The new postal draft that the gov.
ernment has adopted for the transmits
sion of small sums of money is likely TO
fiji the want that has long been felt.
1t will have the advantage of cheapness,
costing only three cents above the a.
mount OF the draft, and Of simplicity,
being substantially only check or
draft drawn 10y the postmaster at one
station upon the postmaster ut another.
1t viii require little time or trouble to
procure or to get it caShed. 1t will be
a great accommodation to the working
class and others who desire to for
ward remittances In the way of business
or to their friends.
Possibility Of Murderers Respite.
PIrrsBrRG, March 23.-There is a
strong probability that SilAs Gray, Of
w estmoreland county, whose death
warrant was signed 10y the Governor on
Wednesday last, will be respited. Since
the statement made 10y Hiram Bower
master that Gray did not commit the
murder. renewed efforts are being made
in behalf of the condemned man. Gov
| ernor Latta, who was interviewed to-
day on the subject, said that if Bower
matters statement can be corroborated i,
there is scarcely any doubt but that the
Pardon Board will take some action
The testimony of Johnson Dickson the
prir cipal witness against Gray, has
been dScredited since the trial, and the
probabilities are that if another hear
| ing is granted it will be torn TO shreds.
The execution is fixed for May 24.
| TIE CARS CoRoNATION.-In May
the present Car is TO be formally
crowned at Moscow. The ceremony is
expected to exceed in lavish eXtrava-
gance and spiendor any similar event
in ancient or modern times. The Ia
bic tor the general feast will be eleven
miles long. 1t will be most extraor-
| dinarY pageant. There is however, a
general expectation that the Nihilists
will make their power felt on that su-
preme occasion. Should they succeed
in killing the Car in the midst of this
extraordinary spectacle it would be
one of the most dramatic events in all
! history. 1t is not ut all likely howev-
er, that any occurrence of a tragic char
acter will mar the festivities. The
most extraordinary precautions will bb
taken. Powerful and daring as have
been the Nihilists they will have to wait
to strike their blows till their victim is
off his guard.
GIRLS, BE CAUTIoUS.-GirlS,b beware
of transient young men. Never suffer
the address Of strangers. Recollect one
good steady farmers boy or industrious
mechanic is worth more than all the
floating trash in the world. The allure
ments of a dandy Jack, with gold
chain about his neck,a walking stick in
his paw, and brainless though fancy
| skull, can never make up The loss of n
kind fathers bone, mothers counsel
and the society Of brothers and sisters.
These affections last while that Of such
a man is lost at the wane of the honey
moon. Girls, beware Take heed lest
we fall into the "snare Of the fowler. "
Too many have been already taken
| from kind fathers home and n good
mothers counsel, and made the vic
Tins Of poverty and crime, brought to
shame and disgrace, and then thrown
upon their own resources, to spend
their few remaining days in grief and
sorrow, while the brainless skull IS
making its circuit around the world, to
ruin other victims by his deceitful
snares and artful villainy. Girls, be-
ware.
Wheat Prospects in the West.
ST. Louis, March 29.-The Post Dis
patch has reports of the winter wheat
crop from over two hundred counties
in those parts of Illinois, Indiana, Ken
lucky, Tennessee, Kansas, Missouri and
Texas where winter wheat is grown.
In Missouri and Kansas the condition is
good the acreage fully equal TO last year
and the damage no greater than usual
at this time of year. Tennessee and H.
inois give fair reports, but Kentucky
and Indiana, especially the latter, show
considerable damage. From Texas re-
ports are meagre, but those received are
