Mr.. Lowell says Americans glurify their native
land on only one day in the year--the Fourth of
July. This is the first of August. but wo must In
fringe upon tho National custom 10 remark, in
modest way. how much more convenient tho new
postal note will be than the British postal order

only for fixed sums ranging from one TO twenty
shlings, while our postal notes will BIO ssued for
any sum from 4 ~ cents to 81 %. II the English

Denis Kearney yesterday carefully shook the
dust Of New-York off his pure and fastidious feet
and checked his trunks for home. And when hs

Service Reform is of those sentimental, nsignlt-
cant issues whose consideration safely be post
pOned tor an indefinite period. Or if he show
the Democracy how the question can be cleverly |
lodged IN the present campaign, his speech will be
in order. But If he is 30 unfortunate as to hold
that his party ought TO for the reform, why |
then his friends cannot do better than to argue with
him that the worst he put his speech is to

that he loves his enemies. II he didn't, does any |
