The Special Ten Cent Stamp.

WASHINGTON, August 12.-The Post
master General has determined upon
plan for the introduction of the system of
the delivery of letters bearing the special
ten-cent stamp authorized by the last Con-
gress. He issued circular to-day con-
tanning rules for the government of this
new feature of the Postal Service. The
law authorized its introduction in all places
containing more than four thousand inhab-
itants, and at first the Postmaster
General thought it best to limit to a
few of the large cities for the present.
but he finally decided to intro
duced into all the places allowed by law.
There are $50 places in the United States
where this new system will be introduced
BY placing the special stamp on a letter.
in addition to the regular postage, it will
be delivered at once by special carrier upon
its arrival at the Office of destination, and
also will apply to local letters. In this SER
vice special corps of messenger boys
will be employed, and to some extent the
regular carriers. The new system will go
into operation October |.

Xii ed-Rev. Talmage in London.

LONDON, August 15.-Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge was married this afternoon to an
American lady, Amy Auguta jackson
Lawford. The wedding ceremonies were
conducted privately, and a special license
was granted August 10, so that the mar
riage could take place at any time of the
day the parties wished. His Lordship made
the acquaintance of the young lady
on the steamer, returning from his visit to
the United States. The greatest secrecy was
observed by all parties to the affair. Even
the most intimate friends of the Lord Chief
Justice have been kept in the dark with re-
gard to his intentions, and although it had
been repeatedly reported that the nuptal
knot had been tied, it was not until to -day
that the wedding actually occurred. Lord
Coleridge refused to give the slightest in
timation of his intentions to any of the re-
porters, and it was only by keeping close
watch on the parties that the fact of the
marriage to-day was learned.
