The Postofice Department has APP
proved a design for a new international
2-cent postal card, provided for by the
Universal Postal Union and the recent
act Of Congress. On the upper left cor
ner are the words, Universal Postal
Union, United States of America" in En-
glish and French, the Postal Union re-
curing that such inscription shall be in
the language of the country from which
the card is sent and in French; and on
the right upper corner is the stamp,
consisting of head of liberty, copied
from the gold double eagle, surrounded
by ribbon border, with a monogram
"U. S." at the top and buckle at the
bottom, with the figure % in octagon
blocks on either side. In the upper
half of the circle are the words POSTAL
Card" and in the lower half, "Two
Cents" The card has a neat border
around the edge on the address side.

Discnntnnf i'm Nnrwa1.

A stormy meeting was held in
Christiana, Norway, one day last
month, at which the writer, M.
Bjornstene Bjornson, presided, its
object being to protest against the
union of Norway with Sweden. One
measure proposed was the removal
from the Norwegian flag of the emblem
which signifies the union with Sweden,
SO that it might be a flag "pure and UNI
sullied." Unfortunately, the meeting
was about equally divided upon the pro-
posed measure, and, when NJ. Bjornson
made number of bitter and virulent
attacks on the King of Sweden, some of
his audience applauded and cheered,
and the others Kissed and groaned,
while mob outside created most dis
graceful disturbance.
