PENNY PosTAGE-The new 'penny postage"
law went into operation in England, on the
10th of January. The effect of the system
may be partly gathered from operations of
the first day under it, in the "Great Metropo-
lis" A London paper mentions that the
number of letters mailed in that city on the
10th of January last, was 1I2,lO4. The
estimated number for the 10th of January,
1889, was 81, 887-thus showing an increase
of four fold, under the new system, as com
pared with the old.

FIRsr OF ArwrL.--4H F1oE's DIy-The
question is frequently asked with out %receiv-
inG a very satisfactory answer. rs TO the
origin of,he ancient customs of this dan
which was once observed by most people
with its appropriate honors.
We are informed that the old cIs.om Of
sending individuals on this day. on a fools
errand, is moi peculiar 10 anv one country. In
England it is called All Fools D1y. Scotland
has her april gG,rk; and France her PoissqH'd
Arril [April fish,
1t is probable that the custom is relic of
a high and general Pagan festival. in which the
widest spirit of trolic expressed the universal
gladness. 1t is to be remembered that the year
ancienily began about the time of the vernal
eqinoy, when the awakening of al the pow
ers of nature from their wintry sleep the
leafng of trees. the budding of flowers. and
the singing Of birds-made men look forward
with joy TO Il season of long days and sunny
skies. In the simple ages rough jokes. given
and taken without feelings Of unkindness.
form one Of the most Usual expressions of
highlarity. There is n festival amongst the
IIindoos, called the Hill, which is held
about this time, in honor of the year; in the
observance Of which the practice of sending
persons on errands which are to end in
disappointment, form Il prominet feature.
This circumstance would show that the
custom which still remains with US, is one
which has its origin in remote ages, and is
derived from 4 common source, accessible
alike to the IIindoo and the Britton.
Although this day has no honors now, but
in the gaiety of the school boy, il is found to
nave originated with the learned and wise
Solomon of old; for by turning to the eight
chapter Of the Songs Of Solomon fifteenth
verse, and following, will be found the origin
of this ancient festival.

The steamboat Selma, on her way from
N. Orleans to ST. Louis, a short distance be-
low Helena Ark, struck a snag, and sunk al
most Immediately. The accident occurred
on the oath u!t., and is attributed to the tlller
ropes having become foul, by which the boat
was rendered unmanageable. All the pas
sengers, amounting to about $50, as well as
the crew, escaped to the shore in safety, but
the boat, cargo, baggage, &C., are believed to
be a total loss. Among the passengers were
several German and English emigranis, who
lost every thing they possessed. There was
