The Dead Letter Office at Wash-
A correspondent of the Boston Satter
day Eve 03,17 pcxzette says:
"The dead-letter office is one of the
curiosities of Washington to the- strogeZ;
but to those engaged ivy it i§ a terrible
dru,dz,ery., The. °veiling, eAamining and
sorting of tonsteen, thousand five hundred
letters very six hours involves much
hard labor; but it must he done for there
are four and a half millions of dead letters
come to the office every year All that
are signed are returned to the writers;
but so many are written by "Your af
fectionate Ad ie," -or "Your loving Susie,' ,
that each clerk has a huge two-bushel
basket by him, into which all letters un
signed
by the full same are, droppcd.—
From 'that receptacle they pass to the
chgpping-will, where they are cut into
small pieces, so, that they may never he
read, and from the ehopping-knife they
go to the paper-mill. The great majority
of these letters aro lost through the caret
lessness if the writers; and it surpasses
my power of imagination - to know /sow
people are so careless, especially- when
they seed large sums of money. Nearly '
fifty-eight thousand letters came to this
offiCe last year enclosing bills or checks
or bonds. And how much do you sup

and a half of dollars! One letter
contained two, one-thcusaud-dollar bills;
it was returned to the writer. Another

The letter came from Ohioago,, - was

owner came forward, saying that when he '
sent the money he was in so much of a
hurry he forgot to add the name! The

that turned 'up "dead" contained bonds
worth over $20,000,

To Vocalists and Public Speakers, these Wafers.
are peculiarly valuable; they will in one day re—
move the most severe occasional hoarseness : and,
their regular use for a few days will, at all times,
increase the power and flexibility of the voice,.
greatly improving its tone, compass and clearness,
for which purpose they are regularly used by many:
professional vocalists. -
The very great celebrity of this invaluabi,e rign,

base imitations, which disappoint the just expects-.

the genuine medicine.
