How HE GOT AN OFFIcE.-A Paris
writer tells this story of the late French
Minister, Achille Fould
.'.One day magnificent turkey, stuffed
with truffies- made its appearance at the
Ministry of Finance, was speedily trans
ferred to a spit at the private residence,
and served to the Minister. As the noble
bird was being cut up, an enormous truffle
with folded letter inserted in it, rolled
out, to the astonishment and concealed
amusement of the beholders, and the high
ly-scented missive was presented to NJ.
Fould, who burst into a hearty laugh
when he had made out its damaged con-
TENTS 1t was signed by an old officer,
who long and in vain had solicited place.
Demand after demand had been deliver
ed and committed to the waste paper
basket; and at last the cunning Lieuten-
ant had had recoure to this singular epis-
tolary ruse, which succeeded to perfec-
ton, for month afterwards, he was ap-
pointed to the Office he had so long wish
ed for.
