FRIDAY-Thera is o superstitous no.
ton extensively prevailing that Friday is
an "uulucky" day-that enterprises origi-
mated or begun on that day invariably
end badly, This superstition is peculi-
arly prevalent among sailors. An at
tempt was made in England at one time
to eradicate 1t by laying the keel of a
ship on Friday, launching her on Friday,
cristening her on Friday, and starting
her upon her voyage on Friday. 1t was
with great difficulty marines enough
could be found to man her. She started
upon her cruise, and that vas the last
that was ever heard of her, so that the
plan taken to eradicate the superstition
only confirmed it. Friday has been an
eventful and auspicious day in American
history, 1t was on Friday that Colum-
bus started on his voyage of discovery -
on Friiay, ten weeks after, he discovered
America. On Friday, Henry VII gave
John Cabot the commission that led to
the discovery of North America; on
Friday the Mayfower, with the pil-
grims, arrived at Princetowu on Friday
George Washington, was born; on
Friday Bunker Hill was seized and fort
flied; on Friday Saratoga was surren-
dered; on Friday CORVALLIS surren-
dered at Yorktown; and on Friday the
motion was made in Congress that the
United States were, and OF right ought

REQUIsITIoNs aggregating from
fifteen to twenty millions for new postal
cards were received at the Postollice
Department. Philadelphia alone wants
one million, first installment. As but
five million will be ready on the first
proximo, It will be necessary TO cut down
most of the acquisitions, and in doing
this preference will by given to larger
cities, where it is presumed the demand
will be greatest. Those acquisitions will
not be passed upon until the first Of May,
and Immediately after will be aert to the
postal card agency at Springfield, Mass,
to be filed. As it will take three or
four days to examine this requisition,
it is not probable that the new cards
will be on hand and for sale in the off
ferent larger cities before the 9Th or
10th of May.
