From Life.
Folly, you're t he girl to lore:
always smiling, and as trim
As the hand within vour glove.
As the hand you 11 give to hint
Who one dear and dreamy nay,
Bending over you shall sav: ■
"All my brain is strangely stirred
Thinking'of your pretty face
Peeping from the folds of lace,
Musing on a whispered word;
All my heart is in a whirl.”
Folly, you're the girl!
What you know is very slight.
Measured by a scholar's books,
Logic, what is wrong or right;
Mathematics: in your looks
Full of double-curved lines
And of plus and minus signs;
Language: limited to one,
Rich in fascinating flaws,
Disobeying grammar laws.
Half in earnest, halt iti fun,
yet with every word a pearl,
Folly, you're the girl!
Books h H but a minor part
Of the lore a girl should know;
Better is the constant heart,
Constant now, and ever so;
diving all its love to make
Life a heaven for Love’s sake.
This is wisdom of the wise;
This it is belongs to you.
Shining brightly in those two
Soft and sympathetie eyes, _
Giving man's poor heart a twirl.
Folly, you’re the girl!
SPIRITS.
confessions of a Clairvoyant’s Former
Servant.
From the San Francisco Call.
Mrs. Maggie Gallagher is a domestic who
has learned the process of simultaneously
wielding a broom and dustpan, making a bed
up-stairt, starting a fire in a grate down
stairs and making a pan of dough in the
kitchen. This feat, which casts the magical
performances of Heller into the shade and
puts the abstruse doings of Rider Haggard's
1,000-year-old heroine into the back-ground,
was first accomplished by Mrs. Gallagher at
u female clairvoyant’s residence on Mission
street, near Third. Notwithstanding the
mysterious influences under which she pro
fessed to live and by which she directed
wonderful spiritual manifestations, this em
ployer neglected to render any supernatural
assistance, which Mrs. Gallagher claims was
almost imperatively needed in doing the
work that the clairvoyant required of her.
As it happened that the domestic and the
spiritualist quarreled, and when the milk
man did his daily routine of duty at the
Mission street residence one afternoon re
cently, he was informed by the new house
keeper that Mrs. Gallagher had gone away.
The nature of the rupture between the
servant girl and her former employer was
inch that after returning to her home on
rwentv-seventh street, Mi's. Gallagher de
crmined to unbosom herself of the secrets
which she had picked up during her service
n the clairvoyant's house, and with that ob
ject in view she hunted up a reporter yes
lerday. She is apparently about 27 or' 28
real's old. intelligent enough, and cheer
'uilv imparted the information which she
possessed. What she related will doubtless
serve to open the eyes of several prominent
men in the community who, according to
her story, are constant visitors nt the
seances given by this clairvoyant, and who,
although wise enough to the outside world,
are seemingly dupes in charmed circle.
A FEMALE “PEEPING TOM.”
The house where the seances take place is
located on Mission street, between Third
and Fourth, anil is an old landmark in that
locality. The curiosity of Mi's. Gallagher
at the weird occurrences there was aroused
soon after she accepted a situation from the
spiritualist. She began by peering through
key-holes, and then, becoming less and less
afraid of detection, took to looking over the
transom while seances were being held. Her
position in the residence enabled ner to ob
serve the mechanism in the seance room, as
she had to sweep it out and keep it clean.
At first she h . creepy chills and incongru
ous nightmare when she saw splints and ani
mated skeletons appear night after night
there, as if the house were their permanent
abode; but when she discovered, ns she says,
that‘"all these goings-on” were merely the
outcome of trickery, her dread departed.
Herinferes! in the phenomena witnessed at
this habitation, where wonderingsisioks and
incandescent spirits played in a theatrical
parlance long engagements, did not dimin
ish, and she kept f .king around the seanee
toom and looking through the transom until
her knowledge ol them tbods employed to
inductj revelations of lib icyond t! grave
was, in ln'r opinion, compler,-.*. Site remained
on the pay-roll of the clairvoyant for about
a year, and dm ing that period managed to
hiake the following observations: The room
hi which the materializing seances was held
is uraped entirely in black. The dark
coiored cloth which covers the sides of the
kpartnient not only has a sombre and
ghastly effect, but il intensities the darkness
yiien the lamps are lowered, and also assists
hi concealing the entrance of the spirits
through a couple of holes by which they are
ji rnitted into the room. Those orifices are

WELL UP IN Ills BUSINESS.
The Bulgarian, it is said, has also been
building up a reputation which will, per
haps, secure him a place in the future as
frontispiece for a Kearney street cigar
store, since he has seven times a week been
depicting a dead Indian iu a manner which
might almost, without any bull being in
tended, Vie pronounced true to life. Two or
three skeletons, emblazoned with a phos
phorescent composition, are also brought on
the scene at these seances. Birdie, while
hidden in her black robe, carries them out in
a careful manner, making them appeal* as
if they were walking forward by them
selves, and attaches them by a book on
their backs to a chair or other support,
where they swing to and fro with ghastly
realism. Birdie, standing by these bony
relies of humanity, answers whatever ques
tions ace propounded to the skeletons, and
the latter are credited with the replies.
Ex-Judge W , a well known lawyer;
Mr. G , who belongs to the stock board,
and other well-known citizens, are described
as frequent participants in these uncanny
proceeding!. The medium charges a
sitting to each jierson, and thus manages by
her spiritual gifts to satisfy her temporal
wants.
Among the most profitable patrons of
these clairvoyance parlors has been a
rancher, who bus come frequently to tin
city to consult with this medium and ob
tain spiritual advice. He has been very
much attracted bv the spirit of a man
named Jackson, who has not only called at
the medium’s place regularly in the watches
of the night, but has, presumably by dis
commoding himself in the great beyond,
succeeded in reaching there during business
hours of the day. This Jackson was a for
mer medium, and produced large quantities
of spirits during his life time. Jackson
eventually crossed tin- dark river hinisclt to
join the mystic band which he had in vaded
m liis business on earth. Before dying he
declared, it is alleged, that if the medium
kept Iris clothes, which lie bequeathed to
her, he would come back in spirit and in
habit them whenever she wished. These
valuable garments were therefore treasured
and kept in the cabinet, and Jackson ful
filled his promise whenever wanted. Mrs.
Gallagher says that the Bulgarian ex
lirigand filled tile clt ithe-s on each occasion.
Anyhow, the rancher grew much attached
to t.he spirit ef the departed Jackson, and
sought his advice on many matters con
nected with Ills fai-m and his business in
general. It was freely given at the rate of
a sitting, and the rancher was so pleased
that sometimes in a week he returned two
and three times.
WHERE THE AIR-SHIP COMES IN.
The husband of the medium is not de
voted to spiritualistic pursuits, He is of an
inventive turn of mind, it is said, and while
content that spirits should rove the air un
impeded, is desirous that earth-encumbered
mortals should be granted the same privi
lege with as little danger. He has there
fore been endeavoring to contrive an air
ship, and has been expanding many years
and ail his intellect upon the problem of
making the air navigable. He has not yet
succeeded, but bis endeavors seem to have
interested 'the impalpable friends of his
wife. The spirit of Jackson manifested its
absorption in the inventor’s work when the
rancher paid his last visit just previous to
Mrs. Gallagher’s departure. Jackson’s
spirit, which had been telling the country
customer what crops would be the most
abundant at certain seasons, and that he
should sell when the boom reached Inver
more, informed the rancher at this meeting
that he must give the medium’s husband
8500 to complete the air-sliip; that it was to
be the universal means of transportation in
the future; was destined to knock out the
railroads and to bpng in fabulous profits:
and that if the rural pei-souage did not hand
over the coin the spirit would leave and
never more return to convene with him.
The 8500, it is said, was paid over, and very
likely the rancher is still obtaining spiritual
advice.
Mrs. Gallagher also recounted, the mode
pursued in deceiving strange visitors who go
to have the “veil drawn” and peer into the
future. The medium holds a conversation
with these customers in one room while her
assistants are listening in mi adjoining com
partment. The Latter having learned all
that is necessary to bring n message from
the other world, resolve themselves into
ghosts, and are sufllciently informed to re
ply satisfactorily to all questions asked. Not
everybody is admitted to the house. Only
those who are known or who an- vouched
for by such writo-i; as Judge IV nr Mr.
G— —-can obtain the entree. At the seances
precautions aro taken to prevent n\* suc
cessful sortie on the cabinet, chairs being
placed in the way as a barricade, and the
medium and her husband guarding lx>tb
ends of the horseshoe, while muscular,
trusted disciples grip the hand of new vis
itors.
AN UNTUTORED MILJ.IONAIRE.
All About John Morrissey, the Owner
of Montana Regent.
From the Omaha llrpubliran.
A year ago very few people residing out
side the lines of Colorado hail heard of John
D. Morrissey, whose offer to back his home
Montana Regent against “Lucky” Bald
win’s Volante for 810,000 in a two-aml-a
half mile race was published yesterday.
Five years ago Morrissey was working for
$4 a i lay in one of the Leadville mines, To
day his check for $8,000,000 will be hon
ored by any bank in the country, and he
owns some of the richest mining property
in the Centennial State, llis career hus
been as remarkable as that of the lucky
Ran Franciscan whose money he is yearning
to win.
Morrissey is an Irishman about 80 years
of age. When he arrived in Leadville eight
oil nine years ago he could neither read nor
write. His illiteracy did not bother him
much until ho begun to climb the ladder to
wealth and was ordered by circumstances to
mingle with th- bruins, culture and capital
of the great Carbonate Camp. Then ho em
ployed a private tutor and studied hard un
til ho was able to sign his name and read the
signatures of others.
Morrissey's ascension tc affluence was very
rapid. He learned practical mining at
• Georgetown, Col., and wus working as a
practical miner in the Crown Point property
at Leadville when it was closed down aud
offered for sale by disgusted stockholders.
One of these was Joseph Reynolds, of
Chicago, known to fame ns “Diamond
Joe” and ‘The Steamboat King.” Morrissey
whispered something to him, and Rey
nolds said:
-Go ahead, and you will receive cue-third
of all the ore you turn out.”
Morrissey went ahead, and after working
haul six months uncovered the richest ls>ly
of wireVilver-heariiig ore ever discovered
in t,he State. From that moment fortune
smiled on him. As fast n> h- made money*
he invested it. The Crown Point is still
jumping out wealth for him, and he re
ceiver a share of the output of the lies!
mini s at Aspili, Red Cliff, Sowln-lly Gulch
and other point - within 100 miles o< 1-eaii
ville.
He has always l**en a lover and promoter
of square s|iorts. When a working miner
lie was prominent in the w rest ling mid ls>x

POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT.

F om the Washington Star.
“Death from inadrertence or death from
old age,” is the way that Mr. Perry, the chief
clerk of the Dead D-t ter Office, designates
the two classes into which all mail matter
that comes to the office is divided. That
classification was made, however, in the
course of conversation with a reporter. In
official utterances more stately language is
used, and when Mr. Baird, the superintent
dent, pens his annual report he divides all
mail matter that is handled by the office
into unmailable matter and unclaimed, or
dead matter proper. Mutter belonging to
lioth classes may be regarded us dead as
soon as it is sent to the Dead-Letter Office,
but, owing to the improved methods adopt
ed and the skill and ingenuity ot those en
gaged in the work, death, in a large propor
tion of cases, proves to lie only a comatose
condition— a case of syncope, which a skill
ful application of restoratives overcomes.
The letter then pies forward with renewed
vigor to its destination. The unmailable
matter, or that ivhich dies from inadvert
ence on the part of the sender, is that which
is held for imstage, - which has illegible, in
correct, or insufficient addresses, or where
the matter is placed in the mails rvntraqy
to the postal laws and regulations, as, for
instance, destructive matter and obscene
matter. Now, -the other class, or dead mat
ter proper, is such matter as, having reach 1
oil the office of distribution, is either un
claimed or refused by the party addressed,
or which, from its nature or because of in
definite or fictitious address, cannot be de
livered. The classification above referred
to is made after the matter reaches the
Dead-Letter Office, where it comes every
day in great sacks from oil parts of the
country. In the main, these bulky sacks of
lifeless mail matter may be said to repre
sent tbe carelessness of the American i>eoj de,
although some portion of it is a witness of
the popular ignorance of the postal laws
and regulations. Whatever may be the
cause or the premature demise of the letters,
they find upon their arrival at the Dead
Letter Office that they have come to a lively
receiving vault.
A SCENE IN THE OFFICE.
The sacks are shot up-stairs by an elevator
into a great hall with a lofty celling run
ning through two stories. The floor of this
hall is covered with desks, long tables and
sacks, full and empty. There is a busy
corps of clerks, some armed with sharp,
glittering knives, and others bending over
ledgers. A wide gallery runs around the
hall, supported by spiral columns, and a
dark green certain above the iron railing
shuts off from view the clerks occupying
the gallery, who are mostly ladies. The
sacks come piling iu, mid each day’s mail
brings over Pi.ooo letters and packages the
year around. One hundred and four )iair.s
of brisk hands seize upon this mass of
material, and iu a short time it is arranged,
classified, and the records made up, so that
all that, enters the office can be accounted
for. The office, looking at it from the stand
point of exactness and method, may be
called a mill, through which every thing
that enters must pass in a regular channel.
In fact, Superintendent Baird has devised
an ingenious representation of the method
of work in the office, which uses the idea of a
mill-hopper.
There were over 5,000,000 pieces of mail
matter received at the office last year, an in
crease of about 5 per cent, over that received
during the previous year. Of this uumbei
over 8,000,000 pieces are dead matter, pun
and simple; 8,500,000 being ordinary un
claimed letters. Thb amount of mail mat
ter that Li scut to persons who, for some
reason or other, never receive it from the
post office, as represented by the alxive
ngures, might tie used by some philosophic
writes* fond of figures as tho basis for an
argument that the people of the Unite-
States are largely migratory in their habit--.
For instance, it is said that there are ovei
2,000 letters received in this city each yeai
which arc directed to persons whom the
carriers do not know otul can find no tract
of. These letters are. of course, advertised,
but it would seem that a good proportion of
the }ieople who ought to read the advertiser',
fist-- never do. and so the letters come to the
Dead i -otter Offi e.
THE OWNER'S DESK.
Then they find their way to the opener’.-
desk, which is a long table divided into
compartments by low wooden partitions,
and before each of the compartments sits a
clerk. There are 11 openers at present.
Their business Ls to open letters, aud tht
majority of people will probably be inclined
to the opinion that the position Ls a good
deal like that occupied by the late Tantalus,
for the reason that while they are required
to open letters they are forbidden to reud
letters. To read a letter is not only against
the regulations of the office, but is against
the law. All day long they are obliged to
sit thebe, thrusting their long-pointed Knife
blades into one corner of the envelope and
then ripping it open, remove the contents,
fold it with tl:d envelope, and plaee it in a
pile on their desks, and then go on to the
next. Perhaps, like the clerks liehind the
counter in candy stores, who are the objects
of the consuming envy of every health;
normal child, they become satiatod with the
novelty of handling so many letters, and
tbe opening of a letter is no longer accom
panied with that thrill of curiosity, that
burning desire to know its contents, which
is the common lot of ordinary humanity.
But there are no women at that desk. They
are all men—and old men at that; • Htaid,
sober, steady-going men, fathers of families
and |Mttriarchs in the church. For it is not
alone the temptations of curiosity that have
to be encountered at the opener’s desk. If
that .were all, women would, no doubt, liave
Ik-cii admitted to tile fraternity long Wore
this.
THE LADY CLERKS.
The women already number throe
fourths of the clerical force ol the office, and
in their lofty perch in the gallery they ex
amine the ojienod letters for tho address of
the writer, or some evidence u|*>n which to
base a reasonable conclusion ms to the origin
or destination of the letters. They are, not

femaleVuriosity. The custom of having

MONEY IN LETTERS.
As has been already indicated, the openers
must lie persons of cnaraeter, for the reason
that a great many letters contain money,
when money is found in the letters, or, in
deed, any iriclosurc, tho op mers are required
to make in a book provider) for the puniose
an entry of the amount of money found and
the character of the inelourc, of whatever
kind. This record passes into the hands of
other clerks, constituting a system of checks,
which experience has shown to lie necessary,
mid it is believed that there is no loss
through dishonesty of the employes. The
system has lieen the growth of years, and in
the few eases that have iweurreil in the past
of dishonesty on the part of employes, the
weak points in the system ha veliecn brought
to light aud remedied. It, is surprising to
Lain how much money is yearly intrusted
to the mails, and although the numlier of
such letters that find their way to the Dead
Letter Office is probably only a small pro
zwtion of the entire mimlier mailed, yet
last, year there was received at the office
over >BI.OOO in letters. The invention of
such devices as the money older, with the
cheap fees, and the still more modern de
vice of the postal note, wen- designed for
the purpose of avoiding th risk which let
ters containing money are subject-1 to: yet.
in spite of these devices a great many peo
ple still slip their money into the envelope
and trust to luck that their letter, with its
contents, will escape all the (H-rils of the
way. The registered letter is still another
method of lessening the risk, and while it is
true that the number of letters containing
money lias been reduced by these devices,
still people, strangely enough, do not avail
themselves of the advantage- offered. Of
the 881,000 received last year in letters over
$21,000 was restored to owners, nearly
•88,000 remained in the hands of postmasters
awaiting restoration, and over *O.OOO could
not be restored and was placed in the United
States Treasury, where it remain.*: for a
orriod of four years, subject to lie reclaimed
by the owners.-
WORKLNG OUT PUZZLES.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the work of the office is the treatment of
letters which are sent there because of in
sufficient or incorrect addresses. These let
tees represent for the most part, the careless
ness and the hurry of the American people.
A business man in this city, writing a letter
to an acquaintance in Philadelphia, for ex
ample, dashes off his signatory at the close
of the letter, and, while directing the en
velope, is thinking of the nex! subject that
leinund.s his attention, and instead of writ
ing Philadelphia, be subscribes off the w ord
“city,” as he does a hundred times a day,
supposing, of course, that the majority of
his letters are local. He does this the more
readily if his correspondent’s address in
Philadelphia hawiens to b -one of the mini
hi red streets. When the letter comes to the
Dead Letter Office it is handed over to a lady
clerk, who has referred to her over a thou
sand of such letters each day. By long
nraetiee with dealing with such conundrums
the address is properly amended and the
letter is sent on its way again. Some peo
ple drop letters into the office without any
address at all, others write the address so
illegibly and with such disregard for the
rules of orthography that no one but an ex
pert is able to decipher the meaning. Mis
takes of all kinds are made in addressing
letters. The wrong State is given, or else
the wrong town, perhaps both town and
-State arc omitted. Borne humorous persons
write out the whole address in rhymed verse,
and, like a good deal of more pretentious
verse-making, some times it is [>ossible to
ascertain tho authoi-s’ meaning, and then
again the meaning eludes the most, careful
-tndy. When it is considered that the com
biued carelessness and ignorance of the en
tire country has a daily and hourly opportu
nity to develop an aptitude for blundering,
it is surprising that the proportion or' such
letters Ls not much larger than it really ts.
But when samples of this part of the mail
bag of the Dead Letter (Juice are examined,
;t is still more surprising to learn that 80
per cent, of the letters of this character
which are received eacli day and cor
rected are delivered to the persons ad
dressed.
SOLD FOR WASTE PAPER.
When letters contain no inclosures, either
of money or merchandise, and every method
has been exhausti-d for returning them
•ithor to the writer or the pei-son addressed,
they are bundled together and sold for v. asle
paper. There are over 3,000,009 letters and
parcels wliieh are disposed of eaeh year iu
this way, and the revenue derived from the
sale is turned into the Treasury, together
with the money received iu letters for which
no owner can be found. Last year there
was nearly $9,000 deposited in the Treasury
on this account. A visit to the museum ol
this office shows the manifold uses to which
the mails are put in the transportation ol
matter other than letters. In this collection,
which preserves only the most notable ob
jects, may be found lioots, shoes, coats,
shawls, bedquilts, hoop skirts, rattlesnakes,
homed toads, gloves, lace collars, photo
- graphs, jewelry, falsa hah*, etc. The arti
cles received in the mails are retained for
two years, and then if not called for are
sold at public auction. The sale last year
realized over SB,(XX). The system of keepii g
ueh a vast amount of matter together,
with the necessity ol' 1 icing able to produce
any article called for in the m ss of stuff ac
cumulated, involves a very nice method of
tiookkeeping. The storehouse Ls hi the
depths of the Rost Office Department build
ing, in what might be culled the catacombs,
for the plaeo is nearly all under ground,
mid the arrangement of the labeled pack
ages in little aleovas extending from the
walls to tho celling justifies likening the
place to
THE CATACOMBS.
However it is a mighty storehouse, and
while apparently it is a labyrinth without h
due, there can lie no more orderly place.
For every day an inquiry comes tor some
portion of the contents, and tho keeper of
the crypt is able to lay his hands instantly
on any package, however small, tbe moment
there is u call for it.
The year!*.' increase in the amount of mat
ter handled by the Dead Letter Office,
which, while comparatively small, is never
theless eoui'hi ,ivc tiiat the American iie<p!e
were yearly Is-coming more careless. For
after ail carelessness is the cause of a large
proportion of tbe rarlv deaths of postal
matter. The iucrea.se.un the Demi Letter
Office matter last year was little over 5
per cent,, but this increase is not nearly pro
jmi tinned to that of the volume of matter
committed 1 1 the mails. Last year lh<* in
crease in the amount of matter of all kind.,
sent through the mails was ulioul 1H jh-i'
rent. So it may lie concluded that while the
dead letter matter ineieasus each year, this
increase Ls due mainly to tho growth of the
country and the expansion of tho postal ser
vice.
