OF which wanted - ray Uncle Sans agent,
Mr. Hand. the chief clerk in the Patent Office,
and accordingly presented II, but Mr.. Hand in u
very general manner, said he could not take il
he could no, pay me back the ten dollars.
| AMI here ran agains, snag! But. said Mr..
! Hand, would like 10 have you 60 and present
this 10 the Trcasurer, and SEQ what the result
will be, for have never had the like happen
before. Well, was ignorant Of matters
and things the great city, rs Jack Downing
was of the country. when he commenced his ex-
petition, was willing, of course, to run about
little and ii | could not learn something. But
vet euid get along very well, for could not
help thinking ali the time that Uncle Sam had tho
advantage ct me. However, after moments

that I owed him 500, and had his noto for

t dculous as will appear, he refused to take the
note. and pay mo ten dollars. And when l en-
