A GRowL AT THE PArMAsrERs.


Mr Editor. Although all should be thank
full these hard times TO receive their money
in any shape, still, when those "high- toned"
individuals, the paymasters, can, with but
little extra trouble. for which they are well
paid, by the way, put a few "small bills"
among TIE larger ones, they should do so,
ard thereby not only greatly accommodate
the first recipients, but dozens of Others into
whose hands most OF the money fails IN Ut &c
course OF a few days. 1t is almost iT-possi-
Die, even on our chief thoroughtares TO get
change for a So note-somettmes for less
sum; the merchants will tell you about pay
day that they have had nothing but an ava
lanche of large notes, ranging from as to 500,
offered in payment for little outstanding
debts from twenty-five cents upwards; man v
CT these debts, they say, are lost in cOnse-
queDce, and fresh sales deferred. Some ner-
chants who are able take time by the fore
lock and prepare for the emergency by visit
ing and procuring a supply of stamps, but
generally speaking much trouble is given.
Now / think, Mr.. Editor, that our aymas-
tiers receive enough salary to pay them for
the extra trouble TO put at least five dollars
worth of change la each employees envelope;
at all events not to refuse it when asked; or.
as they 90 in some instances beforehand By
printed notification. that nothing less than
> notes Will be paid out, except where frac-
tons are unavoidable. In many instances,
to my knowledge, poor employees when
drawing their semi-monthly salary of go.
having received il in two notes, have begged
that the smallest might he divided il mas
been but grudgingly granted.
