Horrible Tragedy at the London PostOffice.

In a book published in Berlin, under the title of "Schultze and Muller in London," in the following passage : — "At a quarter to 6 we went to the great post-office. The squeeze was tremendous round the newspaper box, where the newsapers are thrust in bales ; and it is, indeed, on a grand scale, since The Times alone has 16,000,000 subscribers. I warned Schultze not to go so near the crush, but he did not hear me. As he was sfanding there there came a great shock of newspaper boys running with bales of newspapers and throwing them in at the window. A bale of newspapers hit Schultze on the head ; he loses his balance and tips forward into the bureau ; some officials immediately seize him, stamp him in the stomach, and the unhappy Schultze is despatched in an unpaid newspacket to the provinces. At this moment the box is closed with a snap. I rush against it and cry, 'Schultze! Schultze!' But it is too late. Your unhappy son-in-law was already packed in the post-cart. I ran into the bureau of the postmaster, and demanded back your son-in-law. 'Is your friend addressed ? ' he asks. — ' No,' I answered. — ' Very well,' says the Englishman ? 'M. Schultze will remain for six months in the bureau, and if no one applies for him, he will be burned as a dead letter. "
