Bomb time ago a special agent of the Tost office Department went to the town of Spring Garden, Alabama, to look In to certain violations of the Postal laws committed by the Postmaster at that place. The populace regarded this as an unwarranted intrusion on their sov ereignity, and, after maltreating the special agent, had him arrested and held for trial on a trumped-up charge. Postmaster Key immediately discon tinued the Post office, and, in reply to a petition for its re-establishment, he lias written a letter to Congress man Forney, in which he declines to re-establish the office for the present at least.

Faets About Temperance. Edwards county, Illinois, which has ' not licensed a liquor saloon for twenty five years, is situated in the Southern part of the State, where whiskey used to be plenty and schools few and poor. Its exceptional character is due to its settlement thirty years ago by a body of the Sons of Temperance. The Clerk of the Circuit Court testifies that the jail during these twenty-five years has not averaged one occupant a year, and the county has sent but one person to the penitentiary, and that man got drunk at a licensed saloon in an adjoin ing county and killed his wife ; that the county has an average of only three or four persons to support ; that the taxes are 32 per cent, less than In adjoining or license-granting counties. The apparent ease with which France paid the Prussian indemnity and re paired the terrible devastation of her late war has justly excited the admira tion of all civili-l nations, and caused France to be regarded as a model of sol vency and a nation of infinite resources. There seems, however, reason to fear that a change is imminent, and that a period of financial depression is ap proaching no less severe than that which has lately been visiting our own country, and which now prostrates Great Britain. The amount to be raised by taxation for the coming year, exclu sive of interest on the public debt, is not leas than $676,000,000. One of the items which goes to swell this budget arises from the purchase by the State of 2,000, miles of bankrupt railroads. France leads the nations, in the amount of her public debt, it being,.in round numbers, Just $1,000,000,000 larger than that of Great Britain, which comes second on the list. The interest on this debt for the coming year will about $234,000,000, making a total to be raised by taxation of $910,000,000. A writer in the Debate is alarmed at the prospect. He fears, and with reason, that the taxable re sources of the country cannot withstand such an exhaustive drain, and that, In consequence, the financial stability of France Is anything but assured. What Is a Railroad Pool ? Much Is said of late about railway pools. To "pool" the business of com peting roads Is to introduce a kind of co operative system, so as to secure for each an equitable proportion, thus doing away with the motive of cutting rates. It is a modern Improvement, approved by some as cordially as it Is denounced by others. As generally understood, pooling is In the Interest of the stock holders, and to the detriment of those who profit from competition. In other words, It Inflicts upon the public the evils of monoply, qualified by the ad vantage of uniform rates among the va rious shippers. The plan, In brief, is for the several corporations concerned the trunk lines acting as principals to fur nish the "Pool Commissioner," or chief officer in charge of the pool, with man ifests of the freight carried by them res pectively from day to day, affording data from which to determine whether any particular road is receiving business In excess of its proportion of any special class of goods. If so, the excess is cor rected by turning over the surplus to other roads of the combination, by offi cial authority. The amount to be thus turned over is decided by taking the ag gregate of the business " captured" in a given time by each of the parties of the pool, prior to the organization, as a basis for calculation. Each Is entitled to an amount proportioned to the business done when working independently. As to details of the arrangement, it can be said that no two pools are worked on the same plan, the system varying accord ing to the caprices of managers. To meet the expenses, each party must pay pro rata, corresponding to its share of business. The New York pool under Commis sioner Fink, heads the list in a score or more East and West, this officer usually acting as chairman in all important de liberations. He is a man of large expe rience in railroad!ng,a German by birth, and, up to the time this pool was estab lished, some two years ago, was vice president of the Louisville and Nash ville railroad. He holds the appoint ment for five years, at a salary of $10, 000 per annum. Under him are a secre tary and fifty-two accountants, who oc cupy a suit of offices on the highest floor of the New York Life Insurance Com pany's building, wholly removed from observation. The obscure sign on one of the doors, the narrow wooden stair way, and all the appurtenances of the place, indicate a desire to be let alone, while the chief and his clerks quietly, but assiduously manage a business of enormous proportions. The pool for west-bound freights has worked satisfactorily in the main, a tol erable regard being shown by those con cerned for the rates agreed upon, but as regards east-bound freights, it has been found very difficult to gather freights from all directions, from territory so widely extended, and bring it under sin gle control. Especially has this been true in the face of the intrigues of steam ship agents scattered all through the West, who make Independent through rates to Europe, often obtaining a rebate from the railroad companies, thus caus ing much demoralization. Iron Age. Bear Shooting Extraordlary. The Trinity (Col.) " Journal" relates that a party of four men recently went on a bear hunt. Approaching a forest, the dogs got scent of a bear, and were sent into the forest to drive him out. Dr. Stanley, one of the party, became Impatient, however, and entered the thicket himself. The heavy under growth made progress slow, but ho fought his way ahead until he came to a fallen tree lying in a gulch. Helping himself along by the limbs, he arrived at the upper end just in time to be con fronted by a huge grizzly bear. Retreat was impossible, as it had been with the utmost difficulty that the doctor had ad vanced so far ; there was no tree in con venient distance, and as the grizzly showed fight, there was nothing left for him to do but shoot. Taking deliberate aim with his Henry rifle, the doctor fired, and the bear fell mortally wound ed. Another load was sprung from the magazine into his rifle, and the doctor, looking toward his prey, was surprised to see a second bear in the same spot. This he shot also, and quickly reloading, was yet more astonished to see a third bear in the same place where he had shot the other two. Again the lever moved, and a fresh charge went into position, and again the doctor looked up and discovered a fourth grizzly coming toward him from the same opening in the brush. Whang went the gun again, and down went bear No. 4. To make sure of his game, the doctor poured six teen shots into their carcasses. His com panions, hearing the firing, came to his assistance, and found him on top of the largest bear swinging his hat and shout ing lustily. One of the bears was an immense grizzly, so large that the hun ters could not handle him, and the other three were good-sized grizzlies, proba bly about two years old. The shooting of four bears by one man, without ever changing his position, is something hitherto unheard of, even in the most highly-colored annals of the western wilds. i - Burled Alive. St. Louis, Feb. 11. A Kansas City dispatch says a terrible accident occur red this morning In a cut being made for the Chicago and Alton Railroad. The cut, with its .almost perpendicular walls 00 feet high, caved in and burled the workman and their teams under 0000 yards of falling earth. There were four teams in the cut at the time, and ten men working at each team. Be sides these there were the foreman, James McCarthy, his clerk and two men working with the pick. Six per sona were killed outright and several wounded. Farming Troubles In Texas. Texas farmers are troubled about farm hands. There Is a lack of laborers In some portions of the State. To prevent emigration of colored labor in Alabama and Georgia, a license tax of $100 has been placed on every one soliciting peo ple to emigrate. A farmer, therefore, who goes to either of these States to se cure labor is liable to this tax as an em igration agent. The result has been to very nearly destroy the colored emigration. SIT On Saturday night a week, at 121 o'clock, a riot took place in the oyster saloon of Peter Corbet, at Waynesboro, resulting most disastrously to one of the parties engaged, Samuel Royer, who was beaten and kicked in such a brutal manner that bis life is yet in danger.
