Paul roai still has two turvey Losdos, Dec 19. A crisis in the cabi net ia ported aa impending. Tbe landed aad democrat ic-conervtive e.canents are odds in their views, and negotiations between extreme lories and the wniar wing of the liberals have been renewed.

Both aides are reported jubilant over a prospect of defeating the radicals. Lobdox, Dec 19. Though Mr. Glsd- stoue provokiagly keeps quiet aa to the real Urma of the alliance he is making with Parnell, It seems to be very general ly accepted that he haa gone nearly the whole home-rule Deure, and bas agreed not only to give the Irish a local parlia ment, but complete control over local affairs in the island, including the police, the judiciary, land regulations and taxation, tariff, and protection for tbe Protestant minority. If the concessions are as sweeping aa tbe newspaper claim, it will make tne union between1 Ire aad and England as shadowy aa that which extats between Canada or Australia and Great Britain, and virtually pave the way for complete separation.

But can Mr. Glad ttone carry out hia part of the contract Can he lake sufficient of the liberals with him to overcome the combination cf whiga and lories that will inevitably be made against lit If as many aa eighty-five whigs bolt he is beaten. It will also be remembered that Lord Salisbury can dissolve parliament If so disposed and go before the country on a straight anti-Irtah issue, which would bring on the wildest election ever known in that country. Tj ndoubtediy the people of Eng land are tired out with the uIilsh and would like to have it settled permanently in tome form so that pari i a ment could tranaact lis legislation free from the obstruction which the Irish can always place in its way, and Mr. Glad-alone himself Is particularly anxloua to have the question thus settled during his lifetime.

It only remains to be seen tber he hss net gone so far in making cocceeaioat that the Britons will refuse to ratify them. There is another side to this view, however. Suppose they do. Tbe Irish phalanx will ttill be on hand ith their obstructions, making govern- ernment as lmpoetible as they can. And what then? Apparently the only way to untie the knot is to cut it, at Mr.

Glad stone Is reported to have done. Bat wnat will become or the cutter? 1 Mexico. Cttt of Mixtco, Dec 19. Ex-Gov. Snpeiveda, of Nuevo Leon, ia reported confined in tbe military guard house at Monterey.

SOMX CUBIOCS POSTAL STATISTICS The aneut report cf the postmaster general, a stout volume of ever 1,000 pages, contains some curious facts which impress one with the magnitude of the postal system cf the country itself. It is quite astonishing, for instance, to learn trom the report that the number cf miles traveled by the railway mail clerks dur ing the year was over ninety-six millions. equivalent to four thousand times around the worla, or a dtatance greater than that from the earth to the sun. The number of letters and pieces cf ordinary mail mat ter handled by these cltrks in that time was, in round numbers, The cumber of registered letters paBJing ihtoueh the mails in tha year was over llOUOOOO, and the amount of money transferred through tb malls ia pcstofBce orders about $125,000,000. A sale of ariicit wnich accumulated in the DtaJ-letttr othce, which is coin on this week, suggests some examination upon thia subject, which shows that the amount of dead mail matter treated in the div sion during the year wss nearly 5.000,.

000 pieces. One would naturally suppose bat persons sending money by mail would be very caretul in the audres of their letters, that they should reach the parties tor whom they are intendeJ. Ytt the cumber cf letters containing money and drafts which were aent to the Dosd-leUer otlico waa nearly 40,000, while the numoer containing other articles of value wss nearly a qurrter cf a million. A iabl showing tho eipsnditures of the postnffice department during the year inoicates that the compensation paid to postmasters at the rate of $1,000,010 a month, or a day. The ot of twice used tor wrapping bundles of let ters and other purposes of this character was (30,000, and for paving letter-carriers fs.ww.tuo.

The number of 3-cent atanipa issued in the year wss It it not generally known that tne posiofflce depart ment issopt stamps running so high in lue as $60 apirce, yet there are of those $GJ sTamps nearly 12.000 issued during the year, sttampt of large value are icaii- ed in the denominations of $12, $24. $13 and 60 each. These stamps are sold to publishers of newspapers and periodicals, who use tbem in mailing very large quan- itlea of matter. In this connection it is interesting to note that while postsge- stamps have only been in usa in the tcn-omy of civilized cslions less thsn half a cinmry, they are cow used by more than 200 countries and governments. Judging fiem the number of aiamps issued by our poetofiice deputment the number of letters and postal cards mailed in a yer mut run about 2,000.000,000, (KjO.OOO in England and lOO.COO.OOO in Japan.
