THE POSTAL CHANGES.


 At it's last session Congress passed a bill providing for some important changes in the rates of postage. These changes go into ef- feet to-day. By them the charge upon news papers sent to subscribers from the office of publication is reduced from two cents to one cent per pound; a system of special immedi- ate delivery of letters bearing an extra ten cent stamp is to be instituted in the larger cities; and the limit of weight for single-rate postage on letters is made one ounce instead of half an ounce.
 These are all important changes, but per haps the most important is that changing the limit of weight for letters. The half ounce limit has been a great bother, for it has been often difficult to tell whether or not a letter exceeded the limit. Hereafter there will not be so much trouble about the weight of letters. And it is not probable that the Postoffice department will lose much by the change. An investigation made some two years ago showed that fully in the mails do not weigh over half an ounce. Moreover, there is good reason to expect that the loss on the 6 per cent. of heavy letters will be fully made up by the increased post age on small packages of merchandise, which will be sealed and sent as frst-class matter now that rates on such matter are so low.
 This change seems all the more deplorable when look back is taken. Up to 1845 the charges remained as high for single-sheet letter as six cents for distance of less than twenty miles; ten cents between thirty and eighty miles; twelve and half cents between eighty and 150 miles; eighteen and half cents between 150 and 400; and twenty-five cents over 400 miles, with double rates in each case if two sheets of paper were used. The act of 1S45 reduced and simplifsd rates greatly, the half-ounce limit being then in troduced, and the only distinction as to dis tance being that of 300 miles, below which the rate was five cents and beyond it ten. In 1851 the rate was reduced from five cents te three, and the distance limit extended to 5000 miles, while in 1863 the question of distance within the limits of the United States was absolutely waived. The next step forward was taken in 1883, when the letter rate was reduced from three cents to two and this has been followed by the present ex- tension of the limit of weight.
 It is pleasant fact that each change in the direction of cheaper postage has been followed by such an increase in the use of the mails that the immediate loss of revenue has been quickly recovered. There are those who believe that within twenty -four years anybody can send letter anywhere in this country by paying one cent for postage. Con sidering what has already happened this is not very preposterous idea.

A TOngkin% Episode.
From the Saturday Review Gondon).l

From the Saturday Review London(l
 The French soldier in Tongking has shown the old readiness to collapse under the pres sure of defeat, the old sloevnliness in the smaller matters of discipline, the old dissolute conduct to an extent which de6es description in decent language, and the old callous bru- tality which has distinguished him at all periods of his history. On this last point NIT. Scott has one story to tell which may be quoted as unique.
 Three Annamese notables were taken pris- oners at Thai-Nguyen and sentenced to be shot. They were led bound to execution, when this scene ensued: FeThs three had their arms tied all together with a silk sash and were marched out of the citadel, the Yuan phu shrieking piteously and trying to grovel before his guard in a way which would have been heart breaking if it had not been hope less and therefore dastardly. A box of ex- plosive bullets had been found somewhere ID the citadel. Explosive bullets were some what uncommon, and one of the officers gave his revolver to French sergeant, and asked him to try their effect on the prisoners. Just when the party had got into the suburbs the sergeant, while the men were walking, put the revolver behind the doctors ear and fired. quarters of his head were blown away. The other two, III 1as1 ooS- -perate struggle burst the silk scarf which bound them to the corpse and ran, The Tuan-phu was brought down by bullet be, tween the shoulders, and fell, gurgl1ng up blood from the mouth and nose. But the court enissary, who had been calmly scorn- full all this time, ducked to the first shots and bolted round a corner down to the river There were dozen men after him, firing shot after shot, but he was too active and zig gagged like snipe. Unfortunately, the river was before him, and the bank was some feet high where he struck it. He paused Tor second before he leaped, and a French sol dier who had counted on this brought him down. Another shot in the water finished him. Then they went back to where the Tuan-phu, still alive, was struggling convul- sively in the road. It required five more shots to kill him. Five minutes later an or derly came from the generals quarters say ing that he wanted to see the prisoners again to question them" It is characteristic ot the French army that this slevenly and butcherly piece of cruelty was done at the instigation of an officer.

believed to be above LOGO, and by many was placed as low as 800. But already over 5000 applicants have been heard from, and the number promises to reach 4,000. The same sort of thing happened when the pension-ar- rearage system for Union soldiers went into operation, and the results when pensions were voted to all survivors of the war of 1912 and of the Revolutionary war were equally surprising.
 The western society for psychical research which has just been organized in Chicago, on the plan of the English society of the sort, makes promising start. Dr. A.

H. McVicker, Rev. L. P. Mercer and Judge W. K. McAllis- ter of Chicago, J. B. Young of Marion, Iowa, and F. A. Nins of Muskegon, Wisconsin. The management comprises five lawyers, four doctors, three clergymen, three editors, one chemist, one theatrical manager and the su- perintendent of the Chicago Atheneum. The society is assured support from every leading religious sect and from spiritualists, materi- alists and agnostics.
 A curious case has been engaging the at tention of the English court for the consider ation of crown cases. A man named Ash well asked a friend to lend him shilling. The latter gave him what both-it being dark supposed to be shilling, but which was in fact sovereign. The next morning the lender, having discovered the mistake, demanded the coin back. Meanwhile, Ashwel had got it changed, spent part of it and refused to give back the amount. It appeared that he had found the piece to be a sovereign an hour after receiving it, but he insisted that as he had borrowed only shilling he was not bound to return more. Ashwen was arrested and tried for larceny On one side it WAS argued that there could be no larceny within the meaning of the law without guilty knowledge and criminal in- tent at the time of taking the thing in dis pute. On the other it was maintained that if one honestly gets possession through mistake of what does not belong to him, and refuses to restore it when the mistake is dis covered and the property demanded by the owner, the act amounts to larceny. Lord Coleridge announced that the court would take time to prepare careful opinion.

If you come on Monday we shall be able to show you every item as advertised, (and many more like them,) but we cannot un- dertake that they will all hold out to the end of the week. We hope not.

A Great Victory A Terrible Case of Scrofula
 Cured by
 Hoods SarsaparilIa

"In the winter of 1879 was attacked with Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms. At one time had no less than thirteen large abscesses over and aroundm neck and throat, continually exuding an offensive mass or bloody matter disgusting to behold, ana almost intolerable to endure. It is impossible to fully describe my sufferings, as the case was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After three years of misery, having been treated by three physicians, I was worse than ever. Finally. on the recommendation of W. J. Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, I was induced to try Hoods Sarsaparilla. And now, after having taken twelve bottles, within the last twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have entirely ceased, and the abscesSeS have all disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and beautifully 1ess.' I do not know what it may have done for others, but l do know that in my case, Hoods Sarsaparilla has proved an my gratitude I send these facts unsolicited, and am ready to verify the authenticity of this cure, by personal Correspondence with any one who doubts it." CHARLES 4. ROE ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.

 The idea of cremation has gained firm hold in Buffalo. The Buffalo people have three-feurths of the stock of 0 cremation company subscribed, have bought a large lot on Delaware avenue, and are determined to have the building erected and ready for use before winter. They have adopted the process known by the name of it's inventor, Joseph venini of Milan, Italy, which is that in use in that and other Italian cities. MT. Venini has advised with them in regard to their plans, and is expected to visit Buffalo to superintend the construction of it's fur naces.
 A movement to have the admission of New Mexico into the Union at the next ses- sion of Congress is reported, but it is thought l by some to be only an indirect effort towards the admission of Dakota by causing general discussion of the admission of Territories.

Secretary Trevslyan Expresses His Op~
position to the Home Rule Scheme.
LONDON. Dec. 30.-Earl Cowper, who
was Lord Lieutenanto OF Ireland from May
8, 1880, until April 28, 1892, under ex@
Premier Gladstone's administration, has
written 10 the Times In regard TO the Irishi
question. Earl Cowper says: Home
Rule for its own sake Is not desired by the
Irish. ANY one can see by perusal OF
Irish newspapers published during my.
own term OF Office In Ireland that they do
not reveal a single mention Of the Home
Rule scheme. but are solely involved in
discussing the question OF rents. The
late Isaac Butt, who may be called
the originator OF the Ma
tional and Home Rule movement,
and William Shaw, ex-member OF Parlia-
plent, for the city OF Limerick. who was
a member Of the Home Rule League, but
withdrew from that body in December.
1881, failed 10 attach the Irish people 10
their schemes, and Mr.. Parnell viii meet
with the same fate except In an appeal to
their pockets. The strike against the pay
ment OF rent will soon be a bigger diii-
Guilty Tor the government 10 deal with
than was ever the Home Rule question:.
and must eventually interfere with Impe-
rial interests.
Mr.. IreNetYan also SAID ne was Wiling
that fairly-elected Irish council be given
control OF education, public works, and
the poor laws, and that additional money
be raised by taxation II more than the
exchequer supplied should be required.
TREvELYAS's OPPOSITION.
George O. Trevelyan, formerly Chiee
Secretary for ireland, made speech at
Stratford this evening. Referring TO th0
Irish question, he said that there could be
no half way between complete separation
OF Ireland and absolute imperial control
unless twas intended TO keep the care on
the law and order In the hands Of the GEN.
tral government, 1t would be better 10 re-
peal the union act. He condemned tina
proposition 10 give Ireland a Parliament,
and az the same time allow Irish members
in the English Parliament.
IRISH NOT TO DICTATE.
Edward stanhope, Vice President OF the
council, in n speech to-day. said: "Eng-
llshmon will not allow Irishmen 10 die
tate what policy IL best for the welfare
and interests CT the nation. Many per-
sons are anxious to promote discussion,
Of the Irish question with a view Of
securing an alteration OF the constitution,
root and branch; but 10 Is % be hoped that
the wisdom OF the members Of the House
OF Commons Will prevent their designs
from being accomplished"
