The bill reads as follows: -"J3c it enacted by the senate and house of represen tatives of the United States of America in congress as sembled, That from and after the approval of this act it ahull be unlawful for the postoffice department, or any officer, head of bureau, or chief of division thereof, to .-print or have printed, or sell or offer to sell any stamped -envelope bearing upon it a printed direction giving the uune of any individual, firm, or company, or any number of any postoffice box or drawer, or any street number or the name of any building to which it shall be returned if uncalled for or undelivered: Provided, That this shall aaot apply to those envelopes printed with a return card left blank as to name, address, box, drawer, street num Jjer, or building, and which only give the name of the town or city, with the state, district, or territory." li m u?m paint mm m , j XiX LnULL 1UIIII LriULL I u By A.
