All nations have danced. The ancients thought that Castor and Pollux taught tho art to tho Laoedeemo- nlaus. But whoever started It all climes have adopted it.

Passing down tho street wo with his foot beats time whilo his soul rises have their sealp dances, their green oorn dances, their war dances. In ancient times The o ld Christian fathers expressed them selves most vehemently against it. St. Chrj’sostnm s a y s : “The feet were n ot given for dancing, but to walk m odestly; not to leap Impudently, like camels.” One ottho dogma’s of tho ancient ehuroh reads: “A dance is the devil’s possession, and he that entereth Into a danoo entereth into his possession. As many p.aces ns a man makes m dancing, so many pases does he make to hell. Elsewhere tho old dogmas declare i this: “The woman that singoth in the dance is the princess of the devil, and those that answer are her clerks, an.i thi' beholders are his friends, and the music is his tiellows, and tho fiddlers are the inmisters of the devil. For. a.s wheu hogs are str.ayed.

THE POSTAL CONGRESS. ■What 'WBililiigton 'Will Entertain in Three Tho next Congress will be asked by Post m a ster General Blssell to appropriate nearly- half a million dollars to defray tho expenses of the m eeting In W ashington in 1897 of tho Onlversal Postal Congress. Tho convention, w in be tho greatest g a thering of p o stal offlo- lals over assembled iu this country, and will consist of delegates from every civilized na tion of tho globe, with tho possible exception of Capo Colony, South Africa, which did not have a roprosontativo In tho Congress at Vienna, Austria, in 1891. There will be about If aud tho majority of them court uniforms during the sessions. Tho con gress will last seven or eight weeks, and will bo under the nuspicea of tho Best OQloo De partment. The deliberations ot the body will bo in tho French lauguago. Captain N. I'L Brooks, .superiutenneut of tho foreign ni.'iil sorvico of the Boat Ofllco Department, who was tho delegate of this Government nt tho Vienna Congress, in speaking of tho eoming oouventiou, said: “YYo shall meet ior tho agreed upon, to govern tho exchange of mails between all tho countries of tho world. Tho treaty will not intorfero with tho domestio postal regulations of any country, but regu lates all mail matter passing Irom ono coun try to another. Of course, ono country cun make arrangements with another ior a more liberal postal treaty between themselves, but a Government cannot change its postal regu lations regarding all tho countries without violating the treaty. It may, however, agree on matters that are not provided for in tho existing treaty, wbieh remains in force until '•The most important proposition to come up during the convention, which has twice failed of agreement, is to arrange so that there may bo a universal postage stamp which could bo used in any country. Under tho present system, if a person is in somo country like Canada, and writes to somo ono in another country, ho cannot buy stamps in his own c ountry to send to that person to prepay postage on the nns’iyer to his letter, beeause the country ivhcre h^sends tho let ter would not transmit to him a letter bear ing any other than its own stamp. This nt times is a great drawback. Travelers who oltea pns.s Irom one country to another at short intervals, suller groat ineonvenieneo on that account. They cannot hey stamps to t!iko along with them for ii.se, but have to go to the post ofllees in the places whoro they stop and purchase stamps there iu order lo have that Government transmit their mail. We would he satisfied ii we could get a stamp that would ho good iu any country to prepay postage to another country. “Besides this question, there will be many moro of general interest, but it is not prob able that the congress will take anyaollon as lo lowering foreign postage rates, us they aro now nt a very low figure.” LIL WANTS DAMAGES.

A salt water geyser in Blcasant county, VV. Ya., Is doing great damago. Somotimo ago the Archer Fork Oil Company began to drill an oil well on tho stream of that name, and a few days ago ;they struck a great vein ol salt water, which gushed up in a tali column .over the top of the deriicks. Tho flow Is immense, and continuous, with tho exception oi brief lapses in the height of the column. The water is strongly impregnated with salt, and Archer’s Ford and French Creek heretofore noted for tho great number ol game fish found in their waters, aro now so thoroughly impregnated that tho fish have all been killed or driven olh Tho water is so salty that neither man or oattlo can drink i t Tho salty stream has spread over a great amount of cultivated territory, rendering il utterly useless. Springs, wells and streams aro tendered unfit for use, and tho farmers believe that the geyser will cause much damage. They threatened to bring suits for damages against tho oil company for not plugging the well and shutting the streams off. DEATH ON THE RAIL.
