There were some mad men III Il
certaip Kentucky post Office lew
days ago. A postal card was
dropped into the letter box adj
dressed to 'Rev. Joln Pennb-
SEQ, -" at WAS an ordi-
nary card, aud the post master
was an ordinary post master. he
took it mp, gIanced at the address,
turned it legisurely over and read:
s., -, May 2, 1879. Won,
to whom this card is not address
ed, and who, nevertheless, have
the cheek to read ii, are Il con
temptible, unprincpIed sneak, aud
a pryiug, pusiilanimous coward.
George #. Dugan.' The post
master laid the card gently down
and lnupged tolthe other end OF the
house, softly whi=tling Nancy Lee.
In due time the clerk came rpon
the card, perused it, and made the
neiglrborhood hideous with the
howls of his pet dog, which he
kicked in the ribs. How the card
fired with the various route
agents shrough whom it passed, it
is impossible to say; MOI do we
know whether it was read 10y the
woman wiaois postmistress ut the
office where the Rev. Jnhn Penob-
scot is supposed to get his mail;
hut The report is chat. on the day
it reached there she smashed u
bottle of ink on her husbands
head, spanked the children all
round, and chewed up ninety five
cents worth of WAX. We can not
be too careful never to write on
postal cards anything in Che Ilens!
calculated to wound the sensitive
delicacy of the postofiice peoples
