Third Assistant Pnstr

Very respectfully, your ob't servant,
A. n. ZEyELY,
Third Assistant Postmaster-G General.
When the report of Col. NETHERLANDS
speech got to Washington, the Constitution, the
government organ, excused the Postoffice de-
partment, and added
Had the contractor in Col. Netherlands
town, after receiving this printed circular,
stated his circumstances, means might have
been provided to pay him by draft out OF the
limited revenues available, as has been done
in some cases where the amount was less
than fifty dollars, although. in reality, by
the terms of his contract. he conld not claim
a settlement before the close of the present
month.
1t would appear from this that the con-
tractor Knight have been provided for" par

lars, but he didn't put up ''pitiful mouth
to his debtor, and had to wait. But it is
doubtful. liz our opinion, whether he would
have been paid in any case. We are led to
this conclusion by the action of the depart
ment in another case, that of Mr.. Hooker
SMITH, the mail contractor on the Sycamore
Mills ronte. 1t seems that for debt OF
Twenty-Five do!9ars due him, the Post Office De-
partment sent him a certified draft. The
GAINESVILLE Chronicle says of the matter:
I'VE learn that the horse mail contractor.
Mr.. HOckersmith, tried to pay a debt of $25
with Government assurances or scrip, and
that his creditor refusing to receive the same,
the contractor threw up the contract. 1t is
also said that the creditor said, that he rather
would have the note of the contractor than
the certificate of Uncle Sam. All this oc-
CURED in Montgomery county"
Truly this is refreshing season for small
creditors of the Post Office Department, paid
off in little shinplasters which the masses
turn up their noses at Couldn't Postmaster
Holt manage to settle with Citizens Bank
money instead of pen and ink sketches, or
post Office autographs?

Aaron Jones.
LEXINGTON, May "a, 1859.
Editors Louisville Courier: The Lack is dry
and dusty, and the attendance quite large.
The race OF yesterday was tie best three
heats, believe. on record, as the time given
will show.-There are more strangers here
than were ever present on a similar occasion,
and the citizens generally take lively in
terest in the present meeting. There are
also several here from the other side of the
Atlantic. Among them We notice Aaron
Jones. the celebrated pugilist, who trained
the Benecia Boy for the fight with Morrissey.
Jones is a most powerful member of the
human race, and. in appearance, looks like
descendant of the man who fought with a
jawbone. We expected TO see every charac-
teristic of the ruffian and brute in the person
of this celebrity; but we are disappointed,
for, in appearance and demeanor, Jones is a
complete gentleman, and aside from his in
human and brutal profession, would be con-
sidered one.
| notice an error in yesterdays report.
Eagle, Clay, and Alexander were distanced
in last heat. Your printer was kind enough
TO give Eagle the benefit of coming inside
the flag, which YVES wrong.
The race to-day was for purse of $500
two mile heats, for which there was seven en-
tries. Harper, Buford, Richards, and Alex
Oak had but few friends, notwithstanding he
beat all the horses at Memphis at two miles,
and also at four miles.
Everybody was sold to-day. Some bled
freely, Harper's friends particularly. The
Tennessee horse, Red Oak triumphed over
the whole field, winning the purse in two
heats, with ease, in the remarkably quick
time of 3: 40 in each heat. Bruce's entry was
distanced the first heat, as the summary will
show.
Every nag run at Red Oak by turns, but
none of them could come closer than his hips,
and at the end of each heat the champion of
Memphis gave the contending nags plenty of
distance, in his rear, to place them beyond
hope. Below l give the summary.

What multitude of words, originally

their secondary meaning Thus
"knave' meant once no more than lad !;
civilian" than peasant; ''boor" was
only farmer a "churl' but strong
fellow. "Time-server" was used two

one in an honorable as in dishonor-
able sense, Serving the time"
There was time when "conceits"
had nothing conceited in them, ''offi-
cious" had reference to offices in kind
ness, and not Of busy meddling ;
moody" was that which pertained to
mans mood, without any gloom or
sullenness being implied. "Demure"
(which is desmours, Of good manners
conveyed no hint, as it does now, Of
an OVERRIDING of the outward demon
stration Of modesty; in "crafty" and
cunning, there was nothing Of crooked
wisdom implied, but only knowledge
and skill; "craft," indeed, still retains
very often its more honorable use, a
"man's craft" being his skill, and then

Themselves a fortune There is scarce
ly young man of good sense in this
city who cannot save 500 easily from
his annual earnings. and if he will
torcgo cigars, billiards and juleps, he
can save double that amount. Figures
sometimes produce almost incredible
results. Thus, for instance, if a young
man on his twentieth birthday will in-
vest 500 in any stock paying ten per
cent, and annually thereafter will
invest the same amount and the
accumulation of interest, he will be
worth when he is thirty years old,
81, 1913 when forty years old, $4,000;
when fifty years old, sls,l5O; when
sixty years old, S4s, ZOO. how simple
then, is the plan by which a youth of
the present dav can pass his old age in
comfort and luxury. He has only to
regulate his expenses so as to save me
hundred dollars each year from his
income. If the sum he larger, then
the sum total will be increased in the
same proportion. Only think of it.

Alterations Of q 'Crnzy X Ing

It would appear from the following
extract from the Italian correspondent
of the Philadelphia Bulletin, that the
demented king of Prussia has not been
pcrmane ntly improved by his residence
at Nice:
The King before coming to Italy,
for about three hours every day, was
quite crazy, bat since his arrival he
has much improved, and there are
great hopes that the pristine vigor of
intellect for which he had previously
been celebrated, would be quite restor-
ed. Every day the alterations were
less decided, and finally he was SO much
better, that the doctor allowed small
dinner party. The Royal patient was
perfectly sane all day, received his
guests, chatted, laughed and was quite
Jolly; the dinner was announce l, the
company marched in, the King, of
cour e, took his place at the head of
the table, and everybody waited for
him to set the example to put Their
spoons in their mouths. But instead
of doing what was expected OF him, his
Majesty deliberately washed his face
in the soup, and then sat complacent-
ly smiling on his friends, the long
strings of vermicelli hanging down
over his eyes and nose, and in his hail
and moustache You may imagine
the effect no one dared to laugh
however, and they had to sit out the
dinner with this ridiculuos fgurc-head
covered with gravy, flor he stcrnIy
refused towels, talking to them all the
while. Some Central African travel
