The New Postal Laws.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The post
master general has issued a circular order
to postmasters explanatory of changes
made by congress at the last session in the
rates Of postage. Postmasters are in
formed that on and after July l the rate
on all domestic first-elass matter, includ-
ing drop letters at letter carrier post Off
ccs, will be two cents per ounce or a frac-
ton thereof, instead of two cents per half
ounce This change will apply on mail to
Canada, but not to other foreign mails.
To provide for the wants that may arise
from the change in the rate on second
class matter and on newspapers mailed by
publishers from two cents to one cent per
pound, the department has decided to
issue newspaper and periodical stamps of
the denomination Of one cent, the design
and color of which will be the same as
those of the present series. They will be
ready for issue on June !.
The postmaster general has not yet
found time to form a plan for giving effect
to the congressional enactment providing
for the use OF the special delivery at
specified post Offices

PANAMA, April 27.-The American
troops under command of McCalla, began
to withdraw from the city last night,
under agreement with Aizpuru and the
French consul. The evacuation of the
city destroys American prestige here.
There has been wild rejoicing among the
insurgents and sympathizers with them,
and property owners anticipate serious
trouble. Americans are called towards
and threats were heard on every side to-
day. The American troops withdrew to
the Panama railway station. Gen, Aiz-
puru guaranteed to preserve order in the
city, but the insurgents again began the
work of barricading the streets.
PANAMA, April 27.-The city is quiet.
The moral effect Of the occupation by
American forces has been very great. Not
a shot has been fired since. The Colon
bian troops from the south are expected
to arrive here this evening. An excited
meeting was held on Sunday. Solutions
speakers were stopped, under pain of
arrest, by Aizpuru.
PANAMA, April 27.-The whole repub-

effort is being made again to render Colon
habitable. Immense orders for lumber

A Vote of Credit

-H tA~tAAkA&H "a
the house of commons, in bringing up the
subject of the vote ofcredit, of$55, 900, 900
asked for by the government on the army
and navy account, said he hoped that the
motion to divide the credit would not be
passed, for the government, he said,
would not devote any portion of the mon
ey voted for a particular purpose for use in
the Soudan but would reserve discretion
10 apply the money taken for the Soudan
account for purposes ofspecial preparations.
He urged that the house vote the govern
ment the entire $50, 900, 900.
The proposal to separate the Soudan
credit from credit for special prepare
tons was rejected by a vote of 229
against 1876. The house then entered
into committee of supplies, and Mr.. Glad
stone proceeded to explain the object Of
the vote of credit. The premier's speech
indicated he was suffering much from
h~oarseness.
LONDON, April 27.-Thc credit Of $685.
600, 600 was voted by the house Of com
mons alter one of the most powerful and
telling speeches ever delivered by Mr..
Gladstone. The premier was cheered to
the echo both during the delivery and at
the close Of the speech. He was enthus-
iastically cheered when leaving the house
after the speech.
When Mr.. Gladstone was asked whether
the government would endeavor to have
the dispute with Russia referred for arbi-
trament to the United States of America,
Mr. Gladstone answered: ''The govern
ment are quite Jensible Of their heavy re-
sponsibility to maintain the honor and
good faith of the country on the one
hand, and on the other to use every means
consistent with honor to avoid war. l
can give no more particulars. This ut
terance was accepted as significant, and
was received with cries Of Hear, hear.
In moving the vote of credit, Mr..
Gladstone said that the government con-

Memory and Understanding.

One fact or principle clearly

working philosophy of life, is better
than yards of facts and principles
rolled glibly and specifically off
the tongue as the prestidigita tors
pull the tape, apparently from their
mira culous mouths. l think close
observation and increasing study
convince unprejudiced minds that
the rote system almost inevitably
neglects the substance, and gives
the impression that the symbol is
the vital thing. There is frequently
no connection between reeiting we'll
and understanding we'll. Tsachine
which begins with memorizing rules
is the cart before the horse method.
1t has been we'll said that men did
not wait until Aristotle construct

I refer to the field of e]eyating ana

of it, to familiarIze it with tie best |

to connect it with the great sayings
from great authors long before it is

wisdom. The child as well as the

self and education. To live in an
atmosphere of fine music, or fine

the comp anionship of noble thoughts

our lives. [ should be glad to see

each dav to- memorlzing and recit-
ing such thoughts. It is unques-
tionabIe a part Of the business OF
