During the fiscal vear of 1889 90 the receipts of the dead letter office were some 6,500,000 pieces, being an increase ot 310,000 piec es, or 5 per cent , over the preced ing year. During 1890-1. while it appear ed from estimates of the quantity of matter dispatched through the mails that there was an in crease in letters alone of over 150,000,000, the increase to the dead letter office was but 311, 000 pieces, or 4?i per cent. During the year 1S91-2, al though the general volume of the business and operations of the service approached 8 per cent, in excess of the previous year, usual and even ordinarily expect ed increase had not only disap peared, but the gratifying fact appears that there was a decrease of over 48,000, or nearly 1 per cent., in the number ot pieces . r sent to the dead letter ofhee. That the mistakes of the pub lic, which in so many instance prevent mattercommitted to the S J mails from reacning its inienucu destination, and w!nch embar rass and thwnrt livery, coa tinue to confront the service, mav be attested bv the increase of over 17 per cent, in unaddress- ed letters alone. I'ostal Kecora JOURNALISM'S ON WARD MARCH Not until nearly 200 years af ter Columbus's discovery, and more than 250 years after Gut enberg's invt siiivja, writes John Swituon in the New York Press, was the lirst s:i tempt made to set up a newspajHrr in this coun try. At the opening of the last country there was not any pa per printed in those .British American colonies from which has grown the American Re public, in which there are now just about 19,000 periodicals. A single number of a little paper was Issued at Boston in 1690, but its contents were displeas ing to the authorities, and it was smothered on the day of its ! "rth. Not untd fourteen years later, or in the fourth year of last century, did the first of our permanent papers make it ap peatanee. a nd it also was printed in Boston, the News-Letter. It was issued weekly, sometimes the size o! a sinqle sheet of fools cap, but oltener the size of hah a sheet, and in its early history its printer complained that lie could not vend as many as 500 copies of it, though it contained Enj lish and colonial news about as much of both as would fill a column of the journal now in the reader's hands. Those who are interested in such things will be pleased to know that there is a completed file of this first of our country's papers in the archives of the New York Historical So ciety oa Second avenue, the only one in existence, so far as is known. The News-Letter . had no rival or contemporary tor over fifteen years, but at various periods during the half century after 1720, petty pipeis legan to make their appearar.ee in the chief cities of at least ten of the colonies, and when the Yr.r c-f Independence broke cut there were as manv as thirtv-seven r f teem, the weckiv .1.1 A1 k kllCil (llli 11 -'T-t- rri ti imti . V(l.Ul.ttiv;u v t i cx.xt.ti -iOOV" i copies. The ccsonrship that was exercised over them by tfe Colomal autliorilics v;is har i to abide, and they had to be on guard against printing anything not in consonance with royalty and humility. The great Ben Franklin was one of the larly writers ;or several Colonial pa pers, and he figured in the Mer eury and Gazette of Philadelphia, j write some linvs about such oc as wcli as in the Courant of Hoj- j currences a? cam? within hi.- ton. which sheet may be calic.I the forcruKiier of the Iree press of America. The first paper ever printed in New York Citv was the Gazelle, which appeared in the c!o-i ig year of the first quarter ot last centu. y under the direction of the septuagenarian Bradford, who was an upholder of the 'freedom of the press, and w ho, after a long life of activity, was buried in the graveyard of Trinity Curh. After him came the brave Zenger with his Journal, through which he get into a famous suit for libel. The story of New Y'ork newspaperelom dur ing the Colonial period is short and paltry, and we cannot give the. pioneer editors of our city credit lor patriotic service in the cause of American indepen dence. For years prior to the Revolution Sam Adams, of Mass achusetts, i.nd his compatriots had elone brave service in propa gating the principles of liberty through the Boston Adveitiser and the Boston Gazette; and it would be pleasant to put the name of some Nev Y'ork con temporary cf these papers along side of theirna.ues, but the search for such a paper here is vain. While the citv was occupied by the British troops four weekly papers were printed here, all of them under the sanction ot tae commander of the "roval"army, and the traitor Andre wrs a writer for that one of them, he Royal Gazette, which, when American independence had been won, made haste to drop the word roval and to turn its coat from royalty to republicanism. When the War of the Revolution was ended, there were just forty three papers in the young Re public, not one of them daily. The establishment of American independence gave an impulse to the newspaper business, sc that bv the time Washington left the orBce ol President there were n-arly 200 papers in the United States. The people had been set to thinking as their forefathers never thought ; they were lull of new ideas; they were debating great questions; they were exul tant in their independence; they enjoyed the liberty of printing; the press was free. The papers of that period, all of which were political organs, wielded much influence, being used as vehicles lor communication with the peo ple bv such mtn FjS Hamilton, Jay, Madison and many other public leadtis. The nineteenth century opened with over 200 papers in on; country, most of them puny. Be fore the close of the same eet-turv, or in this year (1892) there are 19,000 periodicals in the United States, nearly one-tenth of which are dailies. Oui population has increased t wcnty-iold ; our newspapers have increased a hun redfold. The circulation of the American papers of a century ago was counted by thousands in the week, while the papers of this tin e issue many millions of cop ies each day of every week in the year. It is hard to give the gross safes cf all the daily papers of our own city, but it is safe to say th t they run up well toward a million each day of the week. Gre.'it has been the growth of all our country's industries, but the growth iu newspaperdom has surpassed that in any other line of production.. Marvelous has been the development of the varied material resources of tlie United States; but the develop ment of the resources of the Amer ican mind, as indicated by the press, is yet more marvelous. After the first cf daily American papers, the Pennsylvania Packet, had been started, im 17S4-, other dailies followed rapidly in its wake, so that by ih. begining of this century thetrc existed in several of our cities and we have five or six of them Eicre in New York, including the Minerva, which was under the editorship of Noah Ycbstcr. afterward the lexicographer. 'fne number ot 'K--t r contin ued to multiply tdl over theeoun trv with each decade of the cen tury, and new plants were set i. p every year, especially in the West, as population increased in that direction. None of the papers that were printed in colonial times had any editor. i:i the modern sense of that word. The printer would knowledge ; he wou!d at times get a Jew bits of news bv pocket or mail coach; he would once in a while net a paper by ship from England, from wkk'h lie might eopv some items ol loreign intel ligence, and he wo.iiil occasional ly he favored with m edhcial doc ument issued by authority. He was not likelv to express any opinion, or to entertain any Unit could safely be printed There was hardly anv ccdnmal paper in existence nt any time during the first half of last century that had any mind or thought be yond that needed to- put its items in type. The spirit of the New World had not then come into being. Daring the second half of the same century the printers of papers were usually the only edi tors thereof: and even in the de cade which preceded, as well .as in that which followed our inde- peaelence, when patriotic men spoke bolrdy through some ol the papers of the linne, the edito rial luction bore ha rdly any re semblance to that f unction as it exists to-day. One of the first of American papers with an editor distinct from its publisher was the first daily paper founded here (1794), of which Noah Web sier was the editor. Soon after that time the printers of papers began to employ regular editors, while many writers started pa pers that were edited by them selves. I do not propose to give an ac count here of the marvelous devel opment of American journalism during the nineteenth century. A volume would be needed for that purpose. We find 200 papers in our" countrv at the dawn of the century ; we find over 4000 at the middle of the cenlurv; we find nearly five times that num ber before the century's close (the word "papers" here includ ing periodicals of all kinds.) The newspaper making industry has become one of the Heading indus tries of the United States, giving employment to over a milllion people in its intellectual and me chanical departments. N. Y. Monthly Union. Banana Paper. The possible scarcity of jute this year through the diurt crop in the Bast Indies the report is that it will be 40,000,000 to60, 000,000 pounds under the aver age wiii direct attention to the matter of substitutes. One of these maybe found iu the banana stalks, millions of which are throw away every year. Already in Nicaragua, it is said, they have been considering the com mercial possibilities of a new in dustry to consist of the collection and the preparation of the fibre in banana stalks for 'he market. The quantity available in that country is suggested by these facts and figures, which wc find in the Gleaner, of Kingston, Ja maica. In April, 1892, according to consular id voice 150,000 bunches of bananas were shipped to the Ui.itcd States. The quantity for local consumption and surplus fruit make an aggregate of 100, 000 each month. Each bunch rep resents a stalk. Add twice that amount for stalks which "the pi inters cut down to prevent them from choaking the others, and the total is 440,000 stalks monthly or 5.400,000 annualhy. These stalks should each yield five po'unds of fibre or 27,000, 000 pounds. The supply can be doubled without affecting the fruit tra e, for the banana grows in clusters of from eighteen to twenty stalks or trees, and ripens fcr fibre iu about six or eight months and bears fruit in from ten to twelve. The number of plants under cultivation is esti mated in round numbers at 1, 500,000, averaging fourteen stalks on each, a total of 21, 009,- 000, and the industry is rapidly increasing. The likelihood that here is a fibre specially suitable for the manufacture of wrapping paper, i' iot ol (mer crad ou"ht to stir the paper makers to instant action. They cannot be too quick about it, as the fruitgrows in Florida. Boston Transcript. The Giant's Causeway. The Giant's Causeway is situa ted at the northen extremity of County Antrim, a short distance from Post Rush, Ireland. It con sists of wountless hosts of bd- s.i'.tic pillars, varying i : shape from a pentagon to an octagon, the average length of each column or pillar being about eighty feet, the whoL stacked so chisel v to getherjthata knife blade c u!d hardly b inserted between them. But the formation of these pillars is not thj least wonderful part about them, for. although they mav be counted by thousands and tens ol thousands, each col umn is fashioned with a sym metry that suggests a mason's handiwork. Their composition is a peifect fusion of one-hah flinty earth, one quarter lime and clay and one ejuarter almost pure iron, each pillar being divided in to regular lengths at joints which come together a a perfect, nat ural ball-and socket union. Al though to be found in small de tachments (embedded in the cliffs, sands, etc.) for some distance along the shore, the principal aggregations lorming the curse wavs proper consists of three projections or tongues known as Little, Middle and Grandcausc wavs. These singular colums are of different lengths, as has al ready been hinted, and present an astonishing appearance as they stand, an army of at least 40,000 strong marshalled on the shores of Erin as if ever ready to battle with the rising tide. One portion of this marvelous natu ral freak is known as "Lord An trim's Parlor;" othercctious by such namesas "The Giant s Chim nev, ineuianis neau, me Nursing Child," "Hen and Chick ens," "The Priest and His Flock." ljcsides many other mysterious combinations which are at once . "W t t TT 1I.TM fantastic, weird and descriptive. One of the most interesting features of the causeway is "1 he Giant's Organ." This huge "in strument" consists of a group of pillars of various length- set apnrt on the side of the main cliff. The lurge columns being in the center and the smaller ones tapering off on either ride, after the fashion of organ pijes, admirably sustain the idea which the name "Giant's Organ" conveys. St. Louis Republic. WHEN CLEVELAND WAS A BOY. Chicago, Nov. 11. No man in Chicago is more pleased over the result of the election than II. J. Edwards, of the carriage man ufacturing firm of II. J. Edwards & Son. Forty years ngc Mr. Edwards and Grover Cleveland worked together and shared the same bed in the general store of McVica & Co., Fayetteville, N. Y. "This was otie of the biggest stores in town," said Mr. Ed wards. "On one side was qgood stock of dry goods, on the other was a rather primitive drug store and in the rear was a grocery. Cleveland or 'Grover' as wc called him roomed with me directly over the store. One of our great treats was for the clerks from all the stores in the town to get together . me'nii'ht in the week to tell stories and talk over plans. "Jn this connection th-re is an incident that v 11 illustrates Cleveland's sterling honesty. It had been the custom for us to help ourselves to the eggs with out thinking of paying for them. Whentheclerkscameto our store Cleveland said the eggs must be piid for. ! Ie wu. willing to have a good lime with the bos, but he didn't want the 'Boss' to lose it. Some of the boys protested, but Cleveland was firm and said if they would not pay for the eggs he would. As a consequence a reform was instituted, and af ter that the eggs were always paid for. ' After we left the store we at tended school together at Fay etteville Academj. Cleveland's eldest brother, Rev. William Cleveland was our tutor. Grover was a splendid scholar. While we were in school one of the standing jokes of the boys was to get up in the night and ring the bell. The bell was used for almost every purpose, including iiiCii luC ocii i'aiijj all the men m town would get up and hurry to the school house. As the lire-alarms were quite numerous the people would try to find who caused them. Of course they knew in a general way the boys did it, but they could not find out just which one it was. Not long ago, when I was talking over the old days with Cleveland he told me of a number ol times lie assisted in giving these alarms. "I have always b.-en n Re- publican." Mr. Edwards con- cludtd, "but I voted tor Cleve land each time he was nominat- . liX. Apples as Medicine. Chemically, the npp'e is coin posed of vegetable liber, albu- iiien, sugar, gum, cnlorophyl, malic acid, gallic acid, lime and much water. Furthermore, the German audyists sav that the apple contains a larger pci ccnt age ol phosphorous than any other truit or vegetable. 1 hephos phorous is admirably adapted tor renewtug the essential ner vous matter. lecithin, of the brain and spinal cord. It is, perhaps, for the same reason rudelv understood that old Scan dmavian tradition represent the apple the food of the godf, who, when thev felt themselves to be growing feeble and infirm, re sorted to this fruit for renewing their powers of mind and bod v. Also, the acids of the apple are of singual use for men of sedentary habits, whose livers re sluggish in ttction, those acids serving to eliminate from the body noxou3 matters. which, if retained, wouid make the brain heavy and dull, or bring about jaundice or skin eruptions and other allied troubles. Some such an experience must have led to our custom of taking apple sauce with roast pork rich gross, and like dishes. The malic acid of ripe apples, either raw or cooked, will neutralize anv excess of chalky matters engendered by eating too much meat. It is also the fact that such fresh fruits as the apple, the pear, the plurnb, when taken ripe and without sugar, diminish acidity in the stomach, rtitner than provoke it. Their vegetable sauces and juices are conyeited into alkaline carbonates which tend to counteract acidity. Southern Clinic.
