The New POSTAGE srAMPs.-sevcral En-
roneous Impressions are entertained in GER
tain quarters In regard to the stamps Of the
Post Oflco Department. The stamps now
in use were not introduced by Postmaster
General Creswell. They were contracted for
BY Mr.. Randall before the Fourth Of March,
but were not sold until the old stock was dis
posed Of first in the Department, and then
by each post Office. 1t was owing to the
fact that the supply Of stamps Of the old de-
sign became exhausted about the time that
Mr.. Creswell succeeded Mr.. Randall that
the paternity Of the present Issue vas
charged upon his administration. Again,
no new contract has been made. The Ma
tional Bank Note Company will continue to
furnish the stamps should change in de-
sign be decided upon, as 1t no doubt will
but at this time no change has been posi-
lively ordered.
The only steps which have been takci
have been TO request the cngraycrs to submit
designs for the ten stamps as follows Fo
the FIRST Ave proHles Of Washington, Frank
lin, Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln an
for the second I've, the busts OF the same IL
dividuals. These designs have yet to be sui
mltted TO the Department, and the order 70
. change In the stamps will then be require
before any number will be printed. Should
this order be given II will necessarily be som
time before the new stamps could be Intro
duced throughout the country.

A Two CENT DoG.-Yesterday afternoon two
cent dog sprang from an alley, closely followed by
a five cent brick. Rounding the corner at right
angles, he came in contact with the feet ofa Dutch
woman, who was carrying jug Of molasses in one
hand and basket of eggs in the other The sud-
den collision of the dog with her lower extremities
threw her from her feet, and she sat down upon
the basket of eggs, at the same time breaking the
jug of moasses upon tho pavement. A young
gentleman, carpetbag in hand, anxious to catch
the train, was running close behind, and stepping
upon the fragments of the jug and its contents sat
down on the chest of the Dutch woman, who said,
mime Got" The young man said something
about mad dog but in the excitement said it back
wards. In the meantime the dog had run against
the feet of team of horses, attached to load Of
potatoes, and they taking fright, started for home
The end board being out, they unloaded the pota-
toes along the street as they went. Crossing the
railroad track, the wagon caught in the rails and
tore one of them from its place. A freight train
coming along few moments later, was thrown
from the track, smashing up dozen cars, and
killing thirty or forty hogs. The horses on reach

turned milk pail, the contents of which another
two cent dog licked up. One ofthe horses having
broken bis leg, was killed this morning, and the

AN EXPLOITATION TO SLEEPINEss. Students
who are really faithful laborious brainworkers need
all the sleep they can get, whether at night or in
the day time The night is the most appropriate
season for sleep and yet We should never hesitate
to take nap in the day time whenever we find it
necessary. Amid the cares and responsibilities
of our modern civilization, there are unnumbered
Interruptions and contingencies that make it prac
ticaly impossible for us to obtain our full amount
of seep in the hours that are usually devoted for
that purpose. Now there is no law so imperative
on man as the law that requires US to sleep. If
we deny ourselves Of it; if we get behind and to
use the expression of the street, fall into debt to
Nature in this respect, we must improve the first
opportunity to make ourselves good else We shall
ultimately fail A brainworker who religiously en-
joys liberal amount of sleep may preserve his
health and elasticity even though he violates every
other law Of hygiene. On the contrary, he who
faithfully observes all the rules Of diet, Of exercise,
and of labor, yet denies himself of sleep is really
guilty of al and can by no means escape unpunish-
ed There is no appeal from this law. There is
no virtue that can redeem its violation. Itadmits
of no atonement. To sleep is the one great hygie-
mic commandment. tits the Alpha and the Omega,
the beginning and the end the first and last of the
great laws ofmental hygiene. He who understands
and obeys this law really understands and obeys
the whole hygienic decalogue, for no one can long
sleep well who persistently disregards the other
laws Of health. Sleep is one of the best of our
thermometers of health. By the quantity and
quality of sleep that our patients can take, we can
best Judge of their daily condition and of their pro-
gress toward recovery. We always feel assured
that whatever improves the sleep of the exhausted
invalid to that degree helps him toward recovery,
and that whatever disturbs his sleep, to that de-
gree brings on relapse and disease. Sleeplessness
is one of the earliest and most constant symptoms
of insanity, Of ofhypochondria, Of all the nameless
forms ofnervous arrangement. Whenever, there
fore, we find that VIC are not sleeping as we'll we
are wont, when our dreams are peculiarly dark and
ugly and distressing, and leave unsightly scars in
the memory, when We roll and toss end worry
through the watches of the night, anxiousy wait
ing for the day, when we wake long before our ac-
customed hour of rising and find no pleasure in
the morning nap, then may we suspect that our
bark is nearing the quicksands and shadows, and
then without delay should we examine our charts,
revise our calculation, and according to our best
Judgment return to the channel from which we
have suffered ourselves to be driven-Dr. G. W
Beard

ANIMAL SAGAcITY AT THE NORTH According
to the Esquimaux, the seal constructs its habita-
ton beneath the surface Of the ice in such man
ner that it can enter it from the water below here
the young seal passes its infancy, and when the re-
turning heat of summer has destroyed its igloo Or
dwelling the young seal is old enough to take care
of itself; but this mode of lodging its young be-
meath the ice is wel.known to the bear who with
its keen sense soon detects the whereabouts of the
seals nursery, and in order to gain an entrance the
bear, retiring short distance, makes spring, and
comes down with all his weight on lie roof of the
igloo, crushes it in, and Immediately seizes the
young seal with its paw Here it might be sup
posed the hungry bear at once devours his prey;
but no. it is far too wary to do so; it knows full
well that where babe is there must be mother,
and that she will be in search of her darling, there
fore the bear sorapes away the snow from the seal
hole, and holding the young seal by the fipper,
allows it to founder about, and when the mother
approaches, the bear slyy draws the young seato-
wards it until the old one is within reach, when he
sezes her with the other paw, and thus captures
both. The mode in which the bear captures the
seal on the ice is very similar to that followed by
the Esquimaux. When at distance from the
seal, tho bear throws itself down and stealthily
craws or bitches along towards the SEAL and if the
seal looks up it lies perfectly still, and makes at the
same time noise which hlls the seal; the bear
repeats the operation until it approaches its victim
so near that escape is impossible, when it falls q
prey to Bruins appetite Another mode Of OBJ
tanning food by the bear is to watch from cliff
the movements Of the walrus, who are fond of sun
ming themselves on the rocks, and when one Of
these has taken up convenient position for the
bears purpose, the latter lifts large piece of rock,
and, with astonishing accuracy, throws it down on
the animals head. If the walrus is only stunned,
the bear runs down, and with the rock hammers
its victim on the head until it is dead When at
tempting to capture seal in water, the bear sinks.
his body beneath the surface of the sea, leaving
only the head dabove water, which resembles piece
of floating ice; when the seal rises its head above
the surface, Brun quietly sinks, and swimming
under the seal, seizes it.

AN IMPROBABLE SToRY.-Hcre is California
story which is almost Incredible: "A hired man
on Napa farm was detailed to keep watch on
the cornfcld, and not let the black marauders in
wade the premises, but like many other men in a
similar situation, tried to plan method whereby
so much labor would not have to be performed so
he hit upon the plan ofsoaking some corn in whis-
key and placing it in the field so that the crows
would surely get drunk, and then he thought he
would have sure thing on them, and could kill
them easily He had tried to shoot them with
shot gun, but crows can smell powder long way.
After soaking some corn over night, he put bounti
full supply in the field early every morning. and in
about two Or three hours he went to sec how things
were progressing, and mark you what follows: One
of the crows, little larger than the rest, had
gathered up and taken possession of almost all the
corn and had built himself bar out of clods of
earth, and was retailing tho whiskcy soaked corn
to the other crows, charging them three grains of
sproutel corn for one soaked grain. Our hired
man had not the heart to kill any of the creatures
that seemed in their actions like mankind

The money appropriated by the city to
the Cairo and Blandville Turnpike road
company has, we believe, been judic-
iously expended. We have now very
fair connection with the interior Of Bal
lard county. Teams can reach Cairo at
all seasons Of the year. When the river
II out OF Its banks the ferry boat can
reach the point where the road crosses
the creek or bayou, and at all other times
the Irregular ferry landing IL accessible.
There has now been thirteen or
fourteen thousand dollars expended or
this road. Had this sum been raised In
advance and the work let out at contract,
We are assured II would have secured to
NJ . double track turnpike road FROM the
river bank TO Blsndville. A good work
has done, however, and II will not be
long before the people will realize n
return that will have a visible effect
upon the varioss departments Of bus
iness pursued In our city.
