POST OFFICt CURIOSITIES. Funny Names for Offloes-- Our Cartar" Honored. St. Louis Poet-Dispatch. The forthcoming report of Ilia Postmas ter General will ahow that thia great coun try has now over 50 0,0 post-offices for Its over 60 000,010 people, or about one for each 1000 persons. There are some curi ous facts connected with tbe administra tion of so large ail iusiitullon as this. The employes of the department number over a hundred thousand Of conr,e the sum required to run to large an establish- ruent is something enormous. The sala ries of postmasters alone amount to near ly 310000.000, aud the sum pail for trans portation of mails 325.000,000. The num ber of post-offices is increasing ateadlly at the rate of orer 2.0)0 a year. The task of tbe fellow who fixes names for all of these is a pretty serious one. Of coarse the people ol the section where the offices are to he located are allowed to fix a name eo far as possible, but in many esses they select s name already given to some office in tbe Bute, snd of course it cannot be used. Then they are permitted to make some other selection, and so on almost in definitely. It often happens, however, that the post-office official! are compelled to finally select, or that in their dear air the citizens who hare the selecting of tbe name, by having frequently soma name already in use in the State, jump at some ridiculous name altogether unheard of be fore, or select one suggested by some pe culiar surroundings.

It wou'd be more correct to say that Cleveland's nom ination was more tbe excuse than tbs oc casion of the change iu the Irish heart. The underlying cause was the free trade doc trines of the majority of the Democrats in Congress, for, long before Cleveland was nominated, the Republican managers be gan laying p'naa for capturing Irish votes on the idea that free trade would help the English manufacturers. Cleveland's nomination, therefore, only furnished an excuse for the Irish desertions. 50 Dozen Gents' Linen Handkerchiefs at 10 Cents Worth 20 Cents 500 TOILET QUILTS AT S1.00, WORTH ltt vou for - i Want you to Beet other Party 8 > mill.
