But It may *eem strange, and W Indeed one of the most inexplicable thing· in human hi«torv, that men have been Induced by religious exhortation* and other mean* of persuasion to sign their own death war rant· by conf«»«nlnf crime* actually never rommitt**!. Such In England waa the L-tee with John IVrry, executed near [Tampden In 1661, with hi· mother and brother, for murdering William Harrison, rte ward for Lady Campden. The teetl inonv against them waa chiefly the con fession of John Perry himself, but, to the sstoni«hment of all, Harriion, who hid t»een killed and carried off, returned two year* after the execution. In 1H1S a man named Kn««ell Colvln, living at Manchester, Vt., disappeared, »nd «u«picions of foul play were enter tained. Public opinion attributed hi· murder to Stephen and Jeaae Boom. *till, a· there wan no definite ground on which to arre*t them, the excitement grndually drew away. In Dily, however, Mr Boom dreamed that be had been murdered by two men whom he flxed upon a» hi* nephew·, Stephen and Je««e. The ghost of the murdered man even ipeclfled the place of the murder, and the jld cellar hole where the mangled body find been thrust. Here a knife and hut ion· were found, which were Identified belonging to Colvln. On this the men were arrested. Stephen and Colvln had quarreled ju*t before the dluppearance of he Utter, and Stephen had b«en eeen to itrike him with a club and knock him lown. In a «hort time Jesse confessed that ie and Stephen, with their father, after Stephen knocked him down, had carried lira to the cellar and cut hit throat with ι jack-knife. He further stated that the lext vear they made away with most of he bones of their victim. Stephen, after ι time, admitted the truth of Jesse's .*onfe*«lon. On this they were convicted »nd sentenced to be hanged on the 2Sth »f January, IS*). They applied for com nutation of the sentence, and, aa some jelleved their innocence, advertisements aere inserted in various papers for Col fin. Not long afterward a letter ap teared in the New York Evening Post, tlgned by a Mr. Chad wick, and dated 1 Jhrewaburv, X J., I>ec 6, 1S19. stating j hat a slightlv deranged man named lwii.*ell ΓοΙνΙη had been there Ave vear· I •Η-fore. Tlil« wa» generally looked upon f ι« κ ho,χ. hut J* me· Whelplev of Sew k'o'k, ho knew Col vin, re«olved to fol- j u* up the dew. and actually found him »t the hou«e of WUIUm Polhemu·, it «ver.

I'hf whooe found that the letter-carriers re ceived their pay by charging from three to five cent*, and sometim·»* more, for »very letter they delivered. It took oolv i dtν or two to have that system aboi i*hed in Havana, much to the relief of the merchants The carrier* were put »n salarie* equivalent to that which they wet»· -uppo«ed to earn by the asses*ment method they were permitted to use under the former regime. The carriers under the Spanish sys tem not only charged for the delivery of mail matter, but they rifled letters free ly, and made money t>y stealing stamp· from mall matter and selling them. The letters and other grades of mall matter would be forwarded without stamps, tnd the carriers at the other end of the routes would collect not only for deliv ery, but for the stamps that had been stolen. There was simply an unparal leled looseness in the conduct of post nfti -e business, and every man seemed to have license to steal wherever he could. Even newspapers would be stolen from bundle* and aold for whatever could be got for them. Another form of corruption was evi dent when the salary lists were examin ed. There was no scale of salariée. In one city a postmaster would receive twice the salary that the po*tm«ster of a larger city received. S tlaries seemed to be arranged on the "pull" plan, with the possibilities of divUlon with the appoint ing power afterward. Place* that under the liberal par ment of the United States would rate at $1500 a year were worth frequently a* much a· $3000 a year.— Harper's Weekly. IN DREADFUL SU-PENSE. A good yarn is to hand from the wilds of Au«traiia. Two impecunious Scotch men, traveling north in search of gold, came upon a saloon. They only had a "saxpence" between them, to they or dered one "nip o' whusky." They were hesitating who should have the first drink, when an "auld" ac quaintance joined them. Pretending they had just drank, one of them handed the'newcomer the whiskey, requesting him to join them In a drink. He drank, and after a few minute· of piinful silence and snspenae Mid "Now, boys, you'll have one with mef" "Wasna that weel managed, mon?" «aid one to his pal afterward. "Ay, it was," said the other, solemn ly; "bnt it was a dreadful risk!"—Odd· and Ends. THOUGHT THE END MUST BE CUT OFF. An Irishman who served on board a man-of-war was «elected by one of th» ••fflcers, to haul In a tow-line of consid erable Ifength that was towing over the u(Trail. After polling in forty or fifty fathoms, which had pat his patience severely to proof, m well m evert muscle of hi· arms, he muttered to him •elf "Surely, tu u long a· to-day and to-morrow It'· a good week's work for an? flee in the ship.

I was amazed to observe scarcely any signs of agitation over what was certainly an extraor dinary interview. She was a brilliant brunette, with bair and eyes of intense blackness and a complexion almost olive. There seemed to be a faint height ening of color and a brighter luster iu the eyes that intbralled me.
