Senator H a Mt.m, of Maine, ia gomg to do the best he can toward escaping from the odium he has suffered ever since that amendment of hie to the postal law was passed which doubles the rates of postage upon transient newspapers. It is already announced that he will take an early opportunity in the Senate to explain his connection with the matter, and will insist that he has been greatly misrepresented. The way of it was this : The express companies were lobbying to get the laws amended so that packages weighing as much as four pounds could not longer be carried in the mails, on the pleas that the mails were overbur­ dened with that class of matter, and that the government was carrying it at a loss. The department showed that the former claim was not true, but could not deny that the latter objection was well found­ ed, and so proposed to checkmate the express companies by not reducing the litttif Unf ^AttkTTvtrt tliA rvf postage on such packages, and "through an inadvertance," for which Mr. Hamlin claims that he was not responsible, the change was made to apply to newspapers as well. It is announced, by the'way, that the doubling of rates on packages has not decreased their number, while it has largely increased the revenue, and the postage on newspapers will probably be put back to the old figures by the next Congress. to the boys.

James Phillips, of Tobahanna Township, on Monday, went out on the Pocono Mountain hunting deer. TK* dogs started a buck, and drove it in the direc­ tion of the great swamp known as the Shades of Death. Phillips followed. After walking a mile or so he heard the hounds coming toward lum again, and soon afterward saw something disturbing a clump of bushes about fifty yards away. After watching the movement of the bushes for some time he fired into them. The movement of the bushes ceased. Before he could go to the spot the buck came bounding along to his left, and dis­ appeared in the swamp before h© could nre. He thai walked to the tmnhea. and was horrified to discover the body of a little boy about nine years old. The body was riddled with buckshot, and was lying in a pool of blood. A small basket, half filled with beech nuts, stood a short distance from where the child lay. The boy was an orphan, and lived With a German family named SheibeL Sure Care for Epilepsy.

One day the Captain "heard something drop," and to his horror found the youth had fallen from the masthead, whither, boy-like, he had ventured. On picking him up, they found he had sustained but slight injury, and the strange part of tho story is that he never had another attack of his disease. Meeting of th ̂Rational Grange.

Wednesday afternoon, as the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy train was aiont to pull out from the transfer for "the East, m Omaha gentlenum observed two men seated on, or rather clinging to, the trucks under the dining car. One of them, apprehensive of being in­ formed on, entreated him, "For God's oolfA r-ww-i-- -ftuiAii " - T!-.-. man questioned, them, wad learned that they had ridden in this manner all the way from San Francisco, over 2,000 miles. The train started up and stopped at the depot in Council Bluffs, when the two " beats/ supposing that the train had been halted in order to put them off, skipped out. The conductor, when told of the fact, remarked that " that was nothing. He had had six on the trucks and six on the roof at one time." It seems that the amount of stolen riding obtained at so perilous & risk is greater than any one has any ;ide* of, and the wonder is that so few lare killed. As a rule, they generally '-® ride on the trucks during the day time and at night crawl up on top of the car. If they are discovered and put ofl, they wait for the next train and resume their ride, many of them going from ocean to ocean in this manner. The Union and Central Pacific railroads have a monop­ oly on this sort of travel, as well as on every other kind, to and from the Pa­ cific coast. Many of the persons who thus steal a ride from the Pacific ooast went there "well-heeled," in search of a " Big Bonanza," traveling in first-class style in Pullman sleepers, and enjoying three square meals a day, and, becoming busted, they take their chanoes in get­ ting back home in this way. Such is life. Winter, however, generally puts an end to this, although onoe in a while -*-j, y^u oilt iruiu the toolbox, car, half frozen to deaths under a Omafia Bee. Fe?er Infection.

According to a report by Prof. Ginti, it appears that the public is exposed to a new source of poisoning from the use or arsenical glycerine and the arscniate of alumina as mordants. He states that these substances are now coming largely into use, especially among the English and Alsatian manufacturers oi cotton printed goods, as substitutes for albumen, which is more expensive, some substances be- ing required to fix especially the aniline colors, which are now so much in de­ mand. Such goods have recently been sold in Austria, and ̂ speciilly in Prague, containing, according to Prof. Ginti, as much as fifteen to twenty-five grains of aisenious acid, in the form of arseniate of alumina, to the yard ; and this is by no means an iuBoluble salt, 'out one more poisonous than the much abused green arsenic colors. The more suspicious fabrics are stated to be those cf a violet ground with white figures, and those printed in brownish yellow or reddish brown designs, and which are sold at low prices^ The Hog Cholera. The reports of the hog chofeti£,Vhich is taking off thousands of swine in In­ diana, MJaeauri, Illinois and other West­ ern State;, are a serious matter. Our Western farmers, most of whom have a large surplus of corn, were expecting to put much of it into pork this fall. Should this fatal hog disease extend and continue its ravages, their expectations in this re­ spect would be sadly (lisapointed, and they would be obliged to sell their com at the prevailing low prices. We trust, however, that the- fatal disease will not become either as general or as fatal as is apprehended.--Chicago Journal. • | ' •' " r, ' r- Winn Continue.--" Yea, purty tuff times," replied a Detroit boot-black the other-day, " and Bill says tbey is to be still tuffer afore spring, I'd go on the jstage this winter, but I hain't no good clothes.
