of the groom. The gallant Price,
however, hearing that his intended

she was, upon consideration chang

A PECULIAR TAsTE.-A young
lady of Indianapolis, Ind, has
contracted a bad habit of chewing
paper, and cannot now break off.
She consumes on an average a
quire per week, rolling her paper
ball under her tongue as a sweet
morsel, and squirting the saliva
about like an old salt. She is
quite q connoisseur in the matter
of paper, and evinces a decided
preference for a certain pale blue
unruled foolscap, which smells
badly. Deprived of her paper for
a day or two she becomes restless,
distract, and melancholy, refuses
to eat or be comforted, and is not
herself till q fresh supply is pro-
cured. We have heard of opium
eating, snuf-eating, arsenic-eating,
and pencil-eating among the fe-
male fraternity, but we believe
this is the first instance Of paper
eating that has come under our
knowledge. The young lady
should be informed that bandages
from sore legs, rags from the gut
ter, cotton diapers, shirt-tails, and
all sorts of miscellaneous odds and
ends are used in the manufacture
of the paper she chews. That
would cure her, we reckon.

subject before the people-urge it

their duty in this particular-du-

kindred, and abused fellow-citi-
zens. The only way to get rid of
such wicked laws and lawmakers
to reinstate their disfranchised
and ostracised children and friends
to the right of citizenship and free
men, is to register and cote. Letnone
ask to register who are not clear
ly qualified under the law. Did
he vote in the Presidential, or Gov
ernor's election, or in that of con-
stitutional amendments, or can he
show a clean loyal record? Moth
ing need be feared from any hon.
est man--no man not governed by
pelf and petty malice. Truth is
COMPREHENSIVE justice certain
sober second thought of the PEG
pie always right.

will honestly discharge his duty
No one would ask more or less of
him. Then let thepeople through

How THE MONEY ORDER SYSTEM
Works AT THE VIRGINIA PosT OFFICE.
On the 5th of February last, through
instructions from the head of the De-
partment at Washington, Captain War
ner, postmaster of this city, commenced
the system of money orders, which has
since become so popular medium Of
sending money all over the United States,
and which has been ascertained to be
cheaper by FIVE hundred per cent, more
expeditions, and equally as safe an ex-
press as that of any private corporation
on this continent. When the business
first commenced, the maximum amount
of single orders was $50, and no one was
allowed to fill an order for more than
that amount at any one time of sending
but in July the department finding SO
much business was being done through
this branch of the department, increased
the amount of drafts to $50, of which
amount several orders may be given to
the sender, under certain circumstances,
explained only by application to the
postmaster. The tariff on sending an
order of $40 or under, is ten cents on a
larger amount, twenty-five cents, OF
which the postmaster receives the enor
nous fec of one.third the tariff. The
following amounts show the business
done monthly in money orders, and how
much is saved to the public by the
method: ...;,..'...- .-..- ..

will be benefited as soon as the contracts

parties that secured charters for bridges,
ferries, and toll-roads, during the last
session of the Legislature, will take
measures to perform what they were
authorized to do, Montana viii be amply
supplied with internal improvements,
and the useful work of circulating letters
and newspapers will be materially pro-
moted. We presume that there will be
no citizens who will apply for the priv
ilege of travelling at the expense of the
Government between certain towns and
forts in Nebraska or Dakota. The War
Department must operate in regions
over which the savage is riding on
bloody trails, before the mails can be
conveyed with safety and dispatch. Nc
troubles of this nature will affect any Of
the routes which are to be established
