Editors of the Dispatch:
Gentlemen,-ln your edition yesterday
there is paragraph copied from north
ern paper proposing history of " How L.
A. Pollard was Appointed in the New
York custom-house. | trust to your manly
and ready sense of right-proofs Of which |
have had on other occasions, and which are
Justly and gratefully rcmembercd-to at-
ford me opportunity to correct the various
false statements which constitute that para
graph. Not that care for misrepresenta-
tons of the newspapers. They are the COM
mon incidents of every public career in
literature or in politics. But desire a cor
rection in this case because the false state
ments referred to have evidently been COM
posed in the dishonest interest Of an indi
vidual who has designed to profit by them:
and whose "game" on the credulity OF
Congress it may be important to expose.
refer to the statements of Collector Smythe
said to have been communicated TO the COm-
mittee of Retrenchment and for the con-
venience of review take these statements
Seriatim.
l. MFR. Smythe alleges that my name was
given as Z. ". Pollard, which g misled y
him as to the character Of the individual
he was patronizing. This is falsehood
and q very paltry one. In the three OF
four letters Of correspondence with Mr.
Smythe before my appointment and on that
subject, invariably signed my name III
full, Edward 4. Pollard" as | usually
do. had frequent conversations with him
he spoke TO me of my literary works; he
referred to members Of my family with
whom he was acquainted he knew at
fully and intimately who and what | was
as any other person did in the limits OF
New York. When came to get my letter
of appointment, ! noticed that my name
was written in it as 4. W. Pollard-whethel
through an inadyertance Of the clerk or
through design it is for him to answer
and at the moment | called the attention OF
the collectors secretary (Mr. Leland) to
the mistake in the initial letter, and he
replied, speaking to his subordinate, 4" that
is q matter to be corrected; and the cor
rection loGs made under my eye.

When it was proposed to me | saw nothing

4 DISGUSTING ExHIHlTIoH.-In accor

A DISGUSTING EXHIBITIOE.-ln accord
ancc with n public announcement duly
made in several sporting papers, wager
of a rather novel and decidedly hcstial cha
racter was decided Monday afternoon in n
stable near the intersection of Jefferson
and Division streets. Two weeks ago
bet was made between two well-known
" sports" one from the seventh ward ana
the other from the tenth, that certain no
torious goumand would cat three dozen
hard boiled eggs, without drink of any
kind, within the space of thirty-s'x mi
nutes. A lagerheer saloon near the cor
nsr of Division and Norfolk streets was the
first place designated, but the ownerperemp-
torily b'ected SO it became necessary TO ad-
iourn to a stable. Only the champion
glutton, the betting parties, the chosen UNI
pire, and a dozen conspicuous patrons Of the
ennobling arts, were permitted to be present.
At o'clock precisely the word Ego" was
given, and with electrical rapidity two eggs
were bolted, but as suddenly the eater stop
ped and protested that the eggs had been
Escaped that is, boiled to a clammy
state-which had been expressly stipulated
against. The umpire tasted, and declared
the objection we'll taken, and ordered forty
new eggs to be procured, and boiled under
his personal supervision. Al ) o'clock the
"sport was resumed. The first seventeen
eggs were bolted whole in fourteen and a
quarter minutes. The eighteenth stuck
fast in the throat; the operator gulped pain
fully, but the obstruction would not stir.
The natural moisture Of the throat was
gone, and soldered irons could not adhere
more firmly than did the glutinous egg to
the parched throat. The sufferer gulped
and strained in vain. He seized the iron
handle Of the saucepan which contained the
boiled eggs, aud was about to inject the OBJ
struction when the opposite party called
"foul." The umpire, with extraordinary ju-
dicial perspicuity, rendered his decision
that the operator might inject or eject at
pleasure by mechanical aid, but the eggs so
injected or elected would not count. He
went on to give his reasons, and got to the
thirdly" when the suffocatiug wretch,
now purple in the face as the gillS of male
turkey, eyes distended outside their sock
cts, breathing stertorous, bolted the recall
citrant egg with the handle of the sauce
pan. Seventeen regular eggs and blank
in sixteen and three-quarter minutes. The
eater sank into chair entirely exhausted,
with stomach in volcanic state. After a
two minutes rest, three more eggs were
bolted in manifest pain, eyes running
water, and the whole frame twitching spas
medically. Twenty-four eggs in twenty
five minutes, and the operator throws up
the spouse and is taken away by his back
ers. The amount of the wager was ffty
dollars.-Ne1o York Tribune.

4 IoNG JoURNEY--The Cleveland He
raid OF Friday says:
"a day or two since, a boy about four
teen years old passed through this city on
his way to New York who had walked the
whole distance from Omaha to Columbus,
His name was william Peterson, and he
had accompanied bis parents to Kansas last
fall. Soon after arriving there, both his
father and mother were taken sick, anu
died within couple Of weeks Of each
other. Left alone among strangers, he
grew komcsick, and determined to reach an
uncle's in York State. Want Of means
compelled him to walk, and accordingly
about the first Of last October he set out.
He says that people along the route were
very kind 20 him, so that he never suffered
for want Of food. On arriving at Columbus
his case was brought to the notice OF q
prominent railroad man, and William was
soon after furnished with q pass TO this
city and letter which readily secured
him pass to his destination. The tramp
for one so young was certainly long one,
and exhibited IA undauuted spirit"

WHY BIRDS SHOULD NOT BE KILLED.-
An intelligent planter in Alabama entirely
escaped the ravages of the caterpillar last
year although it destroyed the cotton upon
every other plantation in his county. His
crop was the finest he ever raised. The
caterpillar came up to the fields Of his next
door neighbors, but they did not cross his
fences. The reason of this was, he Issued
the sternest orders that not a single bird,
except the jay, should be killed upon his
plantation under any pretext whatever.
He allowed little willow groves to grow in
his fields, and to them ne sent sack OF
oats every morning, which were scattered
upon the ground. The birds fed upon the
oats and swarmed in thousands around his
nelas: They exterminated the cotton fly !;
uaa hence there were no eggs, there were
no caterpillars, there We're no Larvae, but
there was blooming garden in the midst
OF blighted wilderness.-Macon Te!s-
