CHANGE OF POSTAGE STAMPs.-General
Terrell, the Third Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral, in order to remove the dissatisfaction
expressed against the present postage stamps,
proposes to change them, and with this view,
he has directed the Bank Note Company
which furnishes them to prepare the designs
for new issues. The heads of Washington,
Jackson, Franklin, Lincoln and Jefferson are
to be restored in place of the present designs !;
to be represented profile busts each to
represent the various denominations. The
stamps are to be larger than those nowin use,
and oblong. Instead of one hundred and
fifty being printed on a sheet, there will be
only one hundred. The former color, red,
will also be restored. A month or two may
elapse before the new stamps will be ready.

Hon. ] A. Royce, of Cincinnati, here
tofore prominent Radical, in a communica>
ton to the Cincinnati Enquirer, says: II
have severed myself from the Republican par
ty, because it is an organized hypocrisy, a
shufflng dissimulation, fraud, delusiou
and a snare, a combination of grasping fl-
natcs, fatteniug on the vitals of the wealth
producers and wealth-distributor of the couu-
try" Mr.. Royce evidently understands the
organization from which he has parted.

To REMOVE FREcKLEs-Cosmetics sold
to remove freckels are often dangerous The
best plan is to make lotion of teacupful of
sour milk and small quantity of horse radish;
let this stand from six to twelve hours, then
use it to wash the freckles two times day.

THOMAS CARLYLE SwEARs THAT WE ARE
GoING-ro HELL.-The condition of America
was descanted on by Mr., Carlyle in terms less
remarkable for fattery than force. "As sure
as the Lord reigns," said he, s'you are rushing
down to hell with desperane velocity. The
scum of the world has got possession of your
country, and nothing can save you from the
devils clutches. Not perhaps" cried he,
raising his voice to its shrillest notes, "a hell
burning with material fire and birthstone, but
the wide weltering fiery chaos of corruption
in high places, and the misrue of the people,
A fne republic that England follows il
the train, and is even now on the brink of the
internal precipice-and hell below" OF
course could make no reply to these "pro~
phetic sounds so full of woe," but waited in
serene silence for the tempest to pass over.

Important Decision Ia United

Special Dispatch to The Loulsvlue Courier.

Special Dispatch to the LouIgviIle Courier.
Journal
CINCINNATI, January IS An import
ant decision was delivered here to-day
in the United States District Court, by
Judge Lesvitt, in a case entitled the
United States against 500 caddies OF to-
bacco. The most important point in
vOlved was that, /! the tobacco was held
in fraud OF the law, that is if it had been
tainted with fraud previous to coming
into the possession Of the claimant, It
must be condemned. "I am Obliged" :"
said the Judge, "to say that il. it kins
the claimant, although il is conceded
that he was the purchaser for fair con-
sideration, and without any imputation
Of actual fraud, yet If the tobacco had
found its way into the market through
fraud, without the payment Of tax, aud
under these circumstances he became
owner Of the property even ss an innO-
cent purchaser, yet such is the stern
meaning OF the internal revenue IsW
that it must be held that be had it in his
possession in fraud OF the law, and, con-
sequenuy, sut tjsct to forfeiture. This
important principle will be regarded by
you 6s decisive in the result Of this csse.u
The Judge remarked in conclusion that
il was very deplcTable that so many busi-
ness men, generally regarded as strictly
honest and conscientious in their deal
ings with each othes, should feel them
sal Ives at liberty TO take advantage OF the
Government in conniving at frauds upon
the revenue laws. It was false view of
the legal obligation resting upon every
good citizen.

"TheY Couldn't Hitch and SO
They Parted"

The New Albany lind Ledger, of
Tuesday, tells the following story of two
hesI that couldn't beat as one This
morning officer Lsnsford was called upon
by 9 man named Edward Sherlock, re-
siding on Bank street, between Main
and Water, who requested him to act as
umpire in division Of household effects
between himself and his wifs. It seems
that Sherlock had married a widow
named Mrs. Hall, in Louisville, about
eight months ago, but somehow or other
the union was not happy one. Sher-
lock claims that his wife was not as
fsithfui to him as he had a right to ex-
pect, which soft impeachment she stoutly
denies. At last they agreed to separate,
each one to take the property belonging
to them at tae time Of the marriage,
Sherlock fearing, probably, that bis
bettsr half would get the Better Of him
in the divide, called upon Lsnsford to
stand by and see fair play. This. the
officer did, it seems, to the satisfaction OF
all parties. Sherlock moved his things
off and then remarked to Mrs.: s. "Annie,
If you want your things taken over the
river, bundle them up, and 1 will send
them over and pay charges" To this
Mrs. 5. seemed very grateful and ac.
cepted the offer. They parted in very
friendly manner, evidently glad to be
rid Of one another,

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
Runie Inscriptions and Assy-
rian Heads.

The work OF excavating q foundation
for q pier for the Mississippi bridge at
st. Louis has led to discoveries that are
full of promise to arch geological inquirers
after truth. A heavy blast set among
the rock, on Saturday evening, revealed
subterranean passage that passes under
the river to the Illinois shore, with nu-
merous lateral branches. The main pas
sage is about twenty feet high by fifteen
broad, and is systematically srched over
head, part Of the way being cut through
solid rock and presenting evidences of
substantial masonry. The bottom was
much worn as if by carriage or chariot
wheels. One Of the lateral passages
leads to large chamber supported by
leaning pillars Of solid rock. In the
walls were inches closed with nicely fit
ting slabs bearing inscriptions in Runic
characters not unlike those from the
mines at Ninevah. Between the inches
are pilasters with draped Assyrian or
Egyptian heads, wrought with skill and
swe-inspiring effect. A hall from this
chamber communicated with another,
after descent by flight OF forty-one
steps. This last chamber il oval in shape,
its walls being sculptured in magnificent
bas relief AID Runie inscriptions. One
OF the groups OF character is believed to
represent Ahasheurus crOWning Queen
Elizabeth, and another that Of Luke
Deuteronomy going into captivity. The
entire discovery speaks Of period at
least forty-four centuries before the sd-
vent of Christ.
II this Is not eanard of wonderful
proportions, we shall look with anxiety
for further disclosures. The Repu6licGg,
from which paper we gather the above
facts, says that the moss intense excite
ment prevails among the scientific men
and antiquarians of the city, and that
the most searching Investigations viii be
pushed immediately,
