Postal cards.

It will interest both s~tationera anu
paper makers to know what effect the
introduction of postal cards has had
on the consumption of paper Up to
date there have been about seventy
millions Of these cards made. most OF
which have gone into consumption. A
large number have been used in Gases
where but for their existence no COM
munication ut all would have been
made, and so they cannot be said to
have wholly been used as Il substi, tie
for writing paper. Where their com.
petition has been most felt has been IL,
their extensive use for circulars, IN
which they are specially fitted. HtIe.
however, they have replaced book and
newspaper, as we'll as fine writing. 1t
IS safe to estimate one million postal
cards US equivalent to the same num-
Der Of half sheets OF note PAPER of
medium weight, or say three tons and
one-eighth. This would make the to-
tai product to DATE rs equal to about
two hundred tons III round numbers,
allowing for those which have not re-
placed any other writing materials.
This wonld barely equal the product Of
five mills at HoI, okc Tor five days, and
it is certainly not enough to cause any
alarm. For ourselves, We doubt il
through the competitor of postal
cards the consumption Of fine paper
has been lesscn"d 100 tons, while we
believe it has Indirectly stimulated
the consumption of the latter. Ia this
connection W. may state that the con
sumption oi envelopes has not been
affected by the Introduction of postal
cards, but that the four or five leading
manufacturers arc behind their orders.

It is really no wonder that tho top

mrnt"d upon the dnzzliug fairness of
his wli"s neck, lifted of IL pair of

of ON bellies should consent to the
pnltry deception of wearing false kid
necks, male in Berlin and Paris and
sent. with Il vast amount of mystery, to
the beauty ambitious Of a full round
neck and shoulders, is something that
almost needs to be "seen to be be-
licved." Yet this is done. Let one
fancy meeting n lady ut a ball whose
tullo scarf, dcxtcrously wrapped about
her throat and carelessly thrown back
50 as to form pendant ends over her
back, serves only to soften the gloss
and enhance the symmetry of what
seems to the dazzled observer a superb
pair of shoulders. Fancy discovering
afterwards, perhaps when said lady has
become Il bride, that those shoulders
were but a dream-made of kid! That
Aworse than nightmare, and it would
seem that even a Bayard could hardly

still"
That the desire to have the credit
for having what does not belong to
one should urge to such fragrant de-
ception is astonishing, but still more
SO is the blindness that leads the de-
ceiver to suppose that thin arms, etc.,

qucstionably, the War which the Far
mcrs arc w"ging against the Monopolics
Of all kinds that have for 80 long been
robbing the people and expressing the
toiling portion OF our community.
The work begins with the causes
which have aroused the American peo-
plc against the Monopolists, and treats
Of the railroad system of the country.
it's growth, actual condition and pros
pects. 1t then shows how this noble
system has been perverted to further
the ends Of selfish capitalists and rail-
road directors, who seek gain ut tho
expense of the community and we are
given a terrible and thrilling accountof
the crimes and frauds of the railroad
corporations of to-day. The author
yields a fearless and vigorous pen, and
points out the evils which this selfish
greed has entailed upon us. He shows
how the great corporations have been
able to control the whole country how
they have robbed the nation, and cor.
rupted our Congress, State Legisla.
lures, and Courts Of Justice.
Passing from Monopolists and their
outrages. che author takes up the cause
of the wronged and oppressed farmers,
and gives us a detailed statement of
the evils from which the farming class
is suffering. He Analyses sklllfully the
causes of these evils, and shows how
and by whom the farmers are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work
is devoted to a history of the Order Of
Patrons of Husbandry. A complete
account OF the organization and object
of the order Is given; its laws and
mode of procedure are stated ; and
each feature is explained at length.
It is decidedly the most interesting
and useful volume of the day, and as it
comes at time when the whole coun-
try is suffering intensely from
the effects of the evils it de.
nounces, cannot fail to have a
tremendous sale. 1t is an ably written
work, and q bold and vigorous plea in
behalf of tie farmers and all who are
oppressed and robbed by the grasping
Monopolies which are causing so much
trouble.
The book is sold by subscription
only, and the Publishers want agents in
every county. See advertisement in

Irish manufactures

The Tablet publishes a number of
statistics rs to the manufactures of Ire
land. They clearly prove that, as re-
CARDS motive power or mechanical
force, Ireland is inferior to England
and Scotland in coal alone. It possesses
water power to far greater extent than
either of these countries, and in It's
enormous boys it has an almost mex
haustible supply Of peat fuel Though
Irish railways are not what could be
wished, considerable improvement hos
been effected, as proved by the fact
that the net receipts OF Irish railways
have increased 50 per cent. Magnif
cent steamers ply from most Of the
principal seaport towns. In raw mate.
rails for manufacturing purposes the
island is rich, but in manufactures
to make use OF them singularly
poor. It's mineral wealth is
great, its mines few, and their output
small. In but one province Of Ireland
do manufactures flourish, and that in
spite of the fact that it is poor in raw
materials. We allude to the province
Of Ulster. 1t is strange that in prov
inces for whose supposed benefit MI.
Gladstone's conciliatory acts wc,c
framed: there seems little commerce.:
activity. The part Of the country
which felt most severely the effects Of
his predatory legislation is unchecked
in its prosperity. '"Justice to Ireland"
says Mr.. froude, ':means protection
and encouragement TO the Industrious,
the honest, ana the worthy repression
and punishment of the idle and muffin.
u who prefer to live at their own
wills on the spoils of other mems
labors." These statistics show that Mr..
Gladstone's gift of justice to Ireland
does not agree with the principles laid
down by the Liberal historian.
