Those wh i h?ve holiday or othor goods to sell, and those who wish to make any fact or want known to the public, should I*- ir the above fact In mind, an 1 remember that The Evknim; Stak goes into more homes, houses factories stores shops. Offices, ami places of business ami Is read every d y by more people, than all the other dally papers in Washington add<*d together. ? ?- ? . Another Double* Shret. Tn consequence or tlie extraonlinary pressure on ft . columns, by advertisers, another double or Hsbt-pagp Issue of Tub star will be printed tomorrow,?Thursday,?in order that its readers may bave that consideration to which they are fairly entitled. Its columns s?>em to be regarded by every bosly as the only sure means of reaching the whole public,?as they are. In fact,?and while tbis unprecedented demand exists it can only be ?*t by these mammoth editions, inconvenient and expensive though they may be to us. Another Will be Issued on Saturday, as u.->uaL ?_? .? ?. Commander Cheyne, who, we believe. Is or has ber-n an officer in the British navy, delivered a torture In New York a few evenings ago. In which be spoke strongly against the present build of toamshlps, which, he saId, "only involved slilpWTTTk." The common model, on account of its |F?*at length and narrow w idth, lie compared to a pitDk, and asserted that "it is likely to break in tiro In a high sea." It m :y be that in the desire tor great spe?d something of burly st muchness, nod certainly something of the comfort of passrn^ers. by the contraction of accommodations, be- n s icrlficed, in the long and narrow hulls of the present day; but Commander t'heyne's assertions ,?s t;? their weakness and utter unseaworthiness do not appear to be borne out by the facts During the last ten days or two weeks all the steamers crossing the Atlantic have experienced r nigh r an 1 longer continued rough weather than anv of f :>cm have ever known. So seven- have the sr. Tins been that everyone of them lost rigging tv> its, upper works, or some part of their movable belongings, and .ill h..ve been delayed from tliree t-?ten days beyond the time ordinarily required for a passage. Yet, s<? far as is known, not a single one of these large vessels has been lost, nor dl 1 any of them nm i with an accident whl h int?>1v'd the working of the machinery or the Integrity ol the buil. These facts go far to refute the tirori-. s of c ommander Cheyne,?who probably stMlb lleves t there is nothing like "the wooden wills of old England," and nothing like leather for the defence of a city. They mu>t certainly tend to establish confidence in the mind of those wh 'se inclination or duty requires them to go down to th, seatasfelpu. We believe It can truthfully b>' said th it passenger vessels were never so strong, so swift, so well equipped, or so ably oaken d u.-> they ar>- at the pn s -nt d ty. Helnrich lfe'ne n l .tes in llrnptd rhyme a story Of tragic l.ne In whl -h the maiden, having plied all her siren-like arts and won her lover's heart, with an Icy, perfidious smile s.,1 i him nay. Then, s? the st >ry run-, fhe disappointed swain said sententlously that he would dance at h -r wedding, but, on the contrary, "he threw himself into the fathomless s--a and was (lead." Heine's story was "Drought to mind by the -siren-like arts" which a ninety-pound girl, o\> r la Butler county, Pa., has been plying upon a rustic curiosity who tips the scales at stiO pounds at the youthful age of nineteen years. on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, for weeks, sue h id encouraged him to isit the ancestr d mansion and enjoy himself In her father's great chair while she read to him from ber favorite authors. She began by reading the Sympathetic l ij- in whl -h Meredith tells the story of Luclle. Under the soft influence of her melodious voice her colossal beau fell an easy victim, and though she afterwards sought to enchain his aruses with less entrancing tales, he held the fort, as it were, and only twice or thrice, as his lnainorlta tripped through some of Browning's verses, 61d be yield to the soj>oritl.-influences of what to his untutored mind was like "sweet l>ells Jangled, out of tune and harsh,"' and pass into delicious ttumlier. llis acute entertainer after this stirred ber admirer's soul with the story of "Two Women,"' as told by Miss Wools ?n, and in the midst of the lecltal the bulky swain declared his love and popped the question. His proposal was peremptoTlly reject- d, and th--n, amid angry accusation and tearful recrimination, the motive underlying the cunning maiden's tactics transpin-d. Beneath the cushion In her father's chair was a large tljt book, between the covers of which autumn leaves had been placed for pressing. Her fondness for an admirer who weighed iS) pounds is quite obvious; w hen It ciune to thinking of him us a husband, that Was naturally a different matter. But the kind reader will disapprove of such heartless tampering with the affections and little Miss Artful, should ber rejected suitor grow melancholy and seek an aqueous grave, may. like Hein? *s heroine, grow nervous as the years roll on. To her, and to all petite damsels having autumn leaves to press we commend Heine's story, which closes thus: "And the siren. >tiil weaving her web For others, oft glances aside, I n -asily watching th - flow and the ebb Of the tide." Postmaster General James recommends tlie establishment of a postal savings system, and says It "would inure more than almost any other measure of public Importance to the benefit of the working people of the United States." This question has Interests a numb -r of our prominent men, and several years ago a score or more of bills, all looking to the establishment of this system, Were introduced m Congress, But they all died' early deaths, none of them reaching a final vote. The great obstacle to a syst m of this kind is that It would necessitate a permanent national debt, and that Is what the people of this country do not want. The American policy is to pay off our debt as rapidly as possible. To permit people to deposit tbelr savings In post offices, whence they are transferred to the Treasury Is to require the government to keep up a perpetual borrowing of oney from its citizens. The system would be Worthless unless it were permanent- After the national debt shall have been paid. In theeourseof not many years, the government will not need to borrow the people's money and pay interest on it. Government will not then have need for any money more than Its revenues. As this Is not a "paternal" government, but quite the reverse, postal savings and similar Institutions are not in I nele flama line ol business. The discussion of Senator Sherman's three per cent funding bill in the Senate finance committee yesterday lndlcafc-d a favorable report. That the bill will pass the Senate nobody seems to doubt and IX Is equally certain that a bill for a three per cent bond will pass the House. 1 he democrats would like to defeat the Sherman bill and pass one originating with their political side of the house, aad It la apparent that they intend to try it. The vetoed bill of the last Congress, which was a democratic measure, will be Introduced. While both parties in Congress approve the plan of the tbree per cent bond, it Is not improbable that they will antagonize each other upon it. Each side is Intent upon getting the political glory which. It is believed, will attach to the passage of this measmre. The subject of what constitutes Presidential "Inability" in the sense that the term is us.-d In the Constitution Is now being discussed In the Senate, with the view of reaching such legislation as will leave no room for question or doubfc hereafter. The discussion will be watched with interest, as the ablest minds of the Senate will take part In It, Senators Edmunds Hoar, Anthony, Pendleton, Garland, Beck, and others, will be beard on the question. m The report of Engineer Commissioner Twining Upon the route for railroads through the city and a site for a Union depot, and the communication from the majority of the board of Commissioners, suggesting an alternate route and site, will supply the data for Intelligent congressional action.
