The Post Office Department and a Postal Telegraph. The report of the Postmaster General for the last fiscal year is unusually lengthy. Occupying nine columns in small type. Tlie detailed statement of the workings of the department compare fa vorably with former reports, and show that Mr. Cresswell has been active in pro motiog reform. There has been the usual immense increase of business. The increase in reveuue in 1872, compared with 1871, was greater than the increase for 1S71, compared with 1870, by S720, 713.18 ; and the iucrease of expenditures for 1872, compared with 1871, was great er than the increase for 1871, compared with 1870, by S1.22G.S21.73. Of course that is the usual deficiency. The ordi nary revenues of this department for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1872, includ ing revenue I rota money-order business, were S2 1 ,i 15.420 37, and the expediture3 of all kiods 2G,(j58,l'J2 31. 700,000 of the latter amount was paid for the transportation of free matter, and as sub sidies to steamship lines. There has been a careful re-adjusttnent of pay on railroad routes, and a general re adjustment of the sa'a-ies of post masters. Improved postal conventions and ar rangements have been concluded with the leading commercial countries of Europe and America, establishing great ly reduced postage charges on correspond ence with all parts of the civilized world. France is the ottly commertcal country of prominence with which any serious difficulty has been encountered in effect ing a reduction of rostatre and otherwise improving the conditions of international small communication, but negotiations with the French Government give promise of the early conclusion of a postal conveu tion. The money-order department con linues to work satisfactorily, there hav ing been u increase of business of over six million dollars. During the year there has been a net increase of 1,81S post offices, the number in operation at the close of the fiscal year (June 30.) being 31,fc(i3. Of this num ber the President has the nppoiutment, under the aeis ol Congress, of only 1,2'J0. The free delivery system has been in op eration duriug the year iu fifty two of the principal cities, with the following aggre gate resulis : "Number of letter carriers, 1,443 ; mail letters delivered, 127,008, 828 ; local letters delivered. 33.003,880 ; newspapers delivered. 33,627,308 ; letters collected, 115,117.321 ; amount paid car ries, including incidental expenses, 1. 385,'Jo5.7G. Duriug the last fiscal year, before the establishment of the free de livery system, the number of mail letters delivered approximated 14.500,000. The number of employees at the Department in Washington is 346 ; the nutubcr of postmasters, contractors, clerks in pot offices, route agents, railway postal clerks, aud other officers in service on the 30th June, 44,655. After presenting these and many other interesting facts, Mr. Cresswell renews his recommendation for the abolitiou of the franking privileges, and thcu pro cceds to consider at great length the pos tal telegraph question. In reference to the former he .-ays y "In my three pre vious reports I have urgently recommend cd au immediate and unconditional repeal of the franking privilege. The cxperi cace of the past year has strengthened my conviction that i's abolition is ubsolu tely necessary to an effis'ent, economical, and vigorous administration of our postal system I think it eafe to say that the free matter carried during the past year, if taxed at ordinary rates, would have yield ed a revenue of three aud a half millions of dollars, a sum larger thao the eutire deficiency of the year. I know of no measure more entitled to favorable action than the House bill now pcuding iu the Senate and urge its passage immediately alier the reus.euibling of Congress." The Postmaster General states that grave difficulties have arisen from time to time between the Government and cer tain of the telegraph companies, which have declined and still decline to furnish such facilities as are deemed essential to the perfect success of the signal set vice, and adds, "In my opinion a Government telegraph affords the ooly safeguard against the continuance of such evils. White the embarrassment consequent on the attitude of the telegraph companies toward the Government demauds prompt attention, it is but one of the many con siderations which point to the adoption of a postal telegraph as a measure of im mediate public necessity. The immediate defects and abuses of the telegraph call loudly for reform. A glance at the tele graph map of the, country fhows large districts totally uoprovided with telegra phic facilities, and uiauy important places with post offices in their busiuess centres dependent upon the outlying railroad sta tious for the means of telegraphing. The taniBs are exorbitant, unequal and complex, supplemented iu gome cases by euoruious charges for local delivery, and regulated entirely by the pleasure of the companies. The report then submits for iuspec tioo a tuble carelully uamplied from re liable statitics, showing that, with a cost per mile for construction aud equipment much lowor here thau in Bavar a, France, Great Britain, Italy and the averaga of Europe, aud with a yearly expense per mile of line which will compare most fa vorably with that of the countircs mco tioned, the telegraph in this country col lects an average of 70 cents on each mes sage, against on average of 38 in Europe generally. The same table also marks most clearly the inequality and discrim inating character of American tariffs, as opened to the generally uniform rates of Europe. Mr. Cresswell then proceeds to lurntsn an immense ; amouut or iact and important data 'showing the necessity of reform and of Governmental control of the wires, in the interest of the comnier-, cial world, of the press and of the people generally, even a satisfactory condesation of which, for want of room, we caonot re produce here. The report is by far the most intelligent and conclusive yet presented upon this important subject, and Congress will be direlect if it does dot promptly and care fully consider it In I860 Congress pass ed an act, which was in effect, a notifica tion that, after a certain date, the Gov ernment might assume the management of whatwas manifestly considered a public business, and to the expression of a will ingness to acquire the necessary machin ery therefor at a fair . price from com panics already possessing it, in preference to purchasing and erecting new machin ery. Mr. Cresswell says : ''The time hav ing now come, in my opinion, when the benefits of a Government telegraph should be secured to the people, it is desirable that advantage should be taken of the provisions of this act, and the lines of someor allof the above companies brought under control of this Department." He shows that this would be cheaper than building ucw lines, and is confident that the postal telegraph system, once acquired, can be so managed as to rclize from the receipts of the telegraph itself sufficient, after meeting all expenses, to pay the in terest on the purchase money, provided for all necessary annual extensions, and gradually to recover the principal, even at the' greatly reduced rates which pre vail 'in foreign couutries, ' and predicts that if the system is adopted telegraphy in America will solve problems and ac complish results that will far outstrip its wonderful achievementf iu the past. The Signal Service Report Geu. Albert J. Myer makes a report of the workings of the Signal Service, which is quite as interesting as any com raunicated to Congress. lie docs not claim absolute accuracy for his pro babilities. He says : The favorable expressions of scientific men, the popular credit given the publica tions of the office, and the surprise and almost irritation exhibited, if any time they chance to be in error, as must some times happen, have sufficiently evidenced the skill and care these officers have mani fested in the discharge of their duties. A comparison of the tri daily forecasts, or "probabilities" as they have been styl ed, with the meteoric condition, alterward reported, and, so far as known, has given an average of sixty-nine per cent., as veiified up to Nov. 1, 1871. Since that late to the present time (October 1, 1872,) the average of verifications has been seven ty six and eight tenths percent. If re gard be had to those predictions verified, within a few hours after the time for which they were made, this percentage is considerably increased. He proposes now to establish temporary stations in locatites which have a regular season of storms, withdrawing the obser ver during the period of calm. He has already made arrangements by which telegraph reports are now received from seven Canadian stations. The observa. tions are made synchronous with those in the United States, aud are sent in: the same cipher. These reports have been forwarded regularly to this office after concentration at Toronto, and have proved of much value ia connection with the lake region. A notable instance of the co opera tion was had in the progress of the great storm of Sept. 28, 20, and 30, of this year. Warnings were given iu advance at the lake ports of the United States, and similar warnings were at the same time telegraphed to Canada. The advantages resulting to both Slates from this arrange ment are highly estimated. Aside from the seutimeot of interatioual comity and good will incideot to its existence it is of practical value. Arragenients of a similar description are contemplated or to be made for the exchange of observation by telcpraph with various points iu the West Iudia Islands. These arrangements will be carried iuto effect, if possible, before the opening of the stormy Spring season. Thus it is seen that the Signal Service is increasing in extcut and accuracy and a strtchiog out of the liues to Caoda and the West Indies will add largely to its value. ; . ... The Army. The report of the Secretary of War opens with the gratifying financial exhibit of a reduction of annual expenditures amounting to 427,834.62. The reports of the General of the Army and of the Division aud Department Commanders, show that the various duties required of the Army have beeu performed with faithfulness. Desertions have decreased in uuujberthe enlightened legislation iu cooueetiou with the pay of the enlisted uiea having contributed greatly toward that end. It has been fouud impossible, thus far, to reduce the force in the South ern States of the Mississippi which were engaged ia the war of the Rebellion.. About one sixth of the Army is still lo cated there. The Secretary hopes, how ever, that an improved condition of affairs in that section may permit the withdrawal of a portion of .the forces. The examination by the Bureau of Military Justice of the records of the trials occurring in the different military departments, briugs constantly before it what is felt to be a most serious defect in the administration of justice, and a most positve injury to the service; which is, the inequality of senteuces adjudged by different Courts for identical offenses. The opiniou is entertained that the service would be greatly benefited, and its morale increased, by the adoption of a code pro viding specific penalties for well defined offences. The changes in the uniform and dress of the army, recommended by a Board of Officers convened with re ference to that subject, were, with some modifications, approved, and the new clothing is being manufactured as rapidly as possible. The - uniform adopted is be lieved to be a great improvement, and will, it is hoped, give general satisfaction in tho army. The 74 national cemeteries bow contain the remains of 317,962 per sons All but 16 of these cemeteries have been permanently inclosed, or are being inclosed under contracts now ia operation. The sources and methods of supply for the army have since the war been gradual ly brought into close conformity with the customary usages governing in commercial transactions. About six thousand dollars was expend ed by the department in aid of the Chicage sufferers, and food valued at 30,000 was forwarded to Wisconsin for the relief of the sufferers by the terrible forset fire3 ou condition that "the State of Wisconsin will account for the stores at their value, if required to do so hereafter." Tho Secretary calls the attention of Congress to the large number of vacancies at present fifty nine existing in the Medi cal Corps, and the injury to it and tha service, resulting from the prohibition of appointments aud promotions. The de partment has given, the usual atteutioo to the improvementof the arms of the service During the past year the Corps of Engineers has been engaged upon the works for the defense of our coasts ; upon river and harbor improvements and the surveys for them, and for the protection of the navigable waters of the Uuited States against deterioration, whether from bridging or other causes ; upon the geodetic and hydrographic surveys of the lakes; upon surveys for the defense of the coast ; upon military surveys and recennoissauces ia the interior ; upon geographical and geological explorations ; upou public buildings and grounds in the District of Columbia ; upon the coustrus tion of light houses ; and upon the demark ation of the boundary between the Uuited States and Great Britain. The river and harbor works, and the many surveys annually directed to be made in extending the system of im provement, have been carried on with skill, energy, and economy. The increas ed security and facillity to navigation which these works of improvement have afforded, though many cf them are only partially completed, have saved to com mence many times the amount of the sum expended on the work. The secre tary is greatly pleased at the success of the wtorm signal system and proposes fur ther improvement. The Military Academy at West Poiot is reported to be in a satisfactory state of proficiency in discipline and study. The total number of Cadets now at the Academy, is 240, with 53 vacancies The general health of the Army is good, and the report throughout shows the ex istence of a satisfactory state of affairs. Report of the Secretary of the Interior. The annual report of the Secretary of the 'Interior, although not of tlie im portant charcter of the other reports of the chief government officials, still com prises the important interests of the In diaos, the public lands, popular educa tion and the railroads, all useful and in teresting topics. Of the Indiaus the re ports says a gratifying increase of the arts of civilization is noticeable among the tribes of the West. The Land office shows that no less than 4.671.332 acres of government laud have been placed on the Ilomested account. There has beeu a large increase in the application for patents showing an increase in the in veDtive talent of our country. The taking of the census, which is embodied in this report, was accomplish ed in an unusually short time. The matter of the pensions to disabled soldiers receives much attention in the report, which shows a total of 232,220 names of maimed soldiers enrolled, to whom 25, 480,578 have been disbursed. Tlie notes of the report on the Pacific Railway show that the expense of (his improvement has been immense to the government ; but it also proves that the country is amply re imbursed for this outlay. The report on the whole is of a very clear and iutel ligible character, and shows a large in crease in the domestic prosperity of the country.

It has been truthfully said that even in these eulighted days, and in the lands most blessed by the infiueuce of civiliza tion, there are thousands upon thousands of persons born into the world who live long lives and then go down into their graves without ever having tasted a good cup of coffee. There are many reasons for this principal one, of course, must be that so few persons know how to make good coffee. Aud yet there have been thousands of recipes and directions pub lished which teach us how to make good coffee by boiling it ; by not boiling it ; by confining the essence and aroma ; by mak ing it in an open vessel ; by steeping it ; by not steeping it ; by clearing it ; by not clearing it ; by grinding it fine ; by grind ing it coarse, and by many other methods opposed to each other and to all these. Now, we do not intend to try to tell any body how to make good coffee, but we just wish to say a word about the treat ment of the coffee after it is made. And on this treatment depends its excellence, brew it as ycu may. The rule is simple: never decant it. Whatever else j'ou do about it, bring it to the table in the ves sel in which it was made. A handsome urn or gorgeous coffee pot is the grave of good coffee. Of course, if it is consider ed more desirable to have the pot look well than to have the coffee taste well, we have nothing more to say. But when hot coffee is emptied from one vessel into another, the kitchen ceiling generally re ceives that essence laden vapor which should have found its way into the cups on the brcaksast table. When the cof fee enters them it should find the milk or the cream already there. By observing these rules, ordinary coffee, made in al most any way, is often very palatable iu deed. Scribner's for October. An Old Time Item. The first election held in Northampton county, came off at Easton on the first day of October, 1752. The county then included in its limits its present territory, besides all that now comprising the coun ties of Lehigh, Carbon, Monroe. Pike, Wayne and Susquehanna, aud parts of Wyomiug, Luzerne, Schuylkill, Bradford and Columbia. Many of the voters who came to Easton to deposit their ballots traveled twenty five miles to perform that duty. The county then contained about 6,000 inhabitants, and these were mostly in the eastern section of its territory. The result of this election was the send ing of James Burnside to the Assembly, the elevation of Win. Craig to the Sherif falty, and the choice of Robert Gregg, Peter Trexler and Bejamin Shoemaker, for County Commisaoncrs. - The election was warmly contested, the opposing par ties being the adherents of the Proprie tors and the Irish and German settlers. The candidate for the Assembly on the side of the Proprietors was William Par sons, the founder of Easton, who was de fcatcd by Buruside, by a majority of sev eral hundred votes. Burnside resided in the neighborhood of Bethlehem. At that time there were but eight townships in the county, these being Smithfield and Milford, formed in 1872. Upper Saucon, Lower Saucon and Macungic, formed in 1743, Bethlehem, 1746, Aileu, iu 1748, and William, in 1750. All on the north side of the Lehigh, east of Bethlehem and south of the Blue Mountain was known as the "Folks of the Delaware." Care of tho FecC. Concerning this subject, the Scientific American very truly says : ''Many are careless in tho keeping of the feet. If they wash them once a week, they think they are doing well. They do uot con sider that the largest pores are located in the bottom of the foot, and that the most offensive matter is discharged through the pores. They wear stockidgs from the beginning to the end of the week with out change, which' become perfectly sa turated with offensive matter. Ill health, is generated by such treatment of the feet. The pores are not repellant but absorbents, aud this fetid matter, to a greater or less extent, is taken back iuto the sycteui.. The feet should bo Washed every day with pure water only, as well sis the arm pits, from which au offeotdve odor is al ways emitted,, unless daily ablution is practiced. Stockings should uot be wnrn more thau a day cr two at a time. They msy be worn one day, and then aired and sunned aud worn another day, if ueces sary. Declares for the Quagga. The Cincinnati Comer ical says: We mean tospcak of animal which would seem to be the very best substitute for the horse, if it be doomed to extinction. We refer to that excellent and elegant animal, the African quagga. Probably most of our readers know uo more of the quagga than what they have learned by seeing its pic ture in the school geographies or in books of African travel. Many naturalists think that Africa was the original coun try of the horse, and there is very little doubt that it was in Northern Africa the horse was first brought uudcr the subjec tion of man. In Africa', also, the quagga is found, and there, in like manner, it has been domesticated. The quagga has the form, light figure, and small head and ears of the horse. It is swift and strong, docile and obedient, and easily domesti cated. It is capable of every variety of service performed by the horse, and ua turalists say that by a little care on the part of man it might be rendered an ex ceedingly valuable beast of burden. It is about four feet high at the fcholders and neck, has slender legs and an os sinine tail ; it is an exceedingly beautiful animal ; its neck and fore parts are dark brown, clcgautly striped with broad black bands; it has a dark line on the back ; its hinder parts arc light brown, and it has white legs. A Hole' in Glass. The following simple method of drill ing a hole in glass may interest many cf our rerders : First secure over the place to bo drilled a thin piece of pine, with a hole in it the size of the'oue you want to drill. The thin stuff used in bad Km; picture frames will answer for this pur pose. Thi3 ' ;s s'itDp'j z guide for steady ing the drill tt starting. The drill is a brass tube or the size desirad, the thinner the better. Put a centre into the top of itaod run with a'cc'mcicn bow like that used in drilling by watchmakers. Feed the drill with rather fine emery and keep wet with a saturated solution of gum cam phor in spirits of turpentine, and you can drill glass as easily as brass. Tho tubular drill cuts out a circular core, and the hole can be smoothed or enlarged to any desirable extent with a round file wetted with the" solutiou referred so. Keep the drill upright. Castor Beans" Death to StoCiL It seems certain that castor beans will kill horses and cattle. Within a year or two it has beeu stated in the Farmers' Club of New1 York City that if placed iu the paths of tc'oles or iu the hole of gophers they would exterminate these animals. Not it is recorded that a span of horses in Nebraska died within tweuty-four hours after eating a half handful of castor bcana divided between them". Commenting on this fact Prairie Fa'rmir says : "That castor beans injure stock is certain, and that death has resulted from eating t'ueoi seems also sure. Among the earlier acts passed by the Legislature of this State, was one attaching severe penalties to per sons who left castor beans inrposcd situations or who left fields of then! ex posed so that cattle cold enter," Ou readers who' grow these beans should, therefore, be careful how they expose them to stock, at least until the fact whether they kill is definitely settled, if there is any question about it. We clip the following item from the Easton Sentinel: Ou Weduesday last, a number of lads were amusing themselves in jumping from tlie stone fence near the West Ward school building, in Easton. While one of them, named Ferguson, was in the act of gathering himself up after jumping, a companion leaped from the fence and lauded upon his (Fergusou's) back, severely injuring him. The injured lad was removed to the residence of his parents' and a physician called, when it was discovered that his back bone was broken. Facts for Farmers. A aeries of experiments iustituted to test the average loss in weight by drying, hhows that corn loses one fifth aud wheat one fourteenth by the process. From this a ftateiwect is made that the farmer make more by selling onshelled corn iu the fall at seventy five cents than tho following summer at one dollar a bushel, and that wheat at one dollar aud thirty cents in December, is, equal to one dollar and fifty cents iu June following." Thii estimate is made on the basis of interest at 7 per cent, and take no account of loss from vermin These facts are woithy.of cousideration. i II
