THERE is no more pleasing music than
these jolly songs rs sung by students
and any one who has ever had the oppor-
tunity OF hearing these songs by college
societies, glec clubs, or by groups of stu
dents will not he surprised to learn that
new edition Of Moses Kings collection
has just been issued. Over 10000 copies
have already been sold. This remarka-
bic sale is probably owing to the fact
that nearly all these songs are to be found
IN no other collection. They are all
fresh and copyrighted, and arc the SONGS

of the Postmaster Gegeral on the
effect of the late reduction in our
postal rates OF letters from three to
two cents, renders it it surprising
that this reduction was not ordered
much sooner. 1t was only when
there was a large surplus each year
IN the postal department that it was
put into effect. Able statisticians
calculated the loss that would fol-
low it. By reducing one of the
most importent postal receipts 33
per cent we would cut down the
revenues so many millions, they
said. On the other hand, the re-
duc:ion in rates would have a tend
ency to increase business, and the
growth of population would have
the same effect. There was one
error in the ejaculation. No allow
ance was made for the fact that
many persons who had hitherto
used postal cards would be induced
by the change to seek the privacy
of letters, as the difference in post
age was so small. The new sys-
tenn, therefore, decreased the num-
Der of postals used, and largely in
creased the use Of stamps in their
place. The loss Of the first year
had been calculated at 1867, 592;
it proved to be $500, 900 less.
On the lst of July the new
single weight for letters becomes
an ounce instead of half an ounce ;
in other words, one can send letters
twice as heavy as now for the pres
ent two-cent stamp. According to
old-fashioned ideas a loss should
he expected from this change; but
the postotfice, taught by its late ex-
perience, predicts that there will be
none whatever, for many persons
who formerly sent open packages
will now take advantage Of the
change to send the lighter ones
under seal.
f There are several other new
. postal provisions which have
been provided for and will soon
come into general use, such as the
reduction of newspaper postage and
the immediate delivery letters, by
which, can be secured prompt de-
livery without waiting for the
rounds of the ordinary mail carrier
by affixing new ten-cent stamp or
,, them.
The British postal service, al
,, though confessedly the best in the
world, scarcely passes a year with
out making some change or improv
:, ment. 1t is always progressive
: always find something to improve
r some reduction to make, some ney
service to adopt. We are glad Il
. see the United States following il
u its footsteps. 1t is only by con
# slant improvement that a prope
IS postal service can be secured. w
>, are still far behind Great Britai
in mail matters and with not a fe,
. defects in our system to correc'
e natural, perhaps when the differenc
10 in the size of the two countries
J. considered; but we are constant
# improving and rapidly approachin
perfection.
