Nh. CLAWS PRACTICE rs. PRoscRrPrIos.--
When Mr.. Clay had been in the office OF Sec
rotary of State, under Mr.. Adams, for the great
or part of year, he was applied to for an Office
by warm friend of his. gentleman who had
occupied high station in one Of the Depart
ments under Mr.. Monroe's administration, and
received the following answer. Let the can.
did reader, whether Democrat or Wing, con-
trast the conduct of Mr.. Clay with that of any
of his successors, or of that of any Department
of the Government since, and refrain from la
menting, if he can, that the primitive practice
of Washington, Adams. and Clay, in appoint,
ments to office, should have been SO grossly
departed from:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2, 1895.

description, from the first clerk 10 messen

will occur. Our practice is 10 put the letter!
on file, and to consider the pretensions OF th'
applicants when the occasion occurs for making
an appointment. This is the only dispositi OF
| can now make with yours, We want some
additional clerks. acquainted with foreign Ian
guages, but it depends upon Congress TO gran
them or not.
Regrettins that cannot give you a more en-
courasing reply, am yours, &C.,
H. CLAY.

As You WERE.-When, in order tina. all
hands engaged in this office might keep the
Sabbath day of rest, we changed the publica-

opposed by or interfered with dozen of oul
patrons, We would at once change back again
We made the change in the first place believ.
ing that it would be approved BY our subscri
bers, and because il avoided the necessity o.
working on the Sabbath. We now learn thai
ten or dozen patrons have expressed them
selves opposed to our issuing on Sunday, some
for one reason and some for another, but the
most of them because they are unable to gel
the paper on that day-their places Of bust
ness at which the paper is left. being separate
from their residences. 1t is our intention, and
our duty too. to consult the wishes of those to
whom we look for support; and that there may
be no complaint against us nor reason given
why we should not be patronized, we change
our publication again 10 Monday. We want
ii understood, however, that we shall do no
work on Sunday; and should important intelli-
gence arrive on that day, Mondays paper will
be delayed to late hour of the me rning.

The editor OF the Democrat says that the
Wings manifested great solicitude" on Tues
day 10 learn the names OF the nominees OF The
Baltimore convention. He is mistaken. His
own friends were on thorns, pins, and nettles
during the whole day, and were sadly hoaxed
by the various rumors in circulation. IT is
true the Wings exhibited some curiosity to
know which one of the big or the little Loco
focos in the land had been selected for sacri-
fee in November. but we know of none of
them that troubled themselves about it.-Lou-
isrille Journal.
The faithful about here were also IA con-
siderable stew on yesterday to find out who
was the unfortunate man. and were badly
hoaIed by some wag putting in circulation 4
rumor that Gov. Whitcomb and Gov Shunl
were the nominees. We hope the Locofoct
Convention wont DO anything so desperate o
10 nominate these gentlemen. They piayet
that game once very successfully, we adult
but il wont win next heat.

ROMANCE OF GEORGIA MiSING.-A cores
poudent OF the National Intelligencer, writing
from Dahlonega, the most famous gold region
of Georgia, tells the following anecdotes:
After the State Legislature had divided the
Cherokee Purchase into lots and regularly num-
bered them, it was rumored about the country
that lot No. 1852 was great prize, and every
body was on tiptoe with regard to its distribu
ton by the proposed lottery. At that time
1852 figured in the dreams Of every Georgian,
and those figures were then far more popular
than the figures 81 40 have been in these lat
ter days. Among the more crazy individuals
who attended the lottery was one Mosely, who
had determined to draw the much talked OF
prize or purchase il of the winner, even though
it should be at the entire cost of his property,
which was quite large. The drawing took place
and 1852 came into the possession of poor
farmer named Ellison. Mosley Immediately
mounted his horse and fastened to Eilison's
farm. where he found the child of fortune fol-
lowing the plough. The would-be purchaser
made known the object of his visit, and Eli,
son only laughed at the impetuosity of his i'm
patient friend. Ellison said he was not anx-
ious to sell the lot, but If Mosley must have il,
he might have it for $50, 900. Mosley accept.
ed to the terms, and in paying for the lot sac
rificed the most of his landed and personal
property. The little property which was left
him he was compelled to employ in working
his mines; he labored with great diligence for
several years, bnt he could never make both
ends meet, for his mines Were not al all distin
guished for. their richness. In process OF
time he was compelled to sell 1852 for what it
would bring. and having squandered that rem
nant Of his former wealth, he left the country
