SOMETHING NEW IN THE
POSTAL LINE.

A step in the right direction has
been taken, if the following, from
the Carson Appeal, is true:
The Postmaster General is author
lied to offer to the public the double
postal card, the double envelope and
the envelope sheet. The two former
are intended to provide tor sending
an answer to message or letter upon
the same card or under the same en-
velope. The double postal card will
be of the same size as at present,
but with two stamps, and on each
upper corner, and will, of course, be
sold for two cents. The stamp on
the right hand corner is cancelled
when the card goes through the mail
for the first time, and the other on its
return. The original sender writes
his communications on the back and
the address of his correspondent on
the face; the latter appends his an
swer, grasses his own address, and
writes that of the person who sent it
to him. The double envelope also
has two stamps placed as on the
postal card, its flap is gummed in
two places, and between them is a
line Of perforations. The sender, in
stead Of inclosing stamp to pay re-
turn postage, uses one of these en-
velopes, writing the address on the
right hand end of the envelope, and
seals 1t by moistening the gum
on the outer edge of the flap. The
receiver cuts through the line of per-
foratious, and the envelope is opened.
Enclosing his answer, he seals it as
usual, and writes the address Of his
correspondent ON the left hand end.
The envelope sheet is sheet stamped
on the back like stamped envelope,
and so arranged that it can be folded
and sealed without using an envelope.
Its advantages are economy, and
also the convenience, especially in
the CASE Of papers, that may be used
in evidence in legal proceedings, of
having proof of the time of its re-
ceipt by its attachment to the docu-
ment itself. 1t is believed that these
changes will prove advantageous to
the business public.

Champagne an Economical Wine.

NJ. de Villemessant, of the Figaro,
once undertook to show that to serve
champagne throughout dinner was
quite an economical proceeding,
compared with the more ordinary
and seemingly less expensive course
of serving various kinds of Bor-
deaux and Burgundy at the beginning
Of dinner, with champagne towards
the end. The explanation of this
seeming paradox is to be found in
the known fact that when different
wines are opened good deal of wine
is left ia the bottles, whereas If cham
payne alone be opened each bottle is
disposed of as it is handed round.
Owing, moreover, to its stimulating
qualities, less champagne is needed
to set the liable, not in roar but in a
buzz, than would be needed OF other
wine or wines.-Pall Mall Gazette.

A Pleasant BedfellOw.

While w. s. Wait was lying on a
lounge in his house on Sabbath
evening he became aware of another
occupant by his side. Upon exam
ination it was found that his bed
fellow was nothing less than an
adder OF good size. The discovery
caused not few EXPLANATIONS by
Mr.. Wait and lively departure
from the lounge. By what means
the snake came there is not known,
but it is supposed to have been in
the straw with which the tick was
recently fllied.-Saline Valley (Kan.)

A DISPATCH from New York

A DISPATCH from New York
announces that several mining COM
panics have already transferred their
entire bushes from this Coast to that
place, and that many more are ex-
pected to do so shortly. In conse-
quence of this increase of business
seats in the Mining Board have
doubled in value during the past
seven days, and are not to be OBJ
tained even at the advanced rates.
This is just what was predicted by
the newspapers which opposed the
new Constitution of California.

a Presidential Candidate-Grant
Said to be Unwilling.
Especial Correspondence of the TIMEs.l
WASHINGTON, May 9.
Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, and
others s.roasted" Confederate Fort
Pillow Chalmers the other day.
Chalmers wanted to be vindicated
from the assaults made upon him
for his part in the notorious Fort
Pillow massacre during the war.
He made various denials, and
finally asserted that the Union men
who testified against him in that
affair were untruthtul. Mr. Bur-
rows thereupon read extracts from
the reports of the affair made by
Forrest and Chalmers themselves,
both OF whom commended the valor
of the rebel butchers and had no
word of reprimand. In fact, Mr..
Burrows didn't leave much of a
reputation for Mr.. Chalmers TO
boast upon.
IMPORTANT ELECTIONS TO OCCUR.
The Republican Congressional
Campaign Committee will go TO
work shortly to help in the CAM
paigns of the year. The very i'm
portant elections in Maine, Cali
fornia, Massachusetts, New York
and Ohio will particularly have their
attention. Their work will be in
excellent hands, Hon. VIM. E.
Chandler, of New Hampshire, hav-
ing been chosen Secretary of the
Committee. He is the best cam
paIgn director in the party, and
many are hoping that the New
Hampshire Legislature will send
him to the U. S. Senate at its ses-
sion in June. He has large circle
of friends not only in the party but
among business men.
OHIO POLITICS.
The Ohio campaign is having great
attention here from the fact that there
are so many Ohio Presidential can
didates looming up here and there.
The absence of Secretary Sherman
has lent new impetus to the flood of
gossip, and il is confidently believed
by large majority Of people that
he is home working up Presidential
movement for himself. The Demo-
Gratis are on nettles about it, for their
own internal quarrels are hard to
heal, and they seize every pretence
like this so-called Sherman move
ment to excite their own followers to
unite more cordially. So far as l
can judge, the sentiment of Repub-
cans here is that Judge Taft will be
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor, thus leaving the Democratic
quarrels and the Presidential cam
paign to take care of themselves in
regular order. We can carry Ohio
this year; that is the Washington
prediction.

Whist1er,S Household Effects,
RI Iondon Corresponflenrp

Rarely have curiosity mongers been
more disappointed than at the sale of
Mr.. Whistler's effects. The auction was
attended by large number Of the artists
admirers, and by brokers from all parts
Of London, eager to become the pcssessor
of some of the treasures which the White
House was supposed to contain. But
alas! whatever may be thought of Mr..
Whistlers pictorial arrangements, his
household arrangements were undeniably
meagre in conception, and anything but
remarkable in execution.
The artists domestic life must certain
ly have been Of the most simple kind,
judging from the manner in which his
residence was furnished. There was lit
orally nothing which the most enthusi-
astic Whistierian would have given six
pence for as memento. No inlaid cabi-
nets, no curiously carved oak furniture,
no old china things, no great paintings,
no rare sculptures, filled the rooms of the
White House, but instead the assembled
crowd had submitted for their inspection
a few commonplace tables, chairs, bed
steads a venerable piano which fetched
just S5s., couch or two, davenport
which went for E6 10s,, the highest price
given for any lot; and small collection
of kitchen and garden utensils, with the
usual rubbish that accumulates In house
corners.
That was all, and it may well be imag.
ined how great was the disappointment
Of those who went to find bric-a-brac, and
were invited to buy deal chests Of drawers,
iron bedsteads, and old saucepans. There
was one painting, it is true, but as it was
done on the drawing groom wall it could
not very well be removed, the wall moi
being for sale separately. The purchaser
Of the house, therefore, obtains this work
of art which was the only curiosity In
the place. 1t represents demon, who il
sitting on the top of the roof of an ole
house with piano balanced in front oi
him. On the instrument is piece o.
music entitled "The gold scAb, On erup
tion, by filthy luore." 1t is an undoubted
Whistler, and the next occupant of tht
house will perhaps be proud Of it, though
opinions will differ as to the appropriate
ness as drawing-room ornament Of ,
devil sitting on the top of house ant
playing the piano. Mr.. Whistler is per
haps not sorry to have got rid Of hi
white house, which was also yeritabl
