DEAD LETTRRs.-Of ell the official work done
at Washington, none Is regarded with more inter.
est BY the transient visitor than the Dead Letter
ONCE. Here cit some fifteen or twenty gentle
mentor II is fact disgraceful to humanity that
females cannot be,employ ed, so many obscene let
tiers poison the mails-continually engaged in
opening the four or five millions of letters that
annually find their way there. More than Is, coo
letters are daily emptied on their desks, asking to
be opened. When the letter is found to have val.
liable contents, those contents are indorsed mon
1t, and the letter returned to their writers, with
out return postage. So perfect are the arrange.
ments that II is hardly possibly that q valuable
dead letter, which has once reached the Office,
ehouo fal OF revisitlng the writer II il ia in the
power Of the department to discover him. During
the past year IS. 900 letters, inclosng sl42. 23l
we're received at this office, and nearly 20 COO of
them, con- aiming slS0,620 were restored to their
owners: But besides these money letters there
were Il 600 dead letters, containing bill of ex-
change and other valuable matter, appraised at
oyer $500 VGo oyer 1899 5000 cont g
stamps and articles of small value nearly all Of
them were returned TO the original writer's, and
the reason why any of these letters fail of beinc
returned is not the fault of the department. but

this account. Very soon after his arrival he paid
his respects to the grand pacha, being admitted to

great eminence, beginning with the pscha.
While there he helped to organize q
lodge. Among the Mosems he found
great attachment to Freemasonry. Mosems
