The eastern papers for yo.ira pas

Once in n whiln such occasion is pre

nnd noble efforts , the doinuro maiden
pursuing her unnoted way in the

or the pursuits of n modest nnd cir

Suddenly , as it passed upon n well
known trestle , she anw it drop find its
lights disappear , nnd know there were
human lives in danger. Bushing out
into tlio a orni nnd to the brink of the
chasm , Kittio Shelly called nt the top
of her voice , with the hope that HO'no
poor struggler in the turbid wntors
might hoar nor voice nnd bo encourag
ed by her cry. She was heard , nnd
back from the ownying tree top , in
which precarious porch the engineer
had found another lease of life , came
nn answer to her cheer , many times
repented. But the swollen streams
forbade hearing the directions which
wcro shouted to the young girl , nnd
aho was loft to her own resources to
effect n rescue , which fortunately were
not wanting. Alone nnd guided by
the flickering light of n dim lantern ,
aho commenced her journey through
the tnll wood to Moingonn.
A MILE AWAY ,

ed by the switching undergrowth , wet
to the wniat by wading through the
little hollows , of the hillside , each

at times , though every foot of the

Six foot had they risen in nn hour ;
one false atop nnd they

They dashed nnd howled against the

trembling timbers with their froth.

who never shall return ; but two
other men and two other families ,

THE STAR ROPTE.
Revolutionizing the Postal System

Postmaster General James , in his
determined efforts to reform abuses ii
I'
' the postal aorvico , 1ms not conduce
his attention to the vigorous aupprcs
h ! ! aion of extravagances in the notorious
star route. That has boon the mail
objective ppiilt for the time , bccausi
a reform in that direction was tlio
jnost crying necessity when ho com
into oflico. A great ring had fostcnoc
iteolf and was fattening upon the
postal department of the govern
merit. Ita ramifications were coextensive
tensive with the country , and
its _ head center waa located in th
chair of the second assistant postmna
tor. Several millions of dollars were
being alvallowed up , nnd the whoh
system of postal contract * was threatened
enod with tl0 | rottenness which came
of the contact with unbridled corrup
tion. ' The first duty of Mr. James
was to grapple with the great evil
and thia ho did at once and fearlessly
but bo evidently docs not propose t
stop there. The whole poatoflico ays
tern , in hia opinion , requires over
hauling , and this ia the great work
which ho has taken in hand , Pcrhap
Mr. James" reform ideas may bo better
understood by the two words "business
principles" than by nnything else
ilia success with the Now York offic <
lion emboldened him to undertake the
enforcement of n similar process ii
the entire department _ Ono of his
plans involves a competitive cxnminn
tion , the other that which has bcoi
sovornl times suggested to congress
the adoption of a system similar to
that which prevails regulating ndmis
sion to the naval ncndomy mm nt West
Point. As the latter would preserve
the importance of the member of Con
gress ns nn appointing power , it is
probable it would bo moro apt to ro
ccivo the approval of congress. In
anticipation of n revision nnd
reconstruction of the present
postal system of appointments
and securing uniformity , n general
inquiry will bo instituted ns to the
present management of the most im
portant oflico in the country. No two
of thcso ofliccs nro now managed alike.
The Washington oflico has been put
under investigation and n personal in
spection of the Baltimore oflico. The
main puqioou of the department is to
remove the Post Ollico from the pale
of local politics. According to Post-
matter General James , n government
lost oflico should bo something moro
Imn n more local political machine
run at general expense , If ho suc
ceeds in carrying out his ideas of ro-
'onn Mr. James will have revolution
ized the postal.service before his term
expires. ' '
ALBION NOTES ,
The Crops Reported Booming
and Everything Lively.
ALDION , Boone Co. , July 20.
To the Editor ot Tim Cn :
The crops nnd weeds together arc
ust booming in Boone county , and it
s hard to toll , in ninny cases , which
\illbo the biggest crop , as this has
icon the greatest growing Reason wo
lave over had in this county. The
armors in this county will have to
omnicnco farming less ncrcs per man
nd team , nnd farm thorn bolter than
hey had to when the land wns now.
There nro great numbers in this
ounty who believe , with the editor
f Tin : BEE , that the dastardly at-
empt to assassinate President Gar-
old , was just as much the result of
/inkling's war on the president as
was the killing of President Lincoln
lie result of the war of the rebellion.
Vhilo Conkling's resignation is looked
pen as something like the boy taking
p his marbles and going homo when
hings did not go to suit him ,
ind by so doing trying to break up
lie game. Conkling may bo a friend
f the people , andiono who is opposed
o the great moneyed , power of the
ountry , novortholeaa , almost without
single exception , every Grant man ,
very U , P. man , every dead head who
ravels on a pass , is a Conkling man in
Ins county. An eminent writer has
aid that to the civil nnd political hia-
orian the past alone has an existence ;
liat the present ho rarely apprehends ,
ind the future never , but by the
n'atorinn of science tilings which are to
oino to pass during the lifetime of
enorations of men yet unborn can bo
scortaincd with as much ccitainty as
lings which have passed and gone. I
on't believe any such thiiip. 1 believe
itint juat so euro as the historian of
icionco can , nftor watching the glitter-
ng courao of the oratio comet in the
onvona , follow it into the infinite
opths of space far beyond the limits
f our system , until the eternal law of
; rnvitation commends it to re-
urn , predict the return of
lie glittering object to
ho place where it last wna soon
hough ages may pasa before that
vent takes place ; juat BO euro can the
lolitical historian after reading by the
ifljht of past events the causes which
> rought about the fate of other ropub-
ics , predict . .that the days of thereat
; roat American , are numbered , and
hat in the near future , it will only
> o a phanton shadow of what it once
vas.
Gray Will says it is absurd to talk
about there be any danger of the
oundation of the government being
mdorminod , that it was built uppn
ho adamantine rock of justice and
equality to nil. The same was said
during the ngitntion about slavery ,
ind that there would bo no war , but
here wns n right smart war after all
vhich shook the mighty fabric which
ind boon built at so much cost of
> lood nnd treasure until it almost fell.
A BOONE COUNTY FAIIMEH.
OLD JIM IS DEAD.
rho Fanioui Old Hunt or and Qtiido
on tlio Western Plain *
Fasios Away <
Jim Bridgor is a name familiar to
old western settlers , and the an
louncomont of his death will bo ro
cuived with feelings of sadness by all
who know him. In early daya ho
waa a noted scout , hunter and guide
on these western prairies , nnu his
: amo figured in moro than ono ven
turesome and daring deed so common
to the plainsman in those days. Of
his death the Kansas City Mail has
the folio wing ;
James Bridgor , ono of the last sur
vivors of the early mountaineers
whose headquarters vvoro in thia part
'
of the country , died nt hia residence
near Now Bantu Fo in thia county at
C o'clock yesterday afternoon. Mr ,
Bridgcr had passed his sovonty-aixtl
birthday anniversary , that event tak <
ing place in last March. His funeral
took place to-day. The romaina were
interred in a little county cemetery
not far from the place iu which ho
died. Mr. Biidgor wa a A'irginian
by birth. Ho hau been a scout , guide
and plainsman for about thirty
years. About sixteen yeara ago
while ridini' a "bucking" mule ho ro.
coived injuries that permanently
disabled him. Since that time ho has
retired from active life and haa booi
living on his , or rather children's
farm near Santa Fo. For throe yean
or more ho has boon in his dotage ,
He once got lost within one-halt nnh
of his ou n house. Old ago and con
finement to ono place caused the vet
eran plainsman'a vital forces to give
way with sure and rapid decline. To
use a common expression ho died o ,
old ago , His death was painless ,
the flame of life burned down to the
socket and noiselessly expired ,
Uo loaves a family of three chiN
dron. all grown. Ono of the daugh
ters is the wife of Mr. A. Wachsman ,
of Wcstport. Mr. Mridger had , nt
the time of his death , a claim before
congress for money duo him on ac
count of the occupation of his fort by
United States soldiers. Uridger sold
his fort and grounds in good faith.
For this ho received no "cash down.
The war came on , attention was ab
sorbed by it , nnd congress did not
give a thought to making provision
for the payment of the poorold guides
claim. The Bridgcr family will throw
off all interest if an appropriation of
$10,000 for tlio payment of the prin
cipal is mado. If it had not been for
"Old Jim , " as ho was called , General
Fromont'B threat western exploring ex
pedition would not have beim a suc
cess. For a ijreat portion of the way
Uridger acted ai a guide.
