ST. LOUIS, December 2l.-Postmaster
Filley of this city, has addressed Post
mostor General Jewell suggesting Il
change in the present postal law relating
10 publishers matter, to the effect that
newspapers and periodicals be made uni
form in classification and rate and placed
in the second class. He says prospec-
fuses, posters, sample copies, &c., now
rated as third class, at one cent
per ounce or fraction thereof, yield
but little revenue in that classification
and give great annoyance and dlssats-
action to postmastcrs and publishers.
and asks why discrimination should be
made between newspapers and perlodi'
Gals, bills and receipts for subscription
to regular subscribers and from news
dealers, which are now carried ut two
and three cents per pound, and the
same kind of matter, to-Tit, proSpcclus"S,
posters, sample copies, and all matter re-
latng to solicitations and renewal of
subscriptions, sand why they should not
all be classified and rated as second class
matter. The judgment Of postal experts, he
says. is that the results ofthis change, from
increased subscriptions and quality of
matter, yields a revenue equal to the
present classification, and the satislac-
ton to postmasters, publishers and the
public would be equal to the pres
cnt workings of the reduction on second
class matter and the prepayment OF the
same by the publishers. 1t would also
remove all occasion for espionage, delay
and dissatisfaction arising from present
classification, and simplify the work of
both publishers and postOtiiccs.
The case of the Missouri State lottery
will be next heard before the Court of
Appeals, created Dy the new State Con
stitutlon, and not before the Supreme
Court, as previously stated, the judg-
mcnt of custer not being forced until the
case is heard by the Court of Appeals
Whether action will be taken against the
proprietors of the lottery for vending
tickets pending this appeal has not yet
been determined.

THIS is terrible day here. The RAIN
has been pouring down in one steady,
uninterrupted flow since about four
o'clock this morning, and the unpaved

French Assembly.

PARIS, December 2i,-ln the Assem-
bly, to-day, the press bill WAS under de-
bate Nj. Grevy proposed that the press
law and the state of siege be dealt with
in separate bills; that the state of siege
be raised throughout the country, and
the consideration of the press law be
postponed.
NJ. Buffet defended the governments
bill aS it stoo He denied, notwithstand
the result OF the senatorial elections, the
existence OF an opposition minority. The
Ministry would support a conservative
union, both at elections and in the
Chambers He pointed TO the over
throw of the several previous gov
crnm1nts to which the whole conscrva-
tive population freely adhered. The
conservative union would appeal to all
partisans of those governments. He
showed how the BonapartIsts had sup
ported the senatorial Candidates of the
Left, and gained nothing in return, and
asked, viii our alliance afford them less
guarantee? He concluded rs follows;
The Constitution Of the 18th of Feb
ruarv l. not the best Of political wisdom,
but we must admit il is law
If the country requires reorganization
it must return TO the chambers men who
are disposed to pursue, in conjunction
with President Mac Mahon, the policy of
social preservation and give. laid to the
victor of Magenta, who will never be-
come docile instrument of Radical
passions.
NJ LabouIayc objected tha. VI. Buffet
offered the country u Marshal without
republic.
The proposal to legislate separately on
the press law and the state OF siege was
rejected by vote Of 376 TO 5e3. The Bo-
uupurtistS voted with the government.

unconscious muscular action or trickcry,

traced To like causes. Ii a shrewd jug

ulc of naming any one dis
tn ctNe character that may mark
the object concealed. As regards
the wire test, we will say this: That II
connection be made by wire, So arranged
that mass motion can not be communIcat-

10y pure chance, Il gullble public ever
ready by attendance and through patron
age to give responsibility to their per

New York city, in his contests with
Brown aud other mind-readerS,
proved by investigation the fallacy
of the wire test In order to
successfully combat and expose the claims
of the mind-readcr one should be pro
foundly snd practically yerscd in the
workings ofthe nervous system; unless
the investigator possess this knowledge
all evidence is worthless. "W hen the
wand of the expert touches them they
