THE POST oEFICR,
The Postmaster Generals report fur
nishes full and clear exhibit of the opera
tions and condition of the postal service.
The ordinary postal revenue for the fiscal
year ending June 90, 1868, was $16,292,-
900, and the total expenditures, embracing
all the service for which special appropria-
tions have been made by Congress,
amounted 10 $22, 730, 592, showing an eX-
cess of expenditures of 81, 6,4S7,991. De-
ducting from the expenditures the sum Of
$i,S96, 525, the amount of appropria,
tions for ocean steamships and other
specisl service, the excess of expenditures
was $4,54l ,466. BY using an unexpended
balance in the Treasury of $3,S00,0 1000,
the actual sum for which O special appro.
priation is required TO meet the deficiency
is $74l, ,266. The causes which produced
this large excess Of expenditure over rev.
enue were the restoration Of service in the
late iusurgent States and tho putting into
operation OF new service abolished by acts
Of Congress, which amounted the last
two years and q half TO about S4S, 7OO,-
600, equal TO more taan one-third OF the
whole amount of the service at the close
of the war. New postal conventions with
Great Britain, North Germany, Belgium,
the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy,
respectively, have been carried into effect.
Under their proYisionsimportant improve
ments have resulted In reduced rates Of
international postage, and enlarged mail
facilities with European countries. The

Miss Belle Boyd, whose name ac.
quired some prominence during the
civil war, appeared last Friday night
at the French Theatre in New York.
The Tribune says of her performance /:
Miss Boyd scarcely has a single quail
tication for the art of acting. She en-
deavored TO play "Juliana," ;" in "The
Honeymoon" but never for moment
identified herself with the character.
Her dignity was so palpably fictitious
that breath would have blown it
away. Strength of nature she express
ed by feeble and uncertain bluster-
and all the rest was parrot-like itni-
tation of the conventional stage busi-
ness that has always been done in this
part. Her voice Is thin and weak. for
the purposes of the stage, and her man
ner was excessively awkward. Real
dramatic talent commonly gives some
hint of its existence, however con-
strained the performer may be by the
nervousness incident TO a debut. But,
in the case OF Miss Boyd, there was no
hint OF such talent. With several sea-
sons of practice she might, possibly,
qualify herself for "a position in a stock
company: but, meantime, her assump-
tton of the character of leading
actress is simply foolish. The acting

particular mention. AS Il whole, tho

Never talk at one another, either
alone or in company.
Never both manifest anger at once.
Never speak loud to one another, un-
less the house is on fire.
Never reflect on pust action, which
was done with good motive and with

Let each ono strive to yield oftenest
to the wishes of the other.
Let self-abnegation be the daily aim
and effort of each.
The very nearest approach to domes-
tic felicity on enrLh is in the mutual
cultivation of IN absolute unselIish-

Never make II remark at the expense

Never part for day without loving

sides you may not meet again in life.
They who marry for physical charac-
teristics, will fail OF happiness; thew
who marry for traits of mind and henrt.
Will never fail OF perennial springs OF
domestic enjoyment.
They are safest who marry from the
standpoint of sentiment rather than
from that of feeling, passion or mere
love.

There has been a decidedly better
feeling in business circles for week
past. Money is abundant, and the in
creased demand for it is met more free

goods, which have ruled so exceedingly
