Sunday Morning,
A Northern Editor** Views or the Ereed-
nen on# his Character.
One of the editors of the New York Journal
of Common*, who has recently been In the South
making personal observation oi matters and
things in general, refers as follows to the freed-
utan and Ills character:
“To the Inquiry made of Southern gentlemen
and ladies In all parts ol the South, ‘How do
the negro mothers lake care of their young chll
dren ?’ the answer was almost invariably, 'They
would rather bavo them dlo than live.’ To some
extent, also, tho fathers neglect their families.—
It is a new thing for a negro to havo to apply his
earnings to tho support of children, or to tho'
payment of physicians, or the purchase of medi
ciuc. Ucnce, when the freed man receives his
wages, he is tempted to spend it on hlgown com
fort or luxury. How few of them understand
the idea of saving ‘for a wet day.’ Wo saw
a very respectable and intelligent negro who,
while a slave, had saved money earned in over
work, to the amount of $600. Within two years
post he had spent it all in supporting his family,
and said that now he had hard work to keep
body and soul logotlier. It is plain enough that
employers will find the free system far cheaper
thou the slave system; but whether the laboring
class can stand poverty and its ills, to which
they have never been accustomed, is another
qnestiou, and one iu which the future of the
South is very deeply involved."
There is much truth iu the foregoing estimate
ot tho froedmen in our midst. We have wit
ness'd many painful incidents ol mothers neg
lecting their children, and of men abandoning
their families, nay fleeing from, rather than
abidiug with and aiding in their support. The
relation of husband and wife is, in a great de
gree, disregarded, save by tho most intelligent—
looked upon rather as a convenience than as itu-
poiing tho most sacred of all obligations, nnd
too burdensome to the husband when it entails
the support of liis wife and children. It will
require more than ono decade of time, we appre
hend, ere educational influences will correct this
blemish, if we may so term it, in the character
• of tho negro treedinen. Hence how important
it is that every cflort should be made as speedily
as possible to tiring them under such influences,
especially as they arc now considered, and will
doubtless continuo to be, citizen» of the South,
with political privileges such as are, and to lie,
enjoyed by the white man who is not disfran
chised by the law-making power.
xvhftt the Com of the Tariff ID
Some idea of the cost of the Tariff policy of
the government—that is, of our congressional
government—may be formed by the reader in
tho perusal oi the following from the Now York
Post, a journal which stands high in the estima
tion of the great commercial circles of tho North.
That paper says:
“ So long as tariff duties ore levied on six
thousand different articles, so long the govern
ment will have to keep up a costly standing army
i of coast-guardsmen to keep out smugglers; so
long as internal duties are laid on ten thousand
different articles, so long tho government must
keep up a costly standing army of spies, inform
ers, searchers, and other agents. All theso offi
cers live well, have large salaries, and grow rich
off the savings of the people, who are obliged to
pay taxes on sixteen thousand different articles,
under a stupid, wasteful and oppressive system
of taxation, which Congress ought at once to
abolish in favor of a sensible system.”
It was Mr. Calhoun who, in tho vigor of his
intellect, said tlint there aro a hundred thou-
I sand office-holders of tho government who lived
upon spoils, and whoso influence controlled the
elections. It was George M. Troup who, in
; 1840, said, that the party in power lived upon
( tho spoils of office, but gave no encouragement
t to the then proposed cbuugc, by adding, in an
ticipation raerebr, me opposite party nan to do
tried. The ono hundred thousand office-holders
. in the time ot Mr. Calhoun havo increased to
thrice, if it docs not now quadruple that number,
, just as from the expenditures of the John Quincy
Adams administration—denounced at tho time
as Inordinately extravagant—havo from thirteen
1 reached hundreds of millions. Whither is the
country drifting? Wh»t with tariffs upon
foreign imports, and tariffs upon homo industry,
we are fast approaching a crisis that capital
may well dread, for industry, though It may for
arime submit to tbe exactions of power and men
| in office, will be sure not to submit long. Tho
day of reckoning will bo sure to come.
1 Horrible Outrage.—’Tho Mobile Times
ij gives the details of a horrible outrage commit
ted by negroes upon a family named Peters,
if living on Dog Ilivcr, at no great distanco from
■ .Mobile. The brutes broke into tbe liouso at
J night, beat the father and sons until they were
j ■ insensible, outraged tho mother and daughter—
I the latter a girl twelve years of ago—stolo some
T thirteen hundred dollars in gold nnd currency,
; j and made their escape.
| Every effort is beiug made to capture tho fiends
( and bring them to summary punishment. As
«• before remarked, such outrages are of terribly
J ' frequent occurrence, and iu most instances may
be traced to the pernicious influences set to work
!|. among the black population by bad wliito men
j who are trying to use that class for their own
2 vile uud villainous purposes.
I-j The freedmen arc not the only persons in the
HU Bom li to whom the General's good advice should
have been addressed. Tho rebels “ in their new
R" condition ” would not ho doing any harm if they
1 were to go to uk to realize visible means of
K . support If there were not so muny loafers
E about the whisky boles in the South, and not so
H- many illicit stills at work, there would be more
H.. corn in the cribs ami in the ground.—Cincinnati
S Commercial.
In regard to illicit distilleries, our Buckeye
Si cotemporary is slightly out of his reckoning.
.ft| There are very lew of U1030 Immunizing institu-
3|,j tious in the Territories. Our people lack the
m > genius and capacity to run ’em—It tnkes North-
ill,' ® rn and Western enterprise to do that succcss-
|E' fully, so that wo are pretty much dependent on
HjS Cincinnati uud other inurts in that direction for
W our HiippIIes of popskull nnd busthead.
sk A Chip Off the Old Block.—Forney,
Junior, is iu Europe writing the most amazing
f'vf letters to the Chronicle. As a sample of the
j i youug gentleman's style, and an evidence of his
$4 truly hereditary penetration, read the following
jpjj.lroin his letter in yesterday's Chronicle :
“We arrived at Genoa this evening, at 7 o’clock.
■Our boat was named the Espeno. The day was
a delightful one, and the trip pleasant. I had no
.idea that this was sucii an immense seaport town.
EA[There were vessels to tho number ol nt least u
a 'thousand, of all kinds, sizes, and nations, lying
7 '.at anchor arouud. The Mediterranean, though
™ 5 o-d*y so mild and quiet, at times equals iu fury
.lruost the great Atlantic Ocean.’’
The Charleston Nats is of opinion that tho
oung man is the author of the famous effusion :
There are four seasons. Some prefer Spring,
>ut as for me, give me liberty or give me death.”
The Next Presidency.—Governor Fletcher
gof Missouri, and other Northwestern politicians
Tore working to secure the nomination of Secre
tary Stanton to the next Presidency. We hope
(lily may succeed. With the exception of Judge
Jo. Holt, ot fragrant antecedents, there is per-
aps no radical whom it would he easier to beat.
M course, all the survivors of Andcnotivillo and
‘ lasile Thunder would vote for the kind-hearted
? nd amiable Secretary.
The Old Dominion—It is stated that in a
[ ueatiou of numbers between the voters of the
j vo races iu Virgin hi, the whites will have a
(i.rge preponderance. But tho number of Con-
>rvativo black voters will lie much larger than
jrtt of Radical wnite voters. Virginia will
nd on the Cmi.si-rvative side—neither bound
I the Democratic nos the Republican parties.

Communicated.
lb the Editor rf the Kern Era:
I have just read In U\e Era on article copied
from on Alabama paper, urging the General
commanding the Third District to issue an'order
prohibiting tho people of Georgia from using
their legal and constitutional rights In tho col
lection of their jast debts. And this revolution
ary recommendation you fully endorse.
Have you ever thought of the fact that credi
tors had some rights as well ns debtors f And
havo yon ever inquired who a large number—
perhaps a largo majority—of creditors ara in
Georgia ? Do you not know that widows and
orphans constitute a largo portion of the credi
tors of this State, and Hint they havo been pre
vented for more than six years from collecting
anything that is duo them ? The land and other
property left them by their deceased husbands
and fathers, have been sold on a credit, and the
purchasers have owned, possessed and enjoyed
all tho benefits, income and profits of this prop
erty for many years, while “stay laws” have
protected them from being compelled to pay tho
price promised. And you are now asking the
distinguished General whose headquarters arc at
Atlanta, to go outside oi aud beyond the Acts of
Congress, under which ho came to Georgia, and
to turn law-maker—no, law-destroyer—and to pre
vent these widows and orphans from collecting
enough of tho money that is due them to buy
food and raiment. If General Pope is entitled
to the high reputation he enjoys, it is believed he
will not listen to such unconstitutional aud inju
rious advice.
All administrators, executors, guardians, ami
other trustees have been, for more than six years,
prohibited from collecting the money due them
in thoir fiduefary charactor, and you now ask
that military power shall be used to further pre
vent them from collecting the money duo them,
and paying it over to widows aud orphans. Not
a great while since I heard a guardian begging
a man who had borrowed the money of his
wards—orphan children—and who had used it
for years, to pay him enongh to purchase food
aud clothing (or the children. But lie did not
get it. And you aro asking the military—a dis
tinguished General—who has been sent to Geor
gia for no such purpose, to prevent by force of
arms, the guardian to whom I havo referred col
lecting cnougli of his wards' money to board
and clothe them. General Pope, I believe, has
too much regard for right and justice, law and
the constitution, to do any such tiling.
From what nre you asking tho military to re
lievo the debtors of tho country? From the
payment of their just debts. Tho courts protect
them from the payment of unjust debts. They
have borrowed money, purchased property, and
have used both for many years, without paylug,
or even trying, (many of them) to pay back the
money borrowed, or the price of the property
purchased, or any part ol it, and you ask that
poor and suffering creditors—many of them with
no other means of living—shall be prohibited—
not by force of law, the constitution, right, or
justice, but by the power of the sword, from col
lecting any part of their jwt debts! And you
tell your renders that you nre “ advancing.”
Well, Doctor,if this be “advancing,” pardon
me (or insisting that you “open" again the
“ rear," and enlighten your readers from another
direction. “ Advanco backward.”
I know men who owe their neighbors nnd
have goods and family supplies for sale, and will
not let their creditors have cither food or cloth
ing in payment of what they owe; nnd, pvr-
chance, when one can be found who will gull his
goods to his creditors in payment of Ids debts,
the creditor certainly pays a large profit to his
debtor. And these honest debtors must have
military power brought to their aid, to save them
from the great burden of paying a just debt.
Will not General Pope have cnougli to do in
faithfully discharging the duties imposed upon
him by the acts of Congress, without being an-
U I “*« voluntary anu uuaaacu auvico oi
those who want him to usurp undelegated pow
ers, and to pass an order denying to tho credi
tor class of flic peoplo their legal and constitu
tional rights, and protecting the debtor class who
have long disregarded their promises to pay in a
still farther disregard of them ? Yes, yon advise
General Pope to prevent the courts enforcing
their judgments and decrees, aud thereby close
up the avenues ol justice. You advise him to
prevent tbo widow aud orphan from collecting
enough of their just dues to purchase food and
raiment. You advise him to protect those who
have long failed and refused lo comply with their
promises, by arbitrarily oppressing those who
have done no wrong in denying to them their le
gal and constitutional rights. And this advice
is an “advance” is it? If so, by all mcanB,
Doctor, open your " rear” again and advance
’lother way, for I doubt not it will be as instruc
tive and less offensive to the largo body of the
people.
What heads and hearts have those who advise
the military to overturn by tho power of tho
sword the Constitution and laws of the coun
try ? ^ J ubtice.
The Gosport Murder.
The New Albany Ledger of yesterday coutains
the following additional particulars of the mur
der of Mr. James S. Johns, the station agent of
Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad,
at Gosport, Indiana:
It appears that the exact time of the commis
sion of the terrible murder, was but a few min
utes after 10.15 o’clock of Tuesday taiglit, at
which moment Mr. Johns telegraphed to lids
city the passage of the south-bound freight train.
A chair sat by the table on which the telegraph
Instrument was placed, and in this chair, at the
instrument, it appears, Mr. Johns was silling
when the deadly blows were delivered upon his
head, with a club, by the murderer, lie wns
struck four times, the skull being broken by each
lick; once (and probably the first lick) on the
hack of the head, once upon the right temple,
once upon the left temple, and once near the
center ol the forehead. The front and back legs
of the chair were stained with blood, and this
givc-H strength to the theory that lie was sit
ting in the chair and had jast finished sending
the dispatch when tbe blows were dealt.—
The door openeil from behind where lie sat.
The knees of -Mr. John’s pants were stained
with blood, aud there were marks of bloody
hand-prints on (lie wall, fora distance of six feet
from where be wus found sitting in n leaning po
sition against the wall, dead. lie had evidently
been knocked or fell to tho floor, from which he
arose after tho departure of the murderers, and,
as the bloody hand-prints on the wall would indi
cate, supported himself with his hands against the
wall while he crawled upon his knees to the door,
which lie found locked, nnd thence to the wall
opposite the window, so that he might he seen
by any one passing. Either one of the lour
wounds he received would probably have proved
fatal.
After the murderers had secured all the money
in the office, they departed, locking the door alter
them, and throwing the key some distance upon
a side track, where it was found yesterday.
Mississippi.—Our advices from Mississippi
ore encouraging. A gentleman writes us that
tho planters of Amite county have finished
planting. It says: "Ono very encouraging
fact is that our farmers arc putting a greater part
of their lands in corn, potatoes, peas, etc. We
like to see this policy adopted. Better to have
plenty of food without money, than plenty of
money aud no food, particularly when ull of
your neighbors are iu the same fix.”
SSSP
Personal.—Tlio Charleston Mercury of the
3d contains this personal notice: lion. Henry
Wilson, of Massachusetts, arrived in this city
yesterday, and is staying at the Mills House.
By an advertisement in to-day's paper, it will be
seen that Mr. Wilson will address the public, on
Citadel Green, this afternoon, nt half pust four
o’clock. ' .
Tub Savannah Jlepulitican tins been informed
that a diabolical attempt was mado on Wednes
day night, to destroy tho down passenger train
on the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, about ono
and a half miles above Valdosta, by placing two
croes-tles nnd a string-piece across the track.
Tho obstructions, however, wore discovered by
the engineer la time to prevent any damage.
Had this fiendish attempt succeeded a wholesale
destruction of life and limb must have taken
placo, and wo hope the party concerned may bo
ferreted out and brought to justice.
The Cuthbcrt Appeal stales that the Clerk of
the Inferior Court of Randolph, 1ms rocclvod a
largo quantity of corn for distribution among
the poor and destitute of that county.
Tnn same papor says: The rain storm which
occurred tho previous week, exceeded in quanti
ty aud violence, any visitation of tho kind that
has visited this vicinity for many years previous.
Tho injury to the land from washing can hard
ly be estimated. One planter told us his fnrm, tho
next day, looked as though tho Chattahoochee
river had passed over its surface. Much cotton
has been destroyed also, and tho scarcity of seed
renders bad stands probable.
A gentleman from Calhoun county states
that on the 35th ultimo the most awful hail storm
on record fell in that region. Cotton and corn
wore cut to pieces, nnd wheat literally destroyed.
That important crop was iu the “boot" and
ready to shoot out, hence a clear sweep was
mado of it. Planters were plowing up their
grain to supply its place witli corn or some
other provision crop.
The Cuthbcrt Appeal expresses a liopc tlmt
uow tho court houso nt that place is onco more
in tho possession of tho civil authorities, tho
several courts will resume tlieir regular sessions
without fear of further interruption in tho ad
ministration of justice.
TnE Dawson Journal says: We are uow hav
ing splendid weather for the growing crops—
profusion of April showers, interspersed with
glorious sunshine. Corn in many fields is a foot
and a half in height, and it is generally in a
fine, healthful condition. The gardens present
a decidedly living aspect; “greens" (would that
they were greenbacks) arc abundant. Man and
beast seem to enjoy the prospect, and no one
would imagine that our cow belonged to au
editor.
The Citizen, Americus, says; A son ot Mr. J.
C. B. Smith, of this city, about seventeen years
of age, sickened on Wednesday ovoning last nnd
died tlio same evening. Ho was a brother of
Aliss Anna Smith, whoso sudden and mysterious
death occurred a week or two ago. This dis
ease, we understand, was of a congestive char
acter.
The Citizen also states that on Wednesday last,
Col. G. M. Dudley, who lias been a practitioner
of law for forty years, took formal leave of his
brethren of tlio profession, in open court, his
Honor Judge Vason, having suspended business
for the occasion. Col. Dudley is prompted to
retirement by reason of age nnd feeble health,
which gives no promise of restoration at au early
day.
The Romo Courier of Saturday says: The
Convention of the M. E. Church, South, for
Rome District, assembled in this place yesterday.
There were some 70 or 80 delegates present.—
The Baptist and Presbyterian churches have
tendered their pulpits for the Sabbath. In the
absene.e of tho Bishop, the Convention wns or
ganized by the Rev. Mr. Haygood, Presiding El
der. Rev. J. W. Ileidt was elected Secretary,
and Samuel B. Smith, Assistant Secretary.
A fire occurred on Broughton street, Savan
nah, a few days ago, which destroyed property
to the amount of $3,000. No insurance.
Putnam Countv.—A correspondent of tlio
Macon Telegraph, in Putnam county, writes:
i lmro nun a out nine complaint about tho
freedmen working. Where they aro treated
well, (and that is uow pretty general) and well
led, they seem disposed to be industrious and
contented. Ono thing I fear, ns producing, or
rather continuing difficulties for next year similur
to tlioso which now surround us, nnd that is, I
tear our farmers aro planting too much cotton or
not enough corn.
Jinny of our most discreet farmers are putting
in about equal quantities of corn and cotton 1
think there is much wisdom in such a course
and if they allowed com to predominate lnrgelv'
it certainly would be to our advantage.
There is another difficulty we have to contend
with hero, which I presume is general: I allude
lo the scarcity of provisions to carry out first
calculations among the farmers. Jinny have
commenced on a much larger scale than they
cub “work up to.” A great many are now out
ot corn, many out of corn, bacon nnd money
nnd some without even friends to help them in
this great hour of their need.
Fatal Disaster.—Tho Mobile Advertiser ol
the 1st says:
Yesterday afternoon, at 5:45, the steamer
Sarah was Btruck by a violent tornado near Pas
cagoula. The steamer wns hove down over two
leet under water, and being broadside to the
wind, Iho engines and rudder had no effect upon
her. She remained in this position perhaps a
mmule, and then her entire cabin and upper
works were blown overboard, carrying ten per
sons with it. One of these ten clung to some
portion ol the wreck, and was pulled on board
again. One other was pulled up on a piece ol
floating wreck. Eight lives were lost, via: Jfr
George Jones, pilot; Clius. Jlcttee, steersman;
James JI. Qnlaham, clerk ; Jliss Jennie Tibbcts
and JIrs. Gen. O’Ferrell. The chambermaid
was also lost, and two passengers, whose names
nre unknown.
Spain.—Spain continues in a most unfortunate
condition, being continually on tlio brink of a
popular revolution. Letters from Spain state
that the present Spanish Government feels that
Us lease of power is near an end. The Queen is
said to have begun negotiations for the sale of
her landed estates, and 1ms besides sent the
greater part of her jewels and personal valua
bles into France and England.
Silk Worm.—Silk worms, after various ex
periments, it is found can be grown on oak trees,
and this kind of silk worm is being introduced
into Europe to so great an extent tlmt it is tho
belief there tlmt the oaks of European forests
will soon produce abundant silk crops, especially
in sections where tlie silk of the mulberry can
not bo produced.
No Doubt.—A Washington letter says tlio
radical politicians are anxious to secure a foot
hold in the South, because the ground is slipping
from under their feet in the North. Therefore
Radicul leaders are canvassing the South and
Radical organizations nre pressed to furnish
money for the campaign.
JIississippl—Two Mississippi editors had an
interview with the President tlio other day in re
lation to the condition of affairs in that State.
He said tlmt questions which have arisen rela
tive to registration would soon be decided by the
opinion of the Attorney General, nnd would of
course apply to all of the States.
Manslaughter.—'Tbos. Harrington, a soldier
in tho fltli regiment, was tried at Charleston a
few days ago b,v tbe civil courts for the killing of
Joseph Elliott, another soldier. Thejury returned
a verdict of manslaughter.
Attention, Star Gazers.—The following
pieco of encouragement is from llumbold’s Cos
mos, volume I., page 115: “The acute mind of
Gibers led him almost to predict tlmt the next
appearance of the phenomenon ol shooting stars
and fire balls, intermixed, falling like flakes ol
snow, would not occur until between the 12th
and 14th ol November, 1867."
The London Times says:—Judging from the
effect of each adverse rumor In Berlin or Paris,
tlie impression would seem to bo entertained
that any rupture between France aud Germany
would be tho signal for every nation in the world
to repudiate their obligations.
Wilson in North Carolina.—The Red
String party iu Nortli Carolina were so well
pleased v/ltli Senator Wilson's Bpeechat Raleigh
and other points in that Territory, that they en
dorse hill) for the next Presidency.
Tho iollowing appears In tho Augusta Consti
tutionalist ol Saturday:
“Yesterday moifnlng tho drowsy monotony of
our city was aroused and varied by the report
(which spread on the wings of tho wind and the
fleet coursora of tho officers of the police,) that

We seldom find it convenient to copy articles
from tho Washington Chronicle, for tlio reason
that they are generally made up of prejudice,
bitterness nnd misrepresentation. The follow
ing, however, is to some extent free from these
objections, and we therefore transfer it to our
columns. The Chronicle is speaking of tlie ten
States now under military domination and ex
eluded from all participation in tho Government
cxcopt tho precious privilege of taxation:
Onco admitted into the halls of Congress, they
will hold, and that very shortly, not the balance,
but the weight of power. Tlie late insurrec
tionary districts, as we havo grown accustomed
to call them, aro entitled, at a rough estimate, to
some eighty or ninety Representatives and some
twenty Senators. A few years, and this estimate
will be doubled or quadrupled. Witli free labor
and free schools the South will leap forward as
no section of this country over did before. She
is ripe for development. It is not witli her as
with a now and unpopulated country. All tlie
conditions of rapid and thorough development
are at hand. Her great cities are already loca
ted ; her great lines of travel are already stretch
ed out; her forests nre broken; her streams
known and navigated; her soils tested; her min
eral treasures tapped. Throughout her territory
courts arc open, tlie machinery ot local and mu
nicipal government is in working order and well
understood, and schools anil churches are sprin
kled from border to border. There are no wild
and hostile savages to exterminate; no im
passable mountains to be liewn through; nc.
malaria or deadly fevers to be conquered by tlie
slow approaches ot a gradual civilization. All
theso great obstacles which face the pioneers of
a new country and make the march of civiliza
tion like tho march of an army whose foremost
columns, no matter how daring or fearless, must
melt uway, havo been overcome. Tlie magnifi
cent. luxuriant South, bursting witli undevel
oped, perhaps undreamed of wealth, stands
to-day ready and waiting to bo entered in and
possessed. Like seed sown in good ground will
turn out all investments mado within her fertile
and willing bounds. She must be for tlie next
decade tlio commercial and financial El Dorado
of our land.
Other things being equal, she will outstrip the
jar aud unknown West simply because she is
known nnd within reach. Jlen will net care to
settle at the spurs of the Rocky JTountains and
on tlie boundless plains, where nt best they
could only hope to leave to their children the
advantages they mny themselves at onco onjoy
in fullness in the South of to day.
Telegraph Item.—The Lynchburg Itepubli-
can thus discourseth:
The attention o( tlie Tolegrnpliic Nows Asso
ciation is respectfully called to tlie fact tlmt we
do not receive tho peanut nmrkct from Raleigh,
Nortli Carolina, nor the cliinquepin quotations
from Danville, nor tlie soda-water “board" from
Galveston, Texas, nor tlie price of mint-juleps
in Dakotan, nor the torcli nnd turpentine fluctu
ations in Nashville, Tennessee. In consequence
of these and other important omissions, tlie com
mercial and industrial interests of all this sec
tion arc suffering severely.
JIemphis Printers.—Tlio Jlempliis Typo
graphical Union lias one huudred printers. Tlie
Corresponding Secretary reports business as very
dull, nnd an unusual number of printers out of
employment. Tlie Post says tlmt tlie members
ol tho Union aro making arrangements for the
proper recoption and entertainment of tlieir
brethren of tlie craft, who will be there as dele
gates to tlio National Typographical Conven
tion which meets iu tlmt city in June next.
Kentucky.—Reports are iu circulation that
Kentucky is to be placed under tlio command of
a military Governor. There arc States further
North that need reconstructing more than Ken
tucky.
The Dubuque Herald slates on tlie authority
of a gentleman from Minnesota, tlmt tlie Gover
nor of tlmt State is about to issue a proclama
tion urging tlie citizens to ship no more wheat
down the river till after harvest, owing to its
scarcity.
A letter hearing tlie following inscription
wns dropped into the Newark Post Office without
any stump: "Rummer's letter; shove It ahead;
dead broke and uary a rod. Postmaster, put this
letter through ; wlieu I get paid I’ll pay -you.’’
Jorum was told of a supper at which goblets
of ice, formed by evaporation, were used from

NEW YOBK ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCHES
