A Paco: 1 vrmen.—Our book publishers
have always been known for their enter
prise, and the promptness with which th•!y
offer to the American public all good (and
many trroduy) books published in the 1k;u7.,-
lish langnage, native or foreign, at the low
est rates. Occasionally, too, have been
turned out from some of our best publishing
houses, handsome holiday books, or editions
of a favorite author, but as a general rule,
while our American books are well printed
and neat in appearance, and almost always
cheap, they have lacked the substantial ele
gance of I;nglish library editions. To
Townsend Co., of New York, has been re
served the credit of producing books in such
style as not only to equal bust to nolipse their
great European rivals. Their Splen , ll a edi
tion of Cooper, with Parley's illustrations
Sr us a stride in advance, btu the acme of
elegance has been reached in their edition
of Dickens, the publication of which they
Lave just commenced. A gond uniform edi
tion of Pickens has long been an almost vi
tal want with his readers, not only in this
eJus airy but in England, where that author's
works have heretofore been in the hands of
different publishers. Here we have "Pci"

not sufficient, Parley or John Gilbert con
tributes a perfect gem in if ustration of each
volume. The drawings of these masters are
beautifully executed on steel, in the fine:t
style of art. The volumes already published
are four, le me, oomploting "Pickwick,"
and these will be followed send-monthly by

the revenue against fraud, and secure the
identity, character and weight of all such
importations when again withdrawn and ex
ported, restricting and limiting the export
and withdrawal to the same port of entry
where imported, and also limiting all bonds
to a period of time of not mote than six
months from the date of the importation.
RECENT IMPROVEMENTS ON TOE POSTA I. LAWS.
—Several material changes and improve
ments in the postal service have been au
thorised by an act of the late Congress, es
tablishing certain post routes. The second
section of the act empowers the Postmaster-
General to procure and furnish letter sheets
with postage stamps impressed Thereon,
combining in one both a sheet and on en
velope. This supplies a desideratum in
certain latsinese and legal proceedings
where it is important to prove the date of
mailing of a letter by the postmark. With
the common envelope this is always difficult
and frequently impossible, on account of
the latter being separate from the cover on
which the postmark is impressed.
To newspaper publishers and their cus
tomers in the interior, the most important
section is that which makes it "lawful for
persons known as regular dealers in news
papers and periodicals to receive by mail
such quantities of either as they may re
quire, and to pay the postage thereon as
they may be received, at the same rates as
regular subscribers to such publications."
This is intended to give the benefit of the re
reduced quarterly rates to newspaper deal
ears who, on account of the irregularity in
the number of papers and periodicals they
order, find it impossible to pay postage quar
terly in advance. It is a very liberal pro
vision, both to them and their ouNtenters.
Two other sections enlarge the scope of
mailable matter, to be paid for according to
the weight or the package, by including maps
engravings, lithographs, or photographic
prints on rollers or in paper covers, books,
bound or unbound; phonographic paper and
letter envelopes, all of which are to be rated
atone cent an ounce for any place within
the United States nut over fifteen hundred
miles, and two cents on ounce for any dis
tance over fifteen hundred miles, prepaid by
postage stamps. The packages must not
exceed four pounds. Cards, blank or print
ed, in packages weighing at least eight
ounee4, are made mailable matter nt the
same rates, prepared in the same way.
By the fourteenth section of the same act
to which we arc referring, we notice that
soma letters by the overland routes to tilt)
Pacific, I.vh:ch have heretofore been rated at,
three cents per hall ounce, when the dis
tance waslunder three thousand miles, aro
now to he rated ten cets. The law will
hereafter lao that the ten cent rate of postage
is. to be prepaid on all letters conveyed in
the mail between any points in the United,
States east of the Rocky mountains, and
any State or Territory on the Pacific.
