NEW POSTAL II

The Postoffice Department ia sup
plying the Offices throughout the
country with the new design Of pos
tai cards.
The card is a double reply one that
is to be sold at the rate of two cents
apiece, and q person can write on the
one sheet TO which is attached an
other and similar card for q reply.
The card is easily separable by means
Of a perforated line between them,
cut about half through the thickness
Of the paper. The stamp in the upper
right hand corner is a portrait Of
General Grant. A five-pointed star
In a small black circle is on either side
of the picture, above which are the
words Message card" and below is
Zone cent"
70 the left of the stamp in black
letters are the words "postal card
with paid reply" below which are
the words Omitted States Of Amer
ica," and underneath this in very
small letters, "This side for address
only" In the lower left hand corner
ia the direction: "Detach annexed
card for answer"
The reply part ia precisely the same
as the message section, except that
the upper part Of the frame around
the portrait bears the words "reply
card" while to the left Of the stamp
the words "Reply postal card" are
substituted The color of the paper
of which the cards are printed is light
manila.
The Postofice Department is also
preparing, and will issue later on, for
use in the international mails, sup
plies of double or reply postal cards
Of the same character as those for
domestic use. the price of which under
special provision Of the Postal Union
Convention, will be four cents. These
cards are transmissable in the mails
to postal union countries in an un-
sealed condition. This card is the
same size rs the domestic one, and is
similar to it in most respects except
that the paper ia of n pearl-gray 0Llor
and the ink used is blue.

Wealth in Walnut Trees.

Seventy-five years ago Thomas L.
Walker, then a mere boy, planted four
walnuts by the roadside opposite his
fathers house in Il Q Eleventh civil dis
trict, near Cedar Buff, and some ten
miles west of kno: vile. He died ten
years ago, yet he ived to see four wal
nut trees grow to Il measure OF four feet
in diameter, worth, if cut and properly
seasoned, at least $500 each. Had he
planted 800 walnuts on an ad joining acre
of ground, his heirs, when he died, would
have been $4,000 better off. To-day
they would be $780, 900 better Oft. Had
he planted ten acres they would be worth
at least $2,00O,O0O. Had he planted 100
acres, and all the trees had reached an
average size of three feet in diameter,
and there is no reason why they shouldnt t,
as the land is fertile and impregated with
lime, his heirs, and there are only three
living, would be worth altogether $780,
100000. If, like old Johnny Appleseed,
who planted thousands of apple trees in
the Northwest, he had planted all the
WORKOUT fields in Tennessee in walnuts
it would be the richest State in the lnion
by far. Knoxville (Tenn.) Journal.

A Fight With CatamOunts.

Two hunters of Alexandria, John
Chilcote and Isaac Swope, met with an
exciting adventure yesterday. The two
hunters have number of traps on Short
and Tussey Mountains. They started
early in the morning, soon striking the
Tussev hills, distance of two miles from
the town. They then shaped their course
westward, their objective point being
known as the Loop a peak 1900 feet
above sea level. In a hollow directly
under this peak they had placed large
trap, and on approaching it they discov-
cred that something had been caught.
Believing it to be a fox or coon, the
hunters placed their guns at the foot OF
tree, and Swope, armed with club,
started to kill the animal in the way best
calculated to preserve its pelt. He was
within few feet of it, when the beast
gave piercing scream OF rage and
fright, and the hunters discovered 1t to
be an enormous catamount.
Swope drew back and Chilcote levelled
his gun to fire, when another wildcat
sprang from the bushes, and terrible
fight followed. The animal alighted
directly on the hunters back, and scratch
ed and bit so tiercely that Chilcote soon
was covered with blood, while his coat
was torn into strips. Swope started to
help his friend, when he stumbled, and
the wildcat in the trap caught his lett
arm in an instant, chewingi it terribly and
decorating his body with its free foretoot'
Though badly hurt, both hunters finally
threw the beasts off and dubbed them to
death.
While surveying their prey they heard
mewing from the bushes, and upon in
vestigation they found a litter of SIX
catamcunts but few days old. The
little animals spit and fought the strangers
bravely, but were easily killed, and, after
dressing their wounds as best they could
the hunters started for home with thei1
game. The largest animal weighed thirty
two pounds, and the other twenty-five
pounds. There is bounty of 81 each
for wildcat scalps. Altoona penn.

People who think that the free-pass
business is carried to extremes in the
United States should note how they do
it in Russia. The Railroad Gazette says
that the Russian railroads have been &C
custoned to give free passes not only to
their employees, but to relative of their
employees, a practice which may have
been heard on this side Of the Atlantic.
The term 'relatives," however, has been
found to be extremely elastic, and re-
Gently the Great Russian Company put
its foot down and issued positive orders
that hereafter passes will be granted to
no other relatives of employees than their
wives, though triaing reduction of
seventy per cent. on the prices of tickets
will be made to parents, brothers and
sisters of employees and of their wives, but
all aunts, cousins and stepmothers must
pay full fares. If your brother receives
q salary of as much as $3.50 from the
company, you can get your discount only
on first-class tickets; if he has from $3.50
to $3.50, you have second-class tickets;
If less than $3.50, third-class tickets.

The record of ship building in New
England for 1891 showed that the sail
sing ship is by no means thing of the
past, even in this country, remarks the
New York ribune. In England the
returns for the same year are even more
suggestive, the tonnage increase of eight
per cent. being all in sailing vessels.
Sailing vessels, moreover, constituted
twenty-five per cent. of the total con-
struction of 1891, against nine per cent.
In 1887. The obvious lesson is that q
profitable field still exists for sailing
ships, and that under certain conditions
they are expected to compete successfully
with steamers.
