A Curiosity of journalism.

One of the curiosities of journalism
is a set Of letters, which is filed away in
this Office, emanating from a faithful
correspondent in New Haven. For
ten years and odd, letters have come
every two weeks from this correspond
ent, each letter being bulky and prop
erly prepaid, som metimes with two and
sometimes with three stamps. The
correspondence is never printed and
never viii be. The author once signed
himself James," but all subsequent
letters bear the initials "a. 2. j."
Who ne is, or what his object in writing
save to put his views upon paper ard
pay liberal postage thereon, cannot
be stated. He is perhaps an inmate OF
some lunatic asylum who is allowed to
pass his time In this innocent amuse-
ment. The letters are each disserta-
ton upon some abstruse point of con-
stitutional law, and are very verbose
and inconsequential in argum ent.-

Frank James, AIibi Scheme.

Mr.. Charles Noland, the attorney,
brings back with him from his some
what protracted visit to Independence
very favorable opinion of Frank
James, with whom ne mad a number
of conversations in jail. James is con-
fident he will not be convicted of any
of the crimes charged against him,
and he asserts confidently that he can
prove alibis in every case. The habit
which western people formed of at
tributing every robbery, every crime
of more than ordinary magnitude
to either him or his brother Jesse had
made him cautious, and he claims to
have taken action in each case looking
towards his vindication in case it ever
should happen, as it has happened,
that he should come within the range
Of the law. His plan, as he states it,
was, whenever the newspapers record
| ed big robbery on the morning after
| the occurrence, to seek out prominent
citizens of the town in which he hap
pened to be residing and discuss it with
| them. "Tbese men didn't know who
was, then, Of course" he said, "but
when the circumstance is recalled to
them they will be able to remember it
and identify me IS the man who con-
versed with them about it." He adds
that in every case where he was men
toned as being concerned in the great
robberies he was from 500 to 1000
miles away from the place where they
occurred, the next morning, as he can
prove by prominent men with whom
he cOnyerSed in carving ont MS ulan
of establishing an aGbi. He has not
changed his mind about detectives,
still entertaining the highest contempt
for them, not on account of the profes-
sion which they follow, but on account
of the manner in which they follow it.
To illustrate, he relates how he has
| frequently assisted detectives who
were trying to get the reward offered
for the capture of Frank James, giving
them advice as to the best mode of
procedure, and offering to be a sbarer
with them in the venture.-&. Louis

Mr.. Loveland's scheme embraces a
complete travelling opera-house. He
expects to build about fifteen cars
which can travel by rail or placed on
trucks and hauled some distance from
the railroad track. One of these cars
will be made so as to open and form
stage sixty feet wide and over q hun
dred feet deep. The others will be
drawn together and opened out so as
to form floor with opera-chairs capa-
BILE of seating 5000 people. Over all
will be spread huge tent. Good
scenery will be carried along, and the
stage and auditorium will be illuminat-
ed with the electric light, manufactur-
ed by an engine carried in one of the
cars. He expects that it Will cost So
600 or 100000 to put the show on the
road
