CHURCH FEsTIvALs.-Our Roman

CHURCH FESTIvALS.-Our Roman
Catholic friends have been holding,
during the whole Of the month Of
May, a daily religious festival in
special honor of the Virgin Mary.
The ceremonies characterizing these
occasions were very interesting and
attractive and were attended usually
by large concourses of our popula-
ton. The decorations, solemnities,
music, etc, partook Of the gramdiose
and elegant. The grand finale, on
Sunday evening last, witnessed the
coronation of the Virgin, a scene in
which very large number of young
maidens, decked out in white wells,
white dresses, blue ribbons and
flowers participated. The whole
presented spectacle of surprising
beauty and interest. The musical
accompaniment by the organ and
choir, were among the notable fea-
lures that gave zest and pleasure to
the occasion.

The AGE OF SLANG.-This is
evidently the age of slang. The fast
young man of the present day is In
telligible to the matter of fact, slow
going fogy who had been left in the
meshes of the inexpensive vernacu-
lar of his fathers. The fast young
man, when be would drink land that's
always), asks for a "wash." When
he would smoke, he demands a
"torch." When he eats, he wrestles
his hash" When he is drunk, he is
"swipsey."9 When he CANDLES, be
"slings the pasteboards." When
he sleeps, he is "under the blinks,"
and when he steals, he "goes
through" somebody. His friends
are "gay ducks "no slouches,"
"bully boys" end "bricks." His
enemies are "hits," "dead BEATS"
and suckers A good writer
"flings a nasty quill" A dancer
"throws himself into q darling at
titude,' A man is "nib," q
woman chem" Would it not be
a paying thing for an enterprising
man to get up slang dictionary

gG Rain storms are Of almost
daily occurrence lately. The crops
are becoming drowned out, the plan
ters are distressed and the wheels OF
business rotate generally in dull
and languid way. We hope these
evils may prove only temporary,
and that by the commencement of
fall at the farthest, our planters and
others will realize brighter prospects
to be followed by brighter term Of
general prosperity.

IHE DEAD LETTER OFFICE AT
WAsHINaToN.-A correspondent of
the Boston Saturday Evening Ga
zette says:
The Dead Letter Office is one of
the1euriosities of Washington to the
strangers but to those engaged in it,
it is terrible drudgery,, The OPEN
ing, examining and sorting of four
teen thousand FIVE hundred letters
every six hours involves much hard
labor; but it must be done, for there
are four and a half millions Of dead
letters come to the Office every year.
All that are signed are returned to
the writer's; but SO many are written
by "Your afectionate Adie," or,
/" Your loving susy," that each clerk
has huge two bushel basket by
him, into which all letters unsigned
by the full name are dropped. From
that receptacle they pass to the
chopping mill, where they are cut
into small pieces, SO that they may
never be read, and from the chop
ping knife they go to the paper-milk
The great majority Of these letters
are lost through the careIessness of
the writers; and it surpasses my
power of Imagination to know, how
people can be SO careless, especially
when they send large sums of money.
Nearly fifty-eight thousand letters
came to this office last year, enclosing
bills or checks or bonds. AND how
much do you suppose these letters,
contained Over three millions and
a half Of dollars! One letter con-
tanned two one-thousand dollar bills:
it was returned to the writer. Another
had two hundred and fifty dollars, in
it. but nothing to show the name of
the writer. Fortunately the post
mark, thong h partly obliterated,
could still be read. The letter came
from Chicago, was re-mailed there
and advertised, and the owner came
forward, saying that when ne sent
the money he was in so much Of a |
hurry he forgot to add the name.
The most valuable letter, or rather
package, that turned up "dead, !" con-
tanned bonds worth over $4,000.
All sorts of curious articles come
here. I was standing by the other
day, when Che first letter contained
twenty-five dollars; soon after two
packages of medicine came along.
Sometimes duns, daguerreotypes, |
postage-stamps, bead-bags, even
snakes, bottles, etc., came through |
the general repository. Tt is an
omnium gatherum of all things.

political lassitude, in which the sound

are not very much mistaken, the arrangements
which have recently been completed in Vir-
ginia by Messrs. Bellot.des Mnieres & Com
pany, will do more to 'srestore the prestige OF
the Latin racesin America" than twenty Max
imilians. These French capitalists, who are
proprietors Of vast tracts of land in the Old
Dominion, including extensive coal and iron
fields, have succeeded at last in obtaining a
charter from both the Virginia legislatures,
emitting them to complete the James hl!er
and Kanawha Canal, that property having
passed into their hands by transfer from the
original corporation. By means OF this great
work, the Ohio will be connected with the sea
board, and safe, cheap, and very direct com o.
munication be opened up to the West. Nor
is this all. France needs coal, iron, shiptim-
Der, and these are to be found in immense
quantities along the liue of the proposed high
way. 1t is the intention Of the French COM
pany to avail itself of these resources and with
the active: cooperation of the home govern.
ment to proceed at once, as soon as the canal
shall be cut through, to a systematic develop.

wealth Of the Allegheny region.-N. 7. Post.
