BILLINGS on the Draft.

There are some nice points in drafting
operations which are extensively dis.
cusscd in the red-ribbon circles. The
most lucid explanation off few of these
is given by Josh Billings:
Wilder wimmin, and their only son IL
kemp, provided the widdcr's husband has
already sarved years in the war and IL
willing to 90 agin; believe the supreme
corte has decided this thing forever.
Once more: If man should run ava
with his draft, he probably wouldn't ever
be allowed to stand the draft agin; this
looks sevear at lust site, but the more yu
look at it the more yu can see the wis
dom into it,
Once morely: Xempts are those who
have been drafted into the stait przzcn
for tryin to get an honnst living bi sup.
porting wives at onst; also them people
who are crazee and unsound on tht.goOsc
also all newspaper correspondents and
fools in general.
One morely agin; No substitutes will
be acksepied who is less than three or
more than ten feet high; he must know
how III chew tobacker and drink poor
whiskce, aud mustn't be afcerd of the itch
nor the rebels. Moral charakter ant re.
quired, as the government furnishes that
and rnshuns.
Conclusively: No person can be draft
ed but twice in 2 different phases without
his consent; but all men have u
right to be drafted at least onst; don't
think even rit ofhabeas corpus could
deprive man of this last blessed privil-
ege.

A Paris letter OF April Goth, says oi
the Empcror and events IN Paris that
"while underwriting to kcct the peace oI
Europe q broad. the imperial government,
is harrasscd by several rather dissgreca
BILE symptoms at home. The Corps
Legislatif is becoming less and lately
thrown out three or four Government
bills. Yesterday there was division OF
1874 TO l3l against the Government ON q
demand of two millions for the Minister
Of War. A bill to lcgaliEe coalitions Tor
an increase Of wages has been rather
toolishly encouraged by the Emperor as
g popular measure. II Is, however,
creating great alarm amongst the manu-
facturcrs aud others, who know the spirit
Of the Paris workmcn, and how open
they are to political agitation. Already
many dangerous symptoms of combina'
ton are mauiicsting themselves in the
largest establishments of the capital
The Government is becoming alarmed
at the consequences Of its own indiscrc-
ton; and yet IL dare not new draw back,
nor refuse the promised measure, lest the
step should lead 10 open manifestation
aud emeulcs."
or The seth Ohio re enlisted vctcr.
ans arrived at New York on Thursday
from the department. of the Gulf on
their way home ON furlougc. This
regiment has served through all the bat
ties in the Gulf drbartmcnt, and has lost

are now in the ranks, under command Of
the senior officer Of the regiment, Capt.
Mcnuingcr. Tho field officers are all
dead or wounded.

An 0fhce"holder Who Works fOr
Nothing.

The Cincinnati Commercial has the
following account ofs man in office who
actually works for nothing aud finds
himseli If any one happens to know
another, we will thank him to send us
his portrait and biography. The Com
mercidrs Washington correspondent
says:
"a few weeks since, wrote OF a man
who didn't want an office. Now have
4 still more startling fact to announce
4 man who holds an office under the
Government, works hard, and won't take
any pay for itl The ram eris is Mr
Whiting, Solicitor Of the War D'part-
meat; aud the case, rs related to me by
an intimate friend OF HE, is as follows:
About two years ago, Secretary Stanton
wrote to Mr.. Whiting, whom he had
known well and favorably as a lawyer
FOR many years, at his home in Massa-
ehusetts, informing him that he was
about to create the office Of Solicitor for
the War Department, and rendered him
the position. at salary Of 5000 year
| believe. Mr.. Whiting replied that he
woull be glad to serve the Gov,rnmont
in the capacity named, and would accept
the office upon one condition, thu; he re.
ccvcd no pay or cmolumodts of any hind,
aud have the privilege of bearing his
own expenses at the capital. This was
finally, though reluctantly, acccdcd to by
Mr.. Stantcn, and MIR. Whiting left his
palatial hone in New England, and took
up his abode in Washington City. Not
content with refusing to receive COM
pensation himself, he drew up op instru-
men. in writing, and filed il IN tho War
Department, stipulatirg that, in case ol
his death while here, h $ family should
not be entitled to one dollar for the sci =
vices he may have rendered. Mr.. Whit
ing is rich man, and eau nfrord 10 do
all he has magnanimously agreed to; bu,
II should be remembered there are hund-
reds of others equally rich, and who
could equally well aifvrj il, who would
hesitate for long time before accepting
such non-remupcrative berth"
