WILMINGTON, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY .10, 1879.
Rextuered Matter Important Re
gulations.
Among the latest regulatious issued
from the Postoffice Department, is the
following: j
Postmasters and their employes are
forbidden to address a registered package
for the seader. to place contents therein,
or to seal 'a letter or affix stamps this
must in all cases be done by the sender;
but they must not fail to see that the
stamps cover the full amount of postage
and registry fee, as when registered mat I
teris received at a postomee tor delivery
not having necessary stamps affixed to
cover the postage and fee, it Is not to be
rated up for collection from the person
addressed, but ust be delivered with
out any charge. The postmaster receiving
such package will report to the Third As
sistant Postmaster Gejeral the additional
amount of stamps which should bave
been affixed and the same will be "col
lected from the postmaster who received
the package or letter" for registration
and forwarded it without the necessary
postage stamps affixed as required by
law. !
In other words, under the new regula
tions the guilty postmaster and not the
innocent addressee will suffer if registered
matter is forwarded without the evidence
of prepayment required by law.
Another Homicide at Rocky Point.
A difficulty occurred last evening, near
Rocky Point , between a white man by the
name of Buck Walker and a colored man
named Frank Bell, which resulted in the
death of the latter. The two. men were
employed on Dr, & Porter's farm, about a
mile above Kocky Point, and they were
proceeding home together after their day's
work when the difficulty occuired. We
have not been able to learn the cause of
the quarrel, but hot words passed betweon
them, and a knife was drawn by Bell
whereupon Walker teok up a hoe which
was at hand aud struck fell witn it a
powerful blow on the side of the head,
crushing in the akulL Bell died within a
few hours despite the surgieal aid which
was at once secured. Walker fled and
officers are in pursuit of him. Dr Lucas,
the Coroner of the county, has been noti
fied, and an inquest was to have been held
to-lay. j

Hints on Thing Familiar.'
Why does a polished metal teapot
make better tea than a black earthen one?
As polished metal is a very bad radiator
of heat it keeps the water hot - much
longer, and the hotter the water is ! the'
better it "draws" the tea. j ,. j
Why .will not a dull, black teapot
make good tea? Because the heat of the
water flies off so quickly through the
dull, black surface of the teapot that the
water is very rapidly cooled, and can
not "draw" the tea. - " - -
W)l will a black teapot make better
tea than a bright metal one if it is st up
on the hob to draw? Because the black
teapot will absorb the heat plentifully
from the fire, and keeps the water hot;
i i i
whereas a bright metal teapot (set upon
the hob) would throw off the heat by re
flection'. Then sometimes a black earthen teapot
is the best, and sometimes a bright metal
one? Yes, but when the teapot is set on
the hob to 'draw,' the black earth is the
best, because it absorbs heat; but when
the teapot is not set on the hob, the
bright metal is the best, because it radi
ates heat very slowly, and therefore keeps
the water hot. ! '
Why does a saucepan which has been
used boil in a shorter time than a new
one? Because the bottom and back are
covered with soot, and thej black soot
rapidly absorbs the heat of the glowing
coals. ;
Why should . the front and lid of a
saucepan be clean and bright? As they
do not come in contact with the fire they
oahnot absorb heat; and, , being bright,
they will not suffer the heat to escape by
radiation.
" Why should not the back and bottom
ef a kettle be cleaned or polished? Be
cause they come in contact with the fire
and (while they are covered with black
soot) absorb heat freely from the burn
ing coals. ,
Why should a meat cover be brightly
poliahed ? If the Cover be dull Or scratch
ed it w ill absorb the heat from the food,
and instead of keeping it hot, will make it
cold. ;
Wby should a silver meat cover be plain
and not chased? Because, if the cover be
chased, it will absorb the heat from the
food, and instead of making it hot will
make it cold.
Nervousness. I
Every organ and every muscl in the
human body depeads for its action on
nerve-force, elaborated by the brain, cr
spinal ganglia; and bo does every thought
and feeling the more active the think
ing, or the more intense the feeling, the
greater the expenditure cf nerve-foce;
The little whits threads that run in
i v,a tVirnnaVi the bodv from the
brain and spinal cord are merely conduc
tors of this force, just as the decline
wires are of the electricity.. The
brain-battery, When in a vigorous condi
tion, elaborates enough nervous force, not
onlv for all ordinary, but for a vast deal
of extraordinary use, directly from the
raw material.in the blood, for in such case
the raw material is furnished in propor
tion to the expenditure. But in 'nervous
ness' ot every form the balance is disturbs
ed; the supply is not equal to the demand,
hence tnere is a state of nervous ex
haustion. Bv carefully guarding the outgo, the
person may enjoy . a tolerable degree of
health ; but he feels, often to prosirauon
a little extra demand, especially if pro
tracted. Generally self-control is weak
ened: one is easily startled; laaghler
and tears come at trifles; the person ,ig
touchv. perhaps hysterical ; the blood is
impoverished, and hence no organ or tis
sue in the body k properly fed, nor can
fully do its work.
This deficiency cf nerve-force may
result from a deficient diet; the abuse of
stimulants; too; little sleep; protracted
overwork' of brain or muscle, long-continued
care, anxiety or grief; sensual or
emotional excess of any kind: lack of re
creation. " : i
An UnuiUUtd Nunce.
Speculation was rife on the wharf this
mornine as to why tne
m .1
eariy noun
of the day, those immediately after
breakfast and during the jfiiit flush
of business, should be selected for sweep
ing the streets. The broom brigade at
that time were making things lively and
the dust ibey raised about Mulberry
street was taken up by the Norther y
wind and carried almost to Market Dock
before it got settled. It was an unmiti
gated nuisance. Why not do this work
earlj in the morning or late in the eren-
I in. before or after business num. ,

Success in the Stock. Market.
Few people understand how large for
tunes are amassed so rapidly in stock
operations. ; Messrs. Lawrence & Co.
Bankers, N. Y., have just I published "two
unerring rules for success," and full de
tails, so that any one can operate.
Mailed free. Their new combination
system of dealing in stocks is wonderfully
profitable. By this method thousands of
orders, in various sums, are pooled into
one immense capital, and co-operated as
a mighty whole, thus securing jto each
shareholder all the advantages ;of vast
capital and bent skill. Profits divided
every 30 days. $15 1 would make 875
profit, $100 would return 81,000, or 10
per cent on the stock in the month, and
so on, according to thej market. A New
York Fashion Editress and prominent
newspaper correspondent, made over 375
per cent profit on an investment. Oct. 5th,
1878. Many others are doing as well or
better. Large or small amounts cm be
used with equal proportionate success by
this system, All kinds of stocks and
