Several hundred of them are robbed

with 100000 2-cent stamps and 100000

of the booty was recovered. All post

now reduced to a pulp, like the redeem

burned, but the person in charge of the

emolument. Because the postoffice de-
partment has been unable to procure
an indeEble ink for cancellation. some
stamps are doubtless washed and re-
used but not many.
Another fashion in which the treas

he removes it intact and returns it to
the distiller to be placed upon another

'In July Il, 1892, Senator Sherman
introduced a bill in the serate which
is practically identical with the bin
fathered at this session by Mr.. Wilson.
OF course Senator Sherman's bill was
not democratic measure. He has not
been in the habit of attempting to car
ry out democratic policies I am now
trying to find out just when it did be
come a democratic measure and bind
ing on democratic conscience. 1t was
supported in the house by large
majority of the republicans, and by
comparatively small majority of the

A WIFE'S INDEPENDENCE.
More 4 Concession of a Husband than a
Matter of Legality.

From Vogue: Although, as a rule,
[ do not take much interest in legal
matters, yet I have been pleased by
the decision which has just been reach
ed by the supreme court Of appeals
here to the effect that a husband is
not entitled to use his marital authority
to open the letters addressed to his
wife, or those written by her to her
friends.
This is IL verdict which will give great
satisfaction to every one Of our sex
in this country. But I fear that it will
be a satisfaction of a moral rather
than practical character, and | doubt
whether the law, as now interpreted,
will be effective in the protection of
our confidentia correspondence from
the prying curiosity of those who are
never tired Of reminding us that we
have promised obedience to them.
Men of breeding, high principle and
refinement do not require any duly
codified law to prevent their endeavor
o secure possession of any little secret
that we may have by the dishonrable
means of breaking the seal of our
private correspondence. They would no
ffore dream of doing such a thing than
they would of bursting in the door
of our dressing room when it happened
to be bolted while we are engaged in
the SONS de la toilette.
On the other hand, a man who is
coarse natured and unprincipled enough
to open cur letters in our absence is
not likely to be prevented from so doing
by any Logan considerations, especially
! when he has hopes of being able to
! find in the letter some secret which
will place either his wife or his friend,
perhaps both, 1T his mercy.
| The decision of the court of appeals
is, therefore, to us a satisfaction pure
I ly of a theoretical and moral charac-
ter, and constitutes for the first time
Il legal recognition of our preroga tive
to have secrets which our husbands,
Notwithstanding all their martial au-
thority, are not entitled to know.

IT PROVED TO BE SERIOUS FUN.

One evening last week Miss Elizabeth
Clark of Newport News, Va, attended
a social gathering at the house OF Df-
Taylor Of Hampton Roads. Among the
guests was a justice Of the peace named
Haskins. During the evening the con
versation turned upon the duties OF
Justice Haskins, and some one suggest
ed that he try his hand in tying the
nuptial knot. Miss Clark and DIR. Tay-
lor agreed to play the parts Of bride
and bridegroom, and Justice Haskins,
after asking the usual questions, which
were properly answered, pronounced
the couple man and wife. The affair
was looked on as a mere incident Of
the evenings entertainment until today,
when it was learned that it was in
all respects a perfectly valid marriage
under the laws of Virginia. The stu
alton is further complicated by the TACT,
as alleged, that Miss Clark is engaged
to be married to another, and that the
affair will have to be postponed unuf
after she can be divorced from Dr.
Taylor.-New York Tribune.
