WAsuINGToN, April G.-Conclusive
proof has been obtained that four or five
clerks in the postotlice department, and
several persons outside have secured II
number of contracts for mail service in
The Southwestern states by means of
the counterfeit of Il stamp containing the
initials of first and second Postmaster
General, which is placed on bids when
opened. in order to show that they have
been received in time. This counterfeit
stamp has been used to give apparent
validity t. straw bids, made at lower
figures than the lowest of bids really
opened at the advertised time. Among
the contractors implicated, is Hynes,
recently appointed United States Mar
shal for Alabama. The contracts thus
secured will be annullcd, and all the
clerks implicated Immediately dismissed
The act that Hynes is Implicated in the
frauds WAS yesterday communicated to
Aforementioned Williams, who immc.
diaiely procured his removal by the Prcsi-
dent, as /. :. Marshal for Alabama.

Snime's Spree .

Sniffies brought his two weeks spree
to a close Thursday night. He lay on
a Tongue in the parlor, feeling as mean
as sour lager, when something in the
corner of the room attracted his atten-
ton. Rising on his elbow, he gazed
steadily at it. Rubbing his eyes he
stared again, and as he stared his ter
ror grew Calling to his wife he asked
hoarsely:
''Mirandy, what is that ?"
What is what, Likely ?''
Snif1es' name is Lucurgus, and his
wife calls him Likely for short and
sweet.
"Why, thing in the cor
ner ?'' said the frightened man, point
ing at it with hand that shook like q
politician.
"Likey, dear, 1 see nothing" re-
piled the woman.
"What you don't see it % he shrek
ed. "Then I've got 'em. o, heav-
ems! Bring me the bible, Mirandy
Bring it quick! Here-here on this
sacred book, swear never to touch 8
drop of whisky. If 1 break my VOW,
may my right hand cleave to the roof
of my mouth, and"
Here catching another glimpse OF
the terrible object, he clinched his
wife and begged in peteous tones:
"Don't leave me--don't leave your
Likely" and burying his face in the
folds OF her dress, he sobbed and
moaned himself into troubled sleep.
Then his wife stole gently to the
corner, picked up the toy snake, an6
threw it into the stove.

The Counties in Ohio.

The Cincinnati Enquirer calls atten-
ton to the fact, and the near approach
of the Centennial makes it peculiarly
pat, that there is no state in the Union
which has so honored the Revolution
ary Fathers in the names of its coun-
ties as Ohio. First we have counties
called for the Revolutionary Presidents
Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Mad
ison and Monroe. Second, we have
the Revolutionary Generals in Warren,
Greene, Montgomery, Putnam, Mer-
GER, Hamilton, Knox, Wayne, Stark
Clinton, Fayette, Marion, Morgan and
Shelby. Then we have counties
named for the three captors of Major
Andree, the colleague of Arnold
namely, Paulding, Williams and Var
Vert. We have the Revolutionary
names of civilians in HancOcE, Frank
lin, Carroll and Harrison.

there are many little domestic secrets
which we have kept hidden from each
other, which, had they been known at
the time of their occurrence, might
have produced unpleasant feelings,
but as we have but one day to live, let
us unbosom ourselves freely to each
other.
Wife-W husband, you are right 4;
there are some little things that I new,
er told you, and which I intended
should remain between me and my
God; but as we have but one day left

breast to each other. I'm ready-you
