SECRETARY CoRwIN.-The Dayton Gazette
relates the following story of Secretary Cor win
Its humor is characteristic:
IL hioHu vi ouIS WIN saw HIN Tue UtHeT udy
| at Lebanon, he gave most amusing, and we
doubt not, truthful account of the condition of
things in the Treasury Department, when he en- :
tered upon the duties of Secretary. The Clerks,
he estimates, were sick, on an average, about half
| the time-but it struck him as somewhat remarka-
| BILE that, much as they were sick, none OF them
| died. The fact was apparent at glance, that
| they did very little work for the public, and the
| inference was irresistible, that something must
| be done for them. Accordingly, the Secretary
| turned physician, and began to prescribe for the
| invalids. He issued an order that all Clerks who
were absent from their desks certain number
of days, say two, on account of sickness, should
| submit to proportionate deduction from their re-
spective salaries; and that all who were absent
longer, say one week, would be required either to
die or resign.
The prescription worked like charm, and in
short time there was not sick clerk in the
whole department A healthier set of men than
they are now, Mr. Corwin declares cannot be found
anywhere.
