The United Postal congress. which

way Of simplifying the postal transac-
lions of the world: Following is an

work of the congress: The principal
treaty which excludes the entry OF
Corea into the postal union; the dec-
laration of the Orange Free state.

Washington, that it hoped soon to en-
ter the union; and the declaration OF
the Chinese empire, which was repre-
scented in the congress, that it will OBJ
serve the regulations of the union as
soon as the organization of its service
permits. The Intermediary transit
rates have been facilitated. and the
tariff diminished materially on a grad
uated scale for the ensuing six years
Uniform colors have been projected

machine (typewritten) in quantities OF
twenty circulars, all OF the same char
acter, are admitted to the internation-
al mails at the same rates as printed
circulars. Samples of merchandise
are admitted up to $50 grammes Oh
1ects OF natural history, animals. dried
plants, or preserved geological speci-
mems, are admitted as samples. The
question Of the creation Of a universal
postage stamp was brought up. and
the proposition was defeated on ac-
count OF the difficulty which would oc-
