Postage was always a sore point in
the old days. It might be either pre
paid or collected on delivery, and un
lucky recipients of long-winded epis
tles or other useless matter often had
a substantial grievance. The author
of "The Old Farmer and his Almanac,"
gives a few of Mr. Thomas' frequent
hints to his contributors to pay the
postage on what they sent to him.
His first allusion to the matter was
In the Almanack for 1806, and is ap
pended to a compliment which he pays
to a highly respected Quaker corre
spondent: "Friend K. D. Is tendered the edl
' tor's best thanks, for his several valu
able communications, at the same time
solicits a continuance of his corre
spondence. The postage the editor
will ever be happy in paying, though
in some is a great looser."
One of the "loosing" cases appears
In 1809: -
"A. R. Q. is thanked for his season
able information. Though we would
remind him that his communications
come so coated up that we are obliged
to pay double postage on them, we
would advise him in future to leave oft
the wrapper or pay the postage."
Again in 1810: "E. W. and others
will tee kind enough to pay postage on
answers to Riddles in future, or they
will not be noticed."
A little later: "G. S. our Boston
querest, have no objection to his ask
ing questions every day in the year,
provided he pays the postage."
E. F. In 1812 appears as a sinner
against several principles: his "anec
dote is of the coarser kind, and not
capable of being polished without in
juring the pith. His Meteorological
. observations, If correctly taken, would
be useful. He will do well to remem
ber the postage in future."
By 1814 the postage nuisance seems
to have become Intolerable. "J. H.
Jr." is informed that "we conceive
his Questions to be unimportant, and
not worth the money we paid for
them," and finally there Is an emphatic
pronunciamento to the world at large:
"No notice will in future be taken of
any answers to queries unless post
paid."

FAMOUS FRIGATE FOUND,,
Philadelphia, Destroyed la Tripoli
Harbor,.! Located. .:
Charles Wellington Furlong made a-!
lystematic search at Tripoli of Bar
bary for the lost remains of the fa
mous American frigate Philadelphia,
aestroyea in the harbor of Tripoli 100
rears ago. He tells In Harper's Maga-
lne tne romantic story of how he
found the vessel at last;
"In less than an hour my search
was rewarded by seeing the broken
ends of the great rib of a vessel pro
trading, through dull-colored eel-grass.
I noticed that this grass seemed to
follow the line of the ribs, and care
fully noted Its character, further to
aid '. me In my search. Examining
these closely, no doubt was felt In
my mind bat that they belonged to a
large vessel, and ordered the boat
man to let fall the anchor.
"The lead gave us two and a half
and three fathoms. Hastily undress
ing, we dived several times. Mr. Ri
ley first succeeded in buoying the spot
by going down with the line and slip
ping It dver one of the ribs. While
on -the bottom I carefully examined
the timbers. These were honey-comb
ed in certain' parts in a peculiar way.
The. continual sea-wash of a century
seemed to have made Its inroads at
the softest places, and they gave every
appearance in form of partially burn
ed stumps. The wood seemed almost
as hard as Iron.. Much of it was in
closed In a fossil crust and only by
repeated efforts I succeeded in break
ing off a small-piece. The many winds
from the desert and the shifting shoals
of sand had filled in and around the
frigate and her keel must have lain
burled nearly two fathoms deeper than
the present sea-bottom. The freshen
ing breeze made further investigation
Impossible; so, after taking bearings
and leaving the spot buoyed, we re
turned to the shore, landing amid an
awaiting, curious crowd of Turks,
Arabs and blacks.
"Six days later, through the cour
tesy and interest of the officers of the
Greek warships Crete and Paralos, a
ship's cutter and machine-boat with
divers were placed at my disposal.

About fifty years ago Justice Wil
liam T. Spear was a well-known law
yer in Plymouth, Mass. He took
deep Interest in the affairs . of the
community, and his acquaintance with
parliamentary usage lifted him above
those who simply vote others into of
fice. As nearly as might be, he was
the "Town's Mind," to use the large
phrase invented by the forefathers.
In this character Judge Spear never
failed to attend town meeting and
rarely failed' to speak with force and
clear intention, but on one occasion he
faltered unexpectedly in setting the
little state in motion. He rose In the
house' of freedom with all his accus
tomed dignity, and began with au
thorlty:
"I am not here, Mr. Moderator 1
He hesitated a moment, then began
again: 7
- "I am not here, sir "
Again he paused, and in the silence
a young man in the assembly cried
out: " '
"Tell us where you are, then!"
Fifty years ago It was considered
indecorous for a young man to take
an active part In the proceedings of
the town meeting. He was there to
vote silently and was expected to
restrain the speech of his deep, atten
tive mind. No wonder, then, that
Judge Spear turned upon the auda
cious speaker with a mighty frown.
' "I am not here, sir," he thundered,
"to be barked at by every puppy that
crawls into the town house!" .
Then, turning to the moderator,
Judge Spear proceeded as usual to
regulate the calendar of the town

THE MOTOR OMNIBUS.
Comparison of Merits of Electric Car
and Self-Driven Carriage.
In England, where the use of elec
tricity for the operation of street rail
ways is more of a novelty than in the
United States, the wisdom of the prac
tice is occasionally challenged. For
instance, an engineering expert, writ- j
ing to the London Times a few days '
ago, expressed the opinion that some!
of the smaller English cities which had '
authorized the construction of trolley;
lines might in time regret their "pre-:
clpitation." He then proceeded to
point out the merits of the self-pro-
pelled- omnibus, which is probably j
more common in the streets of London '
than in New York or other American
cities, although still too new to admit
of a thoroughly satisfactory compari
son with the electric car. .
In at least one respect the omnibus
is distinctly superior to its rival. In
extremely narrow streets it is less of
an obstruction to drays, cabs and pri
vate carriages and is less liable to be
delayed by- a blockade than a vehicle
which must follow a line of rails. The
first cost of a motor omnibus is esti-H
mated by the correspondent of the
Times as about the same as that of the
trolley car, but the latter requires an
additional investment of capital i for
track, overhead wire or conduit and
power house. An omnibus line, then,
calls for a smaller outlay to begin with.
On the. other hand, leas power Is need
ed to move a car than a carriage which
runs on the ordinary pavement of a
street Rails facilitate movement by
reducing friction. Again, a vehicle
which generates its own power experi
ences greater difficulty in climbing
steep grades than one which derives
power from a central station. Finally,
the trolley car has from two to three
times the capacity of the omnibus.
Theoretically, if not practically, there
fore, its earnings should be larger.
The contributor to our London con
temporary has undertaken to get a lit
tle light on this last point but confess-
that he has not been able to obtain
as much as he could wish. Here, how
ever, is the result in a nutshell: For
the omnibus the cost of operation is 9
or 10 pence per car mile and Its re
ceipts 13 or 14, an excess ranging from
one-third to one-half. For the trolley
car the cost of operation averages 6
pence and the receipts 10 pence, the
margin being two-thirds of the oper
ating charges. New York Tribune.
Just Discrimination in Railway Rates.
All railroad men qualified to speak
on the subject in a responsible 'way are
likely to agree with President Samuel
Spencer of the Southern railway when
he says: "There is no division of
opinion as to -the desirability of stop
ping all secret or' unjustly discrimina
tory devices and practices of whatso
ever character." ,
Mr. Spencer, in speaking of "unjust
ly discriminatory" rates and devices,
makes a distinction which is at once
apparent to common sense. There may
be discrimination in freight rates which
is just, reasonable and imperatively re
quired by the complex commercial and
geographical conditions with which ex
pert rate makers have to deal. To abol
ish such open and honest discrimina
tion might paralyze the industries of
cities, states and whole sections of our
national territory

unjust discrimination is clearly recog
