TB£ HABIT OF FBI*.,
Tin; mind, like the body, contracts tricks
anil hubita which in time become auto-
matic and involuntary—habits of association,
tricks of repetition, of which the excess is mo
nomania, but which,:without attaining to quite,
that extreme, become more or less mas
ters of the brain and directors of the thoughts.
And, of alUhcsc tricks' of the mind, the habit
of fear is the most insidious and persistent.
It is seldom that any. one who lias once given
in to it is able to clear himself of it again.
However unreasonable it may lie, the trick
dings, and it would take an exceptionally
strong intellect to be convinced of its tolly, and
learn the courage of common sense. Hut this
is just the intellect which does not allow ltseli
*> contract the habit in the beginning; a coward
being for the most part a washy, weak
bind of being, witli very little backbone any
how. We do not mead by “fear” that which
is physical and personal' only, though tins is
generally the sole idea which people have of the
word; but moral and mental cowardice as
well Personal fear, indeed, is common enough,
and as pitiable as if is common; and we are
ashamed to say that it is not confined to women,
through naturally more pre-eminent with them
than with men. As for women, the tyranny
of fear lies very heavy on them, takiug the
flavor out. of many a life which else would be
perfectly liappv: being often the only bitter drop
in a cup full id' sweetness. But how bitter
that drop is! bitter enough to destroy all the
sweetness of the rest. Some women live in
this perpetual presence of dread, both mental
and personal. It surrounds them like ati at
mosphere ; it clothes them like a garment; day
by day, and from night to morning, it dogs their
" steps, and sits like a nightmare on their hearts;
it is their very rootwork of sensation, and they
could as soon live without food as live with
out fear. Ludicrous as many of their terrors
are, we still cannot help pitying the poor self
made martyrs of imaginary danger. Take
that most familiar of all forms of lear among
women, the fear oi burglars, and let us imagine
for a moment the horror of tbo life which is
haunted by a nightly dread—by a terror
that comes with as unfailing regularity; as the
darkness —and measure, if we can, the amount
of-anguish that must be endured before
death conies to take oil' the torture. There
,are many women to whom night is simply this
time of torture, never varying, never relieved.
They dare not lock their doors, because then
they would be at the mercy of the man who
sooner or later is to come in at the window ;
and if they hear the boards creak or the furni
ture crack they are in agonies because ot the
man who they are sure is in the house and who
will come in at the'door. They cannot sleep if
they have not looked all about the. room—under
the bed, behind the curtains,’into the closet,
where perhaps a dress hanging a little fantasti
cally gives them a nervous start that lasts for
the night. But though they search so diligently
they would probably faint on the spot if they
saw so much as the heels of the house-breaker
they are looking for. Yet you cannot
reason with these poor creatures. You cannot
deny the fact that burglars have been found be
fore now secreted in bedrooms and you cannot
pooh-pooh the murders and housebreakings
that are reported in the newspapers; so you
have nothing to say to their argument that
things which have happened once may happen
again, and that there is no reason why they
specially should be (exempt from a misfortune
to which others like them have been subjected.
But you feel that their ten ors are just so much
'pith and substance taken out of their strength;
and that if they could banish the fear of bur
glars from their minds they would be so much
the more valuable members of society, while
the exorcism of their dismal demon would be
so much better for themselves. It is tlie same
in everything. If they are living in the coun
try, and go up to London lodgings, they take
the ground floor for fear of fire and being
burnt alive in their beds; and if they go from
London to tlie country they see an escaped
convict or a murderer in every ragged reaper
asking for work, or every tramp that begs for
broken victuals at the door, The country to
them is full of dangers. In the shooting sea
son they are sure they will he shot if they go
near the wood or a turnip-field; they think
they will be gored to death if they meet a
meek-eyed cow going placidly through tlie lane
to her milking, and you might as well try to
march them up to tlie caimo’i’s mouth as in
duce them to cross a field where cattle are graz
ing; if they are driving, and tlie horses are go
ing at full trot, they say they are niuni.ng
. away and- clutch the driver’s arm ner
vously. As travelers they are in a state of not
wholly unreasonable apprehension the whole
time the railway journey lasts;, they wait at
Folkstone. for days for a smooth crossing, and
when they are on hoard they call a breeze a
gale, and make sure they are bound for tlie bot
tom if the sea chops enough to rock tlie boat as
much as a cradle; if they go over a S wiss pass
they say their prayers and shut their eyes till
it is over; and they are horribly afraid of ban
ditti on every foot of Italian ground, besides
lirmly believing in the complicity of all tlie
innkeepers and wttwini, Tlieir fear extends
to all wlio belong to them, for whom
they conjure up scenes of deadly disaster
so soon as they are out of sight,
Their fancy is facetted, like tlie eyes ol' 1
a fly, and they worry themselves and every
- ©ire else by exaggerating eveiy ciiaiiceref dan--
gcr into a certainty of destruction. If an epi-,
demic is abroad, they are sure all tlie children
will take it; and if they have taken it, they
are sure they will never get over it. In illness,
indeed, those people who have allowed tliem
■ selves to fall into tlie habit of fear are especial
ly full of forebodings; not because they are
more loving, more sympathetic than others,
hut because they are more timid and less hope
i ful. If you believe them, no one will recover
who is in any way seriously attacked, and the
smallest ailment in themselves or their friends
is tlie sure forerunner of a mortal sickness.—
-They make no allowance for the elastic power
of human natur'e; and they dislike hope and
courage in others, thinking you ijnteeling in
exact proportion to your cheerfulness'.
Aiorally, tlds same habit of fear deteriorates,
because it weakens and narrows the whole na
ture. So far from following Luther's famous
advice—“ Sin boldly and leave tlie rest to Mod”
—tlieir sin is their very fear, their unconquer
able distrust, These are the people wlio regard
our affections as snares, and all the forms of
pleasure as so many waymarkß on the road to
perdition—wlio would narrow the circle of
human life to the smallest point both of feeliug
and action, because of the sin in which, ac
cording to them, the Whole world is steeped.
They see guilt everywhere, but iunocenoc not
at all; their minds are set to the trick ot' terror,
and fear of the power of tlie' devil and the
anger of God weighs on them like an iron
chain from which there is no releaso. This is
not so much from delicacy of conscience as
from siiuple moral cowardice, for you seldom
Hod these very ' timid people tofty-minded'or
capable of any great act of heroism. On the
contrary, they are generally peevish, and often
selfish; self-consideration being the tap-root of
. their fears,.though the..cause ...UutssignetLto all
soits of pretty things, such as acute sensibilities,
keen imagination, bad health, tender con
science, delieiite nerves—to anything in fact but
the real cause, a cowardly habitof fearproduced
by continual moral selfishness, by incessant
thought of and regard for themselves. Nothing
is so depressing as the society of a timid
person, and nothing is so infectious as fear.
Live with any one given up to an eternal
dread of possible dangers, and disasters, and
\ yoif lean scarcely escape the contagion, nor,
■ffi- however; brave. you may be, maintain your
v cheerfulness and faculty of faith. Indeed, as
■ »/timid folks crave for sympathy in their terrors
i v—their very craving being part of their malady
bof fear—you cannot show them a.'cheerful
ijrfi countenance under pain of oUence, and seem
’ |MF* ing to be almost brutal in your disregard of
’’Jr hat so tortures them. Tlieir fears may be
simply absurd and. irratiqmd, yet yon must
sympathize with them if'you wish Oven to
soothe, argument or common sense, demon- .
station of their futility being TO much
mental ingenuity thrown away. Fear
breeds suspicion too, and timid people
are alwavs suspecting ill of some one. The
deepest old diplomatist who -has probed the.
follv ami evil of the., world from end to end,
and who has sharpened his wits at the expense
of his trust, is not more full of suspicion ot his
kind than a timid, superstitious, world-with
drawn man or woman given up to the tyranny
of fear. Everyone is suspected, more or less,
but chiefly lawyers- and servants and all
strangers. Any demonstration of kiumiess or
interest at all different from the ordinary jog
trot of society tills them with undefined suspi
cion and dread; and,fear being in some degree
the product of a diseased imagination, the
“probable” causes for auything they do not
unite understand would make the fortune, of a
novel-whiter if given him for plots. It any
one wants to hear thrilling romances in course
of actual enactment, let him go down among
remote ar.d quiet-living country people, and
listen to what they have to say of the chance
strangers who may have established themselves
in the neighborhood, and who, having brought
no letters of introduction are not known by the
aborigines. The Newgate Calendar or Pimm's
novels would scarcely match the stories that
fear and ignorance have set afoot. . „ .
Fearful folk are always on the brink of nun.
They cannot wait to se.e how tilings will turn
before they despair, anil they cannot hope for
the best in a bad pass. They we engulfed in
abysses that never open, and they die a thou
sand'deaths before the supreme moment actu
ally arrives. The smallest difficulties are to
them like the straws placed crosswise, over
which no witch could pass; the beneficent
action of time, either as a healer of sorrow or a
revealer of hidden mercies, is a word of com
fort they cannot accept for themselves, liow
true soever it may be for others; the doctrine
that chances.are equal for good as well as for
bad is what they will not understand; and they
know of no power that can avert the. dis
aster, which perhaps is simply a possibility not
even probable, or which their own tears only
Lave arranged. If» they are professional
men, having to make their way, they are for
ever anticipating failure for to-day and abso
lute destruction for to-morrow; and they be
moan the fate of the wife and children sure to
be left to poverty by their ultimate decease,
when the chances are ten to one in favor of
the apportioned threescore and ten years. Life
is a place of suffering here, and a place of tor
, ment hereafter; yet they often wish to die, re
versing . Hamlet’s decision by thinking the
mystery of unknown ills preferable to the
reality of those they have on hand.
Over such minds as these the vatici
nations of such a prophet as Dr. Camming
have' a peculiar power; and they accept his
gloomy interpretations of the Apocalypse with
a faith as unquestioning as that with which
they accept the Gospels. They have a predi
lection indeed for all terrifying prophecies, and
'cast the horoscope of the earth and foretell the
destruction of the universe with marvelous ex
actitude. Their minds are set to the trick of
foreboding, and they live in the habit of fear,
as others live hi the habit of hope, of resigna
• tion, or of careless good humor and indiffer
ence. There is nothing to be done with them.
Like drinking, or palsy, or a nervous head
ache, or a congenital deformity, the habit is
hopeless when once established; and those
who have begun by fear and suspicion and
foreboding .will five to the end in the atmo
sphere they have created fortliemselves. The
man or woman whose mind is once haunted
by the nightly fear of a secreted burglar will go
on looking for his heels so long as eyesight and
the power of locomotion continue; and no
failure in past Apocalyptic interpretations will
shake the believer’s faith in those of which the
time for fulfilment lias not yet arrived". It Is a
trick which has rooted, a habit that has grown
by use into a formation; anil there it must be
left, as something beyond the power of reason
to remedy or of experience to destroy.
Strung© and True.
An odd story comes to its from London :
One morning not long ago one of tbe clerks of
an eminent London publisher brought a card
up to bis olticc, and told him that Colouel-
Blank, the gentleman Whose name was in
scribed upon the document, desired an imme
diate interview. This was at once accorded.
The’Colonel was courteously received, begged
to.tiike a seat and to state his business.
’ lie seemed to have considerable hesitation
about explaining the object of his visit, but at
length took courage, and stated that he had a
daughter who, he learned, had, mii.ch to liis
annoyance, been contributing a very popular
story to the pages of a magazine published by
the linn ; that he particularly disapproved of
his daughter “ scribbling” at all, but that as she
had chosen to do "so, and her story had, it
seemed,'proved extraordinarily popular, he had
come to the conclusion that he ought to claim
for her the remuneration she had fairly earned.
The publisher, as may be supposed, at once as
sented to this view of the subject, and begged
to be favored with the name of the work in
question; thereupon he was informed that it
was a novel, which attained some years ago
great popularity, and which we will call for
present purposes - Cranley Parsonage.”
—Tbeqmblisher was-aghast on hearing this,
and with the utmost politeness intimated- that
there surely must be some strange mistake.
“Cranley Parsonage” he said, was the creation
of a famous writer of fiction with whom he
was himself on terms of intimacy, and there
fore lie could , be under no misapprehension as
to the real authorship. The Colonel, however,
still seemed unconvinced, although with the
' courtesy of a thorough gentleman he listened
with respectful attention to the publisher’s ex
planation. At last tbe latter, approaching with
the utmost caution a delicate subject, ventured
to hint that possibly the young lady had been
out of health, and,had suffered from the delu
sions incidental to hysteria. -
>This view of the subject appeared, however,
to be totally erroneous. So far from being
given to low spirits or indifferent health, his
daughter, said the Colonel, rode twice a week
to hounds, and was a perfect specimen of mens
sana in corporc sano. At last he closed the
interview by thanking the publisher lor liis
courtesy, and saying flint- in a few days he
would call again and bring the author to .speak
for herself. ... .
About a month after Colonel Blank again
made his appearance, accompanied by a beau
tiful jgirl of nineteen, and they were immedi
ately shown up to the publishers room. The
Colonel introduced his daughter, but Mr. K.
very .discreetly said not a word, but waited for
the young lady to begin. Presently she said:
“Olil about that story; I wrote it, you
know.” “Indeed,” replied Mr. IC., “I was
under the impression that it wtls written by
Mr. , from whom we received, it.” The
young‘lady stuck firmly to her assertion; the
publisher rang the bell, and said, “Get the
manuscripts and proofs of Oranley Parsonage.”
They were brought. “Now, mttdain, is this
-your, handwriting ?” sliss Blank-replied,-with •
some hesitation, “No, but they've had it
copied,” addressing her father. The publisher
assured the Colonel that he could swear to it
as the writing of Mr.- , the well-known
novelist.; then addressing Miss la— he begged
to know when she had first sent the manu
scripts to them. She named October. “But,”
said the publisher, “this, document bears
upon the face of it proof of our liaviug re
ceived it three aionths before.” There was a
pause—a very awkward one—endipg by the
father coming up, and quietly leading ins
daughter to another end of the room, where,
■ leaving her seated, he returned to the pub
lisher, tlianked him warmly for his very courte
ous conduct, under circumstances so distressing
to a parent, and withdrew. 1
There is no question that this lovely young
lady was guilty of a frightful lib ; such as some
years ago a young lady ItStftilgc*! in hero, when
sJjc" claimed the authorship ot■■•‘Nothing to
Wear.”
A DAY AT THE SEW AIjMADEN <I«ICK.
' NII.TEU MMHB- •
“Dixon,” the correspondent, 0f..... the Boston
jidtertiser, sends from California an account of
a visit to the', famous Almaden Quicksilver.
Mine. We extract the following:
These cinnabar mines have been worked a
great many years—from a period long before
the Yankee came with liis energyaud improve
ment.. The company now in possession has
been here six years. . As I. have already said,
the yearly production is nori but 24,600 flasks;
in 1805 it was nearly"so,ooo flasks, and with
the present furnaces and an increase of laborers,
it could probably be pushed up. to 00,000 or
more annually, if it were found profitable to
do so. The company has something like
500 men in its employ, of , whom 300
are miners. Most, of the. work at the
mine is done by contract, and the miners
make about three dollars per day. The greater
part of the workers are foreigners—French,
Spanish, Cornish, Mexican, and, in one ca
pacity or another a very considerable number
of boys are employed. TJie rock, after it
reaches the surface, is all'Sorted'by hand—that
which shows no cinnabar is thrown aside to bo
used in filling up gulches. The ore is weighed,
loaded into small cars that are drawn by amulo
or pushed by a couple of men, taken a mile or
two on a narrow railway, then lowered down
an incline, and finally dumped at the furnaces.
Of the rock'necessarily hoisted out of the mine,
not more than one-fiftli, taking the year
through, pioves to be paying, ore. Last year
the company spent over $OO,OOO in cutting
0,000 feet of drifts for connections anil explora
tions. ..... . ,
' The whole mountain sale is honey-combed,
and there are several entrances into the mine.
I went in at one place, along a tunnel for 800
feet, down a shaft ot 275 ieet, around a sec
tion of about three acres in size, through
another long tunnel, and came out half a mile
or more from where I entered. I should say
that there are four or five miles of rail
way under ground and five or Bix miles of
drifts and cuttings besides—though, truth to
tell, an outsider’s head goes confused in the
darkness and climbings and windings and
doublings of a mine to a degree not flatter ing
to liis pride in himself as a well-balanced in
dividual.
I had a capital guide, one of the foremen,
glad to see a journalist, because' he had gradu
ated from the mail-room of the Chicago Daili /
Tribune years ago to seek his fortune in Cali
fornia. lie knew every jpne of the multitu
dinous turns and lanes and shafts and drifts
and ladders and windings and tunnels of that
great mine as well -as the oldest man on the
Advertiser knows the streets and alleys of Bos
ton. He rigged me out in such a garb that my
own mother wouldn’t have known me, and
gave me a three-foot- stick with a candle
fastened into the larger end thereof. Then we
entered the tunnel. That was easy walking
enough, for I had only to follow the narrow
railway track behind him, look carefully that I
didn’t step into the' puddles of standing
water, and keep clear of the many little cars
that men are pushing in and out. There are
two or tiiree stationary steam engines, a lum
ber shed, and a blacksmith’s shop, down in
there half a mile or so from day light—it gave
me novel sensations to come upon those ; and
it was a moment of Dante-isli revelation when
I stood in the shop and through the smoky at
mosphere saw those balf-naked and Begrimed
workmen surrounded by their bright fires.
When we reached the shaft Tierce said that I
could do as I pleased about goingdown—miiny
persons were afraid fo do so, but he did it two
or three time 3 a week. Of course I went down.
The bucket was about half "as
large as a cider barrel, - he got in
first, on one side of the bail, and then
I got in on the other side. Down into the pitchy
black, warmly-moist atmosphere, with the
water dripping on and about ns, his candle
burning faint in the bottom of the bucket, the
engine pulsating above us, rolling cars rumb
ling somewhere, myself holding tight to the wire
rope, Tierce telling me that he never thought
there was m'uch danger unless an earthquake
should come during the descent. These fellows
have a grim sort of humor, you see—wasn’t
that pleasant talk for that particular moment?
But no earthquake was out on a lark just then,
and .so we got down safely. There are several
“levels” in every mine—that is, they work
down a hundred feet, and then work off on
each side the shaft for many hundred feet;
digging out tlie ore and rock from above, and
bringing it up to the shaft so that it may be
hoisted to the surface. •We went into the side
of the mountain and then down tlie shaft—
once down we wandered about there for two
hours, at a depth from the upper world of. from
six hundred to one thousand feet. It was
warm work—in places it was decidedly hot;
another of the miners’ jokes, was to send me
alone into chambers where it was so hot that .1
could scarcely breathe, where men work with
nothing’on but a pair of drawers or overalls.
I believe I enjoyed the humor of the thing as
much as they did, though, for I wanted, genu
ine Yankee that I am, to see all there was to
see. One new thing that 1 saw. was - Mexican
ladders—a log of wood, up and down which you
go by notches or steps cat in the side. Another
thing—miners carrying ore in great leather
bass, on their backs; abstained by a stout strap
across the forehead, so that both hands may be
free for use in going up and dowu tlie drifts
and ladders. Tierce gave me all I wanted of
it—up and down, here and there, by every
point of tlie compass, tunnels and shafts, drifts
and levels, through high chambers, along low
passages, walking on ail fours, crawling on
hands and knees, scrambling up steep plank
inclines, scurrying around “ dumps,” standing
for the rolling and rumbling of blasts, dodging
cars and workmen, talking with miners, drink
ing from buckets, sweating in the hot air, pass
ing by the mouths of drills in which foul gas
puts out a candle on the instant, panting in tlie
powder smoke, turning and winding, and
doubling till I hadn’t tlie ghost of an idea of
the way to daylight and the sun’s civilization.
Then we came out —lie blithe and elastic, I
tired and dirty, glad to get at a pump and my
lunch. You may be-simv-that. 1 took an hour
for resting, for strolling about the village, for
talking with the sorters of rock, for examining
the ore and asking questions about its value
and tlie methods of its reduction.
The town up there on tlie- mountain is
unique enough. There is k large school-house,
a Catholic church, a small theatre, a hall, the
company’s store; any number of drinking
saloons.' It’s a wild place and-a lively place ;
there isn’t much chance for gardens and grass
plats; the population is wholly connected with
tlie mines; the theatre deals in hoisterausness
and tlie leg business; there were surprising
signs of thrift and neatness about many of the
houses," the' streets are up and down and
crooked to -a-distressing degree,- of- every*-
whicli-way-ness: In a word, it is a mining
town on the side and summit of a rugged and
broken' mountain. And you don’t see Cali
fornia till you have seen a good many., such
towns. ,
The ride down the wagon road was a luxury,
albeit my horse continually persisted in show
ing me how near lie could walk to the outer
edge, of the graded .way, and was rather more
curiouß than his rider to ' see what could be
seen by looking over the steep declivities and
into the wild canyons. I easily forgave him,
however, for the view in the smoky afternoon
was strange and fascinating. Everybody tells
me I slioUld be up in the mountains early in
the year, when the air is clear for sights a long
day’s jiiurney distant; but 1 think nothing can
he more satisfactory than these purplish and
opaline and apoetliystian tints and shades of
this autumn when far-off ruggedness and clear
cut reality is toned down to glimmerings and
picturesque suggestiveness.
The Hacienda, seen from above, lies low in
-the valley, shut close in by the mountain ,
of the canyon, and makes as-pretty n.pietuio as
this land of pretty pictures can give., lhu
works cover soverabneres of ground, and are'
inclosed- by a high fence, except at the rear,
where the ever-enduring mountains make it
needless. The furnaces are along the upper
side, various shops are on the lower side, and
in the left-hand corner nearest, the_ entrance is
the spring-from which comes tlm New Almaden
Vichy water.
There isn't anything very elaborate about
the process of turning cinnabar' oio into quick
silver. Fire and water are the workers, and
all that man has to do is to stand by and direct
them. There are seven furnaces here; ono of
theni will hold 100 tons of ore, ono takes abont
05 tons, and the others 135 or 40 tons each.
The ore in being sorted at tlie Planilla is so
broken that there are few pieces larger than
one’s head, and it is put into the furnace just
as it comes down from the mine—-flue and
coarse, all together. Through the furnace, when
it is filled ana covered and sealed to air-tight
ness, run numerous Hues and chambers, and
small passages are made by laying In adobes as
the filling goes on. These adobes are simply
sun-dried brick, fashioned in the yard from
mine-eartli, in which there is a small per
centage of quicksilver. Fire is kindled in the
furnace, kept up for seventy or eighty, hours,
driven through and through the adobe flues,
and thus is extracted all,the quicksilver in the
brick as well as in the ore itself. Get your Are
hot enough, and there is nothing to do but And
a way for taking the metal out of the . flame,
smoke and vapor. “ lie in the fire and vapor,”
said the bright Spaniard who showed me
throughhe want cold,jand then he come
out hisself—fire Jnake- him nothing, codl
make him something; give him cool aud
you get him.” So the flame and
vapor are passed through cooling tubes, over
surfaces of water—the quicksilver collects itself
from iinpalpableness, • falls into gutters, is
brought out by a tube at one comer, runs into
a great iron kettle—and there you have it,
ready to put into cast-iron flasks for market.
That’s all there is of the process. Of course
everything must be done with care, nicety and
judgment; you must know how to feed the
fires, how long and how hard to keep them
burning, how to manage tlie flame, how to
confine the vapor and how to cool It; but the
process isn't half as complicated as that for.
working gold and silver ores.
A 8 before stated, tlie company allows itself
to produce but a limited quantity of quick
silver yearly—only four of tlie furnaces are in
use, and large piles of ores are lying, over in
tlie back part of the yard to be reduced next
year. Juan showed me how the quicksilver
was weighed and put up—7CJ pounds to each
flask,'the flasks theniselves weighing from tea
to fourteen pounds apiece. Seeing them ready
fdr market you wouldn’t believe they could be
so heavy; they are like the great weights of
an old-fashioned clock—such as stauds iu
many a Massachusetts farm-house even now—
say ten or eleven inches long by three or three
and a half through. If you are told to “heft”
one before you know its weight,you’ll probably
tiy it with one band, and—get laughed it. As
I came away an eight-mule team was just
starting out with a load—it didn’t make much
show in tbe wagon.

PROPOSALS.
.jpROPOSALS FOR MAIL LOOKS,
Post Office Department,
Washington, October 1(5,1800.
SEALED PROPOSALS for furnishing
Mail-Locks and Keys of new kinds, to be sub
stituted for the Looks and Keys now used on
the United States mails, will Is) received at this
Department until 9 o’clock A. M. the :td day of
EEBRUARY, 1870. It is desirable to obtain
Locks and Koys of a new construction lor the
exclusive use of the United States mails, and,
if practicable, invented expressly for that pur
pose. As tho exposure of a model Lock and
Key to public examination would Impair, if
not destroy, its utility for the mails, the De
partment prescribes no model for bidders, but
relics for its selection on the specimens of
mechanical skill and ingenuity which a lair
competition among inventors, hereby
invited, may develop. It is suf
ficient to describe the principal
requisites of a Mail-Lock, as follows: /self-
Locking uniformity, security, lightness, strength,
durability, novelty of construction and facility of
use. Two kinds of Locks and Keys; one of
brass and the other of iron, different in exte
rior form and interior construction or arrange
ment, are required: the Proposals should
specify separately the . price of each brass
Lock, each Key for same ; each iron Lock,
and eaeh Key for same. Duplicate samples of
each kind of Locks and Ko.vb proposed are
required to bo submitted with the Proposals:
one of each Samplo Lock to bo rivoted up and
finished, and another to be open or unriveted,
sO that its internal structure and arrangement
may easily bo examined. Everysampleshould
be plainly marked with the bidder’s name,
and, if the same or any part of it bo covered
by a patent, tho date of such patent and the
name of the patentee must a&o bo attached
thereto. ....
Tho internal plan or arrangement of tho
Locks offered, and tho particular shape of tho
Key requisite to open them, must not be like
any now or heretofore in use.
They must be warranted not to infringo
upon or conflict With any patented invention
of which tho bidder is not the patentee. Pre
ference will be given to a Lock, tho Key of
wliich has not been exposed to general obser
vation, or been publicly described, disclosed,
or suggested. , ,
A decision on the vanous specimens and
Proposals will be made on or before the 3d
dav of MARCH, 1870 ; and, unless the Post
master-General shall deem it to be best for the
interests of the Department to reject all the
Proposals and specimens submitted tinder this
advertisement (a right hereby exprcssedly re
served to him), contiacts will be entered into,
as soon thereafter as. practicable, with the
successful bidder whose Locks shall bo
adopted, for furnishing similar Locks and
Keys for l'onr years, as they may he required
and ordered. If mutually agreed to in writing
by the contractor and the Postmaster-
General for the time being, nbt less
than six months before its expiration,
the contract may he extended and
comtiaued for an additional term of four
years. But on and alter tho expiration of
either term of the contract, or on aud after
its rightful annlment at any timo, the Post
master-General shall have the right to con
tract with or cmx»ioy any other party to
furnish the same, or any other kind of
Locks and Keys; and if he shall deem proper,
to demand and receive from the late or de
faulting contractor all finished or unfinished
Iveys and the internal parte of the Locks con
tracted for, and all dies, gauges, and designs,
(which would enable others to make or forge
such Locks or Keys), in the possession of speh
contractor, who, after their .surrender to the
Department, shall be paid for the same,at such
pnee as may he ascertained by fair appraise
ment '
The contractor must agree and be able to
furnish, if required and ordered, 20,000 Brass
Locks and 3,000 Brass Keys within three
months from tho time of entering into con
tract, and 80,000 Iron Locks and 00,000 Iron
Keys within ten months from such time. But
the Postmaster-General will reserve the right
to increase or diminish, as the wants or inter
ests of tho service may demand, the quantities
of the Locks and Keys above specified, with,
a proportionate allowance ot time to furnish
them. , .
All the Locks furnished by the contractor
"must bo warranted fa keep in good working
order for two years in the ordinary use ot the
service, when not subjected to obvious vio
lence; such as become detective within that
timo to he replaced with perfect Locks with
out charge. All tho Locks furnished under
contract are to be, each, distinctly marked
“ U. 8. Mail,” in either sunk or raised letters,
and all the Keys are to bo numbered in tho
natural order; each Key having its appropri
ate number distinctly stamped upon ono side
of tho how, and “U. 8. Mail ” on the opposite
W The contractor will ho required to deliver
the Locks at- his own expense at the Post-
Oiliee Department, Washington, D. 0., put up
on sticks, forming separato bundles ot hvo
Locks each, and securely packed in wooden
boxes containing not more than two hundred
Looks each. The Keys are to he delivered to
an agent of thoDepartment.duly andspecially
authorized in each case to take charge of and
convey the same from the contractor’s manu
factory to the Department, where both Locks
and Keys are to he inspected and approved be
fore they shall be paid for.
The contractor will he required to give bond,
with ample security, in the sum of fifty thou
sand dollars, to he forfeited to the United
States as liquidated damages, in case of his
failure to faithfully perform tho contract,
either as to furnishing the supplies ordered
within a reasonable time, or as to guarding
the manufacture of the Mail Locks and Keys
with due privacy. integrity and care. ■
Ho Proposal will, therefore, bo accepted if
not accompanied with a bond of the penal
sum of Twenty Thousand Dollars, duly exe
cuted by the proposed sureties (-whoso respon
sibility must bb certified by a Judge ot a Court
of Record nearest to their place ot residence,
attested’by .the. Clerk of such: Court under the
sealthcreofj.and conditioned for their becom
ing responsible as sureties ou the required
bond for tho fulfillment of the contract, in case
such Proposals shall he accepted. The manu
facture of Mail Locks and Keys is, of neces
i sitv, a highly ' important and dehoatertcust
whi ch the Department will confide to no bidder
whose Proposals are not also accompanied
with testimonials of good character.
In deciding on the Proposals and specimens
the Postmaster-General may deem it expedi
ent to select the Brass Lock of one bidder and
the Iron Lock of another. He, theretore, re
serves the right ot contracting with different
individuals for such different kinds of Locks
as ho may select. • - , ,
Proposals shoula-be careiully sealed apa ad
dressed to the “Second Assistant Postmaster-
Gen eral,” and endorsed bn the envelope Pro
posals lor Hail Locks.” — T ■»<

SARATOGA WATER.
STAR
SARATOGA, NEW TORE,
The analyst* proves that the waters of the
Saratoga Star Spring's
have a conch larger amount of solid substance, richer in
medical ingredients than any other spring ha Saratoga,,
and shows what the taste indicates—nafnely, that it isiho
STRONGEST WATER.
It also demonstrates that the STAB WATEB contains
about
100 Cable Inches More of Gas
in a gallon than any other spring. It is this extra
amount of gas that imparts to this water its peculiarly
sparkling appearance, and renders it so very agreeable
to the taste. It also tends to preserve the delicious flavor
of the water when bottled, and causes it to uncork with
an efferreßeence almost eaual to Champagne.
Sold by the leading Druggists and Hotels though
out the country.
