TIE New FASHIONED LITTER PApER.-Our
readers have already been informed that the
Postmaster General has issued orders for a
supply Of letter-paper to be cut, gummed, and
embossed, with three cent postage stamp,
combining in one both letter-sheet and en-
veiopc. According to the Washington cor
respondent Of the New York World, sheet
ofthis new style Of letter paper will he about
half the size Of the old fashioned letter. paper,
SO folded and cut as to furnish neat and
convenient paid letter Of only about halt
the weight of those now in use with an en-.
velopc. Orders have also been sent for sim.
liar sheets, letter size.
The use Of envelopes has often been object
cd to by legal gentlemen, as the post Office
stamp is often the only conclusive evidence
of the time when letter may have been
mailed. There can be little doubt that the
new system will almost entirely supercede
the old, so far as business letters are con.
ccrned.

TuE CURRENCY QUESTION. hardly
know what to say to our readers in regard to
currency. In Chicago all Wisconsin money
is repudiated, while in Dubuque the bills Of
twenty -four banks are taken. Money that
is good to-day is worthless tomorrow. We
must have sounder currency, and we have
the products to secure it, if our people will
only make an effort for it. Iffarmers would
refuse to take in exchange for their produce
all currency from these States where the
banking law is not such as to guard against
any loss to bill holders, in any contingency,
good sound currency would soon be forth
coming, for we have what other sections
of the country must and will have, and ifone
kind Of money will not be taken for it, an
other, and better kind will be offered.

PRoGREss.-For the first time in the histo-
~ of daily papers in America, the ". Y
Tribune is now printed upon stereotype
plates. The process is altogether different
from ordinary stereotyping-a new invention
by CHARLES CLARKE, of New York. The
molds, from which the plates are cast, in
stead of being made ofplaster as is usual, arc
made Of paper-mache. An entire page is
east in one plate, and in cylindrical form,
adapted to work on Hoes Lighting Presses.
The introduction Of this invention into the
Tribune office will be great saving Of time
and money to the publishers, and duplicating
the plates will enable them to print the same
matter on two presses at the same time, be-
sides being great saving Of type. as font
which would be worn out in very short
time in printing the immense editions of the
Tribune will last for years when merely used
to stereotype from. But one Of the chief
advantages is that the paper will always look
as if printed from new type.
