The Postmaster General has decided that
publishers and news agents have the right to
purchase from postmasters such stamps foz
prepayment of postage on printed matter,
under the new law, as they may desire. This
decision contravenes the impression gener-
ally entertained that these new stamps would
have to be both affixed and cancelled by
agents Of the post Office department, and
could not be sold to anyone. Their sale
will, however, be restricted to news agents
and publishers.

We were yesterday shown photograph
taken on Monday, the 4th inst, Of St Louis
street, from Old Levee to Royal. The picture
il of sufficient size to bring out the figures
we'll. and will giveito the people of the North,
for whom it is intended, far more faithful
and vivid idea Of the situation at the State
House, and the circumstances attendant on
the organization of the Legislature, than
anything in tho way of . description that can
be written.
It shows the soldiers in ranks, with the long
line of stacked guns just in front, and the
sentries, with fixed bayonets. preventing the
passage of the streets by citizens.
The picture is by the well-known photo
grapher, Theo Lilienthal, and it will rank
among the foremost of his many works of
skill and art.

New York's annual record of crime speaks
but indifferently for the morals, police regu.
lations and peacefulness of that city during
the year Of grace 1874, although the number
Of homicides has been reduced by II COM
pared with that of 1873. However, 80 muir
ders, officially reported, ere quite enough for
New York. It is not surprising that the ex-
cess of the past years mortality over that Of
its predecessor should be accounted for in
other ways While there were 1899 coroner's
inquests held in 1874, there were 1855
in 1873, but there were 1874 deaths
by suicide in the former and 16l in
1873. Deaths by accident were reduced q
little, there being 612 in 1874 against 6S5 in
1879. How many Of these accidents would
moro correctly have been termed murders We
cannot tell, but, including the boiler explo-
sions and railway accidents, there would be
far more than the report shows.
There are one or two other interesting facts
IN the document The number of deaths by
infanticide was but one, while the number of
infants found dead in alleys, streets, and
rivers, together with those suffocated. acct
dentally in bed, was 149. There was not a
single death in the city by judicial hanging,
which was . deplorable matter. OF 81. 112
persons arrested in that virtuous city, 81. AGA
were able to read and write, and only 8. lO4
were unable to do SO. There were 1921
laborers arrested, 10, 794 persons without oc-
cupation, and, mark the figure, only 81
thieves There we're more actresses arrested
than professional thieves, according to this
report, and nearly as many actors, as many
teachers, more physicians, four tunes as many
musicians, and nearly three times as many
lawyers. Evidently the police are hopelessly
inert, or else New York is blissful city, when,
With her whole police force and city govern
nent to draw upon, only 81 thieves were ar
ested.

The Baltimore american is responsible
for this story: Mr.. James O., Of Gin
cinnati, who has just arrived at the Grand
Hotel in Paris, called the other day On one
of the principal Partisan embalmers, to
whom he said:I have just come direct from
Cincinnati attracted by your reputation, in
order to be embalmed by you" But, sir,

You will find your fees, some other money
and directions about sending my body

bottle of laudanum from his pocket, and
was only prevented from swallowing the
poison by the quickness Of the embalmer.
The American was taken into custody, and
the authorities have written to his friends.

A good deal Of interest has been shown
here on the scheme for the transportation
home OF the obelisk-One of the sO-called
Cleopatra's Needles-presented to England
forty years AGO BY MOhammed Ali. II is a
fine mOnOlith Of red granite, sixty four
feet in length and seven feet in dame
ter. It's weight has been varicUsly esti-
mated, but the maximum given is two hun
dred AID eigbty-foUr tons. Il now lies
PROSTATE and parallel 10 the sea, at a dis
lance Of twenty-fOUr feet, on a sandy bank
fifteen feet high, with nothing between it
and the water save a ruined sea wall.
The hieroelyphics are in good preser-
walton, and record that tie
obelisk was erected at On (HeliopC-
lis, near CairOl, by ThOthmes ii, about
1900 B. C., during whose reign Egypt is
recOrued to have "plaCed its frontier where
it pleased" The lateral inscriptions record
the name and titles of Ramesis III, (znown
to the Greeks under the name Of SesOstris),
and relate how he had conquered all the
Nations Of the world. II is worthy OF
note, too, that the Isralites were in
Egypt at the time Of the cOustTuc.
ton Of this monument. Il is said
to have been brought to Alexandra in the
beginning of the Christian era. VariOu;
schemes have been suggested for the re
mOval of the stone, but the most feasible
| seems to be the construction Of a lefty o
deep water, so as to convey it along an in
clined plane Of beams to a raft, on which i
might be secured and tOWed to England iI

The water Invading the Business
streets.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 1.-The water from
the river Is invading the cellars on Broad
way, Sycamore, Main, Walnut and Vine
streets, the depth varying from few inches
TO four or FIVE feet. Nearly all the cellars on.
the streets mentioned, up as far as Second
street, are flooded, the water reaching
them through sewers. The greatest dam
ace is reported on Vine street where the
water was not expected to reach. In Mill
creek valley the food has taken away
portion of the fill of the Dayton Short Line
road, but trains are still running regularly.
At the lower portion Of Sixth street and
near the mouth Of Mill creek, a number of
houses have from two to four feet water in
the first floors. The water is also flowing
into the bed of old White creek canal, now
occupied by the c. I. and l. railroad track,
and their Plum street depot has several
inches water on the, floor. The river at 6
O'Clock had 529a feet Of water in the chan
mel and still rising. 1t is thought the
highest point will be reached tomorrow.

that Lake City had lost its calendar and
