An Ingenious Letter nox.

The box is of cast iron, and similar
in general appearance to the one now
in use. It is divided into two com
partments, an upper one for newspa-
pers and another for letters. The mail
is removed by turning a key, which
causes the bottom of the box TO drop,
depositing all the contents in the car
rier's bag hung on a hook underneath.
The carrier docs not handle the mail
at any time. When the box is un-
locked n bell rings that can be heard a
block, and an ingenious arrangement
of indicators designates the time of the
next collection.
The box is a sort of mute detective.
If the 8 o'clock indicator appears on
the box at 3 80 it is at once evident that
the carrier is not attending to business.
If that gentleman finds a 3 80 indicator
when he visits the box at 8, it is evil
dent somebody has been attending to
it for him. The box, once opened in
any way by a thief, must be opened
and shut seventy-four times, which
would not allow him to escape detec-
ton.
Aseach box is numbered, any irregu-
larity can be- promptly reported. The
letter slots ON the sides are arranged
with u metal lip ON the inside that pre-
cludes all tampering with the contents
by fingers or wires. There are several
other novel features, and the box is
altogether an ingenious and practical
contrivance Chicago Tribune.

A Story of the oreat Duke.

II may be of interest TO some of
your readers TO hear a characteristic
story of the great duke, which was
told me by n gentleman principally
concerned in tho affair.
Tho Duke of Wellington at one pc
riod of his life was rather fond of tell
ing a certain pig sticking story, and
persons who knew of this weakness
used 10 lead the conversation SO that
the great man might have an oppor-
tunity of relating his favorite anec-
dote. But at length he became suspi-
cious, md any allusion TO the subject
made him extremely angry. About
this time-nearly sixty years ago-the
duke vas staying at Belvoir. One of
the visitors al the castle had never
heard anything about the pig sticking
adventure, and was easily persuaded
that the duke would be pleased if he
were asked to tell his famous story.
Accordingly one morning after break
fast in the long gallery, when seated
not far from the duke, the gentleman
vcnturcd to tell his grace how much
he should like to hear some of his ex-
p%eriences of Indian sport. At first the
duke was inclined to be seriously of
Tended, but looking round and discov-
ering from the faces of the company
that the inquirer had been prompted,
and that the request was made in per-
feet good faith, he quietly got up and,
drawing his arm through the gentle
mans, said; II shall be delighted to
tell you all you want TO know, but let
us come to the end of the gallery,
where we can talk quietly" 4 pleas
ant half hours conversation ensued,
and it was not till some hours later
that the intended victim learned what
n triumph he had achieved over the
practical iokers, and what n quiet re-
buko had been administered to them.

AboIIsl,ing n Nuisance.

The railroads of Germany are under
the control Of the government, and it
seems that the practice of giving and
accepting gratuities has led to so nan
abuses that 1t has been determined to
put n stop to it. The royal railway ad-
ministration has accordingly notified all
employees that they will not be allowed
10 accept the smallest gratuity or favor
of any description upon penalty Of sum-
mary dismissal Prosecution is also
threatened against those who may offer
gratuities to railway employees. A long
suffering travelling public will rise up
and call the government blessed for this
putting ON end to one of the most un-
pleasant features of continental travel.

THAT WINDOWS silver policy is to be
forced on the country if possible is made
decidedly evident by the views of one of
hiS subordinates as they appear in our
Washington dispatches of this morning.
1t is an insidious plan to bring silver coin
into disrepute under the guise of q
friendly interest in the metal. President
Harrison's message leaves no room for
doubt as to his real views on silver. He
is against it in all forms. So is Window
at heart. and so is all this Administration
1t is Wall-street programme to the core.
Windom's plan is radically unconstitu-
tioual, but that little drawback has never
given any serious trouble to the genuine
Republican of post-bsllum days. The
founders of the party and the leaders of
it ia it's early days were very often
guided by the Constitution. The later
directors of the party in it's radical
schemes have found that instrument q
thorn in their sides, and as result have
no respect for it. Still the Democrats in
the two Houses of Congress will prob
ably find sufficient support among West
ern Republicans to not only maintain
silver in its present status, but even to
force some further recognition of it's
rights.

FIRED The BUILDING.
A Sensational kumOr COncernfn,
the Nlinne neapOI1s Fire.

ST. LOUIS, December 8.-A special to
the Republic from st. Paul says: Charles
S. Ostrom, until last Friday night cashier
and bookkeeper Of the Minneapolis de.
partment OF the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
is suspected of having started the fire
which consumed the Minneapolis Tritu
building the night of November 3Oth,
and in which seven men lost their lives.
He was charged on Friday night with
having stolen $4,000 Of the Pioneer
Press funds, and placed under ar
rest. He admitted his guilt, and
desired to do all be could to help the
employers straighten out the books.
The terrible rumor was soon abroad that
Ostrom fred the Tribune building to hide
the evidence of his guilt. He was seen
in the Jail and strenuonsly denied the
story. He evinced much emotion, and
said he was quite sure he could establish
an alibi. Ostrom's downfall ia due to
gambling and is q great surprise to all
his friends. He has bean married about
three months.
