The Postal Notes.

A Chicago letter says - From
the action of the local banks,
and the number of complaints at the
post.oilice, it appears that the postal
notes issued to the public are already
g great many bean to arrive there within
a day or two after their first issue, sent
in lieu of drafts of small amounts, and
we're at once deposited the same as
checks or drafts. The numberless mis-
takes that were made by the postmasters
sending them caused the banks to re,
fuse to accept them, and this action was
deemed tantamount to destroying then
usefulness. The post-oilice officials alsC
declare that the handling OF the posta
notes and the work of rectifying error
have entailcd an unusual amount OF al
ditional labor on the working force.

Doubling Up.

4 very slight error OF fact or practice
will sometimes result in serious mis-
take. This was recently illustrated in h
s,t.ool in New York city, where a pupi
who had been impressed with the force
and value of double letters, such rs
"double O" in "fool," "double @" ii
heel" etc, was called upon to rear
that touching poem exhortatory to earl
rising, beginning:
Cup, up, Lucy the sun is in the sky"
Surprise, which soon gave away t.
hilarity, was occasioned when the pup
read the line: "Doublc mp, Lucy th'
sun is in the sky" thus giving it
significance by no means contemplate

Oh 10 go back In our lives,

Knowing all that now we know,
Seeing all we saw not then.

Oh but 10 tarry once more

And choose as we chose not then,
Made wise by LIES regret

The Utica Herald agrees with President
 Eliot that pecuniary assistance given to young
 men studying for the ministry is harmful.
 '"The ranks of students" it says. 'thave al-
 ways been recruited from the poor Theo-
 logical students are not an exception. Edu-
 cation must be cheapened in cost, not for
 those who want to be ministers only, but for all. Then those who are fittest for the Mas ter's vineyard can be chosen without requir- ing them in advance to accept gifts. and place themselves in the leading strings of the meddlesome ladies who thrust into the pulpit not those who have the brains and the soul for the task, but those who will most readily respond to invitations to accept the guardian ship of sewing circles or female committees"
 Last year is spoken of as one of unusual and disappointment to manufac- turers in the South, but cotton factory in Piedmont, South Carolina does not appear to have had very hard time of it. The net profits during the year amounted to 214 per cent. on the capital stock of $500, ,OOO, or over $105, 1000. Out of the net earnings 8 dividend of 10 per cent. was paid to the stock holders, the remainder of the earnings being turned into the reserve fund for use as commercial capital The capital stock of the company Is $21O;I71.4s less than the total cost of the property, which amounts to $71o, 171.4s; but this difference has been paid out of the net profits, over and above the dividends There are proba ply few northern mills that can make 50 good a showing. There is no good reason why cotton manufacturing should not pay in the South.

though the Pope receives something like $1, 800, 900 annually for the expenses of the Holy See, his own food only costs about fifty cents day, everything included. After din ner he visits the chapel, and, if time permits, takes walk in the gardens of the Vatican, where he directs the gardeners and takes the healthy interest in their work that would be shown by any ordinary country gentleman. After his walk he converses with any visit ors who have been allowed to approach him, and at 4 o'clock he once more gives au- dience to his Cardinals and Bishops. About 2. p. m. he takes @ little rest and works alone until half past 8, when supper is served. From that time till about Il or 12 the Pope occupies himself with reading theological works sent him by the Nunoios from all parts of the world. He certainly works hard enough for 8 man seventy-four years old.
 A blunder made by the Colorado legisla- ture wil1 it is now thought, save the necks of several citizens whom the people of Colo rado do not consider useful The legislature of 1881 passed an act revising the criminal code of the State. Two sections of the laws relating to murder were repealed by that act and two others substituted. Under the Constitution these two sections could not go into effect for ninety days after their enact ment and the bill contained no emergency clause AS the two sections repealed con- tained the provisions for punishment of nurderers and the definitions of the two grades of the crime recognized in Colorado, during the ninety days following March l, 1881, there was practically no law under which 8 murderer could be punished. More over, the Supreme court of the State has de- cided that murderers tried under the new law for crimes committed while the old law was ia existence cannot be legally sentenced to death. Previous to 1881 8 murderer could at any time escape the death penalty by plead ing guilty, as according to the laws then in existence such plea could only be accepted ss proof of guilt in the lower grade of mur- der. In revising the criminal code the legis- lature of 1881 provided that an indictment for murder should be tried and verdict rem dered Tn accordance with the facts, in spite of the prisoners plea of guilty. Therefore the Supreme court decides that the law is in- operative in the case of prisoners indicted for crimes committed before it went into effect. This decision is not popular in Colorado, but with the facts as they are of course no other could be given.
