THE POSTAL NOTES.

What Provision Has Been Made for Sending Small Sums of Money Through the Mail. * [Washington Special.] The law authorizing the 8-cent “postal note” directs that its provisions shall be put into operation by the Postmaster Genera) within six months after the date of its approval by the President The act was signed on March 3, and the postal notes must, therefore, be ready for the public by Sept 3, 1883, at the latest The department officials are not ready to state precisely the time at which they can be issued, but there seems to be do good reason why they should not be available at the opening of the new fiscal year, July L as the new law requires little additional machinery, home time will be consumed in advertising for proposals for the new blanks, etc., that are necessary, which, however, are to be furnished by the Public Printer and t'.e Bureau of Engraving and Printing, if their estimates are below those received from private persons. A model of the proposed postal note is printed on the back of the reports of the committees of both houses. It is about as long as a greenback. At the right hand are two columns giving the months of the year, and the dates of twelve years beginning with the present,At the left hand are three columns of figures. One, representing dollars, is numbered up to 4; the second, representing dimes, is numbered up to 9; the third, representing cents, is also numbered up to 9, and each series ends with a cipher. The note is for sums less than $5. The Postmaster at the office issuing the note will punch the month and the year, the number of dollars, number of dimes and number of cents. in their respective columns, thus preventing any alteration of the amount or date. By this system the postal notes can be issued for any sum from 1 cent up to $4.99. No written application will be necessary. The note will be bought like a postage stamp and will be payable to the bearer at any time within three months from the last day of the month of issue. The body of the note IS a form stating the office at which it is issued a-..d the office to which it is sent When paid the person obtaining payment puts his signature upon the note. It is not claimed that the" postal note furnishes the same elements of security as the postal order now in use, where the sender’s name is privately forwarded to the office where the order is to be paid; but it is believed that its convenience to all classes of people will be so great as to render the decrease in security of trifling importance. It is expected that it will take the place for transmission of money through the mails of the old fractional currency. Since that was withdrawn there has been no safe and agreeable way of transmitting small sums except by postage stamps, which are not regarded with favor as currency, or by the cumbersome process of the postal order. The postal note system has been in use in Great Britain just two years with great popular acceptance. The last annual report of the British Postmaster General shows that 4,462,9*A) of these postal orders, amounting to £2,000,917, hadi been issued in one year. The average time they were in circulation was six days, ehow-i ing that there was no foundation for the idea that they would be devoted to permanent use as currency. The United States, postal note is, however, better adapted to' public use ia several respects than the) British postal note. The note, costing three ; cents, can be issued, as already stated, sor 1 any sum from 1 cent up to $4.99, while the British notes can be issued only for ten fixed amounts from 1 shilling to 20 shillings, no provisions being made for intermediate sums. Our postal note will require only a single blank form, while the British system calls for ten different blanks for the ten grades of orders The fee for the lowest British postal note is a halfpenny; for the highest, 2 pence. The fee for United States postal note will be the same in all cases up to $5 —3 cents. The new rates for postal orders, which are to some extent reductions on existing rates, are as follows: For orders not exceeding $lO, 8 cents; between $lO and $15,10 cente; between sls and $30,15 cents; between S3O and S4O, 20 cents; between S4O and SSO, 25 cents; between SSO and s6o,3ocents; between S6O and S7O, 35 cents; between S7O and SBO. 40cents; between SBO and SIOO, 45 cents No money order is to be issued for a greater sum than sllO.

The Third Tariff Reduction.

If we start with the manufactures created by the war of 1812, and the consequent exclusion of imports, and count the tariff of 1816 as the beginning, we can easily grasp the ups and downs of our policy by the aid of the following table: Tariff of 1816, four years, 21 per cent Tariff of 1820, four years, 86 per cent Tariff of 1824, four years, 38 per cent Tariff of 1828, four years, 42 per cent Compromise tariff, 1832, with sliding scale for ten years, reducing 2 per cent a year, 42 to 20 per cent Tariff of 1842, for four years, 33 per cent Tariff of 1846, for eleven years, 24 per cent Tariff of 1857, for four years, 19 per cent Morrill tariff of 1861, decreasedin 1872, increased in 1875, amounting upon the dutiable imports from 48 (1867) to 43 (1882) per cent Commission tariff of 1883, probable rate, 33 per cent It should be added that, whereas the value of articles imported upon the freelist fifteen years ago was less than 5 per cent of the whole, it was 30 per cent, of the whole in 1882, and will probably be fully one-third under the new tariff —Springfield Repub lican.

This is in direct violation of Sec. 8,708 of the Revised Statutes, and the treasury officials are determined to hunt down the guilty parties. The latest complaints come from Cairo, HL, and Goldsboro, N. C. The penalty is SIOO for each note distributed. telegram.

A REMINISCENCE OF 1876.

What Senator Beck T nought of John MorI'iSSCy AS A I CAH<li<iAt43« Senator Beck, of Kentucky, furnishes innumerable newspaper stories. He is a clever, whole-souled and brightminded man, and can tell s' story himself about as well as anybody in the country. JThe following, in relation to the Kentucky Senator and his visit to St. Louis during the convention of 1876, comes from one who heard and saw all that is related: Mr. Beck was in St. Louis, but whether as delegate or speculator is immaterial. He stopped at the Southern Hotel. It will be remembered that anguest of the Southern on that occasion was the Hon. John Morrissey, ex-prize-fighter and ex-Cbn-gressman of New York, who was here as the friend of Mr. Tilden, and the opponent of Tammany. Probably no man in the great crowd of visitors who filled the city then attracted as much attention on the streets as Mr. Morrissey. On one occasion during his stay, Mr. Beck, having kept very late hours, rose late in the morning and found himself quite unfitted for the day’s routine. So he went into a room in the rear of a saloon on the southeast . corner of Fourth and Walnut, and, finding a comfortable-looking sofa, stretched himself out for a rest, which afterward became a sound sleep. It must have been about 2 o’clock in the afternoon when he was suddenly awakened by loud shouting on the street. It was in behalf of Mr. Morrissey, and was done by a crowd of men and boys who had followed that gentleman into or out of Gregory’s “Winter Garden” near by. Everybody on the street seemed to join in the chorus, “Hurrah for Morrissey!” Mr. Beck, about half asleep and half awake, rushed to the street, and the first person he chanced to meet was Col. Tom Nelson, of Terre Haute, Ind., a Republican in politics and a wag in practice. "Tom,” said Mr. Beck, rubbing his eyes, “what do these fellows mean by hurrahing for Morrissey?** Just then there was another shout for the big New Yorker from a crowd surging toward the Southern Hotel. Nelson looked at Beck for a moment, and took in the situation, as manifested in his drowsy eyes. “Haven’t you heard the news ? Why, Morrissey has been nominated,” said he to the Kentuckian. “Nominated for what?” eagerly inquired Mr. Beck. “For President of the United States, by the national Democracy in convention assembled,” said Mr. Nelson, in a tone of voice and with a manner of which he alone is the master. “Great God!” said Mr. Beck. “You don’t mean to say that they have nominated John Morrissey for President?” “I do say it; and that’s what all thia kurrahing means,” replied the gentleman from Indiana. “The masses of your party are for Morrissey, Mr. Beck.” Mr. Beck had by this time opened his eyes a little wider. As another "Hurrah for Morrissey” greeted his ears, he said to Mr. Nelson: “Well, the masses may be for Morrissey, but his nomination will play with the doubtful States.” —ot. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

Visiting the President.

Those who are merely visitors and sight-seers are first shown through those rooms of the White House which are open to public inspection. They are then requested to collect in one room, at a stated moment stream upstairs, and, passing through the library, shake hands with the President. He thus extends a courtesy in a few minutes, which, under every other arrangement, would keep his morning business hour constantly interrupted. This formality gone through with, he turns to those whose calls have a purpose. It is the etiquette for gentlemen to remain standing. A purely-personal introduction is followed by an invitation to sit and wait an opportunity which seldom comes, and one after another those in waiting are greeted with a cordial shake of the hand, and their mission met with “no” or “yes,” or a definite engagement for another hour or day. “No” is said firmly, but quietly almost to gentleness and respect. “Yes,” which can but seldom be said, admits of a briefer putting. A card is brought in and the President says, loud enough for all to hear, “No; I have an important appointment at 1 o’clock, and those present will take up every minute left. ” The Secretary of State enters. “Goodmorning, Mr. Secretary.” “Goodmorning, Mr. President.” A lady—one or two have been sitting awaiting their turn—detains the President, as a woman does a doctor, longer than would three men, for it is harder for the President to say “No;” harder for her to realize that his polite words mean “No.” Then the Secretary of State, the object of whose visit, it now appears, ia to aid the President’s superb tact, approaches and says: “Those gentlemen are waiting below. Will you go now?” “I have three minutes yet,” replies Mr. Arthur, glancing at the clock, and those who remain take the hint and are as brief as possible, as he turns to them. Such is a daily scene.— Washington Letter. •

A Picture-Factory.

There is a place down near Chatham Square where oil paintings are turned out pretty rapidly. And the oddest thing about it is that the proprietor is not at all embarrassed when a visitor drops in, but effusively welcomes him and shows, up the lightning process. A large loft is devoted to it, only diminished by two little rooms cut off the front for offices. Along each side of a large room runs a continuous easel, forty feet long, I should say, and on this is stretched cheap white cetton, half-width. Along the middle of the room, running the whole length between the easels, paints of all sorts are arranged on a convenient bench. There are six or eight “artists” usually engaged at once on this canvas. One does the ground-work with a brush somewhat like a whitewash-brush, which he plies with both hands. With one splash in the brown he walks quickly along and lays on five or six yards of the foreground and middledistance; with a splash of blue and yellow he sets five or six yards of vague sky above it, and makes a sweep with another brush along the horizon the blue and brown are required to blend. Then he marks the long canvas off into suitable lengths for pictures; and retires to another stretch of virgin white awaiting him across the room. Then the rest of the painters nifili upon him, flourish their brushes and fall to filling in the beauties of landscape. A blotch of red for a cloud, a blotch of dead brown for a tree, and a smaller blotch of the same kind for a man, dots of white for sheep, and there you have it I There are no patterns and it is to be said for those works of art that no two are alike. About twenty an hour are turned out. Then they are cut up, framed and put on the market in the hands of itinerant dealers. If they can’t get $5 for one they will take 50 cents. The manufacture of them is a curious sight.— New York Letter.

Deaths in the United States.

According to the last census, 756,893 persons died in the United States dui> ing 1880. The death rate for the whole Union was, therefore, 15.1 to the thousand. That is a low rate, and yet it was much higher than that given in--1870, which was only 12.8 per thousand, while the death rate according to the census of 1860 was 12.5. But the apparent increase in 1880 was due entirely to more complete returns of deaths, and even the figures for that year cannot be regarded as accurate. Except in a comparatively small number of communities, vital statistics are not gathered in the United Slates after a scientific system. The actual mortality of the Union is probably somewhere between 18 and 19 per thousand, instead of a little over 15. But that is a low rate as compared with European countries, the death rate for the whole of England having been 20.5 per thousand in 1880, and for Scotland 21.3 in 1878. Of the 756,893 deaths recorded in the census returns 640,191 were of whites, out of a total white population of 43,402,970, and l 16,702 of negroes, out of a total colored population of 6,752,813. The apparent death rate, therefore, was 14.74 among the whites and 17.28 among the negroes. A greater relative mortality among colored infants in the Southern States largely explains the higher negro death rate, which must be accepted as proved, we suppose, since, deficient as the mortality statistics among the whites may be, there is good reason for regarding the returns of negro mortality as still more incomplete. Of the deaths reported 391,960 were of males and 364,933 of females, the total living population having been 25,518,820 males and 24,636,963 females. For every 1,000 deaths of females there were 1,074 of males. The proportion of males dying in infancy was also greater than that of females. Of the 390,644 males who died, 163,880 were under five years of age, while of 363,874 females, 138,926 were under five years; that is, the proportion of deaths under five years of age to all deaths recorded was 419.51 per 1,000 among males, while among females it was only 381.85. Nearly half the male mortality was among very young children. The causes of death were reported in only 733,840 cases, and the following table gives the number of deaths from each of the ten principal causes. Consumption 91,551 Diphtheria; 38,398 Diarrhoeal diseases 65,565 Diseases of nervous system 83,670 Diseases of respiratory systemlo7,9o4 Diseases of digestive system 34,094 Enteric (typhoid) fever 22,905 Measles 8,772 Scarlet fever 16,416 Whooping cough.’..... 11,202 Consumption was, as always, the great scourge, and it earned off a considerably larger proportion of fem lies than of males, the deaths from that cause being 40,619 males to 50,932 females.

Pneumonia.

The prevalence of pneumonia in many parts of the country hag led to the interviewing of a number of prominent physicians in New York as to the cause and prevention of the disease. Dr. William A. Hammond mentions as a contributing cause the well-nigh uni? versal habit of living in over-heated rooms in the winter. When it is neces • sary for persons living in such an atmosphere to go out “the great difference in the exterior temperature strikes upon their organization, the cold penetrates them and pneumonia kills them. ” Dr. Hammond keeps his office and re-ception-room at a temperature of 64 degrees, and thinks it greatly lessens the danger of taking cold upon going out. He likewise mentioned the excessive use of alcoholic drinks as the door for the disease.” Another physician classified pneumonia as “not contagious, but a traveler,” and has found in his practice that persons taken with it “are generally in a low or weakened condition, either from mental anxiety or from overwork, or from the state of the weather. ” Winter dampness, he said, predisposes people to the disease, though a cold seldom does more than develop it from conditions already existing in the system. The preventive measures suggested can be summed up in the always applicable advice: Keep yourself in good condition; do not habitually overwork or underexercise; avoid sudden chills, or take prompt measures io restore the circulation; drink and eat temperately; breathe pure air, and don’t rob nature of sleep. So may you “defy the foul fiend."

We like St. Jacobs Oil, and observe, too, that the Ri. Rev. Bishop Gilmour indorses the remedy. Baltimore, Md., Catholic Mirror.

The New Member.

The new member remained in town. “I tell you what,” he says, “the President is a trump. I went up to the White House the other day to see about making Mariar Price’s daughter Postmaster at North Fork; and the President, he was takin’ a lot of other fellers in to lunch with him. So h’e says, kinder friendly-like, ‘Come, won’t you jine us and take some lunch and a glass of wine?’ So I bowed and I said, Tm your man, Mr. President.* So we went m and sat down, and they had some of them pesky finger-bowls with lemon in the bottom of them. When the raw oysters came on they seemed mighty stingy with their lemon, so I took a nutcracker and I picked the lemon up and put it on my oysters. They had been tellin’ about the way the President used to whoop up the boys in New York, ana, when they see me goin’ for the lemon, some of them fellers stopped and began snickerin’ and laffin’; but next thing the President he fetched up his lemon with a fork and put it on his oysters, and them chaps stopped laffin’, and looked as solemn as a funeral after that.”— Washington letter.

Our Young Men.

Many of our young men are suffering from a state of mental exhaustion, which renders them unfit for business or study. Injurious habits that weaken their constitutions are clung to with a pertinacity that is appalling. Young man, stop! let health ana perfect manhood be at least one of your chief aims in life, if you already begin to suffer from disturbing dreams, etc.,' make haste to strengthea-tiie weak portions of your body by using that friend of temperance and long life, the strengthener of every part of the body.

A WOMAN’S EXPERIENCE.

What a Lady of Great Prominence Has to Say About Her Sex* * [Boston Globe.] On a recent trip by a representative of this paper to the city of Haverhill, Mass., a most important incident occurred, which cannot fail to be of the greatest Interest to a'L, and especially to our lady readers. The newspaper man met a lady, a trifle past middle age, with luxurious white hair that contrasted strikingly with piercing black eyes She possessed a straight, full habit, womanly, but commanding, combined with manners wholly lady-like and yet pronounced. Any acute judge of human nature oould see at once that he was in the presence of an unusual personage—one destined to accomplish more than most of her sex and to exert an influence far-reaching in its power. This lady was Mm M. W. Wingate. Almost from childhood she has taken a special interest in the bodily troubles of her sex and has probably been more successful n relieving suffering and saving lives than any other woman in America. Indeed, she seems to women what Florence Nightengale and Dorothy Dlx were to the suffering soldiem The instances of women, who were in tiie greatest agony and apparently beyond the reach of human aid, that she has restored ito health and happiness are almost innumerable, and it was only natural that the scribe should become specially interested and wish to converse with her more in detail “How long have you been engaged in the practice of medicine, Mm Wingate." “For more than twenty-five yearn" “A long time, certainly. How did yon happen to enter the field’ at that early day when women in the professions were specially frowned down upon?” “I think I must have inherited a taste from my father. Prof. J. C. Wood, of Harvard College. He was eminent in the profession, a hard worker and equally earnest in his recreations. He hunted considerably, and, I remember, when only 9 years old, I used to dissect the birds and animals he had killed. I felt infatuated with medical science, even then, and the infatuation has continued up to the present tima" “Ana did you begin your studies so early in life?”

“I can hardly say when I began, for I cannot remember when I had not read medical literature You would, scarcely believe it, but I was a slender girl and did not weigh over 120 pounds, but! used to sit up night after night until 2 o'clock in the morning poring over my studies and never dreaming of the flight of time. It seemed as though calls for my attendance on the sick always came unsolicited I certainly cannot fix the <Jate when I first began practicing. Of course, most of my patients were women, and the natural sympathy I felt for my sex has increased during all these years where I have been brought so closely in contact with them and have learned to anticipate their needs and sympathize with their sufferinga After the opening of the Boston Medical College, I appeared before .fffihe faculty, passed examination and received a diploma I had practiced for years previous to that time, but thought it desirable to receive another diploma, which I did without any effort ”

“Your experience with the many and serious diseases of women having been so extensive must also be valuable? Can you give me some facts regarding them?” “I find that woman teems born to suffering, and, where she avoids it, it is by reason of some care on her part or owing to some special renewing power. It is true some women go through life without unusual suffering, but they are none 1 he less in danger, for there are cri leal periods all along their pathway when the utmost precaution is required The innumerable complaints called female weaknesses; the irregularities of life and changes of the system all indicate the perils which hang 'over every woman’s career, anfl which, unless attended to, may result disastrously. ” “But is there no way by which these terrible troubles can be avoided?” “That has been the proMem for years. The habits of life and the demands of fashion are clearly at war with the health of women. I have been, perhaps, unusually successful in my treatment of their troubles, but there have been many cases that seemed tpecially stubborn. I recall one in particular. I had exhausted all the usual expedients and the results were not satisfactory. I became worried over the case and really did not know what to do, but finally thought I would try something out of the usual line. I had heard a,certain remedy recommended very highly, and so I procured some and made a chemical analysis of it I found it was perfectly pure, and that the ingredients were unusually valuable. So I began giving it to my patient changing it, however, into a bottle of my own. To my great joy it seemed to have an almost immediate effect and a complete cure was the result Since then I. have used it constantly in my practice, and have cured every form of female- weakness, as well as .displacements, dropsical tumors, cellu dropsy and all such troubles I have also used it with the best of results iu cates of pregnancy and gestation. Indeed I have found it of untold value and benefit”

“Have you any objection to giving me the name of this remedy of which you speak?" “None whatever. 'lt is Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cura" “Why, that is a proprietary medicine!” “Certainly but what of that? I have but one end in view in the treatment of my patients, namely—their restoration to health. In the accomplishment of this end I prescribe what I believe to be beneficial, no matter what the professional consequences may me.” “I notice in the New York papers that Doctors Hammond, Agnew and other prominent physicians are taking a similar stand, Mrs. Wingate.” “Yes, and all independent thinkers in the profession are bound to do so. I am, however, on the best of terms with my professional brethren as you can see,” and the lady S reduced a beautiful gold medal mounted i the form of a badge which had been presented her by the medical society known as the Ensign of the Humble Family, of which she is a prominent member. After examining it closely, the reporter remarked that the medical profession evidently were proud of what she rad done, as she might well be in the possession of such a medal “I am proud of that.” she replied, “and I was also pleased a short time since to receive an oner at a large salary to take the Professor ship in the new medical college at Walla Walla, on the Pacific coast Ido not know how they heard of me out there, but I was obliged to decline their offer. ” “And so, in your experience with the diseases of women, you have found success, and that Warner’s Safe Cure has been a most efficient remedy.” “Yes, I have had unusual success and the remedy of which you speak has been proven of great benefit There are, however, some base imitations of it to be found in the market; these are bad and should be avoided, but the genuine remedy is one of the very best”

“And has not the practice of your profession injured your health?” “No, I am better now than ever before in my life. I froze my limbs last winter, while riding one cold night to see a patient, and was obliged to remain indoors for over two months. Otherwise lam healthy, as you can see by looking at me.” “And may I publish this interview, Mra Wingate?” “Yea If what I have told you should be the means of assisting any woman who may be suffering, I shall be perfectly willing to have it published.”

Mb. Talmage alleges that silence is only music asleep. Just so. And the snoring during a sermon is only the congregation asleep.

A New Principle.

The principle upon which Putnam’s Painless Cobn Extbactob acts is entirely new. It does not sink deep into the flesh, thereby producing soreness, but acts directly upon the external covering of the corn, separates it from the under layer, removes the direct pressure from the part, and at once effects a radical cure, without any pain or discomfort Let those who are suffering from corns, yet skeptical of treatment, try it, and by the completeness of the cure they will be ready to recommend Putnam’s Painless Corn Extractor to others.
