Remarkable Loss OF Memory.

A remarkable case OF Loss of mem
DRY occurred in London, England, re-
Gently. 1t appears that an old GEN
tleman, well dressed and apparently
we'll to do, was found by the police
wandering in Moorfelds. He was taken
to the nearest police station, but, be-
ing unable to give any satisfactory ac-
count Of himself, he was conveyed to
Guys hospital. There it was found
that he was suffering from loss d OF
memory and ; despite every device
adopted nothing could be, CLEANED as
to his identity. Upon his clothes be
ing searched an adSress, Spring Bank.
Hull was found upon him, and as the,
result of telegram dispatched by the
police to that address twas ascer-
tanned that the old gent eman was Mr.
George Patchett,. who lived at the adj
dress given. He had been missed from
Hull for some days, but how and WhenE
he got to London neither his friends)
nor Mr.. Patchett could say.

KEYLESS LOCK.
Is the Latest Innovation Proposed for
Postof1ice Boxes.

Is the Latest Innovation Proposed for
Postofice Boxes.
Washington Times: There is more
than 100000 Of the peoples money
locked up in postofice keys, each and
every keyholder being required to put
up with the postmaster a deposit for
his key, the amount deposited being re-
turned when the box is given up and
rent paid. Postmasters are required
to keep strict account Of the key de-
posit fund, while the postofflce depart
ment here has a regular division set
apart for keeping this account. AS
postal official puts it, there is a great
deal of trouble and no money in the
transactions, and the final outcome Of
the trial of the keyless locks which are
to be tried in the principal Offices Of
the country is eagerly looked for. The
department has long wanted a key
less lock, but none of the lock inven-
tions until the present was regarded
as in any way calculated to prove ac-
ceptable. Contracts have been made
for & supply of the new locks, which
will first be tried in New York, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and St.
Louis, as the largest and most impor-
tant Offices, and then in st. Paul, Mimi;
Cleveland, Ohio; Hartford, Conn;
Madison, Wis, and Rockford, III.
These offices will be fitted out as soon
as the factory can complete the max
ing OF the boxes. If they prove in every
way satisfactory to the department and
to the patrons they will be placed in
ices throughout the country, but not
