TIE PosrMAsrERs' QuAsDARY.-The
decision Of the Attorney General that a
postmaster has no right to seize aud open
letters on suspicion that they contain IN.
mailable matter, leaves the Postmaster
General in quandary as to what effect
shall be given to the lottory law, which
declares that lottery culars, ticket, etc,
are unavailable. Unless letters under
some circumstances can be seized and
opened, how can the transmission Of such
unavailable matter be prevented? II the
postmaster Enors that unavailable first-
class matter, is being sent, he can stop 1t.
The next point to be ascertained Ia pre-.
cisely when the postmaster gets beyond
mere suspicion and belief and commences
to know with sufficient certainty TO justify
him in interfering with the mails.

without describing something YOU see, and keep
this up for few weeks before presenting your
self M a newspaper office II YOU find nothing
to write about take u newspaper. read over an
article carefully, and then writ" all you can re-
member Of IL in your own language. This last
method IL one OF the best you could adopt, as II
composition. In writing over these articles nj
ways endcavor to condensc them; give the facts
stated in your model in half the space, If pos
sihle. Learn Ia write clear, simple Eng
sh II small word will do, never put
a large one in It's place. II you are
reporting. report and do not nterard your de-
scrptions of scenes and events with original
remarks upon the same, and thus save the over
worked city or night editor the trouble Of cut
ting out your Wisdom, rs he certainly would.
| III YOU have any original Ideas store thrm M
until you are promoted 10 the editorial chair,
whore YOU will probably need them all. Never
refuse to report even the most Objectionable Of
occurrences, let IL be n murder execution, OF
| what not. II your scnsibilitics are too refined

the insane asylums Nobody would be any
the poorer in consequence of withdrawing
his attention from business for one day in
the week
But the Obserrer really defeats the laud-
able end it has in view in separating the
affairs OF this world from those of the world
TO come, by inserting advertisements in con-
epcuous type In its Religious Depart
ment." Indeed, advertisers seem to prefer
TO put their notices In the pages devoted to
Sunday literature. Probably they think
that on Sunday the subscribers to the o.
seruer will be likely to peruse their an
nouncements more carefully than they
would on week days, during which the
Secular Department alone engages their
attention. Yet if there is anything pecu-
liarly worldly it is an advertisement. from
which a dealer hopes to get a substantial re-
ward in the way of custom. The Obserrr
therefore utterly spells its plan of separating
Sunday reading from weekday reading by
permitting the greed Of its publisher TO put
advertisements Of things to bc bought and
soll in It's Religious Department.

The suicide ofJosEPH SOUTHEASTERN yes
tcrday in a Bowery hotel was not caused by the
desperation that has resulted in some instances
recently from the vain search for employment
He had been honorably and lucrativey employ
ed almost from boyhood. and he had a small re-
serve laid by in savings bank. But nervous
disorder that seemingly. physicians could moi
cure. destroyed his courage. and SO he took his
own life As in many such cases, there was Il
ray Of hope left for ScHErERsTEIN. Awaiting
him in the Office in which he WAS employed was
an encouraging letter from an eminent physician
who seems to have entertained no doubt Of his
recovery.
