HAVE STOPPED Your PAPER. y
The following anecdote, told by Phila-
delphia paper, is decidedly suge estive :
Many years ago, Mr.. Swain, then editor
of the Public Ledger, was hailed at the
corner of Eighteenth and Chestnut
streets Ivy a very excited individual, who
informed him in the most emphatic
terms, II have stopped your paper, sir"
and proceeded to explain the why and
wherefore all the time gesticuiating
wildly. my gracious, sir, you don't
say so. Come with me to the Off 20, and
let us see if we cannot remedy the mat
ter 1t grieves me that any one should
stop my paper" Down Chestnut street
to Third, the two proceeded. Arriving
at the Office, Mr.. Swain said, "Why,
my dear sir, everything seems to be GO
ing on as usual; | thought you had
stopped my paper" Then and there
the excited gentleman. whom the long
walk, by the way had, partly cooled
said that he had stopped taking his one
copy of the Ledger. Mr.. Swain was
profuse in his apologies for having
misunderstood the meaning OF his late
subscribers's words, and regretted that
he had given him the tramp from
Eighteenth street to Third, down
Chestnut. The gentleman went on his
way home, a wiser if not better man,
marvelling over the stupidity of editors
in general, and of Mr.. Swan in parti
cular. Before he left, however, he or
dered that the Lcdger be still sent to
his address.

Memorial Day.

Sunday, the SOth of May, by gener-
al order from the headquarters of the
Grand Army of the Republic, has been
set apart as a memorial day to do honor
at their grave, to the glorious deeds
of the nations fal len soldiers. AS a CO.
temporary remarks: Henceforth this
day, last year so pleasingly observed,
will lie a fixed festival in the calendar of
loyalty. This is the second public oh
servance of the occasion. and we unite
with General Logan in hoping that it
will recur yearly while there remains a
heart loyal to the cause in which these
brave men fell, and while the moving
principle for which they died is held
worth preserving.
1t has been determined not to pre-
scribe any form of ceremony for univer-
sal observance, but each post, or any
number of posts, may arrange together
such fitting services as circumstance
will permit. Department Command
ers are requested to use every effort to
perfect arrangements for the occasion,
and to utilize every facility within
their power.
AS this year Memorial Day falls on
Sunday, the posts, in their discretion,
will be allowed to observe either that
day or Saturday.

GOLD TO BE SOLD AT AUCTION. Sec
rotary Boutwell, has determined to sell
his surplus gold at regular periods to the
highest bidder He will sell gradually,
as it may be needed for commercial pur-
poses; at his weekly sales will dis
pose of from a-half to million of dol
lars, as he may elect on learning of the
demand for customs. He will sell
without regard to price. He believes
that the premium on gold should prop.
'erly be regulated by the laws of demand
and supply, and that any action of the
Government to keep the price down or
put it up is vicious and improper. He
don't believe in Government secrets of
this kind, and will not allow anything
10 be done while he is in the Depart
ment to give rise to such opinions as
were current under Secretary McCul-
loch, and by means of which so many
men were believed to have made money
by the rise and fall of gold. He went
Friday night to his home Boston, where
he will remain until Thursday, when
he will return via New York, where he
will 81 end day.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal relates the fol owing:

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Journal relates the following:
Among other incidents of the wild
hunt for office, story is told fan Ohio
soldier who, in February last, solicited
and received from an Ex-Governor of
his State, a recommendation to posi-
ton under the Interior Department in

in compliance with the request, letter
stating that he had been an able and
gallant officer of an Ohio regiment DUR
ing the war; that he had come out of
the service with severe wounds and
shattered health; and that an appoint
ment as receiver of public moneys in
some Northwestern land district would
enable the applicant to avail himself of
change of climate, deemed essential
by his physicians to the restoration of
his physical powers. The letter con-
of his fitness and claims for such a no
sition-affirming that the appointment
would be regarded as favor personal to
himself, and was signed, as our readers
may have already anticipated, by the
present Secretary of the Interior, dur
ing the office seekers seige of this De
partmeht.
Among the innumerable vsito was
the bearer of this letter. The Secretary
read it and asked if he expected to re-
main in Washington any length of
time, receiving for an answer--"Per-
haps week or 10 days"

your address, and perhaps" said the
Secretary, "you may hear from me be-
fore yon leave the city"
The applicant was somewhat aston
ished at the remarks of the Secretary,
and presuming the letter had not been
carefully read, asked if the signature
was not familiar.
With imperturbable gravity the Sec
rotary replied:
Captain, when / wrote the letter

Your application will be duly consid.
ered."

in due time the appointment was made,
