McAnulty, and Neal Campbell, the two ugainst whom the evidence uppears to bear, and Job VVhitchouse, Hurry Hubbard, Edward Porter, and Patrick Cawley. witnesses, were present, also a number of friends of the accused young men. The principal thing brought out by the hearing wus that us has been intimated before, the act In tearing down the ting was not done in any spirit of in sult to the emblem, but was a mere material misdeed. Cawley swore that he did not know who It was tore down the Hag. He ad mitted beins in the party 'and that the accused prisoners were his cuin . panlons at the time of the act. Mc Anulty suid upon oath that he did not have anything to do with it; he admitted that he ran. "Why did you run if you knew noth ing about it?" was asked. McAnulty answer was that he knew that some one was going to be arrested. Job Vhitehouse gave the most straight for ward testimony of any. He suid that Campbell was the person who tore down the Hug and thnt McAnulty and Campbell afterward dragged it about eight yards on the sklewulk. He, "VVhitehouse, picked up the Hag and was folding it when Otllcer Hart came upon the scene. Campbell swore that he did not do it: neither did he run.

IX Filan, a Catholic priest of Philadelphia, lectured last evening In St. Patrick's church on Jackson street to an audience which more thnn half filled the large lecture room. The subject of the discourse, "Light and Shade of Irish Character." was In It self suggestive of entertainment nnd the reverend speaker was eloquent and ' thrilling' In his discussion of it. He uncovered the clouds and sunshine of Irish life In the native land, telling pointed anecdotes to illustrate what he cnlled the "bright, sparkling wit and pure exhuberant humor" of the race. He mentioned Swift, Ctirrnn, Hherldan and O'Connor of the most famous of Irish wit and showed the style pe culiar to eah. "Ireland lucks unity," was one of the speaker's sentences in gently touching upon whatever faults there are In the Irish character. To this lack of concentrated effort he as rillinl the dependency of the land. Father Filan also denounced intem perance us a great evil of Ireland. "Not that the Irish drink more," said the speaker, "but when an Irishman gets intoxicated he does not quietly sleep It off like the other men, hut he wants the world to know of It."

From the Popular Science News. Professor Emmons, one of the most skilled metallurgists in the country, claims that in the reduction of silver the molecules are so subdivided as to differ so materially from that metal that they can no longer be regarded as the same substance, but a new one an.l apparently the parent of both gold nnd silver, or the raw material out of which by a different arrangement of molecu les, either gold or silver Is constructed. Working on thts theory he finds that this new. metallic substance can be ag gregated Into molecules of greater density than silver, and precisely cor responding with gold In color. In weight, so as to answer every test of the United States 'Mint as gold. In fact, he says it is gold, though manu factured from silver, c,f a3 much pu rity and value as that ever obtained In any other way. With further ex periments on a large scale he expects that the process of manufacturing goU from sliver will be very materially cheapened. At present he gets about four ounces of gold from six of silver. This would seem to indicate that the present number of elements ns well aa our chemistry of metals would hav to be revised. If Professor Emmons Is not mistakenbi his experiments. If the rinby Is Cutting Teeth. Mrs. Wlnslow's Soothlne- Rvnin i,.. been used for over fifty years by mil.

POSTAL BSl'INESS CO.UPAIIED. English Receipts Pretty High, but American Receipts Much Higher. From the Sun: The official report of the English Postmaster-General shows a large In crease In the postal business of the United Kingdom, but compared with the figures of the United States the British statistics fail to, show a gain large enough to indicate any challenge to the supremacy of the United States among nations in postal matters. The revenue of the English post offices, which Includes also the revenue from telegrams, a government monopoly in England, was $70,000,000 last year. From actual and exclusive post office business the English government received last year Jiiii.OOO.OOO, whereas the revenue of the American post office department for the same year was $71,0c0,000. The postal revenue of Germany, according to the last official figures at hand, was $60,000,000 for the year covered, this In cluding the government telegraph ser vice, which In the United Slates is In private hands, and also a considerable express business. The receipts of the American telegraph companies are in excess of $25,000,000 a year, and if ad ded to the postal receipts, as in the case in England and Germany, would send the total far above anything which the most sanguine European computer could hope to reach. - There are 70,000 post offices In the United States against 20,000 in Great Britain, 25.000 in Germany, 7,000 in France, 9,000 In Austro-Hungary, and 6,000 In Italy. The compactness of the population in England enables Cm post office department there to operate business at a minimum expense, for the fact is well knutfn that in thickly populated countries or States the post office business of any government can be conducted at a profit; it Is the scat tered settlements and - mail .wagon routes that entail the losses. The New York city post office, for instance, yields the government a profit of H. 000.000 a year, the post office business of the State of Massachusetts $1,500,000. and Pennsylvania and Illinois $1,000, 000 each, but in a majority of the States there ia a loss. $M0.000 in Kan sas, $700,000 in Iowa. $1,250,000 in Ne braska. $100,000 In Nevada (the total receipts In that State are less than $70, 000). $150,000 in Arizona. $200,000 in Ala bama, $200,000 in New Mexico, where the receipts are less than $100,000: $750. 0(H) in Texas, $.'00,000 in Virginia, and $300,000 in Wyoming, where the receipts are less than $100,000. The net loss on the post office business of the United States amounted last year to $10,000, 000, the shortage being made up by ap propriations from the Treasury which have averaged in recent years about $6,000,000. In-1SK2, 1SK3, .and 1884 the postal revenues of the United States eahie nearer being sufficient to meet the expenses than at any previous time since the close of. the civil war. In 1SS4, Indeed, the government made a prolit from its post office business. It Is not to be inferred from this that the postal business of the United Stales is unskilfully managed, for the op posite of this proposition is true. Tho fact is that the American theory of post office matters is predicated on the Idea that this Item of revenue is not to be regarded as a government monopoly managed for gain, but as a public con venience conducted by the government with thnt end in view. Tne govern ment handles and delivers letters, packages, newspapers, postal curds, and trunsacts a large business in money orders as a convenience to the people of the United States without any no tion of profit, for so soon as tho rev enues exceed tho receipts the govern ment proceeds to cut down the rates. By this plan the uniform two-cent postage rute has been reached, and ul timately, post olllce officials expect, there will be a uniform one-cent rate for mall mutter throughout the United States. In European countries a dif ferent view prevails. They run their post office departments as a source of revenue, and include generally the telegraph, and In Germany the tele phone, service In order to ndd to the protit. In England there is In addi tion the savings bank sy;Uem, the English post otfice department receiv ing cash deposits for Individuals, tho gioss amount of which is now nearly $,".00,000,000. While there was a loss on the American post office department of $1P,uoo,0uO last year, the profit of the English post office departnlent for the same period wus $15,(100,000, and other countries of Europe jnnde a prolit from the post office, too. The rtt revenue In A ifstro-Hungary was $r,000,(M'0, In Russia $1,000,000, und the profit In France was greater than In either of the other two, $7,500,tHlO. The railway telegraph system of France Is under tho direction of the French post office department, and yields a considerable revenue. In Italy there has been since 1S75 a system of post olllce savings banks, the lowest amount taken in which Is one lire (2.0 cents). Interest Is paid on these postal deposits at tho rate of Shi per cent. There la $40,000, 000 on deposit in the postal savings banks of Uuly. P3 ' The Furious Knight.
