pected thief. He went carefully through
the Washington Office SO as to make sure
that there was no mistake. The letter, how
ever, could not be found. Seven o'clock
that evening found Seekem at the hotel, in
consultation with the proprietor and Mr..
Brown. 1t was determined to arrest the
suspected at once. The supposed culprit
was called up, He denied all knowledge of
the affair, and Seekem was compelled to
abandon the job for the time being.
Nothing more was known about Browns
letter until three days afterward, when
Brown himself entered the postotiice in
very excited state of mind and inquired for
Seekem-said he must see him-that it was
OF the utmost Importance that he should
see him at once. Browns wife had been ar
rested in New York for passing counterfeit
money, and was then held under 900
bonds for examination. The murder was
out and the hotel clerk was innocent!
Something had to be done Immediately
for the lady, and that night Seekem left for
New York, visited the United States Com
missioner, explained matters, and procured
Mrs. Browns release. Now for the secret
of this singular proceeding. On the after
noon in question: when the letter containing
the bogus money WAS sent to Mrs. Brown,
the clerk took walk down to the depot at
about six o'clock, to see friend off, taking
what letters there were in the hotel box
along with him, and dropped them in the
postal car at the depot-the train leaving at
seven. Mrs. Browns letter went through
to New York, and she subsequently went
out shopping. She rendered in payment
bogus ten dollar bill, and, the storekeeper
Directing, she offered another, which was
also declined, the dry goods dealer inform
ing her that both were counterfeit. Then
she showed him the remainder of the fifty
dollars that was sent to her, and he pro-
nounced it all bad. Meantime a clerk had
been despatched for an officer, and Mrs.
Brown was,taken into custody. The lady
protested in vain, and was taken to sta
tiOnhouse, where friend of Mr.. Browns
gave bail for the wife's appearance for ex-
animation. The husband was then mott
fed.

The Opelousas Journal has this about the
First National Bank of Opelousas:
Not more than four or five days ago our
energetic townsman, Joseph Bloch, of the
firm of Block 81 Dupre, commenced solicit
ing subscriptions to the capital stock
(Sl00,000l Of national bank to be located
at Opelousas. He stated that upon the sub
scription in this parish of one-half $3.50, 000)
of the capital stock required, the other half
would be subscribed in New Orleans. AS
evidence of the general confidence in Mr.
Bloch's integrity "a well as of the general
desire for the establishment of national
bank at this place, it is sufficient to say that
already, and without going out of town,
So, 900 of the required $4,000 has been
and the balance will doubtless
be subscribed next week.
