PAYMENT OF POSTAGE ON NEWSPAPERS AND
PERIODICALS Washington, September 49,
The execution of the provisions OF the act OF
June %, 1874, amendatory of the postal
code of 1872, with respect to the payment o.
postage on newspapers and periodicals occa.
sions considerable perplexity in the minds OF
the postal authorities. The new act in the
matter of this postage, which takes effect on
January 1st, 1875, provides for payment on
newspapers and periodical publications in
bulk by an adhesive stamp, to be'applied IN
Certain manner. The Postmaster General
says that this is about the most difficult pro-
blem of mathematics he has ever had to con-
tend with. To carry out the law, he says it
will be necessary to discover some elementary
combination of sums ranging from two
cents up to $50, so as to convert every posi-
BILE amount between those two extremes, and
yet not have stamp for every sum. Two.
cents would pay for one pound or fraction,
and $50 for ton. Between a pound and
ton, both inclusive, there are 1000 pounds.
and to have stamp for each pound increase
in the weight of matter he thinks would be
an expensive system, and confusing as we'll.
1t would also require double series-one OF
cents and another Of dollars. 10 have the
full series of 100 stamps, representing sums
from one to 100 cents, and 81 to $50. would
stiI, he thinks, be cumbersome system. In
this matter the Postmaster-G eneral is OF the
opinion that in a multitude of counsel there
must be wisdom. The perplexiDg subject is
undergoing various treatments, and it is be-
lieved system Of sufficient simplicity may
be devised to secure accuracy and conve-
nience.- Correspondence of Baltimore Sun.

How TO KEEP orr MOSQUITOES In 1870
mosquitoes made their appearance in Eng.
land, imported, as it is alleged there, from
the United States, and they have now SO
much increased as to have become general
nuisance. A correspondent of the Times
says that they can be kept away at night by
placing a few pieces of the "pale green
leaved pyrethrum about the room. We
presume that the plant here meant is the
pyrethrum parthenum or fever few, which is
common enough in English gardens" -New
York Times.

Railway Massacres.
To the Editor Of the Press:

~ Tue luttOT " We fTeSS.
Since the recent accident on the Eastern
Railroad, considerable comment has been in
dulged in, on the street, upon the assumed dis
proportionate number of fatal accidents on this
road, and upon the management thereof as re-
sponsible, late or soon, for such accidents.
As regards the management of the road and
its relations to disasters, the railroad commits
sioEers of Massachusetts in their last report,
January, 1873, say:
On no railroad in the United States, proba.
bly,, has such vigilance to prevent accidents
been exercised during the past year gs upon the
Eastern Railroad. The best appliances and
modes of constructing rolling stock have been
adopted without regard to expense; a most
thorough system of electric signals to warn all
trains OF their proximity to each other has been
put in use on the more crowded parts of the
line; nothing which suggested itself to their
minds as a precaution against accident has
been neglected by the officials.
This testimony is certainly emphatic upon the
point of management. 1t has never been called
n question.
1t is true that the road is afflicted with '.bad
luck" in spite of m nagement, and does more
than its share of railroad slaughter" On th
point few facts may be stated, relating to sew.
