A NEW WRINKLE.
The Law for Special Postal Deliveries to
be Tested In the Fall-The New Special
Stamp for the Purpose.


The Law for Special Postal Deliveries to
be Tested In the FaII--The New Special
Stamp for the Purpose.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July 12.-It has
been stated that the Postal Department
VIII make trial of the special delivery
OF letters by messenger boys in New
YORK and Philadelphia before undertake
ing to extend the plan to other cities, but
the statement was not authorized by the
Postal Department. 1t is true that the
Department does not intend to introduce
the new plan of delivery in all the au-
thorized offices until there has been a sat-
isfactory test of its feasibility on small
er scale. 1t is realized that there is at
least chance that it may prove imprac-
ticable or more expensive than an aver
age postage of ten cents will meet, SO it
is thought prudent to give it a trial in
few of the large cities of the country be-
fore Its general Introduction is or
dered. This is about all that has
been decided by the Postmaster
General, but General Hazen, the third
assistant, thinks the plan Will be tried
simultaneously III NEW IOrk, bOSlON,
Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis, Gin
cinnati and possibly few more of the
great cities of the country. When the
trial will begin can not be learned at the
Department, because the date has not
yet been fixed. 1t is not thought at all
likely that 1t will be before the first of
September and there are some reasons
why it may not be before the first of Oc-
tober, as the advantage of opening new
accounts at the beginning of new quar-
ter may incline General Villas to delay
beginning even after all the preparations
are complete.
A design for the special ten cent STAN p
to be used for this delivery was approved
by the Postmaster-General on Friday
and has gone to the American Bank
Note Company who have the stamp
printing contract The stamp will be
about twice the size of the ordinary
postage stamp and the shape of dol
lar bill. On the left of the stamp there
is a pretty vignette of messenger boy
in uniform. Across the top are the
words Omitted States special postage
delivery" and along the bottom the
price of the stamp, ten cents, is ex-
pressed in figures and letters. Con-
spicuous on the body of the stamp are
the words s'secures Immediate delivery
at special delivery office" The whole
design Is very pretty and effective.

PRINCE KARAGEORGEWTcH,

George and his band of -throafs
headed the insurrection. The reA
suit we all know. He was named
Prince of Servia, and triumphantly car
ried on in that rank the explo Is which
had earned his reputation. His rival,
Milan Obrenoyitch, the pig-dealer,
formed conspiracy, and surprised
him at village hahn or pot-house.
Such was the dread men felt of Black
Georges prowess that though the MUIR
derers numbered over twenty they
dared not assal him, even sleeping.
Obrenovitch and his bravest comrade
stole in. and, standing one on either
side the couch, slashed those terrible
arms with a Simultaneous cut as they
Law relaxed in slumber; but more than
one assassin was crushed to death he
fore the gallant ruf1ian succumhed.
Obrenovitch succeeded him, but he
proved more bloodthirsty, in acold and
cruel way, than his predecessor. The
people rose at length and recalled the
dynasty Of Black George. Prince
Alexander, who has just died, came to
the throne, but if he bore q striking
similarity to his father in some respects
he did not show such shrewdness. A
plot among his officers rid the country
of him without bloodshed to speak of,
as things go in Servia. The son OF
Milan succeeded, but he was murdered
while walking with some ladies in the
neighborhood of his palace. How

These switches are from four to seven

They are then taken to the strip

then placed in peculiar little machine

inches. Passing along on the table
they are placed one by one in the strip

WASHINGTON D. G., July l2.-There Is
much favorable comment on the Presi.
dents order sending General Sheridan In
person to deal with the Cheyennes, as it
is generally believed his work will be in
the main diplomatic-just the sort OF
duty for which his past Indian experience
peculiarly fits him. Secretary Endicott
said that General Sheridan would not
take personal command OF the campaign
against the Indians. The Secretary did
not believe there would be any campaign,
or that the General would have chance
TO repeat any Of his notable expl9 rs.

It is sublime; the most comprehensive,

Janisch is hugging q mean on the
stage, of course be it her father, hel
