Aldershot was recently astOnished to learn that
the wife of Private Brscoe, SD Regiment. had rem
dered that martial parsonage happy (Or otherwisel.
by bestowing upon him family of three children
at birth. We are inclined to think that Private
Briscoe must have felt rather rueful about it, but
soon his soldierly heart was cheered by intelligence
that Her Gracious Majesty had sent him post-oifce
order for f3, being Gt for each baby. With neat
touch of sentiment, there also sent three vio-
lets, one for each child. Poor Private Brscoe, no
doubt would much rather have had E3 more, in
stead of the voets-but then we suppose that be is
a person of no sentiment at all.

A highly important and interesting debate
sprang up, yesterday, in the Postal Car In
quiry. The Senate Committee was addressed
by Mr.. Theodore Cuyler, who appeared in be-
half of the railroad companies, and made a
vigorous plea against the right of Govern
mental interference with the roads. The dis
cussion which followed shows how large a
question has been opened. 1t involves the
limitation of the powers of the General Gov
ernment. The debate seems only just begun.

position to operate freely when the proper time
arrives, but there - no disposition to anticipate
future wants, nor Is there the least Indie alton
OF speculative tendency, 20 that purchases for
the coming season will be based upon a strictly
legitimate consumItiye demand. During the
week there was a considerable improvement in
business with both French and British inn
pcrters. Jobbers' stocks begin TO show more
complete assortments, particularly OF dress
goods, and some OF them have effected fair sales

posed OF silk. wool, cotton, linen or mixtures
and the scarcity and high prices Of labor, fuel
and building materials seem TO indicate a con
