AFTER TEN YEARS.
Strange Disappearance Of an Ir..erest-
ing Letter.
(LynchburE News.)

(Lynchburg News.)
A few days ago, NIr. E. b. Huff, ware
house manager at the freight depot of
the Southern railroad. received a letter
which was mailed for him ten years
ago. 1t was first put into the post
office at Meadow Dale, Va. on Septem-
Der 10Th 1890. The missive did not go
to the dead letter office at Washington,
for in that case it would have been
opened; but where it made It's long
sojourn has not yet been ascertained,
and in all probability never will be.
Judging by the appearance of the en-
velope, it was receive at Jackson, Ky,
the place to which it was directed, on
September %. 1890. Another address
Miller's Creek, is observable on the
cover, and 1t looks as if that Is the
point where it fingered so long.
The letter was written to MIR. Huff by
one of his cousins, and is in part as fol-
lows:
well Emmett. 1 think I can find a
girl for you. There are two young
ladies at Afr.--s, who are said to
six iifes4safsa- dollars, Viii
not have to wait until they are OF age
to get the money. Emmett. I can
intended little cousin that she in indeed
very sweet little thing and doubtless
has very many accomplishments as
we'll as being very wealthy, but my
advice to you is this: If you intend to
marry. come back to Virginia, and
among the numberless true hearted
girls. take your choice, and you will
have n wife who will love you as none
other than a Virginian can love. one
who VIII worship you with her whole
heart and soul. Then as you Journey
down the stream of life you can safely
repeat the old adage: IT have a friend
that sticketh closer than brother
and 1t will then matter little about the
money"
The young lady to which the Letter
particularly referred had arrived in the
realms of wedlock many long years be-
fore Mr.. Huff received the communica-
ton. and consequently he could not
take advantage of the kind advice.
Not only was she married when the let
ter came to hand. but she was the
proud mother OF three children.

the marine chronometer. The advant-
age OF the new escapements is that It
gives impulse at the line of the centre
without drop or engaging friction, and
also at the neutral point of the balance
spring, q point which the matchmaker
will appreciate. Impulse before the
line Of centres and neutral point dis
tributes and accelerates the balance as
the force of the handspring is added to
the impulse In the lever watch. Those
who have examined the new escape
ment say 1t Is an ideal one. with the
soft, clean and distinctly musical beat
Springers and timers are just begin

All the faults of all old systems are
said to be fully overcome in the new
escaDements, which are the only in

1t is said that the fall of an apple
suggested to Sir Isaac Newton the
theory Of gravltation. ~ recent Chica-
go inventor declares that his success
In sharpening u dull razor, the edge Of
which had become crystallized by use,
suggests to him the possibility OF re-
storing to nature iron and steel which
has become crystallized by long use
due to vibration. The capitalization
Of iron and steel has certainly been a
bugbear to manufacturers, engineers
and others ever since these products
were used. 1t will be revolution
worth recording il Il system and meth
cd can be found whereby the evil of
crysta llization can BE overcome and
material restored to its original condi-
ton. The method is to place the ma
terial to be crystallized in soleroid
and pass an electric current through
1t. The Importance OF this discovery
cannot be over-estimated.
