Ek's LETTERs.-In recent lecture on
g Early Chicago" the Hon. john W eRt-ei
worth told the following:
Soon after my frst election to Congress,
a young man who had rendered me ma
terial service made me call, and OBJ
served that postage was very high in
which sentiment l concurred, and prom
ised to labor to reduce it. He then re-
marked that I would have the franking
privilege to which | assented, and prom
ised to labor to abolish it. But all this
did not seem to interest the young man,
and | was perplexed to know the drift. of
his conversation. Finally, with great
embarrassment, he observed that he was
engaged to y young lady at the East, and
wanted to know if / could not frank his
letter. / explained that there was but
one way to avoid the responsibilities of
the law, and that was for him TO write his
letters to me, and then / would write a
letter to her, calling her attention to his ;
and she could have the same privilege.
The CORE pondence took this form until
the Congressman from her district asked
me if, at the close of the season., / was
going home by the way of his district.
did not comprehend him until he stated
that he was well acquainted in the family
Of the lady with whom / had been corre-
spending, and suggested that, if was go-
/ ing to be married before the next sestion,
it would be pleasant for us to board at
the same honse This put new phase
upon my way of lodging an abuse Of the
franking privilege, and l wrote to my
constituent that he must bring his court
ship 10 close, and ne did so. Four let
ters from him and three from her covered
the transaction, and / stand indebted tc
! this day to the conscience fund" Of the
Postoffice Department for S1,75. But
this was very insignificant sum to pay
for the securing Of II good Yankee girl tc
the West is those days. Besides, there
| are seven in the family now, and one
went to the war; and that SI.75 was al
insignificant bounty to pay for soldier

THAT Norwich man who courted his
wife fifty years before he married her
was a prudent fellow. Fifty years takes
the strength out Of most any arm, and
makes it inconvenient for woman to
get down on her knees to urge the head
OF the house to come out from under the
bed and talk the matter over.

RELIGIOUS ToLERANCE.-An effort
has just been made in the Spanish As
sembly to amend the Constitution so as
to prohibit all public worship, save that
of one church, which should be recog-
nized as that of the State. An over
whelming majority of more than two
to one against the measure, and that,
too, in the most intolerant country of
Europe, is a very encouraging sign Of
progress in the right direction. There
may be still some prosecutions; indi-
vidusls will insult and mob Christians,
but the Governments Of all Europe per-
nit entire freedom of worship.

Tho New Playing Cards.

A new style of playing cards has been in
trOduced which promises to become popu.
lar. The new cards are circular, about
three inches in diameter, and each suit is
printed in q different color. Upon the ex-
treme edge of the circle the number of the
card is printed in figures in the same color
as the suit in which the card belongs. The
face cards, instead OF being "single or
double heads" have five heads, all recog-
nized at q glance. The advantages claimed
for these cards are that, being circular, the
edges will not wear out. The distinct color
of each suit and the figures upon tho mar.
gin enable the player to guard against mis-
takes and play more rapidly. The player
can see and know at glance every card in
his hand. They can be shuff1ed, dealt and
played with the greatest ease, and each
pack being in box, they can be carried in
the pocket without soiling.

The market opened under the influence
of disc0uraging kilograms, Liverpool being
reported dull at further decline of 1-l6d,
with sales of only 5000 bales and arrivals
l-32d lower, and New York weak at pre-
vious rates for spots and l 80 1880 down
for futures; but, on the ether hand, sterling
exchange ruled 10 higher, equal to about
2-lO " cent. Under the circumstances the
movement exhibited little animation, and
the sales during the morning were confined
to 1900 bales, after which buyers came for
ward with rather more spirit, but without
evincing much eagerness, and took $3.50
bales, making total tor the day, as noted
above, of $3.50 bales. Prices exhibited
rather more irregularity, but ON the whole
maintained their position sufficiently to re.
quire no change in quotations.. The supply
was ample. with a fair proportion of the
better qualities in the offerings.
The Exchange makes the amount on ship
board not cleared (before to-day's expOrts)
126,279 bales, embracing 56,9i8 for Liver
pool, q ,040 for Havre, 26, 25l tor the North

1922 for the Mediterranean, and 1907
for coastwise ports, leaving in presses.
agreeably to its account at II NJ, 49,, 007
bales. If we deduct from this the amount
sold, but not yet delivered, the balance
will be about 1874, 900 bales to represent

is withheld from the market, in transit or
not yet sampled.
