ALL's WE'LL THAT ENDS WELL.-The
story is told of fair damsel OF Salem,
Massachusetts,, who, after receiving the adj
dresses of a young man for some time, re-
Gently found that she had loved too well for
maiden, and it became necessary that she
should see her lover, who had secured a
situation in New York. Letters not having
the desired effect of bringing him to Salem,
the injured damsel procured a revolver and
avOwed her determination to find the gay
Lothario, and if he did not marry her at once,
she should shoot him. In pursuance of this
resolution, she started for New York but
on reaching Boston she was persuaded by
a friend to delay her visit for a day or two,
which she did. The next day, while in con-
versation with her friends, the doOr-bell
rang and Mr.. - was announced and
shown into the parlor where he met his
"lamb" Pale as death she stood, not
knowing what to say, when he quietly
drew a paper from his pocket requesting
her to peruse it. This she did, bringing
back the roses to her cheek at once. 1t was
a marriage license duly executed. Spring
ing to his side, she threw her arms around
his neck and burst into tears. As soon as
possible carriage was called and the party
drove TO the residence of IL clergyman,
where the two were made one, and all is

Nothing oan be done without New Or
leans has hand in it, and we copy the fol-
lowing to prove that assertion:
For several months past large number
of money letters, addressed to points along
the Hudson river and taken by the Northern
mail, have been subject to a mysterious
taking off, with just sufficient frequency to
be profitable to somebody. Improbable to
others, and yet to avoid for II long while
such "A vigorous scrutiny as would put an
end to safe business by the depredatOr
and insure his detection. Complaint OH
complaint has been made to the POstOffice
Department and the Hudson River Rail
road authorities, but the detectives have
been baffled by the shrewdness OF the oper-
atOr. Passengers, also. have complained
that in change for good money they have
received counterfeit bills when they paid
for their tickets.
The private detectives tried to obtain a
clew, but they were completely fOiled, as
they usually are. Finally the case was put
into the hands of Colonel Whitley, OF the
Secret Service Bureau. A decOy letter was
sent through the Spuyten Duyvel postofice,
the place to which suspicion was directed.
1t was FROM New Orleans. and addressed to
Superintendent kelsO. 1t was missed, and
the mail robber had undoubtedly opened it
to see if it contained any thing about him
self. Eight letters also mysteriously disap-
pearcl in one day, and these robberies con-
tinued for some time. At last Colonel White
ley obtained some of the counterfeit money
which the scamp was passing, and finally
got enough proof to convict the rObber
and counterftitcr. Yesterday he obtained "a
warrant from Commissioner Davenport,
and to-day his officers went to Spuyten
Duyvel Creek and arrested H. j. Gilbert,
who is the postmaster, baggage clerk and
telegraph operator at that place. Gilbert
is asYOung man, and the greatest confidence
had been reposed in him by all. 1t was
found when he was arrested that he had
keys to all the mail bags and railroad COM
pany's safes. He was brought to this city
handcuffed, and will be arraigned before
United States Commissioner tomorrow.
His speculatiOns have continued for over
six months, and thousands of dollars have
been missed during that time.

The Washington special of the st. Leuis
ReDublicdn saws:

HepNOitcdn says:
The case of the assistant marshals, whose
accounts with the Census Bureau show them
to have been guilty of making fraudulent
entries in order to increase the per capita
compensation allowed by law, is in the
hands of the Attorney General, and instruc-
tons will accordingly be issued next week to
the district attorneys Of the several counties
in which they reside to institute proceedings
against them, and press for a conviction in
every instance. In the returns made by one
assistant marshal Of West Virginia, the
name of the same person is repeated seven
times. When his attempt at imposition had
been discovered and the amount of cOmpen-
sation claimed by him disallOwcd, he sought
to excuse himself on the plea that the dis
puted name had been furnished him at seven
different houses, and that he had received it
in good faith, not being aware at the time of
the identity of the party. As the age given
was exactly the same in each instance, the
department denied the plea, and he will be
subjected to prosecution. Other similar
frauds have been perpetrated by assistant
marshals in the thinly settled districts Of
some of the Western States; but detection
following them they will also be prose-
cuted. About seventeen cases are already
on the table of the Attorney General, and
five or six more will soon be forwarded from
the Census Bureau.
