Tiiu Sr.vti Kout.5 Fawns.? V table of the star
routes, wliich are now the subject of investigation,
sliows the manipulation of ninety-three
routes out of 0,225. whereby the annual cost of
the ninety-three ri-utes was raised between July
1, 1878, and Jauiiiry 1, I88d, from $727,110 to
S2.80J.211^. The regular appropriation for. tar
route service for the yonr ending June 30, 1880,
was $5,OtX*,000. Of this amount $2,802,214
was absorbed by the ninety-three routes embraced
in the table, leaviug $3,007,780 for the remaining
0,132 routes. - The frauds seem to have
been mainly in connection with the routes in
Louisiana, Texas, Indian Territory, Kansas, Nebraska,
Dakota, Molilalia, Wyoming, Colorado,
Nrw Mexico, Aril >na, Utah, ldnlK, Oregon,
Nevada and California. The rates of increase
'obtained by contractors in many of these enres
are enormous. One routo in Indian 'territory
was swelled from $0,000 to $150,000; one in
Dakota from $2,350 to $70,000; one in Wyoming
from $11,000 to $90,000 ; one in Colorado
f oin $380 to {8,133, etc., ctc? 11 <o isidcring
the aggregate incrensed pay shown by the table,
it should be borne in mind that the increase extends
over the remainder of tlio oiniraot term,
the full term being four years. Assuming that
three years is the average period for which the
increased pay would run on Hie ninety three
routes described, the aggregate or the arbitrary
awards on these routes would be $6,275,285.?

A Losixa Joke.?A prominent physician of
Pittsburg said jokingly to a lady patient who
Wns complaining of her continued ill health,
and of his inability to cure her, "try Hop Bitters
1" The lady lock it for earnest and used
the Bitters, from which she obtained permanent
lioilth. She now laughs at the dootor for his
.Joke, but he is not so well pleased with it, as
it oost him a good patient.?Harritburgh Patriot.

i- Every school needs such teachers, and all teachers
can become such by proper application.
We think that those who canuot master the
branches of study above mentioned, sufficiently
to take a first grade certificate, have mistaken
their calling and should retire from the school
room. Wo think that all teachers who arc confident
of their proficiency, will consider it only
a plensant duty to come before the Boaid for
