The postmaster general replied tbat it was the first Intimation given to him that tue civil bervlco commission or any other had control of departments indopjndont ot its head , und could step in and order dismissals of its own sweet will. Mr. Andrew aikod the postmaster general If an employe who made ono statement in April and another at a subsequent time , con * tradlcting absolutely his former statements ought to bo retained in ofllco.

Lots have boon drawn by tlio persons summoned to act as jurors at the trial of Havachol. Ono of the juiors has written to the Figaro complaining that the political im portance which has boon given to the trial by charging the prisoner with being guilty of an explosion instead of n murder has en daugcred tha lives of all persons concerned in iho caso.

The concluding day's session of the annual convention of American thoosopulsts , in this city , was ono of interest not only to these votaries of the occult philosophy in attendance , but to the many skeptics who listened to the papers read and addresses aclivoiod by members of the cult.

At tin ) afternoon session there was another discussion on "Is it Hoasonnble to Bcliovo in Mahatmasi'1 Dr. Archibald Keightiy said : "Tho oxislenco of ihe Mahntmus is the ogical conclusion of the law of evolution. Wo who are inborinir for the advancement of iho race need Iho higher thinkers. Thus wo , who wilfully look downward instead of aspiring upward , are compelled lo rely upon these scholars of a divine gift. " A lady delegate asked why the Mabatnm sages ara always located beyond the Hima layas. Mr. Judge responded tbat wo could not have them in America because every news paper mm in the country would scout them out and oholto out of them the secrets they possess. Furthermore tbo Mahntmas' bodies are not like ours : they ara stained to a de gree by tbo carnation and incarnation. Should"euo of these adepts visit this sphere , our bodies in tbo presence of Ihelr superior powers would laku lire aud become iuciuer- ated.
