It is said that the Berlin post-office is
about to introduce an improvement up
on the original postal card system. A
card is to be provided on which mes
sage may be sent and reply returned at
once, The original sender, by paying
the trifing postage both ways, may
thus secure an answer at once, the per-
son addressed having only to write a
line or SO on the card when he receive
it, and return it to the postman. This
| is a great convenience worth consider
ing in the issue of postal cards in this
country.
| ia Brother Philleo, of the Grand
Rapids Reporter knows how. He

such poisons. --Green Bay Adrocate.
If Bro. T'ilton don't stop exposing
our patent we shall complain Of him
to his uncle Theodore and aunt Nicto-
ria. This thing must be stopped, Bro.

they don't like to be cleaned out.
The Augusta Herald states that
as farmer was crossing the railroad
track near Simon Randall's place, a
freight tran came laundering along,
just as the sleigh was about half way
across the track. The pilot of the
engine passed under the box of the
sleigh, and spilled out the contents
very suddenly and carelessly. The
farmer fell across TIE pilot or cow
catcher, as he called it, and was carried
some distance, when he announced to
the engineer that the wrong man was
riding on the wrong train. The train
was backed, and finding no particular
damage done, except demolishing the
sleigh box, it proceeded on its way.
Shanghai Chandler who of yore
was a Friendship "boy' has been run
ming the last issue Of the Portage Req
ist,r, in the absence of Turner and
Brannan at Madison. The result is
a heap of spice in its columns that will
do morbid mental stomachs good, and
perhaps at the same time give the old
dyspeptics severer twinge than they
are wont to feel in the region of the
intellectual bread basket. Shang puts
his impress upon everything he touches,
and if he would drop the beer mug he
would honor the profession. Shang,
don't be bossed by your old enemy even
for a moment, ever again.
