The Emperor immediately responded by ship¬

which was captured by his forces at the battle 
of Sedan. The gun, weighing LfiH pounds, ho* 
just arrived in this city, and will be shipped

Recent Railway Disasters, 
Especially that at Richmond Switch, bi 
which a train went at the rate of 35 to 40 hiilcs 
an hour into a yawning gulf created by a flood 
sweeping away a bridge, suggests that all t rains 
should stop before crossing bridges and proceed 
at alow rate of speed; or that watchmen should 
be stationed at all bridges with signals for sl op¬ 
ping the trains in case anything is wrong. As a 
matter or economy to It. It. Companies Hds 
would seem to be desirable. One such accident 
in live years costs more to railway companies 
than would lie expended upon competent 
watchmen for this purpose. If these companion 
are not wise enough and self-interested enough 
to see t fiis, legislatures ought to compel such 
action. 
The Mexican Frontier. 
CURRENT TOPICS. 
Postage Stamps for Government Officers. 
(’(lngrkpk appropriated $1,8116,000 for postage 
for the several Departments of l he Government 
during the noxt fiscal year, beginning with July 
1st, when the law abolishing the franking privi¬ 
lege goes into effect. The stamps used by t he 
various Departments aro required to be of dif¬ 
ferent designs from the ordinary stamps in use. 
The designs will cover all the present denomi¬ 
nations of stamps, and the Color of the ink will 
be live same as that used now, and t he size of 
the stamp will tie the same. Math denomina- 
lion, from the ono cent, stamp to tin* ninety 
eeiil. will be printed for each depart ment, and 
every one " ill contain the name of the depart 
ment for which it is intended. The specimens 
me by far the bandsomost stamps yet Issued, 
and are easily distinguished. The medallions as 
used in the ordinary stamps will be retained, 
tiie change being in the borders. At the top of 
the stamps are the words, “ Department of 
State,” “ Department of War.” or whatever de¬ 
partment they are iptvhdcd for, am! on either 
side of the medallion is u star with the letters 
“ IT. S.“ The stamps intended for the President 
are marked “ Executive." These official stamps 
are to lie furnished on requisition to those enti¬ 
tled to them by the Third Assistant Postmaster- 
General, each department having a clerk to 
take care of the stain pa and supervise their use. 
Subordinate officers will, of course, obtain their 
stamps from the head of their departments. 
The New York Usury Law. 
The State Senate has passed a lull which re¬ 
duces the penalty of taking more than seven per 
cent, interest to the forfeiture of the interest 
alone, leaving the principal to be collected ; and 
no person but the borrower can bring suit for 
the recovery of the excess of Interest above the 
lawful rate j and no suit can be brought by the 
borrower unless commenced within six months 
alter the time for which the money was bor¬ 
rowed has expired. The bill, if it becomes a 
Jaw, is to take effect August 1st. This law is 
more nearly just than the old one; hut any law 
which fixes Lhe rate of Interest on money loaned, 
is as unjust as would be one fixing the price a 
farmer shall receive for a bushel of wheat. 
Everything is worth what it will bring and no 
Home News. 
Fuller accounts of the railway disaster on 
the Kith, at Richmond, 14 miles from Stonlng- 
ton, It. I., show that by the bursting of a dam 
the abutments of the bridge were carried away, 
but the structure was left standing. The train 
dashed upon the bridge at the rate of 40 miles 
an hoar. The engine jumped the river, the ears 
foil in. The cars look fire and an awful scene

The Indian Troubles. 
Tali Modoca—those of thorn not killed—have 
escaped the F. S. Army, and the army and set¬ 
tlers are in a state of uncertainty as to their 
whereabouts and where-they will next turn up 
and what they will do. in Kansas there is also 
trouble, and in Nebraska there aro reported dep¬ 
redations and murders by Indian bands. D 
seems certain that t here is to be a general Di- 
dian war in the interest of U. S. Contractors 
ami Indian agents, and that millions of dollars 
will be spent to keep in order a few scattered 
bauds of Indians who are as c,rten incited to 
violence by the whites as otherwise. From some 
Western localities, we bear the sett lets aro an¬ 
ticipating good and profitable times in oonse- 
qmince of the. money the Government is ex¬ 
pected to spend for their pTotoet ion! 
Trio Postal Cards. 
The order for the postal card to be adopted 
on the 1st of May have greatly exceeded the 
anticipation of the officers of the Post-OHIce 
Department, and the edition ol 5,000,000 which 
was ordered has bum already bespoken by the 
various offices. The Postmaster at Philadelphia 
alone has ordered 1 .OiXi.OOo, and other cities in 
proportion. Ii is not likely that the small offi¬ 
ces throughout the country can lie supplied for 
several weeks. None will bo offered for sale to 
the public until May 1. 
A Cannon for a Church. 
A pew months .since t he pastor of t lie German 
r Reformed Church in Titusville, Penn., the Rev, 
' J. Trundeling, requested by letter t he Emperor 
of Germany, in 'behalf of bis congregation, to 
made public by the Treasury Department, the 
condition of tilings on our Mexican frontier Is 
far from peaceful and enjoyable. Raids are 
made by Moxieanalnto Texas Arizona and New 
Mexico. Americans arc murdered, their prop¬ 
erty and stock seized and destroyed, and a reign 
of terror exists. Mexico does not regard Dm 
Extradition Treaty with the IT. S. Government, 
does not enforce Imr own Jaws, nor control her 
own people. The border is fast depopulating, 
business is demoralized, turmoil exists, and 
things are in a bad st ate. Evident ly something 
must lie done. __ 
Threatening the Judiciary. 
Recorder IIaokett of New York Pity, has 
been giving rascals here the full penalty of the 
law, In cases of conviction He has received a 
letter threatening him or his familly, in ease he 
is not more lenient towards 1 hhives and ruffians, 
it. was signed “Cracksmen." These cowards 
will hardly attack the Recorder, wild goes armed, 
and is the best shot in America. But the threat, 
is what the American People are interested in. 
and ought to result In a public opinion that will 
sustain the prompt and rigid enforcement of 
law against all classes that, prey upon society; 
BRIEF NEWS PARAGRAPHS. 
The Lawrence (Kansas) Journal learns that 
the Kiowas, Cheyennes, and Arrapahoes are 
preparing for war, and that the Government is 
reinforcing all tbo Juri s in Western Kansas and 
south of that section, and that extra troops 
have been ordered to the front . Two companies 
of cavalry have already arrived and two m«rw. 
aro on the road. There is every prospect "f In¬ 
dian troubles on the frontier this spring. 
Bismarck’S illness is attributed to the num¬ 
ber of poisoned letters lie has received. Jh is 
go troubled with dizziness that 1m scarcely 
leaves the house, and his wife, who ai ways reads 
his correspondence with him, is suffering from 
an unaccountable feebleness. The palace lias 
boon closed during the entire winter, and 
neither Bismarck nor his wife have participat¬ 
ed in the. Court festivities at all. 
There is a story afloat, Hint a person living in 
a house that was formerly occupied by Hum¬ 
boldt has found, in a rubbish heap in the culler, 
a box of money; ami Hus is thought to bo the 
money that the King of Prussia presented lo 
Humboldt in 1813, and that lie lost at that time. 
It was supposed to have been stolen. 
Till, Pennsylvania Central Railroad purposes 
laying an additional double-track along the 
whole length of its road, from Philadelphia to 
Pittsburgh, a project, which will cause a heavy 
expenditure for material and labor, and when 
carried out, will greatly increase the facilities 
for general traffic.
