CoLD.-The Thermometer stood at 10
Wednesday morning.

OFFICE HUNTING Even down her some
stories of Washington customs pen citrate.
Here is one told by Brigadier General. You
remember that when the war opened, a large
army grew up very rapidly without organi-
cation OF any sort; an aggregation OF town
meetings, as Gov. Andrew very happily said ;
that the Government woke up to a realizing
sense of the deficiency; that for some time
thereafter it appeared as though the whole
force of the administration was directed to
the making brigadier generals, until it was
rroposed to organize division to be compos-
ed entirely of persons mounting a star on the
shoulders. Well, Just at that time very
worthy citizen of New York called upon the
President to solicit a second heutenant's
commission for his son. - Very sorry very
sorry. indeed responded Abraham, - but
there's heap of applicants for those places,
and there amt any vacancies. You ought TO
have something-that's so-you deserve 1t.
But I'll tell you we're making good many
brigadiers just now-perhaps the young man
might be willing to accept such place. Mr..
Cameron will give you commission, II you
can make that do"
And this is another. A politician who had
struck pretty high at first, but who failed OF
success at every point, found himself little
time since very hard pushed for cash, and
was found by the administration TO be not
only very seedy individual, but very
great bore. The President endured until he
could endure no longer. One day as Cab,
met meeting was about to break up, the Pres
ident called bis Secretaries to attend to one
thing more. " Gentlemen quoth he,
''some thing must be done for this man,
johnson. He hasn't got money enough to get
out of town with and if he had be would mt
60, unless the rebels began to shell the place.
He's got to be maintained somehow; now
what dye sav?''
Mr.. Seward shook his head Mr.. Chase
had nothing. Mr.. Blair had long since
disposed of the subject. Mr.. Smith had no
EN- loyment; and so everybody turned to the
War Secretary for an answer to the Prcsi-
dents question
Well" sand Mr.. Cameron, &" don { see
but we will have to let things take the usual
course. I'll make him Paymaster -
