POSt-OffiCe Rnmances-

On one occasion a gentlemanly
looking person called and expressed a
fear that he had inclosed two letters
IN wrong envelopes, and that all his
prospects IN life depended on his hav-
ing his letters back and correcting the
mistake, inasmuch as they revealed
plans which he had adopted to save
two mercantile houses in the same
line OF business, whose interests
clashed at every point. A similar
blunder occurred in a more delicate
affair, when a young lady was most
urgent to have her letters returned
as she had accepted the wrong offer OF
marriage. The local postmaster was
unable TO resist her earnest entreat-
les, and thus prevented a painful ca
taStrOphe. But a whole romance
might be written on the following in
cldent. A young lady, who had been
engaged to prosperous young manu-
tacturer, was informed, a few days be
fore the time fixed for the marriage, that
the firm was insOlvent Not a mo-
ment was TO be lost, and a letter was
posted, breaking the engagement,
when, within two hours, it was dis
covered that the report was entirely
unfounded. The report continues
The daughter, with her parents,
rushed to the post-office, and no
words can describe the scene-the ap-
peals, the tears, the Wringlng Ofhands,
the united entreaties OF the family to
nave the fatal letter restored but
alas all was vain; the rule admitted
OF no exception

With Intent to Deceive.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer
Did you ever see anything like
that?" asked George w. Woodruff,
the whisky man, as he displayed what
a reporter supposed was a small-sized
EDITION OF the Bible.
II should say So" replied the re-
porter. knowledge OF the Bible is
my strong point"
But this is not a Bible See here, F"
and he turned up ore end OF the sup
posed Bible, where u pon close exami-
nation could be seen something which
looked much like the top of canteen.
The whole affair was earUhenware, hOl-
low, and was nothing more nor less
than a concern for holding whisky.
That canteen which looks so much
like a Bible is over 10 years old, and
was carried for years by one of the
most celebrated lecturers we ever had
in the West. The gentleman liked his
drink occasionally, but was often so
situated that he could not get any liq-
uor. OF course, no one could tell but
what it was a Bible, and he carried it
about from place to place while upon
his lecturing tours. 1t afterward fell
into the hands OF a man in this city.

purchased 1t from friend of his. .

A True Lover.

A Washington correspondent gives
the following as the origin OF a once
popular song:

No one to love, none to caress.

The author OF this song lives here in
Washington, and he boards at a hotel
within a square or so of the White
House. He Is no. a man OF perhaps
40, and he wrote the song many years
ago. He was ia owe with beautiful
girl and the day was fixed for their
marriage. In the interval between
the engagement and this day the war
broke out and he Young enlisted.
He was OIL the tieiu when the time APP

Washington in Il New Light.

From McMdSterS History. -
He Washington died in his 6Sth
year, and in the heydav OF his glory
and his fame. Time has since dealt
gently with his memory, and he has
come down to us as the greatest OF all
leaders and the most immaculate OF
all men. No other face Is so familiar
to us. His name Is written all over the
map ofour country. Wehavemade OF
his birthday a natiOnalfeast. Thee out
lines OF his biography are known to
every schOOlboy in the land. Yet his
true biography is still to be prepared
Gen. Washington Is known to Us, and
President Washington. But George
Washington Is an unknown man.
When at last he is set before us in his
habit as he lived, We shall read less of
the cherry tree and more of the man.
Naught surely that IS heroic Will be
omitted: but side by side with what is
heroic viii appear much that is COM
monplace. We shall behold the great
commander repairing defeat with
marvellous celebrity, healing the dissen-
slOnS OF his officers and calming the
passions OF his mutinOus troops. But
We shall also hear his oaths, and see
him in those terrible outbursts OF pas
sion to which Mr.. Jefferson has al
luded, and one of which Mr.. Lear has
described We shall see him refusing
TO be paid by Congress, yet exacting
from thefamiIy OF the poor mason the
shilling that was his due. We shall
know him as the cold and forbidding
character, with whom no feIlow-man
ever ventured to live on close and ia
niliar terms; We shall respect and
honor him for being, not the create
OF generals, nor the wisest OF states
men, not the most sanity cf his race,
but a man with many human frailties
and much common sense. who rose in
the fullness OF time to be the political

4 STRANGE STICIDE.

Chas. l.. Deem, a young Kentuckian,
from Louisville, committed suicide on
the premises of James Harmen, living

friends OF the lady. On the morning
OF the 10th. about ) O'Clock, Deem
awok ke the Harmen family by shouting
outside for Miss Pitman. Upon Mr..
Harmen going to the door, Deem drew

Indestructibility of Gold.
LSir Henry Vivian ]


Gold may be said to be everlasting,
indestructible. The pure acids have
no effect upon it. Air and water are
alike prohibited from working its de-
structIon; while to baSer metals they
are decay, to gold they are innocuous.
Bury 1t through long ages, and when
the rude tool OF the excavator again
brings it to light, while everything
around lt and originally associated
with it, has returned to dust from
which it sprang; while the delicate
form which It adorned has become a
powder so mpalpable as to be ina
preclable: while the strong bone OF the
mighty warrior crumbles as you gaze
upon 1t; while his trusty sword lies a
mass Of shale rust, the delicate tracery
in gold which adorned it, or the finely
wrought tiara which encircled the
lofty brow of the fair damsel is there
in its pristine beauty, perfect as when
1t left the WOrkman's hands, and be-
came the iOv of her feeting moments.
\ eS, days, years, centuries upon cen
turies have rolled by, mighty empires
have risen and fallen, dynasties that
dreamed their power was to be ever
lasting have passed away, armies have
marched, conquered and become
nerveless with decrepit old age; cities
teeming with population and COM
merce have become the dwelling places
OF the owl and the bat; the very pyra
mids themselves, raised in the pride
OF power, and destined to be forever,
have crumbled and are crumbling; and
yet that thin tilament OF gold has
stood unchanged through all these
mighty changes; it has withstood tri-
umphantly the destroying hand of
time; it is to-day what it was 5000
years ago. Surely it is a noble metal
worthy OF all admiration.

Two Chicago Thieves Secure "a Lare
Amount of Money in an AdroIt Way

Two Chicago Thieves Secure Large
Amount of Money in an AdroIt Way.
The most daring and adroitly exc
cuted robbery that has taken place in
Chicago in a good many years was
committed on the afternoon OF the
sth at 80 EIdridge Court, the residence
of Thos. Smith, the head draughtsman
in the employ OF the Dearborn foundry.
1t has been his practice for some time
past to entrust a large portion OF his
earnings with his wife. On the above
day when her husband went to work
she was left alone in the house. At 2
o clock two men who said they were
plumbers called and on the pretense
that they had been ordered to do
some repairs were admitted to the
kitchen. Here they attacked her and
after binding her hands and feet and
gagging her, robbed her Of over 81 900
which she had in a wallet in the bosom
OF her dress. While engaged IN this
work the door bell rang, but one OF
the men went up stairs and informed
the caller that Mrs. Smith was too
i'll to be seen. They then successfully
made their escape

IiNin0Too Fast.

"What a fool a man can be-" was
the closing exclamation OF solid busi-
ness man OF Lewiston, which the Jour
nal overhead as he entered a Lewiston
business office, a short time ago. The
gentleman had in his hand the top
part OF two insurance policies. The
insurance man says that for peculiar
blunder hat OF the pOlcy-hOlder was
the most curious IN his experience. He
had entered the Office halt an hour be-
fore In awhiteheat. Il want toknow.

every dollar invested in them Why,
sir, didn't you inform me that my pol
icies had expired, one in November
and one as far back as October? :?
That's a pretty how'd 'yo-do amt
t?" The insurance man says that he
took the policies and looked them
over. Then heeyed the business man.
There was no gIeam OF insanity in the
latter's eye. He looked rational,
calm, but angry. One OF the policies
read: ''Policy expires in October,
1885" The other read: POLICY ex-
pres in November, 1885" He read
them off to his caller, but the latter
never smiled. He only said: Eyes,
sir; just as told YOU" The peculiar
phase OF the blunder seems 20 be in
the fact that the gentlemen could on
ly, with the greatest difficulty and af-
ter reference to several diaries
and calendars, be induced to under
stand that 1885 was not a thing OF
the past. and that October, 1885, was
next October and not last October
