Ex-PREsIDEsT FILLMoAE's PRESENT FOR
SALE.-Persons who are fond Of making pres
ents to public servants might have received an
instructive lesson on Saturday, at Bleecker's
auction rooms. A carriage Of elaborate work
manship, and harness to match, was offered for
sale, and one of its great attractions was that
it had belonged to President Fillmore. IL
had been presented to him shortly after be
cane into the Presidency, BY some of his New
York friends, and on leaving for Europe, after
failing to get nomination for the Presidency,
be sold the carriage to lady, and put the
money into service Of plate which cost lees
to keep and at all times would be convertible
into cash. The lady having derived all the
comfort from the carriage which she could at
ford to indulge herself with, determined to sell,
as Mr. Fillmore did before her, and according
" sent il to Mr.. Bleecker. The carriage was
sold to Mr.. Joyce for 1891. From glimpse
we had Of the equippage, we incline 70 think
very little vas allowed by the buyer on account
Of The odor Of nationality which hung around
it. Had it never been used by any butthe COM
moner sort of people, it would have scarcely
brought less. Il is but fair to Mr.. Fillmore,
however, to say that there was no reason to
suppose that il would have brought any more
if had never belonged TO him.-EpeAIHg Peat.
