New York, April 6.-New York had
q novelty presented in batch OF inn
migrants the other day. Usually their
baggage is a sight for the curious, the
odd looking bags and boxes, trunks
and bundles, always attracted the at
tention of those who, going along the
streets, meet drove of the men and
women who struggle along in mot
ley crowd. But the dandy crowd
came from Naples, and they had no
sooner landed and started for their
railroad than each and all of them
hoisted umbrellas, and in solemn pro-
cession made their way along be-
tween the ranks of astonished specta-
tors. When asked what it all meant,
they said they saw some nice UNI
breIlas in Rome and Naples that
/ were very cheap, and they concluded
that they would be nice in this
country where they had heard rain
sometime falls. The suspicion is,
that they were contract laborers, anc
! that the contractors supplied them
with the umbrellas as means OF
Identification. Well, if that was true,
! he was able to tell them apart with
out trouble, as they kept quite dis
tinct from the army from other sec
tons. AZ
New Postal Order.
The public is expecting much pleas
ure to result from the new regulation
of the poStoffice, whereby a person
will be able to mail letter by special
delivery without buying a special de
livery stamp, but can make up the
delivery stamp with ordinary stamps
The special delivery of letters has
proved to be a great convenience, and
thousands avail themselves of the
privilege; but each and all of them
chafed at the necessity of sending
specially to the postoffice for the
necessary stamps. They had 10 make
a special journey to buy what was
necessary TO insure that Uncle Sam
would send a special messenger with
their letter. Now it can go the same
as any letter. with the added wings
of special messenger
