UNPAID LHrTERs.-Sincs the 6rst of April,
aoout one hundred and fifty unpaid letters
nave seen dropped into the Washington city
post ONCE. In accordance with the law, a list
OF them Is prominently posted in the vesti.
bule, for the information of all concerned.
Although the law requiring prepayment has
been exten.ively published, and attention es.
pecially called to the subject In all the news

We learn that on Monday week, the second

anecdote is related. A man offered his letter
TO the clerk, at the same time declining to pro-
pay He was assured that the law was imper-
alive; still he failed to be convinced. He
thought that "the receiver of the lettsr should
pay the toll" The clerk happening to turn
his head away from the window to answer an
inquiry addressed to him from the inside, the
man, availing himself of the opportunity.
silly slipped in bis unpaid letter, and was in
the act of departing, eongratulatipg himself
that he had triumphed over the clerk, con
the sly, when he was re- called, aifkreminded
OF his folly in attempting to outwit the wide
