terms is tantamount to a new bid, and cannot be re

Making a new bid, with guarantee and certiticate, is
thaonly way to modify a previous bid.
JT. Postmasters are to be careful not to certify the
sufficiency of guarantors, or sureties, without know
ing that they are persons of sutticient responsibility;
a disregard of thi instruction by postniasitert is a vio
latum of their oath of office, sUttjecling them to imme
diate removal. All bidders, guarantors, and sureties
are distinctly notified that on a failure to enter Into
or perform the contracts for the service proposed
for in the accepted bids, their legal liabilities wUi be
enforced agaiust them.
- 22. Present contractors, and persons known at the
Department, must, equally with others, procure
guarantors and certificates of their sutlicleney sub
stantially in the forms above prescribed. The cer
tificate of sufficiency must be signed by a postmast
er, or by a judge of a court of record. No other wiil

WHAT WILL CCC03IE OF US !
Tbe Sun's Evil intentions To
word the Earth.
From the Buffalo Express, November 10.
The sun's atmosphere, say the scien
tific men, 13 in a highly excited conai
tion. A column of magnetic light is
shooting out further, from the solar
sphere, and is now stretching out
forty-five millions of miles. In other
words, it has accomplished half the
distance between us aud the sun. The
interesting question, and one which,
perhaps.we donot wish any more light
of this character, is, how long will it
be before it finishes the rest of the
distance, and bridges the ; gigantic
chasm between . the earth and sun ?
Is it a messenger sent out to snatch us
ud as food for the insatiate monster
that keeps himself warm by devour
ing plannets", and whose fire-eating
propensities this whole earth, would
eat iof y for a few dayo only ? If 80,
how long will this emissary be in
reaching U3. and carrying the globe
away as if we were a gigantic lump of
coal for a roaring furnace f inis col
umn of light at intervals indicates, its
approach by fleshing and corruscating
with fresh brilliancy. So decided are
its effects, that two astronomers, one
at London, the other at Oxford, and
neither knowing the experience of the
other, supposed that the dark glass of
their telescopes had been broken or
put out of range,
so strong
was the
flash of golden light upon the vision.
It is predicted that before the end of
next year, this magnetic light will
have got near enough to us to make its
immediate and actual influence upon
the earth distinctly felt. It is announ
ced that in consequence we may ex
pect to see phenomena that have nevr
er been seen or known before by the
human race. If any of our readers
are, therefore, yet disposed to complain
of the weather and the earthquakes,
et them remember that by this time
next year, they may have an entire
new line of experiences to explain and
endure, in comparison with the fitful
winter and rough rude autumn or to
day may seem like a June morning In
paradise, and tne eartnquaKe s sqock,
and lightning's storm, a placid rock

aby of thunder.
A Li ving Headless Child.

story: '
In the vicinity of Spoon river, ill.,
is a child that was born and has lived
five years without a head. Mrs. ,
the mother, is the widow or a soldier,
formerly living In Marshall county,
who enlisted in the Goth or Scotch
regiment, ani was killed in the battle
of Lexington, Mo.. ,bhe was standing
besido her husband during the engage
ment, when a cannon ball carried his
head completely away, hi3 body fall
ing into her arms and covering her
with blood. Theehock affected her
greatly. . When her child was born
there was not a semrjiance oi a neau
about it. The limbs are perfectly de
veloped, and the shoulders where the
head and neck should be is smoothly
round off.
But the most surprising thing of all
is that the face is situated in the breast.
Of course there being no neck,the pow
er of turning the head is wanting, ex
cept as the whole body is moved ; but
this diriculty is overcome Dy tne sin

Winter.
Washington Correspondence Cincinnati Commer
cial, ov. .
Members of Congres are thick here,
setting their houses in order for the
session. Whether it is so or not, ev
erybody believes we are to have a fes
tive winter. The belief comes in part
from the fact that the session is to be
one of that longer order not limited
by Lae fatal ideas of March. Lvery
day we are hearing either of some new
notable who will entertain, or of some
parvenu who will become notable
through entertainment. Fish, and
hia assistant secretary. Fernando
ood and a score or more are among
the number.
Then, Corcyran's new hotel, the
Arlington, is to become a grand center
of attraction. The entire town is
cantericg around that. All about
ther for a square or two, under the
shadow of its loftv eaves, will make
such a court circle as Washington has
not known formerly, i or a beggarly
Italian to get his peanut stand in the

at least it is likely to be so regarded
here, where society regulates itself by
very strange caprices. I have spoken
with half a dozen .gentlemanly ele
phants already, who, by the right of
long purses, propose to take winter
quarters at the Arlington. Great
business shrewdness was evinced in
the choice of this euphonious name.

this huge show temple there will be
gathered, from January to April, more
members or the v eneering family

Washington hotel before. "Vive lea
bagatelles, vanity and velvet trains!"
will be the motto of that house.
Meantime, at the other end of the
capital is heard, these two weeks, the
unceasing sound of hammer and
trowel. The last repairs are being put
upon the Capitol, and the carpets are
being laid in the legislative chamber.
This laying of carpets is the last touch
to the Capitol before the coming of a
Congress. A Brussels carpet lasts the
House of Representatives just three
years ; tne benate, four or five years.

Ihe old Hall of Representatives Is
now fully perfected for a gallery of art.
Visitors halt in it longer than in any
part of the Capitol, to see the famed
bronzed doors, the chariot clock,
winged history, above them the fres
coed superb vault, and last of all the
most magnificent piece of statuary in
the building, the marble figure of Al
exander Hamilton. As the history of
art lengthens in the nation, this beau
tiful hail will be filled with the works
of native artists. Hereafter it may
well be an American artist's ambition
to see his production there. We want
no more such statuary as we have
been accustomed to see there, models

Local Papers.
Horace Oreely's opinion about
newspapers is worth that or all crea

Imagine local papers worthless, and
will be read and copied with eagerness
by tbe entire press of the country :
Nothing is more common than to
hear people talk of what they pay
newspapers tor advertising, etc., as so
much given in charity. Newspapers
by enhancing the value of property In
their neighborhood and giving the
localities in which they are published
a reputation abroad, benefit all such,
particularly if they are merchant or
real estate owners, thrice tne amount
yearly of them eagre su m payed for thei r
support. Besides every public spirit
ed citizen has a laudable pride in hav
ing a paper of which he is not asham
ed, even though he should pick it up
in rcw York. A good looking thriv
ing sheet helps property, gives char
acter to the locality, and in many in
stances, is a desirable public conven
ience. If from any cause tho matter
in the local or editorial columnsshould
not be your standard, do not cast it
aside and pronounce it good for noth
ing, until satisfied that there ha3 been
no more labor bestowed upon it than
is paid for. If you want a good reada
ble paper it mu3t be supported. It
must not le supported in a spirit of
charity either, but because you feel it
a necessity to support it. The local
press is the power that moves the peo
ple.

receive the Presidential nomination of
Tammany last July, and for a long
time previous bent all his movement
to that end. His failure to be nomi

but exasperated him. Soon after the
adjournment of the Convention, Mr.

solicit aid for the party in Pennsylva

SECRET OF JOnXSON'S FALL INTER
VIEW .WITH PILLOW.
Said one to me, the other day, who
occupied a prominent position in the
Confederacy, and who ha-j always
been an ardent hater of Jchn?on.
"People have never fully understood
how it was that Johnson tscanie alien
ated from his party. The troutio wa,
his head waaeomTiletr'jturrt 1 vhM
ne got into the W hite "lious-o. He
had always been looked upon a.s a rep
resentative of tho poor white element
of the South. His election as United
8tates Senator was regarded asa tri- -uraph
over the aristocracy by himself
and plebian and 'psrtician alike. The
old "high tones" of Tennessee never
associated with him or manifested any
disposition or purpose to award him
social recognition. When, therefore,
these "high tones" came humbly be
fore him, supplicating pardon, tho old
villain's head was completely turned.
To thus have those who only a few
short years before held themselves so-
cially far above him, now kneeling
before him In the attitude of suppli
ants, filled hi3 vanity and conceit to
overflow. He was filled with the airs
of a dictator, and so came to think
he could act independent of the party
which elected him. The gentleman
then proceeded to describe a meeting
between General Pillow and Johnson
at the White House, he being present.
rinow nau been cne or the aristocrats
of Tennessee, one Who could not have
thought for a moment of permitting
his family to associate with Johnson's,
after the latter had become Senator
even. Johnson wanted the cratilica-
tion of pardoning him. of peeing him
on his knees. He invited Pillow to
call at the White House and foe him.
The latter came, and, on being Usher
ed Into the reception room, sat down
on the lounge, my informant being
already in the room. Johnson ap
peared with a sinister chuckle on his
face. After passing the coraplimenta
of the day he walked slowly up and
down the room, waiting for Pillow to
ask his pardon, to humiliate himself
before the whilom mean white repre
sentative of his own State. Pillow
hated to crave the boon, hesitated,
and talked abound the matter before
coming to it. Finally he seemed to
summon all his resolution and reques
ted Johnson to pardon him ; and
then, with a look of exultation and
triumph, he bestowed the coveted
boon. . The opinion expressed by my
informant in regard to the case of
Johnson's alienation to his party will
Certainly strike the reader as deser

A Chinese Weddlny.
A Chinese wedding came off at
Grass Valley, California, a few weeks
since. The Union thus describes tho
couple married :
"Tin Ti made his appearance at the
church first and alone. It i.-j not high
toned among the Chinese for the brido
and groom to be present together at
the marriage ceremony. He wa
dressed in a dove-colored blouse, knee
breeches, blue stocking, fancy shoes
and embroidered skull cap. Tin Ti
having departed from the church, tho
bride came up in gorgeous toggery.
having her hair set up in a ridge
across tho middle of her head, from
front to back, with paste and largo-
gilded pins, some six inches high,,
'allee same rooster's head," as an ir
reverent Chinaman remarked. Be-
ow her head she wore a frock, which
hung loosely from her shoulders, and
made of fine silk. This was looped
up under her left arm to one dollar's
worth of gold buttons. The bottom
of this rig was about a foot from tho
ground, and below it were whito
stockings and fancy shoes, with sole
three inches thick, it was mnuirewt
to witness that she was agitated, and
that her nerves were anything but
steady. One American present
thought she wa3 agitated because it
might not agree with her health to bo
an honest woman so suddenly. - An
other said she wa3 as pretty as a "spot
ted pup" In her dlllerence. She was,
n spite or all remarks, put through
n shape, according to the notion of
Mr. Wan Kee and the Joshes have of
the marriage ceremony, and then she
was turned loose to find the balance of
herself.
Orchard Grass. A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman says he
seeded a field last year with equal por
tions or orchard gras, red-top and
timothy. -Theseed took well, and ths
field was designed for pasturing as
soon aa the orchard grass began to
head out. The cattle, were turned in.
The red-top and timothy were some
two weeks behind. The field afforded
a fine growth of feed. Ha al-o seeded
about an acre for mowing, with equal
quantities of orchard gras3 and timo
thy. July 20th this grass was cut;
the orchard grass dead ripe, the red
top in full blossom. From this ex
perience It is evident orchard grass is
good for fields designed for permanent
pasturage, as it will afford an early
and continued growth ; but it will not
do for meadows mixed with oilier
glasses, as it does not mature . wita
them, and 13 too ripe for pront when
other grasses are Just right to cut.
