moth extermipator, which he offered to the
Ouartermaster Generals Office in 1874, and
tried to ge an appropriation for 1t, he
knew that clothing was being destroyed by
moths, and knew that his preparation
would save them; Mr.. Cox ridiculeo the
matter in the House; witness Went 10 uen'
Meigs and tried to get him to test tne maj
ter and Meigs refused to have anythmg 10
do with it.; after several interviews Meiss
asked him what it was worth to MN 10 H.
troduce the preparations; witness sara hc
would not give him cent.
Question, by Mr.. Clymer.-Did you uh-
derstand Meigs to intimate he wanted "a
share in the proceeds to introduce it!

Cured in General Meigs' own office. There
