Lively Stock Operations.

The current of recent events has given
great impetus to business in Wall street,
and many successful turns are reported
where immense profits are made in
short periods. The most successful way
that we have heard OF yet for operating
in stocks is by the Combination Method
Of Messrs. Lawrence 4 Co., Bankers,
New York. BY this system thousands
Of orders in various sums are pooled in
TO one vast capital and operated under
the most experienced and skillful man
agement, thus securing to each share
holder superior advantages and profits,
not possible in any other way. Profits
are paid at the end OF 80 days. 4 gen
tleman in Boston made S74T.30 on an in
vestment OF 500. Many others are do
ing as well or better. Capital in any
amount from $40 to 100000 can be used
with equal proportionate success by this
Combination or Co-Operdtire Method.
So would made So, or per cent. on
the stock; 500 would return $500, or 9
per cent. during the month, and so on,
according TO the market. The new cir
Cular contains two unerring rules for
success" and full information, so that
anyone can operate with profit. Stocks
and bonds wanted. Deposits received.
Government bonds supplied. Apply to
Lawrence q Co., Bankers, 81 Exchange

How the Ex-Emprcss Received
the News of the Death of Her

London Telegraph June p.
"Thc Empress the Due de
RaSsano remarked, Learned the news,
in fact bv accident last night. Some
friend of VI. Pietri hearing OF the dlSas-
ter which had betallen the Prince wrote
him a letter, which he sent by rail, warn
ing him 10 prepare Tor sad, and, indeed,
painful intelligence. Somehow or other
the Empress opened this letter, and al
though unable to exactly comprehend
its import, feared unhappy tidings. She
knew her son had been i'll and she
naturally dreaded to hear that he was
worse. However, no more intelligence
came until this morning, when Lord
sydney, who had received Il message
from Lady Frere, and also the command
of the Queen, came round TO COmmuni-
cate the terrible news to the Empress,
together with the expression OF Her
MajeStv'S sympathy. | received him
and upon me the duty devOlved OF
breaking the fearful news. | asked per-
mission To see the Empress, who motto
inc probably from the expression OF my
countcnancc that was greatly troubled,
begred TO know at once all had to tell
her. said Madame, the Prince Is
very IN, more dangerously ill than he
was when we last heard. Immediately
Her Majesty exclaimed, 4 will 90 to hmm;
must 90 to which | replied nothing
and retired. \ quarter OF an hour clapS-
Ell and then returned to her. | told
her that further news had come, which
made the aspect of affairs still graver.
She cried out, 4 will 90 at once; where
is hep to which replied, 1T is too late,
Madame. on hearing which, Her MajcS-
tv burst into Il flood Of tears, cXclaiming,
Non fi, MON pouue Hs,' and | left her."

A Pleasing Woman.

What is more charming than an
agreeable, graceful woman? Here and
there we meet one who possesses the
iairy-likc power OF enchanting all about
her: sometimes she is ignorant herself
of the magical influence, which is, how
ever, for that rcasan only the more per.
iect. Her presence lights mp the home;
her approach is like a cheering warmth;
she passes by and We are content; she
STAYS while and we are happy. To
bchol her is 10 live; she Is the aurora
with a human face. She has no need to
do more than simple To be; she makes
an Eden of the house; paradise brcathcS
from her; and she communicates
this delight 10 all, without taking any
greater trouble than that of existing
beside them. Is not here an incStlma-
ble gift?

IMPORTANT PART OF THE
CENSUS.
The Aid of Physicians Invoked
i'm Obtaining Vital Statistics.
Pittsburgh Telegraph,

AAAtSbAAsA ANANe%NfAs
In obtaining the United States Cen
sus reports it has always been found
difficult, and even impossible, to pro-
cure information in regard to the time
or cause of death, the age OF the deceas-
ed, or other circumstances that ought
To be reported. There is perhaps UNI
certainty as to whether death occurred
within the year, or a little before 1t; or
perhaps the name of the disease from
which death resulted is unknown, or
the deceased was among strangers, who
knew little of him, and are unable to
answer as to his age or occupation.
To obviate such troubles, and obtain
results with which the returns may be
compared, and by which their accuracy
NAV TO a certain extent be tested, Gen
erai Walker, Superintendent OF the Cen
sus. is taking measures to obtain re-
turns from all the practicing physicians
and surgeOps in the United States, num-
bering $4,000 or 10000, as to the deaths
occurring in their practice during the
wear which will end on the 3lst OF May,
1865 Already 10 several practitioners
i'm this city and in Allegheny, book
has been sent containing twenty blank
forms and Il page OF explanation. III
more than twenty-four deaths occur
within the year in any physician s prac-
iice. one or more additional books can
be had on application to the Census
Bureau. The blanks call for the place
and date of death, the name, sex, race
or color, age, with date OF birth, and oc-
cupation of the deceased, the cause or
causes of death, or the symptoms where
causes cannot with certainty be given,
and the fact that a post morton examlna-
ton was or was not held.
BY the adoption OF this plan informa-
ton will be obtained from class OF men
OF high average intelligence, and the
particulars of death can be recorded
either at the time OF the occurrence or
comparativelv soon thereafter. The
form booke described ore already III
course of distribution, and physicians
thus receiyeing them being thus appris-
eel of the points on which information
is desired will be able 10 make such In
quiries as will elicit any information
essential to the completeness OF their
returns.
