Muse, City Editor of the Star, accompanied by his wife, left here this morning for a two weeks' visit to bin native heath, Newbern. It is the first time in many years that he has taken a vacation, and we hope that he hiay realize all his anticipations of pleasure, and may come back strengthened aid improved by the change of air and ot scenes. Mr. Harry H. Smith, formerly one of the Edi- tors of the Dispatch, will run the local olumns ot the S7ar during absence. MrJ Muse's WLat to dn With Mutilated Money. Persons are frequently at a loss to know what to do with mutilated money. A circular from the treasury department just received gives important informatiot in relation to this matter. Among other information is the following:1 United States noted mutilated not to the extent of one tenth, and fractional notes mutila ted not to the extent of one fifth, are re deemable at full face value. United States notes mutilated to tbe extent of one tenth, but not two tenths, are redeemable at nine tenths of full face value: two tenths, but not three tenths, at eight tenths of thoir full face value; three tenths but not I four tenths, at seven tenths of their face value; fourjtenths, but not one half, at six tenths of their face value Fragments of notets, such constituting clearly one half, are redeemable at one half the full face value of guch ! Whole notes. Fragments less than half are re deemed only when accompanied by an affidavit, except when they together con stitute more than one half a note, and it appears either from the notes themselves or from an affidavit made ,in conformity to the following paragraph, that they are actually parts of the original note. Notes mutilated as described above, accompanied by an affidavit from the owner and from such other persons as have knowledge of the facts, that the missing portions have been ; totally des troyed, are," if the proof furnished is sat isfactory, redeemed at the fall face value of such whole notes. The affidavit must state the cause and manner of the mutil ation; and muse be sworn and subscribed before an officer qualified to ' administer oaths, who must affix his official seal thereto, and the character of j the affiants ! i ' i must be certified to be good by a magis trate or other public officer. The treas urer will exercise such discretion under this regulation as may seem to him need ful to protect the United States from fraud. Unredeemed fragments are re jected and returned; counterfeit notes are branded and returned.

It has an especial interest from the fact that it contains the estimate which one novelist gives of another, where there is tbe widest divergence between the literary work of the two. , Professor Simon Newcdmb fol lows with a paper upon Tbe Standard cf Value,' in which he discusses the relative merits of the single and double standard and the difficulties which must arise from tbe establishment of either as a monetary basis. The third article is the concluding part of Ri .-hard Wagner's The Work and Mission of My Life.' In this, he contin ues the description of art life to the pre sent time, and tells the story of the great festival performance at Baireuth, in 1876. The next article is a part of 'The Diary of a public Man.' In this is given the se cret history of events at Washington dur ing the week next preceding President Lincoln's inauguration, and of the intri gues in regard to the formation of a new Cabinet, and the estimate which public men at that time made of Mr. Lincoln's character. The 'Confession of an Agnos tic," which follows, is an anonymous pa per, and professes to be written by a fol lower of 'An Evolutionist,' who advertise ed for a new! religion in this Jlevietv, in Juiy, 1878 The scholar, it seems, has gone further than his teacher. 'Intri gues at the Par's Canal Congressby A .G. MeL.ocal,is a timeiy exposure of the plans and scheming of the ring of adventurers who called the Congress together, and using D.Lessep's iufluence.managed it for the purpose of -filling their own pockets.

The Board therefore decided to postpone the consideration of this matter in accordance with request of counsel, until after Mon day, the 1st prox. Cared of DrinKing. .'A yeung friend of mine was cured of an insatiable thirst for liquor, which had so prostrated him that he was anable tO do any business. He was entirely cured by the use of Hop Bitters. It allayed all that burning thirst; took away the appe tite for liquor; made his nerves steady, and he has remained a sober and steady man for more than two years, and has no desire to return to bis cups; I know of a nmpber of others that have been cured of drinking by it,' From a leading 11 K Official, Chicago, III, ' 20, 1879.

In less I than two hours he secured $140, which i we thinfe speaks commendably for people of - Wilmington. Mr. the good Canaday desires to raise $200 to send to- morrow, and we doubt not he will be successful Lamp Explosion. A kerosene oil lamp exploded last nigbf , at the residence of Capt. Jno. W.
