ADVERTISING BATES
Are very reasonable, and will be furnished npoo
application.
TKi.aritONE No. 10.
TO SUBSCRIBERS.
The management of The Post is
miking an earnest effort for the
prompt delivery of the paper to every
subscribe r. Anyone who fails to get
bis paper, will confer a favor by re
porting the fact to the business oilice,
114 Richmond street.
TO ADVERTISERS.
All contract advertisers will please
arrange to have the copy for any
changes or for new advertisements,
sent -to the business oilice of The
Post the day before the change is
to be made. The management will
esteem it a special favor if this re
quest is complied with.
AN EXPLANATION.
The editorial and reportorial work,
proof reading and business manage
ment of The Post for the last two
days, has all been dor.e by
one man.
This is not told boastingly, but is
byway of explanation and apology
for whatever has been lacking in the
paper during that time.
This work has heretofore been
done by foyr men, and one moment’s
thought by any reader of The Post,
will convince him that there is some
excuse if the paper, for two or three
days, has fallen below its standard.
The management cannot say ex
actly how long this will last. It
cannot possibly last long, tor the
man who is doing the work can only
bold out at this rate a few days.
But Tin: Post is now in telegraphic
communication with a first class
newspaper man, who will probably
be here in a day or two, and this man
with the reporter who is sick, will
be aldo to furnish a first class news
paper. If the friends of The Post
will be patient a few days, every
thing will be made right.
King William, of Holland, will at
any time turn aside from business to
have a game of cards.—Exchange.
Our wisest thought is the one
which we always lack words to ex
press. Foolish thoughts find easy
expression.
Mb. Hooo, of Texas, is mentioned
as a presidential candidate. He
might have some, influence with
Fftince in the present pork trouble.
The Post knows a number of peo
ple in Brunswick who will do the
same thing, in fact many will turn
away from work to do almost any
easy thing.
The New York Evening Telegram
uses the expression of "“No more bet
ter.” Everything goes in New York.
Macon Telegraph.—A good many
things go in Brunswick too.

It is said, that in the recent Maine
election, boodle was scattered by re
publicans most profusely. At one time
$50,000 in one and two dollar bills
being drawn out of a bank and used
up in two days. When all else/ails,
money will do the work.
The little country town of Bruns
wick wants the “Zoo" which the
Post mentioned a few days ago.!
Much favorable comment has been
made on the subject, and in a few
days a line of action will be an
nounced.
Speaking of the detects in the een-1
hus enumeration, the Louisville
Courier Journal says: "The main I
trouble was that |a large majority of
the census takers were political ad
venturers, without the intelligence or
education to tit them for the work
undertaken.”
•,"r™ i . .
The Philadelphia Press ’>us an
editorial with the caption. "Let us
have the next House.” This re
quest is wanting in modesty, and can
not be granted. The history of the
past nine months shows that the re
publican party does not know what
to do with the house when it has it,
and the country will not again in
trust it with power which it has so
greatly abused.
EXECUTIVE DISCRETION.
Much adverse comment is indulg
ed upon the proj osition to allow the
President to impose or release, at his
discretion, certain duties that would
be involved in the proprosed recip
rocity with the South American
States. West Indies and < inada.
The Post finds nothing in this plan
to induce hysterics. Congress has
for more than a hundred years in
trusted to the secretary of the
treasury, under the direction of the
President, a far wider and more im -
portant range of discretion that it is
suggested shall be given the Presi
dent in the reciprocity amendment (
of the tariff bill. On his own motion l
Secretary Windom h:*.s been offering
to advance a year's interest ou many
millions of dollars of the govern
ment's indebtedness, and he does ■
this, not as all say, pursuant to a'
specific law, but under a general pro
vision of the revised statutes that i
have stood the test of experience for ■
thirty years. Secretary Fairchild
arbitrarily increased the number of'
government depository banks by’ two
or three score, and placed in them ’
and other banks that had already
been designated as depositories,
some $51,0(10,000 of the surplus cash
in the treasury. At its discretion,
and paying such ’'ates us the head of
the department pleased, the treasury
has, in the l ist twenty years, pur
chased several hundred millions of
bonds for the sinking fund and to
work off surplus revenue. The Post
could multiply these instances of
discietionary administration power
almost indefinitely, and will mention
one more: The tremendous discre- ,
tionary power given the secretary by j
the act to enable the government to I
resume specie payments. The ex
ercise of these powers alf'GCtoil every
interest of the people, and In four '
years, IB7G-1880, worked a complete i
transformation of the fiscal system, (
both in material and methods.
None of the acts of the •executive,
mentioned, have failed to stand the ;
closest scrutiny of congress, the
press ami the people.
In fact, our political history de
monstrates that wisely’ conferred ami
properly limitel discretion, has never
been abused by any President or
cabinet officer who assumedly acted ■
by direction of the President, and ;
there is no other way by which the
reciprocity plan can be put in opcr-i
ation.
Thr l.lcciiNe of Novelties.
if a clever writer can reconcile it to ’
his interests and artistic conscience we
should allow him to attempt the feat of
making impossibilities seem probable,
and extravagances appear real. He may
people a mad world of his own imagin
ing with demons ami angels sharply
divided. He may introduce the spirit- I
ual or supernatural machinery, which I
seldom works very smoothly, even when '
put together by a Bulwer the story of
"The Haunted and the Haunters'’is an
exception mid which is exceedingly j
likely to break down. But of course
he must hazard all that at his own risk,
and with the betting very heavily in 1
favor of seeing his clever novel east
aside.
Extravagances are one thing and ab
surdities another, and we are not speak
ing of those simply trashy tissues of
folly by lunatics with no sort of literary I
vqration, which will not even serve the
purpose of soporifics to any girl of dis
cretion who is out of her teens. We
think the most permanently popular j
novels, those which have become the
classics or favorites of successive gen- [
orations, although inspired by the gen
ius of a glowing imagination, will bo
found to bo those which have kept
most closely to actualities and hold up
the mirror to veritable persons.—Sat
urday Review.
Preparation of .’Manuscript.
Each pad of a hundred sheets of the
paper that I use has a foundation of
colored cardboard. When I begin the
manuscript of a story I take two of the
foundation pieces, lay them face to |'
face, and pierce holes in them with a i
good sized awl, on the left hand side, I
at a distance of three inches from the
top and bottom and one-half inch from [
the edge. Through these holes a tape
is passed, which is tied in a bow knot,
forming a book cover which can readily
be enlarged as the pile of manuscript i
grows thicker. I lay the sheets between
the oov ers, face down, as 1 finish them, |
thus having at all times a neat and
handy \ olume to look ovpr.
When the whole manuscript is com
pleted I join the covers In the back by
pasting a strip of black muslin, lapping
nearly 1111 bielx 0,1 th® edge of each cov
er, taking care to have the muslin just
wide enough to forma firm back Then
I take the tape out of the holes, fur
nish each of these with A separate end
of string and tie them into clasps. On
the top cover I paste a label, liearing
tlie title of the l>ook It seems like an
elaborate process, but one need only to
try it once to see how simple it is, and
the manuscript remains neat during the
natural course of its existence. Cor.

THE KEPT PROMISE.
I tn the nioslsm city of Kliorasan.
I Adjudging tho people trout bin divan,
Sat Onlar. the pitiless, haughty khan.
i lt<> had sentenced i.ssaanln, knave and thief.
\n«l he called to his guard with ord -r brief:
■ Now bring to me hither th : vizi--. chief
, “Who dared defy my bidding. He
Who let from his camp.niy foe go free,
. Because he had shared Ins salt, shall see
i "That the man who can break his promise, led
: By a fancied duty, nor risk inste.pl
j Ute rather than do it, must !<»sh Ids head.”
■ The vizier was summoned. With hurried words i
: He told how tv chief of the hostile Kurds.
, Who seemed hut a shepherd of flocks and herds,
j Had come to his tent, his eyeballs dim
I'hrough hunger, and gaunt in every limb.
V.’liat cmud I but break ifty bread with him?”
I Tie* fats* of the khan grew wroth; his eye
l-'la.she.l lire; he deigned but curt reply:
The s"l 11.-r who breaks bis word mu-: tile!”
: Sit pallor the vizier's check o’erspread;
, ■ tn lits Itostnn he only dropped ills head;
“It U fate, it Is fate!" he grimly said.
I "1 am ready, O master, to meet the worst
I But riot till your kindness grants me first
' A vessel of water to quench my thirst.
| “Shall the scimitar stay tiU I tlrink?” Quick o'er
i I'he forehead of Omar, so harsh before,
I I fawned something like pity: “Till then, no more."
' The water was brought. The vizier's brow
Shone brighter. “We all of ns hoard you vow
Till then.’ Your promise is pledged me now!”
■ Then he flashed on the ground the goblet. "So.
You have snared me, knave:" said the khan.
“But no—
| I never will break a promise—Go!”

Carefully Aci-urate.
A student of ancient history, seeing '
the statement that a certain fanions
’ character in litetory had died 1030 A. ;

i some surprise, "How exceedingly care- ■
I ful those ancients were about noting
i little circumstances.”

asked.
"Why, they even tell the time of '
: day tlmt a great man dies. We don’t do
that now.”
“1 think you are mistaken,” replied
the teacher.
"No, 1 am not; here it is: 'His death

Signal- from a Police Club,
A police ofilcer of Chicago lias de-
■ vised an ingenious mode of signaling
for the patrol wagon. He has a brass
i plate fixed in.tlie end of his chib, hav- ?
ing an opening of suitable shape tocor- '
I respond with and act as a k< y or wrench
to turn tlie lever that sends in the
, alarm. This opening also serves as a
mouthpiece to a whistle set in the base
of the club. This is a most practical
device, for the subjects of arrest are,
i as a rule, neither very obliging nor
1 amiable, and certainly not prone to re- |
main peaceful and inactive while an
I officer is extracting his keys from bis (
