A VICARIOUs CONSCIENCE.
One Men Restores to the Government Money
Stolen by Another.

ashington Letter.
The archives of the government contain many
curious communications, but none probably
possess more romantic interest than the fol
lowing, which your correspondent was per
mitted to read yesterday by the courtesy of a
Treasury Department official 1t was letter
which accompanied large sum of money as
contribution to the conscience fund. The writer
began by stating that in the year 1866 he was a
passenger the steamship Henry Chauncey,
from New York to San Francisco He was
telegraph operator. aud under engagement
to the California State Telegraph Com
pany During the voyage he became ac-
quainted with gentleman who was known
to his fellow passengers as Charles Edmund
Hastings fast friendship grew up between
him and the writer Upon their arrival in San
Francisco they put UP at the same hotel and
occupied adjoining rooms. What followed is
here given in the writer's own words: 1.-The next
day reported for duty. Late in the afternoon
/ received among a number OF other kilograms
one from the Chief Inspector of the Post
Office Department at Washington direct
ing the authorities at San Francisco to
keep sharp lookout for Charles Emmons
who had stolen money to the amount of
s., 000. while an empoye of the New York
postoffice. The description of Emmons tailed
exactly with that of my friend Hastings, and in
some indefnable manner l became convinced
that he and the defaulter were and the same
person. Upon the impulse of the moment
slipped the message into my pocket When |
l.
and asked him TO read it. | then told him my
suspicious Without going too deeply into par
ticulars, he confessed everything 1t was the
old story He had sunk every dollar he pos
sessed in Wall street, and, in an evil moment
had used the funds of the Office until de-
lection stared him in the face He started
for New Orleans but hearing the police were on
his track conceived the daring plan of returning
to New York and embarking from there for Cal
ifornia. While search was being made for him
in the South. he was rapidly steaming away to
the Pacific slope. AT the expiration of several
weeks they had probably found new clew,
which had resulted in the sending of the tele-
gram in question. Hastings begged me not to
expose him, and promised that under new
name and in new country he would begin
life over and in few years make good
the governments loss. / promised silence, and
he disappeared that night. / learned from a
mutual friend some months later that Emmons
had gone to Virginia City, New, and there died
Of an incurable disease. A few years ago, by
the death of relative, | came into possession
of what to man of my moderate desires, is an
ample fortune / desire, therefore, to make
restitution to the government for the amount of

came that Vesuvius had broken out in violent
eruption. With an American friend / hurried
through Savoy, Piedmont, Liguria Tuscany and
Rome, making Naples our objective point, and
had the pleasure of seeing an eruption or the
famous volcano, and to be the first native born
Indianapolitan to climb Vesuvius. And here
let me say that the first Indianapolitan to roach
the top of Mont Blanc was one of the sons Of
the late DR.. Mears. The eruption of 1850 was
exactly in the same place as that of May, 1883
only the one of thirty five years ago was more
destructive. A few days before I made the as
cent of Vesuvius in 1850 the believing central
crater sent up showers of stones. young
officer from an American man-ofwar, then
In port, climbed to the top of the mountain, and
could easily peer into the crater, as the lava
bursting out thousand feet below the summit
had somewhat eased this central chimney. But
as the officer was walking near the summit, a
shower of stones shot out of the mountain and
one falling upon the uplifted lin the process of

he bled TO death before the blood could be

the same place that of 1850, but with this diff
ference; the lava in 1885 burs: out little high

see two stream of bright lava. each third of

down in a southwesterly direction. l can not
convey the splendor of the view, for volcanic

scale that no words can adequately describe it.
Suffice to say we have been enjoying this specta-

Naples during the presence of the King and
Queen a sensation Of most novel kind Next

Women Clerks in Shoe Stores.


''The reason that 30 few women are employed
as clerks in retail shoe Stores said shoe mer
chant, lis that they will not, with any degree of
poteness try pair of shoes on a lady Gus
toner. Every lady who buys a pair of shoes
now desires them tried on, and custom within
the last few years imposes upon the Jerks the
task of kneelns down and fitting thel. ,the feet.
Male clerks do not mind it, but one woman never
likes to put a shoe on another. If they
do bring themselves to do it they exhibit such
utter repugnance to the customer that she
rarely comes back again. If she does, she will
not let female clerk wait upon her. ! known
some ladies who will wait an hour for a male
clerk TO become disengaged rather than have
one Of her own sex wait upon her. Yet keep
several women in my store to wait upon
a certain class who are exceedingly modest
and will not permit man to try a pair
of shoes on their feet The female clerks all
say they prefer waiting on men; that they
are not exacting and particular women, and
either take an article Immediately or refuse it.
On the contrary, a lady is very particular and
takes long time to decide upon what she desires
to purchase Nothing fiatters woman more
than to have polite clerk try on pair of shoes
and make some remark about the beautiful
shape of her feet A female clerk never in
dulges in such compliments to her own sex. My
experience is that men alone are best fitted to
sell ladies' shoes.

Too Late.

What silences We keep year after year,
With those who are most near to us and dear
We live beside each other day by day.
And speak of myriad things but seldom say
Il he full, sweet word that lies just in reach,
Beneath the commonplace of common speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach they go
These close familiar friends who loved so;
And, sitting in the shadow they have left,
Alone. with loneliness and sore bereft,
We think with vain regret of some foud word
That once we might have said and they have heard
For weak and poor the love that expressed
Now seems besides the vast, sweet unexpressed
And slight the deeds did, to those undone.
And small the service spent, to treasure
And undeserved the praise for word and deed
That should have overhowed the simple need.
This is the cruel cross of life to be
Full visioned only when the ministry
OF death has been fulfilled and in the place
Of some dear presence is but empty space.
What recollected services can then
Give consolation for the might have beene
