Observation-Disclosures gossip reports the
rule announced by the heads of the Depart
ments to subordnates, is, that removals will
not be made without cause. The head of the
bureaus were notified to communicate, and it
is the determination to relieve the clerks from
anxiety.
Mr.. Cobb. has added to the presents causes
Of dismissal that Of dealing in lottery tickets
and frequenting gaming houses. He has also
required the Board Of Examiners, sitting on
applications for clerkships, to make their in
vestigations rigid, and not nominal. Four
years service in important places is regarded
by the President as furnishing n reason o
change whether commission has expired OF
not.
Secretary Brown has notified the assistant.
of the Postmaster General that they will be
retained, also the Chief Clerk Of the Depart
ment. The expired commissions Of Ten
nessee were renewed yesterday.

The Man with a Snake IN his Hat.

Or. Dixon in his New York Monthly Seal
pef states that gentleman Of the highest
veracty" related to him the following snake
story which beats any thing that we have read
lately: Going into an ordinary for his dinner,
he was surprised to observe the extra care
with which gentleman who took the seat
opposite to him, took off his hat; he turned
his head as nearly upside down as possible
without breaking his neck, then placing his hand
over his hat, he again turning it, and received
IT'S carefully guarded contents, concealed in a
pocket handkerchief on his hand; then gently
laying the back of his hand on the cushion, he
slid the hat and the contents of, and commen-
ed his dinner. The attention Of my friend
was irresistibly directed toward the hat and
his surprise greatly increased, the reader may
we'll imagine, on observing the head of a size
able snake thrust out and looking sharply
about him. The gentleman perceiving the
discovery, addressed him: "My dear sir, was
in hopes to have dined alone, and not annoyed
any one with my poor pet. Allow me to ex-
plain-he is perfectly harmless, only COM

on my head for rheumatism; have done so

dare not yet part with him; the memory OF
my sufferinss are too vivid; all my care is to
avoid discovery, and to treat my pet as well
rs possible in his irksome confinement. feed
him on milk and eggs. and he does not seem
to suffer. Pardon me for my annoyance-you
have my story, it is true. | am thankful tc
the informer of my cure and to you for your
courtesy in not leaving your dinner disgusted.'

"A yonng and beautiful lady in Phila-
'delphia, says the Bulletin, has involved herself
in world Of trouble and term Of years in
the Penitentiary, for the offence of marrying
three husbands in the space Of few months.
The young lady was exceedingly fair and cap
tivating, and played the "gay deceiver' with
astonishing success. She married one Young
man named Rowan of the United States
army. Mr.. R. being ordered to service was
forced to leave home. During his absence his
dame courted and married Mr.. Mott. This
second arrangement moved highly agreeable
until Mr.. Mott had occasion to leave home for
q few weeks, when his spouse not deeming it
good to be alone, took unto herselfa new hus-
band named Thomas, Police officer. This
feminine Lothario was unfortunately ex-
posed, few days ago. by the return Of her
first husband, who claimed his wife; which
claim was resisted, and a suit for bigamy was
tho result. The court sent the irresistible
fascinator to Jail, where she remains cooly
disclaiming any intention to do wrong.

OF 1t is now some time since the system
of registering valuable letters was established.
and the result, instead Of being a check to
stealing money intrusted to the mails, has
rather been the means of pointing out to
thieves in the service the exact place to find
the money letters. The practice of remit
ting small amounts through the medium OF
Post Office money-ortlers has been in vogue in
Great Britain for long period, and in Cam
ada, we are told. Over S50O00.OOO are an
nuallv transmitted through the British Post
Offices by means of money orders, and not
two dollars in the million were lost by mail
robberies, fire or other cause-a suffcien,
proof Of the safety Of this mode of transmit
ting money.
In Great Britain no order is issued for ovel

f25. Every Post Office in England is money
order office; while in Canada only the larger
eiiices, or about one-eighth of the whole num-
Der, are authorized to draw money orders
The charges for issuing orders are on q scale
equal to ons-half Of one per cent. There are
many reasons why this system should be in
troduced in this country. The benefit would
be felt by every class Of the community; but
We are sorry to say there is little hope that
the matter will be considered and acted upon
before the adjournment of the present Con-
gress.

PAY OF GEN. SCoTT.-The question of pay
and allowances to Lieut. Gen. Scott was for.
tnnately settled during the closing hours o
the late session of Congress. The arrear.
ages due the veteran, it is understood, will
amount to about thirty-two thousand four
hundred dollars. A grateful nation, we are
sure says the National lntelligencer, will COR
daily approve this proceeding, and deem il
far less measure of liberality than of JUS
tice. The people will concur with Mr.. But.
Ter, OF South Carolina. in the propriety o
granting to a laurelled hero and consum
mate general that fair requittal which his bril-
liant military services have so richly deserved
and which other nations always accorded t.
those who had sustained the honor Of theil
country.
