At an early hour yesterday morning q
woman called at the post-ofiee and par-
chased a Scent stamp, and had it already
clicked to paste ON the letter, when she
discovered that she had left the letter at
home. She received the heartfelt sympa-
thies of the stamp clerk, and went home
for the letter. At IL O'Clock, when the
stamp window was besieged by a crowd,
the woman returned having the letter in
one hand and minute fragment of a
postage stamp in the other
"Stsnd out of the way for poor dis
tressed woman!" she called out as she
made for the window, and those who
didn't obey were polled aside in way
to be remembered by their ribs. The
change which one buyer was about to
pocket was swept off the board on the 1ioor
| by her arms, and she held the fragment
| of stamp and exclaimed to the clerk;
| ''Do you dare, deny, sir, that you sold
me Scent stamp two hours ago:"
81 think sold you stamp" he replied.
| 'sAnd didn't have my letter here. Af-
ter I'd eaten all the paste of the stamp
couldn't find my letter. You remember? ?"
! eSs remember
ssWeH, sir, carried that stamp all the
way home on the tip of my finger, and
laid it down on the windy-sill till could
find my letter, and what did my Clarence
| do but pick it ap and begin to chew away.
and by the time could choke his mouth
open nothing was left but this little bit.'
.'And you want another 20
AZ demand another, sir, in place of
thisl''
81 couldn't do that
'sBut you'll have to! This is the stamp
bought of you, Look for yourself and
see. make oath that L never put it on
letter. Am to be cheated out of my 3
cents in back-handed way?'
The crowd began to call out and jostle
her, but by vigorous use of feet and ell
bows she cleared the space again and said:
al demand a new stamp"
The clerk tried to explain how she
couldn't get one in exchange, but she
interrnpted:
Shave got to murder my child sad
get the rest of the stamp? Never! Phi
never leave this windy till 1 have a new
stamp to put on my letter to ThomasH'
The clerk tried to explain again, but
she brought the letter down with a thump
and said :.
az leave this letter here. 1t is to my
Thomas I'm Port Huron. Ifhe doesn't get
it in three days you'll hear from me and
my four big girls and three sons, and
when our family gets started on row we
never stop for the biggest postoffice in
America -
At dark last night the clerk was unde-
cided. lie doesn't like to be bluffed into
going down for his small change, but In
the dim future he sees a solemn process
sion, headed by determined old lady,
marching down the corridor to make va
1 eancv in the ranks of government.

Letter from Indiana.
BOURBON, MARSHALL Co., IND,
May 18th, 1879. !


May 18th, 1879.
EDS. HERALD:
Dear Sirs: thought would ask for
short space in the HERADD, which very
highly appreciate.
While among my old friends of Wash
ington and Fayette county enjoyed my
self very much, and the many warm hand
shakes which were every where extended
to me, for which feel very thankful as
evidences of their friendship.
On my return home, I came by the way
Of indianapolis. where I remained over
Sunday with Strauder Bybee and his
mother, at their new home. They are as
well situated as need be; think they will
enjoy the change made when they become
acquainted. Addison Bybee's family win
remain with them during the Summer,
and Addison himself win be with them
occasionally, making that his home.
Wheat crops are looking very fine, but
I fear rather too forward for this time in
the season. There appears to be more
complaint about corn that is planted not
coming up; it is later than have known
for many years. Those who planted two
year old corn have had no trouble; it all
comes up.
While among you, and in the Office of
Hon. Mills Gardner, remarked that [
had been a subscriber to the HERALD 81
years, when Mr.. G.. said, that according
to his understanding of the laws of Ohio,
everything was free when they arrived
at the age of 2l years, and that | would
certainly be entitled to the paper for the
rest of my life free. How is that, Mr..
Editor? Though it may be that Mr.. Gard
ner is mistaken, as he certainly was,
when, on that occasion, he said the fish
which had described as being so plenti-
ful in the lakes of Marshall county, In
diana, were only bullfrOgs.
Yours truly,
GEORGE BYBEE. $

The anti-land monopoly clauses of the
new Constitution of California made the
instrument popular in the agricultural
regions, and undoubtedly secured 1T the
votes necessary. Reforms as to that matter
might have been secured by legislative
action. The Constitution as whole Is
wicked, preposterOus and ruinons to the
State. 1t will not be in force for live
years.-O. s. Journal.

GEN. GRANT IN LoUISvILLE.-Mayor BaXte
welcomed Gen. Grant to the city or Louisville
yesterday in brief speech, which. after re-
counting the most notable points in his career,
concluded" Now, Gen. Grant, here at the
very gateway of the south. In the metropolis OF
Kentucky, we welcome you, not only as Ken
tuckianS, but as American citizens, loving our
country, its constitution and its laws. Fellow
citizens have the pleasure of introducing to
you our honOred guest, Gen. Grant" This
speech was followed by ringing cheers for len.
Grant. Gov. Blackburn then. as chief executive
officer OF the state, extended to Gen. Grant
hearty welcome to the soil of Kentucky, regret
ting that his present visit was limited TO Louis
vile. In the course OF his speech he Said:-"We
have been gratitied to recognize the honor paid
to you as a soldier, and one who has already
filed full page In your countrys history, and
to know that you have achieved these results
whilst nurtured under the dome of that temple
of liberty constructed by and cemented with
the blood of our revolutionary sres. In a re-
public like ours it Is but natural that the entire
population should share in the success and
triumphS of one or her citizens" Gen. Grants
response was brief, and in substance the same
as he had uttered On similar occasions else
where. The procession then reformed and
marched to the Louisville hotel, where Gen.
Grant held a reception during the afternoon,
receiving the general council school board,
Mexican veterans eX-SoldierS, citizens and COL
Ored citizens.
