7at DEAD LETTER effIcE.

According to semi-offlctai report,
during the year ending juno 80. 1872,
there were sent 10 the United States
Dead Letter Office nearly three mii,
lion letters, of which four hundred
thousand were not stamped, aud over
three thousand had no direction what
ever upon them. Money orders
amounting to over two million dollars
were found In these unstamped letters.
This account shows the necessity OF
placing the address Of the writers mt
the heal OF every letter; for even
in case the envelope should accider-
tally not be stamped or directed, the
clerks in the Dead Letter office would,
with this precautiol, have a clue to the
person to whom the money ought to
he returned. These remarks, Of course,
only apply to persons who write occa-
sionally. Merchants and business men
should use letter paper with a printed
heading and also "return enyelopos.'
With these precautions a letter Will
ordinarily reach its destination.

HE nomination Of Greeley and
Brown by the Democracy Is as great a
victory for freedom now as was the re-
election OF Abraham Lincoln In 1854.
The latter was a decree of the people
that the Union should live, that sla-
very should die, that to all citizens,
without respect to race, color, or re-
liglon, equal rights should be guaran-
teed. This nomination Is the formal
declaration by the Democracy that this
decree Is final. and the nation Is at
last a union upon the great questions
oy which. a few years ago, it was
racked with civil war.

THERE Is \ place in Oregon called
Smoky Valley, where the people have
q very curious way Of cooking. They
do not have the trouble Of making a
fire every morning when they wish to
get breakfast. They just walk out
with the kettles, coffee pots, and what
we else they need, and cook at the
boiling spring. The water seems a
great deal better than common boiling
water, and all they need to do Il to
hang their kettles In It for a short time
and their food Is nicely cooked. They
are able even to bake In It. The bread
IL put into a light saucepan, and
lowered into the boiling flood for an
hour or two, and then drawn up most
exquisitely baked. Meat 10 cooked,
and beans, which are the miners great
luxury. II takes but a minute to cook
eggs, or to make a pot Of coffee or tea;
but If there should chance to be \ "slip
'twlSt the cup and the lip" the food
would be gone beyond recovery.
