Tho above shows tho business of the.
office for four weeks, and will give a cor
rect Idea of tho amount of mall matter
handled. This is supposed to be an aver
age 4 weeks work, and tho office will possi
bly be rated In the next classification by
this exhibit. Wo are Informed, however,
that it Is really a smaller four weeks work
than an average, owing In part to the fact
that for one part of the time the office was
entirely out of postal cards, and also tho
fact, that thef number of circulars sent off
was far Short of the average. Btill it
shows the handling of 42,654 packages,
weighing In tho aggregate 3,004 pounds,
averaging over 1,523 packages per day,
weighing over 106 pounds.
The coming Postmaster may take notice
of tho above and what he will have to do.
Nt. Valentine's Day.
This Is a glorious day for young folks—
those over sixteen years of ago and
not over forty-live. The outside limit Is
extended purposely, that some special
friends may be counted in. The book
stores have had a gay run for two days,
and, if they have not sold enough for
everybody wlthlth limits to get a missive,
why, they have a few more left with
which to supply the neglected ones to-day.
But let us beg those who buy these little
arrows to be careful and not wound any
tender feelings by sending those cruel
oomlc darts that are sometimes hurled at
gentlest friends. They may create a
laugh, but the wound beneath the smile
lasts and bleeds, when tho laugh Is
hushed and tho rulrtli forgotten. We
don't like comic Valentines.
The Whale Fishery.—A question bns
arisen among whalemen as to the possible
early extermination of the walrus. Proba
bly not less Ilian fifty thousand walruses,
with their young, were last year killed
and destroyed by our Arctic whalemen.
Since the whale has been driven north,
the walrus has become the main reliance
of the natives for their food, clothing,
boots and dwellings, as he has ulso be
come to others the chief object of com
mercial attention. At the present rate he
must soon be exterminated, or like the
whale driven almost out of reach. The
question, therefore, is: Shall our whale
men keep on taking the walrus, and e
ventvally starve and depopulate these
Arctic shores? To provide against the ex
tinction of the seal, of which 500,000 were
captured last year, the Legislature of
Newfoundland has passed a law forbid
ding vessels in that trade to leave port
bclore the twelfth of March, that being the
average date of the parturition of the seals.
The young ones come to maturity in a
marvelously brief period. Thus two ad
vantages arc gained: tho old seal are not
slain as heretofore, with their young un
born, and the young ones unfit to be taken
are left for another year.
A correspondent of the Southern
Plantation writes as follows about the
power of a well known plant:
“I have discovered a remedy for pul
monary consumption. It has cured a num
ber of cases after they had commenced
bleeding at the lungs, and the hectic flush
was already on the cheek. After trying
this remedy to my own satisfaction, I
have though philanthrspy required that
I should let it be known to the world.
It is the common nuillcn, steeped strong
and sweetened with coffee sugar, and
drank ireely. The herb should be gath
ered before the end of July, if convenient.
Young or old plants are good dried in
the shade and kept in clean paper bags.
The medicine must be continued from
three to six months, according to the na
ture of the disease. It is very good for
the blood vessels also. It strengbens and
builds up the system, instead of taking
away strength. It makes good blood,
and takes inflammation away from the
lungs. It is the wish of the writer that
every periodica) in the United States,
Canada end Europe should publish this
receipt for the benefit of the human fami
ly. Lay this up, and keep it in the house
ready for use.

SOME RICH LETTERS FROM OLD SIMON B.MD
TO BE EXTANT.
Special Diapatcbio tba World.]
Washington, February;9.—l tlias been
a matter of general regret to-day that
neither party to the Cameron-Oliver
breach of promise unit was visible today.
Senator Cameron was not in his seat in
the Senate, he was not in his rooms, lie
wua not iu any of the rooms where he >s
sometimes seen, Early in the day he
disappeared in a committee-room and he
has been there nil day, a reasonable
amount of champagne disappearing in
the interval. Mrs. Oliver has also retir
ed lo private life, and, by the advice of
her counsel, declines to see visitors. In
quiry to-day shows that she is the grand
daughter of Commodore Stewart, an early
and intimate friend of Simon Cameron
aud the commander of the frigate Cons i
tution in her memorable engagements.
Mrs. Oliver’* position in the Treasury
Department was given her by Secretary
Bristow at Senator Cameron's request.
Her counsel claim to hold some interest
ing letters from the aged Senator of a
character which will throw serious doubt
on the Senator’s diner, tion. Those of
Senator Cameron’s friends who called on
him to-day have not been over-successful
in their condolence. ‘*o, well, Senator,"
said one to-day, “you needn’t care; every
body thinks suing you for breach of pro
mise is a great joke.” “Yes, but that’s
precisely wbat Ido care about; it is not
right. Why, lam only seventy-right.”
The Invention nr l*unctuaUon.
From Cusell'i Popular Educator.]
The invention of the modern system of
punctuation has been attributed to the
Alexandrian grammarian Aristophanes,
after whom it was improved by succeed
ing grammarians; but it wa3 so entirely
lost in the time of Charlemagne that he
found it necessary to have it restored by
Warnesfried and Alouin. It consisted at
first of only one point, used in three ways,
and sometimes of a stroke formed in sev
eral ways. But as no particular rules
were followed in the use of these signs,
punctuation was exceedingly uncertain
until the end of the fifteenth century,
when the learned Venetian printers, the
Manutii, increased the number of the signs
and established some fixed rule lor their
application. These were so generally
adopted that we may consider the Manutii
as the inventors tif the present method ol
punctuution; and, although modern
grammarians have introduced some im
provements, nothing but a few particular
rules have been added since their times.
Mr. Evnrla nn Hip CoiiiiiiUnloii.
Special dispatch to the World J
Washington, February 9.—Your dis
tinguished advocate Mr Evarts, ns ycu
know, iB a brilliant artificer of words, ami
nothing if not witty. A mot of his is
current here which is too good to be lost.
After Mr. O'Conor bad got through with
the graceful and dignified exordium of
his speech on Monday last before the
commission, in which he adjured its mem
bers to maintain themselves at the height
of the great duties laid upon them, Mr.
Evarts observed in an aside to a Iriend :
“O’Conor has been ten minutes occupied
in trying to exalt the members of this
commission in their own esteem —that is
a thing which no fellow could do in a
week I” Mr. Secretary Fish, who con
ceals a fund of humor under his dignified
and practical exterior, is credited with
popularizing this neat little speech in
Government circles, and Mr. Evarts him
self appreciates it too keenly to attempt
to cheek its currency.
Curran’s Inoenuity.—A farmer,
attending a fair with a hundred
pounds in his pocket, took the ro
caution of depositing it in the hands
of tho laudlord of tho public-house
at which he stopped. Having oc
casion for it shortly afterwards, ho
resorted to mine host for the money,
but the landlord, too deep for the
countryman, wondered what hun
dred was meant, and was quite sure
no such sum had ever been lodged
in his hands by the astonished rus
tic. After ineffectual appeals to the
recollection, and flually to the
honor of Bardolch, the fanner ap
plied to Cusran for advice. “Have
patience, my friend,” said the coun
seller; “speak to the landlord civilly,
and tell him you are convinced you
must have left your money with
some other persou. Take a friend
with you, and lodge with him anoth
er hundred in tho presence of your
friend, and then come to me.” We
must imagine, and not commit to pa
per, the vociferations of the honest
dupe, at such advice, however,
moved by the rhetoric or authority
of the worthy counsel, he followed it
and returned to his legal friend.
“And now, sir, I don’t see as I’m to
be better off for this, if I get my sem
oud hundred again ; but bow is that
to be done?”—"Go and ask him for
it when he is alone,” said the coun
sel. "Ay, sir, but that won’t do, I’ze
afraid, without my witness, at any
rate.” Never mind ; take my advice, ’
said the counsel; “uo as I bid you
and return to me.” The farmer re
turned with his hundred, glad at any
rate to find that safe again in his pos
session. “Now, sir, I suppose I
must be content; but I don’t see as
I’m much better off.,’ “Well then,”
said tho counsel, “now take your
friend with you, and ask the land
lord for tho hundred pounds your
friend saw you leave with him.”
We need not add that the wily land
lord found he had been taken off his
guard, while our honest friend
(whom one would almost wish had
tried two the second time) returned
to thank his cousel exultingly, with
botli hundreds in his pocket.
CoiMuinptlveM Take Notice.
Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends on
the judicious choice of a remedy. The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr.
Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a euro for
Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretensions of
any other medicine. See Dr. Sehenck’s
Almanac, containing the certificates of
many persons of the highest respectabili
ty, who have been restored to health,
after being pronounced incurable by
physicians of acknowledged ability
Schenck’s Pulmonio Syrup alone has
cured many, as these evidences will show;
but the cure is often promoted by the em
ployment of two other remedies which
Dr. Schenck provides for tho purpose.
.These additional remedies nro Sehemk’s
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By
the timely uso of these medicines, accord
ing to directions, Dr. Schenck certifies
that most any case of Consumption may
be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his
principal office, Corner Sixth and Arch
streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,
where all letters for advice must be ad
dressed.
The People Want Proof.
There is no medicine prescribed by phys
icians, or sold by druggists, that carries
such evidence of its success and superior
virtue as Bo6ehee’s German Syrup for se
vere Coughs, Colds settled on the breast,
Consumption.or any disease of the Throat
and Lungs, A proof of that fact Is that
any person afflicted, can get a Sample
Bottle for 10 eonts and try its superior
effect before buying the regular size at 75
cents. It has lately been Introduced in
this country from Germany, and its won
derful cures are astonishing everyone
that use It. Three doses will relieve any
case. Try it. Sold by

—"The Black Hills" excitement Is ap
pearing again In the North. The gold
stories are huge. The railroad companies
are getting up those fables to induce em
igration this spring. Their previous suc
cess In this lino, they think justifies an
other effort.
—The newspapers of Chicago are dis
cussing the cause of the unusual mortality
In the city for the past month. The increase
of deaths being 158, as compared with the
corresponding month of last year.
Crowded tenement houses and tho filthy
condition of streets, are claimed to tie the
causes.
—Southern am! Atlantic Telegraph stock

The Highest Living New Yorker.
—Peter Godet, the eccentric old
bachelor of New York, is now proba
bly the weahhiegt living representa
tive of the old families of Gotham.
Mis property is estimated at from
twenty to thirty millions, the most
of it having been made by his grand
father iti the hardware trude. A
French emigrant commenced the
niirdware trude before tho Revolu
tion, and by hard work made money.
Every dollar made was invested in
farmimg lands a mile or more from
the store down town, and for three
generations this has been the rule.
What was tarruiug lands then is cov
ered with stx-story buildings now,
and wbat the first Goelet bought for
twenty dollars an acre is worth
to-day huudreds of thousands.
There are two of them left, Peter,
the bachelor, being the best known.
He occupies several lots on tbe cor
ner of Nineteenth street and
Broadway for a residence, the
property being worth, probably,
#200,000, and be keeps it. that
he may have room for a
cow, a dozen gunea hens, a stork or
two, and a line lot of chickens.
“Uncle Peter,” as he is called, has a
passion for this kind of farming, aud
he keeps this splendid property idle
that he may Indulge his whim. He
doesn’t put, a dollar into pictures or
books; he hasn’t a single piece of
sculpture; he never travels or sees
anything; never takes part in any
public enterprise; but the money
that other men put into such things
he squanders on his cow and chick
ens. Counting interest, it costs him
twenty thousand dollars per year to
keep that cow, which makes the
milk come at about a dollar a drop.
It is a queer sight -a cow feeding
quietly in the busiest part of New
York. But this is Goelet’s whim,
and perhaps it is as sensible as many
other men’s whims. He is over
seventy, and has not a child to leave
his vast estate to. His uephews and
nieces are all very rich, but u$ they
have not “Uncle Peter’s” quiet
tastes, they will not object to adding
his millions to their own.
Political Micawbbrs —lt is men
tioned as a striking illustration of the
hard limes among politicians as well as
other folks that among the special police
lately sworn in at the Capitol were two
ex-Governors, one ex-judge, one ex-Con
gressman, ami several prominent State
politicians, who have been hanging about
Washington for months waiting for
something to turn up. “To what base
uses must wc come, Horatio.”
