DEAD LETTERs.--It 10 stated that the num-
Der of dead letters annually returned 10 the
department is about 2,250,G00. About 10000
annually are found to contain money and
other yaluables, and are, as soon as found,
registered and returned 10 their owners Tho
aggregate contents OF the letters thus annually
restored 10 the owners is about 100000 in
money, and about S3O00,000 in drafts, checks,
ties and other valuables, computed at their
nominal value. A general impression seems
10 prevail that most of the dead letters fail to
reach their in tended des tination, through some
faults OF the postal system or the carelessness
of postmasters. 1t can easily be demons trated
that the reverse is the case. or the 10000 let

ORIGIN OF THE IMPERIAL GrARD-The
paign Of Napoleon l.. after the taking Of Mi
Ian, when the French were in pursuit of tho
rstreating Austrians near the river Mincio
The circumstances are thus narrated by Alb
bott, in his Life of Bonaparte :"
Though the Austrians were some fifteen
thousand strong and though they had partial
ly demolished the bridge, the march OF Napo-
leon was retarded scarcely an hour Nano-
leon was that day sick suffering from a VIC.
lent headache. Having crossed the river, and
concerted all his plans for the pursuit of the
flying enemy, he went into an old castle by
the river side to try the effects of a foot.bath
He had but small retinue with him, his
soldiers being dispersed in the pursuit Of the
fugitiyes.
He had just placed his feet in the warm wa
ter, when he heard the loud clattor of horses
hoofs, IS n squadron Of Austrian dragons gal
ioped into the courtyard. The sentinel at the
door shouted, To arms. to arms the Aus.

hastily drew on one boot and with the other
in his hand, lcaped from the window escaped
10 the garden through the back gate mounted
4 horse, and salloped to Massena's division
who Were cooking their dinner at a short dis
tance from the castle. The appearance of
their commander-inc chief among them in such
i plight reused the soldiers from their CAMP
kettles, and they rushed in pursuit of the
huStrIans. who in their turn. retreated This
personal risk induced Napoleon to establish Il
body guard, to consist of five hundred yete-
ever to accompany him. This was the origin
OF tEs Imperial Guard, which in the subse-
quent wars Of Napoleon obtained such a

CAUSES Of SUDDEN DRATH.-Dr Hall in his
Journal of Health, says that very few of the
sudden deaths Which are said to arise from
diseases OF the heart, do really arise from that
cause. To ascertain the real origin of sudden
deaths, the Doctor says, the experiment has
been tried IN Europe and reported to scien-
llfic congress held at Strasburgh. SiYty-six
cGses of sudden death were made the subjects
OF thoroush post-nI0rieDt examination. In
these cases, only two were found who died
from diseases of the heart. Nine out of the
si1ty-six died from apoplexy, while there were
ioFty-si1 cases Of congestion Of the ipngs-that
Is, the lungs were so full OF blood they could
not WORK, there not being room enough for n
life. "fe0-

known, an avoidance of them may serve To
lengthen our valuable lives, which would
otherwise be lost under the verdict Of a heart
complaint. That disease is supposed to be in

not take the pains they would to avoid sudden
death, If they knew it lay in their power.
