Mutilated U. Currency.
Many persons are of the opinion that
Postmasters are in duty bound to ie
ceive all U. B. Currency, no matter
how much delacd, for postage, etc.
To settle this question, tlio Postmas
ter at Uumuerland, Maryland, wrota
to the department for information,
and the answer received will correct
the eroneous idea, so prevalent through
out tho country. The circular from
the Postolliec Department says r
'Postmasters km not required by
law to redeem, r accept in payment
of poi-toi'iiee dues, mouiiy ordors,
stamps, or stamped envelopes, any
currency tAic7i vwy he so mutilated at
to be unc urrent, nor is it any part of
their duty to receive, and transmit to
tha Treasury for redemtion, mutilated
currency belonging ta individuals, ex
cept as regular mail mailers forwarded
in the uu 3:1 1 manner at the ti-k of the
owner. Such packages, if addressed
to the Treasurer of the United States,
Washington, J). C, will be sent free
of postage, aud if tho same bo. register
free of tho registry fee.
'The necessities of the postal ser
vice are such that all fundi received
by postmasters must be kept in cur
re)ioj and passable money, so as to be
immediately available tor paying tho
drafts of the Department, money or
ders, nnd expenses of tlie service."
Tho Dispatch says that on Friday
fore-noon a solitary wild duck, seeing
a little clear water near tho end of
the K. fc P. dock lit there and swam
atuund contentedly. Shortly after
wards, an eagle come sailing over,
and swoopiug with lightning-like ra
pidity, seized the duck, which made a
piteous noise. Tho eagle was then
within a fdw feet of some men on the
dotlk, and chunks of coal were pitched
at it, but the etigle leisurely toro tho
duck to piccrs with its strong talons,
und then sailing along the bank drop
ped the pieces into the snow atidcamu
back us though to search for fresh
game. Had there been a gnu handy,
the eugle would have fared little
better than his quarry.
--On Saturday of last week, four

The German iii.nnifnchirera liava
been very sticcesltil in (lie production
of paper nnd cloth from corn husks
the machinery required for the mani
pulating prorcss being essentially tho
same as that employed In American
pnper mill working on rnprs. Tho
hunks, it appeal s, ure first boiled with
an alkali in tubular boiler, ns a result
of which the llbre of the husks ai d
found at the bottom of the boiler in ft
spongy eondiiion, filled with a ?ln
tinous substance or dough, which lat
ter Is pres,1 out from tho fibres by
hydraulic presses, leaving theGbrcsiu
Die siinpe of longitudinal threads, in
terspersed with dense masses of short
fibre. Linen that Is made from theso
long fibres' i said to furnish a very
good substitute tor the coarser kind
of flax aud hemp, while it is superior
to jule. gunny cloth and tho like. The
paper, lor which mojlly tho short
fibres are used tho long fibres con
stituting "tho material for spinning
is stronger titan paper of tlie same
weight i,.:'lo from linen or cotton
rags. The In.iilness nnJ firmness of
grain characterizing the paper thus
iiutdo nre said to exceed that of even
the best made English papers. lit
dnrabiliiy exceeds that of paper pro
duced from any other substance, and
it can be made extremely transparent
without sacrificing nny portion of it
strength. The fibre is easily worked,
cither nlouo or mixed with nigs, into
the finest writing pnpciv, nnd it readily
takes any Hut or color that may b
desired. The yield of the husks cm
ployed for this purpose is said to be
ns follows : thirty per cent of fibre,
ten of gluten and sixty of dough.
A Iientli Uiiieli l'm.le tlie Life
Insurance Agents.
About three months n0 a man
named Kadra, living iu tbo northeast
part of Ihc cit y, called upon Mr. Ten
"Winkle, n lU'c insurance ngent, and
stating t lint his lite was already in
sured for JO.OtiO, asked for a $10,000
policy in Ten ; . Winkle's company.
The inau was not well dressed, spoko
broken Kuglitli, and teemed .not to be
over well off in this world's goods.
"While the ngent was willing to issue
the policy, lie thought it strange that
a poor Inhering man like Xndra should
want to carry sttoh a'i insur.iuce, in
volving an exponso of it'iout $C00 per'
year. Mrs. Nsdra was along with her
jiusland, nnd was desirous that ha
should t.ike out the now policy. Ten
Winkle made some inquiries, nnd then
appointed a dtiy for Nadra to be ez
11 11 1 i 11 .1. Four or five of the best phy
sicians in Detroit examined (he can
didate, and they pronounced him jutt
what any observer would, a strong,
healthy, robust man, likely to live a
ee it c of years at least. The application
was sent cast to tho company, and in
cltn liiiie the policy c imo back. Nadrt
culled for it several times before it
came, and when it arrived he was
ready with bis money t pay tho pro
m.um. f?ix weeks alter, or six weeks
Bgo, Mrs. Xadra left home one morn
ing, aud lice husband, who wns not
feeling well, remained iu the house.
The children were out and iu during
the morning-, but wcro away to a
neighbor's during tlie afternoon. A
dmier at the next house saw Xadra
one.: during tho allernnon, but when
the wife returned ut evening she
luund him cold and dead. Coroner
Gnnu was called, nnd, as ho was given
to understand that the-death Involved
a lo-s of i lo.UO J to the insurance com
panies, he adjourned tho inquest.
The stomach was removed und sent to
Dr. Lyon lor analysis, in order that it
might be (ieteruiinnd whether his
(le..th was Ihc result of natural causes.
Dr. Met, raw conducted tlio postmor
