READ THESE RULES.
IF TOU FOLLOW THEM YOUR LET
TERS WILL NOT GO ASTRAY*.
SOME VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS OFFERED
BV THE DEAD LETTER OFFICE THAT
SHOULD BE OBSERVED IN ORDER
TO INSURE THE DELIVERY OR
RETURN OF MAIL.
Tostmaster Watt has received a circu
lar from the Postoffice Department con-
veviuc much valuable information regard
ing the sending of letters. Postmaster
Watt says that if the directions which are
<7iven below are observed the conduct of
the business will be greatly facilitated
and the correct delivery of mail matter
rendered more certain:
Over six million Dieces of mail matter
are sent annually to the Dead Letter Office
by reason of incorrect, illegible,' or defi
cient address, insufficient postage,insecure
inclosing, whereby matter mailed becomes
separated from the envelope or wrapper,
or the failure to be called for or delivered
to the person addressed. This is a daily
average of over twenty thousand pieces.
Of the greater portion the addresses
cannot be found, notwithstanding every-
known means is resorted to on the part of
the postal officials to effect delivery.
Matter sent to the Dead Letter Office
which contains no valuable inclosure,
must be destroyed.
Letters opened and found to contain
anv inclosure of obvious value are en
tered upon proper records, and of such,
those which do not disclose sufficient in
formation to enable them to be returned
are filed, subject to reclamation upon
proper application and identification.
Packages and parcels are recorded, and
where they do not disclose the name and
address o'f the owner are filed; if not
called for or claimed within two years
they are disposed of at public auction and
the proceeds converted into the .United
States Treasury.
A large proportion of the packages and
parcels sent to the Dead Letter office fail
to be restored to the owners because of
the absence on the wrapper or inclosures
of anything to indicate ownership thereof.
Information as to the character and na
ture of the matter thus received at the
Dead Letter office, and the conditions and >
influences which occasion its failure to
reach the persons to whom the senders de
signed it to go may be of interest, and the
mere statement of it carry with it sugges
tions which may serve the public in its
exercise of postal privileges.
Misdirection, incorrect, illegible and de
ficient address are given in as leading
causes which occasion the failure of mail
matter to reach its proper destination, and
affect alike that which is so addressed to
either city, town, or village.
The following suggestions, if observed,
will aid the dispatch and delivery of mat
ter sent through tile mails, or its return di
rectly to tlie sender in the event of non
delivery, and thus prevent the annoyance,
delay and embarrassment caused by send
ing matter to the Dead Letter Office.
Mail matter should be plainly and cor
rectly addressed, the name of the postof
fice to which it is to be sent should be
clearly and distinctly stated, and to avoid
confusion from the similarity of abbrevia
tions, as frequently used, the name of the
State should also be given in full. In the
case of mail addressed to small offices of
like names in different States, the name
of the county should be added.
Where mail matter is addressed to
cities or free delivery offices the street and
house number, or postoffice number of
the person addressed are important, and
should always be given when it is possible
to do so.
Where this cannot be done, the busi-
nees or employment of the person ad
dressed, if stated, will often secure de
livery.
Letters addressed to persons tempora
rily sojourning iu a city where the letter
carrier system is in operation should be
marked “Transient,” or “General Deliv
ery” if not addressed to a street and num
ber, or some other designated place of de
livery.
The name and address of the sender
•either printed or written, should be. placed
upon the upper left hand corner of the
•envelope or wrapper of all matter mailed.
This will secure its immediate return to
the sender from the mailing office for cor
rection, if improperly addressed, insuffi
ciently paid, or otherwise defective.
Letters and all other matter mailed, so
marked with the name and address of the
sender, that should fail to be called for or
delivered to|tlie person addressed and upon
which full letter rates of postage has been
paid are not sent to the Dead Letter Of
fice, but are returnable to the sender di
rectly—without additional charge, and
with the reason of non-delivery indorsed
thereon.
If it is borne in mind that only such un
claimed and undelivered letters and other
matter prepaid at full letter rates of post
age as do not bear the name and address
of the sender, and such other matter
mailed at less than letter rates of postage
as does not bear a request for its return,
is required to be set to the Dead Letter
Office, the importance of the suggestion
in respet to placing the name and address
■of the sender, etc., on all matter mailed,
is apparent.
All matter mailed at less than letter
rates of postage must be so wrapped or in
closed that it can be readily examined at
the office of delivery, as well as at the
mailing office, without destroying the
wrapper; otherwise it is subject to letter
postage.
Persons desiring to mail matter other
than letters to foreign countries should
consult their postmasters, who being pro
vided with the postal laws and regula
tions, are enabled to give proper informa
tion respecting conditions, etc., etc., of
mailing to foreign countries.
All valuable matter to be sent by mail
should be registered. It will thus receive
such protection as it is not always possible
to give to matter sent in the ordinary
mails. Money should be sent by money
•order or registered letter.
Proprietors of hotels should omit the
return request from envelopes supplied
gratuitously to their guests; and guests
using envelopes furnished by hotels should
be careful to designate what disposal
llkpuld be made of letters sent by them in
case w. non-delivery.
In seeding packages and parcels—books,
pamphlet's and other articles—by mail, the
address should be placed on the article in
closed as well as on the wrapper.
Should the wrappers become detached,
as they frequently do, through the hand
ling incident to mail transportation by
sea"or land, it may be possible to restore
the article if the precaution is taken.
While the efficiency of the postal sys-
t em and service has attained high stand
ard, the public may materially aid in the
fuller and more complete delivery of its
mail matter, or the prompt return of the
same to the sender in cases where the de
livery from any cause cannot be effected,
if the foregoing suggestions are con
formed to.
NOTES FROM SEALE.
INTESESTING GOSSIP FROM RUSSELL'S
COUNTY SEAT.
Seale, September} 27.—[Special.]—
Seale High School now numbers nearly
seventy pupils.
Dr. B. W. Allen will leave Seale in Oc
tober and settle at Troy, Ala. We regret
to make this statement. Dr. Prather, of
Florence, Ga., who will succeed Dr. Allen
here, has been here looking around for a
day or two this week. He will bring his
family to Seale and will occupy the Hol
land residence.
Mr. W. H. Holland will move his fam
ily to Columbus or Troy. There will be
many changes here this fall and much
moving will be going on.
I inadvertently omitted in my last com
munication mention of the fact that Miss
Corinne Evans, who was elected principal
of the school at Smith’s Station, had also
been elected principal of the Girls High
School at Clayton, Ala. Owing to the un
willingness of the Clayton school trustees
to select another than Miss Evans, she
gave up the school at Smith’s Station and
will teach the one at Clayton. Miss Bettie
M. Evans will take the school at Smith’s
Station.
The infant child of Sheriff and Mrs.
Ragland has been quite ill for a week or
more, but is now much better.
Very little sickness of a serious nature
about here now.
The weather is not favorable to cotton
picking—too much rain. It looked
Wednesday as if the equinoctial gale had
set in, and still seems threatening. There’s
a faint breath of winter in the air, enough
to remind us of that drear season.
The depot house here is receiving a
new covering of shingles, which adds to
the comfort of the building, but which is
excruciating to those near that place by
reason of the incessent hammering. The
Central Railroad Company has put the
building in good repair for the winter.
While writing of this I will call attention
to the urgent need of another waiting
room there. The room once used by white
people has by order of the company been
given over to the negroes, and this
forces the white passengers to wait
in the Telegraph and Express Office.
The inconvenience and annoyance of this
arrangement is very great, not only to
travelers but to the agent. Crowded into
a small space with a crowd of other peo
ple, all trying to outdo each other in ask
ing questions useless and annoying in the
extreme, the agent must answer these, at
tend to the instrument, sell tickets and
take train orders all at the same time. It
is not fair to the public and most unjust
to the agent this arrangement, and should
be changed before the winter traffic sets
in. I am told that a petition is being pre
pared by the citizens here, asking the rail
road company to give them a comfortable
waiting room.
UNION SPRINGS.
A NIGHT BLOOMING CEREUS—A SOCIAL
SENSATION.
Union Springs, Ala., September ' 27.
—[Special.]—The correspondent of the
Enquirer-Sun from this place, by special
invitation, bad the pleasure of witnessing
a sight which in this country is remark
able, pleasing and rare. Just before 8
o’clock last evening a crowd of invited
guests had assembled at the residence of
Airs. Caroline Hunter for tlie purpose of
witnessing tlie blooming of the beautiful
and fragrant flower known as the Night-
blooming Cereus. From seven different
points the plant, early iu the evening, be
gan to throw back the outer leaves and
show to the assembly filled with wonder
the snow-white petals enclosed within
a deep pink bud. Unlike the most
of flowers, yet characteristic of
evening beauties, one could easily note
tlie falling back of the petals as they sep
arated to develop the lovely blossom,
which, when full blown, measures fully
fi/e inches across. The flower is composed
of a great many pure white petals on a
long, pink, hollow, curved stem which
springs out from a green leaf about two
and a half inches wide and nearly the
eighth of an inch in thickness. Six of the
flowers seen by the correspondent, opening
simultaneously, were so near together as
to form one large, white cluster, which, to
do justice to the beauty, would require a
description in the lauguage and portraying
power of Mrs. Augusta E. Wilson.
This plant was brought from Texas a
little more than two years ago, and requir
ed much protection and attention. At that
time it was a small leaf which grew rapid
ly, and now it covers a large flower pot;
one branch shoots up vertically to the
height of five feet, while the other sprigs
have a tendency to droop. It is a species
of the cactus common in the southern part
of Texas and Mexico. This waxen flower
is to us a curiosty; the petal part strongly
resembles the water lily, the pollen
brarens seem to be interwoven, and the
piston, which protrudes, is tipped with
long, fine points. In order to see this
lovely flower, which is short-lived, one
must watch the buds at night, for ere the
morning has dawned it is but a withered
mass, thus bringing to mind one of the
prettiest stanzas in Gray’s Elegy:
“Full many a gem of purest ray serene.
The dark nnfathomed oaves of ocean bear;
Full many a flow’r is borne to blush unseen
And waste its fragrance on the desert air.”
DEATH OF BISHOP FARAUD.
FORTY YEARS A MISSIONARY AMONG THE
INDIANS.
Winnepeg, September 27.—Bishop
Farraud, of Athabasca, died yesterday at
tlie Arch Episcopal palace at St. Boniface.
He died from a general breaking down of
the system the result of forty years ardu
ous work among the Indians of the far
Northwest. He came to St. Boniface from
France in 1846, and was there ordained a
Priest. After spending two years on the
Red river valley, he left for the far off
mission fields of Athabasca and the
McKinzie river district.
A COLLAPSED BRIDGE
CAUSES THE DROWNING OF A RUSSIAN
REGIMENT.
Vienna, September 27.—The Polish
journals assert that during the recent
manouvres of the Russian army at Kayno,
the Krasnostaw bridge collapsed, and that
400 soldiers belonging to the Pullann regi
ment, which was crossing the bridge at
the time of the accident, were thrown into
the water and drowned. The papers state
that among those who lost their lives was
Gen. Bardowsky. There has been no offi
cial confirmation of this report.
MOUNTAIN TRAVEL
QUEER NAMES OF THINGS AND
CHILDREN,
AND QUEER WAYS OF THE PEOPLE WHO
ABIDE IN CA’LINY MOUNTAIN REG
IONS—A BRAVE AND TOUGH
MOUNTAIN MARE, THAT
GETS THEBE.
Bull Mountain, Buncombe County,
N. C., September 26.—[Special.]—I left
Spruce Pine on my way south,on the 18th.
Following a somewhat round about
course I crossed the Toe river several
times.
The naming of this river was always a
mystery which my curiosity itched to solve.
It must have been an Indian name, I
thought—how then, Toe? And, if not an
Indian name, why Toe, anyhow? I asked
this question of a young gentleman I met
up on the Roan, and who had traveled
about pretty extensively in this vicinity,
and he replied, very glibly, to the effect
that the river was so called from the old
fields of tow along it. This was unsatis
factory, as tow isn’t toe. So I afterwards
applied to a distinguished person, who has
been prominent in the opening up and im
proving this country for many years, for
information, telling him the young drum
mer’s version. The D. P. laughed loudly
over the young man’s “fields of tow,” and
said the only tow he knew of the people
raising along the Toe was a tremulous and
unfailing crop of tow-headed children, and
that Toe was merely an abridgment of the
original Indian name, Estatoe.
These people almost universally give un
couth and grotesque names to their sur
rounding localities; sometimes they have a
local descriptiveness, and, as often, are ap
parently without significance. The sug
gestions of Caney river, Roaring creek.
Hollow Poplar creek, Little-rock and Big-
rock creeks, Pigeon-roost creek, Bad creek,
Bulls Head mountain, Sharp Top, Elk-
horn, Potato Top, Bee Tree and Lost
Cove, are obvious enough; but why Greasy
cove, Greasy creek, or Stinking cove. I
have not been able to find out.
Neighborhoods are usually distinguished
by the name of the creek upon which they
are situated; and apropos of this fact, I
heard a funny dialogue the other day.
There is a Hominy creek out west of here,
and one gaunt, lack-luster mountaineer
said to another in a very friendly tone:
“Wasn’t you raised on Hominy?” “Naw,”
said the other, straightening up wrath-
fuliy, “I’s raised on jes’ ez good vittles ez
you wuz!”
. The ouly incident that occurred to break
in on tlie pleasant monotony of my morn
ing’s ride, was a funny little scene at a
tiny log school house beside the road.
There was a big shady spring just across
from the school house, and here I alighteu
to get a drink. Througli the doorway-
guiltless of a door—I could see that there
was an excitement within. Presently I
heard the sound of a switch being applied
vigorously, and saw the teacher—a young j
woman—chastising a vicious-looking, red- j
headed girl of about twelve; and just as I j
mounted and rode away a shrill, fierce I
voice screeched out, “I wishttamuddie ef I !
don’t tell Pap!”
Phebe and I stopped for our dinner at a j
bouse which, in any of the Northern j
states, or in anymore enlightened part of i
the country, one would have expected to !
contain plenty of the comforts of life, if !
not luxurious refinements—a good-sized j
frame house, surrounded by a large and j
quite prosperous looking farm. But it is j
not means alone (not, indeed, meaus so j
much) these people lack, as the science of
living, and when they become able to buy
or build a good comfortable house they
live in it, not like owners and proprietors,
who know and value the comforts and
conveniences they have provided them- !
selves with, and use them accordingly, but j
like robbers—base usurpers—who, hav- !
ing stolen or wrongfully seized a
fine thing, know not how to en
joy it, but use it ignorantly and
disrespectfully and have small gain of their
theft. The big rooms were bare and unin
viting; three frowzy beds stood in the
room where I ate my dinner; drying apples
were spread out over the porch floors and
in most of the rooms; there was not such
a thing as a comfortable chair or a book in
sight in the house; the windows were
grimy, and everything about the place
dingy and unappetising to the last degree.
The woman who waited upon me was a
gentle, patient, faded creature of about
nineteen, who had been married at
thirteen, and had three very pret
ty and phenomenally dirty chil
dren. These, according to a very prev
alent taste hereabouts for the bizarre
and striking in Christian names, she called
respectively, Belva Lockwood, Delta
Leonie and Nigary Aldecky. Belva (or
Belvy) Lockwood, she believed they had,
some of them about the place, found in a
book—she couldn’t read herself. Nigary
came out of some book, too—it was “the
name of some big falls of water,” they
said, and a young man traveiln’ through
had named Deity. When I went to leave
the kind soul thought 20 cents ample re
muneration for my dinner and Phebe’s,
and said she didn’t feel right to charge a
“lone woman” anything.
My head ached in a threatening sort of
way after dinner, and leaving Burnsville to
my right I pushed on, intending to reach,
if possible, the house of the Mount Mitch
ell guide by evening. As I left the more
open country and followed up toward the
“head o’ the water,” into the very heart of
the mountains, the way became more rug
ged, and anything like settlements smailer,
fewer and further apart. Each miserable
little cabin had, in addition to .he small
field of com, some sweet potatoes and
maybe a few fruit trees, its patch of to
bacco, one of the prime necessities among
these people here, who all chew it, down
to the little girls and boys of six and
seven. The money spent among them for
snuff and tobacco, or the time and labor
expended in raising and preparing the
home made article, would put them a long
way on the road to comparative comfort.
The North Carolina mountaineers were
quite unanimously union in their sympa
thies and are now generally good Republi
cans; but I rode past one household in my
afternoon’s trip that was certainly a strik
ing exception to the general political com
plexion.
Three picturesquely dirty little tow
headed brats—the two younger ones wear
ing copper as colored cotton dresses, the
oldest, possibly six—simply and effectively
clad in a red woolen undershirt that just
escaped the ground, tied at the neck with
a leather string, and having the sleeves
gracefully fastened up by the same means,
were playing, with all the pretty affection
ateness of tiger cubs or young hyenas, in
front of a more than usually wretched hut.
Suddenly in the melee, the youngest bit
the dust and bawled ont, “Maw, make
Thurman lemmeTone!” “YouThurman!
Stop pesterin’ Cleveland,” responded a
voice from the hut.
“I haint fetched ’im,” squeaked he of
the red shirt, “it’s Hendricks.”
As I rode on my head grew worse and
worse. I missed the obscure and little-
traveled road that leads to Big Tom Wil
son’s—the Mount Mitchell guide; there
wasn’t a house anywhere that looked at all
promising for a night’s comfortable lodg
ing—to say nothing of any remedies or
nursing. But finally, when the whole
world was reeling around me, and every
step Phebe took rent the sky with jagged
lightnings, and sent bolts of agony tearing
through my brain, I stopped at a house
and called. A woman came out, and as in
a dream I remember her helping me down
and into the house. I got to bed, and
finally, after many hours, to sleep, and
slept off my headache. About 10 o’clock,
I suppose, I suddenly started awake.
There was a spot of dim, smoky light in
the gloom, and within this circle a
wizened, drawn face trembled, nodded,
bobbed up and down with its dark eyes
fixed earnestly and inquiringly upon me.
At this startling vision of nightmare I
lay blinking for some moments, when the
voice of the woman who had helped me in
spoke: “How d’ye feel now?”
“Better,” said I, dazedly.
“I jest come in t’ see ef ye’d like some
thin’ t’ eat ’fore we all went to bed.”
I said I didn’t want anything, and as
my eyes became accustomed to the light I
saw it was the same woman of the after
noon, only in my distracting pain I hadn’t
noticed that she had a shaking palsy. She
recalled most vividly old Angela in the
“Eve of St. Agnes” of Keats, and looked
very much “A poor, affrighted, trembling,
church yard thing,” in the uncertain
light of the smoking, chimneyless little
brass lamp she carried.
Well, I was quite recovered in the
morning, but it rained in the style and
manner generally known as “cats and
dogs” all day long, and I was a prisoner.
The floor of the room in which I slept—
that part of it not occupied by three beds —
was covered with drying apples, spread
out on sheets, counterpanes and old dress
skirts. Here, of course, I was expeel ed to
comb my hair and make my entire toilet,
and here I made it, thinking that if they
could stand it I—who never eat dried ap
ples—ought to be able to. I heard loud,
romping and scuffling going on several
times, and much squealing and giggling;
and as I went out to breakfast, I saw a
boy of about sixteen, and an extremely
handsome girl of apparently fifteen, with
black eyes and a mop of curling black hair,
run out on the porch.
‘ ‘Zony! Y*ou Arizonv!
“Sam! Y*ou Sam,” called my “kindly
crone,” and added apologetically to me,
“Them chil’n’s bad as two pet b'ars when
ever they git together. Zony’s been mar
ried a year er two an’ they don’t git to see
each other often.” I learned later that
this term “pet b’ars,” meant something in
this family. There had hardly ever been
a time when they were without one or two
iu the house, the father and older sons all
being famous and inveterate hunters.
There were shotguns ali about the house,
several hanging upon the loom where a
piece of butternut-colored jeaus was in
process of construction. The woman of
the family seemed to do pretty much all
tlie work, Sammie even refusing non-
chantly to get the cows for his favorite,
Arizony, and sauntering off with his gun.
“G’ way f’om hyer, you ol’ rabbit huntin’
thing,” 1 heard her to say to him, as she
returned with two big buckets of milk aud
he came dodging about her with a couple
of rabbits.
I learned that evening that Big Tom
Wiison was absent in Asheville and was
not expected borne for several days. Also,we
had had much rain and the ascent and de
cent of Nit. Mitchell would be an exceed
ingly difficult and disagreeable, if not dan
gerous undertaking, to Phebe and myself
until after several days of dry weather.
So I resolved to push on toward Asheville
as rapidly as possible, as 1 was a good deal

tired and began to wish for a brief taste of
the comforts of civilization.
To this end Sammy volunteered to set
me in the main Ashville road by a short
cut of three miles if I thought I could
“ride a mighty rough trail.” I, not know
ing what a mighty rough trail might
mean, thought I could, and it was agreed
we should set out the next morning—
early. But it is one thing to talk of get
ting an early start or doing anything on
time among these people, and quite an
other thing to do. it. A more sisyphus
task than that of trying to hurry them
up I cannot imagine. Whether their
utter lack of restless ambi
tion, and nervous energy comes
from a sort of hopelessness or is an indi
cation of real content, whether their calm,
lazy serenity is the stolid acceptance of a
hard fate, or the expression of a stupid
indifference, I do not know; but I do
know it is a perfect thing of its kind, and
would be interesting and amusing were it
not so exasperating. “It’s getting
late, isn’t it,” I asked desperately, as they
started one of the hounds after a chicken
for breakfast the next morning.
“Naw, I don’t think it’s pow’ful late,”
answered the old weman. And so it must
have been 10 o’clock when we finally got
started; and what a “trail” it was! My
wildest imagination would never have led
me to conceive that mounted men—to say
nothing of women—could go up and down
the sides of such ravines, across such
boulder-filled creeks and over such logs as
we did on that vile cattle path. Still, we
struggled on, up and down, and through
underbrush where my baggage was more
than once torn from its stout moorings on
my saddle.
“Humph! Phebe ’lows to get that,”
said Sammy with a grin; and indeed she
did. She tackled every hardship, every
obstacle, with the same fine, dauntless air
and carried me gallantly along where Sam
my’s heavier horse struggled and fairly
groaned. And she’s such a dainty crea
ture, so marvelously light and sure of foot,

and so iron to endure. When we came to
a horribly steep place—a regular jump-off
—she would extend a tenative forefoot
over the edge, then, after a moment’s
pause, drop it lightly down, then the other,
drawing her bent hind-legs far under her,
thus carrying me on a nearly level saddle
down the worst and steepest places.
We traveled right on until 5 o’clock
without stopping for a moment’s rest or
any dinner, and going nine-tenths of the
way over very steep mountain roads and
'she brought me up to this place, appa
rently as fresh and brisk as we started out.
She is not altogether a saint, indeed I
am reluctantly compelled to admit that she
lays her little ears back wickedly when
one goes near her—myself not excepted—
and seems to distrust all humanity. I
think she has had her confidence abused;
but I am slowly winning her with soft
speeches and hard apples, and hope that
by the time we get heme we shall be on
the best of terms.
