Graham c. Richards. wcll-lznown
Scotch -lrishman, prominent during the
late congress of his race. was Il few DAYS
ago the recipient Of one of the oldest
cpistles that probably ever passed
through the United States mails, SAYS
tho Pittsburgh Times. Mr.. Richards
lives on Watson street, near Tunnel.
and is clerk by vocation. During the
Scotch-Irish congress he made many.
friends from localities far distant, and
among these was Malcolm II. Mckenzie,
of Louisville, Ky.
These two gentlcmon had many agree
able conversations, and in the course of
one of these Mr. Mckenzie offered to
bet his Pittsburgh friend that Il common
postage stamp, properly directed, and
without any envelope appended, could
BIO sent through the mails to its destina-
ton. Nr. Richards accepted tho bet,
and rs no more was said on the subject
he forgot the whole transaction.
Thursday morning, however, the post
man left with many grins whathc called
a "letter" for Mr.. Richards Tho let
ter was nothing more than two-ccnt
postage stamp. On the guInmcd side
was written in tiny characters the ad-
dress, Graham C. Richards, Watson
street, Pittsburgh, Pa" Below came
the message: "All we'll. The bet is
mine. McKenzie."
This extraordinary communication
was hard to dcciphcr, rs some ruthless
Official had stamped a post-mari1 clear
over tho message.
more extended letter was SUISSE
qucntly received by Mr.. Richards from
tho cnterprising Louisvillian, telling
him to devote che money pending on the
bet to the interests OF the Scotch-.rish
