There is an g paragraph pointing out the need of a porce! post in the United States, and show ing the advantages that manufacturers in England and Germany enjoy through the existence ofa parcel post system between those countries and the States: so that "a German manufacturer can ship an eleven-pound package from Germany to any State in the Union cheaper than it can be shipped from New York city. We already have parcels-post treaties with Germany, Mexico, and several of the Republics of Central and South America, and the West Indias, with the curious result that we can send eleven-pound parcels by mail to those countries, and people there can send such parcels to us, but people in the United States cannot send parcels of more than four-pounds' weight by mail to one another." This is a blot on the reputation for go-xheadness of the States. Another paragraph points out what we alluded to the other day, that "the West is, to-day, the theatre of power in the business and the polities of the American people... But the people of the East have no reason tw be alarmed about that; for the West is made up so largely of their sons and daughters that it has in it no sentiment except of affection and goud will for the old homestead."

The Iw exeates policemen to artest him after ho is drunk, The law provides magistrates to send the offender to the workhouse.. The law authorises keepers in the workhouse to make the man work in the daytime and to lock him up at aight in a cell. But the law lets the innocent wife and childyven at home go it alone as best they can. Thousands of dollars spent, you sev, on the one who deserves nothing, and not a penny: on the deserving."
All this is too true, but the vexed question is, and always has been, how can you protect man from his own vicious. hibits, and who shall be held responsible la suit matters £5,000 Boxvs would not be thought too large an amount to pay for the blessing of health by many wretched sufferers who by day and night are tortured with the racking pains peculiar to gout and rheumatism, Relief, however, can be procured at a much less cost by the aid of Holloway's Pills and Ointment, The former are of sv purifying a nature, that a few doses takea in time are effectual preventive against an attack of either.
