Mailing an Umbrella.

A very amusing incident occurred Il
day or two ago at the post office, which
is too good to be lost. A gentleman
taking tea AT ST. Nicholas, on rainy
evening called the man of all work en-
ployed about the place--a raw Teuton,
by the w.y-and requested him to take
some letters to the post office, telling
him to take the umbrella so as not to
get wet.
"Iah, was the response Of the Ger
man, and off he went, taking the UNI
brella with him. The gentleman
thought no more of the umbrella until
the next day, when, remembering that
he had loaned it to the German, he
sought the latter and Intercepted him.
"Joe, did you take my umbrella to
the post office"
der bost office? Yah"
"Well, where is it."
"Pish Chicago-Detroit."
"Did you leave it at the post office y
"Yah Yah y
Procuring the services of an iuterpre-
Ter our friend ascertained that Joe, after
depositiDg the letters in the office, sup
posing the umbrella was to accompany
them-probably to keep them dry-aud
attempted to put the umbrella into the
letter box, but it wouldn't 60 down.
He then took it to the place for deposit
ing newspapers, and by putting his
shoulder to the handle of the umbrella
he succeeded in showing it down into
the spout its entire length, and there
left it, supposing it would go where the
letters we're dirccted-pish Chicago
Detroit
On going to the post office the state
ment of Joe was confirmed by those
who had quite task to remove the
umbrella from the narrow place into
which the innocent Teuton had showed
it, The Northern Sentinel.
