comprehend, is the organ. We are willing to
believe there are things we carnot explain,
and this is surely one. Some people, anxious

much appreciation Of her past efforts, and |
too high regard for her irreproachable |

without vigorous protest, and who are out
spoken in their intentions not to see her suf- !

out awaiting further developments, are loud
in their denunCiatons of the young lady, and

answered by the undenable statement that
her assertions are vouched for, not only by
the scholars, but by numerous visitors.
Furthermore, when she must have known tho

being affected by ghostly visitations, and Sc

when her reputation for truth and yeracity Is

Haters OF tobacco are too often prone
to compare the the use of "the weed to
the baneful effects of alcohol. But no
careful observer of the world, who
has seen mankind under different cir
cumstances, will ever harken to an idea
SO absurd and preposterous. While
alcoholic liquors craze a man and drive
him to deeds of violence, causing him to
neglect his business, his friends and the
prior claims of his family, tobacco has
no such effect-its use is followed by no
such dire results as follow in the train
Of intoxicating beverages. The flowing
bowl, while it may drive away one sor-
row, is certain to cause countless others
to arise up like Banquo's ghost to con-
front and worry its unfortunate votares
We have felt like saying word in be-
half of our favorine weed" so much

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE.

The near approach of the day when the
new Postal Act takes effect gives much
importance to the matter of newspaper
postage. The Washington Chronicle may
be regarded as reliable authority on this
subject; hence We copy from its columns
the following:
The law does not and will not, after
June Both, require full prepayment of
postage on ali printed matter. Transient
or miscellaneous matter must be fully
prepaid at the mailing Office Regular
publications, known as newspapers or
periodicals, may be sent to subscribers
now and after the 30th instant, unpaid,
and the postage collected quarterly of
the subscribers Newspaper exchanges
may be paid quarterly, either at the office
of mailing or delivery. The requirement
for full payment on transient printed
matter is statutory, not departmental,
and therefore cannot be Gbrogated by the
Postmaster-General. 1t is made the
duty of all Postmasters to collect all de-
ticient postage at the Office Of delivery,
whether upon letters or printed matter,
more or less of such matter being mad
yerently transmitted in the mails. 1t is
not shown that more is collected at the
Washington office than is legally due, nor
more than at other Offices, in proportion
to the quantity of such matter delivered.
If any statement has been made that no
papers will be sent without prepayment,
then q mistake has been made, for large
numbers are sent daily to subscribers,
as provided by law. One cent will fully
prepay on any daily or weekly published
in this city, but it will not carry two such
papers, nor will it carry the larger New
York weekly or daily papers.
