After an once.

After AN ONCE.
World Washington letter.
Some curious facts have leaked out
about the manner in which the Washing
ton military ring squeezes money out OF
young applicants for office. A young
West Point officer who went through the
war an the volunteer service, concluded,
after being honorably mustered out OF
service, that he would like an appoint
ment as Indian agent He sought GER
tain military gentlemen at Washington,
known to be in authority and in the ring,
and expressed TO them his desire. He
was told that such places were worth
money, and that he must pay $1,000 down
if he wanted the office. He declined TO
pay cent down, but finally agreed to
deposit that sum in bank in Washing
ton, subject to Tie order of one of the
parties upon the appointment being
made knowIisto the banker. Some time
elapsed, when the applicant for the
agency received letter in this city,
requesting permission to draw $3.50 OF
the amount deposited. He answered
that if the commissioner would give
his word of honor that the appointment
should be made. they might draw the
$3.50. He was then telegraphed that the
commissioner was in New York, at the
Hoffman House, and was requested to
20 and see him and show him the whole
correspondence. The applicant says
that he called upon Commissioner Par
ker and obeyed Instructions. The COM
missioner, upon examining the tele-
grams, promised that the appointment
should be made. The applicant with
drew, and telegraphed to the principal
Of the ring at Washington, with whom
be had dealt, authority to draw the $3.50.
The money was promptly drawn, but the
office was not forthcoming, and the APP
plicant has not seen dollar of his money
thus swindled out of him. The affair is
of recent date. The young applicant
has recently been successful in business
here, and sdoes not desire the Indian
agency now, but he has determined to
begin a suit against the parties, cot only
to test the virtue of the law in such cases,
but in order that the public may become
better acquainted with the kind of people
who run the Grant government.

The NewspapeA Appetite.

"The Hermit in New York" writes to
the Troy Times:
The newspaper is not yet understood,
and probably never will be, except to the
in itiated. Like the ostrich, the press
sw, ,llows everything, but it is at the same
time a mighty digester, and turns all
rude elements to shape. Into the office
there rushes daily vast unwieldy mob
of politics, poetry, accidents, murders,
sermons, divorces, elopements, battles,
wed,ling gs and deaths; the next day they
90 out in comely order; to be reviewed,
com mented on, sermonized, or laughed
at by the world, while all their lessons
are wisely and earnestly summed up in
the leader, by means of which the editor
masters and directs that merciful ele-
ment, pu bic opinion. Intellectually
speaking, newspaper staff is a combi-
nation Of va ried intellects, each working
in its place with such harmony as per-
vades the hun ian muscles, and the whole
fused by one i'll. Here we have COM
posite d Coloss rs" better worthy to be
called the wond' Ter of the world than the
ancient statue whose name / have just
borrowed
If any one asks why / am speaking
thus, my reply is that in New York (and
of course everywh ere clse) the newspa-
per is absorbing everything. Our daily
and miscellaneous press is so extensive
that their titles woul fill a small volume.
Some men take half dozen newspa-
pers daily. The paper is to them a tour
through the world. at may be all they
see, or want to see, of life, literature or
philosophy. If book is published the
advertisement gives you its title, which
often is the best part of it. Christian
people need not go to the theater, for
they can read sketch of the play the
next morning; and wicked len need not
go to church, since the Mon day paper
affords paragraph fronn each preacher,
which may be more than is carried away
by some of the stolid congregation that
dozed through the whole, service. But L
need not expatiate on Il lis6heme. TAX
ing society generally, we know that, next
to the Bible the newspi iper is all in all.
Hence there is great emand for talent
in this line, and the pres IS is inviting re-
cruits. There is vast a Amount OF talent
lying in embryo editors and journalists
are yet to be, and as soon as any signs
are manifested, those signs are acknowi-
edged here. The press is crow, led with
applications for employment, and yet
first-class men always find room. The
great journals of this city are scan ming
the continent and levying ON its men OF
thought and utterance.

From the Rock Island Qll.) Union, May II. ]
r. S. Menamin, publisher of the Print
ers' Circular, Philadelphia, recently is
sued a circular to the typographical fra
ternity, offering three prizes Ga silver
composing stick, silver medal and a
bronze medal), for fast type setting,
and designated yesterday as the time for
lcompetition throughout the United States
and Canada. The typos of Davenport
and Rock Island held meeting, and de-
cided to compete for the prizes. Messrs.
A. G. Smallfeld and John Mcdonald
were appointed judges, and /. N. Kirk
patrick referee.
The Office of the Sunday Star, Daven-
port was selected as the place for the
trial, and Charley Platt, of the Union
office, Rock Island, and Charley Glass,
of Griggs Watson & Days, were uuani-
mously chosen competitors.
The type used was 10 ems to the al
phabet, being one EN- below the standard,
and the measure exactly q ems nonpa-
reil wide, made up by the body of the.
type. The copy-solid reprint in no,l-
pareil-was received from Philadelpl ,ia
which was not opened until five min utes
before the time for commenceme at of
composition.
At q o'clock Mr.. PLAT went 10 the
case; the room was vacated, anrf the
door locked to keep out intruders He
worked exactly sixty minutes, whe n time
was called and he dropped HIS stick,
having composed 1856 ems. At 4: :45 Mr.
Glass took his place at the cease. and
when time was called had comr .osed l488
ems. This closed the contest
The matter set up was pro- ,ed in du-
plicate, and will be forwari led TO r. S.
Menamin. The proof-sheet 5 will be re-
ferred to the International Gypograph-
ical Union, which meets at Baltimore in
June next, and the award of prizes will
be made by a committee Of that body.
There was no rivalry between the
printers OF Day export and Rock Island ;
yet 1t is a me- tier of some pride to us
that one o.. the Union corps typograph-
zeal, Mr.. Platt was the victor, so far as
the two cities are concerned, and we be-
heVe 1t is the unanimous wish of the
craft of both places that he will be the
winner of one Of the prizes.

A May Day Scene.

A lively writer in a New York maga-
zine gives the following graphic descrip-
ton Of " A Moving Scene:"
al was thinking the other day as | OBJ
served the preparations of some OF my
neighbors for moving how fortunate |
was in having house of my own, where
| could dwell year after year, and laugh
at the troubles of those of my acquaint-
ances who were forced to pull up stakes
annually. Moving day was nothing
to me, l thought, and / grew intensely
selfish with the idea that was so free
from annoyance. But in the midst of
my cogitatiops the door-bell rang, and
the servant came back with, Mr.. Brown,
Missus G. wants to borrer your ham
mer. She is movin and her things are
all packed.
"IOf course, / was willing to obhge
Mrs. G., and | made haste to send my
hammer-a new one. just after tea an
other messenger came from neighbor
L., across the road Neighbor L.
was moving and desired to borrow my
ak for an hour or so. The AK | sent
forthwith, and then came a request from
Mr.. c.: Would Mr. Brown be kind
enough to lend us scuttle or two Of
coal? We're moving, and all our coal is
barreled up. This request was some
what singular, but, considering the cir
cumstances, l said nothing more
than to give orders to let Mr.. c.
have what he wanted. Yesterday morn
ing tattered urchin stopped me, as /
was passing out of my door on my wa
down street, with the request: rJa
wants to know if you will lend 'aer n
piece Of soap? We're going to move.
and everything is packed up, Without
stopping to ask who Ma was 7 cave
him the soap and left. At dinner.time
| went home, and was at once struck
with the empty appearalce of the dining
room. Where are the chairs? / asked.
OH Jones folks are movingl replied
my wife. Their chairs are all at the
other house, and they wanted TO borrow
three or four to sit down to dinner
Now, there is nothing like being oblig-
ing, if you have TO stand up 10 your
meals yourself, so long as you can &C
cOmmOdate your neighbors; so | said
nothing, but stepped into an adjoining
room, brought out another chair, and
sat down to the table. A little
sugar, if you please, as l slipped
my coffee. There nowl said Kate.
i lent Mrs. rs girl the last
there was in the house. Mrs. T.
is moving, and - That's enough;
bring me a glass Of water Our glasses
are all out, Mr. Brown, said Kate; Mrs.
C. has got company, and all her
things are packed, 80 ! - All right

anyhow. We will lend Mrs. G. the

sIn.ooo.ooo saved bx stra.agem.

The Versailles Government secured
the funds in the public Offices in Paris
by an ingenious stratagem. These
funds, which amounted to Sl5,000,000
in specie, bonds and bank-bills, we're
placed in a wagon used for conveying
bread and potatoes from the Charity
Hospital to the Alms-house at Issy.
The evening before attempting to pass
this vehicle through the Issy gate a
similar one was sent by the hospital
manager by way of trial, and to disarm
suspicion. The guard allowed it to
pass, while, at the same time, the
driver secured a pass for the next day,
written in the usual unofficial style of
the Commune: open the gate, even if
there are orders to keep it closed: Next
day the wagon containing the treasure,
hidden under sacks Of potatoes and
loaves of bread, arrived at the same
gate, and was stopped, despite the
written order. The guard who gave the
pass was away, and his successor would
not respect it. In virtue Of his right of
inspection, he proceeded to open the
door Of the wagon, and, having over
turned some Of the sacks, was about to
remove those which covered the treasure,
when lieutenant, who commanded the
post, arrived and called out Il know
al about that cart; let 1t pass. The
guard let 20 the sacks, closed the door,
and the vehicle passed out In an hour
and half later the SIS, 600, 600 was safe
in Versailles. The same evening the
Commune learned all and proclaimed
that they we're robbed. They sent or
ders TO Issy 10 arrest the manager Of tho
hospice. but he had followed themillions
which he had helped io-seeare.
