TAKE NOTICE.

Persons are in the habit of mailing
letters directed simply to Chicago.
New York, and Philadelphia, without
putting the State upon it. The ruling
Of the Department is that If let
ter does not have the State upon it, it
shall be advertfxed as unavailable.
Let us give single example as an
explanation of the reason for this.
There are seven post Offices in the U.
S., bearing the name Philadelphia,
and hence. though the letter may be
intended for Philadelphia Pa. and in
ninety mine cases out Of a hundred
this would be correct, vet il is not alb
solutely certain that it is so, and hence
the Department says that the
writer shall be required to do the
very little thing in itself Of defining
the State, else Postnnsters are requil'-
ed to advertise as unavailable. Ifpar-
ties by actual experience knew how
necessary it is to enforce a system Of
doing business in order to secure as
far as possible accuracy, they would
not complain at SO simple a require
ment as adding the State to the adj
dress of n letter.

ments sticking al the present system
Of prosecuting criminals and the
whole Judicial machinery.
Senator Jessup, of Hardin, intro
duced q bill in the Senate, and Mr..
Kaufman, of Henry county, in the
House, which strikes at liquor selling
directly. Both bills provide that the
selling Of beer, wine, whisky, and
other liquors by the glass or dram,
shall be absolutely prohibited, and
that all dram shops and drinking sa-
looms shall be declared nuisances and
treated rs such. Neither bill, how.
ever, will pass either House, and are
introduced merely to obtain an ex-
preston Of this General Assembly on
Prohibition.
Senator Larrabee has also intro.
duced bill in relation to the liquor
traffic, which provides than any per-
son fined for violation Of the liquor
law shall be imprisoned atatH the tine
Is paid. If this is passed 1t will
change the phase of the liquor traffic
materially, for although fines for this
are of frequent occurrence the county
treasury is seldom enriched by the
payment Of them. fla man knows
that by violating the law he will
either have to pay a heavy fine or &c
4 to jail for an indefinite period, he
will be little more cautious 40 least
in his infringement Of the law.
The bill allowing supervisors to
levy a tax Of seven and one-half mills
for road purposes was lost. The Law
at present permits them to levy five
mill tax. It is q very hard matter tt
pass bill through the present Gen
eral Assembly which will permit tn,
levy OF any higher taxes, and there il
u a disposition to create If possible ,

On Tuesday evening, Feb. Isl, APP.
pearcd one of those strange lunar
freaks, occurring occasionally, and in
former times terrifying the supersti-
tious and taking, as Constantine the
sign Of the cross in the heavens, as an
an omen of good. To this day they
are viewed with awe and supersti-
ton.
The writer was in Oskaloosa, on
his way to the depot, when he first
discovered what seemed to be two
lights resembling sun dogs on each
side Of the moon. The moon itself
was in the first quarter, and formed
q beautiful crescent. In Q few mo-
ments more rays of light began
to shoot out from the four sides OF
the moon and formed q perfect Greek
cross, bright and distinct. It requir-
ed no stretch of the imagination to
identify the crosses. There they
stood out against the starry back
ground like pure silver. They re-
manned distinct for nearly three
quarters of an hour. The limb OF
the cross next the moon vanished or
melted away, then the Greek cross
of the moon next, and the Roman
cross faded gradually as the moon
sank below the western horizon.
The first appearance was about II
n. NJ. and continued until IL 80.
The appearance was so unusual
that it attracted the attention Of hun.
dreds-of people, and called out re.
marksffom all classes. No one pres.
eat from tho oldest to the youngest
had ever behdld thu like. Sun dogs
and moon dogs arc Of common occur.
renee; but the formation of these
beautiful crosses has never been 70.
corded since the days Of Constantine
The writer, considering this phenoin.
enon worthy of record, has written
in as brief space as possible the nc,
Of the occurrence, hoping that other
who have seen it may verify and give
views from different parts Of thu
ccnntry,if seen at other places.

SUSAN =. ANTHONY.

This distinguished lady as per an
nouncement, delivered her lecture
woman wants bread, not the ballot"
at the Opera House Tuesday nighttoa
small but delighted audience.
She commenced promptly on time,
and in few moments gave the audi
ence to understand that she was In
tensely in earnest in her theories, and
had full faith in their ultimate tri-
umph. She isa very clear. forcible
speaker and occasionally was posi-
lively eloquent, especially when de-
failing the real or fancied wrongs Of
woman kind. Her ideas in the main,
were logical and were explained in a
manner that left no doubt of her sim
certify. II would have pleased the
male portion of her audience better
perhaps. had she dwelt less in what
might be termed communistic train
Of thought. Also one might infer
that she was greatly in love with the
rag baby. However, taken as whole
il was very interesting lecture, and
one well worthy Of her sex.
She promises to be here sometime
during the coming summer. when
without doubt she will meet larger
audience. tE
