Missent Letters Can be Remailed without
Additional Expense.
] Two men stood near letter-box in
Broadway disputing about sealed let
ter which one of them held in his hand.
The letter had been posted at an. office
in Virginia and carrier had delivered
it at an uptown address. In the mean
time the person to whom the letter was
addressed had left the city. The origi.
nal address had been erased and one in
a distant town had been written below it.
''You will have to put another stamp
on it, )" said the stouter of the two men
to the one who held the letter.
That's possible, but my wife told
me i only needed to drop it into box
She ought to know about such things,
because she re-mails lots of letters that
come to the house. y II
why didn't she look after this one
then?''
l'a Because she wanted it sent from
down town so that it would get out
quicker. W. eH E s@
swell, if you post it without another
stamp it will not 60 at all. Women
don t know about such things"
A letter-carTier approached the box
at that moment and an appeal was made
to him. He glanced at the envelope and
said: That needs another stamp be-
cause it is not city letter. If it were
going to another part of the city the old
stamp would carry it. y
..Do you mean to say that this letter
would be detained at the office for post
age?n
Well, perhaps they would send it
and charge the extra postage at the
other end of the line. You had better
see the station agent about it. .
There said the stout man after the
carrier had walked away, you see how
much your wife knew about it. -
Come on to the station and if she is
wrong Twill pay for two cigars
They went to Station A and the letter
was shown to the agent there aThatts
all right, was his curt comment.
But carrier has told me it would
need another stamp because it was
going out of the city again"
The law nsed to be that waY,a the
agent said, '.but it has been changed,
and every carrier ought TO knowit. Now
a letter can be remailed as often as
necessary within the United States to get
it to the owner without extra postage.
The only limit is the number of changes
that can be made in addresses on the
face Of the envelope. IN Y Tribune.

and our guide, who crawled close to
the edge, reported vapor coming from
the bottom, but the rest of us could not
perceive it. There were many evidences
of recent discharges, however, one of
the most pronounced being the pres
ence of fakes of sulphur on the ground.
which must have been deposited there
since the last rainfall.
1t is the prevailing theory among
local amateur scientists that the five act
i've volcanoes of Costa Rica are con-
nected by underground passages, and
are all chimneys of the same terrestrial
furnace; that more than one is seldom
active, but that at least one is always in
a state of eruption, as an escape for gas
and vapors from the subterranean fires,
that it is universally the rule for earth
quakes of great force to follow a sup
preston of activity in all of them, and
sense of relief always prevails when the
discharges are heavy and frequent But
while the interruption of activity is i'm
mediately succeeded by upheavals else
where. earthquakes are frequently felt,
though not in such force, while the vol
canoes are active. This is accounted
for by the fact that gas is not emitted as
fast as it aceumulates, and that when it
gathers in quantities sufficient to reach
the sparks from the subterranean fires;
it explodes in the caverns and causes an
oscillation of the earth above. These
explanations are very plausible and gen
orally accepted as true, although, as /
have said, the phenomenon has never
been studied by men of scientific repu-
tation, who might find here an interest
ing and prolific field for research. -

An Old Art in Modern Barber shop
Seldom Resorted to in This Country.
/. A novel sight was presented in a
bathroom at Phil. Balzer's Yesterday
afternoon, and was exhibited to a num-
Der of interested customers of the shop.
An old German barber who Keeps d
chair in the south end was '.cupping a
patient The process had of course,
been often heard of, but never seen bv
any present. The man upon whom the
art was being practiced was sitting in
bathtub, and attached to his skin were
no less than twenty-eight small glass
cups, which had been applied to all
parts of his body by the doctor barber.
The skin had. been cut or scaFiied .un-
der each. and the blood was slowly
oozing out into the cups. The applica-
tons were made by expelling the. air
from the cups by means of heat, and
quickly pressing them uponthe man s
person. The flesh was drawn up into
the cup by the pressure of the air, and
the blood extracted by sort of sue
ton. ~ ~
s'Cupping" was formerly part of the
profession of every barber in Germany,
and from itcame the sign of the red, blue
and white pole, the c0lors being sup
posed to represent arterial and veinous
blood, and pure health, respectively. aIs
was approved by reputable physicians,
though not when done to such al, ex-
tent as in the case of yesterday. It was
used mostly for LEGAL troubles, and not
fer Wholesale bloodletting. It is now
seldom done in this country, though
English doctors sometimes prescribe it.

The Invention of Paper.

How. when. or by whom paper was
first invented will never be known.
According to Hallam. documents on
paper are found as early as the tenth
century, and it came into use not long
after this era, and completely supplant-
ed all other materials which were
formerly employed for the purposes for
which it is now used. twill be observed
that the invention of paper of some
kind was an absolute necessity before
there could be printing. as parchment
was far to expensive to use for the pur-
pose, even were it otherwise perfectly
adapted TO this use. The use of paper
in Western Europe dates from the
time mentioned, but it was known to the
Chinese long before the Christian era.
and it is believed that they used the
bark of various trees, the soft part of
the bamboo stems, cotton and several
other kinds of vegetable fibers. From
the Chinese it is supposed to have spread
to India, thence to Arabia, and the manu-
facture was introduced into Europe by
the Moors of Spain. but about this there
is no certainty. The rice paper of the
Chinese is made in the same general
way as the papyrus of the ancient
Egyptians, by placing in proper order
layers of fibers and cementing them
with sizing or glue. The first patent
for paper making was taken out in
England in 1865, but it was s'for making
blue paper, such as is used by bakers. /"
The next, for making writing papers,
was in 1876. and covered writing and
printing papers. Louis Globe Dem

ANormER ACCOuNr.

VINIrA, /. r., Dec. 2l.-A deliberate
and cowardly assassination took place
last night at Choteau, station thirty
miles south of here, on the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas railway. Kit Ross, u
half-breed Cherokee, had been in the
company of Jonathan Davis, against
whom it appears he held an old grudge.
As Davis stepped out OF the store of w.
r. Whitaker Ross followed and fired
two shots, both of which took effect in
the victims back. Davis turned, and
running after his assailant, fred at him
twice, but with what effect is unknown.
The wounded man was taken to a house
and medical attention secured, but at
1880 this morning he died. The United
States officers are in pursuit of the muir
derer and, the belief is, will succeed in
capturing him. Davis was a white man,
though a citizen of the Cherokee nation
by adoption, and was u member of the
firm of Elliott & Davis at Cooyh.

MusKoGEE, /. t., Dec ala most
cowanlly murder was committed last
night at Choteau. Johnathan Davis, a
white man married to- Cherokee woman,
had been in town all day making pur-
chases. Between and O'Clock he
gathered up his things in Riley's store
and started out His arm being full, he
could not open the door, and Kit Ross, a
Cherokee, volunteered to open II for him.
This he did, and followed Davis outside
the store for about fifteen steps, when he
pulled his pistol, and fred two shots into
the white mans back without warn
ing or proyocatlon. Davis dropped
his bundles, and pulling his
pistol chased Ross for nearly
200 yards, firing two shots at him, but he
could not tell whether or not che Indian
was hit. Davis managed to get to the
hotel, but his wounds were fatal and he
died about midnight. He was quiet
and peaceable man, and Ross is supposed
to have killed him Just for devilment,
though there is told Of an old feud. While
in the store they were talking and laugh
ing together, apparently the best of
friends. Deputy Marshal helms is after
Ross and will probably bring him in.
