THE CUNvICTID POSTMASTEE.
Discovery of "a Plan for the Printing o1
Fraudulent Postal Cards.

Discovery of I, Plan for the Printing of
Fraudulent Postal Cards.
An important discovery has been made
by United States Agent Camp 1T the home
OF Linton J. Croft, the dishonest pOstmas-
ter OF Linton, Ohio, who was recently con-
victed of forging postal money orders.
While searching Groff's premises for evil
dcnces of the mans guilt as 10 money
order printing, Mr.. Camp uncarthcd
number Of very skillfully executed plates
for the printing of postal cards, together
with material sufficient to show that Croft
had spent a great deal of thought and not a
little cash in that direction. There was
paper already cut in postal card form. but
the shade was entirely too light and its use
would have betrayed its spurious charac-
ter There were also found Il large num-
Der of business addresses, and the iudica-
tions are that GroE intended going into
the business of printing cards for many
firms on the backs of postal cards made by
himself This branch Of his nefaliOus plan
would have been an extremely profitable
one, costing him small fraction
of cent and selling for the
regular price plus the cost Of printing.
The neatness OF the engraving was special
ly noted, and Mr.. Camp obtaining clew
to the artisan who executed tho work,
found him in New York. 1t turned out
however, that the engraver had acted in
good faith, Croft representing that he
wished the cut merely for advertising pur
poses, ordering his name and address ell
graved on the same block and to appear
rs part of the card. He thus allayed all
suspicion and received his cut. At Wells
vile he had only to separate that part of
the cut bearing the address from the head
and use the latter in his printing Office.
Inasmuch as Croft had not yet issued or
''uttcrcd'' any OF his cards, his offense
was, IN the eyes of the law, 4 negative
one. aud no action could be taken in the
matter.

In one of his verses, Oscar Wilde, the
aesthetic poet, alludes to s'the barren
memory Of unkissed Kisses" An un-
kissed kiss, thinks the matter-of- fact
market editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin,
is the barrenest thing within the range OF
human experience.

Killed by Bees.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
Mr.. John Massey, well-todo farmer,
near Bridgeton, liz St. Louis county, is
quite bee fancier. Among the animals
upon his well-stOckcd farm was \ blind
horse, and an excellent animal he was
barring the loss of sight. i few days ago
the horse turned into Il small pasture, and
adjoining this was a lot containing twenty
seven stands of bees. An open gate gave
the animal access to both enclosures, and
his familiarity with the premises was such
that lie passed from one to the other, nip
ping grass, rs though possessed of two
good eyes. The poor blind horse 1T last
lost his bearings, stumbled i'll among the
beehivcs and upset several stands. Out
poured the bees from their honeycomb in
thousands to punish the despoiler of their
sweet homes. How long they were in re-
cognizing the horse as their foe is not
known, for it was only learned by his
groans and neigh' of pain that anything
unusual had happened. No one could do
thing to relieve the suffering beast, for
the bees were mad. Left unmolestcd the
bees spent their whole fury upon tho
horse, covering every inch of his hide rom
head to foot and stir B, him to death in
about twenty minutes!

Christendom, recognizing the grand
principle of equality, cinancipatcd A.
TOO. 900 of slaves. The bondage Of evnii
1000, 900 Of people was 4 bnsis on which
TO found the greatest party TINT has yet
arisen among ns. ct must be remem-
bcrel that the Republican party was n
party Of principles in its inception that
the feelings which give II birth stirred
the human heart to its lowest depth Mt
that time. But now, when the human
itnrians and philanthropists Of these
States behold 10000, 900 Of people en-
shaved by bondage as much more
damning ~ it is more subtle and Ills
glised, and propose to establish party
Oh the basis Of opposition to its already
overwhelming and continually growing
principle oil which to build.
But the people are awakening. Every
setting sun adds new converts 10 the
young party, already giant in soul if
not in body. The peoples redemption
lies in their capacity to think. Thought
is the slayer Of each form Of tyranny; il
Is the giant-killer Of all ages; and
thought is abroad in every land untler
the sun. II is stimulating to revolt III
Russia md in Germany, to u knowledge
Of human rights in Ireland and En-
gland, and to the emancipation Of the
genius of labor in the United States. It
will never rest until capital gives the
right Of way, and labor, reg,ncrat ii,
free, holy, opens the thoroughiares for
the stagnant energies Of the race. The
National Greenback party is the Ma
tional. Labor party rs well. Sworn foe
to each form Of monopoly, it stands by
the individual rights Of every man under
the sun.

How a Man Became Insane.

The Hermit Of the Troy IN. W
Times. writes:
A large number of lunatics i'm our asy-
lums are the victims Of their own mis-
conduct. Almost any man can make
himself a lunatic if he pursues tn, di-
rect method. There are hun
dreis and perhaps thousands in this
city driving themselves to madness.
Gambling, speculation, and hard drink
ing will undermine the strongest intel
lects. A young man Of my acquaint-
ance has lately been sent to Blooming
dale asylum, who was a few years ago SO
promising as to obtain M important APP
pointment. He abused his position, be-
came suddenly gambler, and rake as
we'll As defaulter. Such course Of
vice destroyed his reason, and lie is one
Of the incurablcs.
The same idea is advanced Inv Ho-
garth, who finished the "Rakes Pro-
gress," by the scene il the the mad
house. During the last five years large
numbers have been carried to the asy-
lnm the victims Of speculation. The
love Of pleasure and the haste 10 Get
rich have done fearful work. After
the intellect has been over-driyen it
must sink. and perhaps remain in hope

of the public has been called to this SUBJ
ject by the press, and additional room
must be provided. We must either
abate that furious intemperance which
is driving SO many to madness or we
must double our asylums all through
tho State.

with the warty toads they call their
wives. and the women get enough suffer.
