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.

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.

Jmtee Lyn< h Holds Court and Executes Sen tence With I.’nusual Formilitle’. 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.” HUMOR OF THE DAY.

Vineyard Haven, a New Englaad Summer Resort. In Aehe*. The village of Vineyard Haven, Mass., has beep almost entirely swept away by fire. Over fifty acres were burned, caus D Kr an aggregate loss of about $200,- All the hotels, stores and public 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 PROMINENT PEOPLE.

Then, feeling pretty warm himself, and 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 tion went its way and Mr. Spurgeon went his way. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC. W. J. Florence has a new play— “Facts.” Mr. Dion Boucicault will go to Australia next year. Joe Emmet claims to have cleared 1125,000 last season. The first saengerfest in America was held ■n Cincinnati in 1849. Theodore Thomas received fl,ooo per week on his Western tour. Joe Jefferson will open McKee Rankin'; new theatre, New York, in September. Verdi is perhaps the richest, as he is the most benevolent composer in the world. The French playrights are dramatising some of Edgar A. Poe’s fantastic stories. In Stockholm two one-armed men sit to gether at the theatre so that they can ap plaud. “ Fedora,” with Fanny Davenport in the title part, will be seen in New York Octo ber 1. Sullivan is preparing the score for Gil bert’s libretto, which is a parody on Tenny son’s “Princess.” Miss Jennie Sargeant, who has lately won musical laurels in Milan, Italy, is a native of Haverhill, Mass. Blind Tom has become virtually a maniac in music. Piano playing has driven out of his head what little else there was in it. In one week, not long ago, seventy-two con-. certs were given in London, of which eighteen took place on the same evening. The popular manager and writer, Mr. T. E. DeLeon, of Mobile, has recently written a comedy for Miss Kate Putnam, entitled “Ted; or, Only a Woman.” Miss Lucille Meredith, a young Ameri can lady, who is said to have a fine soprano voice, and who was the original Virginia, in “ Paul and Virginia,” when it was produced in New York last year, is in London. Like Miss Russell, she intends settling in London to pursue her profession. It is related that when Lawrence Barrett, the tragedian, sees a tramp in his back yard, he calls out to him: “ Thou old fossil saurian, if I catch thy pliocene footprints around these premisesagain I will break thy ganoidal ver tebrae and hand thy Silurian remains over to the guardians of the people.” A Berlin paper states that Mr. Abbey has Kted a notice at the Musicians’ Exchange in t city calling for a large operatic orchestra to performinthe Metropolitan Opera-house, New York, during a term of six months. The musicians are each to receive $l2O a month and free passage. They are to leave Berlin on October 2. Luther’S devotion to music is well known He composed excellent chorals. It is an nounced that a long article of his on music is to be for the first tone printed in the complete edition of his works, which is being prepared for the great Luther festival in the autumn. In one of his treatises, Luther says that “ music, is a gift of God and not of man. It expels the devil and makes people cheerful It makes us forget all anger, impurity, pride and other vices. After theology, I assign to music the next place and the highest honor. THE NATIONAL GAME. Lewis, of the St. Louie club, leads the American association in batting. Pigeons are used in Philadelphia to carry baseball news from the grounds to the Zoolog ical garden. A DEAr mute catcher, named Ryan, is to support Dundon, the deaf mute pitcher of Columbus. Hadn’t they better secure a deaf mute captain ? It is rumored that a new league is to be organized, composed of ten dubs, taking in the largest cities not represented in the league or American association. Latham, the third-baseman of the St. Louis dub, is the dude of the American association. When off the field he always dresses in the latest and most approved style, and parts his hair in the middle. Two ladies' nines, the Kaatskills and the Sheldons, played two games of liall at Lake George recently. They were guests at the hotels there. Each side won one game and declined to play a third. Of the twenty-four players who composed the Athletics’ and Bostons' teams when they made their successful tour through England in 1874, Joe Battin, the third-baseman of the Allegheneys, is the only one now in the Amer ican association. There are now over 100 new ballplavers. nearly all of whom are first-class, who have entered the professional arena this season. The national game was never so popular as It has been this year, and more jxirsons are making a livelihood out of it than ever be fore. 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. LEAGUE CLUB RECORD.

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. $2.00 per Annum, 5 cents per Copy.

( 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.— Harper’s Weekly. Fashionable New York tailors say they have orders for several hundred pairs of knee breeches for next winter. The Gotham dudes, it seems, are going to make a struggle for the adoption of this form of dress for evening wear.
