Mexican aeyvs--Unpaid Letters.

WASHINGTON, October S.-The Pic0yHnc
of Friday gives verbal report that Captain
Jarvis passed note to the Spanish Commo-
dore, in which be not only condemned his
threat to lombard Vera Cruz IN case Maria
conception was not restored and damages paid
but declared that he would consider the first
shot fred upon Cruz as shot upon the Amer
ican squadron. In consequence of this note
further action in the matter was suspended.
Three Spanish vessels of war returned TO Ha-
yana.
The Postmaster General to-day issued an
order of which the following is a copy

pense, notified the parties addressed in all in
stances in which the writers failed TO pay,

as, instead Of diuri lishiDg, the number of
such letters continues to increase. thus show

Density OF Population In the Uni
ted states,

Some OF the facts disclosed by the census
are that non slaseholjing States are twice as
dense as the slave-holding States The mid
die States are the densest; next to New Eng
land; then the North West; then the South;
and lastly the South West The States ta-
ken together have density OF about sixteen
TO the square mile. With the density of
Sweden aud Norway, which are the least
popuous of any European States the United
States would have foIty-ive millions of in
habtauts. with the density of Russia over
eighty millions; with that OF SPAN two hun
dred millions; of France Eve hundred mil
lions; Of Britain six hundred and sixty nil
lions; of Belgium eleven hundred and fffy
millions.
In population the United States is probably
exceeded only by four of the European Pow
ers, namely Russia. Austria, France aud the
British Empire in Europe 1t is nearly or
quite twice as populOas Prussia, Spain or
Turkey. and is equal to the aggregate popu-
latiou Of twenty-four out Of thirty
States of Europe

Two Sisters Turned PoIsoners.

Two negro girls, sisters. living in the fam
lies of L 2 Officer and ". q. Huey at
Springfield, Illinois, formerly OF Washington,
Pa, have been arrested for poisoning their
respective employers. One Of them bought
arsenic, which she put into the coffee Prepa
red for breakfast, aud the other scraped quick
silver off the back of looking glass aud
mixed it with some fried potatoes. The per-
sous who parlook OF the poisoned food were
quite sick, bat no deaths have occurred. No
good reason can be assigned for the conduct
of the girls. Meanwhile there are various
and conflicting rumots as to the motives which
could have actuated them. Some say they
were induced into the belief that they were
slaves. and that this was the most efectual
way TO secure their freedom, by terminating
the existence of those who held them in sla-
very. Others. that young negro man was
attached to the girl in the service Of Mr..
Officer, and having been refused access TO
the house, advised her TO poison the fam
lily as the most effeetual meaus of removing
an obstacle to his fond project.-Erchange.

Outsoard Beauty cannot understand,
says Frederick Bremen. the importance which
some people set upon outward beauty or plain
ness. l am of opinion that all true educa-
ton, such at least as has religious founda-
ton, must iDiuse noble calm, a wholesome
coldnesss, an indifference, or whatever people
may call it. toward such-like outward gifts,
or the want of them And who has not ex-
perienced of how little consequence they are.
in fact, for the veal and wo of life? Who
has DOT experienced how, on nearer acquain-
tance, plainness becomes beautiful, and beau
ty looses its charm, exactly according to the
quality of the heart and mind? And from
this cause am also of the opinion that out
ward beauty never disquiets a noble nature,
or will be regard as misfortune. 1t never
can prevent people from being amiable and
beloved iu the highest degree. and we have
daily proof of this.

than thirty thousand cases; the Brandy. some ten
thousand cases-Eintages Of 1886 to 1856; and
ten thousand cases Of Madeira, Sherry and Port
Wine, Scotch and Irish Whisky, Jamaica and
ST. Croix Rum, some very old and equal to any
in this country He also had three large cellars,
filed with Brandy, Wine, &c, il casks, under
Custom House key. ready for bottlng. Mr..
WOite's sales of SChnappS last year amounted TO
one hundred and eighty thousand dozen, and we
hope in less than two years he may be equally
successful with his BranGies and Wines.
His business merits the patronage of every
lover Of his species. Private families who wish
pure Wines and Liquors for medical use should
scud their orders direct to Mr.. Wolfe, until every
Apothecary in the land make up their minds to
discard the poisonous stuff from their shelves.
and replace it with Wolfe's pure Wines and
Liquors.
We understand Mr.. Wolfe, for the accCmmo-
dation of small dealers in the country, puts up
assorted cases Of Wines and Liquors. Such
man, and such merchant, should be sustained
agairst his tens of thousands Of opponents in the
United States, who sell nothing but limitations,
