A Modified Postage Eli.

The House Committee on POST
offices and Post Roads held a meeting
this morning, at which bill prepara-
by the subcommittee with reference
to the delivery of public documents
through the mails was adopted. The
bill agreed upon in substance author
ICES public documents to be sent free
exchange of newspapers, and the free
delivery of newspapers in the counties
wherein they are published. In dis
tributing public documents, stamp
is provided to be placed in custody Of
an officer of the House, to be attach
ed to every book, pamphlet, and dOcu-
ment sent from either branch of Con-
gress. To prevent the abuse of power
by unauthorized parties, it is also
necessary for the name of the member
sending a document to be appended
to the package. Thecommittee agreed
to report favOrably q bill looking to
free delivery of seeds from the Agri-
cultural Department, and will no
doubt regulate their distribution in a
similar manner to the means provid-
ed for sending public documents.

On Saturday Governor Straw, ac-
companied by Judge Clark, of the
United States District Court, Colonel
A. n. G.. Eastman, Lawrence Oliph-
ant, and F. Ricketts, (the three last
named from England,) visited Rye
for the purpose of selecting suitable
spot for the landing of the new At
lantie cable, soon to be laid between
the western shore of ireland and this
continent. After visiting several
localities, small cove to the south of
Straw's Point was determined upon
as the best place. On Monday Mr..
Ricketts,, who is the engineer OF the
new cable company, and Colonel
Eastman, the contractor, took passage
in the tug Clara Bateman to take
soundings and ascertain the condi-
ton of the bottom. In soundings of
from 3 to II fathoms the bottom was
found to be soft and clear of rocks, and
finely adapted to the contemplated
purpose. 1t is thought the cable will
be ready to be laid by next May.
The job of making it and maintain
ing it for 30 days has been given to
Siemons Brothers, of London and
Berlin, the total price being Gl,2ll,-
600. 1t Is already more than half
done, and the finances of the COM
pany are in good condition.

she said to herself; "but he must see
my face some time IL he is to stay q
" eek.n
Just at that moment the od0r Of 8
segar came floating in the sum-
mer-house door, and before Bessie
could escape, a masculine segar hol-
der followed the Havana She had
started 70 her feet, and the moonlight
shone full upon her face as Alick
Wight sprang forward crying:
Bessie Turner where have you
come from ?n
But the girl drew back from the
rapturous greeting, saying in q eold,
low voice:
"I am Mrs. Haughton's servant
girl, Mr.. Wight"
"Her-ber-her-" stammered the
young man.
"Her servant girl, working in her
kitchen. My father is dead and my
own health prevents my teaching, so
l am earning my living in Mrs.
Haughton's kitchen"
She was so hard and cold that he
looked at her in amaZement but
after moment he saw her face quiv-
ering in the moonlight, and he forgot
everything save that the woman he
loved above all other women was
poor, IN sorrow and in trouble.
"Bessie," he said, and his voice
was full of deep feeling, Twas it kind
to keep all this from me, knowing 1
loved you Is il kind to thrust me
away now, when have come all the
way from California to find you {.
Have you ceased to love me, Bessie
Will you send me back alone, or"
and he opened his arms, will you be
my own, true, little wife, as you gave
me reason to hope long ago ?''
"But, Aliek," she said, 81 am poor,
sick"
"Hush, darling. You are mine,
and I am not poor. You shall grow
well again, my darling, when you
have love and rest. Do not drive
me away, Bessie"
And nesting down in his strong
arms, Bessie gave him the promise
he craved.
The sound of gay voices coming
from the house aroused them.
The whole party were near the
summer-house when a couple came
into the moonlight, and Mrs. Austin
recognized her former guest.
"Why, Miss Turner ~ She cried,
amazed. 81 wrote you a month ago
to come and pay me visit, and you
never replied"
"Bless me-" whispered Mr.. Austin,
''I forgot to post the letter"
"Alick will forgive me now for dis
appointing him." continued his cous-
in. 81 had promised you should be
at my house to welcome him, but 1t
Is all right now, l suppose, Alick ?"
'All right" was the emphatic re-
ply.
And 50 Mrs. Haughton lost her girl
the same day she engaged her.

Mr.. Frye, of Maine, did not wish to
make speech on the Salary bill, and
talked thus pointedly about it:
Mr.. Frye did not want TO make a
speech, but desired to enter a caveat
at this stage of the proceedings. II
the debate continued for two or three
days longer, and one or two hundred
more speeches were made, all of them
in favor OF the repeal Of the Salary
bill, his constituents would certainly
come to the conclusion that it required
an immense amount of powder to
bring him to. He wished to say, not
to the House, but to his far-Otf con-
stituents that he should not make
speech, and that the speeches made
here were not for his conversion, be-
cause he had always been in the
faith, and needed no conversion. He
simply desired his constituents to un-
derstsnd this. Laughter and ap-
piause.

with your story. Enable the public
to recover part, at least, of their sto-
len property. Prove that there are
other men as bad as, II not worse
than, yourself. They have stabbed
you-now stab them. Spare not a

do not know where to publish your
statements, take our columns, and We
will see that you get fair play"

We congratulate the Temperance
world on the success everywhere at
tending the use of VINEGAR BTTTERs.
Certainly no preparation containing
alcohol has accomplished such cures Of
malarious fever, biliousness, dyspepsia,
rheumatism, lung complaints, consti-
patton, and general debility, as we hear
of from all quarters, as tie results OF
this famous vegetable specific. No true
philanthropist will regret to see spirit
uous liquors expelled from medical use,
if they can be safely dispensed with ;
and that they are not necessary in any
case of sickness, whatever its character,
appears at last to have been demon
strated. II public opinion is capable
of making any impression upon the
minds of the Faculty, they will ere long
introduce the most popular of modern
medicines into the hospitals, and pre-
scribe it in their practice. The millions
have given the article fair trial; it has
more than answered their expectations,
and no theoretical opposition can shake
their faith in it.-COn1.
