ustration OF this maxim is a case which occurred
in the commercial circles of Cleveland, Ohio, few
days ago. An ancient broker of that city. who
knows how to save even the shadow of q continen-
tinal dime, having reflected upon the tariff adopt
ed by the express companies for the transportation
of money packages, and the great certainty and
dispatch arrived at In their delivery resolved on
nlar of paying less than the regular fees. The
rates for money packages are calculated upon the
value of the contents, as marked upon the outside
of the envelope. lie enclosed s2,350 in an enve-
lope and having been very careful to mark IL
81 ,500' the outside, paid the rates on the lat
ter sum. to the express company The package
was unfortunately lost. The banker did not dare
to claim the whole contents, $3.50, and the COM
pany, with its usual promptness, paid over the
amount registered. The package, as we are inform
ed. turned up ut last, through the efforts of the
eompsny's agents and its contents disclosed. As
the company had made good the loss the merchant
had to suffer to the tune of 1850.
