a SUCCESSFUL physician, and by talents and
requirements, az well as by his genial and

that caused his sudden death.

The Envelope Question.
WASHINGTON. Jan. %

w AsHINGION, y an. 20.
Postmaster General Creswell writes to
Senator Ramsay in regard to the petitions
to Congress that the manufacture and sale
OF stamped envelopes by the government
and printing business cards on the same
will be discontinued that such thing
as counterfeiting stamped envelopes has
not been known, while many of the
stamps on envelopes become loose and are
lost, thus subjecting letters to be sent to
the dead letter office
The coat Of the envelopes sold by the
department, when compared with the
quantity sold by the trade in a year, does
not show any danger that the government
will Inonopolize the business. One estab-
lishment in New York, owned by firm
whose name is attached to the petition,
manufactured and sold last year ~, 000,-
900 envelopes.

From Japan.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 90.
Admiral Rogers, commanding the Asia
tic fleet reports from Woosung, China,
Doc 1ath. He returned to that place from
Pekin with Secretary Seward and his
party, who on the journey to and from the
capital were everywhere received with
courtesy. In Pekin the King and officers
returned the visit which had been made
to them. The interview was agreeable,
but their conversation was confined to
genGrslities. Mr.. Seward once or twice
touched lightly upon serious matters, but
the discussion was avoided by then,
The Admiral was convinced from the i'm
preston he received from various sources
that the Imperial government under
stands that they cannot cope with any
great western power in war, and will
avoid as far as they can any occasion for
war. Admiral Rogers says the present
dynasty is in a helpless and decaying
and on the verge of dissolution,
and he predicts its speedy downfall. The
and Minister Low will 60 to
Corea in May to negotiate with thIt gov
eminent.

The Situation at Rome.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.
A dispatch dated Rome, Jan. Gath,
states that the Ambassadors of Austria
and the North German Confederation, in
compliance with instructions received
from their respective governments, in
quired of Cardinal Antonelli what guar
sntee the Pope would regard as suitable
on the part of the Italian government to
remove the distrust at present existing
between the civil and religious authori-
ties. The reply, by order of the Pope,
intimated that the court of Rome wished
no guarantees other than pure and
simple restoration of the territories of the
Church from the Neapolitan frontiers to
the Pc, and would accept of no arrange
ment not based on these conditions. The
Pope's health is good. Much of his time
is occupied in receiving visitors. The
Belgian deputation waited on him recent
ly, and presented the Offering of the
Catholics of Belgium, and an address.
The Pope, in reply, said: 81 thank you
for having come to comfort me under
these circumstances. Doubtless God is
our principal support, but the natural af-
lection of children should lead them to
sustain the courage of their father. /
will continue in the way am walking.
Do not allow yourself 10 be cast down.
What happens to-day is only trial.
The Church was born amid trial and has
always lived in trial, and will continue
its career on the earth, expecting and
surmounting fresh trials"

THE TICONDEROGA BRIDGE IN THE
New YORK LEGISLATURES. - Perhaps
you will ba surprised to sec the interest
which the New York delegation displays
IN the ferry matter ut Ticonderoga. But

at all But they conceive it is plum, a
luioy red plum, out of which something
may be- extracted.
To-day this question of reference of the
bill repeating the act of 1869 was again
5r0ught up, and the motion for its refer
cnca to the committee on commerce and
navigation was renewed. An extrsordi-
nary amount of feeling was exhibited
during the protracted debate which en-
sncd. Nr. Delano Of Essex was the cham
piou Of tho ferry and of the reference to
the 1omnit'cp on navigation. Speaking
often aud earuestly, he made some telling
poiuts fer his aide. Smith Weed Of Gin
tGu was the leader uu the other side, sus.
taiued ard aided 10y Mr.. Alvord of Onon-
laga. OAe hit made by Mr. Delauo con-
gulspd the House Mr. Weed denied the
allegation that he was a member of the
A--pmbty in 1862 and afterwards asked
Mr. D7lsno if no meant 10 repeat that
mrnt Mr.. Dclauo responded by
-,,, ny thar Mr. Weed was an active and
-routrcnt member Of the third House.
Fhc assembly was tichled by the hit.
Ehe force of Mr. Weeds argument was
.r'pPlsd by he alleged fact that h. was
re author If the very bill hr now so
strongly moved to repeal Perhaps the
6uel disposition of the matter would have
been the same any way, but do rot
Wink that Mr. Weeds advocacy helped
his case at all. Mr.. Flagg aud Mr.. Baker
we're silent from obvious reasons of pro-
prey and delioaey, both being members

I ofk members, or many of them, wanted
the reference made to the committee on
commerce. A resolution of Mr.. Buck of
New York, to refer to the committee on

this any indication of the final disposition
