The Anonymous Letter.

The Chicago Post has the following
which in general way ought to be
food for reflection for the Union and
some of the brave-hearted correspon-
dents who undertake to fight its bat
ties for it, when occasion NAV re
quire:
The Baptists of the town of Mata-
wan. which is in the county of Mon
mouth, in the state of New jersey.
are sensible folk. They received an
anonymous letter Enclosing charges
against their pastor. They tore up
the letter and held meeting ut
which the pastors salary was in
creased.
Good for the Baptists. The man
who will write an ANONYMOUS perso-
nal. letter save to charity fund
would steal halo. He is ALWAYS a
coward and a liar and frequently he
is fool. He never succeeds in his
purpose except when his letters are
addressed to his kind.

train carrying Kelly's army to the

have the honor of entertaining in the
near future. He says:

trious fellow, and when work became
slow there last fall. he moved to st.
Louis. but could not find work, and
during the winter has subsisted on
money derived from little jobs about
the city. He seemed to take to
heart greatly his enforced idleness.
and of late has brooded over il n
great deal. and about two weeks ago.
he became violently insane. and was
ihcarcerated in the insane ward in
the st. Louis jail.
Desperate Suicile.
On Monday, April 9, the attennant
brought him his breakfast, and Hill
den, while the attendants back was
turned, secured 4 galvanized tin cup
and secreted il. The attendant left.
and Hidden then drew forth the cup.
and breaking it, cut his throat with
the rough edge.
Hidden was 81 years OF age, and
was the father of two children, who
are left with his bereaved wife to
