TAG DEAD-LETTER OFYIcE.-The
forthcoming report Of the Third Assist
ant Postmaster-Genera will show that
1858, 65l letters and packages were
received at the Dead Letter Office dur
ing the fiscal year ending June 80. OF
which, in round numbers, 2,7OO,O 900
were sent thither from the local Post
Offices because unclaimed. 29O,oUO
were held for postage, 1922 600 were
misdirected, 800. 900 bore fictitious adj
dresses, and over 1900 were not adj
dressed at all. The receipts at she Dead
Letter Office also included about 56,OOO
letters returned from hotels, the per-
sons addressed having left for other
places; and 81. 600 letters aud packages
returned from foreign countries. The
great mass of the total number OF let
tiers and packages contained nothing oil
value, and over 1000, 900 Of this des-
cription were destroyed,s the senders
not being found. OF the remainder
21,974 contained drafts, checks, notes
sc, OF the face value OF $1,526,2l7i
and 26, 264 contained money amounting
10 S49, 438. Most Of the property has
been returned TO the owners. A small
amount. however, is still in the custody
of the Department. Some $4,000 let
tiers were opened and returned TO The
writers, and 1854. 900 were returned
without opening. in consequence OF the
names or addresses Of the senders aP'
pearing on the envelopes. A curious
fact, developed by comparison OF these
figures with the similar statistics o
former years, is that the percentage o
undirected, misdirected, and unstampet
letters are almost exactly the same each
wear, these evidences OF carelessness oI
ignorance keeping quite even pace with
the annually increasing amount OF gen
eraI postal business. Postmaster Gen
eral Maynard to-day issued an order d.
recting that all magazines, pamphlets
and other like reading matter re-
ceived at the Dead Letter Office shall
hereafter, instead OF being sold for waste
paper, be distributed 10 charitable ant
reformatory institutions in and arounC
the national capital.

FRAUDS IN CoINs.-The amount oil
"punched' silver CONS in circulation
shows that somebody is stealing from
the money that belongs to the people.
Silver dollars, half dollars, and quarters
are frequently given in change, ~ which
holes have been made so that from
Ten ID fifteen per cent. OF metal has
been punched out. One hundred sill
yer dollars thus mntilated pay the swim
dler at least ten dollars for two or three
hours work.
These punched" coins are taken al
restaurants and retail stores when of
fered by regular customers. The per-
sons who take them pass them OF on
other customers. The banks refuse to
receive them. Out Of three thousand
dollars in silver sent TO q New York
broker, sixty-seven dollars were found
mutilated.
The simple remedy for the proven
ton Of this crime is Cor everybody 10

Then The swindler will find bis occupa-

A woman's Strength.

It is said that Edwin Booth was once
playing Petruchio with an actress consid-
erably larger than himself, and that he
thought she let go the whip too readily,
when, as Petruchio, he wrested it from
the hand of Katharine. So, after the
play was over, he said, "You must hold
on to the whip with more frmness to
morrow night; grasp it as hard as you
can; I'll get it away from you, never
fear" The next performance of Shake
speare's Tanning of the Shrew" came,
and the melancholy-eyed tragedian, who,
for the nonce, was essaying comedy, at
tempted co take the instrument of fiagel-
lation from his female support It waa
no go. She held on to it with grasp Of
iron, and the audience soon began to see
the joke and applauded the actress to the
echo. Finally, out of pure good-nature
she unloosed her hold, and the play pro
ceeded When the curtain fell the acto,

Why was the proposition to form

feated7 It would be gratifying to have
some light on this subject, as we have
heard not single objection to their
measure and yet it was killed. Perhaps
the Tribune or the East Oregoa,ian can
and will make this matter clear and show
that it was right that it should be so.
After H. B. No. 81 was amended by
the Committee on Counties; if passed, it
would have created the County Of Knox,

The Portland, Oregon, Bulletin says
that N. L. Grimes of Salinas City, Mon
terey county, passed through Jackson
vile with his family on the 30th Of Sep
tember from some point north. Among
the household goods was an old cooking
stove into which he had placed for safe
keeping $500 in gold coin, with which
he intended to buy little home in Cali
fornia. When near Ashland man ap-
preached the wagon with $40 gold piece
in his hand, which he said he had just
picked up in their wagon track. 1t was
found that the roll Of twenties had be-
come undons, and had dropped out one
by one through hole that was in the
stove and from there into the road
There were Just two twenties left,
