POSTAL CARDS.

FeculiaritIes of the Postal System.
The following dispatch is interesting
to those using postal cards:
The PostolIice Department received a
letter to day from a firm in Chicago com
planning that six cents additional post
age was charged them on a postal card
sent to their address, on the face of
which, in the lower left hand corner,
we're written the words, September Is,
1875 AS many complaints of this
character are received at the Depart
ment the following reply.t1 the above
letter is furnished for the information Of
the public:
"GRNTLEMEN-In answer to your letter
of the 18th instant l have to state that
by ruling of this Department anything
whatever, except an address written or
printed upon the side Of postal card
intended for the address, renders such
card unmailable, and the same cannot
be legally forwarded unless prepaid at
the letter rate-three cents. But if by
inadvertenee it reaches its destination
without such prepayment, it is charge
able with the. double letter rates under
the provisions of section l52 Postal
Laws, edition of 1873,
I'm accordance with the said ruling
the card submitted was subject to the
letter postage by the writing of date on
the side designed for the address, and
having been forwarded without the pre-
payment of said postage it became liable
to double the. letter rates-six cents. In
collecting the above, however, the post
master at Chicago should have deducted
the one cent originally paid Tor the
card"

already written, 1T is unfortunate that
Washington is so easily led" This is
nearly the language of Lee and Reed a
year before. They had all mistaken for
want of decision the self distrust which
arose from a consciousness of inexperi-
ence.. 1t was not long before De Kalb' s
opinion was still further modified. He
must be very modest man. q He

A German General on Warrington.

Professor G. W. Greene, in the Octo.
ber Atlantic, gives these curious utter
aHces OF General De Kalb, when serving
under Washington;
He is the most amisble, kind.hearted
and upright Of men; but as a general he
is too indolent, too slow, and far too weak
besides, he has tinge OF vanity in bis
composition, and over-estimates himself.
In my opinion, whatever success he may
have will be owing to good luck and to
the blunders of his adverssPies, rather
than TO his abilities. / may even say
that he does not know how to improve
upon the grossest blunderS of the enemy.
He has not yet overcome his old preju-
dices against the French. This Ian
guage sounds strangely as applied to
Washington; yet it is historically impor-
tant to know that it was actually used
though at the time of4he Conway cabal
when Washington's enemies were bold
and loud. But there is no reason to sup
pose that DeKalb was Ia any way con
nected with that infamous. intrigue.
a few weeks later his opinion is ma
terially modified. He is the bravesi
aud truest Of men" he writes, has the
hest intention and a sound Judgment.

! plish substantial results If he would

The process of catching porgies, car.

A letter from Cologne gives an ac-
count of une cloche qui boude. The
sulky bell is the one which Master
Hamm was ordered to cast after the war
for the cathedral of Cologne. 1t was to
be called the Emperor's bell, and the
military authorities made over to the
founder twenty-five bronze guns cap
tured from the French. Some of these
pieces we're taken in the seventeenth
century, and were selected so that the
bronze which had probably served to
ravage the Palatnate should be forced
to celebrate the power and glory of the
4, German Empire. To such length, I"
observes French writer, can our cou-
querors carry their secular hatred and
malice" Master Hamm flung no less
than fifty thousand pounds of bronze
into the furnace, bnt for want of proper
precaution the mould was broken. A
second attempt succeeded better, but
still the bell was very defective, and it
had false sound A third effort was
made, and this time the bell was properly
cast, and was accepted by the experts.
There is long description how this
monster was raised to its present posi-
ton, and of the inscriptions it bears:
One II am called the Emperor's bell,
and sound his praise. | am placed in
holy tower, and demand peace for the
German Empire and force to defend
itself. May God grant bothl" On the

tons set the pondeTons pass in motion,
but alas it uttered no sound; the tongue
moved, but did not strike the bell. Sew
eral new attempts have been made,
and upon one occasion only has a
sound bUen elcited-"a sound deep and
! low like q sigh Or a groan," The good
souls Of Cologne are apparently con-
vinced that the bell will remain mute
until Germany has ceased to psrseelte
the Church, and good souls here that
even French bronze is so patriotic that
il refuses to ring out the praises of the
German Emperor and peal over the

Remarkable Drscovery.

ported from the astronomical observa.

ment several years ago at Pamlateska.
the highest point, with one exception, on
the Himahyan range. For several
months peculiar bright spot had been
discovered, shining from the extreme
edge of the moons disk, at a point where
no mountain breaks the continuity of its
perimeter. This light suddenly disap-
peared and remained invisible ior nearly
twelve months. 1t has lately reappeared
in greater brilliancy than ever, and the
immense power of the telescope attached
to the above observatory, so well-known
in the scientific world, has developed the
fact that the light proceeds from some
huge FURNISHED substance, acting as a
mirror, which must be at least one hun
dred feet in diameter The most aston.
ishing thing in the matter is the almost
complete proof that this is actually a
mirror of artificial construction, and the
theory Of the savans at Pamlateska is
that it is erected for observations of a
scientific character, principally to OBJ
serve the phase Of the earth surface.
1t is we'll known that the immense
hight Of that portion Of the moon which
is turned. toward the earth, not only
through the we'll known laws Of gravita-
ton, keeps that portion Of her surfaces
presented toward us, but also renders it
uninhabitable 1t is supposed that an
atmosphere suitable for animal lite, and
that intelligent beings, observing the
halo of light shed around its horizon by
reflection from the earth, may have taken
this means to ascertain the cause. Some
ingenious device to place misror at a
hight where animal life could not be sus-
tanned was the result. 1t is hoped this
discovery may lead to others in regard

How the Cathedral OF NOtre Dame

The Abbie Richie, in book just pub.

the Cathedral Of Notre Dame was saved
from destruction. On the 25th of Nav

tial with the painful task of preparing
for death the insurgents ordered to be
shot. Among them was a young work

was so overcome that he fell to the
ground. He then struck his head with
his hand and exclaimed, All, | knew
that it would bring me i'll luck" Sur
prised at that remark, made with an air
of poignant sincerity the abbe begged
him to relieve his mind by stating what
he knew. Thema hestated few min
utes and then said, " l will confess all to
you, but make haste; in an hour it will
be too late. Yesterday evening | my
