PosT OFFICE DEPARTMENT, Feb. =, 1876.
To the Editor oftse National Republican:
SIR: This Department is flooded to-day with
printed call "a copy of which is herewith 1nclosed
for your inspection) to the clerks 20 attend "the
interesting revival meetings conducted by Messrs.
Hammond and Bentley" Now, we Of the Post
Office Department protest against this impndent
auctoneer method of blleting out to the sale Of
Hammond and Bentley's ignorant wares. This
course ofproceedings may DO we'll enough for the
subalterns of the Treasury, Navy and War De-
partments, where much good sense Is not looked
fora little talent there sufficlng. 1t is per-
hsps fitting, too, for the Patent Office and the
Pension Bureau, for Hammond and his ilk are
always pensioners on the good will of the pro-
ducing classes, and are quite entitled to patent
business. But, sir, in the name OF the good sense
prevalent in this Department, whose corre-
spopdcnce is world. wide. and whose intelligence
Hammond y Co. should not advertise their poor
goods intrusiyely in our precincts. They have
captured our Prince, IL seems, but we OF the rank
and file don't mean to be taken go cheaply, and
We propose this, namely: that Hammond and
Bentley shall invite US to discuss with them in
public the chief doctrines Of their faith. For
ample. they shall affirm the divine origin of
Jesus Christ, his coevality and equality with the
Creator of the Universe, and We will reply mega
lively. This would give them something worth
while to do, and assure them OF more crowded
houses than they otherwise likely obtain. We
have Jews, atheists, deists, pantheists material
ls mOSern m5 Mat
mons, &C., among our number, who would be
glad to meet MIR. Hammond In debate. He ought
to be willing to be assured Of his fundamentals,
and, of course, he'll come forth, armed with
prayers, and what's better, pennies, and take up
the challenge, enter briskIy on the game, and
"ante up" high It is not doubted. Let US hear
from him. The Post Once Department boys and
girls would enjoy the fun. Let the Treasury De-

Termination Of a Pastorate.

Rev. Horace a. Cleveland, of the Foundry NJ
Z. church, Will close his disciplinary term OF
three years on Sunday. Since Mr.. Cleveland
entered upon his duties at this church three years
ago It has been completely renovated and nearly
rebuilt, So that in its appliances for comfort and
elegance of finish, 1t is not surpassed, If 1t is
equsled, by any other church in the city. Two
years ago colony from his congregation formed
a new congregation in the northwestern portion
Of the city, known as Mt. Zion, taking OIL eighty
Of his membership. Since that period one hun
dred and twenty have Joined his church, and
his congregation Is larger at the present time
than it has been for several years.
Mr.. Cleveland is noted for HIS cathclicity of
spirit and his cordial differentiation with all
Christian churches and people. He is peculiarly
fond Of discussing the live questions OF the day,
which he does with q freshness OF thought and
closeness of analysis, as to attract the think
ing men of the community to his congregation
Numbers Of prominent statesmen and journalists
are his constant hearers.
If the appointing power Of the Church at the
conference about to convene TX his appointment
away from the city he will carry away with
him the regrets Of many of the prominent men
OF the city of Washington. His ministry has
been profitable one to Ibis community.

Lanmsn,s Bioeraphicsl Annals.

The antiquarian, Anglim, has made q great
hit In negotiating with Mr.. Llnman for the pub
Ecation OF this important work. When It is
known that nearly thirteen thousand copies Of
the Dictionary Of Congress-" from the same
pen, was published, and that this new book is far
more comprehensive in its scope, embracing, as it
does, the entire civil Government during the frs
century Of its existence 1t is not surprising that
Mr.. Anglim expects 10 sell the entire first edition
beftre it leaves the great printing establishment
Of Lapge, Little s Co., New York, who, Judging
from the advance sheets, are doing this work in
irstclsss style.
OF the contents Of the book It may be said tha.
the Biographical Sketches" will number about
$500, of which the N stional Legislatures will
count up over 1000; Federal judiciary, coo; For
eIgn Ministers, 100; Governors Of States and Ter
ritories 500, and other officials, 5oo thereby de-
plctiug the perSonRel OF the civil Government in
all its branches.
Another feature OF the work will be a large
amount of tabular Information furnished ex-
pressly for il by the various Executive Depart
ments, and containing, in outline, n comprehen-
sive history of the National Government
That the authors work is in every respect
brought down to the latest date, may be eXem-
plihed by the fact that the New York Tribune
published, as an extract from the book, on the
day preceding the meeting of tho present Con-
gress o complete account of its one hundred and
dents as the death OF the late Reyerdy johnson
will be found recorded in its pages. more sp.
propriate book for the Centennial year could
hardly be produced. A suitable space has been
assigned for its display, in Its various STYLES
binding, az the Centennial Exhibition.

Two Old Portraits.

In one Of the sI,ting-rooms on the Office floor of
the Ebbitt house are two curious relics OF old
time painting. They are portraits Of Louis XIV
and his Queen, Maria Theresa. They are life
size, and represented in the royal robes Of some
state occasion, covered with jewels and insignia
of different orders and emblems OF royal author
i;r. The frames are small and of most antique
pattern. The canvas is dingy with age, and
shows many marks Of hard usage. Mr.. willard
bought them in New York at an auction sale,
and fortunately at price greatly below their
real worth. They were hung in a private resi-
dence in New York for great many years, back
even as far as Colonial times, and It is probable
that they are in the vicinage OF being two hun
dred years old. Louis XIV was born 1888, and
called the God given" because his mother had
married in 1890, and died Ills. His reign has
justly been called the Augustan age OF France.
Among the sculptors and painters Of his court the
names Of Puget, Girardon, Poussin, Claude Lor-
raine, LIE Sueur, LIE Brun and the two Mignards
are prominent. These portraits are undoubtedly
by one of them, perhaps Claude Lorraine. They
are to connoisseurs great curiosties and from all
visitors they attract attention.
