. Mrs. Lucy II. Hooper, in letter from
Paris to the Evening Telegram of Phila-
delphia, thus describes the turore which
Nile. Bernhardt has created in Paris:
lit is impossible to describe the I'M
mense, the frenzied enthusiasm excited
by the wonderful acting OF Sarah Bern
hardt as 'Posthumia.' In this briet role
she appears in the last two acts only
she has achieved a triumph that mas al
ready won for her the coveted title OF
the successor to Rachel. She was at
once sublime and pathetic. The play
Itself is stupid; it is. founded on obsolete
superstitions, and the doom OF the err
ing " estaP is wholly repugnant TO all
the sympathies of modern audience.
Moreover, the idea of tile giant power OF
Rome being overthrown because OF the
seduction oil young girl, and restored
by the dreadful doom of the offender,
appears to the common-sense view OF
the nineteenth century at once absurd
and revolving. But Sarah Bernhardt
has done for the tragedy Of NJ. Parodl
what Rachel accomplished for Racine
and Corneiile; she has galvanized the
dead, heavy, iileless form into glowing
life by the electric fire OF her magnlti-
cent genius"

The way the postal card has won Its
place in popular favor, until it is fully
recognized as one OF the regular and es.
Bential methods of correspondence, is
another evidence OF the fact, that the
cheaper communication is made, the
more the public are inclined to use the
facilities. All manner Of objection was
made to the postal card when 1t was
first issued. Some held that the Gov
ernment could not make it pay. because
of the small profit on it, and because in
so many instances postal card, costing
only oue,cent, would be substituted for
a letter, thus causing to the Govern
ment loss OF the difference.
The result has, however, surprised d
even the warmest advocates of cheap
postage. Ihe issue tor the past month
reached the enormous figures ettwentv-
three million one hundred and sixteen
thousand, being an increase of two mill
ion nine hundred and ninety-seven thou
sand five hundred, or nearly 10 per, cent.
over the issue for the corresponding Pc
Tiod OF last year. And, what is mostsur-
prising of all, the increase in the sale OF
stamps and in the number of letters car
Yied has gone OIL in about the same ratio
that would have been expected if the
postal card had not been adopted. From
this it appears that the postal card does
not, as rule, take the place Of letter
1t is sent generally in cases where, were
it not Tor this simple and cheap method,
NO communication would be resorted to.
II it sometimes takes the place of a
letter, it just as frequently commences a
correspondence which leads to let.
ters afterwards, and thus gives back
as much, II not more, than il
takes away. The lesson in all this is
that the people appreciate and will pat
rouize methods of communication the
more literally just as the cost is made
lighter and the facilitis better.
This has been the conclusion of al
who have closely observed the workings
OF the postal systems OF this and other
countries, and all ad vances founded on
the result of these observations have
had 10 contend with the same opposi.

CHICAGO has in all matters a peculiar
Chicago way of doing things. Its course
towards Judge McAllister, who presid-
ed at the trial of Sullivan, charged with
murder, is no exception. A hue and
cry ali over the city is raised against
him, and petition has been signed by a
large number OF people asking him to re-
sign.
There is nothing in all this that shows
as badly against Judge McAlIister as
against the people of Chicago. II he is
utterly incompetent now he was SO when
elected, and they are TO blame for Sc.
Iecting such man, aud must take the
consequences.
If he is corrupt the redress is in i'm
peaehment and removal from office by
due course of law. In no case is the at.
tempt of Board of Trade to pass upon
a judicial ruling justifable. There are
many matters entering into the trial OF
o cause which can not be understood by
any one not present, much less
are a set of men, both unlearned in the
principles of law, and ignorant of all the
facts in the case, able to pass judgmen
upon the correctness Of judicial decis
ion.
Judge McA.lister may have greatly
erred in his rulings, or may be very
corrGpt man, but the Chicago people
have not taken the right course to con
vince the outside world OF the tact.
