act. Jknown as che Spaulding BILL passed
at the lastssession Of congress. An at
torney represnfIng b number of these
postmasters Is now in Washington, and
has made an informal argument in their
behalf at the postoff1ce department. min
tanning thai the increase of salaries proyid-
ed forby this actmay properly be pad out
of the reg ular appropriation for salaries
the current fiscal year. The Officers OF
the department assert thai the law pro-
viding for the readinstrnent of tire post
masters salaries cannot be carried into
effect Without a specific appropriation,
and that to pay the amount or the III
crease in salaries out of the regular ap-
preparation would create deficiency. 1t
is the Intention of the department to be
gin the work of readjusting the salaries
under the cent postage law, as provided
in the Bingham, as soon as possible.
The acting secretary of the treasury has
ficers of the several banks in Chicago ask
ing that the gold certificates issued by
the assistant United States treasurer of
that city be made to bear some mark of
identification, and that gold received there
for be held to redeem such certificates
and no Others also that the assistant
treasurer in Chicago be supplied with a
reasonable amount of both large and small
certificates, and that the different denomi-
nations be made interchangeable.
The acting secretary replied that il
was not deemed expedient to place any
distinctive marks on the current series oil
gold certificates for the purpose of ident-
flying them as an issue Of the
Chicago office; that such a mark
would, in his opinion, lead TO complica-
tons and tend to discredit these certifi
Gates in other cities wherein the ordinary
course of circulation they might go. The
department, he says, is not at present
prepared to authorize the issue of a dis
tinctive series for Chicago alone, since
that would involve the question of a
separate and distinct series for each sub
treasury. If. however, bankers in Chica-
go wish TO exchange one denomination oi
certificates for nother and viii so inform
him. the department, in view pf the exist
ing circumstances viii cause the Chicago
office TO be supplied with gold certificates
of smaller Denominations and authorize
the desired exchange.
1t is stated upon the authority of one
who has seen the document and whose
statements are believed TO be Trustworthy,
that the mail contractor J. B. Price has
made an affidavit in the possion of the
government wherein he alleges that he on
| one occasion gave Gen. Brady $25. 900 in

According TO the London Times, the
cause of the present activity in the razor
trade is the sudden change in the Ameri-
can demand, which is now all for hollow
backed razors. Another kind is made,
not for shaving. bnt for razor lights. 1t
is very loose in the blade, which can be
suddenly thrown back, and held between
the fingers for dash at the face. This
razor is said to be almost entirely used by
negroes, and large numbers are sent to
the United States. The Sheffield water is
said to be essential to the making of good
razors. Several yeals ago a company of
racer grinders who went to America took
barrel of Sheffield water with them; but
the Darrell, of course, could not last for
ever. Whatever the cause, the making of
razors remains a speciality of Sheffield
manufacturers, and almost a monopoly.
