sheet of thin paper, the top being
shaped of in the form of an ordinary

having been written on, the two
sides are folded in, the bottom folded
over them, and then the flap brought
down and fixed in the usual way with

simple and light, weighing two
grains less than the post card, TO
which it seems every way preferable,

WHAT GIRLS SHOULD Drink DIR.
Dio Lewis, in bis book "Our Girls, =
says:
IL am astonished that a young wo-
man who is ambitious Of clear fine
skin, should drink ten. 1t is a great
enemy to fair complexion. Wine,
coffee and cocoa may be used with
out tinging the skin but as soon as
tca-drinking becomes q regular hab-
It,, the eye Of the discriminating OBJ
server detects it in the skin. Tea
compromises the complexion, proba-
bly,, by deranging the liver. Weak
tea or coffee may be used occasional
~, in moderate quantities without
harm but | would advise all Young
women who would preserve soft,
clear complexion and quiet nerves,
70 avoid all drinks but cold water.
IL is an excellent practice to drink
one or two glasses of cold water on
retiring at night, and on rising in the
morning. If you have good teeth
and can help the food into your
stomach without using any fluid, cx-
copt the saliva, it will, in the long
run, contribute much to your health.

Jurors in the Federal COurt--Ah
Explanation from Marshal Slack.

o. US. MARSHAL's OFFICE, I
WHEELING, w. VA, May IL. !
To the Editor OF the Intelligenccr.
see by an article In your paper Of this
date that misunderstanding exists in the
minds Of the people Of the Second Con-
gressiOnal District in regard to the in
struchons Of Judge jackson to the Mar
shal, in rrfarence to summoning jurors TO
attend the Court. The Judge did not in.
struct the Marshal to summon the jurors
IRON the Congressional District In which
the Court was held. The instructions
were TO summon the jurors from that sec.
ton of country or district OF country in
which the Court was held, and not 20 take
jurors from one end of the State to the
other, distance Of 800 or 600 miles, ut
the expense OF the government, when
competent jurors can be had by summon
ing them from the section Of the State
where the Court Is sitting, at halt the eX-
pense. There was no intention to deprive
the citizens of Berkeley and Jefferson, or
any other section OF the State, from
being Jurors in this Court. This instruc-
ton by the Court was in the interest Of the
government and move to Curtail the
expenses OF the Courts, Under the late
law in regard to Jurors the fees arc more
than double what they were under the
old law, and II has become quite an object
to get summoned on the jury in the L. S,
Court. ltpays men that have nothing
else to do, and it has become n subject OF
great deal Of annoyance to the Marshal
on account Of the many applications that
are made for places on the jury, This
was simply an economical measure with
tho Court and one that ought and will re-
celye the approval of all good men in the
District.
Hoping that you will give this article q
place in your paper, that Il may have It's
weight in correcting u misunderstanding
in the mind of the public and do justice
to the Court,
Iremain, &c, THE MARSHAL

THE In Crosse Republican, which has

the voluntary annuity that has hitherto
