intortunate letter carrier is compelled to
Si every day of his sad and hustling life.

lvering agent of a great concern, wnich

The man to blame for opening tbe pack
was John C. Angert, who is officially
Town as “rater of third and fourth class
matter ” This long name in some cities is
shortened to “inspector of packages.” This
layer title is probabably more succinct and
appropriate than the first. At all events,
Mr Angert is an tumble man and carries
his lengthy official title with surprising
equanimity. He is, in reality, a branch of
the secret service of the postoffice depart
ment as his duties are to open every piece
nt third and fourth class matter passing
ttrcugh tne Cincinnati office for the pur
pose of ascertaining if the packages contain
anv writing which would subject them to
first-class postage. ,
As many be magin ed, the thousand and
one curious objects which pass through
Mr. Angert’* hands are full of interest to
suyperwn who may be granted permis
sion to spend an hour a' the table at which
b works so rapidly and successfully. The
rater is an observant gentleman and is as
full of stories concerning his business as an
9jr g is fall of meat. By far, however, the
mas: interesting reminiscence of Mr. An
jert’s list in anew story of a courtship,
proposal and acceptance of the proposal,
lovers'quarrel and break up, subsequently
teoonciliatioa and marriage. As Mr. An
jert relates the incidents very well let him
*ll them.
“The ending of the romance,” began Mr.
Ingrrt, “came only a few days ago. About
u smiths ago I opened a box of flowers
warning an unsealed letter.” The letter,
f coarse, was read by Mr. Angert, “to as
uta.n wfisther it was engraved.” “Well,
Iread the letter through, that’s the truth
if the matter. It was a tender missive,
legging tbe lady to accept the flowers, also
lithe same time grant him the pleasure of
lerfriendship. He had been introduced to
her at a little party a few nights before aud
tidbeen smi’ieu by her beauty. I tied
tea: box up with a sigh and charged twelve
cents extra postage. I buried the incident
away in my brain, as I thought, never to
be recalled, except for relation to my fam
ily c.rcle,
"But things began to come pretty swiftly
after this. A box of r.on-bons would pre
cede a box of beautiful flowers or gloves;
each Contained a letter, and it must have
taken all that girl’s pin money to [jay extra
postage on the boxes of flowers and bon
bons which were poured upou ber devoted
bead. The notes began to contain a deep
red tings of affection, at first almost imper
ceptible, but later tbe glow and splutter
illuminated tbe darkness of the life of even
a postoffica employe. At last came the
climax in the shape of a proposal of raar
niite written on tinted note paper, im
bedded iu a box of beautiful roses. The box
was duly charged with the regular postage,
atd I patiently awaited the next develop
ment tr m the young man at Laporte, Ind.,
for it was from that [dace the many tender
and cuments had emanated.
Then ay heart beat light with gladness,
one bright morning when there passed
through my hands a box of bon-bons ad
dressee, to ‘My own dearest May.’ That
wttled it. I did not require the blow of a
wp hammer on my skull to realize that
Me proposal had been accepted and was
ell under way’. Well, sir, such gushing as
mad in those letters for tnree months was
rtiough to mate a yellow horse turn green.

TO DESTROY THE DUPONTS’.
The Powder Men the Victims of a
Gigantic Conspiracy.
Philadelphia, Pa., Nov. 16.—A con
spiracy is being waged against the Duponts,
who have the great powder-mills near this
city. A month ago an explosion occurred
that wrecked the powder-mills, killed
twenty people, injured many more, and
since that time incendiaries have set fire to
the barns on the Dupont farms and tried to
blow up the works.
Tue conspiracy is one of the grea eit ever
known in tne country. The Duponts have
offered |5,000 reward for tbe caDture of the
incendiaries, but without avail. The latest
atrocity of the organized band of fiends was
the finding of a handful of matches In a roll
of raw cotton in tbe cotton-warp mill of
Barlow & Thatcher at Rising Sun. The mill
and the greater part of its machinery are
owned by E. I. Dupont & Cos., and Barlow
& Thatcher are the lessees and operators.
About sixty men, women and children
aro employed in the plant, which is muluav
between tne middle or Hagley yard and the
lower yard of the powder manufactory.
The matches were luckily found by a girl
employe just before they reached a “pick
ing” machine which separates the cotton by
means of rapidly-moving steel teeth, the
latter alone frequently striking fire.
