A STAMP ON A LETTER,
The Bitter Curse of the Postoffice CIel
Upon ii Enemy.

u he DitteT curse OF inc fOstOmce Clerk
Upon Enemy.
"Spat, spat, spatp with an effective
regularity descended the stamp in the
hands of the postollice clerk. Upon the
right-hand upper corner of each letter it
fell, and with the impact each time two
cents worth of postage was destroyed
permanently. 1t nattered not whether the
"spat". fell on one Of the new sickly red
stamps or one of the old sickly green
variety, the future usefulness Of either was
done away with. All at once the clerk
raused. AS the letters shifted under his
dett fingers he noted one-a delicate, per-
fumed note it CHANGED to be-the upper
Iight-hand corner of which bore no evidence
OF dealing between the writer and the Gov
eminent. lie lifted it clear from the letters
about 1t and saw what the matter was. The
stamp had been affixed on the upper left
hand corner. 1t was a little feminine
fancy, that was all, but to deface the stamp
on that one letter had occupied more time
OF one man than had the manipulation of
the thirty letters preceding it.
The postoffice clerk, man of broad fore
head and evident Intellect drew himself to
his full height and raised one hand. Then,
solemnly, he launched the curse of the
laborer against the woman who stamps
ner letters on the upper left-hand corner.
May all evils most dreaded of women
come upon her." he thundered "May her
tight shoes pinch her till her feet become
deformed; may every breeze which fans
her cheek produce freckle; may her best
friend give away her secrets may the man
she most affects become smitten Of another;
may she have hang-nails; may her hair
come out; may her teeth turn yellow; NAV
she want till she calls like the horse-leechs

Then YEARLY turned to his work again
the postoffice clerk. and the "spat, spat,
spat" of the STAN ping was resumed with a
dull monotony, but the thoughts of the man
were hot and burning.-PortlandO regonian,

Mrs. General Bicknell at their head, reached
this city from Nevada. They came here
for the purpose of going into orange culture
on large scale. They represent quite
large sum of money, and are able to take
care Of themselves, as the following story
will show:
Soon after their arrival here they heard
OF tract of land on the Surf line of the

chase il at the rate of 500 an acre. Just
before the trade was completed they learned
that the land has been selling for S25 an
acre, and can be had at that price now. The
ladies became quite indignant, and declared
that they would not touch the land at any
price. They are now looking for another
location, and will steer clear of land that Is
increasing so rapidly in value.-Los An

BERNER'S DEATH.
The Reticent Saloon Man Cen.
sured-D0ctOrs Quarrel.

Coroner Eaton held an inquest yesterday
on the body of Gustave Berner, the shoe
maker who was killed recently outside
Horstman's saloon, corner of Thirty-irst
ana Mission streets, it is said, by Michael
Dolan and William Sullivan. Detective
Robert Hogan's story was made stronger
by the evidence. Berner went to the saloon
for beer, and, after leaving the place. was
struck on the head by Sullivan. He went
home, took sick and died shortly afterward.
Detective Hogan was given the case for in
vestigation and placed the accused young
men under arrest
The following verdict was returned:
We, the jury, find that Gustav Berner came to
his death ON The night of April 2Stn, from a blow
on the head with some hard substance, gwen by
the hands of parties unknown 10 us; and we
furthermore censuie Henry HOrstman for keep
ing back testimony believed 10 BIZ beneficial TO
the CorOners jury.
Although DR.. Estes, the Coroner's assist
ant, who made the autopsy, gave as the
cause OF death meningitis, from fracture of
the skull, DR.. b. II. Baumelster, who
attended Berner and signed the death GER
tihcate, firmly maintained yesterday that
the man died from pneumonia. Baumeister
furthermore gave out at the Morgue that
the action of the Coroner's assistant was
an attempt to injure his reputation. He
was satisfied that Berner suffered from
pneumonia.
The result Of the autopsy was then stated
by DR.. Estes. A fracture, which could be
felt without removing the scalp, was found
in the deceased's head. The lungs were
congested, which was undoubtedly caused
from meningitis through failure of the
heart.
MAY 1 be permitted to ask the doctor
some questions said Baumeister to the
Coroner.

TIE LEAF OF WOODRUFF.

49, FOUND leaf of woodruff in a book.
Gone its scent and lost Its pristine
Glory;
- Each slender bladelet wore dingy look,
And all was blanched and hoary.
And yet this withered leaf a spell possessed,
which worked upon me in mysterious measure.
And sent old memories thronging through my breast
or mingled pain and pleasure;
OF chill dhood's days that knew no thought OF care
OF hours that passed wings OF rainbow feetnesS,
OF odors floating on the wanton air,
Sad from their very sweetness;
OF woods that wore garb OF summer green,
or knee-deep ferns, and hooks OF shady stiffness;
OF streams that glimmered in the full moons sheen,
And mirrored back its fulness;
or lazy basklngs the lone hillside
In the fierce glow OF Julys sultry weather:
or twilight wanderings where the enamored tide
Crept up TO kiss the heather;
or voices still beneath the church-yard sod.
Bright eyes that glistened from behind long
Iashes;
Warm beauty early given back to God;
Red lips that now are ashes!
