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. Levy, offers to play
in Wall stseet or the stock exchange for
the benefit of the suffering poor of Ire
