What Money Will Do.

The appearance of real money will produce change in manners and cus- toms and ill speech. Pocketbooks will go out and purses will come in. Tocarry even two or three dollars worth of halves, quarters and dimes in @ small, fiat leather pocketbook IS inconvenient, and indeed almost impossible. And so the pretty little leathern things which have made such show in the cases of the fancy stores will fall in value and gradually pass out of use. Young ladies may now net purses again for the gentle men to whom they wish to show par ticular favor; and men who scorn such vanities, and who prefer to carry their change loose in their pockets, must needs insist upon domestic inspection and repairing of those important parts of their apparel. Opulent persons, who like to handle their funds and attract at- tention to their possession of the precious metals, may again bestride the hearth and soothe their sense of touch and hearing by jingling such silver as they carry in the pouches of their neither garments. Elegant people will, after a while. no longer call money " stamps. If they do not return to theformer beau GleS OI puEdSoOAOSy uPOu Guo SupJocO, and call it "tin, "spoons, /" " brads, or "rocks," they must needs invent some other synonyms equally accurate and expressive. For some years past it has been said of an eligible party of either sex that he or she Chad the stamps;" and the slang had almost be- come an accepted phrase, so that people not meaning to be slangy would say that they hadn't the stamps to do this or that thing, meaning that they hadn't the money and could not afford to do what they wished or were asked to do. This use of 'stamps" for "money" is one of those traits of language that have an historical significance, and record, like other peculiarities in manners and GUS toms, the experience of the people among whom they were ill vogue.-

The Sultan'S Suicide.

The official report on the cause of the death of the late ex-sultan of Turkey, signed by nineteen physicians of all na. tionalities, contains the following state ment: Upon being summoned by the sultan to ascertain the cause of the death of Abdul Aziz Khan, e-found the body lying on mattress. All parts of the body were cold and bloodlcss, except that the outside was covered with coagu- lated blood. The body was not rigid. The eyes and mouth were partially open. Limpid streaks of blood were upon the arms and legs. The veins ana cubital artery below the bend of the left arm were cut. Only the small veins of the right arm were cut; the arteries were intact. We were shown a pair of very sharp and blood stained scissors, and were told that Abdul Aziz himself in fiicted the above described wounds herewith. We are unanimously of the opinion that death resulted from hemor- rhage of the vessels of the arms, and the scissors might produce the wounds. Lastly, the direction and nature of the wounds, and the instrument which is said to have produced them, caused us to come to the conclusion that the case is one of suicide.

Labor in a Ost.Office.

A reporter who has been Investigating the work of the New York post-ofice employees, states that there are dropped into the various letter boxes, in the main building, in the branch offices, and in the street boxes, on an average, each day, 259, 976. All these are to be as- sorted and distributed and sent to the persons to whom they are directed, through the proper channels. There are received in the mails daily average of 19,273. Letters are dispatched for 338 post-ofices and rinety-two routes in 624 bags or pouches, and weighing 4,368 pounds. The paper mails are, of course, very much more bulky than tine letter mails, as glance at the official figures will show. There are an average of l, ,479 sacks received daily for distri- button, making weight of 1O3, no pounds. The average number of sacks dispatched daily to 308 post-offices over 128 routes, is 653, weighing 15,5OO pounds. There are distributed 839 sacks of second class, and 634 sacks of third class newspaper matter. This makes a total of 279,249 letters; 1,277 bags and pouches, weighing 117,754 pounds of domestic mail matter handled daily.
 The foreign mail matter IS by no means a small item. The average number of letters received daily by steamers is 24, 689, weighing 502 pounds, contained in twenty bags. The average number of bags of paper mail is forty-nine, weigh ing 1,779 pounds. The number of let ters dispatched by steamers rather ex- ceeds the amount received. The aver age daily number of letters received is 30, O29, weighing 556 pounds. The aver age number of bags of papers dis patched is forty-fve, weighing 1,49O pounds.
 The amount of mail matter handled in the course of year will thus be seen to be perfectly enormous. The number of letters handled in the year 1875 was PA. 739,0OO. The number of bags and pouches carried was 5O9, ,76O. The num- Der of pounds of mail matter handled and dispatched was 47,262, 960, or, in other words, 2, 109, 600 tons~

Frozen to Death in May.

Two Swedes, crossing the Snowy Range, Colorado, on foot, left the Sum- init House, in Berthoud pass, and started down the west slope. Both carried bun dles of blankets and provisions, each pack weighing seventy-fve or eighty pounds. Two days afterward one re- turned to tho Summit House. Ho was snowblind, frostbitten, and had barely strength enough to walk. He reported that his companion had frozen to death. Soon after leaving the Summit the storm set in, and they became bewildered, be- numbed with cold, and lost their way. They threw away their blankets to facili- tate their movements, and the matches with which they were provided, being wet, refused to ignite. A party of men at Summit went down the trail, or road, and found the dead Swede. The snow was so deep that the removal of the body seemed out of the question then, so they buried it temporarily under six feet of Gnnw

The New Jersey Potato Crop.

The Trenton (N. J.) Gazette says |: There seems to be no reason to doubt that the New Jersey potato crop will this year be certain and total failure. The Colorado bugs have already ap- pcared in myriads all over the State, and are everywhere prosecuting their destructive onslaught upon the young potato plants. They never before ap- peared so early as this, nor in such countless numbers. This strange and alarming Rocky mountain pest puts in an appearance at the very beginning of the potato season, and in such vast hordes as to make it seem hopeless to attempt tol contend with them. It probably is hopeless undertaking. They are everywhere attaeking the pc tato plants, and even the roots and young tubers, in swarming hosts, and with voracious energy that is disheart ening. We hear of their ravages in every part of the State, and there seems no reason to doubt that they will con- tinue the campaign by successive broods, all the summer.

Happy Every Day.

When you rise in the morning, form the resolution to make the day happy one to fellow creature. It is easily done; @ left-off garment to the man who needs; kind word to the sorrow full; an encouraging expression to the striving-trifies in themselves as light as air-will do at least for the twenty four hours. And if you are young, de- pend upon it, it will tell when you are old; and if you are old, rest assured it will send you gently and happily down the stream of time to eternity. By the most simple arithmetical sum, look at the result. If you send one person away happily through the day, that is 365 in one year. And suppose you live forty years only after you commence that course of medicine, you have made IA, 600 persons happy-at all events for a time,
