U The report of the Postmaster
General just received, shows that the
ordinary revenues ofthis department
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1873,
were $22;996,74l 81, and the expendi-
lures of all kinds $29, 1854, GAS 81. For
the year ended June 80, 1872, the ordi-
nary revenues were $2l ,9l5, 426 81, and
the expenditures S26,G58;l92 81. The
estimated expenditures for the coming
year are s33. 929,9l2, and the revenues
$29, 293 $40, leaving deficiency of s4,-
636, 1863 to be provided. Of valuable
letters registered and unregistered g.
l65 went astray, the registered letters
containing over 100000 in bonds,
drafts and currency, and the unregis-
tered over SIC, 900. No less than S27,-
459.l58 letters were exchanged during
the year with foreign countries Let
tiers representing an actual or nominal
value of $685. 67 were received at the
Dead Letter Office, the greater number
of which were returned to their owners
or writer's. From unclaimed dead let
tiers $6,208 was paid into the United
States Treasury. The postal card sys-
tenn is pronounced success.

"Die With My Face to the Foe"

A single shot, followed by loud
shrek, told us that one of my men
bradley was hurt. He proclaimed
his agony with loud voice, turned over
on his back, and commenced kicking
so vigorously that the surgeon had diff
ficulty in getting near him.
"Poor fcllow!" said the doctor, as no
saw a wliitish liquid oozing out, "slot
in the bladder. I'm afraid it's fatal"
And he commenced opening his
coat.
ooh, my God!" said Bradley, "l'm a
dead man."
"Keep your spirits, my boy; never
|say dead" said Captain johnson,
kneeling kindly over him.
"Doctor," asked the wounded SOL

mother and tell her that died brave

eyes," said the doctor, with dim
eyes and husky voice, II will write
and tell her, too"
But suddenly springing to his feet,
with an indignant voice said:
"Why, confound it, you're not hurt
a bit. It's only your canteen that is
shot, and that's the water from it
Get up, will you!"
Bradley raised himself up slowly,
felt himself all over, and with an ex-
ceedingly foolish countenance, crawled
back to his position amid the uproar-
ious laughter Of the whole company.
For months after that, on the march
or in camp, and sometimes in the still
ness of the night, you would hear a
voice in some direction demanding:
"What shall tell your motherf"
and perhaps half a dozen voices would
DO heard: "Tell her I died with my
face to the foe," and then Bradley
would ceme out and hunt the man
that said it.
He seldom found him, but when he
did there was certain to be a tight

Her clerks have also the peculiar

VANCE AND SETTLE Ex-Governor
Vance passed through Greensboro on
Ills way to Richmond on last Monday,
to make Kemper speech. At the de-
pot lie was met by Judge Settle, when
tho following little dialogue took
place:
settle.-"Ha1lo, Vance, where are
you going? ~
Vance.-'I amt had a bite at the
Radicals now for long time, and I'm
slttin' mighty hungry, and Pm going
to Richmond to make a Kemper,

Settle.-"You had better quit that,
it is time you was coming over to our
party now"
Vance.-'No use to be in a hurry
about it, a man can go to he'll any time
he wants to-"
Settle concluded Vance WASN'T ready
yet, and stepped off to speak to a
f1iend.-[Western Sentinel.

e. Karl Hidebrand says that no.
where is honesty more general than in
France; it is found everywhere aud in
every station, from the poorest day la
borer to the millionaire. Thieves and
swinalers on scale there are, of course,
butno more than in England aud Amer
lea; petty breaches of trust are abso-
lutely unknown. Servants and work
men are scrupulously honest; thefts
about houses, the disappearance o t
small articles and petty frauds are
never heard Of.

Manual Of Health.

An edition of between nine and ten
millions of copies of very useful work
is now ready for gratuitous distribu-
ton, and can be had for the asking at
any drug store in the United States,
the British Colonies, Spanish America
or Brazil. The work referred to is
Hostetter's Almanac for 1874. The
medical portion of it treats of the va
lious ailments to which the human
system is subject, and sets forth the
peculiar properties of Hostetter's Sto-
mach Bitters-the purest and bes t
tonic at present known-as preserv-
alive of health and strength, and as a
remedy for debility and disease. The
Almanac is printed in all the principal
languages Of the civilized world, and
reaches larger number of families
and individuals than any other medi-
cal treatise that ever issued from the
press. No man Or woman who has a
due regard for that choicest of heav-
ems blessings, bodily vigor, should fail
to read the plain, simple and convinc-
ing articles which this truly practical
publication contains. The miscellane-
Gus matter is varied, instructive and
amusing, and the calendar department
copious and comprehensive. Hostel
ter's Almanac is, in short, household
convenience, adapted to the use of all
classes and callings. The farmer, the
planter, the miner, the merchant, the
mechanic, the laborer, the professional
man, all need it; and to invalids Of
both sexes it is literally an article Of
prime necessity. The medical techni-
calities which render SO many medical
treatises intended for popular use un-
Ineligible to the general reader, have
been carefully avoided in this pam
phlet. All is clear, explicit, forcible,
and reconciliable with reason and com.
mon sense.
The proprietors, Messrs. Hostetter
and Smith, Pittsburg, Pa, on receipt
Of a two cent stamp, will forward
copy by mail to any person who can
not procure ono in his neighborhood

Work.

Young men sometimes think it is
not respectable to be at work. They
imagine there is some character of dis
grace or degradation belonging to toll.
No greater mistake could be made
Instead of being disgraceful to engage
in work, it is especially honorable. 1t
is the useless, not the useful, man who
does nothing; who eats the bread he
does not earn; who lies upon others to
support his life. 1t is he who is not
respectable, because he is doing moth
ing to command respect.
It is surprising to see how many
young men there are at the present
day who are growing up to habits OF
idleness. Having nothing else to do;
their nights and often their days are
spent in places OF i'll repute. Craving
excitement they seek the gaming table.
They find stimulant in Intoxicating
liquors. They look upon labor with
aversion; if not with absolute repug-
nance, and follow courses which end
only in shame. How many men now
m mi Idle life look back with regret
upon many lost moments spent BY
them in idleness, and lament their lives
are now beyonn retrieval. Prepare,
young men, while yet you have a
chance, against such sorrowful per-
iod. Do not allow yourself to grow up
without anything to do. Believe thai
any labor which will furnish occupa-
ton for the mind and hands is better
than life which accomplishes moth.
ing, and which will by and by be full
of misery.

/ n@. Poor little Alexandria Town
has livened up in the last week,
and for the nonce seems to have
grabbed some vitality and bust
ness life. Country folks and dar-
kies have poured in with their bot
tom greenbacks and have purchased
their little tricks in advance OF
Christmas and lent some material
aid to the dropping spirits and
pockets of our merchants and ira
ders, who have been dS ing by de-
grees Of the blues! And again 1t
being Court week, with a grand
Jury empanelled and earnestly at
work, with the Court and District
Attorney en- bon point and jealous
ly down to their work, it must not
be wondered that We proclaim
there is yet life in the old Town.
May she improve and prosper to
the full size she deserves is the
fervent wish Of this old chap, who
has risen and dropped with her,
and who awaits with some hope
the silver lining to her cloud.
