When the Postmaster General

We were not indis posed to rejoice

told that our communication must
be written on an open card, the
observed of all observers. Ii did
not require con;urer TO tell US
that haif-penny postal cards would
be liable to scandalous abuse. and
that the new method of conveying
messages would be a means for
disseminating abominable libels.
We ventured to point this out at
the commencement. and our words

From that day to this We have

pertinent shop girls in the Bur-
lington arcade have gratuitousIy
insulted ladies of title; and irfit-
able gentlemen, like Mr.. John
Hampden, with 'sfad" concerning
the rotuudity Of the earth, have
used postal cards for the worst
purposes. Every miserable little
tradesman who owes grudge, and
every scoundrel who dare not say
openly what he thinks, flies to the
half-penny postal-card to crafty
q meao feel ng of paltry revenge.
Postcards having been tried, there
fore for some considerable time,
and having been proved to be OK

comes a question for the Postmas-

will retain them as an authorized
means of communication. For
private purposes they are useless.

The Boston Journal OF Saturday
Wye: Among the points burned
over by the confagration OF the
9th and 10th was the famous Grif-
fn's Liverpool Wharf, on Broad

memorable 10th OF December. IT'S,
lay the ship Dartmouth, Captain
Hall; the Eleanor, Captain Bruce.
and tbs Beaver, Captain Coffin.
Their cargo consisted, among other
articles, Of 342 chests Of tea, upon
which the British Government had
placed . tax mcst obnoxious to the
Americans. All but the tea had
been discharged, but this the Cap

been held about the matter. On
the 18th of December an energetic

THE GENEvAAwARD

It is an important and somewhat
difficult matter to distribute the
3I5, 100000 (which, by the award
of the Geneva Tribunal, the Brit
ish Government is to hand over to
our Government within the next
nine months among the sufferers
BY the Anglo Confederate cruisers.
There must be some kind of . court
to hear and determine the claims
on the fund, and General Butler
has introduced in the House a bill
creating such tribunal, but the de.
tails Of 1t are unknown. Very
many Of the claims, perhaps
amounting to the largest share Of
the money, are held by insurance
companys, who, during the re-
belli0n, charged war risks upon all
vessels. and hence made very large
profits in spite Of their Occasional
losses. There is strong feeling
that they ought to be excluded
from all benefits from the award,
and it is said that General Buffers
bill lie intended to do this. As
soon as the cruisers w9le known
to bs afloat, the insurance compa-
mics estimated the risk SO as to
cover oil losses and . profit besides,
and compelled the owners OF ships
and cargoes 10 pay it. 70 them %

Obituary-The Late Gorilla of Bar
NUNS.

NUNS.
The deceased gorilla was . young
man of exemplary habits, and by
his versatile industry supported an
aged father and mother in Jersey
City, who can hardly bear their
present loss. His original name
was Briggs, and he was OF Yankee
not Celtic origin, as has been err
roncously stated. Mr.. Barnum be-
came acquainted with young Briggs
many years ago, and, keen observe
of human nature that he is, he soon
saw that the boy possess d talents
which would, if rightly applied,
bring him into public notice. Mr..
Barnum FIRST employed Briggs as
. mermaid, but his nervous san.
guine temperament united him
for the wearing q zig aud Goldfish
skin, and he Was shortly after pro-
noted to the position Of wild man.
In this he achieved no success, and
it was not until Barnum put his
travelling show on the road, in 1870,
and gave Briggs the position oil
gorilla, that he developed those &C.
centricities that have made him ia
NOUS. For two years no better
specimen OF the gorilla tribe has
been seen on this continent.
Though naturally convivial and
social in his tastes, he has sat in
his cage, an object of wonder and
admiration to thousands, and sub
mitted to being stirred up with 6
