SALE SET AsIDE.-The sale of block
No. 80, made by Francis Henry, Esq,
MS administrator of the estate of the late
DR.. Suckley, has been set aside by the
Judge of Probate for Thurston county,
and another sale ordered on the Goth of
February, because the property did not
sell at near its supposed value, the eight
lots bringing less than five hundred
dollars. The reason why no more was
offered for these lots is, that they are on
the Maynard plat, the undivided one
half of which is in contest. But for this
cloud upon the title, the property would
readily sell for thousand dollars.

items are not among her most attractive
qualities. while her modest and mai
tEenly demeanor disarms the criticisms
of the most obdurate sticklers for limi-
ting women exclusively to the domestic
sphere. Unlike the tramping brawlers
for women's rights, she maintains her
own rights unchallenged in her own
chosen sphere. We will not mention
her name, though she believes in the
magic of printers ink in assuring sue

TuE NEW PosrAL Law IN FoRcr--
ONE CENT POSTAL CARDS The new pos.
tai bill, which became law before the
session closed, makes some changes in
the existing postal regulations, which are
of general interest. The most important
is the authorization OF one cent postal
cards for correspondence or for printed
circulars, similar to those which were iu-
troduced in Great Britain nearly two
years ago, and are now in use in nearly
all European countries. The House pro-
vided in the bill for cards, with paper
flap. to cover and conceal the writing.
The Senate changed this to an open card.
In the conference committee the style OF
the card was left to the discretion OF tho
Postmaster General, who prefers the open
card, and will order that kind only to be
manufactured. The face Oft the card will
bear one cent stamp, and will be pro-
vided with lines for the address, and tho
back will be ruled for the letter. The
price of the card and stamp will be only
one cent. II will propably DO three or
four weeks before they will be ready for
sale, as the plates for printing have yet
to be prepared

and other transient printed matter, which
under the old law was two cents tor ev-

for two ounces or less. Small circulars
