A Letter Wliiclr Never Went.
People who think the country is
progressing at a gallop never visit
thelrural hamlets, says the New
York Snn. I was in a small village
in NewJHampshire the other week,
when a woman came into the post
office, which was in the back endof
a general store. She had a letter'
in her hand marked “In haste.”
“Mr. Stubb3,” she said to the
postmaster, “won’t a cent carry
this letter?’
‘“No, Mrs. Judy.”
“Is postage stamps down any?”
“Just the same.”
“Will you lick on the stamp?”
“Ye’m.”
“It’s a letter I’ve. - writ to my sis
ter in Massachusetts.”
“Yes’m-”
“There ain’t no money in it.”
“No’m.”
“it’s just family news, you
know.”
“Very well.”
"Didn’t know but it might git
open, and so I used paste to stick
it.”
“Yes’m.”
“When will it go out?"
“In the morning.”
“And when’ll she get it?”
“In two days.”
“Will you warrant it?”
“Can’t do that Mrs. Judy,”
“You can,t! Then what’s the ase
o’ my sending it? That's what I
told ’em when you was app’inted
postmaster. I sayB: ‘Will Jim
Stubbs, who once beat my husband
out of a load of hay, warrant our
mail to be all wool and a yard wide,
or will the colors run on us and dye
the* crock?’ That’s what I asked,
Jim StabbB, and nobody has an
swered me yit."
“Do yon wish to send your lett-
ter Mrs. Judy?”
“No! I don’t take no chances.
She might git, and then ag’in she
mought’nt Samuel is goin’ down
that way in the spring, and he can
take it himBelf, and 2 cents don’t
|jrow every bush, Jim Stubbs!’’

The best razors no longer come
from Sheffield, and even English-
men are alive to the fact. The
best customers for razors are of
English and Scotch descent,
very few Germans or Irishmen act
as their own barbers. Formerly

American goods are generally pre
ferred, and some eastern makes are
very popular. The greatest run
the last two years has been on a
razor with a distinctly military
name, and although I have sold a
great many of the land I don’t
know where they are made. But
the fact is immaterial, for no pur
chaser ever finds fault with any
thing connected with one in any
respect save price, and even that is
not seriously objected to.—Inter

A New Yorker, who has recent
ly spent some time in the literary
circles of London, says that there
must be at least 100 biographies of
Mr. Gladstone already in manu
script, awaiting the event of his
death, at which time they will be
ready for publication in book form.
Beside these maauscripts, .there
are to be found in the pigeon holes
of the newspapers offices sketches
of the aged statesman’s life, in
readiness for the dispatches am
nouncing the end of his career
that may be received at any time.
Mr. Broughton, the English art
ist, expresses surprise at the mag

interiors in London where there is
such splendor of decoration and
furnishing, and at the same time
such thorough- good taste, as I
have seen here. The splendid
paintings, rare tapestries, porce
lains, bronzes, carvings and what
not are to be seen in a profusion
here that simply is bewildering.”
