An Hour in the Dead Letter Office.
A female correspondent of Lift: Illustrated
gives the following aocount of a visit to the
Dead Letter Office at Washiugton ;
We had been fortunate enough to procure i
the entree to this place through special favor
. . . . I
aud influence r although as a general thing,
no visitors are admitted. It was a large,
light room, witji two or threodes-ks, at which
-were seated aged ofieials in silent cccupation
among literal drifts of letters. The walls
were lined on evtiy side with huge mail
sacks which' had boon returned full of uu-
claimed eni.stles. from nivriads of mist nrTn-pPt I .
- , t ,
there might have been fifty or a hundred of j
thce sacks, and each of these probably con-
tained thousauds on thousands of letters. I
"How rapidly you dispose of theia i" said i
I, -watching the speed with which the clerks
tore open the epistles, glanced over them to
see that no uralts, checks, cr other nnpor-
taut documents were inclosed, and then threw -f
, , , , ,
thtm cron au immense heap of opened letters.;
. 11 t
at their fee. i
'It is all in Lalit, ma'am.
fcaid the cen- ;
, . i
stomed to I
tlem nearest me. ' e are nccu
open a certain number daily, and to those
who da not understand the expedition and
accuracy with which we work, it would seem
almost incredible"
As he spoke, a tiuy gold ring rolled from
the folds of a rose-tinted letter, whose pi'ges
were evidently written by a delicate female
hand. "A child's ring," he said, taking it
up; "would you liketo look at it, ma'am V"
took it in my hand it was a fairy cir
clet of virgiu gold, with the words "Mary to
K; V.," engraved within and wondered who
the Mary was, and whether tho little E. V ,
who never received the tir.j gift, was dead or
living.
JIcanwLilo tho cLtk had been
14
rajid note of the signature, direction, etc.
"What will you do with it I inquired,
returning the ring to his tare.
"We lay all such things aside, in case they
should be called for."
"Aud are they often redeemed?"
"Not often not ouce in a hundred iustau
ces," he replied, . taking a little gold dollar
from beneatd the seal of another letter, and
laying it caiefully under the desk.
Wo stood in silence, regarding the pile of
opened letters, which was growing higher ev
ery moment. It was a strange medley of
hand wiitirjg.
'0h, how I shonld like to read these let- j
ters !" said I, involuntarily.
The official smiled. ''That is what all the
ladies say. It would be almost impossible to
preserve our charge from the curiosity of the
female sex, if fortunately our rules did not
protect 4s from many visitors."
"But do yju never real them ?''
"Never, unless they seci very important,
or contain enclosures of amount. It is all
we can do to keep up with the arrival of the
dead mails. If we were to stop and read olo
letter in a hundred, we should be lamentably
behindhand ; besides the privacy of these let
ters is a point of honor with us. We have
no more right to read them here, unless it is
necessary, than to pry into any other perso
nal eecrets."
Here one of the clerks leaned over
nn .
handed our companion a tiny package.
f'Froru ouo of the letters," ho said; "I
thought the lady might feel lttcrested iu it.
It was a single curl oi goideu Lair, tied
with a bit of r-ink ribbon, and wrar ned
little nioA nf rn.ir. on whifth was written.
- t " t 1 -
"Baby's Hair I'
I knew the history of that letter in an in
staut ; though I had nover looked on . its
folds, I could 6ec the fair young mother par
ting the sunny tress from the infant head,
and placing it, with half a smile and half a
tear, within the closely written page that was
to glad the heart of a far away husband. And
he never received the letter. Perhaps he died
under the mighty shadow of Sierra Xaveda ;
Perhaps the turf of some Mississippi vallay
lay cold and close on fcis pulseless heart,
while ehe, tho faithful wife, was growing
more sad, less hopeful with every day that
brought do answering word..
"Baby's hair 1" I could not bear that the
bright curl should b thrown carelessly among
the host of letters; it seemed liko desecration
"May I keep this little lock ?"
"Certainly, if you like."
And I placed it carefully iu my reticule,
with gentle hand. I know tot whether the
sorrowing mother's heart is breaking, day by
day, but certain I am that there is an invisi
ble bond of sympathy between her soul and
mine, clasped by a link of curling, silky gold
"baby's Lair!"
It would be iu vain to attempt to chronicle
tho numerous enclosures which dropped from
