introduction calculate all the
advantages 'ikely to result from it. The idea of a
Post Office performing its distributing duties on a
railway, going at the rate ot thirty miles an hour, is
one of those scintillations of genius which on y
emits light once in a century tnat century the
present."

the following extracts:

English political history is lull of nicknames.
Thus, taking them at random, we find Ueorgo II
called the Capam, because he was supposed to be
good for noti'ing e se and because as such he had
conducted himself with gallantry at Dettingen ;
Uoorge III, Farmer beorge, on account ot his love
for farming ; ihoEarlot Alar calied Bobbing John,
on account of his frequent changes between the Stu

James tMuart, Earl Murray, baste rd brother ol
Mary. Queen of Scots, was called the Good Kegout;
Cromwell, Old Noil; the Earl ot Warwick, the
King Maker; and James X, who disgusted the
world with his sickening lavontism, always oailed
Charles I "Babie Charles," and th Ouke of Buck

amusing at this time to recall a nickname of Lord

hence called Finality John. He is also known as

From a pleasant and carefully prepared
article in the Galaxy on "Torturing the Alpha
bet," we select the following paragraphs:
Authors have occasionally amused themselves
by constructing topograms, or writings in which
a certain letter is entirely excluded. We are
told ol a Latin prose work 6f FulRentlus, in
twenty-three chapters, according to the order
of the Latin alphabet, in the lirst of which a
was omitted, m the second 6, and so on to the
last letter. The criticism of Jatui, the Persian
author, on a poem of this kind, in which the
letter Miff did not occur, was: "It would be
better if all the letters were le 1 b out." Yet, per
haps, this kind of literature misht be rendered
usetul lor persons who, on account of some im
pedimentof speech, are unable to pronounce
certain sounds.
Punch announces a new -volume, entitled
"Lisplnga from Low Latitudes," edited by Lady
Dutlerin. The lirst poem begins:
"Tho thplendld the Thummer thun th'yines,
Thweet thunth'y ine theemih tholomn to theo,
When the Thouth through the thtorm-tbyaken
pinoih,
Thweeptb a thong to the tho U of the free."
Suppose a lover to whom s was bo terribly
desired to serenade his lady; with what a re
lieved and pratetul soul would he seize upon tho
following beautiful song, In which the obnoxious
letter has no place:
"Oh ! come to-night ; for naught can charm
The weary tiiu j when thou'rt away.
Oh 1 come ; the gentle moon hath thrown
O'er bower aud hall her quivering ray.
The heat her-boll hath mildly flung,
From off her fairy leaf, the bright
And diamond dew-drop that had hung
Lpou tnat leaf a gem ot light.
1 hen come, love, come
"To night the liquid wave hath not
Illumined by the moon lit-beam
Plaving upon the lake beneath,
Like folio in an Autumn dream
The liquid wave hath not, to-night,
In a 1 her moonlit pride, a fair
Gift like to them that on thy hp
JLo breathe and laugh, and home it there
Toon come, love, come I
"To-night! to night! my gentle one,
The flower-bearing Amra tne
Doth long, with tragraut moan, to meet '
The iove-lip of the honey-bee.
But not the Amra tree can long
To greet the bee, at evening light,
With halt the deep, fond love I long
To meet my Naina here to-night.

The following poem on "Incontrovertible
Facts," contains no vowel but 0;
"So monk too good to rob, or cog, or plot,
No tool se gross to bolt tSootob colloos hot.
From Donjon tops no Oronooko rolls.

The following stanza contains the whole al
phabet, and may be used as an exercise in
teaching young children their letters:
"God gives the grazing ox his meat,
And quickly heais the sheen's low cry,

(should Joy to lift his praises high."
The acrostic is now mostly confined to love.
11 tters, In which the ardent if not verdant
swain manages to introduce tbc name of his
lady down the outside wall of his vorse. To
render it perfectly intelligible, the-followlug
lines are sometimes added In conclusion:
"If the forer olng's read with care,
It names the latest of tho lair,"
Yet the acrostic must bo of ancient origin, for
a copy of Greek verses is given in the lite of
Const ant ine by Gusebius, Ihshop of Cwsarea,
who died A. I. 340, which he states are by the
Erythnran Sybil, and which are an acrostic,
reading, "Jesus Christ, tho Son of God, the
Saviour."
Such ingenious tricks as concealing and yet
retaining enduringly the name ol the author of
a poem by an acrostic, or beginning each chap
ter with successive letters ot the alphabet, or
with some acrostic, have been occasional in
literature. Boccaccio has a poem of ftlty cantos,
which is an acrostic; and Lord North, in the
Court of, James I, wrote a set of sonnets, each
beginning wi'h a successive letter of the alpha
bet. Sir John Davis wrote twenty-six short
poems, euro, of which is an acrostic on tho
words, "Elizabeth Regina." Desmond Ryan
recently wrote in the Lyndon Musical, World
this acrostic on Adelina Patti:
"Art and Genius burn within hor,
Dearest londiing of the Graces I
Kv'ry charm is centred in her
Like a Poet's page her face isl
In her voice the lark is thrilling
Now to weep the heart is willing
And now with Joy and light 'tis filling!
Praised, admired, two worlds all hall her
Artless, pare, no tongues assail hert
Treasured friends can never fail herl
fe.l me, sooth, whose praie all that is?
Isay, Ademka Patti'b!"
The acrostic may be written at the end of the
poem, or to read Irom the second letter or word
instead ot the first, or the like. A short time
ago the Ohio Statesman printed an acrostic in
troducing it as a "patriotic effusion," which
pionounced the editor "a great Jackass, and a
vile old rat to boot."
Edgar A. Poe, who had a remarkable talent
for whatever in literature required constructive
dexterity, made "everal curious crjpto-anagraras,
whose key-word consisted of the hr.-t letter of
the first line, the second ot the second, and soon.
Letter puzzles are sometimes 'ery entertain
ing. But the simplest sort of riddle in the world
to answer is that which commences alter this
fashion:
"I'm found in the sun, but not in the moon,"
and which has some letter for an answer. It is
no excuse for it that Byron hue written an ex
cellent one on the letter II. Some letter puzzles
are, however, made quite curious by a diagram
matt ic arrangement. Such a one is:

Charles Lanman, author of the "Dictionary
of Congress," published in last week's Hound
Table a delightful sketch of the late W. W.
Beaton, of the National Intelligencer. He con
cludes with the following pleasant remi
niscence: "Perhaps the most intimate friend that Daniel
Webster had in Washington was Mr. Seaton.
There was no one, out of his own latmly, to
whom the great statesman was so warmly at
tached. A part of almost every evening, when
not engaged at home or elsewhere, was spent by
him in the family sitting-room of Mr. Seaton,
with the ladiea of his family, or tete-a-tete with
him in winter at the fireside, or in even
ing strolls in summer. The letters and
familiar notes that passed between them
are numerous and interesting; and, as the
eyes of the world are at this moment
especially fixed upon Austria, we may with pro
priety give the following incident. The day
before the famous Hulsemann letter was trans
mitted to Congress, Mr. Webster sent it to Mr.
Seaton to read. Alter it was returned, aud on
the morning it was to be sent to the Senate, it
occurred to Mr. Seaton that the word "patch,"
as compared to a great empire, wouU appear
rather undiplomatic or beueaih the dignity of
such a Slate paper, and like an attempt to be
little an adversary Government, and therefore
he despatched a note to Mr. Webster suggesting,
if not too late, the substitution of another
word. He received by his messenger the
following reply :
" 'Dear Colonel : The deed was done before I got
yonr note; but patch moans a small piece ol ground

Yellow-covered literature is tabooed in Cuba.
The second circular General Lersundi addressed
to the officials of Cuba confirms General Dulce's
recent one, forbidding the reading "of books
and periodicals of exaggerated ideas" in a loud
yoice to large assemblies, in houses, shops, etc.
He not only considers such books pernicious,
but the public reading of them in a loud voice
much more so, as it raises disputes, and inflames
the mind. He, therefore, extends General
Dulce's decree, which only applied lo Havana,
to all otber parts of the Island, where he learns
that this bud custom, like all bad customs, Is
rapidly extending. The reading of books aud
periodicals of exaggerated ideas, in a loudvoiee,
to assemblies of people, is now lorbidden
throughout the "ever laithlul Island."
Miss Edna Dean Troctor, of the Indepen
dent, is the eubket of a brief notice in the
Alhenaum, in connection with her lately pub.
lished volumes ol verse. "Miss Proctor," It
says, "is a patriotic American, whose lays
embody various episodes in the late war, or
phases of social life connected therewith. She
has the enthusiasm which springs from moral
convictions, and no small power of bringing
before the reader tho scenes which she
describes." The critic then quotes a portion of
her poem, "The Mississippi," and says: "In
this poem, as throughout the book, there is an
overplush of fervor and epithet which a matured
imagination, if sound, would restrain. If, how
ever, the writer be yet young, this abundant
blossoming of her intellect may be regarded as
a hopeful Indication."
The question regarding the authorship of
those popular and beautiful verses entitled,
"Rock me to Sleep, Mother," is again revived.
Mr. Alex. M. W. Ball, of Elizabeth, N. J., claims,
and documents in his possession prove, that as
early as 1857 he composed and circulated among
his lriends a poem comprising not only the iden
tical verses now so popular as a song, but sev
eral in addition. No other claimant, we believe,
datee back the composition of the song earlier
than 1800, In which year it was first set to music.
