Changes in Postage Rates.
The following changes in postage rates
went into effect May 1 :
The postage on all second class matter is
two cents per pound.
Periodicals bound in board,‘cloth, leather
or other substantial binding, such as dis-
tinguish printed books for preservation from
periodical publications, cannot pass in the
mail at the pound rates. .
- The limit of weight 'to four pounds is
waived in the case of a single book weighing
more than that limit. Circulars can be ad-
dressed, dated, signed,- and typographical
errors corrected in writing, and the postage
will be one cent for each two ounces instead
of one cent for one ounce 'as heretofore.
Proof sheets and corrected proof sheets,
and manuscript copy accompanying the same
may be‘sent in the mail at the rate of one
cent for each two ounces. (This provision
does not admit manuscript unaccompanied
by the proof sheet.)
There may be placed upon the cover or
blank leaves of any book or of auy‘printed
matter of the third class a simple manuscript
dedication or inscription that does not par.
take of the nature of a personal correspond-
cuce.
Upon any package of matter of the fourth
class the sender may write or print his own
name and address, preceded by the word
“from,” and there may also be written or
prihted the number and names of the articles
enclosed ; and the sender thereof may write.
or print upon or attach to any such articles
by tag or label a mark, number, name or.
letter, for purpose of identification.

A New Thing in Postal Facilities.
The PostmastenGeneral is authorized to
offer to the public the double postnlcard,
the double envelope, and the envelope let-
ter sheet. The two former are intended to
provide for sending an answer to a message
or letter upon.tlic same card,or under the
same envelope. The double postal card will
be of the same size as the present, but with
two stamps, one on each upper Corner, and
will, of course, be sold for two cents. - The
stamp on the right hand corner is canceled
when the card goes through the mail the
first time and the other on its return.
The original sender writes his communica-
tion on the back, and the address of his
correspondent on the face; the latter ap-
pends his auswer, efies his own address,
and writes that of the person who scntit.
to him. The double envelope also has two
stamps placed as on the postal card, itsfly
is gummed in two places. and between them
isaline of perforations. The sender, in—
stead of closing a stamp to pay return pos-
tage, uses one of these envelopes, writing
the address on the right hand end of the
envelope, and seals it by moistening the gum
on the outer edge of the flap. The receiver
cuts through the line of perforations, and
the envelope is opened. Enclosing his
' answer, he seals it as usual, and writes the
address of his correspondent on the left hand
end. The envelope sheet is a sheet stamped
on the back like a stamped envelope, and
so arranged that it can be folded and scaled
without using an enveIOpe. Its advantage
are economy, and also the convenience, cs—
pccially in the care of papers that may be
used in evidence in legal proceedings of
having proof of the time of its receipts by i:s
attachment to the document itself. '
It is believed that these changeswill prove
advantageous to the business public.
Intellect of“ Brutes.
Mr. A. Petric writes: “In my own family
we had a tabby cat who,'when turned out,
would let herself < in at another door by
. climbing up some list nailed round it, then
pushing up the click latch, pushing the door,
with herself hanging on it, away from the
post, so as to prevent the latch, falling back
into its place, and then dropping» down and
walking back to the fire. I knew a Skye
terrier who, being told to carry a fishing rod,
carefully experimented along its length to
find its center of gravity, then carried it on
till his master came to a narrow path through
a wood. Here Skye considered, dropped
the rod, took it by the end, and dragged it
under him lengthwise till the open road .was
gained, when he took the rod by the center
of gravity again and went on. This could
not be a copy of human actions, but the
regulta of original reasoning.” Mr. Henry
Cecil gives the following on the authority of
the late Mr. Dawes, the astronomer: “Being
busy in his garden,,and having a large bunch
of keys in his hand, he gave it to a retriever
to hold for him till he was at liberty. Going
into the house soon after he forgot to reclaim
the keys. The remembrance of what he had
done with them only returned to him when
required to use them in the evening. He
then recalled that he had given them to the
dog, and forgotten to take them again. Call-
iug him, and looking impressively in his
face, he said, “My keys I fetch me my keys 1’"
The‘ dog looked wistful and puzzled for a
moment, and then bounded off to the garden,
his master following. He went straight to
the root of an apple tree, scratched up the
keys, and brought them. May we not fairly
put into words the do ’ train of reasoning
thus: “My master has given me these keys
to hold; he has forgotten them; I cannot
carry them all day; but I must put them in
safety where I can find them again ?” Mr. R.
Howson sends us the story of a terrier-like
dog of no particular breed, named Uglymug,
who had a poodle for a companion. ‘ When—
ever Uglymug saw signs ‘of a family meal
being laid out, he inveigled the poodle into a:
labyrinthine shrubbery under pretense of
seekiug'for rats, and when the latter was
fairly intent on its game, Uglymug sneaked
back to enjoy all by himself what he could
get from the family table—Nature.

Phosphorescent writing paper is claimed
to be one of the latest novelties. Writing
done upon it can be read in the dark as easy '
as ordinary writing ink can be read in the
day time.
H.—.—-—————-
The first lead pencils ever made in Ameri-
ca. were manufactured by Wm. Monroe, at
Concord, m., in 1811. Subsequently he
established a large manufactory for them
which he continued until {his retirement.
from the [business in 1848. Thesepencils
for many years were the best and'almost the
.991: 911.in used in this country.
_, Exports-and Imports
The March ‘ returns of the Bureau of Sta-
tistics indicates that the tide of trade is be—
ginning to set against this country again,
the imports having increased and the ex-
ports decreased. During the month the total
imports were $41,917,526, against $37,037.-
871 for March of list year, an increase of
more than four and a quarter millions, not
a large amount in comparison with the ag~
gregate. The exports for the same period
were $66,116,218, 'a decrease of some $5,—
000,000 over the corresponding month of
last preceding year. Since last Novem—
ber the increase in imports as compared with
the corresponding months of the last pre-
ceding year was $8,251,760. The amount
is not large, but enough to indicate that the
tide vvhich for several years has been
flowing steadily eastward has passed its
flood and is now reacting. For the past
four months the comparative decrease in
exports is $20,498,229, which would indicate
for the year a falling off of $60,000,000.
This change can be easily accounted for
without cause for uneasiness. The hard
timesJu this country resulted in cutting
down our imports and in restricting home
consumption.- Naturally a greater effort
was made for foreign custom and it met
with a favorable response. Now, while we
are rejoicing in the dawning of a better day.
England, Germany, and to a lesser degree,
France, are struggling with hard times, and
denying themselves the luxuries imported
from abroad. The easier condition here is
shown in the slowly increasing import trade
and in the enlarged home market for do-
mestic productions. Our exports, however,
still remain largely in excess of the imports
and it will take the returning tide sometime
to change the so—callcd “balance of trade."
During the first four months, notwithstand—
ing the changes noted, the exports have
exceeded the imports by $114,694,000 ; and
taking the past nine months, there has been
an ‘_actual gain of $26,000,000 in the excess
of exports over imports as compared with
last (year. The movement of specie has
been about equal both'ways, the «excess of
imports over exports being only $161,945,
against an adverse excess of $3,000,000 last
year.
W
South Carolina Confesses.
A number of South Carolina democrats are
under indictment for stutling ballot boxes and
other offences against the election laws.
They are Soon to be tried, and the dem-
ocratic press of the State is appealing for
money to defray the expenses of the trials
and to pay the fines if they should happen
to be convicted. To subscribe is declared to
be a duty to the party, to men who have in—
curred somé risk in its behalf, and also essen-
tial as a matter of policy, for men will not
expose themselves to the danger of prosecu—
tion and conviction for any party unless they
are sure that their friends, who have profited
by their acts, will stand by them and help
them out of their trouble, if they are so un-
fortunate as to fall into the clutches of the
aw. Prominent democratic lawyers are
urged to come forward and defend the accus-
ed, aud the Charleston News and Courier
frankly admits that democratic supremacy is
at stake. “The plain truth.” it says, "is that
that the democratic party will be. badly beaten
in several counties at the next election unless
the communities which enjoy the advantages
of democratic rule uphold and defend the
stalwart democrats who ‘ran the innchiuc'
last autumn." The democrats are reminded
that the Republicans paid the fine imposed
upon Pcndergrass,‘ who because of his testi—
mony before the Teller committee was indict-
ed fo.‘ libel: He wrote to a Washington
paper an account of the fraudulent proceed-
ings of the democrats and as a warning to
others was punished for it. A “vast amount
of unpleasant work,” says the News, must be
done in every direction to enable the demo-
crats to keep possession of the State govern-
ment. “Unpleasant work” is a mild phrase
for ballot box stuffing and intimidation, but
the admission that it is necessary is a con-
fession that with a fair and free election
South Carolina was and is a Republican State.
As the Worcester Spy well says:
There is not a county in South Carolina
that is not Republican on a fair vote, and
there is not a democratic editor in South
Carolina who would think of pretending to
doubt it except for effect in other States.
Their own people know the fact well enough
that democratic victories are won there only
by such unpleasant work as in any country
where law is emphatically and vigorously
administered would send those who do it to
the penitentiary. The national election laws
have some effect in making that work un-
pleasant and dangerous in South Carolina as
in New York, and therefore the democratic
party will make any effort and any sacrifice
to secure the repeal of those laws. Repub-
licans ought to understand that no concession
on this point can be made without disgrace
and disaster.

Mfshaps of a Night.
‘An old and well-known citizen of New-
port, whom we'will designate as the Colonel,
hadaseries of mishaps the other night on
account of an obstinate and irreclaimable
door latch, which were very distressing.
Returning with his wife from a party at
about midnight, he found that for some in-
explicable reason his pass key would not
unlock the door. To add to his perplexity
three of his dogs, that had been locked in
the house, rushed to the hall (10°! and 80‘
up the most furious barking, under the
thin pretense of mistaking their master for
a burglar. Sly dogs! they knew better. no
doubt, but wanted to get credit for zeal in
protecting the house from burglars. The
Colonel says, had real burglars assailed
the domicile, the dogs would probably 11“"
[Jumpetl through a window and tied for their
lives.
He fumbled away at the door for some
time, now blessing the lock 'aud again
launching imprecalions at the dogs. “Cou-
found this key—shut up, you whelpsl—
wish the man who put on this lock had to
swallow—curse the ,dogs l—I’ll break the
head of that locksmith—dry up, or 1’" about
every son of a gun of you 1"
The Colonel’s wife interposed, and re—
minded him that swearing wouldn’t make
the matter any better, adding that the neigh-
bors would surely hear him, as several had
raised their windows in the vicinity already.
A truce was called and a ocuncil of war held.
'His wife said she could get in a back win—
dow if she could gain the roof of the kitchen,
and the Colonel set to work erecting a stag—
ing under the eaves. This was constructed
on empty barrels and boxes surmounted by
atin boiler. On this precarious structure
they mounted, but just as he had succeeded
in helping her on to the roof the platform
gave way, and the Colonel was sprawled on
the ground, the dogs, who had found their
way into the kitchen, redoubliug their up-
roar and hurling themselves against the
kitchen door in the most reckless manner.
This action on the part of the dogs made
the Colonel madder than anything else, for
, once when a burglar really made an attempt
to break into the house, every dog he had
run and hid in the cellar. The newly de—
veloped zeal in defense of the castle was
quite overdone. ‘ ,
Another dilemma arose. His wife found
that she was unable to open ,the window
and she wanted to get down, but thebar-
rels and boxes by which she had mounted
were crushed under the Colonel’s weight
and were not again available. “Stay where
you are," cried the Colonel, “and I will go
and fetch a ladder.” '
There was an engine house a couple of
squares away, and going there be borrowed
a ladder, when, divesting himself of a coat
and vest, for being a fat man he was per-
spiring freely from his efferts, he should~
ered the ladder and started back. On the
way he met most of the people who had
been at the party, and they, recognizing
the Colonel, wondered what strange freak
had seized him that he should he lugging
a ladder along the street in that queer at—
tire. Some—for there are uncharitable
people, always—chuckled and said they
reckoned the Colonel had taken too much
of their host’s wine. But it was no time
for him to stop for explanations. Arrived
at the house be planted the ladder at! th
front and started to climb up to the second
. story window. Just as he reached the win-
dow his two daughters arrived from’ the
party with their escorts, and not recogniz—
ing the stout man in his shirt sleeves as their
father, but supposing him to beaburglar,
they set up a simultaneous scream, while
their beaux yelled for the police. The dogs
turned in and did their best, too,,and in a
momentary lull a woman’s voice might have
been heard calling for help from the back
roof.
The Colonel made himself known at length
and the situation was explained. He laughs
when he relates this singular combination of
untoward circumstances now, but he didn’t
see any fun in it at the time.
Ontdone by a Boy.
A lad in Boston, rather small for his
years, works in an office as errand boy for
four gentlemen who do business there.
One day the gentlemen were chafllng him
. a little about being so small, and said to
him.
f‘You never will amount to much you
never can do much business, you are too
small.”
The little fellow looked at them:
“Well," said he, “as small as I am I can
do something which none of you four men
can do.”
“Ah, what is that ?” said they.
"I don’t know'as I ought to tell you," he
replied. But they were anxious to know,
and urged him to tell what he could do that
none of them were able to do.
“I can keep from wearing I" said the
little fellow. There was some blushing on
four manly faces and there seemed to be
little anxiety for. further information on the
point. .
A Good Example.
The praisewortby example of' the wife of
the President of the United States, in con-
nection with the social. life of the White
House, has been and continues to be an in-‘
flueutial aid to the cause of temperance. An
elegant state dinner was given recently by
the President and Mrs. Hayes, attended by
a large number of distinguished guests, at
which wine was “Conspicuous by its ab-
sence.” The Washington 1coucsp0ndent of
the New York Tribune, referring to the
dinner, says: “The guests and Mrs. Hayes
discoursed with great good nature on the
absence of wine from the table. Said a
witty Senator, ‘I did not know'dinner could
be so delightful without wine. In fact, I
never knew before that water-was so good.’ "
Such an example on the part of the host
and hostess of the White House will prop-
agate itself downward, and exert directly
ly and indirectly a powerful influence for
good upon the social life of the whole coun-
try.
That is a very ingenious gentleman,a dem-
ocratic lawyer of Charlston, S. 0., 'who
urges the colored brother to vote the dEmo-
cratic ticket for the following reasons:
Each of you represents $900; you would '
have brought that sum in 1860. 'You were
freed without our consent, and now, if you -
will vote the [democratic ticket, we‘ will
make the Yankees pay for you, and then we
will give you half the money. There stands
old Uncle Jim. He has a wife'and eight
children, for which the North will have to
pay me $9,000, one-half of' which I will
give him, and the balance I will keep.
Then he will be independent, and hot de-
pendent upon the cold charities of the world.
This, my dear colored friends. is a practical
solution of the “forty acres and a mule”
question, and you will some day be lifted
from your poverty by your old masters.
Only vote the democratic ticket, and we will
soon be independent of the contemptbile
Yankees. '
