Too THIN -Carl Sc urz stated that the
President, through others, offered him all
the patronage he wanted if he (Schurz)
would vote for the annexation of San Do
mingo. The President said he had auiho-
rized no one to make any such proposition
and called for S hurzs authority in order
that the miscreant nj cha be exposed
Schurz gave General fleasonton as the man
who had approached him, and Pleasonton
SAYS he "uaderstood" the President to au
thorize him to offer Schurz patronage for
his vote. This man Pleasouton was Com
missioner of Internal Revenue until the
business oi the country demanded his re-
raoval for 'good and sufficient reasons"
when Grant notified him that his resigna-
tion would be acceptable Since then
Pleasonton has thought "Grant bad man
and has naturally become the stool pidgeon
of Sumner and Schurz and is willing to
stoop to anything to beat Grant, even TO
downright lying. But this cooked up
Schurz- Pie; sonton story is too thin to de-

A HERMIT IN CTTY.--The Richmond
(Va.) Dispatch tells the following strange
story: "There is hermit in Richmond.
he lives almost In the heart of the city,
and yet there are very few persons who
are aware of the fact. His home is at
the extension of Eleventh street, on the
edge OF the gully. almost in the open
air, and he has for the past thirteen
years, with but q short intefmlssion,
made this place his domicile.. The gable
end OF an old house has been torn away.
or has been worn away BY the effects of
6me, except q small portion of the roof,
and it is in one corner Of this place that
he lives. It is the Northern gable end
which has fallen away, and here in the
bleak winds this man sleeps each night
with nothing to protect him from the
cold, except an old piece of cocoa mat
ting and his own clothes. Regularly at
8 O'Clock he goes to bed. He nndresses
himself as carefully as one would do in
. comfortably warmed room, and places
his clothing upon his body. Then he
lies down to sleep. His bed consists of
about two handfuls of hay between his
body and the earth. A number of pegs
have been driven into the ground aud a
vine of some kind has been intertwined
among them, and this keeps the straw
within tho enclosure. During the day
he roams about the streets and begs, and
it is said by an old oolored woman who
lives in the old weather. beaten tenement
on the edge of tho gully. that in the
nighttime he is heard talking to hin. .
self, and the sound is like that of num-
Der of persons engaged in conversation.
His rest he must get in the earlier part
Of the night, as he retires before sun
down. During the war he lived under
meath an old stable, few PAGES distant.
Once he was taken out and carried to
Castle Thunder, aud there kept for n
while. When he was let out, he went
back to his present quarters. short
time ago be was arrested, and, under the
vagrant ordinance, sent to the chain
gang for three months in default of se-
oarity. AS soon as his time expired he
returned to his old retreat. Yesterday
afternoon, a representative of this paper
vas in the neighborhood and witnessed
his preparations for bed. He gave his
name az Edward Wilhelm Seymour, SAYS
no will bo fifty-six years old on the 10Th
OF Maroh next. and that he is native
OF Germany"
