"iVhenevci I rend in the paper of the unknown dead of Washington, I think nt llii' unknown dead in ihe executive departments." said a chief clerk.

They are like two or three cards in n deck; when the pack is shuf fled, they shutlle along with the rest. They are to be found by the dozens in the dif ferent departments, men nnd women alike. How they sot in no one but them selves known. Most of thoin are old clerks. They stay because they consti tute one of the components of a system.

"The influence! which secured their appointment have Jong siuce passed to the other side or liecu snuffed out of political favor or power. They were put at desks, nud they remained obscure and overlooked. Even their chief may not know how Ihey cot there. He found them iu his division when he took up the reins, nnd he retains them us tixtures. not unlike the desks nnd chandeliers. "They constitute a curious set. these dead alive clerks. Some may still have what they consider 'inlluonce' or a back ing of some sort upon which to rely case of need and trouble, but most of them have nothing tnngihlf upon which to base this assumption.

The following extract is from the letter of a young medico n India: "I have just extricated myself from an awkward fix. The washer people here take your best shirt to a stream, dip It In the water nnd then smack it hard on a bowlder, repenting the process again and again till a hole is made in the linen. Then nnd not before do they regard that particular article as finished. I objected to this and told my washer man that I didn't want bole knocked into my clothes. 'Itut, master, how, then, am I to know when they are finished" he asked. I couldn't knock any sense Into his head, o I tried to get somebody else to do my work. But nobody else would do It for me. I discovered that a sort of tribal trades' union exists here. Each kind of work is done by a particular caste. One caste limits itself to boot clean ing, nnd the only scope which another allows for its genius is carrying. If yon badly treat the man who cleans your boots or sack li tin. he reports you to his tribe, and unless you clean your boots yourself they will ever remain dirty, for no other member of that tribe will clean them for yon, nor will anybody else, for the work is not consistent witb the dig nity of the currying, washing or any oth er caste. "There being no help for it, I had to go back to my old washerman, and it was only by bribes and entreaties that I could get him to forgive inc. "Now, I want yon to send me two doz en shirts anil let them lie of the strongest finality. If he must knock holes In them. I am determined that he will have to work haid. It is possible that I may have some further trouble with him, for If the holes take a long time coming he may complain thnt he cannot finish my washing. lnest ignorant fellows always re quire some sign by which their actions are to be guided. "When one of them is eating, how do you think he is to tell when he has had enough? When he takes no further in terest in his food, you might say.

He Thoaaht TTaat All the Oranmeata That Adoraea- the Corpse as It Lajr la State Were llarled With th I Bodr (sht la a Trap. Only a few weeks after her return from j Brussels, where she had seen her son, ' then recently crowned king of the Bel gians, did the Pilches Augusta of Sach-sen-Coburg die. In her seventy-sixth year, I Nov. Id. 1831. The admiration and lore this admirable princess had Inspired drew crowds to visit the body as it lay in state In the residence at t'obnrg prior to the funeral, which took place on the l!th l.efore daybreak by the light of torches. Tile funeral was attended by men and women of all classes eager to express their attachment to the deceased nnd respect for the family. A great deal was said and fabled con cerning this funeral. It was told and be 'ievod that the dowager duchess tied been laid iu the family vault adorned with her diamond rings and richest netkl ices. She was the mother of kings, and the vulgar Is'lieved that every royal and princely house w ith w hich she was allied had con tributed some jewel toward the decora tion of her body. Among those who v ere present at the funeral of the Pucl.ess Augusta was a Bavarian named Andreas Stnbenrniich, an artisan then rt t'oburg. He was the son of an arnioier, followed his father's profession nnd had settled at Ooburg. Stulicnraucli had been one of the crowd that had passed by the bed on which the duchess lay in state and had cast covet ous eyes at the jewelry with which the body was adomed. lie had also attended the funeral and had come to the conclusion that the duch ess was buried with all the precious arti cles he had noticed nlont her as exposed to view before the burial and w ith a great deal more which popular pssip asserted to have been laiiPin the cotliu with her. The thought of nil this waste of wealth clung to his mind, jiud Stubonratich re solved to enter the mausoleum and rob the body. The position of the vault, far removed and concealed from the palace, suited his plans, and he made little account of locks and bars, which were likely to prove small hindrances to an accomplished locksmith. To carry his plan into execution he re solved on choosing the night of Aug. 1H l!l, y. 2. On this evening he sat drink ing in a low tavern till 10 o'clock, when he left, returned to his lodgings, where he collected the tools he believed he would require, a candle and a flint and steel, nnd then betook himself to the mausoleum. The tomb was closed by an iron gate formed of strong bars eight feet high, radiating from a center in a sort of semicircle and armed with sharp spikes. He found it impossible to open the lock, and he was therefore' obliged to climb over the gate, rcgnrdlcss of the danger of tearing himself on the bnrbs. Here he found n double stout oaken door in the floor that gave access to the vault. The two valves were so closely dovetailed into one nuothcr and fitted so exactly that he found the utmost dith culty in getting a tool between them. lie tried his false keys In vain on the lock, and for n long time his efforts to pry the Imk open with n lever were equally futil. At length by means of a wedge he sncciedcd in breaking a way through the junction of the doors into which he could insert a bar, nnd then he heaved nt the vnlvc wiih all his might, throwing his weight on the lever. It took him fully an hour before he coull break open the dtor. Midnight -truck ns the valve, grating on its hinges, was thrown back. Then, leaning over the opening, holding a m1c in both hand. he endeavored to feel the depth of the vault. In so doing he lost his balance. nnd the weight of the pole dragged him down, and he fell between two collins nine 1" feet below the floor of the upper hanibcr. There he lay for some little while tini-onscious, stunned by his fall. When be came to himself, he sat up, felt about w ith bis hands to ascertain where he was and considered what next should be done. Stubeiirnuch was not the man to feel either respect for the dead or fear of aught supernatural. With both bauds he sustained the heavy lid of the cotlin aa he peered in, and the necessity for using both to support Hip weight prevented Ilia profane hand from being laid on the re mains of nn nugnst and pious princess. Stubcnrauch did indeed try more than .moo to sustain the lid w ith one band that he might grope with the other for the treasure he fancied must be concealed there, but the moment he removed one hard the lid crashed down. Pisnppoir.toil in his expectations, Stu bcnrauch now replaced the cover and be gan to consider how he might escape. But now, and only now, did he discover that It was not possible for him to get nut of the vault Into which he had fallen. The pole on which he had placed hi confidence was too short to reach the opening above. Every effort made by Htubcnrnm h to scramble out failed. He was caught in n trap and what a trap! Nemesis had fallen on the ruffian nt once on the scene of his crime and con demned him to betray himself. Morning broke. It was Sunday and a special festival nt Coburg. for it was the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of the duke, so that the town was in lively commotion, nnd park nnd palace vere also in a stir. Btnlienranch ant up nnd waited In hopes of hearing some one draw nenr who would release him. About U o'clock iu the morning he beard steps on the gravel nnd nt once began to about for assistance. The person who hnd approached ran awny in nlarm, declaring that strange and unearthly noises issued from the ducal mausoleum. The guanl was ap prised, but would uot nt first believe the report. At length one of the sentinels was dispatched to the spot, and he re turn etl speedily with the tidings that there certainly was a man in the vault. He had peered through the grating at the entrance and had seen the door broken open nnd a crowbar and other articles lying about. The gate was now opened and Stuhenrnucli removed In the midst of nn assembled crowd of angry and dis mayed sjieotators. lie was removed to prison, tried and condemned to IS months with hard labor.
