The Recompensc that Returns.
- “I have come to ask your advice, Annie,”
said Mary Carter, entering her sister's small
bedroom, “butfirst let me warm my frozen
fingers, for the afternoon is fearful y cold."
She threw her snow dusted cloak on the
only vacant chair and tossed her black but
on the bed, she coiled up at Annie‘s feet in
front of the meagre register.
The two girls were orphans, and toiling
in the respectable harness of -—leaching.
Theirs was only ' the oft-repealed story Of
New York. life. The hither had failed, and
'had not strength to rally again; so the frail,
gentle mother soon followed her husband
to the rest where the weary are sleeping.
A rich relative bad educated the girls that
they might be iitpeudent, and therefore
now they were battlina and struggling in
the great city, whose Cd is Gold Annie
'the‘clder by two' summers, was ,a gentle,
thin-haired girl of twenty-two, one of those
calm self-relying natures that rise in all the
strength of the old martyrs, when circum:
stances so require; a. heroine born, that
stems only strengthen, misfortunes make
grand; with apure classicfuce—a face that
,men gaze on,more 'n admiration and re-
'§pectvthnn1rassionnte love; and she strove
and suffered as resident English governess
in one of the large fashionable schools of
the city, while the younger, the impulsive,
sensitive Mary, was teaching Mrs.Vale’s four
children in a beautiful home on the Avenue.
0n Thurs‘da Mrs. Vale had issued cards
for a grand ba 1 the following week, and tO
ask Annie’s advice in reference to this hall
the young girl had braved the driving N o-
.ve'mber storm.
“And now Annie help me iO'decide, for
altho’ Mrs. Vale has been exceedingl kind
tome, even urging my presence on i e plea
of friendship. yet all that is soundly practi-
cal in In nature, counsels me to come here
stay wit you till ten, at which hour your
‘retreat’ is sounded, and then creep quietly
back into my own lilllc room, and read till
sheer weariness sends me to bed.”
“Would it not be better, darling, for you
to please Mrs. Vale ?” ‘
"Better, Annie ?” and her. eyes flashed,
“better to feel the pangs of a position to
1"hich I have not been born? True, Mrs.
Vale isa considerate woman, and would
shield me if she could ; bill; will her guests
regard this protection ? I know the women
better! ‘Who is that ?’ will some jewelled
shoddy exclaim, and how can the question
he answered? I am neither Mrs. Yale’s
relative, nor guest, but—the governessof
Mrs. Vale’s children."
Her voice trembled and her eyes were
full of team. _
“No, Annie,” she continued, “I have no
place in society, and ’tis safer not to risk
attack.” _ '
Annie felt the truth of her sister‘s logic yet
. she knew that it Was wiser for Mary to ac-
cept-Mrs‘. Vale’s invitation. NO kind shel-
ter awaited the orphans, for self-reliance
was a hard necessity forced upon them ; and
it was braver to meet life's phases than to
shrink, and in shrinking lose a good home.
The elder sister felt a pardonablc pride in
the rare beauty ‘before her, so she tried to
soothe the sensitive spirit, and wayward,
haughty nature. And in truth, Mary Car-
ter was gifled with the ‘faial gift,’ for if the
mere accident of birth leaves Its impress, she
as thoroughly illustrated that birth, as any
of the patrician beauties of the old days of
Rome. Light golden waves of hair, that
the poets love, shaded her low Greek fore-
head, and beneath the proudly arched
brows, shone dark, changeful hazel eyes—
eyes that gleam with passion, or glance ten-
’ derly soil, as a cooing dove’s: then a lithe
graceful,expressive figure mm the walk even
characteriStic, and you feltwhen you looked
upon her, but that she belonged where she
was born, among the daintiest of the land.
A womanto be sheltered and cared, for not
to struggle and suffer.
Annie s arguments. prevailed, and on the
night of the ball, Mary Carter walked in the
brilliant rooms with Mrs. Vale, and not even
in that lovely gathering was one fairer
than the young girl standing at Mrs. Vale’s
side.
Only a simple dress of tulle fell in a cloud
. mist around her, and a wreath Of lilies
bound her shining hair. Excitement deep-
ened the color in her- cheeks, and her eyes
were luminous with “light that only such
eyes ever give forth.
“My friend, Miss Carter." .How Mary’s
heart beat as Mrs. Vale introduced her.
The inherited pride was undimiuished; and
although she felt that her position was bon-
orable, yet she knew that society gave her
no status. ‘ ,
But Hemlsmuller‘s lovely music - was
sounding, and youth, with its keen relish
for pleasure, cannot alwafis feel theshack-
les of circumstances; so ary forgot her
nervous fears, and enjoygi' every moment,
till—well it was toward t e close of the eve-
ning. The beautiful Faust Lanciers,were
echoing and the third figure, so trying to a.
woman’s grace, had begun. Mary Carter’s
vim-oft was a handsome, showy woman,
fiashin with-diamonds, and,-in the intervals
of the once, was conversing with a tall,zh's-
tfnmw gentleman, who stood carelessly lean-
ing against a pedestal near. With the eye
Ofa connoisseur he swept the crowded rooms
and‘i'ested it on the slight fi ure' oppbsrte.
“Saving your fairest self, rs. Edelbert I
would determine the'young girl facing us
the most beautiful in the room. Watch her
movements and that graceful curtsey; in
that simple inclination .is_the test of the
breeding, which her. exquisite features sub
stautiatc.” '
“You are for once mistaken, Mr. Har-
dingc; for it is only Mrs. Vale’s governess i”.
It was the eecxmd forward, the forward
when the lady curtseys, and just when the
music sways for the low inclination and
then the cold hard words felldistinctly.
“Only Mrs. Va‘e’s governess!” For one Sili-
gle instant the young girl fallercd; for one
second, as she afterwards said, her eyes were
blind, her brain reeled. But true to its old
source, the bought; blood rose tuber res-
cue, and with a la {’8 flash a fleeting look
of inefi‘able scorn, s e met Mr s.Edelbcrt’s
till the woman quailezl; then, as a
queen, Mary Carter. rose, and glided back to
her partner. -

gleamsflanced in weird fitfulness; the gas
was not yetlit,snd through the dimness
floated the wailing notes of a sweet control-
to. What a world of tender pathos in the
tones as they appealed. -
“Flee as a bird to the mountain,
Ye who are weary of sin."
And she sang on, with ‘a low sob in the
v01ce. as then b her heart echoed everv
note of the music. Her face was very pale
and her v-yes rested on Raphael’s Madonna.
The children were very fond of Mary Cur-
ler, and ‘they were kneelingfand leaning
near her, perfectly calmed by the sweet, sad
strain, when noiseles‘sly the heavy Curtain
ported, and, Mrs. Vale walked in with her
brother, John Hardinge. , .
“Mary, here is my brother, Mr. Hardinge
of whom you have heard me s eak so often,
and 'tnis, John. is my friend, iss Curler.”
. The poor child’s thoughts were wander-
lug tO'Thursday evening, when she had res.
ted upon those very words,with such crush»
in results; therefore her how was overy
09 d, and her voice trembled as,a few mo-
ments after, she arose, and excusing herself,
retired from the music room.
The arrow was quivering still and the poi-
son was absorbing thc heart’s vitality—la
trust in human nature. , ,
.A shade of disappointment clouded John
Hardinge’s face, as the last fold of her trail-
ing black dress disappeared from the heavy
curtain, and then he told Mrs. Vale of what
had happened. '
She was a kind gentle lady, and her
hfiart sorrowedjor the desolate young or-
p an. ,
Mr. Hardinge often strolled in at the“cbil¥
dren’s hour,” and the little ones were really
as lovely as the celebrated grOup known as
Longfellow's childreil. ' "
Always in the music room he found Ma-
li; for never since the night of the ball,had
s e appeared in the parlor. Society had on-
ly stamped the impress, which her own
heart had warned her of, and she felt that as
a. governess, she was unrecognizable. And
so the buoyant, haughty spirit forced itself
into the shackles, and the young heart fed
upon its life for food!
But John Hardinge wss‘no longer a young
man; therefore he 'was not easily daunted.
nor was he a neophyte to be discouraged
by a girl‘s coldness. The-heart that was unim-
pressed by the suns of forty summers, at
last felt. the trembling of germination, and
the realization came with untold strength
and power; so the strong man yearned to
fold within his proleclingr care the delicate
blossom so tossed by life s storm,
Proud and shrinking, she seldom allowed
herself to be talked to; but music, was her
possuon aud'slie quite forget her life and po-
sition, when Mr. Hardingc’s pleasant visits
came to brighten her winter days.
He was a culivated, courtly gentleman,
whose wealth made him sought after in the
great marriage market; and mammas were
especiallly sauvv, and daughters very docile,
when 0 . Hardiuge vouchsafed attention.
But men ol society seldom love in society;
they weary of note and routine, and tire of
reproduction from the one unvarying. and
unvaried type, a pretty expensive doll ?
Therefore they are more often attracted by
the species sui generis, afi‘orded without a
grand whirl; and so the marriaggs of such
men are disappointing and startling to. the
expectant battnllions.
Madge was the youngest, and fairrst of the
Vale household; a Winsome little fairy of
six summers; but fever flushed her soft
cheeks, and 'her blue eyes were bright wilh
that dangerous light, which makes the
heart of lhclnother throb hard within her
bos'om, for she feels instinctively that the
reaper is near. .
Eight days and nights, Mary Carter ten-
ded the child, for the faint voice always
sounded her name, and the little arms ever
sought her breast to nestle on. .
But the fist had gone forth, and Mrs. Vale
saw the little one pass from her; saw the
soft violet eyes close on Mary’s bosom, heard
the baby-voice plead for- Mary’s- hymn, and»
While the low music sounded, Mrs. Vale
fainted b the dead chil
Then t e beautiful str gth of the young
iri developed, and her tender words of com-
fort called back the mothers faith. A WO-
man’s reli ion .is never more lovely than
when the c ends and shadows darken; then ,
she clings closer to the cross, her “rock of
seem almost inspiration. And Mr..l:larding
watched the slight figure as it softly glided
to and fro on its errands of love in the house
of sorrow.
* * *3!- i it
The little one had been laid to rest be-
neath one of the willOws in Trinity cemetery
and the household seemed under a spell—
the weight of this first great grief. Mrs.
Vale was in her darkened chamber, the chil-
dren in the nursery,and Mary sat in the low
bay window of the library. Her face was
very pale, for long watching had exhausted
her. ‘ Mr. Vale had told her in the morning,
of his intention of sailing for Europe next
month. and had' placed a‘chcck for a hand-
some amouut in her hands.
This Mary at once returned. There was a
flush other Old pride warming her. cheek
when she wrote the simple lines enclosing
the check to Mr. Vale;
,“I should be false to my name did I re-
ceive pay for any service it has only been
my pleasure to reober. . The salary agreed
upon is only one fourth of the sum returned.
This I shall be glad to receive.
MARY CARTER."
And now she was thinking of her future;
she felt that she must find another home,
though no one could shrink more from in-
tercourse with strangers. There were many
Mrs. Edclberts in the great world, and-a gov-
erness was only considered as a person to
control and instruct unmanageable children;
not a woman with the heart and soul of a
woman, but a piece of household furniture,
to occupy lts own especial placc,.aud noth-
ing more. ' ‘
And so the rough tide surged on, and
two burning tears blinded her eyes as these
hard realities for the picture of be life to
come. '
Her intercourse with Mrs. Vale had al-
WO. 3 been ‘pleasanl, and Mr. Hardinge’s
visrt had become more Of an anticipation
than she cared to acknowledge. Now fate
would drill her far away, and her very name
would be for otten. -
Why had s c met these kind People? and
wh Mr. flamingo.—

she looked up to meet the very face she had
been dreaming of, 4 “I have come to tell you.

She could not speak then, for her heart
Was full—full of the sorrow that knows no
utterance. He drew one of the old Gothic
chgirsciosc to her low” seat and cOmmen-

“A very long time ago, Mary, my father
died and left my mother with two little chil-
dren, and not a dollar to support them. We
were comparafiveiy strangers in NewYork,
and I was then a. boy, only fourteen, and
still attending school. - -
“I never shall forget the dreary Novem
ber afternoon on which my father’s corpse
was bOrne from the house. My mother’s
grief maddened me, and on my knees beside
her I promised to take care of her.
_“I wandered out the next dav with a boy’s
determination, but with a boy's taint heart.
In twenty stores I offered myself, and was
twenty limes refused; work was what I
wanted—labor, honest labor, and money for
my toil. At last. foot-sore, and pinched with
cold, I nerved'myself for my last attempt.
and walked into the office of one of our mer-
chant princes. ‘ .
“There was a gentleman writing at one of
the desks, who was pointed out as the only
partner in. He was j'llst finishin a letter,
and looked up as I paused before im. '
“My appearance seemed to please him,
for I wasmeaily dressed, and he spoke with
some surprise as he answered my request.”
“You have an honest face my lad,” he
said in conclusion, “and I will see What can
be done 'for on.” ~
“The we were few and simple, but I
afterwards learned that he never promised
without fulfilment.”
“I saw him next day, and he gave me em-
ployment—not only employment, but saw
nly mother; and for years, through his kind-
ness, we w'ere saved from want.”
"Then a great crash came. My kin'd
friend died; and we heard that his family
had left New York.”
“Fortune smiled Upon me, and I became

No More Fish for Dinner.
The meuhaden or moss-bunker fishery on
our coast is assuming proportions that many
four will lead to disastrous results as regards
fish that are used for food. Before moss-
bunkers‘were scooped from the water by
millions, to be tried Oilt for oil Or spread
over Jersey and Long Island farms for ma-
nure, large schools of bluefish and striped
bass came regularly in their season, frc lieut-
ing the waters and rivers around New ork.
When bluefish. made their appearance, far-
mers would come from the inland districts
and camp for days on the seashore, captur—
iiig_ supplies of fish that would lost them
until the fish came again. Now it is a rarity
to .strlke a good school of bluefish in the
height of the season ; and striped bass will
soon be unknown in our waters. Old fish-
ermen assert that this is owing to the de-
struction of their natural supply of food,
the mussbunkers. The moss-bunker is a
fish about four inches long, resembling a
shad in shape and color. It is full of bones,
and very oily. Bluefish and large bass go
for it with a rush. Sea bass, lings, blackfish,
and black bass also devour it greedily.
Some idea of the extent of the meohaden
fishery may be formed from the following
them: On 138! Wednesday evening the
Maltiluck Company of Long Island cap-
tured Over 1,000 000; the North Haven Fish-
ing Company talk 300,000 on Friday; the
Indian Neck Company caught 300,000 last
week; the North Side Company scooped in
100,000 in one day ;. and Mr. Nelson Bur-
nelt pulled in 5,000 at one haul. Tlirc'e new
boats. have been launched at Greenpoint
Within a Week to cnguge‘ in the business.
No great profits accrue from this unprece-
dented slaughter of the finny tribe, and the
stench arising from decaying heaps of fish
at the places where the oil is manufactured,
is horrible. "It is Often wafled miles into the
interior. If these 'fish were left to their oat--
ural uses, the fishermen would make more
money in capturing the myriads of large.
game fish that are now kept away from our
coast for want of sufficient food. This is a
a subject that the Hon. Robert B Roosevelt,
the Hon, Horatio Seymour, and George G.
Cooper, Commissioners of Fisheries, should
look into and act upon.——Sun.
Where to look for finest Wild Flowers.
BY WILSON FLAGG.
Wild plants of rare beauly abound in a
recent clearing, especially in a tract from
which a growth of hard wood has been
felled, if afterwards the soil has remained
undisturbed. In the deep woods the dark-
ness will-not permit any sort of undergrowth
except a few plants of peculiar habit and
constitution. But after the removal of the
wood, all kinds of indigenous plants, whose
seeds have been waftcd there by the winds
or carried there by the birds, will revel in
the clearing, until they are choked by a new
groth of trees and shrubs. Strawberries
and several species Of brambles spring up
there as if by magic, and cover the slumps of
the trees with their vines and their racemes
of black and scarlet fruit ; and hundreds of
beautiful flowering plants dslcnisli us by

tion." ‘Wc must look to these clearings, and

A Story with a} MOral. .
Some time since a lady called upon a‘cel-
ebrated occulisl, in order to consult him on
account of her eyes, complaining that their
power of vision had of late considerfily (li-
minished.- At a glance the doctor saw that
she was a lady of rank and wealth. He
looked at the eyes, shook his. head, and
thought the treatment would require much
time, as there were reasons to fear umaurpsis
in her case. He must advise her, first of
all, that as she had informed him she was
residing a considerable distance in the coun-
try, she must move into the city at once, and
thus enable him to see her frequently, if
possible, daily. The lady then rented an
elegant mansion; moved him the city, and
the physician was punctual in his attend-
ance. He prescribed this and that, and thus
(lays ran into weeks and weeks into months.
The cure, however, was still coming. The
physician tried to console her.
One day the patient hit upon a curious
scheme, and waited not long to carry it into
effect. She provided for herself a very old
attire, put a hood of tremendous size upon
her head, took an Old umbrella and :1 mar-
ket basket in her hand, and in these habiii-
ments she visited her physician, selecting
for the purpose a very rainy day. She had
so very well succeeded in distorting and dis-
guising herself, that the eye even of a lover
could scarcely 7 have recognized her. She
was obliged to wait for a long time in the
ante room of the physician, with many
others, who, like her, were seeking relief.
At last her turn came. “.Wcll, my good
woman what have‘giu got to complain of?”
“ Very bad eyes, - octor,” she answered.
He took her to the light, and looked into her
eyes, but failed to recognize his patient.
Shrugging his shoulders, he said:
“ Your eyes are well enough.”
“ Well ?” she said. “ Yes, yes, and 1
know what I am saying.” “ But I have
been told I was getting the a—a—fortrot
how it is called.’ “ Amanrosis ?” “ es,
that is it doctor.” “ Don’t you let them
make you believe any such nonsense. Your
e - s are a. lilllc weak, bill that is all. Your
physician is an ass.” “An —” “ch,
yes, an ass! Tell him. boldly that I said
so.” The lady now arose, and in her cus-
tomarv voice, said: “ Sir, you are my p'bysi-
cian ; 'don’t you know‘me ‘2” The face that
the sage Counsellor made is easier to imagine
than to describe.
" Gracious madam,” be commenced to
stammer an apology, but the lady would
not listen to him, and left him indignantly.
She never saw the gentleman any more.

PBOHIBITION IN MICHIGAN.—Tlle new
liquor law of Michigan is very stringe , It
rovides a fine of $25 for the first convi ten
50 for the second and, $100 for the third,
no matter what beverage 'is sold, so that it
ihtoxicates, or comes under the head of. m-
toxicaling drinks. In case a man receives
intoxicating drinks at a saloon and goes
away and does injury to a person,_or prop-
erty, the saloon is not only held liable for
all the damage, but the person from whom
he rents hissaloon can also be held. If a sa-
loon keeper is convicted of selling liquors,
his lease of any place is declared forfeited,
although he may have just come in posses-
sion. If the wife of a (lrunkard or a drink-
ing man can prove that herself or the family
nave been damaged through reason or in
consequence of such-n sale, can _sue and re-
cover. There is also a clause in the bill
which amends the old law in regard locom-
pclling the attendance of Witnesses, and
obliges a prompt response to the require-
men's of a. subphtrna. There was a clanse
in the all law, which p1 obao.y remains

YOSEMITE.
We give in this week’s JOURNAL, two il-
lustrations of the famous scenery of the
Yosemite Valley, in California, drawn by
Mr. Fenn from photographs by Anthony.
This wonderful chasm issituated on the .
Merced River, in the southern portion of
the county of Mariposa, and one hundrai
and forty miles a little southeast from San
Francisco. It is on the western slope of the
3191‘“! Nevada, midway between its eastern
and western base, and in the centre of the
State, measuring north and south. It isa
narrow gorge, eight miles in length, from
half a mile to a mile in width, and enclosed
in frowning granite walls rising with almost
unbroken and perpendicular faces to the
dizzy height of from three to six thousand
feet above the green and quiet vale beneath.
From the brows of the precipices in several
places spring streams of water, which in
seasons of rains and melting snows form
cataracts of beauty and magnificence sur-

of 1852 by a party under command ofsblflajgg

A few years since this section was granted
by the United States Government to the
State Of California, and it will be forever
preserved for public use. It is becoming a
great resort for tourists, and, as it becomes
better known, and the means of access are
Improved. the interest in it will be greatly
increnscd. The most inter-t sling time ‘for a
visit is in May or June, when the streams
are full and the falls produce their grandest
effects. '
I} is difficult to find comparisons to give
an impresswn of the grandeur of the scenbry
or of the lofty precipices surrounding the-
valley. If the reader crosses the confluent
on the Pacific Railroad,let him imagine,
when on the lof.iest mountain-pass, that it
be cleft in twain to the level of the sea, and
from the base he can look up four thousand
feet to the summit of El Capitan, or six
thousand feet to the glistening crown of the
South Dome. If from New England, let
him reflect that its loftiest peak—Mount
Washington—raises its head only to the
height of one oflllc-se giant rocks. But this
grandest scenery of the world cannot be
described.
The great gorge is not the only Object that
calls the visitor to this section. The veget-
able productions are in kec; ing with the
majestic rocks and giddy water-falls. Sur-
rounding it, at distances Of from ten to fifty
miles, are numerous groves of the great
trees which have so astonished the world.
These have been principally examined by
Whitney and his corps of geologists, and
their number is unknown. Those of Cal-
avcras are more accessible and bet for known,
but, large as they are, many are found in the
Southern groves exceeding them in size.
Whitney measured one of one hundred and
six feet in circumference and two hundred
and seventy-six feet high. Another, lying
prostrate, has been burned so hollow that
one can ride on horseback in the cavity for
a distance of seventy-six feet and have am-
ple room to turn around. The big trees of
this section are not in a single grove, as in
Calaveras County.bui are scattered through
an extensive region at an elevation of from
sxx to seven thousand feet above the sea.
One collection, known as Mariposa-Grove,
lies within about five miles Of the road lead-
ing from Mariposa to Yosemite, and from
this fact has become a great resort for vis-
itors. There are in‘ the grove about six
hundred large trees of from thirt to one
hundred feet in circumference and rom two
undrerl 'illlfl thirty to three hundred and
twenty-five feet in height. These are of the
taxodium fa mily, and bear lhé general name
of Sequoia, in honor of the Cherokee chief
who made an alphabrt for his tribe, but are
distinguished by the specific name of gigan-
tza. This grove is the property of the State
of California, and will ,be preserval as a.
public resort. The grove is reached from
Mariposa or Yosemite by leaving the trail
at Clark’s, a station about midway between
the two places, and taking an easy road to
them about five miles distant. Other groves
are in the vicinity, and the Indians report
still others, with larger trees, further in the
mountains, which white men have never
seen.
. The tour of the Yosemite and Big Trees
ls one of unparalleled interest, requiring
some preparation and endurance to make it.
but is made without danger and at a slight
expense. The railroad and stages convey
one over a great part of the distance, and
saddle-horses and experienced guides con-
duct one the rest. A good hotel is found in
the valley, and comfort and health, as well
its-novelty, reward the traveler.

A Bride and Bridegroom in 1770.
The following description of a couple on
their wedding day, in 1770, is amusing and
interesting: “ To begin with the lady.
Her locks were strained upwards over an
immense cushion that sat like an incubus
on her head and plastered over with poms-
tum, and then sprinkled with a shower of
white powder The height of this tower
was somewhat over a foot. One single
white rosebud In on its top, like an eagle
on a hayslack._ ver her neck and bosom
was folded a lace handkerchief, fastened in
front with a bosom pin rather larger than a.
copper cent, containing her ndfather's
minature set in virgin gold.’ er airy form
was braced up in a. satin dress, the sleeves-
were tight as'the natural skin of her arm,
with at waist formed by a bodice, worn out-.
side. whence the skirt flowed off, and was
distended at the top by an ample hoop.
Si 003 of while kid, with peaked toes, and
heels of two or three inches elevation, en- '
closed her feet and glittered with spangles .
as her little pedal members pccped curiously
out. N OW for the swain. His hair was-
sleeked back and plentifully beflourcd, while,
his queue projected like a handle to a skillet.
H is coat was a. sky-blue silk lined with yel-
low ; his long vest of satin, embroidered
with gold lace; his breaches of the ammo
material, and tied at the knees with pink
ribbons. White silk stockings and pumps,
with laces and ties of the same hue, com-
pleted the habiliments of his neither limbs.
Lace rufiles clustered around the wrist, and
a portentious frill work in correspondence,
and bearing the minalure of‘his beloved,
finished his truly genteel appearance.
A postmaster in Illinois chewed plug to-
bacco, which vile habit was directly interest-
ed in sending him to state prison. As thus :
A letter was mailed in his office containing
five one hundred dollar bills, and directed to
Chicago. When the letter arrived at Chicago
the funds were minus. andgt detective was
set at work. JI‘hat clever man soaked the
envelope in water and loosened the gummed
portion ; he found on microscopic examina-
tion that the re-sealer had been chewing
plug tobacco, and in moistening the gum
and left specks of the weed adhering to it.
Then_this detective went along the line trav-
ersed by the letter and asked everybody who
could by any possibility have handled ‘the
letter for a. “ chaw lerbacker.” Everybody
was handy enough to furnish this masticator
with the desired article, but “was invaria-
ble fine out, until at the mailing office he sat
down. and to the postmaster—who was an
old f.iend—-he expressed himself that the
thief would never be {on 'd. The habit he
had so industriously pursued Of askingfora
“chow,” instinctively prompted him to say,
“Old chap,” give us a chow of tobacco,” to
which the mend replied, “ I dont think I
have any you would use; I never chew any-
t'iingbut plug.” The detective was puzzled.
An old friend, the man before him, was the
thief. He stifled the promptings of afi'ection ;
arrested the postmaster ; the case was tried
and now the tobacco chewer is ’ in Joliet,
boarding at the State hotel.
