Dulllmoro Amcilctn , Ex-Mayor Elijah Stansbury , who is norr lying ill at his rcsidonco , No. 431 North Central avenue , was to day reported ported as slightly improved. At on early hour this morning ho was able to partake of a little nourishment , the first for sev eral days. Ilia attendants , however , have no hopes for his recovery , though his life may bo prolonged a few days. Mr. Stansbury was born in Baltimore county in May , 1701. His ancestors were well and favorably known as among the earliest settlor. Ho was the sixth son of Elijah Stansbury , Sr. , who bought a farm nnd mill site in Harford county , where Elijah spent his youthful y oarsro- coiving a common ( school education , and being chosen lender of hia young compan ions. When 17 years of ago ho came to Baltimore , nnd apprenticed himself for throe years to hia brother in the bricklay ing business. Though lame from an ac cident received in early childhood , ho of- forcd his services ns n volunteer in the war of 1812 , which commenced just as ho bociuno of ago , and was enrolled in the Baltimore union artilleVy under command of Copt. John Montgomery. Ho took part in the successful defense of Balti more against the Brittish forces led by Major General Ilcss in 1814. After the close of the war ho again enlisted in the Twenty-seventh regiment Maryland mili tia , commanded by Col. Samuel Moore , who , in view of Mr. Stansbury's Jionor- able record , procured for him a lieuten ant's commission. Ho was afterwards promoted to the office of colonel-and re tained command of the regiment until the end ot the militia system of that day. In 1815 ho entered into the busnicss of bricklaying on his own account , which ho carried on successively for ton years. In 1817 ho married Miss Eliza Echol , second daughter of Mr. Philip P. Echol , of this city. Ho began a general morchantilo business about 1825. and entered into the manufacture of botanical medicines , known astho"Thonisonian. " The iirm for manufacturing medicine consisted of 0. Meyers , E , Stansbury nnd Dr. Samuel Thompson. The latter was the origina tor of the "Thomsonian" system. Mr. Stansbury retired from the business in 18U2. In 1824 ho became a member o the city council , and hold the position for eight consecutive years. IIo was also a member of the Maryland legislature for throe consecutive years. Ho was elected mayor of Baltimore by a handsome ma jority in 1848 , and conducted the affairs of tlio city with such economy and pru dence as to meet the approval of all par ties. Col. Stansbury , as ho was usually known , has been a inombor of six differ ent secret , societies the Freemasons , Odd Follows , Druids , Hod Men , Sons of Freemen - mon and Sons of Temperance. Ho became came a noble grand and also senior grand warden of the Grand Ledge of Odd Fol lows of the state of Maryland. In Ma sonry ho passed through the different de grees until ho attained the highest degree that the order could confer in the state. Ho joined the Episcopal church in 1822 and has since remained a faithful mem ber. On December 12 , 1877 the wife of Colonel Stansbury died , thn couple hav ing boon married sixty years.

I'nes * , \ CIIICAOO , February 1 , 1881. } To tha HOD , Speaker of the house of ropro sontatlvos , Washington , D. C , : Sue At the annual mooting of moiii' bora of the Western Associated press , recently hold in Detroit , n resolution wu unanimously adopted to memorialize con gress , setting forth the injustice of the present rate of postage , nnd especially the rate on transient papers in view ol the present reduction of letter postage. Tlio law charges for the transmission of transient newspapers onn cent for each two ounces in weight , and ono coul for any fraction ot two ounces. Thus n newspaper encoding two ounces by weight of wrapper only is consigned to the waoto box in the postoffico , unless the ntamp thorconis two cents. In the case of the letter if tlio postage happens to bo insufficient it is mailed and the deficiency collected front the receiver , nnd mosl people suppose the same thing is done regarding newspapers , nnd why should it not be I The smaller class of news papers without supplomcuta como within the twot ounce weight , but with them overrun it. Nearly all newspapers o quarto form , seven columns or moro to the page , exceed two ounces in weight when in wrappers and nro subject to double postage. Nearly nil daily papcn issue supplements Saturday or when advertising vortising is brisk , and publish the pro coudinga of conventions aud important public documents. In all these cases the paper exceeds the two ounce limit am subjects the sender to double transit rates , nnd these nro the very copies which people are most in the habit o ; mailing personal friends and business ac quaintances , and as a general thing thuy never roach their destination , the postage - ago being insufficient nnd the papers are confiscated. The public ordinnrily put n ono ceni stamp on n newspaper , suppling that is enough but if the issue consists of a double shoot nnd lias n two cent stamp attached , it in still insufficient nnd the paper nnd stamp nro consigned to tlio waste pnpor box. Millions of copies nro thus lost through tlio operations of an illiberal law harshly executed * Most persons , when traveling or absent from homo , mail papers to their friends which nrc commonly confiscated by the post-of fice by reason of the slightly exceeding proportion of weight to postage. Adver tisers are in the habit of buying extra copies of newspapers to mail to custom ers , but the double postal charge for tlio fractional oversight reduces the number of such copies and thus injures the pub lisher as well 03 the advertiser. The postage on transient newspaper weighing the smallest fraction over two ounces is moro than the majority of publishers receive - coivo for the printed sheets , and this is felt to bo an extortionate charge nnd per sonal grievance when the paper is not forwarded to its destination by reason of an error in judgment in not attaching enough postage , but is confiscated with out notice to the sender. Few persons can tell by "hefting" papers just how much postage it requires and not many oi our own postollico scales can bo depend ed on. i The Western Associated Press nssocin tion nro of unanimous opinion that the law should bo amended to mnko the rate on transient papers ono cent for four ounces or fractional part thereof , which would cover nearly all newspaper issues , including supplements , and put a stop tc the loss of millions of copies now mailed which nro not forwnrded by the postoffico department , but seized and sold as wnsto paper , to the serious damage aud annoy ance of the peoplo. In his last nuuual report the postmaster-general , speaking on this subject , says : "Postago on third class matter , em bracing newspapers , is ono cent per two ounces. Wliilp some ( most ) of the largo nHwspapors weigh moro than two ounces , there seems to bo n popular impression that ono cent a copy is the uniform rate for all newspapers. Many papers deposit in the offices newspapers weighing more than two ounces with a ono cent stamp on them. Th jy nro not entitled to bp sent , aud perhaps nro not. This creates dissatis faction , In order to obviate this I roa- ommond that the rate on nownpapors nnd periodicals sent by o there thau publishers or news agents bo inudo one cunt per three ounces. " The weights advised by the postmaster general would do much good , but if n three ounce rate shall be adopted provi sion should bo added that in cases whcro the pestago is insufficient th6 papers shall bo forwarded and the deficiency collected from the receiver. The present postal rate on all third-class matter is too high and out of proportion to the rates on other mail matter. At1 the minimum it is 8 cents per pound nnd by charging double rate for fractions 12 to 15 cents per pound is exacted , which is moro than publishera obtain for their issues. A more statement of this fact must demon strate the fairness of granting the public a moro liberal postage. The postal de partment will lose no revenue by making the proposed changes on third-class mail matter , as the effect will bo to greatly in crease the quantity offered for transmis sion , which will result in n correspond ing increase in the diffusion of informa tion among the pooplo. Yours respectfully , JOSEPH MEPILL , Pros't Western Associated Press. II. E. JlAKBK , Soo'y Western Asssociatcd Press. Paris Streets. C0rrcs | Hidonco London 1In\t . I overheard an English visitor remark to-day that hu had dissuaded an elderly couple from coming to Paris on account of the danger of being rim over. Ho had warned them that unless they avoided - ed walking or were escorted by young people , their lives would not bo safe. The advice- was perfectly justified. "Equali- ty , as regards street traffic , means that drivers may go ot full speed over the crossing , end that pedestrians must not expect the slightest forbearance. Often , indeed , it seems as if drivers of empty cabs increase their pace nt crossing for the purpose of frightening nervous pede- flt ns. There is , moreover , not n pin to chposo between drivers of cabs nnd of private carriages. The latter nro frequently - quently the greatest offenders , especially near the dinner hour ! nnd it is impossible to npquit of serious blame masters who bid their coachmen to make haste homo no matter if it bo the hour of dusk , with the gas still unlit , or if , as at this time of year , night has sot in. The gallon homo from the theatres nbout midnight is equally scandalous , theugh , happily , pedestrians nro then less numer ous. ous.It is true that within the last few years refuges have been placed in the contro of many of the wide thoroughfares ; nnd that nt street corners lamps with six joti under ono glass have been substituted for the lamps with three separate jots and glas ses , which scarcely gave moro light than the ordinary single ones. But there nro hundreds of dangerous points still devoid of thcso precautions ; and oven were these improvements made general , there would remain serious peril in the daytime , nnd much moro nt night , for persons who are short-sighted , hard of hearing , or unable to hurry over a crossing. There are plenty of policemen in the streets , but they do nothing whatever to check furi ous driving or to assist pedestrians. There is oven ono permanently stationed at the corner of the Plnco do 1'Opcrn ; but in the thousands of times I have passed him I have not soon him on half-a- dozen occlusions stop vehicles to enable n group of people to got to or from the refuge. M. Sureoy , the dramatic critic , was ro ccntly knocked down lioroat n dark hour ; and thii led his friend , M.Edmond About , to ndvocato the sending of some policemen to Vienna to sco how strin gently drivers are compelled to keep to a walking pace nt the crossings. It is strange that ho should not have proposed the shorter journey to London , where the Paris police might certainly learn a lesson. In no part of Paris is the traffic comparable to that of London ; yet Cheap side is immeasurably safer for pedestrians than the Boulevard dos Capucines. The obvious reason is that hero there is no police control. Cabs and carriages nro oven allowed to violate the rule of the road , aud to pull up or bo stationary on the Tory crossings , obliging a stream ol pedestrians to turn out for them. The Prefect appears to think this none of his business ; though ho lias just found time to put down tlio chiflonniors , and to require - quire every concierge to provide n special box for oyster shells and broken crock ery. _ What AVe Can Cure , Let's Not Endure.
