Editorial Notes.
National banks have generally
stopped paying Interest on deposits,
and for this reason their depositors are
seeking Investment which aggregates
millions every week.
The following named articles have
been submitted to the department re
cently, and ruled upon as unmailable,
viz: Cement, confectionery in any
form, eye glasses or spectacles, glass,
Jewelry having plus attached, salve,
sewing machine needles, soap, steel
pens, stove polish, sugar, tin dishes,
tooth powder. Postmasters are obliged
to refuse to receive into the mails any
of the above articles ; the manner In
which it is wrapped cannot be taken
Into consideration.
The Journal of Commerce, in a
sprightly article, calls attention to the
rapidity with which Japan has Ameri
canized her institutions. She has a
funded debt of $30,000,000, and pays
her Interest so promptly that her seven
per cents are worth 100 and 108, and
her nine per cents 111 and 113. She
has a system of national banks, a large
paper currency, and is about to Issue a
new loan of $15,500,000 at six per cent,
to be taken from her own people only,
no foreigners being allowed to sub
scribe. Her money is decimal, and
her "yen" is equal to our dollar.
She has railroads, telegraphs, light
houses, custom houses, public schools
and a post office, all on the American
pattern, and in fact, first set going by
Americans. Her exhibition at Paris is
excellent and quite up to the highest
standard.
Since the new law regulating the
salaries of postmasters at the smaller
offices by the amount of stamps can
celed, instead of the amount of stamps
sold, has gone into effect, a marked
diminution has been observed at the
post office department in the number
of stamps ordered by postmasters of
this class. It is stated at tue depart
ment that no exact estimate can be
formed of the amount which will be
saved in salarim t ouch postmasters
until the reports for the quarter end
ing September 30, 1878, shall have
been received andaudited, but that the
Indications are that it will amouut to a
very large sum. Upon the basis of re
quisitions already received for stamps
for the present quarter, there are
many offices where, under the old law,
the salury has grown nearly to the
presidential standard, that will drop
back to the old figures of twelve dol
lars per annum.
Commissioner Williamson, of the
Land Office, in speaking of the deci
sion of Secretary Schurz, said: "I
cannot estimate the amount of land
that will be thrown open to homestead
settlement .under the Secretary's de
cision. There are hundreds of thous
ands of acres, I am sure. But there is
not one acre in forty of the lands
which have not already been disposed
of by the companies that is worth any
thing for agricultural purposes. Thous
ands of acres granted the companies
have not even been surveyed. There
is a larger area of worthless land now
owned by the companies than all the
lands we have patented to them since
the grants were made. ,On the line of
the Union Pacific Road as far as the
Black Hills the land grants have been
surveyed. From the Black Hills west
to the California line very little sur
veying has been done. The Kansas
Pacific land-grants have been sur
veyed. There is considerable good
land for agricultural purposes remain
ing unsold on the line of tho Kansas
Pacific. There are also some farming
lands In the Union Pacifio grants
which may be pre-empted. The cli
mate is preferable and the soil better
adapted to wheat raising in Kansas
than farther north. I believe that the
advantages accruing to settlers under
the Secretary's decision will be far less
Important than is generally expected.
The area thrown open to pre-emption
is large, but the quantity of good
land upon it remaining unsold is com
paratively small.

A Wicked Story by Hugh Hastings.
Hugh Hastings' latest story is that
an old subscriber wrote to him to stop
his newspaper on account of his hos
tility to Governor Tilden. Hugh re
plied by letter : " My antagonism
began in my youth, when from the
window of Erastus Coming's store in
Albany I saw old Moses Tilden and his
son come Into town from Lebanon to
sell herbs, and that boy Sam was
pointed out to me as the chap who
sold Job Gould, the herb doctor,
grated turnips for horseradish. I
think Sam Tilden has been selling tur.
nips for horseradish ever since." The
subscriber renewed.
Dr. John Deshee, a prominent
Kentucky physician, was killed at
Donerally, Ky., by a train. .
Notes of News.
Mexicans are retaliating for
American raids, by shootlngrocklessly
in to the border towns.
Thomas Darque fell one hundred
feet down a coal shaft at Stotibenville,
Ohio, and was killed.
Two villains convinced a New
York Central conductor that they were
conducting a lady passenger to the
Insane asylum at Utlca, where ngainst
her protest, she was taken from the
train, robbed and outraged.
A report was received at St, Paul,
Minn., that a fanner near Faribault
shot aud Instantly killed two tramps,
whom ho caught In the act of setting
Are to the harvesting machine In his
wheat field. He gave himself up, but
was instantly released.
Emll Hanson, a convict In the
Illinois Penitentiary, has been released
because, as Governor Cullom said In
granting the pardon, he Is "afflicted
with scrofula, which is offensive and
delcterous in Its effects on the prison
hospital." He says that he will get
out a patent on scrofula and send it
around for sale among the various
prisons.
While sleeping in a room at the
residence of Alex. Hooper, in Roane
county, West Va., a woman named
Ella Fairburn, rose and picking up her
four-year-old daughter, broke its neck
on the head-board of the bed, She
was arrested and placed In jail. There
are charges against her for the murder
of two of her children. She is de
scribed as being very illiterate.
Maggie Berridge, tbifty-three
years old, living a short distance in the
country, near Gallipolls, Ohio, under
took to kindle the fire In the kitchen
stove with carbon oil. She was found
shortly after by a neighbor who was
passing, leaning against the garden
fence in a dying condition, with her
clothes burned entirely off. She lived
about one hour after the occurrence.
An awful scene occurred after the
recent race meeting at Beverly, near
Sheffield, England. Twenty men
broke open the bar in the grand stand
and set to work to drink up the large
store of winecontained therein. Eight
of them were found by the police In
the morning lying senseless on the
scene of their orgies. One was dead.
Six more were discovered stupified in
the neighboring villages.
That remarkable barber, Burleigh,
of Capron, HI., who called together
the citizens of the town, delivered an
infidel lecture surpassing Ingersoll's
eloquent clap-trap and then, in the
presence of his audience, shot himself
through the brain, didn't call together
the citizens, didn't deliver an infidel
lecture and didn't kill himself. But
he got up the yarn for $7.50 aud the
Chicago Timet.
Tho attention of the veteran
aeronaut Prof. Wise having been
called to a challonge in the Cincinnati
Enquirer of July 23, from one aero
nant to another, the professor had
published the following challenge in
the Journal published at Louisiana,
Mo.; "I will compete with any man
in the world for a balloon contest, as to
distance and flotation, and to make a
given point 1,200 miles east of place
of departure say from Kansas City,
Mo."
A party of masked men, variously
estimated at from 40 to 500, rode into
Monroe, La., and forcibly took from
the parish jail four colored men who
were confined there charged with mur
der. They took them to the court
house square and hanged them to the
limb of an oak tree. An inquest was
held on the four bodies and the jury
returned a verdict: "Thatsaid parties
came to their death by hanging and
that the same was done by parties un
known." The coach which left Deadwood for
Cheyenne, on July 23d, was stopped
at 2 o'clock in the morning two miles
north of Lightning Creek by six
armed men. The Rev. J. W. Pickett,
the only passenger, was not molested,
the robbers turning their attention to
the mail sacks, which they robbed of
registered letters and other valuable
matter." They also broke open the
treasure boxes, but found nothing.
They were not at all excited over their
work, which occupied them fully half
an hour, and as soon as they were
through they ordered the driver to
goon.
A special dispatch from Cleveland
states that on Wednesday last fifteen
girls employed In Madame Somers'
dressmaking establishment had milk
for dinner. During the afternoon
they were all more or less sick, includ
ing the Madame. None of them were
so ill, however, as to be unable to re
turn to work the next day, except two
sisters, Mary and Nettie Divitt. On
Thursday both were dangerously ill.
Physicians who were called In pro
nounced them cases of poisoning.
Mary died In great agong. Nettie is
still alive, but is in a very precarious
condition. The coroner has taken the
case in charge and ordered an analysis
of the milk.
A special dispatch to the Timet
from Capron, 111., says : "A dramatic
suicide occurred there on Tuesday
night. George W. Burleigh, a barber,
published a card last Sunday Inform
ing the citizens that he would on the
evening of the 23d Inst, deliver a lec
ture in Thornton hall, and at its con
clusion shoot himself through the
forehead. The price of admission
would be one dollar, and the amount
realized to be Invested In the works of
Huxley, Tyndall and Darwin for the
town library. At the appointed time
the hall was crowded, and after deliv
ering an infidel lecture of wonderful
power he suddenly drew a derringer,
placed it to his forehead, fired and fell
lifeless into the arms of two Mends.
Ten years ago a Piute boy of
twelve years was captured by General
Crook west of Stein Mountain, Nevada.
He saw the dead bodies of his chief
tain father and mother lying near the
wigwam, and It was with a heavy
heart that he went to work In a San
Francisco store when taken thither.
Nevertheless he learned the english
tongue, adopted San Francisco man
ners, became n scholar and Joined
hands with the peacemaking brethren
of the church. Not long since Gen
eral McDowell told him to go among
the Indians and counsel them to bury
the tomahawk. He visited the war
riors of Chief Natchez, and there found
both his father and mother, who had
feigned death, and thus escaped the
soldiers.
