Knowing too Much .

We find in one of the Memphis papers the
following anecdote of man who knew too
much:-
During the administration Of President
Jackson, there was singular young gentle
man employed in tue public service at
Washngton:-H name was G., he was
from Tennessee, the son Of widow, neigh
Dor of the President, on which account the
old hero ha kind feeling for him, and al
ways got him out of his difficulties with
singular inlerferences were 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 a high officer, in an
swer to an application made by an old gen.
tIeman in Virginia or Pennsylvania for the
establishment Of new post office. The
writer cf the letter often used classical Ian.
guage; in this letter he said the application
could not be granted, in consequence Of the
applicants "proximity" to another Office.
When the letter came into G's hands to
copy, being great stickler for plainness, he
altered proximity" to "nearness to-" Ma
jor II. observed it, and asked e. why he al
tered his letters Why, replied G. because
| don't think the man would understand
what you mean by proximity. Well, said
Major Ii. try him; put in the proximity"
again.
In few days a letter WAS received from
the applicant in which he very Indignantly
said; d;-"That his father had fought for liher-
ty in the first, and he himself in the second
war of independence, and he would like to
know the name of the scoundrel who
brought the charge of proximity or any
thing wrong against him? There said g.,
did not say 500" g., carried bis improve
ment so far, that Mr.. Barry the Postmaster
General said to him, II don't want you here
any longer, you know too much" Poor G.
went out, but his old friend the General.
again got him another place. This time Go
ideas underwent change. He was one day
very busy writing. when stranger calling
in, asked him where the Patent Office vast
81 don't know" said G. "Can you tell
me where the Treasury Department is9" said
the stranger. "No," said G.. Nor the Presi.
dents housed" mo" The stranger finally
asked him if he knew where the Capital
vast "No," replied G. DO you live in
Washington, slra" said the stranger. "Yes,
sir" said G. Good Lord! and don't know
where the Patent Office, Treasury, Presi-
dents house and Capitol area" STRANGER"
said g. was turned out of the Post Office

fend in that way again. am paid for kee-

much, and if you find me knowing anything
more you may take my head"

A relation dies. The grief of the ladies

Taking the Census.

A correspondent who is engaged in ta-
king the census in Caaveras county, writes
as fellows;
"Your readers may think that taking the
census is an easy task, but all those who
enumerate the dear peops" in the mining
districts will bear testimony to this fact:
that it is a mighty difficult job to take the
decennial account of our country's inhabit-
ants and wealth, in California. 1t is almost
impossible to 90 over the mountains, down
gu.ches, along the banks of the rivers and
up the ravines, on horseback, and SO we trav
el on foot, under broiing sun, from cabin
to cabin, finding here and there solitary
miner or group of Chinese, hard at work
trying to find the "oro" The greatest diff
Guilty is to get along with tie "furrners."
Most of the Americans and the better class
of Germans, French and Italians readily un-
derstand what our business $, but the "Grea'
sers' and "Celeslas' are suspicious that we
are tax collectors in disguise, and Immediately
oblivious to anything which sounds like the
value of real estate" or ''persona' property"

thened with any of this worlds goods and
chattes. A man might take handred Chi
nese, and yet find not over half dozen diff
ferent names in the whole lot. They are all
"Ah It's" or "Ah longs" which would lead
one to imagine that among the countless
millions in the "fowering kingdom" there
were not over dozen patronynics. Their
names may be perfectly comprehensive to
the initiated, but are Greek to us.
will give yon specimen of the manner
we have to deal with them. On approach
ing group, with the census portf folio under
the arm, we are looked upon with unds-
guised susI con and alarm. Being reques
ted in our instructions to be polite and affa
bic to all, we bow very humbly, and make
our salutation, by saying, with winning
smile How de do, John! Very fine day,
john" Whereupon All Chang replies:
"Two men, no more; what you want John?'

man. One President wanee know how
many men in California New Y rk-aIl the

says John; "me have got license" "What
your name, John?' me no sabee name;"
and so on, until We find some Que who can
speak more English. After they become
convinced we are not after money, which
they love AS we'll as any Shylock, they will
give in their names, ages, and we give a
guess at their place Of birth. If you take
their word for it, none Of them have any
property; when asked if they have any real
estate-which question is ahead Of their
