The Two Cent Stamp.
A circular has been issued from
the office of the third assistant post
master general, officially notifying
postmasters throughout the United
States of the reduction in postage
rates which is to take effect on the
first of October, and directing them
to make preparation for it. The
post masters are notified through this
circular that it is desirable to have as
small stock of the present three
cent postage stamps and stamped en-
vclopes as possible on hand when the
reduction Of rates goes into effect,
and they are accordingly directed to
limit their acquisitions for stamps
and envelopes of this denomination
to such quantities as upon careful es--
innate they may deem sufficient to
last until the first of October. They
are also instructed to take all avalla-
bic means without incurring any ad-
ditional expense to call public atten-
ton to the coming reduction, so that
purchasers may not accumulate an
unnecessary supply of three cent
stamps and envelopes.
The circular also directs that as no
arrangements have yet been made
for the redemption Of the three cent
stamp and envelopes in the hands Of
postmasters, or for the exchange by
postmastcrs Of these stamps and en-
vclopes in the hands Of private hold,
ers, until further notice postmasters
will not make exchanges for the pub,
lie nor return to the department the
stock that remains on their own
hands after October /. The post
masters are, however, notified that as
the two and three cent stamps ard
envelopes of the present issue will
continue to ba valid after that date
they must be accepted in payment OF
postage when offered in proper
amounts, and that the three cent
stamps can be used in combination
with other denominations on letters
requiring more than one rate Of pos
tage andon parcels ofthirl and fourth
class matter.
The circular also announces that
the department will be ready to issue
the two cent stamps of the new de-
sign on the fifteenth Of September,
but that these stamps and envelopes
must not be placed on sale, or used
until October /. Also that no three
cent stamp will be issued after Sep.
tember IA, unless the requisition be
accompanied by statement that they
are needed for immediate use and
that the full supply called for will
become exhausted by October /; and
further that no staml envelope
will be issued after the thirty-first OF
August, unless the requistlon for
them is accompanied by a similar
statement. The circular further in
structs the postmasters as to the de-
sign for the new two cent and four
cent stamps and stamped envelopes,
and notifies them that the prices Of
the envelopes, exclusive Of POSTAGE
will remain the same as at present;
that no change will be made in the
postage due stamps and that the
rates on drop letters will remain the
same as at present.

Dsosy Of population in France.

E -.
The we'll known fact that there has
been through long series Of years a
steady decline in the rate OF increase of
population in France has received fresh
confirmation In the report on the census
returns Of 1881, recently made by the
Minister Of the Interior to the President
Of the French Republic. Taking the re-
suits contained in this report, writer
in 1 resent number Of the London Timer
shows that, while the average increase
for every ten thousand inhabitants is one
hundred and one in Great Britain, one
hundred nd fifteen in Germany and
still greater in Russia and the United
States, it is only twenty-six In France.
This small excess Of births over deaths
in France is not due either to q high
death rate or TO small proportion Of
marriages to population. Neither the
death rate nor the marriage rate
Is exceptional In France. 1t must,
then, be attributed to the birth rate,
which is found to be lower in France
than in any other country OF Europe.
Thus in Russia there is one birth for
every twenty Inhabitants; Germany, one
for twenty five; Austria Hungary, one
for twenty six; England, one for twenty
seven; Italy, one for twenty seven, aud
Spain. Que for twenyty-eight. In France
the rate Is one for thirty-seven. As
there 10 little variance in the proportion
Of marriages to population in the couD-
tries named these figures show that the
average number of births to each mar
riage is exceptionally low in France.
Statistics also prove that the decrease in
the birth rate. and consequently in the
rate Of increase in the population, has
been steady for more than half century,
and the results Of the recent census do
not show any signs OF arrest Of this back
ward tendency IN. y. Herald

THE STORM.
No Serious Effects Upon
Cattle.

Omaha, S.-The condition of cat
tie since the recent heavy snow
storm and extremely cold weather,
continues to be a matter of general
interest. So far, nearly all reports
are favorable. The weather las
greatly moderated, and in some
places the snow is being lifted by
winds sufficiently to give cattle a
chance to get grass, but most of the
trouble arises from lack of water.
William a. Paxton, one of the
largest cattle owners, has returned
to Omaha from his range on the
North Platte River, in western
Nebraska, where he had 10000
cattle, and he failed to
find any dead from the eff
tects of the storm. He is per-
fectly easy about the situation. He
says there is only six inches of snow
in western n ebraska, and ca tie can
get plenty of grass, as the snow is
light and drifting. There is no loss
as yet worth mentioning. Some
old cows and young stock may suf-
fer, but not to amount to l per cent.
He apprehends no serious loss and
claims that the recent snow storm S
and cold weather are not to be COM
pared with the continuous cold
weather of two years ago, which
caught cattle in a poor condition,
and unable to endure it for any
length of time; whereas cattle this
winter are in a better condition
than ever before known, What he
says regarding the situation
on his range, will apply
to other ranges in Nebraska. On
the Niobra ranges in northern Ne
braska, where there is not over 1000
cattle, it is reliably reported there
is not over two or three inches of
snow, and cattle are in good condi-
ton and able to procure plenty of
grass. In southwestern Nebraska,
along the Colorado line, there is
considerable snow, and cattle are
crowding along the line of the
Union Pacific and Denver Short
Line, and quite a number are being
killed by the cars, but none as yet
have died from the effects of the
weather. The following is extracted
from the Union Pacific cattle reports
received to-day. In the vicinity of
the Platte River, north and south
branches, and between the same the
snow lies deepest, and cattle are
weaker and thinner than at more
remote points. There is more danger
from lack of water than lack OF
food. AS yet but few if any cattle
are dying, and unless additional
snow falls or the present weather
continues an undue length of time,
no danger is apprehended. The
conclusion from all reports is that
the outlook is not discouraging.
Reports from Wyoming are of the
same general tenor, although the
snow is much deeper in that terri
tory.

OLD PROPS.
He Defends Glsc Signal serriee
as Now Conducted.

~ V ~
Washington, Seen. W. 8. Ha-
zen, chief signal officer, U. S. a.
has sent to the press for publication
statement in reply to the charges
against him, and the attacks made
upon the signal service by Repre-
sentative Beethoven and a number
of anonymous writer's. The
charges, Gen. Hazen saws, have
their origin in the resentment of
dismissed employees, and are un-
truthful, slanderous, and attacks
made for the purpose of bringing
about the removal of the weather
service to the interior department.
Gen. Hazen then gives briefly some
reasons why such removal should
not be made, viz: first, because ex-
perlence has shown that the head of
the service must have power to
punish men for neglecting to take
observations at the precisely pre-
scribed times, aDd such power can
not be had under civil law; second.
because the work is done more
cheaply by the present signal ser
vice than it could be done by the civil
bureau; third, because government
must be able to hold observers bv
enlistment in order to receive bene-
fit of their services in return for the
instruction given them in meteoro-
logy, These, he says, are some of
the reasons why the weather bureau
be retained as part of the service
which made it a success.
General Hazen then calls atten-
ton to the covert attempts
which he thinks are being made to
destroy the weather service, by in
directly hostile legislation. The
army appropriation bill, as reported
to the Senate contains provisions
that officers who have served in
Washington over three years shall
return to their regiments. This
he says, would destroy the
weather service, or at least suspend
it for a long time, because every
officer except one who can make a
weather prediction has been in the
weather service more than three
years. In conclusion General Hazen
say. "It Congress wishes to know
all the details of the administration
OF the bureau, it can appoint an
investigating committee to which
every possible opportunity and
facility will be given.

The N1caraguan Bill.

Washington, e.-Representative
Page does not think the Nicaraguan
Canal bill can be reached in the
ordinary way at this session. His
only hope of the passage of the bill
now is to get it through the Senate
after the tariff bill is in that body,
and then attach it to an appropria-
ton bill in the House. He says if
the Senate should pass il he will
get it attached to one of the appro-
priation bills in the House.
