While the railroad companies are some
times blsmed for not living op to their
contracts with Government in the matter
of carrying ihe mails, it happens
now and then that trains are delayed
through the stowoess or incompetency
of servants of the Postoffice Department.
Two firms of attorneys have been oriran
{zed in Washington, D. C., (or the express
object of prosecuting the claims of
railroads against the Government for
damages arising from such delays and
errors.
A little Swiss Canton with socialistic
tendencies has lately adopted a law of

Two purveyors of coffins are
elected in each district, all orders are
sent to one during the first six months
of the year, and to the other during the
remaining six months. The coffins arc
delivered gratuitously. Notwithstanding
the efforts of the Government to bo
fair, the greatest oomplaint and diuatis*
- faction have arisen. One coffin make!
bas twice as many orders as his col*
leagues, and private families are not satisfied.
Ofaiftf J uatioe Fuller, having gone to
his doctor's house ia Washington recently
in preference to sending tor the
physician, found that gentleman absent
and was invited into the library to await
his return. The attendant who ushered
the visitor in was ignorant of the letter's
station, but recognized him as a man of
culture and kind impulses. This was
evident from the surprising request that
the Ohief Justice should improve the
time by writing a love letter for the man
who let him in. Pens, ink, paper and
envelop were proffered, and without
besitatioa tho favor was granted, the
missive being completed before the physician's
return.
Renewed attention is called by tho
New York Independent to the brutality
ot the best military establishment in the
world. A non-commissioned officor had
been unusually brutal to a German
recruit-of good family, who eventually
was driven to suicide to escape the degradation
to which he was forced, but
not before no bad written a letter to hia
parenta giving a full account of what he
suffered. 1 his letter was sent bj them
to the Emperor who has caused the arrest
of the brute. A result has been the
disooverj of the fact that out of 127
deaths in the army during Deoember last,
twentj-four were suicides mostly caused
by desperation at the tyranny of noncommissioned
officers. But war Is
esseutially brutal.
It is said that w&en a native of Hawaii
wishes to give evidence of his sorrow
?t the loss of a kinsman he goes to some
secluded spot and endeavors to knock out
one of his front teeth. In case it Is his
maiden effort at mourning, relates the
gttb Atlanta Constitution, the bereaved not
^*^r^on?^t\y, bungles the job, and on
looking over the debris often finds that
he has knocked out a couple or more.
If the grief stricken party, however, lacks
the nerve or distrusts his prowois to
accomplish the tooth's displacement, a
dear and obliging friend is always at
band to offer his assistanoe. As a remit
of this custom a man of middle age is
often short so many teeth that gastronomers
are embarrassed in eatin? their
*?***. American dentists will do a land
efflce business in Hawaii if the United
States annexes the islands.

Florida's Exhibit for World's Fair.
The exhibit of Florida minerals now
In pnoaration for the World's Fair at
Chtcags promises to be one of a novel
and moth valuable character. Under the
ears of 2r>lon B. Turman, manager
of the exhibit; the arrangement will produce
a moat desirable effect. A case or
cabinet has been bu\ltJto receive the exhibit,
which stands upon a platform 16i
by 21i fret in size. It is fven feet in
height, and in its outlines "jllows the
here and boundary lines of th. State ol
Florida. At pointa relatively o?.. ^ied
by Pcnsacola bay and tho mouth of th(
St. John's river are doors allowing en
trance to and exit from the interior ol
the cabinet-,' where the manager of th<
exh'bit will have his office, and when
descriptive litem'ure and maps of th<
mineral districts will be placed. On th<
outer ?ide of the cabinet, about two feel
tmm form, is a broad ledge, on
which peoSlo phosphate and other minerals
will be placed. Under this ledge,
will riso a wall of rock phosphate collected
from different points of production.
Abovo the ledgo are three shelves
which w*ill hold several hundred glass
jars in which various minerals, in both a
crude and various minerals, in both a
crude and manufactured form, will be
exhibited. The exhibits will be arranged
by counties for competitive purposes,
the best exhibits securing awards. The

Iiosition to the opening of the World's

determined to test the legality of the ac- "
tion which the directory is reported to be
in favor of taking.
The sentiment of opposition, he says, J
is as strong now as ever it was. lie be
licvcs that from a tinauciul standpoint
the Fair management would bo unwise
in hnvinc nu opcu Fui-, even if they
could do so legally. He has been in cor
i rcspondencc with the editors of thirty
? religious newspapers, and without ex i
f ccption they are not only opposed to
1 open gates on Sunday, but believe Chris
t tiun people should refrain froiu visitiug

icriptioa of a boycot t, f twou'd b -no nior? '

He remark) d thnt the management n-*
longer discusses the Suncluy question
from the standpoint of its being an ae
commodation for wage earners, but that
it is t:catcd sole y with reference to the
t debit and cicdit side of the ledger. Hi-*
estimate is that not more than 100,00.)
persons will attend on each Sunday who
would not pay thesnmo admission money
^ on other days. This would net $1,250,000
for the tw nty-live Sundays, lie is
r coufiilcut that 1,50 ?,000 or 2,000 000
persons who would have visited the Fair
t not less than three days, will remain
, away The minimum loss of receipts
therefore, would be $'2.250.000.
