Requisitions aggregating fro.u
fifteen to twenty millions for new postal

five million will be rer.dy on tho first

most of the requisitions, and in doing

cities, where it is presumed the demand
will be greatest. Those requisition will
not bo passed upon until the firut of May,
and immediately after will fce sett to the
postal card agency at Springfield, Mass..
to be filled. As it will take three or
four days to exanmiue this requisition,
it is not probable that tho new cards

Omaha, April 25. A dispatch from
North Platte, Nebraska, reports that a
party of Meoorogno Indians are on the

Alaska, is about 300,000, of which 130,
000 are self-supporting; 84,000 are

31,000 by the Government entirely ;
the remainder, 55,000, living by maraud

Friday. There is a superstitious m-
tiou extensively prevailing thut Friday is
an "uulucky" day -that enterprises origi
nated or begun on that day invariably
end badly. This superstition is peculi
arly prevalent among sailors. An at
tempt was made in England at ono time
to eradicate it bv laying the keel of a
ship on Friday, launching her on Friday,
cristeuing her on Friday, and starting
her upon her voyage on Friday. It was
with great difficulty marines enouffh
oould bo found to man her. She started
upon her cruise, and that was the last
that was ever heard of her, bo that the
plan taken to eradicate tho superstition
only confirmed it. Friday has been an
eventful and auspicious day in American
history. It was on h riday that Colum
bus started ou hU voyage of discovery
oo inlay, ten weeks after, he discovered
Ap:crica. On Friday, Ilenty VH'gave
John Cabot the commission that led to
the discovery of North America; on
Friday the Mayflower, with the pil
grims, arrived at Princefowu ; on Friday
George Washington, waa born ; on
Friday Bunker Hill was seized and fort
