Yesterday an old man (whose name escapes

apply TO the case Of member Of the Le-
gi.lature, for he reason that such member
IS net IN officer. However true in the
abstract this may be, it is clear that the

In August last young lady, resi-
dent of San Francisco, died. During
the following October lock of the
deceased's hair, together with two
rings, were placed in registered let
ter and dispatched toward the East.
During the mail robbery on the 22d
of that month, the letter in question
was opened, and one of the rings ap-
propriated. When Postal Agent
Barstow took possession of the Debris
in the mail car, he found the lock of
hair, one ring, and several pieces of
the letter. After considerable trouble
he managed to decipher the name OF
the party forwarding the letter, and
that of the party for whom it was in
tended. The writer of the letter, a
lazy, furnished him with minute de-
scription of the missing ring, mention
ing that its principled feature consis-
ted of heart crosse by two clasped
hands. This clue was furnished to
the detectives, and through its aid
they captured one of the leading spir-
its of the robbery. But for the ring,
which he had devoted to the adorn-
ment of his own clumsy hand, he
might have escaped unscathed. He
has taken up his abode at the Nevada
State Prison, and the ring was re-
turned to its owner one day last
month.
