HE CHANGED his MIND.

A number of Wall street men were
talking yesterday about the unusual cir
cumstances surrounding the reinstate-
ment of s. V. White as a member of the
Stock Exchange in good standing. His
creditors compounded with him on the
remarkable terms that he was to pay
them in full as soon as he was able.
Just think" said one, "Of what you
or | could do with such Il magnificent
credit as that"
"Who would have thought that SO
many men could be found in Wall street
VINO believe any other man perfectly
?" said another.
The Deacon as they call him. said
a third, must be the noblest work of
God"
And the rarest," echoed a sceptic.
'Nonesnse," exclaimed anoth er.
There are three or four Others like him.
He pay his creditors, too, you'll see, if
he lives. | liked his letter of thanks to
them, too. 1t has manly tone. L hope
so to conduct my affairs, it said, that
when | come to pay the last debt of ma
ture it will be the only debt unpaid"
His sentiments remind me, by way of
contrast, of a riend of mine" said the
sceptic, who once fell into the depths
of mental detection so far that in his de-
spair he decided to commit suicide. He
bought some poison, hired a room in an
obscure hotel, wrote farewell letter to
his wife, another to the Coroner, poured
out the poison and was just going to
drink it, when it struck him that he did
not owe a cent to anybody.
ITO throw away such an opportunity
as this, to contract debts that his suicide
would etfectually shield him from hav-
ing to pay. appeared to him too foolish
for anything. He decided to postpone
death till he could get into position to
cheat a few creditors by it, Putting
away the poison, he went out to borrow
all he could, in the interval he changed
his mind and is very much alive to this
day. Nee York Tribune

The attack on Gen. Alger by the New
York Sun as a man absent from his com.
mand without leave and, in effect, dis
hOnorably discharged in consequence,
appears to be completely answered. The
truth seems to be that because of the
failure of the surgeon to forward the
proper papers or from some other rea-
son with which Gen. Alger had nothing
to do; a mistake was made and record
left which did the Michigan man injus-
tice. Gen. Alger's statement of the
Iacvs is as ioiiVws:
On August 25th, 1864, at Shepards-
town, Va, on the Potomac, where we
had engaged the enemy and were driven
across the river by superior force, l was
ordered to cover the crossing with my
regiment, Gen. Custer having crossed at
the head of the brigade. l effected the
crossing and was the last man to ford the
river. For several days l had been i'll
but on duty. l went into camp that
night, and not being able TO march the
next morning, was sent with Others who
were sick to hospital at Annapolis, Nd.
After remaining there few days and re-
covering sufficiently to be around the
camp, was detailed on court martial at
Washington, where reported and served
little time and resigned as / was not
able to enter the field and did not like
cOurt-martial service.
Some evidence tending to substantiate
this has already been printed and there
is no chance to doubt the truth of the
statement The SUMS move was ma
licious and results in an advertisement
for that paper which can hardly do it
much good.

THE LETTER THAT NEVER CAME.

From the report of the Postmaster
General lately issued, we present oui
readers a few facts regarding the 'letters
that never came" and which cannot fai

have possibly poured out Walls of wrath
on the innocent head of the postal clerk
The dead letter Office has handled m ore
than 6,SO0,0O0 pieces of missent, misdI-
rected, not directed or not called for,
mail matter during the past year. Many
OF these were opened and sent back and
10000 of them that were opened con-
tanned money TO the amount of $4,000
and checks, orders and commercial pa
per valued at over S1,S00,000. Sixty-six
thousand of these letters were directed
rightly and forwarded, but 10, 900 of these
failed to be delivered and were returned.
FOrty-three thousand of them were adj
dressed to fictitious addresses, mostly the
department reports ito green goods
swindlers" who refuse to take mail for
fear of discovery and 200 were let
tiers held for postage. Eighty thousand
parcels were received at the dead letter
office containing S4S,000 of which $685.

port, "cOmes from the dupes of the
green goods swindlers and are sent
under fictitious Names" Forty-one
thousand of the letters sent had photo
graphs and only 10000 could be return
ed leaving II 900 broken hearts. In adj
dition to the report the Postmaster-G GEN
eral states that of the nearly 100000
letters that went wrong, nine out of
every ten are owing to the carelessness
of the sender and, as has been stated
time out of mind by every newspaper in
the land, the address of the sender
printed either on the letter head or the
envelope would insure a safe return of
the letter if it failed of delivery.

MASSACHUSETTS, FIGURES.

Massachusetts makes little distur-
bance over her educational virtues, but
some people seem to think that she is
the one State whose rivalry is most to be
feared. 1t is noticeable that the figures
frequently seem to be with her on edu-
cational subjects. Here are a few facts:
In Massachusetts % per cent. of the
population is in cities and towns with
public high schools, a fact not approach
ed by any other State; forty towns sup
port high schools that are not required
to do so by law, fact not approached
by any other State, practically every city
and town in the commonwealth raises
very much more money for school pur-
poses than is required by law, fact that
will give universal surprise outside of
New England; 80 per cent. of the popu-
lation is under local school supervision
without any law requiring it, fact un-
approached by any other State. 0j per
cent. of the pupils are in cities or towns
with good public libraries, though no
law requires such libraries, a fact unap-
preached by any other SUate.-Ne,c

Serious Accident

1 On Tuesday afternoon about two
o'clock Mr.. Lloyd Chambers who
has the contract of building the
Foundation of the new Lutheran
church, met with very serious ac-
cident.
Mr.. Chambers and his force of
men, numbering six or eight, were
qnarrying rock on the Sincell place
about two miles south of town when
his hammer struck very heavy
sharp pointed steel chisel that was
lying on a rock elevated about
eight inches above the one he was
working on. The chisel was pro
lecting about two inches over the
edge of the stone, and when he
struck it, it whirled with lightning
rapidity and the sharp end pune,
tured his forehead above the right
eve. The steel came with such
force as to penetrate the skull and
Craze the brain.
AS soon as possible Mr.. Cham.
bers was conveyed to town in an am
bulance and taken to DR.. Henry
McComas' Office when an examina-
ton was made and medical aid rem
dered. The examination of the
wound disclosed the fact tina. the
skull was broken and three pieces
were removed, the wound dressed
and everything done to case his
pain. About six o'clock Mr.. Cham
'oers was conveyed to his house
where he is getting along very
nicely.
There is no fear entertained by
the physicians of the accident prov
ing fatal.
