THE Registry Department is one of
the great conYeniences of our Postofice
system. A registered letter is safer than
the ordinary letter, because it is entered
in a record book, sealed up in special
envelope, receipt for it is taken of
every agent or Postmaster who receives
it, and it is committed to the personal
custody of the mail agent, instead of be-
ing put into the mail bag.

ton of the denomination of S. of the

that forty-fge years ago Mr.. James
Taylor, now an old farmer living in
Washington county, n. Y, bought,
among other things with which he began

clock, of the pattern of that period. It
has faithfully performed its duty as a
time-keeper ever since, and as he says,
is "always reliable" One remarkable
thing about the old clock is, that it has
never been cleaned or oiled, nor taken
apart, and mas needed no repairs what
ever during this time, except on two or
three occasions, when he himself has
put IN new cords for the weights.
IT is a necessary requisite of Missis-
sippi edit or TO be as expert with the pis-
toll as with the per. The other day, at a
meeting of one of the ward clubs in
Vicksburg, one of the orators criticised
the course of the Vicksburg Herald and
its editor concerning some State matter
of discussion, whereupon the editor, Col
McCardle, addressed polite note to
the local politician, asking if he was cor

received communication stating that

This disclaimer was deemed satisfactory,
and all is now serene.
