Population of New York,

The census cnumerAtors are busy
counting the inhabitants Of the State Of
New York. Thus far, says tho Hera'd,
We have returns from two.thirds Of the
counties. These returns embrace forty
counties md seventeen cities. They
show, thus far, II population Of ., 995, 79S
An increase upon the census OF 1870 of
20j, POI. 1t is thought that the increase
III population. NIL told, will advance the
unit Of legislative representation Ill the
Assembly to thirty-iive thousand, md III
tho Senate to one hundred and thirty
eight thousand, giving New York seven
Senators aud twenty-ninc AssembIymcn.
In II few counties like Chcuango, Della.
ware, Livingston md st. Lawrence,
there is decrease Of population, but
generally the population llas largely in
creased, especially in Albany, Buffalo
and New York. In the interior towns
the advance is only moderate. Rochcs-
ter and Syracuse show Il large increase.
The sain is mainly nominal i'll Rochcs-
ter, arising from the territories added to
the city by annexation. New York
gains partly i'll this way on account Of
the annexation to the city proper of the
lower districts Of Westchcstcr county.
So far MS that city is concerned, enough
is known to show that it has popula.
ton Of at least eleven hundred thousand
souls, md most likely twelve hundred
thousand. In Brooklyn the return is
about five hundred thousand.

T. A deadly personal feud in Texas has
Just been abatcd by the death of one Of
the parties. These were two doctors,
Malle.te nid Manning, practicing in the
neighborhood of Serbin. There were
professional iealousics between them,
md they hated each Other Us only pro.
fessional rivals can. Some months ago
they met, and, agreeing 10 have it out,
went to IL shop, selected each knife and
seeking III open place, began deadly
duel. They were separated before either
WIS MORALLY wounded, each vowing fu-
turc vengeance. They recovered slowly
from their wounds. Maming's head Ind
been almost severed from his body, and
during his recovery he became feArfully
detormcd, his head being drawn, by the
cutting Of the muscles, out Of its, natural
position. Ho retired to Bell county
while convaleseing, still nursing his
wrath against MAllettc, who, upon his
part, was no more forgiving. No sooner
WIS Manning lomiciled in his old homo
than his enemy sought him with gun.
Manning, however, was ready for him,
and shot him dead rs soon MS he made
his Appearance. No lCorsican vendettns
were ever more implacable than some OF
these quarrcls III the Southwest.

Results orthey FAILURE

2 Not half hour passes, says n London
correspondent Of the Tribune, that 7 do
not hear OF cases Of distress arising from
the failure of DUNCAN, Sherman & Co.
Nlnny OF the holders Of the paper are
wealthy and will suffer only temporary
Inconvenience. The telegraph will aid
them to open new credits, and in q day
or two they will have money again. But
probably the minority of the losers are
persons to whom the event will be real
hardship, rs they have no reserve fund
upon which to rely. Ihnye heard Of q
lady who came to Europe q few months
ago intending to reside here and educate
her children, MS she could do so much
more clieaply than in Now York. She
deposited all her money-what her hns-
band had left her Mt his tlcatli-with
Duncan, Sherman 4 Co., and took their
letters Of credit. She WENT to make n
draft, and you well know what news she
received. She has not $40 in her pos
session, md there are rent and school
bills due. She Inns no wealthy friends
here or in America, and what will she
dot Is il strange that her excitement
and alarm are 80 great TINT some OF her

Russia and the United States.

The Courier dos Etds Lmis throws
some light upon tho apparent GOODNESS
Of Russia toward our Centennial cxposi-
ton. Says the Cbmricr:: Mr.. Jewell,
postmaster general, WIS United States
Minister ut st. Petersburg when the
invitation WIS presented to tho govern
ment OF the emperor to tako part in the
exposition, and he gives two explanations
OF the refusal with which il was met.
First, said hc, the ear does not wish to
accept the invitation Of II private corpora.
ton, even when it IL transmitted by
sovereign government. Then, he thinks
that ono exposition III ten years is
enough for tho industrial strength Of
Russia. That Of Vienna, which took
place only three years ago, showed Tint
Russia wns by no means n productive
country to The samo extent rs several
other States, and lle. deems it ,mwisc to
engage ut much expense III u new ontGr.
prise Of the same kind, from which no
moral Or material advantage for his
Statcs could result.

I'Ost.onlce Boxes.

Is there postal Inv or regulation
limiting the use. of post:oilice boxes to
the firm or parties who rent them, and
to their clerks and Immediate family ?
In other words, are persons, friends OF
the owner of box, allowed to have their
mail matter put in that box if they have
the owners permission I II there is
such law prohibiting this, pray what is
the penalty incurred for breaking it?
Reply.-The United States postal
regulations, page 1856, sec. I19S, limit the
use Of box or drawer to one family,
firm or company. Sec. 901 provides that
he may have letters addressed to friend
staying lawfully, with him placed in the
box il directed TO his c,re or to the mum.
Der OF the box, but letters addressed to
other persons residing in the same place
and living and doing business separate
and apart from the box-holdcr arc not
entitled to its use. There is 10 penalty
attached to the receiver, this being II
regulation or simple instructions issued
to the postmaster. Ii he does not obey,
the penalty may be his dismissal from
Office. II lie chooses to allow tho priv.
lego in the facc Of his orders, tho re-
