Mrs. L. F. Baldy writes to the
Express of yesterday evening COM
planning of Postmaster Dunkel-
berger. She says: "About Elk
months ago ! ordered pair
of corsets for lady. They
were sent from San Francisco by
mail, tut never reached me, and /
have always had a great curiosity
to know who was wearing those
corsets, as they were rather pecul.
lar. l did not know at that time
that continual persistence could
bring out of that mysterious build
ing what the Postmaster said was
not there; and before I found 1t out
l losta twenty dollar portrait. I
hope no Route Agent took it (as
Mr., d. limited that they might
tamper with the maiD" Now we
would like to know what has be.
come of those corsets. We hope
they were placed where they did
the most good. Although we can't
be persuaded to warm up to the
baby carriage fund, we can be
aroused to q Janguid interest IN the
fate, Of corsets of a "peculiar"
make. An investigation as to
their disappearance is in order.
The Mechanics store elsewhere
advertises for sale superb range
of clothing and furnishing goods.
Mr.. Meyerstein, during his late
visit to San Francisco, ransacked
that city for the latest anu most
fashionable styles and for bargains.
The result is that the purchaser
can obtain at the Mechanics store
nearly every article of wearing APP
parel, from a complete suit of
clothes to a pair Of suspenders, at a
very low price. At the Mechanics
store they rely upon small profits
and quick sales. Give Meyerstein
a cali, under the Lafayette Hotel.
He is the presiding genius Of the
Mechanics store and is prepared to
see that ali visitors are courteously
treated.
Owing to the failure OF the pur-
chaser to pay up, M. d. Hare,

needing anything in the house,
keeping line should not fail to be
on hand, as rare bargains can be
had.

A Pet Mule.

IIe was showing tho man the
new bay mule that he was working
in the team with the old gray.
"You warrant him sound an
perfectly kind and gentleH the
man said.
"Perfectly," said farmer John.
"My wife and children drive him,
and he is a perfect pet; comes into
the house like dog"
aEasy to shoe?" asked the man.
"Well, guess SO; fact is, I never
had i'm shodi don't believe in 1t;
he works better without it," said
farmer John.
"How does he act when you put
the crupper on?" asked the man.
Farmer Brown hesitated. "WelI,
pretty good, 1 guess" he said; "fact
is, l never put 1t on"
"How does it get on?n asked the
man; "who puts it on?"
"WelI, l kind o. don't know"
said farmer John; "fsct is, he had
the harness on when I got him, an
it fl him so we'll, and he seemed to
be SO kind o. contented In 1t like,
that I sort o. never took 1t off'n

"And how long have you had

Farmer John chewed wheat
straw very meditatively. "Weli,' y
he said, mot to exceed more'n two

The cattle in large portion Of
Bengal are dying at the rate Of
hundreds day. and the streams
are completely chOked with dead
bodies. The decrease in the num-
Der aud the deterioration in the
quality of the agricultural cattle
all over British India Is one of the
gravest features to be noted in con-
nection with the general condition
of the peasautry. In no respect
have the various famines produced
q more dangerous effect than in this
direction. There Is reason to doubt
whether either men or animals OBJ
tain a sufficient supply of food now
even in ordinary times, The con-
sequence is that both succumb with
terrible facility to the slightest
scarcity or to the mildest disease.
Such a state of things tends to per-
petuate itself. The quality Of the
cultivation falls off with the char.
acter of the bullocks employed in
1t. Deep pioughing becomes more
and more exceptional, while the
cost of replacing the dead animals
by other beasts tends still further
to the impoverishment Of the peO-
pie. In Madras and Bombay the de-
struotion of cattle has been ap.
palling, while in Burnham there
has also been a plague. The gen.
eral condition of the agricultural
population throughout India is
such as to occasion grave uneasi-
ness. Continuous Improvement bids
fair to be followed by continuous
famine. There 10 scarcity amount
ing almost to famine even at this
moment in Madras, Bombay, the
northwest provinces, and Bengal.
Yet the only remedy proposed is
Increased taxation.

A London paper tells us that one

six or eight inches between them.

ney in eleven hours and twenty
minutes, the sea being very calm.
A small sailing yacht came across
with him, the owner of which
says they reached mid-channel in
four hours, when o strong current
set in aud impeded their progress.
Fowler packed his boat in carpet
bag and returned to Boulogne by

A SENATE DOOR KEEPERS
SEARCH.
The Chairs Once PILED by Clay, Calhoun,
Webster, Benton and Oass.
From an interview with World corres-
pondent.l

From an interview with World corres-
pondent.l
HIs is true, Mr.. Bassett,u asked
the correspondent, "that the seats
and desks which were once occu-
pied by Webster, Clay, Calhoun,
Benton, Cass, and the Senate gen.
orally of half a century ago, are
now in use in the Senate Cham
ber?"
"Perfectly true" was the reply.
"I know the Senators who occupy
the seats and desks of the statesmen
you have named. I am the only
person. I believe, who knows the
history Of the furniture Of the
Chamber. I have certain marks
on the desks and seats which Clay,
Calhoun, Webster, Benton, Cass,
and a dozen other prominent Sena-
tors Of their time, occupied by
which I can identify them. 1t costs
me great deal Of trouble to keep
the chairs and desks together dur
ing the session. The sweepers
move the chairs about. Often I
have found Webstei's chair before
Clay's desk, aud the new chair OF
some member from State recent
ly admitted to the Union, before
Calhoun's desk. You see every
time a State is admitted, two new
chairs and desks are made for the
new Senators. frequently 1 am
asked by Senators, to point out to
them the seats OF Webster and Clay
but always refuse. 1.-THE history
Of the seats became known, curioe-
ity-hunters would cut and deface
them. Just about the time the
seats were moved from the old
Chamber, where the Supreme
Court now is, to the new one, some
one cut few splinters from Web
ster's chair, but l had it repaired
and changed the position of 1t, and
it has not been marred since. It is
not possible for me to be mistaken
about the identity of the furniture.
In an iron safe keep a list of the
seats and desks have named with
the names of the Senators who oc.
cupy them at present. Some of
them are very able men I assure
you. Others are not so able"
"Is the seat and desk occupied
by JEFF Davis now in the Senate?n
ayes, and it has a history, too,"
said Mr.. Bassett. 81 opened the
doors of the Senate Chant Der DUR
ing the war to admit the Massa-
chusetts regiment which was
m0bbed at Baltimore on its way
South. The troops lodged in the
chamber. The seats and desks had
not been taken out ut the time.
One morning when I came to the
Capitol I heard u terrible noise In
the Senate. hurried through the
lobby, and opening a door to the
chamber saw about twenty soldiers
charging bayonets into Davis's
desk. I yelled to them to stop, and
asked them what they me1nt by
demolishing the furniture. "rhis
Is that old traitor Dlvis's seat"
one of them replied, "and we mean
to smash it,"
mo, 1t Is not,n I cried. "rhat
seat belongs to the United States.
Davis only occupied It." The Joys
saw the sense of what said, and
they stopped jabbing the desks
with their bayonets. had it re-
paired and 1t is now occupied
by"
Here the old gentleman stopped
short as ii he had almost forgotten
himself, and, without naming the
occupant of Davis's seat, changed
the subject.
