Here is an idea which in our opinion is
worth u .t6ituac to the ontcrprising; read
it carefully and you will be Of the same
opinion. The Scientific Amerioan speaking
OF photography says:
'Iherc is one branch of photography
to which We woull wish TO direct the
attention OF our artists, viz: landscape sun
painting. The French Photographic artists
have become cmincnty distinguished for
their landscape photographs; these loriaed
the chief and browning glories Of the art in
( the Palace Of Industry; some of them, in
deed, riy,llcd fine oil paintings. The French
artists arc nov busted taking pictures in
every corner of France, architectural, mon.
umcntal, archaeological and picturesque
spreading themselves, too, all over Europe,
aud bringing back with them the snowy
mountains, the lakes and valleys Of Switzcr-
land, and the monumental riches Of the
Italian cities. Every science is largely pro.
fitting by the ever cnarging field Of this won
derlul process. Geology anatomy, botany,
are supplied with copies such as no human
hand can draw; and it can catch the sun
beam on the mountain and the waters OF
river and stream. We have noble scenery
in this our great American land; wheat fields
for our photographists, to show their skill
and daring. Hitherto, however, they have
shown themselves to be but carpet knights.
Doesn't this open up rich field for some
one? And not one only but hundreds Of
men, aye, and women too for that matter
may "rcalzc something handsome" in thi;
manner if they have a particle Of energy
and science about them.

PREPAYMENT ny STAMPS. The Washington
Union calls attention to the fact that by the
law of March Sd, 1870, requiring the post.
age on all letters not free sent by mail with
in the United States, and not from or to u
foreign country, to be prepaid, it was also
enacted that from and after January !, 1856,
"thc Postmaster General may require post.
masters to place postage stamps upon all
lrtPrH letters upon which such stamps may
not have been placed by the writer's"
The Union also learns that tie Postmaster
Gcncroi has dc,il@ To re2uiye postmasters to

10 supply themselves with postage stamps
accordingly by sending their order for them
to the Third Assistant Postmaster General.
Of course it is not intended nor expected
that this regulation shall throw upon post
masters the labor of alliXing postage stamps
to letters where the writer's might, without
Inconvenience, have done it for themselves
The main thing is for postmastcrs to keep
themselves supplied with stamps, that all
persons having occasion to use may readily
obtain them.

The committee appointed to investigate

opinion the immediate cause Of the disaster
was the high rate Of speed at which the

"And further: The attempt of running n
locomotive and cars carrying human life
over a river like the Gasconadc, upwards of

lrail structures, can only be ascribed to iu-
competency, reckleSsncss or inatuation.
"And lastly: The fact of the said attompt

only be ascrbcd to u management of the
