THE PRINTING or POSTAL CARpS
The post office agent at Springfield, Mass,
where the postal cards are manufactured,
sends to the Third Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral each day two sheets Of the card board
| used on that day in printing the cards 1t
improves every day, but as yet not single
card has been printed in rs good a condition
and s exact rs laid down in the specifications
when the contract WAS made. The Morgan
Envelope Company, manufacturers Of the
postal cards, have intimated that it is their in
tention to apply to Congress for relief because
Of their loss, sustained, as alleged, by fur
nishing superior order of cardboard, and
by which they lose money at the contract price
for printing postal cards. The Post Office
Department will oppose such step strenuous
ly, because it is unjust to other competitors for
this printing, and it is the fault of the above
company alone in not ascertaining the price
of good cardboard when sending in their bids
for the work.

After short stop in the little city Of Almo,
we steamed away for Stockholm, and passing
through a perfect labyrinth Of verdant islands
arrived there on Sunday morning, June 18th
Stockholm has about $50. 900 inhabitants and
is built partly on the mainland and partly on
seven or eight islands connected by neat and
substantial bridges. The palace Of King Oscar
stands about in the centre, and this and the
many other public buildings, residences, nu-
merous squares, gardens statues, churches &c.
present q very elegant and novel appearance.
Steamboats,, some of extremely dimlnutive size
and other water craft, are constantly NOV
ing in all directions among the islands, and,
during these long pleasant evenings many of
the streets and public gardens are thronged
with people Of all ages listening to bands of
music and partaking of such beverages as
they deem needful or agreeable. They have

valuable treasures of art, and, marvellous to
