money only for the happiness it brought

Through charity, in legion of ways
he disposed of his fortune as speedily as

ter-General Jewell received q complaint from
a western man to the effect that be had sent
out q large number Of letters, many Of them
quite important, and that in no instance had
any one of them been received at their desti-
nation. The writer, assuming that screw
was loose somewhere, requested MIR. Jewell
to make search among the dead letters, with
the view to get a clue as to how the failure
to reach those addressed occurred. At the
same time the writer furnished the Post
master. General with a list of two hun.
dred names, which included those to
whom the missing letters were
said to have been directed. A careful
search was made, and, strange to say, not
one of the names given was found super
scribed on any dead letter. The writer was
notified, when he supplemented The hrst llst
with an additional one covering four hun
dred names. Not one of these could be
found. He was so apprised whep, still I'M
