Some years ago, in one of our
Western courts, three men-an Eng
lishman, an Irislrman and Scotch
man-were found guilty of murder
and sentenced to be hung. The
Judge told them they could each
choose the tree on which they would
like to be 9.strung up.o The Scotch
man promptly chose an ash tree, and
the Englishman an oak tree. s'Well,
Pat, what will you he hung ON =

A CHEW OF TOBACCO SENDS A
MAN TO THE PENITENTIARY. - A
!'chew" has sent a man to the peni-
tentiary. Tt seems that registered
letter which had been forwarded to
Chicago, from one of the country
postof1ices, was tampered with at
some point on the route. Upon ar.
irving at the place of destination,
five 800 bills which ought to have
been in the envelope were not to be
found. The matter was put in the
hands of a skillfui detective for III
vestigation. Upon seeking the en-
velope he discovered where it had
been opeaed and resealed. He then
examined the mucilage with nii=
croscope, and saw that small parti-
cles of plug tobacco adhered to the
paper.
At once the officer resolved to
track through the various Offices,
and see who of the Government en-
ployes that handled letters cheWed
plug. For some time the case look
ed like a hopeless one. The post
office clerks in the rural districts
nearly all chewed the fine cut. FL
nally, at the very office in which the
letter was mailed, the postmaster
offered the official some plug, in res
ponse to a request for a chew, and,
as the unfortunate official was sent
upon his own recrimination, he re-
marked that che had never cheWed
anything else but plug"
Upon this statement the detective
ran the risk and arrested the sur
prised countryman, not for chewing
plug tobacco, ,but fer robbing the
United States mail. Upon search
inc the office, the missing bills were
found well folded up in an old-fash-
iened daguerreotyne case. le dis
honest postmaster is filing an en-
gagement at the Illinois Peniten=
tiary.-fPaterson Guardian.

A Peculiar Patent Case.

A peculiar case has been pending in the
patent office for some time, which after
engaging particular attention, was finally
and adversely decided upon by Acting
Commissioner Duncan. 1t appears that il
1856 John b. Real invented an ordnance
proiectile OF great destructive powers for
which he procured q patent in the same
year. He realized handsomely on his in
vention until 1861, when he went South to
ioin the Co.federacy. Here he got his let
ters patent eeuntersigned at the Conted-
crate patent office. so as to secure immunity
from infringement within JeIl. Davis
domain. His projectiles were used largely by
the Confederate armies, and since the war
he has refiled his letters patent in Washing
ton with application for an extension. while
on their very face is the seal Of the Conted-
crate States, attesting the fact above men
toned Negative replies to all applications,
without being in the shape OF an Official de
.ision, were given at yarieus times, but now
as Real inquiries as to the truth OF the re-
port circulated. that he has been refused an
extension on account of his services i'll the
Confederacv. the Acting Commissioner re
plies that that is Just the reason exactly,
and closes the case by an adverse decision.
