Intense Suffering in the South.

CHATTANOOGA, TENN, Jan. H.
The cold for the past three days is the
most extraordinary spell of winter
weather ever experienced in this Sec
ton. Yesterday morning it was de-
grees below zero at the Signal Office,
and degrees below at other points in
the city. Last night at 10 O'Clock it
stood at zero, and was falling. Pre-
vious to this spell, the coolest temper.
ature ever recorded was degree below
zero.
Suffering throughout this section is
intense. Railroad traffic is virtually
suspended. The blockade of freight is
causing coal famine. and the prospect
is very gloomy. Three Of the largest
industries are already closed for want
of coal, and unless supply arrives to-
day the situation will be alarming. The
suffering of the poor throughout this
section is very great. Over 500 dis
tressed cases were relieved by the AS
sociated Charities yesterday. Fully
5000 hands are out of employment on
account of the cold weather.

DANGEROUS COMPANIONS.
CHICAGO, Aug. 3.

When a young fellow has made mp
his mind to walk on the edge of preci-
pices for the sake of seeing prospects,
hc always finds plenty of company.
There are abundance of people with
strong heads, who having walked these
paths till they are quite certain of their
foot-hold, are ready to go out with
giddy new beginners. If they acct
dentally lose their heads and fall over.
whose fault is that? Not theirs, of
course. They never fall. They look
where they step, and their heads do
not turn. 1t is not drunkards and
thieves who are dangerous companions
to the green boys just from the city
oh, dear. no! 1t is your respectable
young men that have learned
to sip discrcetly in all sorts of
forbidden fountains. and nibble here and
there carefully of the forbidden fruit.
They are held up rs patterns. They
drink, but are never drunk. They
have exactly the knack Of seeing and
knowing all that there is to be seen
and known in the ways OF wickedness,
and yet keeping even step with the
righteous. Some of them are church
members and Sunday school teachers;
some are shrewd, regular business
men. They are nev, going to hurs
themselves, they tell you, but they be-
lieve in a certain freedom. They never
could see the sense of temperance
pledges. For their part, they don't
need them; and if there is anything
they do aboninate, it's your radical,
straight-laced people, who keep always
in the dusty turnpike for fear Of the
precipice.

ASHINGTO

WASHINGTON, Aug, 4.-The house unani-
mously adopted the following resolution, pre-
sented by Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois:
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Generalt expressions
OF regret are heard among representative men
OF all political parties over the death Of Til
den. His demise is not referred to by any
one As having a bearing on political affairs;
that has long been discounted by his retire
ment from politics. Senators Beck, Vance
anal Gray say the people have lost a true
friend and the government an ardent advo-
cate. No man rendered more con
sistent and patriotic service in the
Legislative and executive branches Of the
government than he. The President at once
sent a message expressing his sorrow 10 s. j.
Tilden, Jr. 1t is understood that Mr.. Tilden
retained to the last his mental faculties bright
and unimpaired. He had been suffering
much from indigestion and loss Of appetite
and the most tempting moisrls that could be
prepared for him were often left untastcI.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.-During the past
twenty-four hours scores OF kilograms have
been received from Texas by delegates in con.
STcss from tndt state In relation
to the threatened outbreak on the
border over the Cutting case. Messrs.
Lanham, Grain ami Others Of the del
egation who heretofore regarded the affair
a. not serious, now say that at least a border
warfare can only be avoided by quick and de-
cisivc steps on the part of both
this and the Mexican government. They
believe the president should at once
renew the demand fox the release of Cutting
and do so in the name Of peace aud to prevent
blood shed. The debate on resolutions from
the committee on foreign affairs is awaited
with interest In the house.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Immediately after
adjournment Of congress this afternoon the
presentation of a testimonial 10 Speaker Car
lisle by Republican members of the house
VIII take place. The testimonial is a very
handsome silver table service, costing $500.

TITO BE CONTINUED
New Design for Postal Cards.

New York Times: The new postal
card design adopted about a year ago
will soon be superseded by another,
which has been prepared at the bureau
of engraving and printing and which
has beer formally approved by Post
master General Villas. When the last
change Of design was made there was
some occasion for haste, and there was
difficulty about getting rid of certain
notions about the card that experience
has removed. Mr.. Villas last year took
the best cf the designs offered. 1t was
an improvement, but still not entirely
satisfactory. The new design will at
one be accepted as an Improvement
upon that now in use. 1t consists of
one piece of engraving instead of two
pieces, rs OH the present card. A head
of Jefferson, a miniature portrait after
the original in the state department,
occupies a central place on the upper
third of the card. Over this head, in
light letters, are the words Limited
States" In panels, supported by scroll
work at the left and right, are the
words, postal card" in distinct let
tiers. Under the head are the words
zone cent" and beneath the border
line inclosing the designation of value
is the line, Nothing but the address to
be written on this side" The design
is graceful and light, and its advantage
owe the old one is the idea of putting
the stamp Of at once side and the des-
ignation of the article at the opposite
side is abandoned to secure an inclu-
sive design with the strongest featur,
of it in the center. The postmaster
general may decide to print the Few
cards on white paper, in black ink, for
the reason that white paper furnishes =
better ground for written characters,
helping the postoliice clerks who are
compelled TO decipher addresses, and
and for the other reason that the brown
ink is complained of by the printers
who use it us more troublesome to OBJ
tain good work with than the same
quality Of black ink. AS there is u
stock of about 1900, 900 postal cards
now on hand it is probable that the
new cards will not be out for \ month
or two.
