Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENT,
Washington, May 8, 1875.
The treaty concerning the formation of Gen.

1874, between the United States Of America, Ger
man, Austro. Hungary, Belgium, Denmark,
Egypt, Spain, France, Great Britain,
Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway,
the Netherlands, Portugal, Roumania,
RI ssia, servia Sweden, Switzerland and Turkey,
having been duly ratified by the United States
on the Sth OF March, 1875, and the notifications
thereof by the several contracting States having
been duly exchanged at Berne, Switzerland, on
the Sd of May, 1875, it is hereby ordered that the
uniform rates of postage to be levied and col.

and from the whole extent of the Postal Union,
embracing the above named countries, without

PC19"A S"SAAs
D. For newspapers, if not over ounces in

as continuing to form tfs object OF special ar
rangements with the pos, Offices interested) the
minimum rate OF franc per hlogramme Of
letters, and Is centimes per kilogrsmme Of print
ed matter, etc., and is really by increasing the
transit rates, as permitted, to francs and so
confines respectively, to meet the wishes of
those Departments of the Union which make the
same declaration in regard to the United States
transit correspondence.

SM0thered BY a Cat.

Recently cat played the following
prank upon a Syracuse gentleman: The
person had retired to bed, and had lain
there some time, when his wife in the
next room heard a singular noise. She
inferred from the sound that her husband
was sleeping soundly, but the noise
grew more intense, and she concluded to
find out what it might be. She went
into the sleeping apartment, and found
the family cat, with its nose thrust into
her husbands mouth, and its paws
tightly cIasped about his throat. 1t re,
quired considerable exertion to remove
the animal, as it chung tightly to its
position. The gentleman was nearly
suifocated, and but for the timely inter
ference of his wife would have been
killed.

Bearing Reins.

Some people have an idea that it is
more difficult to drive horses without
bearing reins and sharp curbs, especially
in crowded streets, than which nothing
can be more mistaken. l will state my
own experience. l have never allowed
bearing reins to be used on my horses
either in town or country. My present
London coachman, who has been always
used to drive with tight bearing reins,
thought at first he might have some diff
fculty in driving without them and
with plain easy bits, but he soon found
the horses are much easier to guide and
can be pulled up quicker. Their atten-
ton is fixed on their work, and not dis
tracted by pain and the terror Of the
whip.
One of my horses l bought nearly five
years ago, for mere trifie, with the
character of being roarer, jibber and
rearer. The coachman told me that l
should never be able to drive him. The
roaring soon ceased after the bearing
rein was taken away, and by altering the
harness SO as to make it easy, he soon
became perfect animal, and I would
not take any money for him. now
drive him with a young horse that has
only been few times in harness, but by
not having his mouth and temper spoiled
by curbs, sharp bits, and bad driving, he
is perfectly tractable, and they both
obey the slightest touch of the reins. I
am constantly receiving letters from
people who have left off the barbarous,
senseless method of driving, with the
same satisfactory result, many in high
rank among the number. The custom
is rooted in the hard rock of fashion and
ignorance, but when understood, it must
give way to public opinion, good sense
and humanity Let it be done speedily.
