THE ROMANCE OF A LETTER.
4 Pleasing Narrative of the Strange Chance
that Reunited Two Loves.

HARRISBURG, Pa, August 15.-
About year ago young woman IN
Chicago, to whom Henry Reightmeyer'
chief clerk of hotel in Lewisburg, was
engaged, failed to send him reply to
his last letter, and he was piqued atthe
neclect and did not write for an eXpla-
nation. AS time went on and he
received no word from her, he became
convinced that she had Tilted him for
some one else, and he gave herup. The
young woman was employed in large
bookbindery in Chicago. Two weeks
ago young Reightmeyer received a let
ter addressed to him in the well-known
penmanship of his late sweetheart, ana
another one in strange chirogTaphy,
both letters bearing the postmark OF
town in Maine. He opened the glrls
letter and found that it was dated IN
Chicago, nearly year ago, and was
the answer that had never come to his
letter. The other letter was from a
traveller on Maine railroad, who said
he had purchased Chicago magazine
on the train on the day his letter was
dated. On looking over the magazine
he found between thepages letter held
fast in the close binding. 1t was ad-
dressed to Henry Reightmeyer, Lewis
burg, Pa, and was stamped, but bore
no postmark. The traveller had mailed
if to the address at the first town he
came to, and wrote the explanation OF
its discovery.
Reightmeye wrote at once to the
Chicago girl, telling her the story OF
her letter. She replied, and the only
explanation she could give was that
she had placed the letter under some
loose sheets of the magazine she was
folding until she could mail it, and had
then forgotten that she had not mailed
it. The letter had been folded ana
bound within the sheets without dis
covcIy. Not receiving any reply, she,
too, had been seized with jealous
doubts, and was too proud to write
again. The correspondence and engage
ment have been renewed.

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS MISSING.
1t Left Portland, Oregon, in a Mail Pouch,
but Failed to Reach New York.

New YORK, August 23.-Among the
pouches Of registered mail matter de-
livered at the postot1lce in this city on
Friday night last was one pouch from
Portland, Oregon. According to the
bill forwarded with the pouch it should
have contained fifty registered pack
ages. When the clerks who were at
work opening packages counted them
up they found only forty-nine. The
fact was at once reported to the assist
ant superintendent IN charge of the
office, who Immediately gave orders
that no one should leave the room and
then sent for Superintendent Philips,
who was at his home in Brooklyn.
Superintendent Philips hurried over
to the postohice and directed every
man in the room at the time the pouch
was opened should be thoroughly
searched. This was done, and the room
was also carefully searched in every
part without discovering the missing
package which contained $4,000, and
vas billed to the Chemical National
Bank of this city.
Postmaster-General Dickinson was
notified of the loss of the package and
gave instructions to have a thorough
investigation made Since Saturday
detectives of the postoffice department
have been engaged il. . a diligent effort
to find out where the missing package
was distracted, but thus far nothing
has been learned.
1t was only about year ago that a
package containing $4,000 was abb
stracted from a registered mail pouch
by clerk at the New York postoffice.
This package was also consigned from
Portland, Ore, to the Chemical Ma
tional Bank, Of this city. The thief
had concealed the package, but was
detected and convicted, and is now
serving sentence in prison.

4 SPREAD FOR CLEVELAND.
Contest at a Fair and Il Letter From the
President to the Fair Donor.

CANAJoAHRIE, \. y, August L.
At an engine company fair in Sharon
Springs recently a bedspreadwas voted
for as between Cleveland and Harrison.
Miss Ola Goons, daughter of Assembly,
man Coons, solicited ten cent votes for
Cleveland and obtained S72 for Cleve-
land, while Harrison's girl got only
32S. Miss .Coons forwarded the spread
to the President, receiving this answer,
in his own handwriting, this afternoon.
"F,XECUTIvE MANSION, !
WASHINGTON, August ID, 1888.
My DEAR Miss CCoNs:-
Il have received the beautiful spread
which YOU so nobly won for me at the
fair recently held by the Chemical
Engine Company and am very much
ol- ..sed with this first result ofthe cam
paign. I think, from what l know OF
the political sentiments of old Schoha-
rie, 1 had at the beginning the advan-
tare in the contest. | thank you for
YOUR efforts in my behalf and am glad
that the cause to which the proceeds OF
the election were devoted received such
g substantial benefit. Ishall preserve
the spread carefully, whether it proves
to be the only fruit I shall gather from
the campaign or not. This much is
secured. Yours, very truly,
"GROVER CLEVELAND"
Miss Coons is the envy Of all the

board or tray, and as it is shaken rap
idly by the counter the pieces settle
down into the spaces between the
ridges.
All these spaces being filled, the sur
plus coin is brushed back into the re-
ceiver, and the counter has exactly
1,250 silver dimes, or S125, on the tray,
which number is required to fill the
spaces. The tray is then emptied into
boxes and the money is ready for ship
ment. The dime does not pass through
the weiyher's hands, as does the coin
of Il larger denomination. One and
onc-haif grains is allowed for varia-
ton, or tolerance" in all silver coins
from 4 dollar down, and the deviation
from the standard in the case of the
ten cent pieces is so trifling that the
trouble and expense ofweighing coins
of this denomination is dispensed with.

The new number Of the Eclectic
Magazine now before us is noticeable
among the magazines of the month for
it's variety and interest. Emile de
Laveleye opens with discussion Of
1.-THE Future of Religion" which is a
suggestive contribution to a subject
which so largely occupies controversial
thought. "In Coming Tower" is the
title of an article foreeasting the details
of the terrible struggle which will take
place, when two great ironclads of the
most improved modern type meet in a
sea-duel. Henri Rochefort discusses
the Boulangist movement from the
friendly radical standpoint. One ofthe
most interesting papers of the number
is by Frances Power Cobbe, 1.-THE
Scientific Spirit of the Age" and it de-
plores and castigates the materialistlc
influence of scientific progress. II. NJ.
Hozier finds England's Real Peril to be
the great competition in trade and
commerce pushed by other nations.
One of the most suggestive contribu-
tions is the account Of the Cooperative
Congress in England, which throws
light on the only practicable solution to
the labor question. There is capital
short story, "a Fortune in Fort
night" by Jessie Mcleod, and the first
installment of a. powerful novelette,,
which is to run through four numbers,
"Orthodox," a story Of Polish life, by
Emil Franzos.

Dimes, How Counted and Made.
IAnon.l

The United States Mint IN San
Francisco is said to be the largest of the
kind in the world. Just at the present
time there is a lively demand for sill
yer dimes, and two of the money presses
have been for some time rnnning eN-
clusively on this coin. The demand Is
so great that these machines are not
even stopped on Sunday. The process
of dime making is an interesting one.
The silver bullion is first melted and
run into two pound bars. These in
turn are run through immense rollers
and flattened out to the thickness of
the coin. These silver strips are then
passed through machine, which cuts
them into proper size for the presses,
the strips first having been treated with
kind of tallow to prevent their being
scratched i'll their passage through the
cutters. The silver pieces are then put
into the. feeder Of the printing presses,
and are fed to the die by automatic
machinery at the rate ofl0O per min
ute, $4,000 dimes being turned out IN
regular working day Of twelve hours.
AS the smooth pieces are pressed be
tween the ponderous printing dies,
they receive the lettered and figured
impression in a manner similar to that
of paper pressed upon a form OF
type; at the same time the piece is eX-
pond in a Slight degree, aud the small
!, corrugations ale cut in its rim. The
machine drops the completed coin into
$. a: receiver, and it is ready for the
I2ter's hands. The instrument used

leaders and priests for some weeks
past, and rumors of a collision with
democratic wire puller are now
confirmed by which the mormon vote
is to be secured for his personal adj
vancement, even at the sacrifice of
party principle and at the sacrifice of
all the other democratic party leaders
in the nominating convention who
may be aspirants. The scheme has
been laid very deep-so deep and o

humiliation, if not disgrace. If the
