Washington, July 1.-THE Post
master General has approved a design
for the ten cent special delivery stamp
authorized by Congress at its last SEES

the size of the ordinary postage stamp
and the shape Of a dollar note. On
the left of the stamp there is a pref
ty vignette of a messenger boy in
uniform, across the top are the words
limited States special postage dellv.
ery,' and along the bottom the price OF
the stamp, ten cents, is expressed Id
figures and letters. Conspicuous on
the stamp are the verbs, Secure i'm
mediate delivery at the special deliv-
cry Office" The whole design is very
pretty and effective. The Postmaster

The transfer Of the American side of
Niagara Falls to the State of New York
will take place on the 18th of this
month. 1t is high time that something
was done to take away from the men
who have made it almost impossible
for people without a pocket full of
money to visit the place. Recently a
party of fifteen persons paid out $50
for tolls alone in going about to see
the different sights. Another party of
six paid out $50. When the land is
transferred the toll gates, will be taken
down, which will enable visitors to go
about and enjoy themselves without
money and without price. Ii the
Government Of Ontario viii hurry up
the work on the Canada side, the Falls
will have a chance to show themselves
again in something of the beauty and
sublimity which they presented to the
Indian and the early settler.

Some Spiritualists are discussing a
remarkable discovery which is said to
have been made by the amaiabla DIR.
Wheden, who died not long ago. His
discovery was that the entire nervous
system constitutes the mind, o. soul,
of each human being, and that at death
this nervous system becomes the eter-
nal form of the spirit. He called this
nervous system the 'angeloid.' Here
below il rarely happens that people
who are most nervous are most like
angels. As was to be expected, other
Spiritualists have already come to the
front to dispute DR.. Wheden's right to
be honorcd as the discoverer of this
remarkable object. Hereafter, instead
Of asking your neuralgia friend how
his headache is, it win be proper to
say, Il hope your cranial angeloid is

We pause to note the progress of year,
and to count the eleventh mile post in the his
tory of the business. During 1885 many
conveniences have been introduced for the more
satisfactory serving of trade-not the least of
these being the establishing OF order boxes for
local trade.
Many new lines of goods have been
added to our stock, including for the holidays
large stock of Toys, Fancy Articles, ETC.
During the year we have paid more atten-
ton than ever to the obtaining of exclusive
styles-that is, in bringing to Sacramento abb
solutely new things, gathered for the most part
in distant markets. In word, we esteem it a
