Mutilated U. Currency.
Many persuns are of the opinion that
Fustraasters are in duty bound to ie
ceive all U. H. Currency, no matter
how much defacd, for postage, etc.
To settle this question, tho Postmas
ter at Cumberland, Maryland, wrote
to the department for information,
and the answer received will correct
the eroneous idea,so prevalent through
out tho country. The circular from
the I'ostoflico Department strys:1
'T'osttnasiers um not required by
law to redeem, ar accept in payment
of postoliice dues, inouuy orders,
stamps, or stamped envelopes, any
currency which vwy he so mutilated as
to be uncurreut, nor is it any part of
their duty to receive and transmit to
the Treasury for redemtion, mutilated
currency belonging to individuals, ex
cept as regular mail matters forwarded
iu the u u sal manner at the lisk of the
nwnur. Such packages, if addressed
to the Treasurer of the United Utatei,
Washington,.!). V., will be sent free
of postage, aud if tho same be. register
free of tho registry fee.
"Tho necessities of the postal ser
vice are such that all fundi received
by postmasters must be kept in cur
rency and pasmble money, so as to be
immediately available fur paying tho
drafts of tho Department, money or
ders, and expenses of the service."
The DUputch says that on Friday
fore-noon a solitary wild duck, seeing
a little clear water near tho end of
the 11. & V. dock lit there and swam
around contentedly. .Shortly after
wards, an eagle como sailing over,
and swoopiug with lightning-liko ra
pidity, seized the duck, which made a
piteous noise. Tho eagle was then
within a fw feet of some men on the
doilk, and chunks of coal were pitched
at it, but tho eagle leisurely toro tho
duck to piccrs with its strong talons,
and then sailing along the bank drop
ped the pieces into tho snow nndcamo
back us though to search for fresh
game. Had there been a gun handy,
iho eagle would have fared little
better than his quarry.

The German liianufnct.irera ImYa
been very successful in the production
of paper and cloth from roru husks,
the machinery required for the mimi
pul.itbly process being essentially tho
same as that employed in American
fnper mills working on rags. The
liuk, il appeals, ure first boiled with
an alkali in tubular boiler", as a result
of which the llbn s of the husks am
found at Ibe bottom of Ihe boiler iu
spongy eondiiioiit filled with a fln
linotts substance or dough, which Inl
ter is presfo,! out from tho fibres by
hydraulic presses, leaving the fibres iu
(he shape of longitudinal threads, in
ti-rspersed wilh dense masses of short
fibre. Linen that is made from theso
long fibres is said to furnish a very
E0d substitute lor the coarser kindi
of flax and hemp, while it is superior
to jute, gunny cloth and tho like. The
pnper, lor which inojily the short
fibres are used tho loi.g fibres con
stituting the material for spinning
is stronger than paper of the same
weight rr.aJo Irom linen or cotton
ras. Tho hardness nnJ firmness of
grain characterizing tho paper tlmt
made are said to exceed that of even
the best made English papers. Ill
durability eveeeds that, of paper pro
duced from any other substance, aud
it can be matte extiviuoly transparent
without sacrificing any portion of its
strength. The fibre is easily worked,
cither n lone or mixed with rngj, into
the finest writingpapeiv, nndit readily
lakes auy lint or color that may be
desired. Tho yield of the husks em
ployed for this purpose is said to be
as follows: thiny per cent of fibre,
ten of gluten and sixty of dough.

About three months pgo a man
named Kadra, living in tho northeast
part of Iho city, called upon Mr. Ten
"Winkle, a life insurance ngont, nud
stating that his lite was already in
cured for to.'JuO, asked for a $10,031)
policy in Ton , Winkle's eompauy.
The iiinu was not well dressed, spoko
broken Englitli, and teemed not to be
over well ofl" in this world's goods.
While the rtgciit was willing to issue
the policy, lie thought il strange that
1 a poor laboring man like Xadra should
want to carry suoli tfi iusiir.iuce, in
volving an oxponso of ii'iout $G00 per
year. Mrs. Natira was along with her
husband, and was desirous that ho
should take out the now policy. Ten
Winkle made tsnine inquiries, and then
appointed a day for Nadra to be ex
niiiiii'.'.l. Four or five ol the best phy
sicians in Detroit examined the can
didate, and they pronounced him jiifct
what any observer would, a strong,
healthy, robust man, likely to live a
ec ji cot years nt least. The application
was sent cast to tho company, and in
dir.-lime iho policy came back. Nadr i
Mlied for it several times before it
came, and when It arrived he was
rnaily with his money to pay the pro
m.iim. Sis weeks alter, or six weeks
ago, Mrs. Xadra left home one morn
ing, ami her husband, who was not
feeling well, remained iu tlio house.
The children were out aud in during
the morning, but were away to is
neighbor ilitrin the afternoon. A
1 .borer at the next house saw Xadra
ouoo during tho allernoini, but when
tlio wife let tuned at owning sho
lound l.iiu cold anil dead. Coroner
Giuiii was called, and, as ho was given
to iimleisd iiid that the death involved
a lo-s of $ld,U0J to the imuraiicecoiu
ptiuic;. ho n.ljounicd tho inquest.
The stomach was removed and scut to
l)r. Iaoii for analysis, in order that it
might bo lieiciiiiinoil whether his
du.it h was the result of natural causes.
r. Mcfiraw conducted tho post mor
