The New Postal Rates.

1t now transpires that it was the
ignorance of Senator Hamlin, or else
his oficiousness on behalf of the ex-
press companies, which led to the
wrongful increase of postage on
transient newspapers. The law as
reported prescribed l cent for every
two ounces on mail matter of the
third class, which includes all print
ed matter not sent directly from the
office of publication, and all admissi
BILE merchandise up TO four pounds.
Senator Hamlin moved an amend
ment that one cent be charged for
every ounce or fraction thereof, and
stead of two ounces, and led the
Senate to believe by his speech (as
indeed he may have ignorantly be-
lieved himself) that this rate applied
to merchandise alone which is trans
mitted through the mails. 1t was
under this impression that the
amendment was adopted. When it
went to the House in the blind, reck-
less rush of the closing hours, Mr..
Garfield said that the Appropriation
Committee approved of the amend
ment, and the newspaper feature was
not explained there, Notwithstanding
the law expressly includes "transient
newspapers" in the third class. Thus
the precipitate legislation of the
closing hours of Congress is respon-
sible for great and general hard
ship to which neither House would
have consented knowingly.
The effect of the change is to make
newspapers heretofore paying l cent
pay 2 cents; newspapers paying 2
cents now require 8, and so on. This
applies, of course, not to the news
papers sent from the Office of publi-
cation to regular subscribers in bulk,
but newspapers in wrappers sent off
by individuals.

Some newspaper accuses GEN.
TRACY, counsel for defen Sc in the
BEEcHEE case, with being unready
Tor battle during the war. The
Graphic defends him against the in
sinuation, declaring that he has
charged at the-head of his column
on many bloody fields, and after the
battle has often been seen sitting un-
der tree combing the cannon balls
out of his hair. The certificate is
thought to be sufficient.

THE WAY TO Woo.


Don't be in too great hurry
Hurries never pay,
Take..Your time; wary general
Always feels his way.
Do not pull your lines loo quickly
Rather give it pl ny.
Take her sometimes TO concert
Sometimes TO ball
Sometimes spend pleasant evening
Sometimes only call
Sometimes twill be lar the wisesi
Not to go al all
Do not meet your would r-rivals
With i, alOus frown;
Show her thai you don't care twOpence
For any man III town.
Praise her other beauX then surely
She will run them down.
Send her preSents-not too costly,
Trifies light aS air:
/ Dainty fruits to please her palate /;
7 Flowers for her hair
Something that will show you chose it
Fairest for the fair.
Vex her sometimes Constant sunshine
Is so very tame);
Just a little dash Ol water
Brighlens up flamei
Love that dozen't liz and splutter
Isn't worth the name.
Then, at last, some quiet evening
(Moonlight nights are stale),
Drop into her cOZy parlor,
Looking rather pale,
Strive to hide your woe unuttered,
But be sure to fail.
Just hint distant journey
And a secret half confessed,
Darkly speak of hidden sorrow,
That fOrbids you rest;
Whisper that tits hard to leave her,
But perhaps It's best
TheE if she should blush and tremble
With shy surprise
Irthere is no roguish sparkle
Twinkling in her eyes
Then-then tell the old, old story
Told first meath Eden skies.
