hour, day after day and month after
month.
A few months ago an application
was received for letter which had
famous history. Forty-two years ago
it missed its destination and landed in
the Dead-Letter Office. No call was
made for it, and there it remained in
the archives till the defendants of the
writer, wishing to prove their right to
his property, obtained from old journ-
ais the information that the deed had
been mailed at such time to such
person, but had never reached its des-
tination. They then made application
to the Department for the letter. The
odds we're so greatly against them that
their surprise must have been bound
less when the old yellow document
was returned to them just as it had
been mailed over forty years ago.
Many will remember the great SEN
sation caused by the account of the
marriage of Don Cabral, the Diamond
King" Ga fictitious character created
by Mr.. William II. McElroy,
of the Albany Erening Journol.) Pa
pers all over the country published the
accounts, and as subsequence hum
dreds of letters addressed to him came
to the Dead-Letter Office, and were
afterward returned to Mr.. McElroy,
as the only living representative of the
fictitious Don. In his application for
them he says: IL do not wish these
letters for publication, but would val
ue them for file in my scrap-book, as
Illustrating in a marked and unique
manner the success of "The Brazilian
Wedding" an extravaganza directed
at one Of the folles of modern life"
The writer's of these letters repre-
sented every degree of life and all with
American directness asked donations
or loans from him for this or that pur-
lose. Some even enclosed Il postage
stamp or a photograph, only to have
the clerks who returned these letters
wonder at their credulity.
Every day there comes with the list
from Philadelphia letter enclosed in
a plain white envelope and addressed
in the delicate chirography ola woman,
to Edward p. Ewing" simply this
and nothing more. The lady never
signs anything but her initials, hence
the letters cannot be returned to her.
Here is the subject for romantic nov
Ell. One can imagine broken-hearted
woman every day sending letter out
into the world to her lost lover, in the
vain hope that some day it may reach
his hands. She does not know his
whereabouts, 80 she sends her letter
out, directed anywhere, nowhere, hop
ing, yet despairing of its ever reaching
him.
AS your correspondent left this in
teresting place he couldn't help think
ing how much trouble and sad
ness would be averted if people would
only direct their letters in loud hand
as Pat did when writing to his deaf
grandmother, making the superscip-
ton plain and full, or if this does not
suit the ladies let them always add
their addresses to their letters and
they will never be lost.

Some one who knew Artcmus Ward
and his ways quite we'll tells us that
when engaged on newspaper work he
used to be necessarily whiting his
chair and desk. In writing, when a
funny thing struck him, he would
laugh with a guffaw which seemed to
shake him from his heels upward. He
sat in an armchair always, with his
left leg swung over the arm of his
chair. When the joke came he used
to pound the table with his fist, slap
the long, thin leg that hung over the
chair, and explode with laughter. 1t
was his habit to share good joke
with his associates in the office at once.
He wrote very rapidly, and writing
seemed to come easy to him. He
laughed nearly all the time he was
writing.

they knew nothing about such matters IN othe r

tusl account of now much they had lessened the
number of employees and expenses OF the House

tain silence than give facts. | Judge from what
