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 Its ge enough to permit an ordinary-sized b!son to crawl easily through. One is made j tamiig out the panel of a door leading joto another room.

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.

WHIHiE DEAD LETTERSGO AN INTERESTING BRANCH OF THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT. Scenes in the Dead Lettor Office Men Who Opeivend Women Who Examine Letters The Carelessness of the American People—ln the Catacombs. Etc. 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 debut its I, therefore, from the opener’s table on in-count of an alleged preponderance of femaleVuriosity. The custom of having men at this desk Inf-. a rather curious his tory, us a Star reporter us'Crtidued in talk ing with nil old employe of the office. It used to lie the practice to employ the mails in sending forward a mass of indecent looks, pic till etc., and nil that class of publications which intuister to tne prurient and lit pruvi-d taste Of rourv* there was a gocsidi .il of this stuff in the letters lliat came to the Dead Let U-r Office, and it was rathcT a di:<ug unaliloiluty for u wouinu sur rounded by men to oin a letter iTintaiuiiiK an indoiviit pietuio or on o<*.-ne Ismk, and so tin) practice was adopted of employing men at the opening tublMk For scene yvu*s (Ki t tlu'i e hius been but a imuill amount of obscene matter received at the offl-v, and it may be, csiiicluiied thut very littlo goes thi ough the tnuils.

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. Advice to Mothers.
