ROBBING THE MAILS.
Almost Impossible to Escape Detection.

"How often does a letter robber es-
cape ?" asked reporter of the Post of
postoffice detective yesterday.
"That depends" was the answer.
eff postal clerk, for instance, makes
practice of rifing letters he is sure to
be caught-there is nothing surer.
Your periodical thief is the one who
may evade apprehension for some time.
He may make a big haul to-day and
then stop for month or so. Suspicion
may rest upon him and he is Swallowed.
No evidence can be found against him,
and finally the inspectors are called off
to work up new cases.
After every thing has quoted down
the thief may make another haul, and
may keep the thing up for some time
before he is caught.
A postoffice inspector, who recently
returned from Southern city, where
he has been investigating the theft of
$500 from letter in a postoffice, told
Post reporter yesterday that he soon
became convinced that this theft was
committed by one of two females in the
office. He employed the decoy-letter
method of detection. One of these fe-
males is lady of high order of intellig
ence, whose father left her 500 900, to
which she has added some $4,000 since.
Something told him that she was the
guilty party, and one day when he was
alone with her he said: Miss, you
know that theft has been committed
in this office. Now you will excuse
me for saying that it was committed
in this room, where only you and
another lady are employed. OF
course you, as perfectly honest
woman, will have no objection to
showing me what you have on your
person-the contents of your pockets. J"
"Why, certainly not" was the reply,
and the lady at once showed him what
her pockets contained, but the contents
did not include money. Have you no
money about you?" he asked. Il have
some in the pocket of my sacque, which
hangs in a closet in the next room.
l will get it" "Oh, no" replied the in
spector, "you want to be completely
vindicated. Let me examine the sacque,
which he did, finding it the identical
bills and the Identical coins which he
had marked and put in the decoy let
ter. The thief then confessed that since
her father had left her 500, 900 she had
become seized with an uncomfortable
passion for adding to that sum, and that
she had been rifing letters occasionally
ever since. The case will probably be
compromised by her dismissal and the
restitution of the stolen money.

A SAD STORY.
A Society Belle Who Goes to the Lowest
Dapths.


A Baltimore dispatch of July IA says:
There is now pending in a court of equi-
ty, in Baltimore divorce suit, which
has brought to light particulars of a
most revolving character, illustrating in
startling and distressing manner the
blighting effects of the opium habit.
Owing to the high social standing of
the parties involved, the greatest secre-
cy has been observed, and the names
are Withheld from publication. As is
known, however, the unfortunate vic
tim of the deadly drug was until her
marriage In 1869 a noted society belle
living on the eastern shore. She grad
uated with high honors, and upon en-
tering society was recognized as the
belle of the country, which boosted
many beautiful women. She had scores
of admirers, but gave her hand to a gen.
tleman living in the same country of
equal social rank and wealth. The
wedding was so'emnized with great &c
lat and was one Of the most prominent
social events of the eas IN shore. For
several years the married life of the
couple was one of great happiness.
Three children blessed the union. Soon
after the birth of the last child it was OBJ
served that the lady became subject to
fits of melancholy, at times taking no
interest in anything around her and
again being buoyant and cheerful. An
old and trusted servant finally discovered
that the wife was a confirmed opium
eater. Every effort was made by the
distracted husband to break her of the
habit, but without success. Two years
ago she disappeared still young and
pretty-and though detectives were en-
ployed, no trace of her could be found.
Recently policeman of this city OBJ
served among the names of persons sent
to the house of correction that of the
missing women whom he had known In
youth. Upon her discharge he traced
her to one of the vilest dens in this city.
kept by a colored woman. The officer
notified the husband, and q few davi
ago they went together to the place,
and the husband found his long-lost
wife--his beautiful bride of few years
before-in the company of coarse,
brute looking negro. The wretched
man sprang forward to destroy her, but
was restrained by the policeman. All
trace of the woman's former beauty had
disappeared and she was unacceptable
even to her husband. Evidence for the
divorce suit was obtained and the opium
victim left to her fate. In conversation
she appeared to be wholly depraved and
did not manifest the slightest regret for

except when allusion was made TO her
children, when she betrayed some little

Grandeur of the Republican Party i.

Speech of r. T. Storrs in Boston
The republican party has made of jar
ring States nation, and it has made that ma
ton free-free in every sense and IN its Iarg
est sense, and on this continent what an edifice
has it reared, the dome as broad and vast as
the arching skies above us from whose walls
we have removed the decaying timbers of hu-
man chattlehood and replaced them with the
everlasting granite of universal freedom
From those walls we have effaced the old
foul inscriptions of the bad old times The
bred Scott decision, with it's internal doctrine,
no longer fiaunts it's shame in our eyes The
story of the escaping slave no longer is re-
corded on its banners; the crack of the whip
has died away; the bay of the pursuing
bloodhound is a bad recollection of bad
past; the imploring cry of the pur-
sued slave is heard no more But
Redeemed as if a planet shone upon it, glstens
there republic beneath whose flag every hu-
man being is Free free to think, free to speak
and free to vote as he pleases. The old blus-
tering spirit of our institutions before the war
that elevated itself on Its piles of boxes and
bales and chalked its dollar and cent marks
all over Gods ten commandments, has been
pulled down and in its place, coming from
her throne among the stars, is that radiant
spirit which worship in my waking hours and
in my dreams-the spirit of a mighty, free en-
pre- with its glistening coronet upon her brow,
with sword, and shield, and plume, taking the
poorest of our citizens by the hand and saying,
by the living God, he shall be free" to think,
to speak, to vote as he pleases, and for the in
carnation of that mighty spirit urge the cleo
ton and shall vote for Blaine and Logan.

General 1Ogan's Speech at Toledo.

Toledo Special General Logan spoke at
League Park to one of the largest audiences
that ever assembled in this city He claimed
that the only monument erected by the Demo-
cratic party had been its course in relation to
free trade 81 will not say that they are acting
the part ofagents of the British government,
but do say that misguided though they are,
they performed the same service for the
British government while they had the power
in this country that the lords of England would
have performed if they had seats in the con-
gress of the United States In reply to a
portion of Gov. Hendricks recent speech Gen.
Logan said 'fMr. Hendricks stated that tho
Republican party h ad been derelct in its duty
toward foreign-bOTn citizens in distant lands,
who had been permitted to suffer because of
the failure of one part of the Republican party
to preform their duty. Now, | am sorry that
Mr. Hendricks made that statement While
the Democratic party stood in control of this
country for forty years, let my friend Mr..
Hendricks point out one single statute that
was enacted by the Democratic party declaring
that q citizen of the United States should be
protected, whether he was native or foreign
born, when he passed back to his native cOun-
try 1t was left for the Republican party in
the year 1858 to pass law declaring that a citi-
zen of this country, foreign-born, should be
protected on his own mother soil in person and
property, the same as if he were native born
citizen, and never was that doctrine enunciated
in statute of this country by the Democratic
party"
''When proclamation was issued suppress
ing slavery the Democratic party everywhere
opposed it in congress and out of congress, and
no act has ever been passed yet IN favor OF
human freedom by the Democratic party in d
ont of congress- In reply to statement by
Gov. Hendricks in his speech at the fair
grounds, to the passage of the homestead
act, Gen. Logan recited the history of those
laws During Buchanan's administration the
homestead bill passed, and it was left to Re
publican congress in the administration of
President Lincoln TO pass the homestead bill
and the bill for land given for agricultural
colleges was signed by Lincoln. The speaker
ridieuled the tariff plank of the Democratic
national platform We were compelled to go
back TO history to know what that plank meant.
The party was free trade party before the
war and the constitution of the Southern con-
federacy contained a free trade provision.
The Confederates in consequence received
sympathy and aid from England, because the
eleven seeding states would have been opened
to her commerce and manufacturers.
