Sending Newspapers by Mail-Import-

BY recent decision of the Post Of
flee Department, the law regarding
sending newspapers by mail has been
more clearly defined than it has hereto
fore stood. No name Of memorandum
can be made on q newspaper inside of
the wrapper on which the address is
written. It is barely permissible to
mark an article with pen or pencil.
More than this subjects the paper to
letter postage, and the violator of the
law to fine. No printed card, handbili
or advertisement, no written notice,
letter, or slip of any kind whatsoever.

any OF these things is to violate the law.
Printed slips pasted on the outside or

law: Sending Of transient papers can

weight at transient postage charges,
but must not send any written matter

Pain and its Panacca.


While pain is a condition of human
ity, every effort to amelorate it's in
tensity, or remove the predisposing
cause, merits our warmest gratitude,
our careful consideration, and it's sue
cess our frank acknowledgment. There
is popularity about the sensation
called pain which is of infinite service.
It is premonitiou of impending ill, a
declaration of war against the we'll
being of the body which cannot be re-
moved while the cause exists. Remove
the cause, and the effect will cease,
endeavor to cover up tho effect. and tho cause
will be intensified, the anguish temporarily
concealed, break forth again with redoubled
ardor. Many remedies merely do this, and
after repeated trials, fail to satisfy the condi
tons upon which only can they be useful to
larity, and are retired as unworthy Of public
approval. There are others which time tries
but to enhance their value, to endorse and
spread abroad their usefulness and common
humanity. the public is perpetual gamer by
their extended popularity and expanded sales.
OF these, perhaps there are no such two nota-
BILE instances as tho Davis Pain Killer and Al
styled tho mathematics of medicine. for it
never makes mistake, it's modifying intlu-
ence pervades the system, and one trial only
is requisite to make it q treasure forever. It
does not merely cover up, 1t cures. All the
civilized nations Of the earth admit its
value, accept its fame and benefit by it's
use. It it no flattery to compare it to the
sovereign balm spoken Of in the Holy Writ,
for pain flies from its presence, - night is
dissipated by the rising sun. Externally,
internally and eternally 1t proves its value
wherever tried. The same holds good Of Aliens
Lung Balsam. which, for all complaints of the
air passages of the lungs, has proved itsolf
what it processes to be- positive specific.
The western world owes debt of gratitude it
can never repay to T. H. G. Allen, whose
fundamentally WAS the main spring of the
introduction of these medicines. For years lie
was the painstaking pioneer of the Pain Killer
and other remedies westward, and the old man
and matron, tho sturdy pioneer and his cour-
ageous he'pmeet, now enjoying aprosperous
old age, will testify to the aid and comfort
they received years and years ago from these
medicines, when drug stores were few and
doctors far apart Under providence they will
attribute their green old age, lusty and kindly,
to their acquaintance with these mixtures,

" And doubtless twas planted on purpose for NO."
So he nibblc and ate and he rolled In the clover,
As blithe Us . lark, and - plump ~ plover;

But he never attempted to harm nor to slay:
Tor said he, Since wSvc plenty, aud God gave ALL

Far away from the quiet scclusion Of homo;
And while on his travcls,-oh grievOus tO toll!-
very unpleasant adventure befell.

The Property ofthc New York Printing
company under the sherln's Ham.
Mcr-lt IL Disposed of for SlOA,OOO.
From the N. Y. Tunes of Saturday.
Yesterday morning the Sheritr's sale
of the property of the New York Print
ing Company took place under the
hammer of Mr.. Richard Field, the
Sher'if's auctioneer. 1t was intended
to begin tho sale by disposing of the
Da"no,street prop :rty Of the Company,
but when the Deputy. Sheriff, Mr..
burns, and the auctioneer arrived
there they found tho doors
closed and the keys could
not he found. Some one in the
crowd suggested that ''Tweed Ind 'em. y
At all events the officers and about
fifty others proceeded to the type:foun-
dry OF the Company, ut the corner of
Franklin and Centre. and opened the
sale. The machinery, including moulds.
furnaces, and other materials, were
sold to MI. Bruce, the type manufactur-
or, for $500. The type metal was
then put up and knocked down to Mr..
q. A. Poole for thirteen and half cents
per pound, but dispute arising among
tho bldders-some of them asserting
that they had made higher bids than
that fgure-it was again put up and
sold to MI. Poole for twenty cents per
pound.
The officers and bidders next visited
the premises occupied by the company
in Twelfth street, near Third avenue.
The property found there was sold to
Mr.. Poole for $40, 900. It consisted of
Adams presses, a portion of book
bindery, some tables and machinery.
The sale was somewhat delayed at this
place, owing to the disappearance of a
number of valuable books which had
been left at the place for binding. They
were the property of some of the prin-
cipal publishers of the city. The sher-
IFS officers, who was in charge of the
premises for some days prior to the
sale, could not explain where the books
were or how they were taken away.
The property in Duane street was
next sold, the doors of the premises
being open on the return of the officers.
It consisted of four old presses and
some other stock, the balance of the
property left after the sale which was
made on Jan. s.. It was knocked down
for 81, 900. The total proceeds of the
sale amounted to $102, 900.
