The use of the new postal cards will be an
event in social and business life in this country,
but its especial usefulness will be found in
those cities where letter boxes are found on most
of the corners, and carriers bring the letters to
every door. In such cities it is more than prob
able that phase Of correspondence will ensue
entirely new in this country and leading to
other important changes in the postal system
But in smaller towns with but single place
for the reception and delivery of letters, the
cards will probably be nine day S wonder only.

STREET Railroads.&c.. NJ. Emile Lamm
has invented in New Orleans what he entities
the "Amonnia and Thermo Specific Propelling
Company of America The method of the
operation of this power, when attached to the
street passenger cars, is as follows: The
tank on the truck OF car which is to contain the
motive power is filed with about three hun
dred gallons Of water; this same water Is Feat
ed at the depot at the beginning of each trip
BY being conuected for four minutes to the
steam boiler. In this manner enough heat Is
forced into the water of the tank to enable the
car to travel nine miles and have surplus OF
power left at the end of each trip" Mr.
Lamm claims superiority for his progress over
horse power in convenience, ecouomy aud every
other particular. He explains why inthe pine
miles the heat does not materially diminish,
nor the requisite pressure fail. though the load
on the car drawn amount to four tons.

exists in Decatur, ILL.,, in the shape Of a
dog that never barked in his life, but in
stead Of indulging in the voca! exercise COM
mon to the canine family, each morning i'm
itates the growing of a rooster. His owner
accounts for this strange popularity by sta
ting that the dog was born and bred in the
country, and from earliest puphood was
separated from all other ours, enjoying only
the companionship Of barnyard fowls
Hearing no other sounds SO frequently as
the growing of the cocks, and doubtless new
er knowing that his species enjoyed the sole
ownership Of another and different sort Of
music, lie began to initiate the matitutinal
exercises of his feathered companions, in
which he has at last acquired proficiency
