NEW YORK.

New YoRK, July IA Ease involv-
ing the constitutionality of the amended
postage law has been brought in the
United States Circuit Court for this dis
trict. A gentleman offers a book for
mail transmission to Philadelphia from
this city, postage at old rates being
affixed. Being refused, he applies for a
mandamus to compel the postmaster to
receive the package. The arguments Of
the applicant are that sundry civil APP
preparation bills, into which the amend
ment increasing the rate on third class
mail matter was inserted, was not a bill
for raising revenue; that the amendment
did provide ways and means for raising
revenue; hat the Senate has no oonsti-
tutional authority to originate measures
for that purpose, that being the sole pre-
rogatiye of the House; and that the
postal amendment, having originated
with the Senate and grated in a bill
which was not one for revenue purposes,
is unconstitutional. ,
The rife associations of this city have
adopted a programme for the reception
of the American team, which includes a
trip down the bay to meet the steamer

monial will be presented to each mem
Der of the team.

c~essfully conducted.
The Industrial Exhibition Company is the
first to adopt the plan SO long in use by the
European governments Of issuing bonds when
the principal is made secure and not risked,
but where there is a chance for q large pre-
MUM, an investment of $40 is sure to return
to the investor s2l-one dollar more than cost
and the holder Of a $40 Bond may obtain a
premium either OF $50. 800, $500, $500, $1,000,
$4,000, 5000. $4,000, eos. 200 or 800. 1000. The
interest. which is ordinarily distributed to all
the bond-holders pro rata, is in this loan dis
tributed by chance. Tho purchaser Of a bond
knows he will receive back his Investment,
with a small rate Of interest added, and in
consideration Of taking this small rate Of in
terest. he has a chance in the above named
premiums, which are simply the distribution
Of interest on the whole loan.
Each bond participates in four drawings
each year. until it has drawn a premium, when
IL is surrendered, the premium Yaid, and the
bond cancelled.
The Industrial Exhibition Company, under
a special charter, granted by the State of New
York. is given authority to issue these bonds.
The Legislature of the State. recognizing the
great benefits which will arise from the sue
cess of this enterprise. have exempted all the
real estate and property of the Company from
taxation and assessments for five years, and
has also conferred other great privileges.
Every American who understands the pur,
poses Of this Company will. Of a necessity,
feel a pride in aiding it to a successful termi-
nation.
Each individual who buys a bond becomes
an owner and an interested party. and when
he views the structure erected with his money
can say. " l aided to erect in our country the
most magnificent building the world has ever
seen. a palace which, in truth, represents the
industry, energy and mechanical genius Of the
American people,.
The manufacturers and the inventors Of
America are peculiarly interested in the sue
cess Of this enterprise, for the reason that it lie
to be their home, where all their inventions
and manufactures can be exhibited and sold.

NELL s. Brown, JR., the efficient and

EVENING papers are proverbially en-

The wOOIng OF Harold, the Fair.

The beginning of his great adventure

regions, whom the young Harold aspired
to marry. Gyds answered his embassy
and prayer in a distant manner: Her

this proud answer, which rendered Gyda
tenfold more desirable to him.
He vowed TO let his hair grow, never
to cut or even comb it till this feat we're
done, and the peerless Gyda his own.
He proceeded accordingly to conquer,
in fierce battle, q jarl or two every year,

WHILE Bell county is hanging on the
ragged edge of despair in several
Courts, the people in fractional parts of
Henderson, McNairy, Hardeman and
Madison counties held an election under
an enabling act passed by the recent
Legislature, and by a vote of 1880 to 81
declared in favor of Wisdom county.
This cuts into Bell county. There is not
territory enough to spare to make both
counties. The one that fully complies
with the law first, we presume, will be
the county, while the other will revert
back to the counties from which its frac-
tions originally came.

A FEW of DR.. Hammers friends, who
still stand by him since his candle was
snufed out, urge hat he was laboring
under a mental alteration. That may
be so, bat the fact that he took such a
shoot the first time he got right crazy
argues that his mind was bent that way
before. Emotional insanity is often a
thin disguise for criminal purposes.
