COXXUS1CJLTIOX.
Washisgtox, D. C. July ?5, 1887.
President and Mrs. Cleveland have
returned from their pleasant tour o:
northern JNew York, looking auu
feelinic all the bettr for the
delightful outing and cordial reception
tin ough out tho trip, , but more espec
ially, at theboyhood home of the Pres
ident, whtr3 his old fi lends an I neigh
Lore eagerly thronged about him, glad
to honor the man who had risen, like a
meteor, fromtho humblest to the
proudest position on earth, and who
greeted each end all with a good word
and a kindly smile of recognition.
, At the White House, it is not yet
known what other summer "plans Ihe
President has arranged only the At
lanta visit in October having been pos
ltively decided upon but I do not
think ho can refuse assent to the im
portunities of St. Louis, Louisville,
and other western cities.
Some alarm was felt at the White
House the other day at the discovery
that the lathes and rafters, in the
southern portico were decayed, and it
was thought that the mansion was in
danger of a collapse, but an examina
tion lias dispelled all fear, as only
slight repairs will be necessary to stay
the defacing hand of 'time.
I learn that the Administration
regards with the liveliest satisfaction
the deliberations and nominations of
the Ohio Democrats, and, that the
President feels that his course has
been substantially endorsed.
, The receipts of the Post Office
Department for the third quarter of
the last fiscal year was 813,012,497;
expenditures, $13,272,508; deficiency,
$260,021; but the latter will perhaps
be reduced to about $100,000, by the
receipt from international money
order. A comparative statement of
the business of this Department for
the first three quarters of the years
1885-86-87, ' show that the receipts
have constantly and largely increased
and that there has been a correspond
ing decrease in tho deficiency so that
it is very probable, the Post Office
Department will be on the self sus
taining bas:e in a year or two.
The count of the cash and securities
in the Treasury which began two
months ago incidental to a change of
Treasurers has been completed and
found correct to a cent, with the ex
ception of the deficiency of $2.40,
though a formal report will not be
made till next week:
Iu reply to a great many inquiries,
tho coinuiisbioner of pensions replies,
that, under the Mexican Pension Act,
pensions can be paid from the date of
the passage of the Act, Jan. 29tb, 1887,
only Alien pensioners were sixty-two
years old previous to that date; in the
exceptions to this rule, the payment
will begin on tho day when the pen
sioner is 02 years of age, unless in
cases of dependence and disability.
Tho Secretary of the Intt rior has
won additional claim to the admira
tion of the fair sex by the important
ruling that married women have the
right to enter and buy timber and
stone lands under the laws zoverninz
the sale of such lands in several of the
States and Tei ritories.
There was no surprise in the In
terior Department when the resigna
tion of the chief clerk of the Patent
Office who is one f those so-called
"indispensable" Republicans, holding
office under a Democratic Administra
tion, was announced, though the
Washington newspapers either sup
pressed or were profoundly ignorant
of the real reason, which was the
Chief Clerk's relation to the Bacon
defalcation it being the former's duty,
nnder the law of the United States, to
examine the accounts of th financial
clerk every month, and certify whether
or not they are correct And the
Chief Clerk regularly certified to the
correctness of the financial clerk's ac
counts, for four years the latter be
ing a defaulter all of that time, " And
no sooner is thj chief clerk shown the
door than he epsars the difficult task
of "whitewashing" his corrupt associate
in office if in nothing mora
There is no doubt but what the
various Departments arc literally hon
eycombed with Republican rascals
and thieves who should be sent on
with Forger Harvey, who will serve
his country twelve years in an humble
capacity at Albany. In one of the
Departments, a certain prominent
hold over Republican, has been so
urgent in insisting on the destruction
of some official papeis that lie Las been
piaceu uiuier surveillance as a suspect
because such great solicitude must be
of much significance either to this in.
dividual or to his associates.
Most men are content with holding
one office, but I know cf several,
whose ambition caunot be bound in
such narrow limits, and as my intelli-
genl friend,-the reader Us divined,

In many of the towns on the Mexi
can side of the Rio Grande del Norte
("the Grand River of , the North"),
which separates Texas from Mexico,
water is scarce, although a river flows
besidethej2Tli9y Jiaro few cisterns
for "rainwater, find , no epHnrja,
hydrants, or pumps. ' Quite a number
of men make their livinjr by seHiiis
WW w
water. The city of Matamoras refused
to allow a company -to erect watei-
works to supply the- city because it
would deprive the water peddlers of
their business.
Every peddler has a barrel with a
piece of plank or scantling nailed
across each end. In the middle of tho
plank is a stont spike or iron pin, to
which is attached a piece : of chain
reaching beyond the edge of the barrel,
and to the ends of : the chains are
attached rawhide or other kinds of
rope. Ine barrel has at one end two
arge wooden plugs.' To fill it the
Mexican goes up to his knees, . or
deeper, in the water, pulls out both
plugs and the water rushes in at one
hole, while the air in the barrel goes
out at the other. When the barrel is
filled, the peddler turns it over on its
side, steps inside the: rope, and walks
through the town j seeking a cus
tomer. The peddlers are queer-looking men '
with dark complection and long,
straight black huir, like Indians,
They wear wide-brimmed, low-crowned
"sombreros" (hats), trousers rolled up
to the knees, or higher, and are almost
always smoking a cigarette. Some
times a peddler saves his money and
buys a "buro" a donkey not much
higher than a table and, either tying
the rope of his barrel to the saddle or
putting the rope around the buro's
neck, gets astride the little animal, and
enjoys a ride while Sfoing around with
his barrel of water.
Just imagine a man wearing a hat
with a brim as wide as a small parlor
center-table, with no shoes, with
trousers rolled above his knees, riding
a donkey so small that he has to hold
his knees up to keep his feet from
dragging on the ground., and with a
barrel of water rolling over the ground
after htm! r
A little more enterprise and intelli
gence would soon give them water for
household purposes in a decidedly bet
ter way than this. Bat the peopo are
ignorant, for tho most part, with little
taste for improvement This will not
last for ever. Our missionaries are giv
ing tho gospel to the people of Mexico,
and the result will be forward steps in
economy as well as in spiritual life.
The Xayflower.
The Congregational Sunday School
fc Publishing Society began with this
year the publication j of a four-page
weekly for youngest readers in the
primary department j of our Sunday
schools, the name of "The Mayflower'',
being given it a3 appropriate to the
"Pilgrim" Series of j publications for
Suuday schools, of which it was to
form a part. The Society has recently
learned that a newspaper bearing the
same name had for some years been
published at Yarmouthport, Mass., by
Mr. George Otis. This has led to a
friendly correspondence, and Mr. Otis,
with evident sympathy in the woik of
tho Society, cordially acquiesces in the
use w h?cb is made of the title, "The .
Mayflower," in connection wit.h the .
juvenile publication above referred to.
Acknowledgements are due to Mr. Otis
for his great courtesy in this matter.
and it should be clearlv under-slnnd
that his right to the title, "The May
flower," as applied to a newspaper, is
in no way affected by thi3 use which
is made of it, with his knowledge and
consent, by the Congregational & S. fc
Pub. Society. Mr, Otis's "ilayflower"
is an attractive -weekly paper (secular)
of eight pages, and is intended for the
family. It has a large variety of read
ing matter adapted to old and young, is
carefully edited, and its price, $1 per
year, places it within the reach of
many readers who cannot afford the
higher-priced papers. Congregation
alist, May 26th, 18S7.
We understand correspondence, is
being had with Oliyer Opiic, Jarces
Otis, Horatio Alger, Jr., aud other
eminent writers for the young, in
order to eecuve their interesting con-,
tributions for the Mayflower. The
Mayflower will tc sent on trial for two -monthj
for only ten cents. Try it.
