A "REMINISCENCES.

During the Administration of President Jack
son, there was singular young man employed in
the public service at Washington. His name was
g.; he was from Tennessee, the son OF widow, a
neighbor of the President on which account the
old hero had kind feeling for him, and always
got him out of his difficulties with some of the
higher officials, to whom his singular interference
was distasteful.
Among other things, it is said of him, that while
he was employed in the General Post Office, on
one occasion he had to copy letter of Major II.
high officer in answer to an application made by
an old gentleman of Virginia or Pennsylvania,
for the establishment of new Post Office. The
writer Of the letter often used classical language;
in this letter he said the application could not be
granted in consequence Of the applicants 'prox-
unity to another office. When the letter came
into G.'s hands to copy, being great stckler for
plainness, he altered "proxmity" to ''nearness
to-" Major II. observed it and asked G. why he
altered his letter? Why, replied G., because
don't think the man would understand what you
meant by proximity. Well. said Major H., try
him; put in the 'proximity" again In few
days letter was received from the applicant, in
which he Indignantly said:-"That his father had
fought for liberty in the first, and he himself in
TIE second war Of independence, and he would

THE AILANTHUs TREE. The annual war has al.
ready been commenced upon the ailanthus A
correspondent contends that the blossoms of the
alanthus produce malaria, and says that hundreds

flowers; and he hopes that the Council wilframe an
ordinance requiring all such poisonous trees to be
cut down. We have always regarded the outcry
