At slope No. 1 there 18 a mule called ‘‘Fox,’’ who can not be hurt. He is the chaining mule at the bot- tom of the slope, and his work is to bring cars to the chain trom the end- lessrope and to take empty cars back. Heis a wise mule and has remarkable instinct. The rope has broken once or twice and the mule stepped to one side to escape the cars that came rushing: back. He knew by sound that something was wrong. He bears a charmed lite and has never hada scratch, while men have been killed time and again nearhim.

The department finds this a most troublesome class ot cases to deal with, the originators protecting themselves very completely, as a rule, against prosecution. The post office department. spent months trying to break up the scheme ot a man who contracted te send Pianos and organs from his manu- factories in Maine and Calitornia to any part of the country on payment of $2 or $3 or $4 to defray the cost of boxing the mstruments. The ar- ticles were received according to con tract, but they proved to be cheap toy pianos and organs, the expense of boxing which was about ten per cent of the sum remitted in such cases Another fellow made a lot ot money by boxing and torwarding very cheap mouth-organs to all who Patromzed him through the mails. The proprietor of a smde but harmless cure for deafness reaped a harvest of $30 to $40 a day tor a long time. His headquarters were in New York. The president of a bogus medical college did a pros- perous business in selling spurious diplomas, but as the men who bit at his bait were contessedly as great swindlers as he was, the department Was a long time getting athim. Tis was a swindle pure and simple.
