KNOWING 100 Much.

During the ADMINISTRATION of President
jackson there was singular young gen.
tlenan employed in the public service at
Washington. His name was G he was
from Tennessee, the son Of widow, q
neighbor Of the President, on which ac-
count the old hero had kind feeling for
him, and always got him out Of his diff
culties with some of the higher officials, to
whom his singular interference were dis
tasteful.
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
a letter Of Major H,'s, a high officer, in
answer to an application made by an old
gentleman in Virginia, for the establish
nent Of new post-ofice. The writer of
the letter often used classical language
in this letter he said that the application
could not.be granted in consequence of the
applicants "proxinity" to another Office
When the letter came into G.'s hands to
copy, being great stic&ler for plainness.

altered his letter

by 'proYimity.''
WELL said Major II, try him; put in
proximity again
In few days letter was received from
the applicant in which he very indignantly
said That his father had fought for liberty
in the first, and himself in the second war
of independence, and he would like to
have the name of the scoundrel who brou't

wrong against BIN ?

Mr.. Barry, the Postmaster General, said
TO him, i do not want you here any longer,

The stranger finally asked him if he

the stranger.
