THE statement issued from the Treas
Try Department very satisfactorily ex
plains why the accumulated silver and
,old in the government Golfers is not
lsed to liquidate bonds payable at the
,ption of the government. There have
'een no bonds payable at the option of
he government since the completion of
efunding operation twelve monts since.
he only way to extinguish the bonded
ebt at present is to bid in bonds in the
pen market, as is done.

A MYSTERIOUS Stabber.

Considerable excitement has
been aroused within the last few
days at Strasburg by the extre-
ordinary proceedings OF a mya-
ferrous stranger, who makes his
appearance regularly at nightfall
in one or the other of the less
frequented thoroughfares, armed
with sharp, double-ed8ed
poinard, aud, as soon as he per-
ceives an unprotected female
saunters up TO her in lelsurely
way and strikes her on the right
breast with his weapon, inficting
slight wound Of from half to
three-quarters OF an inch deep.
Since the 18th inst. he has sue
ceeded in stabbing no fewer
than fifteen women and girls in
this manner, upon each occasion
taking to flight as soon as he
had made his coup, and before
his panlc-stricken victims had
sufficiently recovered from their
terror to raise an alarm. The
Imperial police authorities have
made search for this eccentric
misdemeanant - described by
those who have felt the point OF
his dagger as young, slight in
build, and well dressed-in all
the hotels, inns, and lodging
houses of the venerable cathedral
city, but as yet to no purpose
They have plaearded the town
with official warnings addressed
to heads of families, urging them
not to permit their wives and
daughters to traverse the streets
alone after dark, and e1hortine
the male population of Strasbure
,, to assistgthe police in discover
: ing and arresting this dangerous
malefactor. The placards il
question were published early
on Sunday evening last. Three
hours later two young girls were
stabbed, both in the right breast
while returning home from YES
pers through streets by no mean
void of pedestrians at the tim

Postal Cards.

The postal card is little over
six years old in this country, yet
it is doing we'll as could he ex-
pected for its age. 1t has only
two enemies, the man who re-
ceives duns on it, and the manu-
facturers Of writing paper. The
little postal causes decrease of
from twelve to fifteen million
dollars everyssyear in the business
of the writing paper trades in
this country. Postal cards are
made at Holyoke, and forty men
are continually employed at their
manufacture The cardboard is
furnished in packages Of 5000
each, and every sheet is made
into forty postals. Three presses
are kept going night and day. A
machine Sits the sheets into
strips of ten cards each, and
these in turn are cut into single
cards and dumped in piles OF
twenty-five cards each, when
they are packed by girls in paste
board boxes containing 500 cards.
A government officer is constantly
on hand to see that no pilfering
of cards is done. The Holyoke
mandatory turns out about a
million cards a day. Last year
there we're used in this country
two hundred and forty-six mil.
lion, sixty-three thousand and
sixty cards. Of the new inter.
national card introduced a few
weeks since, there haYe beer
two millions used already. The
government keeps on hanc
twenty-five million of the posta
cards.

Reading aloud has its physic-
al advantages while contributing
to the cultivation of the voice,
and the lungs are thus expanded
and their healthy action is pro-
NOTED in q degree which does
not occur in mere conversational
utterances. The use of the voice
in singing demonstrates the full
capacity OF the lungs, yet in no
more practical sense than can be
reached by Evolutionary exer-
cises. A distinguished medical
man says of this exercise ::
Reading aloud, when properly
done, has great agency in in
ducing vocal power, on the same
principle that muscles are trained
BY exercise, those OF the voice.
making organs being no excep-
ton to the general rule" Hence,
in many cases, absolute silence
diminishes the vocal power, just
as the protracted disuse of the
arm Of the Hindoo, devotee at
length paralyzes- it forever. The
general plan in appropriate cases
is to read aloud in a converse
tional tone thrice day for a
minute or two at a time, increas-
ing minute every day, which is
to be continued until the desired
object is accomplished. Man.
aged thus, there is safety and ef.
fciency as q uniform result.

Frightful Vengeance.

A few weeks ago a respecta-
BILE old peasant farmer in Rou-
melia, smitten by the charms of
a young gypsy girl belonging to
a tribe that had squatted in the
neighborhood of his farm, induc-
ed the maiden to listen to his
addresses, and finally obtained
her consent to become his wife.
He received several warnings
from sundry of her gypsy lovers,
couched in threatening terms,
but was so infatuated by her
surprising beauty that he disre-
garded these monitions and mar
ried her. On his wedding night
a number of stalwart gypsy
youths broke into his house,
seized him in his bridal bed,
bound him to a plank, and de-
liberately sawed him two, having
previously strangled his young
wife before his eyes. On the
same night the tribe struck It's
tents and decamped, nor have
the authorities as yet succeeded
in laying hands upon the perpe'
traitors of the crime.

Farming Under the Sea.

The fact is not generally
known that within three hours
ride of Boston a large and prof.
table business has been carried
on since 1848 along the seashOre,
and which is nothing more or
less than "farming under the
sea-" Everywhere upon the
coasts of eastern New England
may be found, ten feet below the
water mark, the lichen known
as carragcen-the ''Irish Moss"
of commerce. 1t may be torn
from the sunken rocks any where,
and yet the little seaport of Sci
tuate is almost the only place in
the country where it is gathered
and cured. This village is the
great center of the moss busi-
ness in the country, and the en-
tire Union draws its supplies
from these beaches. Long rakes
are used in tilling this marine
farm, and it does not take long
to fill the many dSfies that await
the lichen, torn from its salty,
rock bed. The husbands and
fathers gather the moss from the
sea, and the wives and daught-
ers prepare it for the market
Soak it in water and it will melt
away to q jelly. Boil it in milk
and a delicious white and creamy
blancmange is the result. The
annual product is from ten tc
fifteen thousand barrels, and il
brings $4,000 into the town
which sum is shared by one hun
dred and fifty families. Its con.
sumption in the manufacture of
lager beeri very large, and the
entire beer If the country draws
its supplies from Scituate beach
es, as the Importation from Ire
land has almost ceased. 1t il
not generally known that tn
moss, as an article of food, il
called "sea moss farina."

Important to Bathers.

Avoid bathing within two
hours after a meal. Avoid bath
ing when exhausted by fatigue
or from any other cause. Avoid
bathing when the body is cool
ing after perspiratiOn; but bathe
when the body is warm, provid-
ed no time is lost getting into
the water. Avoid cooling the
body by sitting orstanding nak-
ed on the shore or in boats after
having been in the water. Avoid
remaining too long in the water,
leave the water Immediately if
there is the slightest feeling of
chilliness. Avoid bathing alto
gether in the open air, if after
having been a short time in the
water, there is a sense of chilli
ness with numbness Of the hands
and feet. The vigorous and
strong may bathe early in the
morning on an empty stomach.
The young, and those that are
weak had better battle three
hours after a meal; the best time
for such is from two to three
hours after breakfast. Those
who are subject to attacks of
giddiness and faintness, and
those who suffer from palpita-
ton and other sense of discom-
fort at the heart, should not
bathe without first consulting
their medical adviser.

"Mean People in This Town. {"

One of those rough-clad, big
hearted miners who come into
Santa Fe occasionally to lay in
a supply of grub, stepped into
the PUst-oliice yesterday after
noon, and seeing in the window
three letters held for postage,
picked one up, and, looking at
the address, said in q tone of
great astonishment: "Why, this
letter is for a lady in Denyerl"
eyes," said the clerk, "don't
you see it hasn't any postage
paid?" In q tone of utter con-
tempt for the man who would
not forward a letter to a woman,
paid or unpaid, the miner said:
"Give me some stamps" 1t
was done; he carefully put
stamps on all letters in the win
dow, putting two on that of the
feminine gender to make sure
that it would go all right, and
stalked out of the office with the
concluding remark hurled at the
head of the astonished Pine
Pinto: "Strikcs me there's some
id mean people in this tow:il"
