I. Bidders for stationery ,contracts in the
Interior Department. hare been used to
pat down articles never Issued or used 60
seldom SIS to make the item of no
account, at "a price far below the actual
COST, so that When the bills are averaged
theirs viii be the lowest, and yet pay q
good round sum on the articles COM
monty used. ID This little game was
spoiled at the last giving out OF the con-
tfaetS, by the committee giving to each
bidder the articles on which his figures
we're the lowest. In the present instance
blue ink had been pnt down at one
eighth of O. cent Per dozen, and the con-
tractor, was notsalittle surprised to re-
ceiveaans order for eight dozen bottles.
He rushed TO the Department to inquire
what they could want of so much blue
ink. DR.. Cady, the chief clerk, did not
know about il, and summoned the clerk
who. made lrequisition. Did he require
that amount OF blue ink? The clerk
said he did not, but had thought best
NOT too order less than cents worthl
The explanation was satisfactory, and it
is probable the contractor will supply
the bnrean with blue. ink without pre-
senting his bill for it. t.. 7o 'F
