None of the deelgns first submitted by the' bureau •f engraving and printing has been adopted, but a new one, with the daalgn of the card which first met approval, and a nsw stamp, has bean aubetttnted. The design may be orlUoieed as a trifls heavy, but it to a vast improvement upon the ugly one now in use. The line under the description of the card, which now reada. "Nothing but the addraai can be plaoad en this side, has been changed to read, "Nothing hut the addrees oan be on this aide," Mr. Vilas suggesting that the caution waa not a prohibitory one. The stamp now in use la equare and the design Is a female head, with faosa at the right and left connected above and below by scrolls in which appear "U. 8. Postage," and "One Cent." This la replaced by a bead of Jefferson In an oval, with a symbolical wreath partly surrounding it, tied with a band, upon which appear the words "One Cent" The printing la to be done with brown ink. The contract called for the' flrat aopply of the new cards en July 1, but the aelay In the adoption of a design has been one reason for the failure to lane them earlier. The ds part man t. in the meantime, has been working off the supply of the old cards, and it la regarded as fortunate that tho new ones were not ready sooner, aa the preference for them might have led te the accumulation of old cards if the new onaa could have been Issued promptly.

The daily transactions last week were not as large aa they had been the weok previous, but the epeeulatlve list has been steadily broadening to tha sense that tho advance la no longer limited to the leading ktocks, and that three bankrupt concerns have bad their securities marked up almoit as fast aa • the solvent companies. That a responsible room trader takes hold of any wildcat stock is enough to put it up four or five points to as many days. Prance had, to the fifteenth oentury, a law which gave a maiden the privilege of rescuing a criminal condemned to death by declaring, at tha foot of the scaffold, her Intention to marry him.

Lonoi, Aug. The new* ot ikDM» viction ul sentence to death of Ml Kiel, the Canadian insurgent, has bad a graya effect upon thoughtful men in London. It to recognized as adding another possible complication in foreign affairs to the trouble with which the Tory government is already hammed. Many column* havs been written here aa to the possible action of the French iwb... in the event of the execution of BJel. Of course thU darinj half breed has amply earned hiC fa'», and the proceedings agair.it him, whioh involved the crushing of bis rebellion in the field and his death sentence in were all perfectly legal, proper, and unavoidable. Bat ha undoubtedly commands the enthusiastic sympathy of a large bodr of almost alien residents of Canada, and the peculiar character, traditions, and instincts of thaei people, who are half French and naif British in sentiments of allegiance, most be taken into account in any statesman! lite view of the situation. It Is geoerallyhoped hen that the Canadian officials wlll oonsider the recommendation to mercy which the Jury made as a rider to the verdict, as It is felt that security for the future may be secured by RieTe permanent imprisonment as completely aa by his death, and that it to better to avoid oom plications Just now if possible. The scandal la which 81r Charles Dllke to Involved will not down at bis bidding, and •vea Us laxtoh payment of C125,000 to the aggrieved but purchasable husband has not been potent enough to seoure him peace. His political eoemiee have now taken up the story in earnest, and deliberately propose to use it as campaign ammunition against Mm in the canvass for the general elections in everyway in which it caa be made effective. The Tory election agent for Chelsea, the borough whioh Sir Charieereareeents, has ooUected what to believed to be the true story of the scandalous adventure and has publtohed it in pamphlet form. This pamphlet has been mailed to every cae of Sir Charles' registered oonstltnente, and copies have been scattered broadcast open the streets of Chelsea. This to the first actual publication of ths scandal la England, and this 4ots not mince matters in the least but pubUshee names, dates and leoattttee without reserve. If the allsgatiens were untrue either Sir Charles Dilke, Mia. Crawford or her husband would have ample grounds for frocssdiags, both criminal and civil againet the publishers. The election agent who has published the pamphlet pleads "truth and Justification." He says that, firstly, the charges ars true, and secondly,It to right and desirable that they shonld be made known, for the culprit to ssekiag the suffrages of his fdlpw-msn to secure his return to a public poet of honor and importance, and the electors have a right to know the kind of man for whom they are to be asked to vote. It is probable, however, that the agent relies more upon the probable unwillingness of Sir Charles to add publicity to the scandal than upon this technical defences In Cheleea the great majority of the population had hitherto been in total ignorance of the scandal, and its revelation has caused a sensation of the most painful kind. There has long been a great deal «f grumbling at the inefficiency of the London fire brigade, and Oapfc Byre Haasey Shaw, the chief officer of the brigade, is about to start on another vitit to the United Statea, to seek points far improving the service, in Hew York and other largo cities. • *BTBD CLUBS.

Washthoton, Aug. 8.—At the last session of congress a bill was passed providing for the allowance of claims of oQoers and toldiers for losses of personal property in the government service, exoept in time of war or hostilities with Indians. The claimants through whose efforts the bill was psaiml have presented arguments to the accounting officers of the traasury, In which they hold that the terms "war" and "hobtiiittss" both refer to Indian service (there being no oomma between the wsrds "war*1 and "sr"), and that claims for leases during the alvil war must be allowed. This, the treasury officials say, would cost the government an enormous sum, more than could wall be estimated. A case Involving a claim far losses for personal property during' the late war was submitted to Third Auditor Williams, who decided against allowing the claim, and holding that the act does not Authorize compensation for any losses sustained in time of war.

Now that English papers containing comments upon the Vandor hilt-Morgan deals are coming to hand, we have an opportunity to see how the English financial world looks upon tbeee deals and upon the advance in the stock list which has since been made. It appears that the view taken ia by no means favorable, and that an opinion prevails that "deals between Mr. Vanderbilt and Mr. Roberta may increase their capacity of fighting others, but in no other way improve either the general condition of railway traffic or the paying capacity of their roads." The London Financial News says that Mr. Vanderbflt has once more "tempted Providence by attempting to match his money against Mr. Gould's brain and to carry on a Lull campaign by himself."

Another idea is for a grand national valhalla to bs placsd opposite the proposed national library to the east of the capital.

Take, for instance, New York Central stock, and awn me that everything projected In regard to Us future is accomplished most suqcusfttfly. What will be ths result! To begin with, this company will increase its debt by $80,000,000, and ks fined ohafrges by (2,000,000 a year. Thsn it will take not lees than six months to settle all the details of. the West Shoes compact, and after that it will take at least a year to show the working effect of this oommct upon the earnings of Vow York Central. Assuming that everything will go on in Che smoothest and loveliest way, and that, at the end of eighteen months a 6 per cent, dividend will be shown on paper, or sven paid out, is the stock worth 09 to-day! It is quite natural that the promoters of ths scheme, who began to buy the stock at 88, ars very anxious to perenade toe public that Hew York central is cheap at pretest figures; but they cannot convinos any man of sense that stock of a heavily mortgaged company, laboring under almost unbearable competition, and showing nothing but a vague projset of a passible dividend eighteen months hence, is worth mare than Mxty or seventy cents on a dollar. But as ths men who are ngaged in this deal ers vary rich, as they can borrow to-day from the banks on ths stock all or moto an they have paid for it, they will probably try to advance prices still further, or, at all events, to maintain them until on unlooked-for change in the general situation givss them a chance to dispose of their holdings. Ons of the moot carious tsatof** of the present erasy speculation is that she same piea who are bulls on stooto are also bulls on wheat. Of course, Vanderbilt and Morgan do not irtimrt their epeoalative proclivities as far aa Chicago. They know that they will make money enough in Hew York. But men like Armour and Woe-. rishoffer are said to be t ig purchasers of wheat oa ton theory that the spring wheat crop will be almost as big a failure aa toe winter wheat At the same tlms, one of these speculators to bulling St Paul, while the other issaid to be buying all the Oregon, Transcontinental and Northern Pacific he can get hold of. All these companies derive their largest profit from the transportation of wheat. Now, if the crops are to be bad, bow can the railroads which move them mfike any moneyl A bull on wheat should naturally be a bear In stocks, and a bear on wheat a bull an Steaks.
