The I>ailj Review. Towanda, Pa., Friday, Feb.. 13, 1880. KDTTOKS : S. W. ALVORD. NOBLE N. ALVORD. ** Daily Krriew" •nly W cent* p*ir month. Wry it. Postal Cards. The first postal card is said to have ap peared iu Austria iu 18(55. Since that time and the first American requisition which was responded to by Congress in 1873 by the issue of 5,000,000 cards, its recognised popularity has created an enormous demand. The number manu factured and used during the first year of their introduction was 100,000,500, and during 1879 the aggregate number issued by our l'ostofflce Department was 240,063.- 000. New Vork has taken nearly one-tenth of all the cards issued during the past few years, using over half a million each week. The average supply of cards kept on hand by the Government is about 250,000,000. The manufactory from which all the cards are produced is located at liolyoke, Massachusetts. It is an unpretentious building both in its exterior and interior appearance, and most insignificant w hen compared with other Government build ings. The manufacture is carried on by a New York firm under the strict superin tendence of a Government agent, who at tends to the printing and shipment of the cards, while the other business is under the direction of contractors. The[immeuse work is done by about 40 employes, who are under the most rigid discipline. The printing is done on four immense steam presses, which art kept in operation day and night. The cardboard from which the cards are manufactured is furnished in large sheets, each of which receive.-, the impression of forty cards. These sheets are then cut and the cards thrown into a hopper which revolves as soon as twenty live cards are received and empties them on a table, where they are examined and (he imperfect ones thrown <>ut. Th v are then boxed and ready for shipment, every process of the manufacture is strieth watched and no opportunity is afforded for fraudulent practice. The registers of the presses are kept locked, and accessible only to the agent by whom they are regularly examined. A record is kept of the d imaged and imperfect cards, and also of the number manufactured, which must balance with the amount of cardboard supplied. So carefully has the work been guarded that not a single postal card has been lost since their intro duction in this country. The new Inter national card has recently come into de mand, and about 2,000,000 have already been furnished. The great popularity of the postal card iu the mail service has led the French Government to investigate the matter with reference to its introduction and adoption in France. It will be some time be for the taxpayers of this country find out exactly how much the last extra session of the Demo cratic Congress cost them. A new item of the cost occasioned by that champion Democratic blunder has just appeared. It is iu the form of a deficiency estimate .of $450,000, submitted bj the Public Printer, and made necessary by printing ordered to be done by the Democrats at the extra session, and uoL provided for in the regular appropriation for tin- current fiscal year. Among the latest subscriptions to the Irish famine fund are $25,000 from the batik of Nevada, also liberal sums from parties, including the lire brigade and marine corps. Hartley Campbell, Lester Wallack and others, and all or nearly all places of amusements are to give perfor mances for the fund on Fit. Patrick's day. The great cornetest.
