DEsrITUrIoN IN ALABAMA.-Gov. Parsons
of Alabama has addressed letter to General
Howard, urging the necessity of tho Bureau
increasing its distributions of ratOns. By n
recent census of that State 43 out of so coun-
ties return 52,95l destitute persons, and Inc
averages the starving poor ut $4,000. During
the war Alabama lost 10000 men, over one
half heads of families, and there arc 10000
white widows aud orphans. They could raisc
no crop last year OIL account of the presence
of the armies, and the Legislature at its recent
session authorized the issuing of State bonds
for the purpose of procuring fi,od, but they
have thilcd to make them negotiable, und the
Governor proposes coming North To put them
in the mnrast for provisions. The citizens
who are able contribute freely, and tho mort
gaging Of farms nn,l crops to raise food is al-
most universal. Feeble women and decrcpit
old men walk miles to obtain rations aud it is
quite customary TO meet fnntic mothers OF
the road side crying with their starving child.
rem. There are 100000 destitute whites aud
blacks, and to the 20S00 to which rations were
issued daily during May, he urges that the
number bc increased for June 5000. Their
wheat and potato crop, gathered In daily, will
give great relief, and II is believed the number
of ralions after August can be materially re-
duccd.

LOOK OUT FOR THE SrAMps.-People who give
receipts for money paid, and everybody docs Il,
should make note Of the result Of trial which
took place In New York the other day, and which
shows how perilous q thing to neglect to put
stamps upon papers which require them may be-
come. Many persons have fallen into the error
Of supposipg that II y paper Is not stamped tho
omission may be rectiied ut any time at very little
expense. This is not correct. There was provis-
ion made for validating unstamped papers, made
and issued before the passage OF the act Of 1874.
upon compliance with certain provisions. Similar
provision Is made In the amended act Of 1855, up.
on the condition that the party derelict shall pay
the cost Of the latter Is more than so. But In
addition to this there Is an actual penalty. which
may be enforced against any one who issues un-
stamped paper. Under the act Of 1854 II was
5000 In all cases. Under the amended act OF 1863
II remains 5000 upon asceptors and payers OF
foreign bills Of exchange without first stamping
the securities. In this case In New York the par.
ty had neglected. beforcShe passage OF the amend.
ed act In 1868, TO aiix stamps upon seven receipts
for the payment Of money. He Was sued for the
full penalty In each case, amounting to Sl400 In
nll, and verlict was gwen against him for the
whole sum. The stamps would have cost four
teen cents, 80 that by his saving habits on tho
occasion referred to he Is $500 81 out OF pocket,
besides lawyers fees and costs OF suit. The ex-
ample Is worthy Of remembrance. There are no
duties which ,evolve upon q citizen which can DO
rs cheaply discharged as tlrOse under the stamp
laws, and few which, II neglected. may cost o
careless person more dearly.-Philaddphi In

SMOKING, as UsUAL.-An exchange tells
this story:-
While General Grant was making his trip
TO Montreal, it was currently reported at Man
chester, N. H., that he would pass through
that city, over the Concord Railroad. So the
wnggish ticket,mas,cr Of that station informed
few friends, one morning that General Grant
was expected OH the afternoon train. Ac-
conlngly nt that time large crowd assem-
bled, anil when the train came they were
gnlifed with the sight of a large, new engine,
bearing the name of our fortunate soldier
Among the victims ofthis misplaced curiosity
was a jocosc lawyer, familiarly known as
"Sam," who hal seen the general before,
though we presume the general had never
"seen Sam" This apostle of Blackstone saw
the engine and the sell at the same time, and
comprehcnding his situation at glance, bolt
cd incontncntly for the street and his office.
As he reached the former, nc was uskctl by II
knowing one, if he had seen the general.
"Oll. yes" said Sam, indificrcntly.
"How did he appear ?"
"Smoking, us usual" was the clever re-
spOnSe. ..... .H.. -.
