A RESURRECTION.
A Dead Letter Revived After Forty
Years.

Washington Letter to the Graphical
Wonders are constantly occurring in the
dead letter Office, and one of the most re-
markable incidents in the history of the
office transpired the other day. In 1886
Samuel Gardner bought certificate of de-
post of $3.50 on the Onondaga bank of SYRIA
cuse, New York, and mailed it in letter to
his brother, Palmer Gardner, at the village
of Detroit Michigan terri DRY. preparing
the postage, which at III t time was 10 cents
The letter was received at the Detroit post
Office, but Ii was not called for by Palmer
Gradner. and after ninety days il was sent to
the dead letter Office at Washington where
it was opened, and the name of the person
who sent it being discovered it was remailed
to him at Syracuse, but was never called for,
and was sent back to the dead letter Office,
where, with its contents, it was fled away
among other valuables.
Some years ego a museum Of curiosities
that had been taken from dead letters was
placed in the ante room of the office. and
amor an infinite variety of articles exhibit
ed was the envelope in which Palmt Gard
ners certificate was enclosed, with ticket
attached to call the attention of spectators
to the manner in which valuable letters
were sent in the last generation. During
last summer the dead letter Office museum
was visited by thousands of tourists, and one
day an old lady went to Mr.. Dallas, the SUI
perlntendent, ana maze some inquiries
about that particular envelope, saying that
she had neighbor named Palmer Gardner
in Burlington, Wisconsin,; that he was ali
old man and formerly lived in Syracuse.
Mr.. Dallas told her jokingly that she might
inform him a letter had been waiting him
for Al years. She did go home and tell her
neighbor about the letter, and he wrote at
once to Mr.. Dallas saying that when he was
young man. in 1895, he emigrated from
Syracuse to Detroit, and while there his
brother, Samuel Gardener, sent him some
money, which he never received. and asked
whether he might be informed whether
the letter contained in the envelope which
was on exhibition, bearing his address, was
accompanied by money, and whether it was
signed by Samuel Gardner. Mr. Dallas went
back to the files, brushed the dust Of forty
one years off the letters put away in 1885,
and finding the particular one, discovered
the name Indicated and so informed Palmer
Gardner. saying that il he would make
formal application he might have the letter
and certificate. Such application was made
through the postmaster at Burlington, and
Mr. Gardner's certificate was sent to him.
The bank is not now in existence, so that
he can not realize on the paper. but arith-
meticians may compute the value OF it at
compound interest from June %, 1886, to
February IS, 1877.

quietly sat down. Without acquaintances,
he felt little awkward. He was soon found
out. and when his name was announced
Mrs. = approached him, and as the friend
of his mother, renewed an acquaint-
ance that had existed when George
was little boy, too young to-appreciate
the friendship the lady had entertained for
his mother. But reserve gradually gave
place to confidence. George told his story
to his con iding and sympathizing friend.
While the company was Willing away the
pleasant evening hours George and his lady
friend were walking together along the de-
yious paths his young feet. had
trod Together they were in the
chamber of death, in tho cemetery
by the grave Words forgotten were recalled,
promises made in early boyhood and broken
in after years were remembered and renewed.
A higher and a better life was resolved upon.
A noble work had been performed. Angels
listened with rapture, for there is JOY in
heaven among the angels over one sinner
that repenteth. George arose to go. His
lady friend said "Let me introduce you
'to the company mo-" responded the
young man, ''let me go forth tonight with
your good words, my good resolves, and the
haliowed recollections this interview has
called up for my companions. My soul is
full of bright hopes. Ny mothers spirit is
with me tonight. The future has charms
that l never before realized. Your words
are like benedictions. Tonight
will commune with my heart. You
shall see me again at the social"
The interview was''over. AS George went out
into the night the lady said, 81 believe every
word he said to me; he will be saved" And
George, as he walked even more lightly
on his way home, soliloquized: ''God bless
Mrs -. Her invitation to the social has
saved me-" And on many occasions, since
George has become constant attendant upon
church and has, by his complete reformation
vindicated the confidence of Mrs. -, he
has often been here to say "God bless the
socials of the church." and the ladies who
accomplished so mach in this case feel en-
couraged to look more carefully seward for
o'her barks that are drifting upon reefs and
rocks TO certain shipwreck, and if possible
bring them into the calm waters of the
haven of a church social.

quirerl
Since the first occupancy of the supreme
court by the Nichols militia their vigilance
has not been abated in the least, as it was
then and has since been believed that an eff
fort would be made by republicans to retake
the building. in which is also located one of
the police stations and the arsenal. This
evening that vigilance was rewarded with
the discovery of a plot to blow up the building
planned, undoubtedly, by the republicans,
in hopes that in the confusion consequent
upon the explosion their menials could
manage TO obtain a portion at least of
the records of the court, enough to
re-establish Kellogg's three supreme
judges in some other building, the state
house, perhaps, and thus claim that vantage.
Fortunately this was discovered in time and
frustrated. About noon one of the militia
in the supreme court room saw a covered
wagon stop in front of cigar store opposite,
kept by an Italian. and to which was con-
veyed from the wagon in asurreptitiOus man.
ner eight kegs of gunpowder, the men carry
ing them under the heavy overcoats which
they wore. Later in the evening the wagon
again backed up to the store, and two new
trunks were taken therefrOm into the store.
The police thereupon made a descent and
arrested the men, who proved to be Italians.
The premises were then searched, and
eight kegs of gunpowder, contain
ing Is pounds each, and six
wax candles were found in the rooms.
besides the trunks, evidently full, but which
have not yet been opened. Several bundles
of rags were also found, which were in
tended, doubtless, to be twisted into fuse
or fuses The prisoners were then taken to
the station, and, upon being searched, a re-
ceipted bill for eight kegs of powder was
indicated the purchaser. An investigation
revealed that the men had early in the day
engaged room on the north side of the
court buildings, but, upon the landlord find
ing out that the intention was to make it a
powder magazine, he peremUtorily refused
them admittance. They then secured
room, and paid two dollars in advance. Du-
ring the evening although the arrest was kept
as quiet as possible, eight Italians applied
for the release of the prisoners and, upon be-
ing refused, begged an interview, but without
success. The prisoners when interviewed,
protested their ignorance of the language.
and when addressed in Spanish said they
had purchased the powder as speculation.
Further than that they. would not say. Not
withstanding they pretended not TO under
stand when asked their age in English, one
said forty-eight years; occupation, laborer.
From his investigation, which can't yet be
made public, the chief of police has slight
doubt but this is an effort ON the part OF
Packardites to blow up the court building
with the Nichols militia, and secure the
records for the purpose of getting their su-
preme court in shape.

View OF the Situation from q Western
Standpoint by AN Eastern Paper.
New York Express.l


Indignant democrats rise up on every
side and in every part of he land, from
New England to the far west, and the most
indignant come from that class who neither
expected nor desired any Office
under the new administration.
The western people are intensely bitter
against the party who have plundered
the government and country. partly be-
cause they had so long hoped for and
worked for the change secured to them
by the vote in November last, and
partly for their great love and admira-
ton for their own favorite, Thomas A. Hen
bricks. of Indiana. whose place has been
usurped by William A. Wheeler. of New
York. The Indiana Sentinel says of the
feeling at Governor Hendricks home that
there are mutterings on the street
and in places of public resort
among the democrats, and 1t could
not be otherwise" In the first moment of
righteous wrath the mingled indignation
and disgust prompt many democrats there
to say that they will never vote again. that
Its of no use;" but when they reflect
they will conclude not to please
their enemies 50 much" We quite
in saying the feeling of indignation
at the outrage perpetrated is deep seated,
and among many democrats is venomous;
but it should not provoke them to still fur
Their crafty their opponents by staying away
from the polls, by betraying symptoms of
Generalization, by weakly permitting the
party of theft to capture everything in the
shape of government, municipal or state.

A Washingfen Tradition.

While Hayes was in the presidents room
at the capitol yesterday 1t was proposed by
some one that he should go up in;o the sem
ate chamber. the senate being in session at
the time. To this there was a mild remon-
STRANGE on the part of one or two senators who
happened to be present. There is tradi-
ton, or an unwritten law, prevailing in that
body that the president shall never enter the
senate, and since the time OF Washington no
president has done so. While Washington
was in Office he at one time appeared on the
floor of the senate and urged the passage of
q treaty then pending. For this act Of his
tnere was an outcry OF public indignation
that threatened for the time TO drive the
father of our country TO the walks OF private
life. 1t had one good effect-thst of making
aIl.subsequent presidents careful not to aP-
appear on tho floors Of congress.
