"iVhenevci I rend in the paper of the

"Those clerks nrc forgotten. They are
hurieil. 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.
Once in the service they have remained
in the maintenance uf the system. Hut
for the beuetieent protection of the civil
service they would be hunted out, named
nnd numlH-red and t allied like victims
selected for the block ami summarily
decapitated.
"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. '1 liey are drift
ers. They flout because others float with
them nnd carry them along on the sur
face of the ollicial stream.
"They work, of course. Everybody
nowadays in the departments works.
They limy lie food workers. Every clerk
thinks he or she works harder than his
or her fellow clerk. Itut their ipiamity
and quality of woik are not the rcusnu for
their ollicial existence, as is the case in
outside employments. Anybody else
could do their work just ns well mid, in
all probability, better.
"Some liuve liecn in the service for 20

constitute a class distinct to themselves.
They wouldn't admit this, however, if
they were conscious of it. Itut if an olli

Washing riolbea la India.
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

HE TRIED TO STEAL THE JEWELS
FROM A DEAD DUCHESS.
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

found any number of Americans there

English, regardless of the fact that fas
tilian was the current language of the
