The Postal Note.

Among the many measures of the late Re-
publican Congress which notably contribute
TO the public convenience and prosperity
must be reckoned the postal note act which
meets the demand for cheaper postal money
orders. The postal note will be a money or
der of about the size and general appearance
of a greenback, for any sum up to IS, which
will be furnished at charge of only three
cents. No written application win be nee
essary, and it will be made payable at any
postoffice the purchaser may designate, and
will be good at any time within three
months from the last day of the month in
which the note is issued. On the margin at
one end will be the figures /, ?, 3, 4, repre-
senting dollars, to o representing dimes
and TO representing cents. and the post
master or clerk selling the note will desig-
nate the amount beyond the possibility of al
te-ation by punching out the figures which
express the requisite number of dollars,
dimes and cents The date viii be denoted
in similar way upon the margin at the 9TH
er end of the note, the names of the IL
months being given and the dates Of - years
from 1883 to 1895, and all the writing re-
quired will be simply the name of the post
office where the note is to be paid. The note
can be bought with almost as little trouble as
i postage stamp, and the person who pre-
sents it for payment hes nothing TO do but
to write his name on the back by way of a
receipt. The device viii obviate the neces-
sity of looking up pieces of the old postal
currency, now becoming scarce, when small
sums are to be sent by mail, and will avoid
temptation to use postage stamps for the
same purposes, besides being much safer
than either. It will probably be introduced
about July l. For sums of s. and more the
old money order will still be used, but the
charge for the same will be slightly reduced
sums of less than $40 being cents instead
of 10 as heretofore-and instead of taking
$50 as a maximum amount for which an or
der will be issued, the limit will be fixed a
500, and the charge for the largest order
will be 10 cents.

New York Women and Their Critic
1.-THE Hour.I

Inc nCuI
DR.. Dix does not find women's ways as
once they were, and he attributes the
change to customs which were not in vogue
when the rector of Trinity formed his first
impressions Of women. DR.. Dix mistakes
exceptions for the rule; but he can be for
given for this, for in city as large as New
York the exceptions are numerous enough
to have occasioned serious concern in many
circles long before the Lenten lectures of
the season began. The first cause, If we
except the tendency of humanity, even the
better part Of it, to improve almost every
occasion to do those things 1t ought not to
do and leave undone the things 1t ought to
do. is the enormous increase in private for
tunes within the lifetime Of generation.
Nine-tenths Of the people who now are rich
were in only moderate circumstances when
the recent civil war began; their means
have increased far more rapidly than their
knowledge Of how to use money; so extrava-
gance and display have become the only
outlet of the combined energy and money
of many people who are in sentiment and
intention as good as they ever we're. Mon
ey requires, or Is supposed to require, spe-
cial manners In those who possess 1t, and as
many have had no time nor ability to acquire
manners of their own, they have eagerly
and bIunderingly copied those Of rich people
abroad, availing themselves OF whatever
models were most prominent, without re-
gard to appropriateness. Riches implies
leisure and ways of enjoying 1t, and as the
homely methods of the last generation are
insufficient, others have been adopted hastily
and without proper inspection. There new
er was a time when the majority OF mothers
in Israel did not wish their daughters to
m AIRY rich husbands, so girls art now bur-
ried into society in order that they may los9
no opportunities to be admired by rich bach
elors and widowers.
The social results of all this are TO be de-
plored; but they must be traced to the cause
we have indicated, and not to any influence
that Dr. Dix has mentioned. The thirst for
general knowledge that many women mani
fest. 10 the great regret of the preacher, is
far from being an evil. Woman will never
cease TO want to be her husbands compan-
ion hut IL she Is to succeed she must know
far more than sufficed her sex generation
AGO. The men of to-day are much more In
telljeent than their fathers were. The news
papers. thanks to railroads and telegraph
wires, are now daily records OF all that Is going
on in the world, and as all men read them,
so all women follow the exampless.set py
their lords
If, instead of judging all society by that OF
the metropolis, and instead of estimating all
women in New York by many who are
prominent only because they have more
money than sense, DR.. Dix had carefully
studied family life in all parts of his own
parish, his lectures on womanhood would
have been very different in Tone He would
have found the great majority of women as
pure and modest as those of any other gen.
Grafton; as fond Of home and all that home
embraces; as full of conjugal and maternal
sentiment as their mothers were.

LORD Dunraven's scheme for settling the
Irish difficulty which he is anxious to press
upon the acceptance of the government is
not characterized by any startling degree of
originality, whatever other merit he may
have to recommend it. His lordship's idea,
that the solution of the problem is to be fo1nd
in extensive emigration, conducted under
the auspices of the government, is one
which has frequently found expression and
support upon previous occasions. The plan
proposed, though it would be tantamount to
an acknowledgment of defeat, might be eff
fectiye If it could be carried out; but the
Irish are sufficiently unreasonable to object
to a remedial measure which involves their
expatriation, and it would be just like them
to stay at home all the more persistently be-
cause the English were asking them to leave

SINCE the Supreme Court of the United
States decided that the 'iRiddleberger bill'
was constitutional, even those Virginians-
and they are not few-who have defended
the honor of the State vigorously, have be-
gun to give up the contest. That bill virtu-
ally repudiates the contract by which certain
bond coupons were made receivable for
taxes, by requiring long and roundabout
judicial examination into their genuine
ness before they are taken by collectors
For the present, at least, they are not re-
ceivable, and the bondholders rather expect
to discover that none of the coupons will
ever be genuine when offered in payment
for taxes. The Supreme Court decision
sustaining the evasive enactment virtually
upholds Reputation, and the minority of
honest Virginians can hardly be blamed for
not carrying on the fight longer.
