A Double Postal Card.
The new device which has been
adopted by the government, known
as the "double postal card," is con
siderable of an advance in postal
convenience, and promises to become
popular with those who have
an extensive business correspondence.
According to description, it will be the
same size as the card now in use,
worth just double as much, with a
stamp on each upper' corner. The
stamp on the upper right hand corner
will be canceled when the card is sent
for the first time, and the other one
when it is returned. When it first
goes, the writer puts his communica
tion on the back and the address of his
correspondent on the face. The re
ceiver answers on the same card,
erases his name and writes that of the
person who sent it to him. The origi
nal sender must be careful not to use '
all of the space on the card. The ad
vantages are economy and conveni
ence, and then too, as evidence in le
gal proceedings there is sometimes an
advantage in having a communication
and its answer together, on the same
card of paper.
Hon. J. X. Tyner, assistant
Postmaster-general will arrive by the
Oresron.
It is supposed that a bogus half
dollar factory is in full hlast in Asto

The Astoria Fire Department
have respectfully declined an invita
tion to participate in the fourth of
July celebration at East Portland.
If a person wishes to sec the evi
dences of prosperity about Astoria, hit
him take a stroll through the city and
witness the number of new buildings
in course of construction, by Messrs.
II. B. Parker, Capt. Flavel, Kinney,
Wright, Ferchcn, and others too nu
merous to mention. There is as
healthy demand for lumber and build
ing materials in the city as at any
former time for years past.
It appears that the widely-published
Mother ShiptonV poetic
prophecies, supposed to have been
written in 144$, beginning:
'Carriages without horses shall go.
Ainl accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thought shall lly
In the twinkling of an eye,"
Were simply a clever literary forgeiy,
and were composed by a person still in
the flesh. Consequently, the supersti
tiously inclined may ce:ise their worry
ing over the final "prophecy," that
"The world to an end shall come.
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one."
In the affidavit required of set-
tiers claiming lands under the ad
ditional homestead act, he has to
swear to the follewing: "And that I
did not serve for a period of ninety
days in either the military or naval
service of the United Suites during
the war of the rebellion." At first
glance this would look as though the
j confederate congress had struck an
other blow at union soldiers, but such
is not the case. The Olympia Cour
ner explains that service of more than
ninety davs in the army or navy en
titled a man to take one hundred and
sixty acres of land within railroad
limits where others could only take
eighty acres, and as the new act only
gives additional lands to those re
stricted to eighty acres, soldiers and
sailors gain no additional advantages

The odor of sweet mignonette
Is wafted from the living censer:
The tuneful birds have gone toest,
Bocked b the branches gentle- motion,

Brings whispers from the grand old

The little brook glides swiftly-Jy
With scarce a ripple on it's bosqin,

Glisten 6n everv leaf and blossom.
Lulled by the whispers in the air,
