MoSEY.-A gentleman who had paid
his fare on board the steamer Northern
Indiana was leaving the boat for the
shore with his port monnaie in his hand.
While on the plank, by some means, he
dropped it into the lake. Thinking, no
doubt, be should not see it again, he of.
fered any one who would recover it one
half its contents. On hearing this
three or four persons belonging to the
boat. attempted its recovery. After
diving three or four times, three of
them give it up as bad job; but the
fourth-the barber-not willing to give
it up, dove seven times without success.
Thinking there was no luck in odd
numbers. and anxious for the prize, he
determined to try once more-made the
eighth dive, and after remaining under
so long that the bystanders feared he
had lost himself, his hand appeared
above the water, with the prize which
was hailed with loud and long cheers
from the crowd. The gentleman tue I
to his word, counted out to the lucky
barber one-half the money, which.
to between four and five han.
dred dollars.-BE Repu5l;c.

MILITARY OFFICERS IN CIVIL SERVICE.
IN late discussion before Congress, Mr..
Stanton, of Tennessee, made the follow.
ing suggestive remarks:
SIR, does the honorable gentleman know
that there are three scientific corps be-
longing to the Army-the Typographical
the Ordnance, and the Engineer Corps
Does ne know that these three corps con-
sist OF one hundred and twenty five Off
GERS; and does he know that out of these
one hundred and twenty five officers sew
enty are quartered upon the civil service
OF the Government
repeat that more than one-half of all
the officers composing these three corps
are employed in various ways in the civil
service of the Government, where none
bat civilians should be engaged. Some
Of these very men, whose regular ARM
pay, as will be seen by the Blue Book
does not exceed 5000 per year, out Of
these and other appropriations which we
make from year to year, receive enough
to swell their yearly allowances to $1,000.
70 wonder civil service is desirable to
them in preference to that for which they
are educated.
