A DEA1M.LTTEK liOMAME. BT WILLIAM E. CIRT15. It was very Vng ago as far back as IK15, if the old clerks in the New York Fost-ctlke remember correctly that she first began to come to the general delivery window a modest, plainly clad lady, with a sweet, sober face, and a gentle manner. She wa an regular u the moon, and like the moon came monthly, gt-Lerally on the tut Satur

Uut it wad never known
who brought th it stranire yellow en
velope, nor tlid any one efer get a glimp-e of its coutents, although its outside was examined with curioity a f:reat man- times. And the mysterious etter passed along like the thousands of daily messages of love and hate, of mortification and pleasure, cf god cheer and evil bidding the duns and remittances and promises to pay. Years passed. The delivery clerks were chacgi d one after another; souie of then, d.ed; othiri were promotcl; somewtntto other employment; but as each ielt he t'dd the story of the strange woman to his successor as a part of the ii structions of the office, and the new c:lis soua hocame familiar with her visiti as the months went Sh'i w. ',fte;i j i,;i.'jioi.ed; inuisitirM glance wer.' or..u Lit into her f-.--, nnd several times s!; was followed by curious fellows; but no one ever discovered whence she cau-e or whither 9he went. One day a new cleik who had conceived a scheme.to discover her i-!enti-ty told her he was not sure the letter belonged, to her, as he knew other latlies in the city of the same name, and asked her if there wis not some one in the teighborhrjod whom she could call to identify her. "I am a stranger in this part of the city, sir," was her rjuitt, dignified reply, but I have been hcre a grol many times and never before was aked to prove my imlentity. If it will le any satisfaction to you I will describe the appearance of the letter I expect but wait ; I am quite sure It will correspond with this one" and she took from a little ret ''."ale she always carried the one she had received a month before. A whole generation had passed away. Men and women had been born and buried, but still tho queer letters came, and were called for by the queer woman. The clerks in the Fost-office had iieard of her from those who had preceded them, and her mysterious appearances hael gained a romance with age, and strange stories that had been invented by the clerks long before were told of her as true. Her face was smooth and round and ,
pi.icia w nen snc nrst came, but it was gotting wrinkled, and her hair was peU ling gray. One time, only once for twenty years, as nearly as could be romemlered, she failed to come, and one, two, three letters wjjro waiiit for her in the pigeon-hole. , The clerk did not advertise them nor send them to the Dead-letter Office with the rest, for he knew if Maria liusseil was living she would come for them in time, and if she w as dead nothing could be gained by hurrying them off to the great mail
morgue where all unclaimed Vi r oy.
Jiut after four months her familiar face appeared at the window nssJn, and the

"she told me," he said, th.it&he was in good cirvtjnitsnce, and was
not just now in want of anv a-istan-e.
but, with our permission, she would remember our kind o?er. and if evtr in need would not hesitate to call upon us." An 1 if she had been a heroine formerly she became a goddess from that hour out a godt!fs in an old-fashioned

What a temptation they were. " . The chief of the delivery offlce ordered them adverti.-ed. No," said the clerks. "She will come for them. She knows they are here. . IShe must be sick of something.

Several Maria Ku.ell s turned up to answer it, and were ery much disgusted to find they weren't the person wanted; but it brought no clew to the curious old lady and her curious correspondent. Four, five, six years went by, and each month brought as regularly as the month came round a Ktt r for Maria H. Hus-eil. The reverence with which these K-tters were treated was a new
fexture in the Host-office Department. It was a satisfaction even to handle them, and feel of the thin, linipsy enclonre, and with what aony cf interest they were advertised, 3r?d finally sent away to the Dead -letter Olllce tarli thirty lays to le deposite! with the .th-rs jut like them that had gone before.

Amng the visitors was Isaac I'armenter, a hatter of Newark Avenue. She walked into his store about three
procured Sl.'oo. from William
Hughes ?l(Ai, and from various other residents and politicians sums ranging from to j.'is). She introduced a pretty young lady to William Farrier, to whom report says young Farrier was U'trothe.l, and to whom was to be given a wedding gift of ?K,tsA, and a handsomely furnished house. On Thursday Mr. I'armrnter received a letter from Philadelphia saying that Mrs. Hanson, alias (iilison, ws v;sitir.i Mr. Farrier's residei.ee in Jersey City! He quietly communicated w ith Police Inspector Murphy, and it was arranged that Mr. P.triueiitcr should see the woman. He identified her at om-e.and on the same day she started suddenly
for Philadelphia. Mr. ParmenP r com. u:. Plicated his discovery to .Justice Kee.se and thence to the Farrier family. It fell like a thuinh-rbolt. Her arrest was at once determined on, and Inspector Murphy captured her in her luxurious apartments in Philadelphia. H r husband, Henry Cibson, who is said to be an expert in confidem-. operations, was with her. The policy yesterday opened the envelope supposed to contain the necessary papers to prove her claim to the projicry in Germany, ami found that it contained two sheets of blir.k paper. Mr. Gibson is said to have s nt the telegrams signed Cardinal McCIoskey.

The next day she ran away with a married lightning-rd ped dler with a hare lip and six children. ISurHri'jton Iliwk-tye.
