So common has the small silver coin become that it is rarely we see any of the J once abun dant greenback "which it displaced. AH has been retired that has found its way into the Treasury but the nominal sum of , $16,299,429 out standing, which is carried along on !,. Knnl nf f.Vio Treftsnrv. Of this large sum it is, however, safe to say I perhaps less than $500,000 will ever j believed that nearly .the entire six- j teen millions of dollars yet out I standing has been lost, j burned, or I destroyed m various ways, leaving I ; just that sum to the credit: of the j Government. Being more frequently j handled than paper money- of largei 1 denominations, and being in sums of lesser value, its holders were never so careful with it as with greenbacks. It, was Dassed in such a i dilapidated condition that, growing worse from d3y to day, the last holders cared lit tle what become of it, and not unfre- quently burned or threw it away. The result of it all is that the Go vernment has made justHhis amount of money, iust as it has made, many. millions by the destruction by fire and other causes of greenback notes. Postal Card Trouble. Postal cards give rise! to peculiar troubles. A Rochester lumber deal- r er mailed a card to a discharged clerk, accusing him of swindling, and the clerk has obtained a verdict of $450 damages, based on the publicity- of the charge while passing'through the mails. A , similar case is on trial in Pittsburgh, the plaintiff being a sew- ing-machine agent, to whom his em ployer addressed an accusation of im properly obtaining money. An Oma ha clergyman publishes a card, com plaining that he very frequently re ceives advertisements of wines and liquors printed on postal cards, and, as he is a total abstainer; from strong drinic, the impression might be wrongfully created that he is a buyer of the liquor. A Jioston landlady sends bills on postal-cards to former boarders, accompanied by urgent re quests for payment. One of the recipients began a suit against her for nuei, uu& wibuurew it, ms lawyer au- vismg him that, as the communica tion was a simple request to pay a I jast debt, he had no legal grievance. fnrtXfS C wHtLiS" and he retaliated by j writing, her anonymous letters on I postai-caras. i -, . u , 1 , . f. a nwuua m ner pocsei, iay in wait for herannoyer, and whipped him, .

The Daily Neics, touching ;the sui cide of this young person, siays the thought of her awful situation fatherless, motherless, homeless was too much for her -brain. The severe self-respect which j restrained her from telling even the people with whom she lodged of her difficulties seemed, as her letter shows, to shut, her up to the fatal course she adopted.; The letter also shows how treroen- dous was the e which took place in her mind before the last resolution was taken.

He says: I The years of 1819r20 were a1 De af gloom and agopy. No money, either gold or silver: to paper con- yertible into specie; no measure or stanaard ot value lett remaining.
