A Quick Delivery Postal Law.

It's not generally known that a very
important law, known as the Quick
delivery Postal law, was passed BY
congress and approved by the presi.
dent Just before the expiring hours OF
the session one day last week. 1t
provides that a special stamp of the
face valuation OF 10 cents may be pro-
vided and issued, whenever deemed
advisable or expedient, in such form
and bearing such device as may meet
the approval of the postmaster general
which when attached to a letter, in
addition to the lawful postage thereon,
the delivery of which IS to be free
delivery office, or at any city, town,
or village containing a population Of
1000 or over, according 10 the last
federal census, shall be regarded as
emitting such letter to immediate de-
livery within the carrier limit of any
free delivery office which may be des-
ignated by the postmaster general as
a special delivery Office, or within one
mile of the pOstothce at any other
office coming within the provisions of
this section which may ia like man
ner be designated as special delivery
Office. Such specially stamped letters
shall be delivered from z o'clock
ante meridian up to ~ O'clock mid
night at offices designated by the
postmaster general ia the class men.
toned The postmaster of auy office
which may come within the provisions
Of the act may, with the approval Of
the postmaster general, employ such
person or persons as may actually be
required for such service, who, upon
the delivery of such letter, will procure
a receipt from the party addressed, or
some one authorized to receive it, IN q
book TO be furnished for the Eurrose,
v Mich shall, when not in use, be kept
in the posto1iice, and at all times be
subject 10 an examination by an in
spector OF the department. The post
master shall keep a record of the
number of letters received at such
office bearing such special stamp,
which number shall correspond with
the number entered in the receipt
books heretofore specified; and at the
end of each month he may pay to
such person or persons employed a sum
not exceeding so per centum of the
face value Of all such stamps received
during the month. Provided, that in
no case shall the compensation so paid
to any one person exceed $50 per
month. And, provided, further, that
nothing in the act shall in any way
interfere with the prompt delivery of
letters as now provided by law or
regulation of the Postolhce Depart
ment
This act was framed by Hon. Chas.
r. Skinner representative from the
jefferson district, and pushed through
congress by him. 1t is a measure
that when put in full operation will be
found to be of great public utility.

Movement Of Sap in Trees.
0PractIcaI Tor.stry, by a S. RULER

fractcal orsSt}- by a. =. tuuer,
All plants obtain their nourishment
in a liquid of gaseous form, by inhib-
ition through the cells OF the younger
roots or fibrils. The fluids or gases
thus absorbed, probably mingling
with other previously assimilated
matter, are carried upward from cell
to cell through the alburEum or sap
wood, until it reaches the buds, leaves
and smaller twigs, where it is exposed
10 the air and light, and converted
into orgauizable matter. la this con
dition a part goes to aid ia the pro
longation of the branches, enlarge
ment of the leaves, and formation OF
buds, flowers fruit, and other portions
are gradually spread over the entire
surface of the wood. extending down
ward to the eXtremitieg Of the roots.
We often speak Of the downward flow
of sap, and even of its circulation, but
the movement in trees in no way cor,
responds with the circulation of blood
in animals; neither does ii follow any
we'll defined channels, for it will.
when INSTRUCTED, move laterally as
Wen as lenglDWise, OF WIN the gram
OF the wood
The old idea that the sap of trees
descended into the roots in the fall
remaining there through tie winter,
is an error with no foundation what
ever AS the wood and leaves ripen
in the autumn, the roots almost cease
to imbibe crude sap, and for a while
the entire structure appears 10 part
with moisture, and doubtless does so
through the eEhalati0ns from the
ripening leaves, buds and smaller
twigs but as warm weather again APP
proaches the temperature Of the soil
increases, the roots AGAIN commence
TO absorb crude sap and force It up
ward, wkere it meets soluble 0rganiz
ell matter, changing its color, taste
and chemical properties. If this
