The Money order System.

The postal money order system has
been in operation at this place and other
designated points throughout the couu-
try since the first of the present month.
While the post Office here has received
. number of orders, it has not been called
upon to issue any as yet. Andas this
may result from lack of information on
the subject, we publish the following ex
position of the matter
1t is intended to promote public con.
yenience by affording cheap, ippediate
and safe agency for the transmission
through the mails of small sums of money
for which bank drafts cannot readily be
procured. The mode By which safety is
secured consists in leaving out of the or
der the name of the payee or party for
whom the money is intended. In this
respect money order differs from an or
dinary bank draft or check. When a
money order is applied for, the postmaster
will furnish the applicant with printed
form Of application, in which the latter
will enter all the particulars of amount,
name, address, &c., required to be stated
in the money order and advice. From
the items contained in such application
the postmaster will fill up the money
order and also the corresponding form OF
advice.
The order, when completed, is handed
to the applicant, upon payment of tn,
sum expires sed therein and of the fet
chargesble thereon, aohich fee must inua
riably be paid in money, postage stamp
not being receivable therefor. By the mai
Immediately following the issue of
money-order, the postmaster transmit,
the corresponding advice to the postmaste
at the Office upon which it is drawn. Th
latter is thus furnished, before the orde
itself can be presented, with all nec+ ssar
information to detect fraud, if any shoul
be attempted.
Any office may draw upon any othe
Office in the list of money-order Offices fo
sum, upon any order, from one dollar /

Some of our artists who think it neces-
sary for their fame 10 paint large pictures,
and then complain that the public do not
take them off their hands at prices in pro-
portion-paying so much per square foot
Of canv,s-migbt learn prof table lesson
from Meissonier, the French microcosmic
artist. Here is a man whose field of ope-
rations is never more than eight BY
twelve, and whose pictures sell readily at
home for from 5000 TO 10000 francs.
The reasons Why the pictures OF this artist
so small that, when taken out of their
frames they can be folded up and tucked
in ones pocket t-book-are sound and sat-
isfactory when they are known. The
principal reason Is, that his pictures, no
matter how Giminutive in their details,
have all the tones and effect. of paintings
of the size of life. Meissonier takes the
trouble of making lifs-size studies of ell
the items which enter into the compost
ton of his pieces. A hat, glass Of wine,
sword, the pattern of table-cloth, q
baton, buckle, the most trifing things,
are all first painted by him full size from
the real offsets. By this means he learns
exactly the kinds and gradations of color
that he must employ to produce the same
effects in a miniature picture; and the
latter picture ne executes by the aid Of
powerful magnifying glass, and with the
utmost patience and elaboration, devoting
from six weeks to two months Of hard
work to subject no larger than his palm.
When it is added that Meissonier is one
of the most accomplished colorists in the
world, and that he possesses an astonish-
ing taient-jnst short OF genius-for
every kind of drawing, the extraordinary
merits discovered in pieces done in this
way are no longer a subject of mystery,
and cannot be sscribed to an affected or
fanciful taste. His pictures, in short,
hold all that is worth having in great
spreads of canvas, with the additional
advantage that they are portable and handy
TO carry about with one, like diamonds
There are photographed or engraved
copies of some OF bis most popular works
to be found at the print ships. Among
them are "The Reader "The Lover Of
Books" "Tbe Three Friends" and sNa-
polson After the Battle of Waterloo
which is generally considered his ines,
production Letter from Paris.
