the following letter.
TREASURY DEPARTMENT, March 20, 1867.
"GESTLEMEN Your communication Of the
2lst inst. is received, appealing, (4,087) from
the decision Of the collector at Boston in as
sessing duties under the act Of March 2,
1867, on certain merchandise imported by
you per steamer Asia on the Sd inst, and al
ieging that such merchandise is only liable
to the rates Of duty as existed by law prior
to the date OF said act, for the reason that at
the time Of its arrival in the United States
the said act had not received the signature
Of the President Of the United States. In
reply, you are respectfully informed that
said act, as officially received at this Depart
ment, bears upon its face the fact that it was
signed and approved by the President Of the
United States on the I'd day Of March, 1867,
and that it provides that the rates of duty
therein prescribed shall be imposed on the
merchandise therein provided for, from and
after its passage. The decision Of the col
lector, therefore, is herebyafiirmed.

WORKING PEoPLE.-It is very common
error, says the New York Sun, to reg ard a
mechanic or other working man as well of
or the reverse, according to the amount OF
his salary or wages, without giving due i'm.
portance to his necessary expenditures. A
man may receive very large salary and yet
be actually poorer than one who receives
only half as much for his services. Many
men have attained immense wealth on the
principle, not of making more money than
their fellow.men, but of spending less.
