Wives AND DAUGHTERs.-A Con.
temporary who is somewhat posted up
in satin and statistics, talks as follows
WHIST the business men of America
proyerbialIy live poorer, dress shah
bier, work harder, and many more
hours than in any country in the world,
their wives and daughters are ten
times more idle, more extravagant and
more useless.
1t strikes us there is some truth in
that extract. Mr.. Brocha, ofthe house
of Brocha, Buckram & Co., tolls from
twelve to sixteen hours perday. Bro
cha last year made 1000 What
became of it? Ten thousand dollars
of the same were spent by Mrs. Bro
cha for new furniture "to spite the
Maxwells," while a large portion of the
balance was expended on "Blanchc K
Sarah" so that they might 90 to New
port and, ''show the Fantadlidgs" that
there were other diamonds in N. Y,
besides those which were Inherited
from great grandfather, who found
in India princely fortune and a de-
ceased liver. Brocha had been in bu.
siness since 1910. He does large
and lucrative business. People who
have never bee. in his parlor and kit
chen imagine that Brocha is worth
quarter of a million of dollars, while
those who have been in. wonder how
he lodges the sheriff. Brocha is still
toiling, and is still making money, and
yet if he should die to morrow, it is
questionable whether his assets would
equal bis liabilities. Brocha will pro-
badly end bis days by testing the vir-
tue of shilIiug's worth of strychuine.
Should we be one of the jurors who sit
upon the body, we should bring in the
following verdict--"died from the Wis
itation of an extravagant wife and two
senseless daughters"

BosroN PosT OFFIcE.-1t is said
there are more letters come to the
Boston Post Office than to any other
city in the Union, in proportion to the
population. The Telegraph has the
following item:
The largest mail ever received at
the Boston Post Office was that which
arrived last evening from New York
and the South. 1t weighed fourteen
and a half tons, and required an ex.
ira baggage car for its conveyance
1t was taken from the Worcester de-
pot to the Office in six Wagon loads !.
About one.third as much more of the
same mail was left over at New York,
from impossibility TO furnish means
for its transport in that train. Pack
age Master Fuller saw this vast pile
safely delivered. A large proportion of
this matter was Congressional and De-
partment documents.

DEATH OF ABBOTT LAWRENCE
The Delta in speaking of the death Of
this distinguished citizen, deviates
from the usual form of such notices by
saying:
Mr. Lawrence lived and died with
the possession of the respect of all his
acquaintance and friends, some of
whom are inclined to regard him as
a very great man. Rich men are
always great men. AS Lord Byron
said long ago, Cash is virtue ;" and,
he might have added, greatness also.
Wealth and distinction are SYNONYMOUS
at the present, and the days Of the
poor Peripatetics are over forever.
Diogcnes and his tub would be
kicked out of modern society to-
gether.
Peace be with the spirit Of Abbott

GLovERvrLLE.-The name of a place
in Fulton County, New York, where
100000 pair Of gloves are made an
nually. Dogs, goats, sheep, and other
animal hides are in much requisition,
and it is said, that the more delicate
fabric of gloves, are made Of the hides
of poor people, obtained from the city
of Gotham. If it be so, it is right.
The Advocate will make a note Of
this and pass it round "P. w. Jr.,"
osn use it in his gratuitous public
speeches, and IN" can put it in his
pipe ard smoke it. This will tell am
azingly in a political point Of view,
when stress is put upon the fact that
the Comet is Know Nothing Organ.
It is related that Mahommed, when
standing at the grave Of his mother,
publicly declared that her soul was
condemned for having worshipped
idols ); his judgment on his uncle and
protector, the undetermined Abu Talib,
was also equally severe. His cruelty
was also great. Some apostates from
his faith were sentenced by him to
have their hands and feet cut off, and
their eyes pierced with hot irons, and
in this condition they were thrown on
the stony plains Of Nadynah; they
asked for water and it was refused to
them, and so they died. Suoh in
stances Of cruelty are the more char
acteristic of his fanaticism, as, he was
naturally mild, and even soft.
