New PosT OFFICE REGULATToNs.-Th new
postal bill which became law Just before the
session OF Congress closed, makes some
changes IN 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
10 those which were introduced in Great
Britain nearly two years ago and are now in
use in nearly all European countries. The
House provided in the bill for a paper flap to
cover and conceal the writing. The Senate
changed this to an open card. In conference COM
mitee the style OF the card left to the discre
tion of the Postmaster General who prefers the
open card and will order that kind only to be
manufactured The face OF the card will bear
a One-cent stamp, and will be provided with
line for the address, and the back will be ruled
for the letter. The price of the card anc
stamp will be only one cent. It will probabl,
be three or four weeks before they will bt
ready for sale, as the plates for printing have
yet to be prepared. The postage on circulars
newspapers aud other transient printed
matter, which under the old law was two cent
for every four ounces or less, is now one cen
for every Two ounces or less. Small circulars
which formerly cost two cents to mail, can nov
be sent for one cent, an important reduction /,
business men who use the mails largely /,
advertise their business. The change is nov
in force, the Law being immediate in it
effects.

THE EFFECTS OF THE HEAT.-The New
York Herald of Thursday last thus describes
the effects of the heat in that city:
1.-THE principal thoroughfares have become
like field of battle-men falling in every
direction and ambulances in constant requisi-
ton. And the attendant symptoms of such a
death are no less terrible than when contending
armies meet. Often we find raging deirium,
screams as if in intense agony, convulsions that
distort the body like potent poison, aud an
expression on the face that would make the
most hardened turn away; then the final con-
vulsve shudder, and the victim passes the
dark river In other cases the symptoms are
like those that attend death by cold. Natural

THE DELAwAREAN's SURRENDER. Not a
little surprise and dissatisfaction was express
ed by the leading Democratic politicians of
this town on Saturday last on reading the
short leader in the Deldudrean surrendering
the party to Greeley. Not one iu ten of the
prominent partizans of this section, it is claim
ed, will support Greeley under any circum-
stances, and they had relied upon their organ
to reflect their sentiments, as it had been do
ing. But on reading the article of Saturday
they denounced it as vascilating, timid and in
consistent with ITSELF After having steadily
denounced Mr.. Greeley, and even impugned
the motives OF its own partizans in other local
tiles for their course, its patrons here asserted,
after perusal, that it had surpassed Town
send in inconsistency, and given a poorer ex-
cuse therefor. Further, they assert that the
way in which the surrender is worded is dam
aging to the party prospects in the county, and
we have heard strong denunciation from two
or three we might name against Senator Sauls-
bury. its supposed author. The article finds
favor in no garter, here. The Pollies" have
no sympathy with it because they are not in
sympathy with its source the 'straigh outs

DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTIoN.-W of
our readers has not suffered from the
ills and varied forms of this hydra
headed tormcntor, which originates from
loss of tone in the stomach, or more
particularly in it's muscular or tibrous
coating, which becomes pale and feeble?
1t would require pages to describe all
the symptoms and various sympathetic
affections of Indigestion, and the torture
to which the dyspeptic is subjected, but
which may be compressed into one
brief comprehensive sentence: You feel
sick, depressed, and unfit for the duties of
life. Nevertheless, there is nothing
more certain than that dyspepsia, in all
it's phases, can be thoroughly eradicated.
There IS but one way to cure indigestion,
viz: by toning and strengthening the
stomach and general sys TEN, gently relaxing
the bowels if con stpated and regulating the
liver if disordered. remedy for this
human peace destroyer is CALIFORNIA VINE
GAR BITTERs, which have the rare merit of
containing no alcohol, the virtues of the
medicinal California Plants, which consti-
tute their healing and curing agencies
being extracted by Kew chcmical process.
The popular verdict is that they are the
most perfect article for the stomach, and
to be taken as circumstances may require.
with the fullest confidence, and that by their
means can the return of this distressing
malady be prevented. We are satisfied this
remedy is of great Value Com.

The German Exodus.

1T Is a rather curious fact that iust at
this present moment, when the fortunes
OF Germany appear to have reached the
top of the wheel, the number of her
sons who are DESTROYS of leaving her
and of seeking n home in the Far West
is greater than it has ever been at any
former period. The emigration ques.
ton is assuming very serious dimen.
sions for some parts of the Kingdom of
Prussia. but more especially the prov
inces of Pomerania, West Prussia, and
the more northerly districts of Posen.
In most of the villages in the first.
mentioned province many of the peas.
ants houses are either empty or being
pulled down, and the small proprietors
are selling for % per cent. under recent
values in order to realize quickly and
reach the land of promise with the
least possible delay. Little holdings
which only short time ago were
very much in demand are now mere
drug i'll the market, and it is difficult to
find purchasers at any price.
A Pomeranian landowner writes that
his own village, which is only very
small one, had lost thirty of its most
able laborers on the list of April, and
that another village in his neighborhood
had already lost all its inhabitants ex-
cept three families but these intended
to follow the lead in few weeks. The
place would then become "deserted

not at all like that of Goldsmith S
Sweet Auburn as the desertion is

keep his poorer neighbors with him if
he could, for with them his wealth will

1t is easy to obtain ocular demcnstra-
ton of the height of the present emil
grafton fever by paying an evening visit
to the Potsdam and Hamburg railway
station. At the former | have often
seen hundreds of emigrants encamping
on the bare boards, sitting on their lug
gage, surrounded by the wreck of their
household goods, and soothing their
babies, while waiting for the next train
to Bremen, where they will embark for
America. The first Instructed feeling
at such time is one OF pity but it is
certainly very much displaced, as the
emigrants are for the most part ex-
tremely happy in the hopes that have
prompted their steps, and which in
most cases are fulfilled.
Unless some unforeseen circumstances
should check the present westward cur
rent, land must fall in the depopulated
districts. and then perhaps the new
corners, who will have bought cheaply.
may be able to pay the next generation
wages sufficiently attractive to keep ii
at home but in the meantime the
small landed proprietors will have suf-
tered severely. Some, indeed are al,
ready following the example Of their
men and emigrating too.-Bsrli" Letter.
