The SUDDEN TUMBLE OF New STATE
BONDS. The New York Herald, of Fri
day last. in its review of the stock mar
ket on the preceding day, says:
The Southern State bonds were heavy
and lover under the depressing influence
of sharp decline in the new South Ca
rolina aixes, which fell from 541S to so,
rallying to 81. The cause of this de.
cline was the peremptory sale Of large
amount of the bonds which had been
for borrowed money, which
the borrower could not return on de-
mand.

AN OLD CITIZEN DEAD.-Thonas W.

rent contradictions in sacred history
could be explained, and oil its mysteries
laid open to the commonest understand.

far in his Investigations as to prepare

discoveries, but for some reason not now
recollected by the writer, the matter was
temporarily abandoned, mud we believe
never afterwards seriously entertained.

APPoRT1oNMENT OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
No action having been taken by Con-
gress at the last session on the appor-
tionment question, the Secretary of the
Interior, it is stated by the Washington
correspondent of the New York Tribune,
will, under the laws Of 1850 and 1862.
make the superintendent called for under
the census just taken. The number OF
Representatives will be 241, giving two
each to Illinois and Missouri, and one
each to Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Mime
sofa, New Jersey, Texas and Wisconsin.
New York will lose three. Ohio and
Pennsylvania two each. and Kentucky
one, while the New England States will
lose six in all. Some two or three States
will probably gain an additional mem
Der for large fractions, which will require
bhe action of Congress to authorize cleo
aions at large.

Prince Bismarck, who. it seems. can
do anything but be Idle, is now using
his efforts to assemble general postage
congress to perfect system of universal
postage. All countries joining the postal
league are TO use one and the same kind
of stamps, alike in appearance and value.
Present rates are to be reduced, and the
entire plan made to work harmoniously
and efficiently in small countries as we'll
as large. It is expected that most OF the
European States, and several Asiatic
and South American Governments will
at once join the postal federation. Pro-
vision will be made enabling nations
not joining at the inception of the league
to unite with it at any future time

The Gastein Conference, followed by
the meeting of Prussian and Austrian
Emperors at Salzburg, has led to the
adoption of treaty in which Germany
and Austria disown all aggressive designs
against each other, and unite in decla-
ration that they will. in spirit of neigh
borly comfy, oppose all aggression from
without. Germany, on her part, recog-
nizes the Importance of maintaining ''a
strong and Intact empire of Austria, 7"
while Austria declares that ''adhesion to
Germany is the will of the Austrian
Sovereign md her leading statesmen. =
Whether this latter declaration be utter
ed in honest sincerity of purpose, or be-
cause of the diplomatic pressure from
without, is nowhere definitely pro-
nounced upon. It is rnmored thet the
Emperor of Austria begins to find the
difficulties of his situation insurmount-
able, and looks forward to the relief
which retirement alone can bring. As
to Italy, the unity of the nation is to be
upheld and the rights of the King to be
maintained; but the italian Government
on its part agrees not to interfere with
the Holy See in any religious matter,
and is to return oil purely church pro-
perty to the Pope.

WORTHY Of Reflection.

A celebrated writer in speaking of the sacred
topic of friendship, says:
Money can buy many things, good and
evil. All the wealth of the world could not
buy you friend, nor pay you for the loss of
one. We are the weakest of spendthifts if
we let one friend drop through inattention, or
let one push away another, Or if we hold aloof
from one from petty Jealousy or needless slight
or roughness. Would you throw away dia-
mond because it pricked you ?-one good
friend is not to be weighed against the jewels
of all the earth. IF there is GOODNESS or un-
kindness between us, let US come face to face
and have it out. Quick, before love grows
cold "l4ife is too short to quarrel in,'' or to
carry black thoughts Of friends. If I am
wrong I am sorry if yon, then am sorrier
yet; for should not grieve for my friends
misfortune and the mendng Of your fault
does not lie with me. But the forgiving it
does, and that is the happier office Give me
your hand and call it even. There !! 1t is gone,
and | thank kind heaven I keep my friend
still a friend is too precious a thing to be
lightly held, but it must be little heart that
cannot find room for more than one or two
The kindness | feel towards you warns me to.
ward all the rest, makes me long to do some
thing to make you all happy 1t is easy to
lose friend, but new one will not come for
calling nor make up for the old one when he
comes.
If all men bore in mind the above senti-
'nents, there would be less GOODNESS and less
injustice in this world

Adam Beper keeps tavern in Allegheny.
One gloomy evening stranger presented
himself about bedtime, and asked to stay all
night.
"Ccrtainly," said Adam, cycling the rather
seed -looking stranger "Ifyou take break
fast, it will be youst one dollar"
"But have no money" said the man

what to do. IF you let me have lodging and
breakfast, I'll kill all the rats tomorrow"
"Done," said Belper, who had long been
desperately annoyed by the number of old
norways that infested his premises. So the
stranger, gaunt, sallow, melancholy looking
man, was shown to bed, aud, no doubt. had a
good sleep. After break fast the next morn

tract made the previous night.
s'What, kill rats Certainly" said the mel

thickest? ?"
"Dey are pratty dick in the barn-yard,"
answered Adam.
Swell, let's go out there" said the stran-
ger. "But stop! Have you got piece of
hoop iron 2"
A piece about fifteen feet long was given
to him, and he examined it carefully from one
end to the other. Expressing himself entire
ly satisfied, finally, aith its length and
strength, he proceeded to the barn accompani-

who were very anxious to see in what man
