Third Assistant Postmaster.Gener-
al Hazen has completed the estimate of
appropriations required for his Office
during the next fiscal year. They ag-
gregate 1905, 900, against 81, 100000
appropriated for the present fiscal year,
being a decrease of S246, 900, although
there will be an estimated increase of
ten per cent. in the issue of adhesive
stamps, twelve per cent. in the issue Of
envelopes, and twenty per cent in the
issue of postal cards. This favorable
showing has been rendered possible by
advantageous contracts for the manu-
facture of postage stamps and postal
cards. The principal items of the es>
Inmates are $95, 900 for stamps, $17O,-
900 for postal cards, and $547 900 for
stamped envelopes. These estimates,
with those for the other branches of the
department already published, make
total of $50, 427, III, ,as the amount re-
Quired to defray all expenses OF the pos
tai service during the next fiscal year.
OF this amount the department esti-
mates it can provide from its own rev.
enues the sum of$29, ,O36, ,OOS.ss. This
latter amount will come from the fol-
lowing sources Ordinary revenue

postage, 81, ,O36 900, leaving deficiency

general Treasury of $7,S9S, ,672,73. II

A NObby NabOb.

From the London Daily Telegraph.
A telegram from Calcutta announces
the sudden death of Sir Jung Bahadoor
in the Terai on the 25th ult. Whether
the famous Nepaulese minister sue
cumbed to the fever of his native forests,
or persisted in combat with the tigers
which haunt it, or in what other way
Kunwar Kanaji departed this life, is not
yet announced. Certain it is that in him
a great administrator and soldier has
passed away, and there may yet be Sc
rious events following upon his demise.
Sir Jung will certainly have the regrets
of his royal highness the Prince of Wales
whom he entertained SO magnificently
with the Inequalities of the
forest in the early part of
1875. One of the most striking of all
the wonderful scenes in the Indian tour
of the prince was his reception at Ban
bassa when the. Nepaulese knight did
the honors Of Nepaul. The figure which
Sir Jung presented on that occasion was
we'll sketched rs follows " No gnome
king in agorgeous pantomime ever sllone
in the midst of electric magnesium light
and blue fire half so splendidly as the
Nepaulese minister. His skull cap, par

preston. But even her stout little soul
was dismayed when the ghost held up the
looking glass, and Macbeth's line of "And
still another that bears glass, which
shows ME many more," was followed by a
noise and shutting of feet and several men
arose as of common impulse, and one of
them shouted to her: "Not nauay more
tonight, Charlotte; not many more, in
fact-therc are nine of us here already"
She finished the part as coolly as if no
such trying allusion to her feelings had
been thus publicly made, and at the fall
of the curtain the deposed husbands gave
three rousing cheers for her splendid act
ing of the rough Scottish hero.
1 have omitted to mention the assertion
that in very early life she was Sister of
Charity, but finding the confinement irk-
some, and the life too restricted for one
of her broad and comprehensive views,
she tore off her veil, and she was next
seen jumping through the hoops on the
back of one of the tieetest steeds in is
circus. -.....-.

triple row of emeralds, rubies, and dia-
monds, with pendants of the same. From
the aigrette representing the sun, above
which is an enormous ruby, rises the
double eyed peacock feather. These two

Celestial empire. The peacock's feather,

lined with the softest and finest fur, is
embroidered exquisitely, and set with
pearls, and over his breast he wears the
ribands of the Bath and of the Star of
India" For not only was Jung BAHIA
door Grand Cross of the Indian Order OF
Chivalry, but G.. G. B. besides these
high distinctions being the reward for
the good services rendered during the
mutiny, when Ghoorka division moved
opportunity to Lucknow. And yet so
little is known of Nepaul that many per-
sons styled and believed Sir Jung the
king OF the unmapped and mysterious
land OF mists and rain. In truth he was
only the prime minister or chief of the
bazardar, and one Dhiraj Soorendra Blk
ram is the titular sovereign; but the actu-
al ruler has long since been Sir Jung the
splendid, and there will be emotion,
and it may be confusion, at Khatmandoo
upon his untimely disease. How this
Nepaulese Bismarck rose to power is n
extraordinary story, and one very charac-
teristic of the wild policies of the Ghoor-
ka kingdom. Whatever, nevertheless,
had been his earl y deeds, he had seen US
at home, for he visited England in 1851,
and was thenceforward the fast ally of
the British government. It will be for
tunate if we retain as good friend in his
successor, for we want a right of way
through Nepaul to Thibet, and the
Ghoorkas are always people who need a
tight hand to keep them in order.
