ANECDOTE OF +. L. SPINNER.
He Meets His Match at Letter.nritipc.

One day, a short time after the late
unpleasantness terminated, the CORE.
spending clerk OF Gen. H. e. Spinner,
then United States Treasurer, entered
the sanctum of that officer and quietly
laid letter and enclosure before him
The old man took 1t up and looked al
1t, and began to look savage as he
noticed that the enclosure was con
federate note. He next read the letter
which was a very courteous epistle from
Southern man not yet reconstructed
who stated that inasmuch as the United
States had succeeded to the assets o.
the confederacy, he presumed there
would be no objection to assuming itf
liabilities, and closed by requesting the
treasurer to cash the note.
Spinner laid the letter down gently
and leaning back in his chair, began tt
think it over and get mad. Tie process
was rapid-the success brilliant beyond
precedent. He fairly roared at the cool
impudence OF the letter, and alter dis.
charging number OF vigorous and far
from pi0us denuuciations at the head OF
the ex.reb, he turned to the clerk and
said: "Fell the man to 30 to h-t!p
The obedtent scribe accordingly re.
piled, re-enclosing the note, and stated
that the power which had called the con.
federacy and its paper money into ex.
istence having returned to the place oil
it's inception, to wit, the internal regions,
the treasurer recommended him W have
it cashed there, and to present il IL
person.
This reply pleased the general prodigl.
ousTy, and he chuckled heartily over 1t
tor several weeks, thinking he had ex
tinguished the cool Southerner.
But one day another letter was re
ceived from the man, who apologized tol
not answering the Generals lettel
sooner, but explained thatthe delay was
caused by the length Of the journey be
had recently undertaken at the instance
of the Treasurer. He then proceeded to
state that, in accordance with the sug
gestioAs made, he had travelled to the
dwelling place OF "Old Nick," and hat
actually mad an interview with him
He described the sulphurous deity as /
rather atfable, baldheaded old cuss, anu
said on presenting the confederate note
and SpiDner's letter to his hest, the oIt
fellow glanced at it, and turning to the
clerk, said: "Here. pay this nian hi
money, l know Spinner we'll enough
this Endorsement is good enough Tor me, ;
and turning 10 his guest continued
"Just tell Spinner PIl take his in
tdorsement for any amount he sign
for" gr
This letter was shown the old man
who read it, and found speech made
quate to fifty express his views; but h.
thought until the skating park on th
top OF his head got purple. Wien he re
covered sufficiently to command Ian
guage, he turned to his corresponding
clerk and said, while bland smil,
radiated his face communicating q rose
ate glow to his entire countenance
"Mr. c., think this is good time t,
drop the curregp0ndence.o
