THE ABOLITION OF STAMP s.-The
only United States Government stamp,
necessary to be used are for tobacco, fer
mented liquors, proprietary medicines,
matches, and for checks. In fact, inter
nal revenue business will be hereafter
strictly confined to collecting licenses and
taxes, and selling stamps for the manufac-
ture and sale of tobacco, liquors and i'm.
posts on banks and bankers. 1t has been
stated that papers issued October ! or
after, no matter when they are dated,
need no stamp, and on this point the Jour-
nal Of Comn1srce quotes an officer of the
Government as reasoning in this wise
If man draws deed of trust or promis-
sorry note, and does not deliver it for n
year afterwards because the transaction
he intended to make hangs fire. or for
any other reason, the date Of delivery of
the document is the date of issue, and the
date Off at alb stamp is required. II a
man presents a series of notes for sale,
only the notes sold, and they only when
sold, need be stamped. The notes returned
to the drawer do not require stamps.
But, if he should take the same notes and
hypothecate them, they would all require
stamps, because they are ISSUED for use,
and are as much notes in law as if they
were sold and the date of hypothecation
must be the date of stamping. If a docu-
ment upon which stamp is now required,
and would not be required after the first
day of October, should be issued then and
dated back to period when stamps were
required, it would not need stamp if a
person who issues it can show that it was
not issued till after Oct. ! 1872.

A New GAME.-A new game of cards
called Pedro, n modification of the game
of old sledge, is now played on The rail
road trains. The Boston Transcript
reporter who has evidently been practis-
ing the game, describes it thus: The
five spot of trumps is Pedro, and scores
five in the game to whomsoever holds it
at the conclusion. 1t can be taken by
the six spot or higher card. The num-
Der of the game is raised from seven to
eleven, and the rest of the count is unal-
tered, they rating in this order; high,
low, Jack, Pedro, game The last
three counts to the final winner, and if
he be fortunate to have all five, he scores
9 in the game.

A Universal Article of Faith.-In these days

bic to indicate an article of faith upon which ALI

their own stagnant, watery wares, by decfliug all
spirituous medicinal preparations. But the public

4 Rail-. Dad Decision.

A decision was recently rendered b y
Superior Criminal Court Judge in
Massachusetts,, which is calculated TO
have very serious effect upon the sun
day travel Some two months since II
appears that Mr.. Weatherbee, OF Bos-
ton, hurricdly made up his mind to take
n Sunday trip into the country. Having
barely had time catch the train Mt
the old Colony ID ll, he was unable to
procure n ticket. AZ is n rule OF the
company that nm addition of ten cents
shall be collected under such circum-
stances, but Mr.. Weatherbee believing il
10 be unfair, declined to comply with
the conductors demand. The matter
subsequently came before the Municipal
Court. and resulted in the imposition
Of fine OF five dollars and costs, the
Magistrate holding that there had bacn
an evasion Of fare. The case was then
appealed to higher Court on the
ground that companies running trains
on Sunday, except where there is an
absolute necessity for the same, violate
n well-known statue of the Common.
wealth. and, consequently, have no legal
right to collect fares. Judge Devens
Immediately recognized the force of the
argument, and the jury, acting on his
advice, brought in Il verdict of not guilty
Under this decision, the railroad com
panies will be unable to collect even the
ordinary fares from passengers who may
succeed in getting upon the cars without
having procured tickets. AT the Boston
depots it is possible to prevent roughs
from jumping on trains but the rural
stations being completely open, cannot
be guarded without the aid OF force, TO
maintain which, would cost more than
the profits of the Sunday traffic. In any
event, the dilemma is sufficiently grave
to put directors to their wits end, if
they do not decide to discontinue the
running Of nlay trains until the diff
Guilty can be met by legislative enact.

James Gordon Bennett, the late editor
of the New York Herald, left large be-
quest to his wife. but only on condition
that She remained a widow. This condi-
ton WILT is said, be set aside by the
courts. 1t has been judicially decided
over and over again that all conditions
in restraint to marriage are opposed to
public policy and are simply null and
void. Mrs. Bennett is much younger
than her late husband and may marry

Since it is demonstrated in Wisconsin
that certain marshes, by judicious cultiva-
ton, can be made to yield from $50 to
800 bushels of cranberries per acre. the
market value of which is from 81 to So
per bushel. the land has risen in value
from a trife more than nothing to, in
some instances, $3.50 an acre. The cost
of putting a marsh into first rate bearing
condition is from S25 to $40 an acre.

TABLE R~AppINa."-A worthy and pious
correspondent wishes us to give a good, lengthy
editorial on liable Rappiug,' and gives as a
reason that many persons in his section, are per,
picked to know how it is that the table should
rap" The people Of the section referred to,
are not the only ones that have been perplexed
by 'table-rapping;;" some of the wisest and
best people have been sadly beset to know how
such things are done. We have seen some OF
these strange things ourselves. and we remain
until this day in a state of perplexity as to how
it was done. There may be some occult science
in the performance of tables, candle, stands
chairs, sofas and such like articles OF domestic
comfort which time may bring to llght, out
while there are SO many other matters to clalm
the attention and engage the thoughts OF PEG
pie, and Christian people especially, We think 1t
the part. OF wisdom not to bother our brains
about table.tippiug and such like freaks. :
Our advice is, plant corn, raise peanuts, hoe
potatoes and cabbages, get tar, turpentlne'
shingles, slaves, tan-bark, dig sassatras.roots
drive an ox.team, break rock on a turnpike
do anything that is honest and honorable, but
