II ft off oc of Cattle Thieves Dispersion of the UanK. Wc copy the following from the Galveston Bulletin: By a gentleman who came as passenger on the steamship Harlan yesterday from Indianola, we learn the following particulars In relation to the banging of a portion and dispersion of the balance of a gang of horse and cattle thieves in Matagorda county: It appears from his statement that there has been, for the last twelve months, an organized gang in the counties of Matagorda, Wharton, and Jackson, who have been engaged in the stealing of horses and cattle, and who have not scrupled, at limes, to put out of the way individuals who had rendered themselves obnoxious, to the gang. At first their operations were carried on with a certain amount of secrecy, but at last they be came emboldened and arrived at the conclusion that the entire community stood In fear of them and would not dare to interrupt them. Un scrupulous parties were found who were willing to purchase the hides of the slaughtered beeves, and by this means they were enabled to reap an immediate return from their villainy. Com plaints were, however, at last made against them, and warrants were placed in the hands of the Sheriff of Matagorda county for their arrest, which they managed to avoid, being notified of the fact, by escaping to another county. At list, stung to desperation, citizens of the three counties, numbering one hundred or more, comprising those of the first standing,, determined, if possible, to put a stop to their depredations, and having organized, started in pursuit of them. The gang having received notice of their intention, scattered, but on the 20th ult. they came upon four of the number with a large number of bides in their possession, whom they made prisoners, and who acknow ledged their crimes without hesitation; three of whom were, after a full confession, hanged where they were taken, and the fourth released after much pleading or promise 01 lmmeuiateiy leaving in the county. The names of those hung were B. V. Lunn, Eddie Lunn, and John Smith, a brother of the latter being released. The party then proceeded to the house of a Colored man named Joe Grimes, who was , known to be one of the gang, and where they expected to find W. W. Lunn, also known as one of the ringleaders. On riding up to the house, Grimes, who was within, opened the door and fired upon the party, killing one of their number. . He was, however, captured and hung. W. W. Lunn is supposed to be still in the coun'y, having been accidentally wounded in the knee by the discharge of his own pistol. A i eward of 1000 is offered for his apprehen sion. Two or three members of the gang, find ing themselves pursued, went to the residence of the Sheriff for the purpose of surrendering themselves, but he being absent from home they deemed it imprudent to remain, and when last heard from were cross ing the Sabine river into Louisiana. Our infor mant states that at points on the Trespalacios piles of slaughtered beeves have been found, numbering in one instance as many as eight hundred head. At other points huge piles of burned bones have been found, that method having, been employed to destroy the animals killed. Finding the nelghborhoad of the Tres palacios too hot for them, they removed their operations to the Carankaway, where they erected a slaughter-house, pens, etc., the former being immediately over the bank of the stream, Into which the animals were thrown as fast as killed and their hides stripped from them. In addition to the stealing above mentioned, it is known that three colored and two white men have at different times been killed by the gang, the victim, in one instance, having been a boatman, supposed to have money with him, who was killed, a stove attached to his neck, and his body thrown into the creek. Our in formant also states that one individual is known to have purchased five hundred of the stolen hides since the 28th day of May. Our informant is a gentleman of standing in his community, and his statements are vouched tor by gentlemen of this city, well known to ns as wholly reliable. He stated to ns that Mr. Conrad Franz, the Sheriff of Matagorda county, had used every exertion to capture the gang, but without success. i AMERICA AND TUE POPE. Archblsbep Bpauldln and the Infallibility From the Baltimore Catholie Mirror. . The reverend clergy of this diocese have elgnad an address to the Most Rev. Archbishop, which wa are ktndlv permitted to codv. This document speaks for itself; there is in it no at tempt at rhetorical display; its language breathes that love and confidence that the father and friend commands. Yet the expressions of the signers' opinion on the great subject which en grosses the attention of the Catholic world are unmistakably clear. There is no doubt, no hesi tancy, but a positive affirmation of the truth. It will he a source of gratification to the Catholic community as well as to our venerable Arch Lishon to know that the clergy of the diocese of Baltimore is a nnit on a question whleh, unhap pily, has divided many a diocese. We give below the address, with the names of tna reverend genuemen wno naa signed it up to toe time ot our taxing tne copy, i uesaay noon. As it was desirable that the address should be forwarded by Thursday's mall, a copy has been retained by the Very Kev. Dr. Coskery, to whom the reverend clergymen who wish to give their adhesion to thU testimonial of love and confi dence are respectfully invited to forward their names. The copy, with the new names ap pt nded, will be forwarded to the Archbiohop at a later day: TJ . .. V.ait nt S3 Ptr Anil Panl 1U7rt Dear Archbishop Spalding: Whether secular or religious, there is not in your diocese a priest who does not feel proud of his Archbishop, on account oi nla course in tne great Vatican coun cil in relation to the "infallibility" question. We know that this assurance Is not necessary to one whose sense of duty is his only motive of action; but wo know also that this unprompted expression of cordial concurrence on the part of your priests, whom your unvarying paternal Klii tinea i has laugnt w tovo juu, iua wuuui you have ever honored by soliciting, valuing, and treating with deference their advice. If, dear Archbishop, all America has a right to feel proud of him who so deservedly hold the first place amongst her prelates, surely your immediate clergy may deem tnemseives at liberty to give expression to their feelings. As often as we shall in future bear proclaimed llbillty of Peter's successors, a dogma which Christ himself proclaimed more than eighteen centuries ago, we shall think with pride of the eealoua and able advocacy which our own Archbishop gave to ' the defini tion of a dogma the proclamation of which, we feel assured, will give to religion throughout the world a powerful impulse and renewed vigor of growth. God loves to see His words and revelations noticed; the definition of the Immaculate Conception of the B. V. M. has been followed by a degree of religious pros perity" unknown to any previous age of Chris tianity; to the definition of the infallibility of Peter's successors we confidently look forward for an equally consoling result. We have, dear Archbishop, the honor and happiness to subscribe ourselves the priests of your diocese. . ' A MAN BURIED ALIVE, i I Swallowed up la a (inlrksaadHerale Effort to 8ay the Victim How the Accident Oc curred. A correspondent of the Kansas Journal says: This afternoon the citizens of Silver Lake were shocked by the Intelligence that a man, by the name of Price Roberts, was partially burled in a well out on Big Soldier. In com pany with Dr. Ward and others of this place, I repaired to the scene of disaster. The circum stances are as follows: Mr. Elmore Randall engaged Mr. Roberts to dig him a well. When he had it sunk to the depth of twenty-five or thirty feet, he commenced curbing with rather frail material, using grapevines secured by boards. When at the depth of forty feet having dug five feet below his curbing, he was urged by Mr. Randall and his friends to come out; but, having struck water, he was anxious to secure the prize. Shortly afterwards Mr. Ran dall's ears were startled with the cry for help. Seizing the windlass, they dragged him np about fifteen feet, when the treacherous curbing gave way, forcing him to one side and under the bank, breaking his hold and entangling his legs in the curbing. Buried up to his chin, and with the fearful prospect of another slide every mo ment. Mr. Randall, with heroic fortitude, de scended the well and commenced digging him out. Death was around him and above him on all sides. Yet he worked until he had got the laBd away to hiawalst. Weak and exhausted, he was pulled out. He mounted his horse and rode after help. When we reached the spot, we found Mr. Roberts still alive, and giving directions to those above how to pro ceed. We constructed a curbing about twelve feet long, and let It down, but owing to the curbing below, we could not get it to the bottom within three feet. Moments were eternities with the poor fellow. The first to descend the curbing wag a young man. fcy jhe nam? of. John.. Eton,' who pulled the sand away from his face, came up, and Mr. R indall went down with a hoe. Mr. Roberts' appeal, "Save me, Mr. Ran dall!" and the response of Mr. Randall, "My God, Mr. Roberts, I will save you if I canr struck deep into the hearts of those above. This noble youth worked until, fainting and ex hausted, he was pulled up and placed on a bed, and restoratives given him. An experi enced well-digger was the next to go down. He worked faithfully, but gave up ail nope oi getting mm out. i ne sun naa Bet, and deep down into the darkness of that "cham ber of death" Mr. Roberts still continued to give directions. Dr. Ward went down with a lan tern. A bottomless box was lowered, which the Doctor Dlaced over his head to protect him from the inroads of the quicksand. We were fulfilling other orders of the Doctor, when he exclaimed. "He Is cone!" Another slide completely covered him, and almost fastened the Doctor in. Every effort was put forth to save him, but in vain. V e returned nome witn sad reflections that we had seen a fellow-being burled alive. THE INDIAN TERRITORY. The Cheyenne and Camanchea on the War Path-8caJplng and Tomahawking A Number ot White Butchered. From the Fort Smith Herald, July 2. The quiet that has prevailed amone the prairie bands of Indians in the western part of tne inaian xerritory and jn ortn western Texas has at last given way to open war. About a montn ago one nunarea lodges oi Cheyennes, under Medicine Arrow and other chiefs, came among the Klowas and Camanches, near the Antelope llills, and induced them to go to war against the whites. The first act of open hostility was about the 1st of June, when a Earty of forty Camanches dashed in on the corn elds, near the Agency, about four miles from Fort Sill, and drove off the workmen with their lances. On the same date they carried off a man named Barnard, a watchman at Shirley's mill, and it is reported that he was killed and scalped. On the 13th of June a party of Indians dashed on the corral, about a quarter of a mile from Fort 8111, drove off the guard, and succeeded in getting away with seventy head of mules. They were pursued nearly one hundred and fifty miles by Captain Walsh, and a detachment of the 10th Cavalry, but could not be overtaken, having taken refuge among the immense herd of buffalo on the upper Red river. On the 22d instant a party of about forty Indians made the circuit of Fort Sill from the west, around north, east, and south, passing out to the west again. They attacked several trains, and killed two men and wounded one mortally. The men killed are named William Hall, of Kansas City, and Mexican Jose. The latter was scalped. The wounded man is named Levi Lukens. He was shot within fifty yards of the Kiowa and Camanche agency. On the night of the 22d a dash was made on the post by Indians, who tried to drive off some stock. They were repulsed and scattered. On the 23d of June a train was attacked on the Texas road, fifteen miles from the post, and one man named Charles Henderson, from Illi nois, was killed. The bodies of the men killed were taken to Fort Sill and buried. Parties were sent in pursuit of the Indians after each of these outrages, but they would take to the moun tains, and scatter and could not be overtaken. Satauk, the Kiowa chief, is the reputed prime leader in all tne mischief. Friend latum, the Camanche and Kiowa agent, has a strong guard at ms agency, and nas asKed uenerai urlerson to arm all his employes, which has been done. It is presumed, now that the Indian war has been Inaugurated In the Kiowa and Camanche country, that Texas will suffer greatly from the inroads ox noeuie oanas. it is believed tnat an expedition will be fitted out and start soon from f ort Bill to punisn tnese marauders. . THE ST. J01ISSYILLE MURDER. The Independence Pay Tragedy-A Horrible From the Mohawk Valley Eegitler of Satur day we procure the facts in relation to the ter rible murder committed on Independence day In St. Johnsvllle. the victim of which was Thomas . BurdlcK, a well-known and esteemed resident of that plaoe, and the perpetrator, Charles Backer, an employe on a larm sear ot. Johnsville. It seems that Mr. Burdick had been opposed to Jtacker at several times in suits ot law. wblch caused considerable feeling on the pari of Eacker.' These little aff airs worked upon his mind to such an extent that he became almost a monomaniac on the subject of revenge, and threatened a number oi times to kill Burdick. In April last be bought a five-barrelled re volver, boasting at the time that he had pro cured it for the purpose of killing Burdick, and on Monday laei lie iuiniied nil threat. , Mr. Burdick, on that day, had been called upon to assist at the celebration exercises by reading the Declaration, and this proof of the esteem in which he was held by the citizens served to still further inflame the mind of Kacker. In the evening there was an Iodepen- liUCf llt Am i.tOlW. ftted a. ttftUtJi was' assisting in selling tickets In a room between the dining-room and bar-room, until half-past eleven o'clock, when he left to escort his wife and daughters to the ball-room. One of bis daughters requesting a drink of water, Mr. Burdick came down stairs and procured it. He Boon returned the glass, and was setting it on the bar, when those present were startled by a pistol shot, and Burdick exclaimed, "Boys, I am shot. Go and tell my wife that 1 am shot!" At the same time he commenced to walk backwards towards the door leading to the hall, with his eyes fixed on the one who fired the shot Charles Eacker. With some assist ance the injured man reached his room, and laid down, never to rise again in life. A physician was at once summoned, but he said there wai no hope of saving Burdick's life. After lingering in pain all night, at balf-past ten o'clock on Tuesday morning the unfortunate man died. Mr. Burdick was a native of Fulton county, and in the fiftieth year of his age. He had been a school teacher for thirty years and a Justice of the peace for fourteen years previous to his death. . , Charles Eacker, the murderer, is a short, thickset man, about fifty rears of age, and has always been known as a dissipated and quarrel some man among his neighbors. He was imme diately arrested after the commission of the deed, taken to Fonda, and lodged in J ail. ' ROME. - i Yope Plus the Mntb to the Marred College The Twenl y-fiftn Year of Bis Pontificate. On the 17th June Cardinal Patrizi, in the name of the Sacred College, presented congra tulations to Pope Plus IX on his entering on the twenty-fifth year of his Pontificate. The Unita Catolica publishes the following reply made by the Pope: 1 thank the Sacred College for this new proof of their affection and love, and wnile you say that the present Pontificate has been signalized by tribula tions and by glories, I will say frankly that the pre sent Pontificate was at Its commencement encoun tered by an effort of enemies of God, for political emancipation, to introduce subsequently religious emancipation. It was useless in these first fervors of the movement to cry out to the unthinking, in considerate people, "Popule mens, qui te beatum dicunt ipi te eeducunt." The emancipa tion was attempted and accomplished, and the revolutionists obtained their end. After political emancipation came religious emancipation, in whose name was perpetrated what Is known to every one spoliations, usurpations, prisons, exile, and everything penal for the Uhurch and her ministers. However, to these evils worse succeeded, and our country, repeating the blunders of other nations, advanced their false doctrines, and even though, as on a former occasion, incense was not burned to the Goddess of Reason, It was upheld, and is still upheld, that reason should not submit to faith, and that learning should not be guie! tj hand of religion ; and, m a natural consequence, a thousand other errors are being propagaterLand find,unrortunately,a following and followers. They are embraced by all those who are foolishly dazzled by the beauties of the world ; by all those who, that they may abandon themselves to it, live tranquilly under the tyranny of certain names; by those who work, think and discourse ac cording to the journals which they read and the cir cles they move In, who adore and venerate what Is called public opinion, following its principles even when they are contrary to Justice, right, reason and truth. And why this? The first source of these errors, not the only source but the first, is ignorance Permit me to relate two occur rences which happened te me some two years asro. I will be very brief, because I don't wish to incur the blame of wearying my audience, as sometimes happens in some corners of the world when certain orators speak. On tro different occa sions there came tome two distinguished person ages, who occupied a most distinguished position in the State to which they belonged. The first, after a snort conversation, announced to me, to my great consolation, that he was a Catholic, and. moreover, that being a Catholic, he believed In hell ; however, tnat tne nen in which ne Deuevea was not as it was commonly understood, but a place In which God condemned sinners to perpetual melancholy, and nothing more. The other, who came shortly after, spoke with me on certain laws and principles ot the Church and of religion. As we could not come to a clear under standing he broke out into this classic blonder : "I know," he said, "the religion cr Home and a part of Italy is different from the religion of the rest of the world; for In Rome you have the religion of St, Peter, and elsewhere the religion of St. Paul ;" and then he added, with ill-adjusted erudition, "precisely on this account God showed to St. Paul the sheet filled with unclean animals to be eaten." I congratu lated him on his time being occupied In reading the Acts of the Apostles, but I added that the vision was not made to St. Paul but to St. Peter that the two apostles were in perfect accord, and both brought round the conversion of Rome and the world ; and Paul wrote to the Romans, and boasted that he was a Boman citizen, and with Peter he was martyred in Rome, confirming with his blood the same faith preached in Rome and outside of it by the prince of the apostles. Mow, I say, why all this T I repeat it, dearest brethren, because of ignorance principally. And whose duty is it to dissipate this Ignorance, whose to eliminate certain prejudices which, pene trating even to the highest classes of society, prod ace therein evils without end T It Is my duty, it is your duty, venerable brethren, since both you and I have been placed by God as sentinels to watch day and night over the safety of 81on Super muros tuoe cvnutitui euetodee; tola, die, tota nocte, in perpetuus non tacebunu It behooves us to teach the people their duties; to us it belongs to dissipate the errors which gather on this earth, and to direct so many even perhaps good people, but who do not know, from the position whieb they occupy, tae truth of certain principles or the existence of cer tain facta. Wherefore, having invoked God's as sistance, I will say In the first place that among the sentinels posted by God for the custody of Ills city of Slon, that is to say the Church, there are some who forget the greatness of their dignity, and who even abandon the insignia of their high degree that they may assume :certain customs and manners that will suit them better to mingle with worldly people; there are sentinels who think that they can approach the world and pretend to love it under very specious but vain pretexts; but the great St. Leo says to them, "Pacem eum mundo, nini amoliri mundo, habere non jxMunf." Those Who hold out a friendly hand to this world in order to negotiate conventions with it, forget, though the apostle St John tells us very clearly that the world does not know Jesus Christ Mundu&fyum non cog novit. . And If the world does not know Jesus Christ, or pretends not to know Him, how is it possible to do homage to It or to seek its favor? Or Is It the world that has beautified our souls with the sacerdotal character, with that character which, as I and you hope, will shine brilliantly in heaven when God B&all call us Into the presence of His glory? Was it the world that enriched our souls with the other sacred favors? Was tt the world, in fine, that, separating us from the rest of men and placing us over them, endowed us with gifts of wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and the fear of the Lord ? Or was it not God Himself who poured out heavenly treasures into our souls? To Him, therefore, let us offer our thoughts, our affections, our work, and our gratitude. But I will conclude these remarks with a heavenly benediction, which I impart to you with all the expansion of my heart; and first I bless these first ones of whom I have been speaking, and, raising my hands to heaven, I pray that God may look on them with an eye of mercy and enhance the blessing with ttie grace of light, to the end that, groping about as .they are amid obscurity and darkness, they may find an exit from that con fusion to witness once again tne Deauty ana splen dor of truth. I bless the second class, and they are those that hesitate, wavering in dua partes, and yet cannot bring themselves to all Intent to defend the rights of the Church, and I beg God to unite with the blessing the grace of fortitude, to give them courage once for all to emancipate themselves from certain doubts and indecision. I bless the third. who are by far the most numerous; and the blessing 1 give them 1 ask God to unite with it the grace of perseverance the greatest grace wnicn uod can bestow on his Church and bis people. Ah, if hitherto they have trodden the paths of truth and justice ; if hitherto they have been examples to the clergy and to the people; if hitherto they have been full of seal for the glory of God and the salvation of souls, henceforward may they ut ijigatite currant in vivas euaa, continue as giants to run from virtue to virtae in the . space , of lire which God deigns to grant them; and thus having nnisuea tneir mortal career, may thev at the last hour hear that heavenly Invitation. Huge, etrve bone et Jidtlee, intra in gaudium lktmini tuu And I pray also that all those wno yet wander in the plains of Sennaar may come to us i that all united in the apostolio hall, we may pray to God unaiUmiter peraervantee in oration, and ask of 111 in assistance for ourselves, for our brethren, for the entire Church, and tna propagation of ths Uuurou SECOND EDITION LATEST BY TELEGRAPH".

The London Post recently published a short telegram from Tientslen, China, dated June 25, announcing the massacre of the French Secretary of Legation and other resi dents by native Chinese at Pekin on the 21st of that month. Nothing whatever confirmatory of this despatch has since been received. The Government has nothing on the (subject, and no despatch treating of the matter, other than this special to the Post has as yet been made public anywhere in Europe. ' Private despatches received by a gentle man in this city from Pekin direct, dated June 22, a day later than that on which the reported massacre occurred, in which nothing at all is said concerning a matter of so grave importance to France as well as to the whole world. It is, therefore, quite probable that the Post's special telegram was a hoax. ' The Foreign War Question. Paris, July 127 A. M.

There have been heavy rains and water-spouts In the valleye, doing considerable damage to property and driving the inhabitants to the mountains. By this arrival further particulars of the cap ture of the rillbuaterlug steamer Forward by the United States steamer Mohican are re ceived. After leaving Guaymas the Forward, with the two sailing vessels in tow, proceeded to Chlcola, in the Ban Bias district, where Losado's vessels discharged their cargoes, a portion of which, it is said, was sent to Tepic. The For ward then proceeded forty miles np the river. When the authorities of Mazatlan heard of , the raid on Guaymas they conjointly, with the American Consul and the merchants, urged Captain Low, of the United States steamer Mohican, to pursue the Forward. lie consented, and after cruising for some time, proceeded to San Bias, and thence to Cbichlca, and there ascertained the whereabouts of the Forward. The Mohican reached the mouth of the river on June 16th, arid Captain Low at once sent an expedition of boats, with 60 men, up the river to cut :out the filibusters. .When the boat was nearing the Forward they observed a boat leav ing the side of that vessel, and hailed it. The Forward boat refusing to stop, the officer in command of the Mohican expedition gave the order to fire on it, which was promptly obeyed. At the same moment the Mexicans on the river bank opened a heavy fire from a battery of five 12-pounders, supported by infantry. Ensign Wainwright and the coxswain of the Mohican s boats were killed. The expedition, however, captured and destroyed the Forward, and took the following prisoners: George Holding, first officer; James Lee, second officer; E. W. Johnson, engineer; and H. Martin, llarry Keogb, and Joseph lllghbeck, seamen. The expedition retreated down the river under a running fire from the bank, but there were no further casualties. The wounded prisoners were taken on board the steamer and carefully tended. The Mohican started immediately to Mazatlan, and the prisoners were delivered to the Mexl cans, who treated them shamefully, even the representations of the American Consul falling to procure them any consideration. Charitable foreigners were then appealed to and promptly responded, and the poor fellows were made comfortable.-. They all pleaded innocence in regard to the charge of piracy, and after exanit nation before a judge in Mazatlan, were sent to Guaymas for trial.

From Cap tain Scott, of the English Reserve, commanding the Canadian vessels on the fishing grounds, he learned that the articles of the treaty of 1818 will he strictly adhered to. Fishermen will be allowed to enter Canadian harbors for shelter, repairing, damages, purchasing wood, and ob taining water, and for no other purposes what ever. . ; Fishermen have been in the habit of filling their vessels, running into the Gat of Canso, re shipping their fish, and themselves returning to the fishing grounds. This is now prohibited, and no American fisherman can trade In a Cana dian port. These restrictions will bear hard upon our fishermen. Two of our fishing vessels have already been forced to leave Canso. In the waters ot Prince Edward's Island the Canadian officers have orders to give twenty four hours' notice before seizure. , , .

The doubt as to the ultimate success of the Hoosac Tunnel, which has so frequently dis played itself in public expressions in Massachu setts, is not shared by the Hon. Walter Stanley, the contractor for its construction. In a recent speech before the Boston Board of Trade, he stated that the tunnel has penetrated a mile and a half on the east side, and more than a mile on the west side. The work proceeds upon two faces. The central shaft, sunk in the middle, is more than 1000 feet deep, and within 90 feet of the grade line of the tunnel. At the end of three months there are to be two more faces of work started for this centre. He says that there is not the slightest doubt on the part of himself and his associates that "within three years from now a train can be run almost on a dp ad level from Boston to the Hudson river." There is therefore a breathing spell of three years before all the trade of New York wili go touosion. Another Premising Bantling Gene. The last words of deDartinsr existence come from Indianapolis. Another infant journal has perished. Lihe the one of New Albany, Ind., so recently deceased, it survived birth only about eight days. That one died silently, nor asked, in view of its brief destiny, "What was I begun for ?" This gives a dying wall. Its release from the trials of life Is accompanied by a few words from its editor. He describes the sick ness, which will at once be recosrulzed as a dis ease which, when Inherited, as this was, is inva riably fatal. "There wasn't any business to manage." The melancholy experience has. however, given him new knowledge. He feels "enmnetunt to close the affairs of any uaDer on the shortest notice." Let him, then, hold him self in readiness. There are other bantlings of the American Press Association that may need the cervices of the editor of the late Indian apolis Timet to "shatter the leaves before the mellowing year." He might also prepare him self, in view of recent symptoms, to assist at parental obsequies. The "Uard Post" Letter System. A postal experiment is about to be attempted in JLugiana wniyn snouia oe watcnea wiui atten tion, as it may prove of great benefit to the public. It has been tried in Germany with suc cess, ana is mere Known as tne cam-poet system. The cards are Issued by the Post Office at a lower price apiece than the regular postage on a letter. They contain a space for an address, another for a message, another for signature. The people of the German cities buy them and carry them about in the pocket, very much as we do with vlsitinar or bublness cards, but use them to write letters upon, usually in pencil, in the street or anywhere, and simply diop them into the nearest post office receptacle. Thus, for all mesjages that do not require secrecy, one can dispense with pen, ink, paper, stamp, and en- . velope. In England, the card la to coat but one half-penny. If the experiment succeeds among the reserved Britons, there need be no question about it here, where so many rather seek than avoid publicity of private affairs.
