The employees of the city post-office will make
their first appearance to-day as a body in their
new uniforms few of the number were visible
last night in blue coats and brass buttons. The
new uniform is of navy blue, with sack coat and
cap, and resembles that worn by the railway mail
clerks. The gilded buttons are stamped with cut
of mounted postal carrier, like that on the seal
of the Post-Ofice Department. The innovation is
due to Postmaster Anger, who thinks that the uni
forms, while giving tidy and businesslike ap-
pearance to the clerks in the Office, will contribute
10 the efficiency of his force and facilitate the bust
ness of the Office as it will be easy to distinguish
York city posoffice were uniformed abouttwo years
ago. The uniforms make very fine appearance,
and will, it is expected, be very becoming TO the
handsome officials OF the city st.Ofice.

last night at Lincoln Hall, but the few who were
present were very agreeably entertained by CAPT
tally good lecture. Mr.. Andrews said that among
Englishspeaking peoples there were over twenty

even a rest or removal OF the cause will not

friend Of ours. He secured from his drug
gist bottle of Browns Iron Ritters, having
heard of its merit from a physician, who
told him not to take any other Bitters or
Tonic, for with the exception of Browns
Iron Bitters they all contained alcohol, and
had failed to give his patients lasting re-
lief, nor should he take any other prepaTa-
ton of Iron, for with the exception Of
Browns Iron Bitters, they all blackened
the teeth, and often gave headache, which
Browns Iron Bitters never did, but in fact
cured headache. The effect was most salts

results. His old energy returned, his natu-
