THE NEW POSTAL NOTE.
THE Latest Convenience for the
Transmission of MOneY.--A Com.
pletc Description Of the Note.

Transmission of MOney---A Com
plete Description Of the Note.
The new postal note authorized by the
last congress will be issued October LIST.
To newspapers it will be an especial con-
venienco, as it will do away with the re-
mittance Of postage stamps when it is
desirable to send fractional paris Of a
dollar by mail. Stamps are drug in
many cases and often have to be disposed
of at sacrifice. We give diagram
of the new note herewith. A person
living in Milwaukee, for instance, and
desiring to send any sum below S. to
any one in Chicago, goes to the post
Office and deposits the same with a fee
of 8 cents. The postmaster will then
punch two holes as indicated, to the
right of the order, showing the dimes
or cents deposited and dollars, if
so much, two more holes to the
left through month and year. H.
will then affix his stamp and sigma
ture, and hand over the note without
further trouble. For the three month
during which the note is good, it will be
ready substitute for legal tender in the
towns both in the issuing and receiving
Offices. To get the money, the note is
simply presented. The postmaster will
have bad a duplicate mailed to him.
The provision of making it payable
within three months of the last day o1
the month of issue, will in instances ex
tendits legal tender value to four months
if it be issued during the first days o.
any month. It affords no security *
either party, but in that respect is NJ
| worse than fractional currency or an,
other paper money. 1t is principal!
designed as a matter of convenience
and as such fills gap in small bust
ness transactions.
