A postal regulation which has been
in force for several months appears to
be very little known among the bust
ness men, to whom it Is of some pecu-
MARY interest. Under its operation an
unreceipted bill or Statement of ac-
count can now be mailed in an un-
sealed envelope at q postage of one
cent" To receipt . bill or to write
upon 1t any such words as "please re-
mit," will however subject it to letter
rates Of postage; but q request for re-
mittance may be printed as a part Of
the heading. Newspaper publishers
have the right to inclose with their
papers either receipted or unreceipted
bills but the addition of any written
request will be treated as an infringe
ment Of the law.

The telegraph reported about a weel

The telegraph reported about week
ago that the Governor of Maine, and
the council, constituting q returning
board, intended to count out the Gov
ernOr and Legislature chosen by the
people ut the late election, and give
certificates to the defeated Democratic
candidate for Governor and enough Of
the defeated Democratic candidates
for the Legislature. to put the govern
ment of the State entirely into the
hands Of the Democratic party. Later
reports seem to point to the existence
Of such conspiracy, although it is to
be hoped that such rascally operation
will come to naught.

AT the recent election in Harper
county, 2.5S9 votes were cast-abOut
three times ~ many As there are voters
in the county. The Commissioners
unanimously refused to canvass such
q vote. as they could not do it without
becoming liable under the law to Sc
we're penalty. This leaves the county
seat Mt Anthony for an indefinite peri
cd, until the case can be carried through
the courts, certainly for a couple of
years, and practically settles the ques-
ton permanently. The old officers
will hold over until the next general
election.

Der LIST, show an increase in the wheat
crop Of o6.OtO,OOO bushels over last

Of very large yield in all the States
bordering on the OHIO and Missouri

show but little variation from last
year. Kansas and California both
decline in yield. Texas, of ali the
Southern States. is the only one that
falls off i'm yield this year.

Reunited Brothers.

One of the frequent minor romances-
domestic and otherwise-peculiar to a
new settlement with population of adj
veriturers, was the meeting of two long
alienated brothers in Leadville, the other
day. The Chronicle of that place relates
the circumstances as follows:
Scan you write your nameP Pr said Mr..
James L. Hull, the extensive coal-burner,
out ON the Tennessee Park Road, to one
of his workmen to whom he was about
to pay months wages. The workman
was noticed to twitch nervously, and try
to keep something from coming up in his
throat, as he replied that he "might
after fashion.
"Put it there; l always take receipts, >
added Mr.. Hull, pointing to where the
workman was to try and write his name.
The man took the pen, and after scan
ming the receipt with business air,
dashed off the name of Daniel +. Hull.
The coal-burner looked first at the plain,
bold signature, and then into the face OF
the signer. There was twinkle in the
laborer's eye that told of the long-sup-
pressed recognition. The two men were
brothers, estranged years ago. The
elder, OF James + !, well known in Lead
vile, came to Colorado in 1860. The
brother came five weeks ago, sought for
and obtained work knowingly of his own
brother, who recognized him last even
ing for the first time.
