A Patent Medicine.

We had lieutenant in our company
by the name of P. He was gen
ial, noisy fellow, but was not much in
the way of reliability. In fact it
might have been said with great truth
that he did no duty at all, if we ex-
cept the drawing of his pay with a
strict punctuality. Whenever move
ment was to be made, P moved
upon the sick report.
One day it was rumored that the
regiment would march to the front the
next morning. P as usual appear.
ed at the surgeons tent.
ooh ! doctor, I feel very sick, )" said
he.
What's the matter ?" asked the
surgeon, with a sly leer at those pres
ent.
"Oh, great pain in my bowlcs, and
giddiness in my head"
"All right, I'll put you on the sick
report and send you some pills. Take
them at one dose.
P went to his tent and COM
menced to smoke his pipe. By-and-by
some brother officers came in and af-
ter awhile the hospital stewart came
over with box containing three large
pills which the surgeon had made out
of gunpowder.
Better put them in your pipe and
smoke them, said Capt. - "hang me
if I'd take them"
P hesitated for moment and
then said, "it will be a good joke
believe I'll take your anvice."
Picking up the pills he dropped them
into the bowl of his pipe. The next
instant an explosion took place that
shattered his pipe into thousand frag-
ments, and sent P-'s friends flying
out Of his tent
The next day he met the surgeon
and accosted him thus
Say doctor, what effect did you in
tend those pills to have on me p
ITO clear You out growled the
surgeon.
Faith, replied P, they were
very eficacious, for if they didn't clear
me out, they did my visitors

NEW YORK, Oct. Washington dispatche:
state that Solicitor Banfield has been directed
to prosecute the brokers engaged with J. |
Johnson, the defaulting stamp clerk in the New
York sHb-treasury, in spending the government
funds. Secretary Boutwell, will recommend il
his annual report that Sub-Treasurer Hillhouse
be relieved of all further responsibility for the
deralcation of Johnson, amounting to S1S5,141
The report Of the examiner shows that the
assistant treasurer did everything in his power
to prevent the frauds. In fact, nearly all of the
systems of checks now in use were recommended
by him, but as he could have no control over
accounts where he had no authority to employ
an adequate force he is nowise responsible for
loss. The necessity for officials having more au.
thorty where such large sums are handled will
also be referred to.
1t is stated that the treasury department are
going to begin suit against Daniel Bulterfed
for deficiency of $4,000 in his cash account
while in charge of the sub-treasury. When he
resigned his commission in the army charges
were being prepared against Butterfeld for

line was reformed and marched to the armory,
where the escort was dismissed. The SPRING
