YoRK-s NEW SENATOR'S.

The New York Legislature has at last
selected two gentlemen to fill tie vacan-
cies occasioned by the designations OF
Senators Conkling and Platt. The sue
cessful candidates are Elbridge G. Lap
ham and Warner Miller. The former
succeeds Platt to the long term. and the
latter takes the place Of Conkling. Both
are natives of the Empire State, and
both had been returned last Fall as mem
bers OF the Forty-seventh Congress.
Lapham resides in Canandsigua; is a
lawyer Of local prominence, and is quite
an old man., being in his 9th year. He
was a member of the New York Consti-
t~utional Convention in 1876, and has
been in the Lower Hense OF Congress
during the last six years. He was re-
elected last Fall over &. w. Bennett, by
a majority of about 3,0G0. He started
out in life as a civil engineer, but adopted
the law in 1874. He has never made much
noise in Congress, but will probably fill
the bill quite as well &c Platt.
Miller, Conkling's successor, was born
in Oswego County, and now resides in
Herlsimer. He was born in 1898, and
per consequence is As years Of age. He
is engaged in farming and the manu-
facture Of paper, and is of course rich,
or he would not have been elected. He
graduated at Union College in 1860 and
on the breaking out Of the war enlisted as
a private in the Fifth New York Cavalry.
Was wounded, taken prisoner and pro-
NOTED to a Lieutenency. Served In the
New York Legislature in 1874 and 1875,
and was elected to the Forty-sixth Con-
prcss, and reelected to the Forty-seventh,
beating his opponent, Dennis OBrien,
about 1000. Miller is a man OF fair
attainmcnts, but will fall far short OF the
power and influence welded by Roscoe
Conkling. Thus endeth the disgraceful
deadlock at Albany.

PERSECUTION OF THE JEW


The Jew agitation in Germany seems
to have abated. Jews have had as much
ignominy cast On them there as any
where. Within the memory of living
persons they were not permitted to be
within the walls of Bremen and Ham,
the Great they were subject to severe
restrictions, and might not travel with
out permission. A wealthy Hebrew who
longed to quit Berlin, and had in vain
sought permission, at length wrote to
Frederick to beg leav g of absence on the
score of health. There came back this
affectionate autographs answer "Dear
Ephraim; nothing but death shall part
us.-Frederick.n

Postal Cards.

A treatise on the history of the pos.
tai card has been published in Berlin.
The originator of the idea is said tc
have been q German State official, DIR.
Stephan, who wrote an essay upon il
in 1865. Austria was the first to
adopt it. beginning in October, 1869.
The first three months witnessed the
passage of 2, S30,000 cards through the
mails. Germany followed suit in 1870,
and on the first day after the introduc,
ton of the postal card 45, 46S were
sent off in Berlin alone; and within
two months over 100000 were used
Other countries soon initiated the same
step. During the Franco Prussian war
the postal card system was a GREAT
boon to both armies. Over 10. OO0. OOC
cards passed through the campaign be.
tween the German soldiers and Their
friends and homes. The greatest
proportional consumption of postal
cards occur unquestionably in the
United States. The whole of Europe
is estimated to use annually $50, 900. O0(
while the consumption in the United
States alone will probably not fall shorl
OF 230,000,000 Germany consumed
in 1879, 1874, 900. The use Of the
postal card is, moreover, constantly
increasing, and, to some extent. AT th1
expense of the letter CORRESPONDENCE
There are now said to be seventv-tbre,
countries in which it is introduced
Austria, which has the honor of frs
putting the idea into practical execu
ton, is now said to have cards of m,
poorest material and most incon
Venient form.
