SAILING Waz on Lsttsrs.-The Post-ofice De-
partment is officially advised that letters for Gail
fornia and other places the coast of the Pacific
Ocean, frequently reach there with the envelopes
partly torn off and the address mutilated, in conse-
quence of the practice of many persons in using
sealing wax ON their envelopes.
In passing through the tropics the wax is snSa-
ria6ly melted, 80 as to destroy all semblance of
seal, and frequently to adhere to the letter be-
meath it, and cause the injury destruction of the
address in separating the two
The Postmaster General furnishes this infor-
nation to the public in the hope that the use Of
sealing wax on letters, and other papers for that
direction, will hereafter be entirely discontinued

Another Yaakee Trick.-Some of the adroit gen.
tlemen of the thieving profession, in the city of
NewYork, have hit on plan quite novel in ts
character. On entering house which they de.
sign robbing, chloroform is first administered to
the sleeping and unconscious victim, and they then
ransack and plunder at pleasure. 1t has been
practiced successfully on several occasions. Ger
tainly, new feature in the annals of crime ; but

the North are SO ingenious, we will not express

The Drouth and its Cosssguencss-It is now
nearly two months since we have had any rain to
do the least good and from all sections Of our State
that we hear from, the same deplorabe condition Of
things exist that suffering from in it, vicinity.
Our commercial community are laboring under
embarrassments. that if not speedily relieved FROM
bv rise in the river, must result most dsastrously
to many, and for a time create much disarrange-
ment in our monetary affairs.
Since 1888 nothing like the present condition of
the rivers has been known. So far Is the present
transportation Of freight is concerned, navigation is
entirely suspended, and every thing like the ship
ment Of goods is put stop to, much so, il the
rivers were entirely dried up The consequence is,
that the heavy stocks purchased to meet the
rapidly increasing trade Of Louisville, and intended
for the fall sales, either great extent remain on
hand, or are stored away in commission houses by
those to whom they have been sold, from an ina
| bty to ship them at any price.
We heard Of one house that has two hundred
tons Of merchandise for the Tennessee river alone
not pound Of which be got off nor is this an
isolated case by any means. In the meantime the
paper Of our merchants is maturing, and which
must be met, without the power to make sales,
though all the goods they have wanted by their
prompt customers, but who prudently will not buy
because they could not ship them should they pur-
chase. The practicable and inevitable result Of all
this must be, that unless we are soon visited with
copious rains, pressure in our monetary affairs
must follow through this whole region of country

An american Magazine in LosdoMs-The
novel attempt Of establishing an American serial,
in the style Of Graham's Magazine, has been at-
tempted in London by Henry Howard Paul, Esq.,i
young Philadelphian, and thus far the specula-
tion has met with wonderful success. The editor
intends that the publication shall present to the
public varied selection from the writings Of the
most popular Of the old, and the most promising Of
the young and rising, American suthors, in prose
and poetry and the design is both an original and
patriotic one, eminently deserving Of success. The
editor, in his prefaceto the first number, observes
that "there are ss many sig eclectic periodicals
composed entirely Of the literature Of Great Brit.
ain, published in the United States, all Of which
command wide distribution, and consequently
afford people the opportunity of familiarizing
themselves with English views and opinions. Not
so MS. We have never had disseminating liter
ary medium in London, devoted to American in
teress, and it necessarily follows thst Englishmen
can only be aware to certain extent Of the real
advancement we have made in the republic Of let.
ters." The British press have received the new
work in kindly and fostering spirit.

Queen Of Spain Wants War.-The NewYork
Sun, on tile authority of a private letter from
Madrid, states that her august ladyship, the Queen
of Spain, in reply to a petition from Cuban, for
certain concessions to that illgovened sland said
that she deeply regretted that she was not the mis-
tress of her own desires, or she would declare
war against the United States, come what might.
1t 10 well there are some wiser people than herself
in the limits Of her dominions, the poor dear lit
tie stupid might be accommodated to her hearts
content 1t is real charity to deny her gracious
majesty the indulgence Of her whim on this COCA
sion. The desire for war, however, is said 10 be
universal in Spain, by the same writer.
