WHAT three cents will do, is we'll
shown in an advertisement in our paper of
to-day, to which the reader is referred.
Those practicing necessary economy are apt
to look upon one, two or three dollars as
large sum. Yet for one or two cents a day
they can secure large amount OF useful
reading all through the year, and the en-
larged mental power, and the hints derived
from such reading, will always bring back,
much more than the cost, directly or indi-
rectly. After our own journal, probably
one cannot make better addition TO his
stock of first-rate information than to secure
the american Agriculturis. ltw

THIRD CLASS MAIL MATTER.-Postmaste
General Jewell is having prepared Lew plan
for postage on third class matter and for the
transmission of merchandise through the mails,
which will be laid before the Senate Committee
on Postoffices. It's main features are these;
The plan proceeds upon the established fact
that merchandise cannot be carried for the
long distances known as the 'long hauls" at
the rates fixed by the law that has just passed
the House except at loss to the government.
1t is therefore proposed to rearrange the CLASH
fcation of third class natter, dividing it into
two classes for the general purposes of trans
portatlon. From the miscellaneous articles
now comprising third class, transient newspa-
pers and periodicals, and the articles not
strictly merchandise, are to be taken and made
Separate class. Upon this class the postage
is to be one cent for every two ounces, ire
spective of distance.
The remaining articles of the third class,
properly denomnated merchandise, are to be
carried according to weight and distance. The
country is tobe divided into circuits of 800 miles
and the postage upon the merchandise is to be
arranged according to a sliding schedule an
additional half cent an ounce being req ured
for each additional 500 mile circuit. Such an
arrangement, it is claimed would enable the
government to carry this class of mail matter
at small profit, while under the present sys-
tenn of uniform rate for all distances the longer
hauls are made at great loss. The only addi-
tioDal expense to the government would be the
tritiing cost OF preparing the circuit classlnca-
tion. The Posi- stmaster General, it is expected,
will earnestly recommend this plan, and it will
receive strong support in both houses. Oppo-
stion is anticipated from seedmen and publish
ers who have made use of the mails for send
ing mercha adise long distances, where the loss
to the government is certain.

A PROPHETIC CoRREsPoNDENT.-In In 1866,
the special correspondent of the London Times.
w. H. Russell, gave utterance to prophecy
which time has since fulfilled almost to the let
ter. He then wrote, "As a mite would in all
probability never have been seen but for the in
vention of cheese, so it may be that there is
some undeveloped creation waiting perdu for the
first piece of gutta percha, which comes down Ito
the sea bottom) to arouse his faculty and fulfil
his functions of life-a gutta percha boring and
eating teredo, which has been waiting for its
meals since the beginning of the world" This
enemy OF submarine cables has already made
his appearance: 1t is a crustacean, less than
quarter of an inch in length, and known as
Linanorid terebrdnS. "One breakfast which he
may take" says DR.. j. FL. Gladstone, ''may
cost more than the breakfast of any luxurious
Roman epcure in ancient times, because he
may destroy whole cable, and it may take a
year to repair the damage which he may do in
a minute. Popular Science Monthly.

WASHINGTON, Feb Z.
A document from the Uuion & Central Pa

of sinking fund for payments to the govern

Mr.. West said he would soon speak on this

to do would be done then.
Mr.. ConkliDg from the judiciary committee
reported with verbal amendments the House
bill providing for the payment of Judgment
rendered by the Court of Alabama Claims.
Mr.. Sargent moved to make the interest on

he would offer it hereafter to some other bill

ARRESTED FOR FoRGERY.-Mrs. Ellen S,
Upper, whose success in raising bees at Des
Moines. Iowa, has made her famous has been
arrested for forgery. She had acquired con-
siderable fortune, but two years ago was sick a
long time in consequence of overwork, fell into
financial embarrassment, and began series of
forgeries, which were at first settled without
exposure, but have finally occasioned her arrest
at the instance of the Monticello bank, which
holds Eve notes received from her, all ostensi.
bly, signed by John Hodgdon of Dubuque, and
three of them apparently endorsed by Platt
Smith, well-known lawyer. The signatures
and endorsements are said to be forgeres. Her
family physician says she has not been respon-
sible for her acts for some time.
Mrs. Tupper was Pr evidence woman, the
doughter of Noah Smith, the Assistant Secre-
tary of the United States Senate. In 1S43, at
the age of 25, she married Allen Tupper at
Portland. His health failed in few years and
the family having become impoverished, moved
to Washington county, Iowa. Mrs. Tuppe-
provided for her children and invalid husband
by teaching school, carrying her baby back and
forth with her on horseback. In 1857 she be-.
gan to raise bees and was extremely success
full. She had edited two bee newspapers, pub
lished book on bees, has lectured frequently
and still found time to give her personal at
tention to her business and manage her own
correspondence. She has four daughters and

TURKEY.
ROuI,lan mia Eefuses in npnv rrrsHuto


LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE Kelet Nele, a journal
of Pesth, publishes the following:
The Sublime Porte on account of his finan-
cial difficulties recently requested Roumania to
pay her customary tribute in advance. The
Roumanian government has sent note in re-
ply declaring that the treaties stipulate that the
tribute is payable only in return for the obga-
ton assumed by Turkey to defend Roumania
from foreign invasion. The Porte having
shown itself incapable of quieting local in
surrecti0n the Roumanian government is con-
vinced that it can no longer rely on Turkey for
protection, therefore the obligation to pay tri-
butte is at an end. Roumania moreover COM
plains that the Porte has concentrated troops
at Widin and sent ships up the Danube under
false pretext; that the threate ming attitade
of Servia rendered such measures necessary
Roumania is consequently compelled to take
measures to protect her frontier. The note
concludes with declaration that Roumania is
an independent state, and will resist every at
tempt to occupy her territory or the march of
troops through it.
