ABOUT POsgAL CARDS,
Absurd Regulations OF the POST
Office DEPARTING

ADSoAu AhcS NiApohs "a tno 1-OSd~
office Department..
An exchange says there Is an absurd
thing about postal cards that seems
not to be generally known. A good
writer, who gets things down fine. can
put several thousand words GU card,
ard the cost is cent; but if he pastes
a printed slip containing single word
on the card. the expense is six cents,
one paid for the card and the other five
collected from the card receiver; yet if
words are printed on the card ltselfit
Is all right. Ii person pastes a
printed slip on the card, the size of a
postal card, aud puts the card and slip
IN an open envelope. the Government
will carry card. slip aud envelope for a
cent. yet it charges six cents for carry
ing q postal card and slip without. the
envelope! Therefore, if you have occa-
sion to paste printed paragraph on a
postal caid put it in an envelope, and
the additional weight will be carried
four cents cheaper than the card alone
goes. Ii looks ridiculous to carry FIVE.
thousand or more words in an envelope
for cent and then charge six cents
for carrying half dozen words on Or
card without the envelope.

The political situation Is unchanged

uneventful.
A Constantinople correspondent says
that another palace revolution is threat
ened. 1t is difficult to say what would
be the attitude of the Russians in case
of a revolution, but there is great
danger that the Russian and English
troops would come into collision in
such All event. English influence is
believed to be uppermost in the coun-
sells of the Sultan. A majority OF the
Pashas aud all late Ministers are
against the Sultan aud the people are
discontinued. There have been violent
Speeches against the tax on bread,
which Is now at u famine price. The
Pashas are all ready to fly at each
others throats. Osman Pasha is
cursed on all sides by the other Pashas
as fool and traitor.

The correspondence between the two Governments

Will be recollected that the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations made a report. setting forth
the facts of the case and asserting that the award
was exorbitant, and not warranted by any
estimate placed on the value of the inshore

Governments and recommending that the

will not shrink from their duty IN considering and
putting to thus test the Government policy Accord
ingly the debate which will commence next
Monday in tie House of Commons, on
resolutions moved by Lord Harrington, will
be unusually interesting and unusually ly
animated. The opponents of the Goyernment are
looking forward to this discussion with great nope,
not that they expect to crush by numbers the great
majority which is willing to do Lord Beae0nshelfs
bidding in the House of Commons, but with the eG-
pectation that they will be able to inauRurate new
era in the country an era in which the current IL
qsions shall be dispelled and the great masses OF
the people shall see how we have been ana are Dehg

curious commentary the political situation
is to be found in the hesitancy which is displayed
by the party leaders in carrying out their threat of
dssolving Parliament. Before the PlenpOtentiaries
returned from Berlin we heard that there would be
an immediate dissolution, and that on the wave of
his popularity Lord Beaconsfeld would try and
bring back an enhanced majority, which should
keep if not him, at least his party. In Office for
another seven years. The dissolution was to come
at once, but it has not come yet, and-signhcant
fact-Sir William Hart Dyke, one of the Govern
nent whips, went down to the dinner which was
given last Wednesday to Lord Cranbrook nee
Mr.. Claiborne Hardy, at the place whence Mr.. Hardy
takes his title and intimated that the dissolution
would come about soon as the session of
Parliament was over. Next day, however he sent
IOuiu 10 iuo pdpciS ~ cVHtMuHtqnO WulSus ohiO
disclaiming the Interpretation which had been
placed upon his words. yet carefully abstained from
saying that dissolution was or was not to be ex-
pected. The fact u.s. the Government itself is con-
seous that the great popularity which its friends per-
suade themselves it possesses is not quite assured
as they would have 1t believe. They are waiting
for some stronger indication ofthe way in which the
cat jumps, or rather the way in which
it is going to jump, before they start any
Of the music which is to accompany it.
The debate of next week will supply of the
quired information and a week or two further wait
ing will supply more. Should Lord BeacOnsfeld
see the smallest chance of coming back with en-
hanged majority. OF even with one equal
TO that which he has at present no con-
sIdcratons of the shooting or hunting season
will stand in his way but if he does
not his way to making the appeal to the country
within a short time he will have no chance of re-
manning IN power. The increased taxation which is
IN store for will induce many of the waverers to
act with decision, aud it is probable that many of
his noisy followers may pipe to different tune.
An increased taxation of E20, 100000 Is no joke

MOsTAR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AT VIENNA

MOsTAR OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES AT VIENNA.
VIENNA, Tuesday, Aug. 9. 1878.
The Austrian troops entered Mostar, Herzegovina,
at o'clock Monday evening, without opposition,
the inhabitants appearing very friendly.
The Austrian Cabinet is urging strongly the Porte,
in view Of the Bosnian and Herzegovinian difficult
ties, to come Immediately TO clear understanding
about the position the Porte intends to assume.
The ambuscades at Maglaj and Citlak have caused
great indignation here. The opinion is gaining
ground that the Turkish authorities are promoting
the nsuTeetIon, but it is more probable that the
Porte has lost all prestige or power of control, not
only with the inhabitants but with the troops,
many of whom have joined the insurgents, both at
SerajevO and Mostar.

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WASHINGTON, Aug Cat the Cabinet meeting
to-day there was considerable discussion the
reports presented by the Secretary of War. These
had been received at the War Department from the
authorities of the Mexican Government to the effect
that the people in Mexican towns were taking Wig
orous steps to repel any invasion of United States
troops into Mexican territory in the future. There
was some talk favor of preparations on the part
of our Government to counteract any warlike de-
monstrations on the part of the Mexican people
should il be found necessary for our troops TO pur
sue Mexican raiders across the border when they
continued to commit depredations on the Amer
lean side of the frontier. In view Of
the fact that the Mexican authorities had
not asked nor did they expect our Government to
deal with the reports before the Cabinet, IL was
finally decided no action was needed at this time.
Other information before the Cabinet showed that
the people of Mexico were particularly ncensed at
the recent raid of General Mackenzie into Mexico.
