What a Three-Cent Stamp Will Do,

It will do more than any other piece of paper of it's size and value in the world. It accom-
 plishes what would, q few years ago, have been deemed Impossible. That tilismanic placard on the corner of an envelope CT package commands the use of capacious and beautiful buildings wherein to receive your letters, orders trains of ears to carry them, and starts an army ofmen to deliver them. It brings information from every section of the country and tidings of pleasure as well. But the crowning consideration is the fact that 0 three-cent stamp sent to A. NoGELER &Co, Baltimore, Md, with the applicants name and address, will procure copy of ST JACOBS Calen- dar, replete with interesting reading matter, and
 better than all, containing specific instructions for the treatment and cure of rheumatism, neu
 ralgia and all painful diseases by the use of ST

DivisibIe Bank Notes.

Washington Correspondence Chicago Tribune
 Considerable comment has appeared recently with regard to the advisabillty of reviving, for the convenience of com merce, the fractional currency. The facilities afforded by the new system ot registering packages by mail for making purchases of small articles from dis tance makes it very desirable that there shonld be in existence some circulating medium of smaller denomination than the dollar which may be sent by mail Mai. Powers, Chief Clerk of the Treasury Department, proposes to meet this de- mand by issuing greenbacks of the de- nomination of Sl and $2, which may be divisible into halves and quarters. His plan is to have the face of the note printed as at present. The back he would have divided into four sections, each bearing separate obligation on the part of the Government for its re- demption. These may be issued as they are called for, and may pass in their com plete form until the holder finds occasion to cut them for the purpose of change when their tendency will be toward the treasury for redemption as mutilated currency. By an order ofthe Treasurer, issued by Mir. Spinner, the regular greeu- backs now current are redeemable when cut in two or more pieces, the amount being proportionate to the size of the pieces presented. If Congress should authorize the adoption of Maj. Powers proposition, it will merely legalize this long g-standing practice.

THE MODERN SCHOOL TEACHER.

,r,vassaturday night and teacher sat Alone her task pushing
 GfaT that her class was doing, She rcckoned percentage so many boys, And SO many girls all counted, And marked ali the tardy and absentees, And 10 what all the absence amounted. Names and residences wrote in full, 0'nr many columns and pages, canadian 1eutOntc African Celt, And averaged all their ages, rbe date of admission of every one, And cases of hagellation; And prepared Q list Ofgradueles FoF the county examination. uerweary head sank low on her book, And inc weary heart still lower; For s5rneuf her pupils had little brain, And she could not furnish more, She slept she dicamed 1t seemed she died, And her sprit went to Hades And .hey met her there with question fair, a-tate what the per cent Of your grade s?" Ages had slowly rolled away, Leaving but partial traces And the teachers spirit walked one day In the old familiar places A mound of fossilZed school reports Attracted her observation, As high as the Statehouse dome and as wide AS Boston since annexation. ehc came. olne spot where they buried her bones And the ground was well built over; But labOrcrs digging threw out skull once planted beneath the clover. A disciple of GIen, wandering by, Paused to look at the diggeTs And pluCking the skull up, look through the eye And saw it Wsslined with figures. "Just as ! thought" said the young NJ. D. 'sHow easy 1t is to kill 'em! Statistics ossifed every fold Ofccrelrum and Cerebelum.' "lts great curiosity, sure, said Pat, "Bv the bones you can tell the creature!' "Oh nothing strange, said the doctor; that Wasa uineteenth-centuty teacher"

The Chesapeake, Ohio and Southwestern
is having some trouble at Louisville about
right of way into that city. The railway
has its remedy.
The earnings of the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway continue to show favorable in
crease. For the month Of April they were
S253, s61, against S227, 342 in 1881. an in
crease Of S26 SIG; and for the first four
months of the year 1857 ,l04, against $500,
752 in 1881, an increase Of $54,352.
1t is estimated that the latest revision of
tariffs by he Illinois Railroad and Ware
h0dse Commi ssion reduces the freight earn
ings of the illinois Central, the Chicago and
Alton, the Rock Island and the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy roads thirty-fve per
cent. Officers of the roads fear serious trou-
