A l«U«r from Washington •ajs; Pe
titlons are being oonstantljr received here
from different points of the Stnte poking
for the establishment of new pootal routes*
Some of these petitions have yards of sig
natures attached, obtained doubtless with
great labor and trouble, sttd yet they are
altogether unnecessary. It is a very easy
matter to have a new ronte established
between any two pw.U whenever ^pp^gluo be the “red

Also, how many post-offices are needed or

A (Vniart JTudffe.
A tough-looking citizen walked into
one of the Justices’ Courts yesterday
forenoon, very much intoxicated, and re-
qnired that he be allowed to swear off
drinking for a year. His Honor obli-
pingly put him through the solemn mo
tions, and tho convert, with a confused
ramble of well-meant bat profanely ex
pressed resolutions, stumbled out of the
courtroom.
‘‘Bet he don’t keep it an hour,” said
one of the grinning lawyers.
“Bet he sticks to it for a week, any
how,’* observed the Court, with confi
dence. . >-
‘Nonsence 1” cried everybody.
“What’ll you bet?” asked the Judge,
“Twenty to ten,’’ exclaimed an eager
attorney, producing tbemona/.
“Done !*’ cried his Honor, and the
♦takes were turned ovor to a Chronicle
reporter. ,
• “Constable,” raid the Court quietly,
“go out and fetch that roan back.”
In a few minutes the reformed one
was drugged in, and the Judge ascended
the dais, rapped for order and looked se
vere: ,
“Charged with being drunk,” said the
Court. “What’s your plea?”
“Guess I’m full,” admitted the pris
oner, with an idiotic smile.
‘•Ten days in the country jail. Con-
ataWe, lock up your prisoner. Mr Be-
porter, hand this Court that wealth.
CoiArt’s adjourned. Boys, let’s go and
flood our lower levels.”

A Rhode Island woman went to the
cemetery to weep over the grave of her
fourth husband. She found a strange
woman doing the weeping for her, and
there was a fight, a hair-pull, a howl,
and all further tears were declared “off.’’

The glittering cold steel of these facts
should puncture the third term movement
effectually, for it demonstrates that Gen
eral Grant, if ho should be nominated
next year, would fall as a candidate by
the weight of his own record. It would
be enough against the expediency of his
candidacy to mention the factions thst
would savagely oppose him, and those
that would give him a lukewarm support;
and, yet, they would not be half so
dangerous enemies as the great army of
thoughtful, conservative Republicans,
who would either vote against him or not
vote at all in case of his nomination, be
cause of the fact that he would be a
third term candidate, and because of tho
character of his administration. Even
the press of the Republican party would
not be vnited upon him; indeed, life
strongest and most powerful moulders of
public opinion in the country and party
would fight him to the lust hour that the
polls ore open.
