incidents. The following is told us of
the Secretary OF State:
Among the host OF besiegers in the
pursuit OF place, was Il woman who was
extremely anxious that her husband
should be made postmaster in some
country village. She was most per-
severing in her solicitations, in season
and out Of season. She stood at the
Sccretary's door when he came out OF
his room in the morning she intercept
cd him OH his way to his meals she
followed hin 10 his lodgings at night.
On one occasion she remained there
unusually late 1.-The Governor listened to
her as long as he could, when he requst-
cd her to excuse him, but she fingered
AT length every gentleman, but one had
gone, and the Secretary took Of his
shoes. Still she stood her ground,
quite unmoved. Growing desperate,
the Secretary finally rose from his seat
and proceeded to strip. off his coat ; then
turning to the woman, he exclaimed
" Madam, am going to bed, and u you
don't withdraw, | shall write to Mrs.
Marcy about you" The lady immedl-.
ately retired-irom the room.-N. Y
