Newspaper Exchanges, the Postal Law,

The New York Sun, in a recent article on
the new Postal law, and the exchange system,
says it will_not receive or send any more ex
changes after the first of July, except what
they have paid for, and received pay for. The
Macon Telegraph & Messenger and the
Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel endorse the
plan. Very well, if our brethren of the
Daily Press prefer this plan, let them adopt
it If they wish to cut of the country press,
(for evidently it is the country weekly papers
with whom they exchange'most) we are will
ing that they should do so. So far as we are
concerned ourselves, we can say most posi
tively that it will not affect us, but the coun
try Press cannot pay the price for dailies and
keep up the usual number, then receive onlf
the price asked for the weekly. But we are
not dependent on any particular daily paper
as an exchange, and if the dailies prefer the
plan above mentioned let them say so at once,
so that the country press may decide how to
arrange their exchange lists. As to the week-

Editors Herald: Seven rather uneventful
days have rolled over the denizens pf Newsp

found us out os we flourish our quills in an
atmosphere warmed up to the nineties, with
the cry for “more copy” to spur our lagging

we think we need a National Press Associa

justed. The people are interested in this
movement, and they favor it whenever it has
been spoken of. See the communication on
the subjoct in this issue. We would be glad
to see a more general advocacy of this move
by the Press, inasmuch as it was unaimously
sustained by the Georgia Press in the con
vention at Americas. That part of the postal
law which relates to exchange newspapers is
bastard in its nature. The original intention
of the law referred only to the abolition of
the franking privilege which had been so
grossly abused by some members of Congress ,
and which abuse, together with the Credit
Mobilier villianies, was so universally ex
posed by the press, then; as a matter of spite
against the editors, this part of the law as re
lates to exchanges was included. But we
won’t discuss the subject at any length now.
Let us have a National Association where we
can consider the matter in a business way,
and if the law is right and good, let it stand;
if it is not right, let it be annulled. Aside
from the postal subject, we believe a Nation
al Press Association will prove to be a nation
al blessing.

That Query Again.
Editors Herald: I was much interested in
the query when first published and had
solved it, intending to send its- solution to
you for publication, but was anticipated by
“Dublin.” His solution so nearly coincided
with my own that I was convinced we were
right in principle, so I desisted further in
trusion upon your columns, but since “C. |
Essay” has been heard from, and such dis- j
crepaney exists in our answers, I beg to sub- ;
mit the following solution in full—regretting .
that you are unprepared to place the diagram
in your columns—
Conceive lines drawn, joining the centres '•
of the inner circles; the lines form an equi
lateral triangle, a side of which equals the ;
diameter of the circles; in like manner join [
by chords the tangential points of the inner -
circles; by so doing we divide the first tri
angle into four equal triangls, having their
sides and angles equal each to each. Each
angle being measured by an arc of 60 de- j
grees, and each side equal to the radius of j
the smaller circle.
Let us start upon the hypothesis that a
diameter of the smaller circle is equal to 1, ■
for convenience (any othernumbsr would pro- ,
duee same results) and we will find that when ,
Diameter of smaller circles equals 1 Bod, ;
[inch, or any unit, ;
Area of smaller circles equals .7854,
“ “ sector or £ of circle .1309,
“ “ small triangles .1080,
Sector, minus triangle, equals segment .0229.
Now the triangle formed by the chords of
the arcs has 3 segments, and they equal .0229,
multiplied by 3, which gives .0687. Hence
the small triangle .1080, minus (3seg.).0687,
equals .0393, or the area enclosed by arcs of
circles, corresponding to the one (1) acre of
the problem, and hence, since surfaces are
to each other, as the squares of homologous
sides, diameters, &c, we have by the hypoth
esis the proportion:
.0393 is to the square of one (1), the diam
eter of the supposed circle, so is one (1)
acre, or 160 rods of the problem, to square of
the diameter sought. Or expressed thus—
.0393 : square of (1) :: 160 : answer:—which
on solution, we find to be 63.78 rods. This
is the diameter of the sons’ land, and meas
ures the distance between their homes. They
live from their father 36.83 rods. The diam
eter of circumscribing circles is 137.44 rods.
The father first owned 92.77 • acres; each
son has 19.98 acres.
Messrs. Editors, your correspondent ‘Dub
lin’ is mathematically correct in hii^statement
that the space, inclosed by the arcB of the
small circles, is not a triangle, yet we use up
on good and undoubted authority, the terms
curvalinear and mixtilinear triangles. In a
pure mathematical point of view, such can
not exist The terms are entirely conven
tional and equivocal, and in mathematics,
as an exact science, all equivocations are in
admissible. A curve is a line that changes
its direction at every point; consequently it
has an angle, however inappreciable, at every
point It is impossible, therefore, for such
a figure to be a triangle, when every point
in its boundary lines is an angle. Such fig
ures, however, from their form, are gener
ally accepted in parlance, aside from their
true mathematical nature, as curvalinear tri
angles. Perhaps this arises from the want
of a more suitable and ready name.

Maple place, the name given the royal villa,
will undoubtedly be a nice place to mix fast

It is rumored that the Executive has a pecu
liar weakness for such aromatic beverages,
and that impious wretch, Donn Piatt, has
dared to get up a temperance lecture for the
benefit of his Excellency, in which he says

on the principle that even though the said
rumor may be false, yet the moral state of
rulers should be above such vulgar suspi
cions as that of not being able to carry his
liquor comfortably.
That Boss thief of the Credit Mobelier
ring, John A Bingham, Mrs. Surratt’s mur
derer, has been provided for by the Adminis

clearly setting forth the rapid progress, made
in reforming the civil service. The arrival
of the Hon John will create a comer in the
whiskey market in Japan, and a conple of
stout coolies will be required to form a part
of his retinue, whose office will be to pick
our worthy diplomat from the gutters of
Yeddo and bear him to the American legation.
We admire the pluck with which this Admin
istration steps forward to reward the devotion
of its supporters, no matter how black the offi
cial record of the adherent, and think the ap.
pointmerit of onr Minister to Japan a clear
illustration of the same. We look, for more
developments of this kind in the nomina
tion for the seat of Chief Justice, and would
suggest to several anxious aspirants that the
fact be ascertained whether any relative is
yet unprovided for, who might consider the
vacancy desirable.
The portion of the crew of the Polaris who

We are having weekly Promenade concerts
in the Palace grounds, (White House we
mean,) and gay crowds flock thither to listen
to the strains of the Marine bond, and enjoy
the pleasures of a, flirtation superinduced by
the cool shade and inviting benches. The
music is excellent-, the crowd fearfully shod
dy, and to an eye accustomed to read human
nature, presents a kaleidoscopic variety of
manners and styles. Here vr& behold a beau

in its fullest perfection with us,) with lemon

circle around the flagstaff is filled with
promenaders of every design, color and na

nient spot, and catch the fragments of con

connections which they sometimes make when
taken down in short-hand, constitutes a favor,

To the Memory of Alford Cosey.
Mineral Springs Chtjbch, )
Washington county, Ga. f
Whereas, God, in his providence, has
again visited us with his angel death and
taken from among us our beloved father in
Israel, Deacon Alford Cosax, and whereas,
God has spared him so long to be a light for
us, now that He has taken him to himself we
believe that some expression of our feelings
should be given.
Alford Cosey was bom in Bicbmoud coun
ty, Ga-, October 14th, 1795; died at bis resi
dence near Mineral Springs church, in Wash
ington county, Ga., May 15, 1873. By his
death the church has lost its strongest pil
lar and most reliable counsellor. He was one
of the first in the constitution of this church,
in 1829. When he first grew np he was, as
many young men, wild and- perhaps wicked;
bat just as he entered into manhood he gave
himself to Jesus. From that time he conse
crated his talents, energy and effects to the
cause of Christ* He was called and ordained
to the-office of Deacon of this church on the
3rd of October, 1829. From that day to the
day of his death, like the fathers in Israel,
he was always at his post. His life and his
death may be considered a signal triumph
over the strong passions of human nature,
and the dreadful terrors of the grave. He
devoted the energies of fifty years to the
salvation of sonls and the cause of Christ.—
He was firm without obstinacy; benevolent
without ostentation; modest without affecta-

the larger consideration of general good to

OBITUARY.
Florence Eugenia, only child of Mr. and
Mrs. William Cason, was born Nov. 7th, 1871,
^lied the 27th of May, 1873, of whooping
cough and dysentery, aged 1 year, 6 months
and twenty days. Florence was a fine child,
, possessed with an unusually intellectual
mind for one of her age. She was indeed a
! lovely child, too pure for this earth, and an
Allwise providence saw fit to take her to Him
self. Yes, she is gone to share the full glory
of the better world. Weep not father, moth
er, she is out of pain, out of trouble, out of
affliction, living in the sunshine of immortal
• glory, with angels lor her companions and
Christas her elder brother. Florence, love
ly babe, fare thee well. Conld she come back
and tell father and mother how happy she is,
she would doubtless say, meet me in heaven.
; But she cannot come back to ns now, but we
i may go to her. Perhaps when the dark hour
; arrives she will be sent to wait around our
dying bed and escort onr spirits borne, as
were the angels around her little form wait
ing for the pure soul to be set free. Ofton she
would look up and smile, and the nearer
death approached the brighter the smile, and
one time she looked up and laughed alond.
O, if we conld behold what she cud we could
smile too. Weep not fond parents, “thy
daughter is not dead, but sleepeth.”
Florence thou art fbne to rest—
So early to toy tomb;
Jesus summoned thee away—
Thy Saviour called thee home.
Florence, we know thou art at rest,
And this shall be onr prayr:
