THE NEW POSTAL NOTES.
H«w They Are EM<raved and Printed-\Vbnt
They Look Like.
The new postal notes, which are to lie used
after Septemlier 3 in the transmission of sinal
sums of money through the United States
mails, are being printed rapidly in this city
and they will be ready for shipment to all the
postoffices in the country on Wednesday.
Books of notes for the postoffices in the far
West were completed yesterday. Every book
contains 500 postal note forms, with the ad
dress of the postoffice printed on each note.
The pages of the books are perforated,
so that when the notes are torn out stubs re
main to show the amounts for which they
were issued. A note can be filled out by &
postmaster for any amount not exceeding $5,
at a cost to the sender of three cents for each
note. The notes are made payable to “the
bearer,” and they can be used as fractional
currency n any place to which they are
sent. To guard against the use of
the notes before the law author
izing their issue goes into effect, C. F. Moc
donald. superintendent of the money order
system at Washington, has caused to be
jiasted in each liook or forms the following
notice: “ The postal note business will com
mence on September 3, 1883. Under no
circumstances whatever are any postal notes
’o lx* issued from this book before that date.”
The notes are printed on pure linen bank
note jiaper of the best quality, chemically
pre]»are<i in such a manner as iiot to lie af
fecteaby moisture or exposure to light, while
it is sensitive to the action of acids or other
liquids often used by forgers. The color of
the irajier is a pure lemon, and the front sur
face is printed over with an underlying tint
of golden brown—a combination selected by
Superintendent Macdonald as lx*ing the safest
and most suitable for the purpose. The water
marks in the jiaper. twistM in the form of a
figure eight, have the words “ U. 8. Postal
Note” in duplicate—reading from both left
and right. These water-marks can be seen
only when the note is held up between the
light and the eve. Three printings are re
quired to complete the note. In the under
lying tint is a vignette consisting of a classi
cal female head wearing a helmet, which was
engraved from the portrait of a postmaster’s
pretty daughter. Much of the tint is made
up of miniature photographic designs, com
taining the words “United States Postal
Note, repeated many hundred times, and en
graved so finely that one can read the words
with the naked eye, while it would be difficult
to make a counterfeit. Winged wheels, with
a halo from behind, make up a portion of the
tint.
The liack of the note is elaborate and is
printed in a dark green. In the center is the
monogram “ U. 5.,” engraved with a geomet
rical lathe. The monogram is imbedded
in an intricate cycloidal lace work of white
line cutting, the tracings for which were done
also with the geometrical lathe.
The contract for engraving and printing thi
several millions of postal notes which will )>e
required by the ]>ostoffice department in tl
next four years was awarded to the Homer
]ee liank Note company in June, and the
jxistinaster-general obliged the company to
give Itonds to the amount of $2,000,000.
About 200 skilled artisans were em
ployed by the company to complete
the first part of the contract, and they nave
been at work in relays day and night
for a month. The notes are received by F.
Raymond, the United States postal note
agent, and by A. G. Lathrop, of the post
office dejiartinent, who have their offices in
the printing-rooms of the bank notecompany,
at Broadway and Prince street. A fireproof
metal vault, alxrnt fifteen feet square and
eight feet high, lias been constructed in the
building in which duplicate notes, not needed
for immediate use, and all the engraved plates
are to be stored.— New York Tnovns.

A Memphis (Tenn.) dispatch says: On July
26th last Thomas >Sayle, a young merchant of
Oakland, Miss., eighty miles south of Mem
phis, was assassinated and horribly mutilated.
I Suspicion pointed to a negro named Joe
Payne, who was arrested. Yesterday he
made a full confession, and it was given out
I that he would be publicly hanged to-day at
noon.
A dispatch from Oakland to the Appeal
thus describes his taking off: “ To-day at 2:25
p. m. Joe Payne, colored was hanged in ac
cordance with the almost unanimous vote of
500 or 600 citizen*. The proceedings were
quiet and business-like. Sheriff Pearson made
an eloquent appeal in favor of the law taking
its course, but the crime was so revolting and
the man's confession of a cold-blooded, delib
erate murder so clear and complete that the
sheriff was overpowered and relieved of his
charge.
” A court was at once organized, the Hon.
J. M. Moore, mayor of Oakland, presiding.
IV. N. Fitzgerald and W. V. Moore, attor
neys, conducted the prosecution. Payne
made a full confession. He said that on the
night of the murder he went to
Sayle’s house fqr the purpose of
killing him for his money, and
that he waited there until Sayle came out,
when he joined him. They walked about two
hundred yards, when he knocked him down
and cut his throat, throwing the body into a
deep gully, after he had rifled the pockets of
money ana the store and safe keys. Then be
went to the store and got what money was
there amounting in all to about $3O.
“Aver the come«,.v. . a vote was taken ar
death by hanging was the verdict ot the
crowd, who acted as jurors. A gallows was
erected at once, and the prisoner mounted the
scaffold with a firm step.
“Hemade a speech, again confessing his
guilt, and advised everybody to teach their
children to avoid evil thoughts. The black
cap was then adjusted, and in ten minutes he
was pronounced to be dead. The colored
people were as clamorous as the whites for
avenging the outrageous crime, and the
people think they have done right.”

buildings were burned, with about fifty
other buildings, including several small
manufacturing establishments. Nearly one
hundred families are homeless and many
almost penniless, and with no other clothing
except prhat thoy chanced to have on when
they were driven out into the night by the
flames.
Vineyard Haven was an old-fashioned sea
port xillagp, the buildings mostly of wood
and the streets narrow, and the fire swept
over it unchecked. It broke out at 9 o’clock
in the harness factory of R. W. Crocker,
when two-thirds of the inhabitants were
asleep. .V’nost immediately the whole struc
ture was rn flames and the fire began its
devastating march through the town. At 10
o’clock it had progressed across the main
street and vas sweeping toward the southern
part of the village. The only means of check
ing it were the primitive buckets. The whole
village w«s aroused and the streets were
crowded with the effects of homeless people.
A severe northeasterly storm was blowing
and a slight rain falling.
Most of the residents of Cottage City started
for Vineyard Haven between 10 and 11
o'clock, and the scene they witnessed on ar
ty ring at the burning village was very dis
tressing. The streets were filled with all sorts
of iiersonal property, over which the women
and children, the sick and infirm were lament
ing in a pitiable manner. Every store in the
village was then on fire, and the postoffice,
express lively stables ana hotels—
except the Grove Hill hotel—all were in
flames. 8 ue forty acres had been burned
over. The wind that fanned the Are was lit
tle short o;.n hurricane. There were about
two hundred and fifty summer residents in
the village, many of whom were obliged to
flee precipitately to places of safety.
The dweking houses destroyed were not
more than half insured, and they were owned
and occupied by people who live on their fru
gal savings and who find themselves in their
old age dep ived of the homes that have be
longed to their ancestors for generations. The
village will never recover from the blow,
and a large proportion of the sufferers
are wholly without means with which to re
build. There was no loss of life, but quite a
number were badly injured while endeavor
ing to sai c personal property, and the wife of
James Davs, an aged citizen, died from ex
citement consequent upon the fire. An ap
jieal for aid was issued. The aggregate loss
is placed at $190,000, on which there is an in
surance of

seeing his congregation growing listless, he
interrupted himself with the remark, “ That
is the end of * firstly,’ and it’s so warm to-day
that I think the secondly and thirdly will
keep for a cooler Sunday. So the congrega

In 1881 the Boston club receipts were in
round numbers $28,000, against an expend!
ture of the same amount. In 1882 the re
ceipts were $42,000, against an outlay of $38,-
000. This year the receipts bid fair to reach
nearly $45,000, with an outlay of lees than
ten per cent, of that amount.
Ward, pitcher of the New York club, will
enter Harvard next fall. His ability as a
ballplayer has enabled him to further the
laudable ambition of educating himself.
Under the college rules, he cannot play with
the Harvards in championship games, but
his advice and experience will be of great
value in training. Beside lieing a fine
pitcher. Ward is one of the best general play
ers and runners in the country.
The position of Allen, New York's pitcher,
when preparing to deliver a ball, is described
thus: He spits on the end of his thumb,
looks up at the sky and down on the ground,
grins at the Ixitsrnan, winks at the catcher,
throws a kiss at the umpire, plant# his right
heel firmly in the ground, sneaks a look at
first base, then stands erect, puts both hands
behind him, rolls the lxa.ll around over the
small of his back, raises his left foot and
makes a wicked dive forward as he delivers
the l>all. He then pants until the ball i.'i
returned to him, and goes through the same
maneuvers.

DROWSING HERSELF.
Suicide of a United States Senater’n Wife.
A Dubuque (Iowa) dispatch says: Mrs. A.
B. Allison, the wife of United States Senator
Allison, of lowa, drowned herself in the Mis
sissippi river some time last night. She left
home yesterday afternoon after 1 o'clock,
telling her servant that she was going to one
of her near neighors. Instead of this, how
ever, taking her gossamer under her arm.
she went in the opposite direction, toward the
country where she had l>een accustomed to
take daily walks. It is ascertained that she
wandered around in the outskirts of the city
during the afternoon, where she was seen by
several persons walking rapidly, and appar
ently somewhat excited. Not returning by 9
o'clock from the place where she was sup
posed to be. a search was maintained during
the entire night. This morning her boay
was discovered soon after 7 o’clock in tne
river, about a mile lielow the city. She had
cut up her gossamer, placed some stones in it,
and tied them securely about her neck, then
walked deliberately to the river, about
thirty-five feet from the bank, lain down,
and drowned herself, where the water was
two and a-half feet deep.
Mi's, Allison was of a highly nervous tem
perament, and during the past two or three
vears had suffered from and been treated for
irnental disease. While at the water cure es
tablishment in Western New York in 1881,
under medical treatment, she attempted sui
cide in much the same manner, nut was
fortunately rescued. She was the niece and
adopted daughter of the late Senator
Grimes, of lowa, and had lieen mar
ried for ten years. She had
no children. Senator Allison had opened the
campaign at Clarinda on Saturday, and yes
terday was at Council Bluffs. A dispatch
was sent him last night as soon as his wife’s
disappearance was known. He came home by
special train. The shocking event has thrown
gloom over the entire community.
STORM AND EARTHQUAKE.
Vessels Wrecked OtT the Samoan Islands-.
Destrnetive Tidal Wave.
Commander Pearson, commanding the
United States steamer Wachusett, reports
to the navy department the arrival of that
vessel at Apia, Samoan Islands, May 10,
twenty-three days from Honolulu. He says
that on the day of sailing from Honolulu
his majesty King Kalakaua, accom
panied by members of his staff,
came on board and went several miles
to sea with them. Captain Pearson also for
wards a description of a terrific storm, ac
companied by shocks of earthquake, wmeh
visited the Samoan group on the night of
March 24, wrecking several merchant ves
sels and causing considerable damage on
shore. The American brig Sheet Anchor, of
San Francisco, Captain Marril, was driven
upon the reef, and became a complete
wreck. The captain and steward were lost.
The American schooner Eliza, of San Fran
cisco, Captain Smith, dragged her anchors
and grounded, but was hauled off <®ly
slightly damaged. The German vessels Zolide,
Venezuela, Vavan and Apia either sank or
were wrecked on the inner reef. The east end
of the island of Savaii was visited by a tidal
wave which swept away all houses within a
quarter of a mile or the beach for a
distance of ' fifteen miles along the
shore. A Catholic chapel in Savaii was
blown down and ten persons killed, 'rhe
storm was not preceded by any unusual phe
nomena, the only indications observed being
a fall in the barometer of sixty-eight one
hundredths of an inch from noon to midnight,
and a gradually increasing wind from the
south-southeast from Apia to Tahiti, Society
Islands.

HOW CHOLERA TRAVELS.
THEORIES AB TO TKM CAUSB OT TBI
TERRIBLE EFXDBXXO.
The Terrible Outbreak and Fatality a Few
Vein Ago an a Railroad Train In Hen.
gn’-How the IM.-ease Begins.
( holera is a disease that comes and
goes mysteriously. Although acting
under some unknown law of nature,
its movements are so erratic as to ap
pear to be the mere result of chance.
While leaving a long trail of death be
hind it as it sweeps over a long line of
cities, it will suddenly pass over entire
districts and reappear on the other
side of them and renew its fatal
progress. It has baffled the ablest phy
sicians in the world. They cannot tell
whether it is in the air or in the water.*
All they know is that it is.
The most general opinion held by
men who have had an opportunity of
studying its characteristics in its nat
ural home, the East Indies, is that
the malady is born of germs that have
sprung out of masses of decayed vege
table and animal matter played upon
by a blazing sun; that these invisible
germs are borne over the earth by the
air < urrents, and that they have art
affnity for pl ices characterized by the
decay and corruption whence they
sprung. This theory is at least as
plausible as any other, though occa
siona’ly those who hold that it belongs,
to I>ad water have their theory sup
p rted by such awful calamities as the
one tnat took place a few years ago in
Bcnga 1 .
On that occasion a train packed
with natives started from Cawnpore
f r Lucknow, a ride oi about six hours.
When it arrived at its destination the
sight presented to the officials was ap
palling. Hundreds of men and women
we e either dead or dying from cholera-
Some survivors testified that the dis
ease broke out almost immtdiately
after a native passenger had handed
round to a few of h s acquaintances a
drink of Ganges water from his 1 tab.
For four h urs these wtetC'.iel people
had been packed in that tra n, sur
rounded by the revolting agonies Of the
dead and the dying, and several were
taken out of it stricken, not with the
di ease, I ut with insanity.
The observations made by well-in
f r.ncd Egyptian correspondents are
suggestive of the fact that the rulers
of Egypt are greatly to blame for the
epidemic. The lakes around Damietta
produce enormous quantities of fish,
which are imperfectly cured, dried in
the sun, and eaten in an almost putrid
state by the poor fellaheen.
Vast quantities of dead and rotten
cattle are cast into these lakes as food
for the fishes, and travelers have been
frequently filled with disgust at the
spectacle of bloated carcasses floating
on the waters. The fellaheen would
probably gladly bury their dead ani
>»■>!« hut fnio tp Jhn characteristics
of Egyptian misgovernment, cne of
the tuxes of the country is laised on
buried cattle. What is the result?
Rather than pay the tax each fellah
throws his dead animals into the canals
or shallow lakes and takes no further
hee 1 of the transaction.
The New York Times gives the fol
lowing particulars concerning the dis
ease : The first cases are generally
widely scattered and sporadic, and no
connection can easily be traced from
one to another, and the whole thing
seems a great mystery. A most pro
ductive source in obscure outbreaks is
the introduction of soiled clothes,
either sent to washerwomen or to rela
tives, or sold as old clothes. These
cases are often obscure, for the wash
erwomen, if robust, do not die first,
but some delicate person or child in the
same house or neighborhood. In the
meantime the healthy washerwoman
may merely have choleraic diarrhea,
and may recover entirely and never be
suspected, or may finally die when five,
ten, fifteen or even twenty whom she
has infected have gone to their graves.
The initial case is not always the first
fata! one--far from it. The least
common occurrence is when persons
absolutely and greatly affected by the
disease come into a place with such
evident signs about them that none but
the least informed can mistake them,
and die quickly, and thus really fur
nish not only the initial case of every
kind, but the first fatal one.
Too Much Bathing.
There are few greater admirers of
the bath than 1 myself am. I like al
most every plan of bathing—with the
exception, probably, of the Russian
moudjk plan of getting in under the
stove" a d burying yourself in hot
ashes. I have never tried that, but
doubtless it has its advantages—to a
moudjik. However, 1 must say there
is such a thing as overdoing even the
bath. Although I should xvish that
every one in this country were like
myself—amphibious, so that if thrown
into the water he would only ponder,
while quietly swimming out again,
where the nearest place was at which
to procure dry clothes and a cup of
coffee —still, it must be remembered
that men are not manatees. We could
not live most of our time in the water,
like those interesting aquatic animals.
People should neither bathe too often
in the day nor remain too long in the
water at a time, else they will overdo
it; they will have too much of a good
thing. ’ The after-effects of the bath
should in all cases be studied, as well
as the state of the general health.
Moreover, the temperature of the
water deserves consideration ; it may
suit some people to break the ice on
their matutinal tub in winter, with a
frozen sponge for a mallet, but a dash
of warm water is to be recommended
when the mercury crosses the line
thirty-two degrees. One bath in win
ter and two in the heat of summer I
would not call overdoing the thing.—
