An Eccentric Omoinl..

The New York papers devote
considerable space to sketches of
George W. Blunt, the eccentric
pilot commissioner, who has Just
died. 1t is related, among other
things, that no one was suffered to
enter Mr.. Blunt's office either smok-
ing or with his hat on, and upon
swearing in his Office he imposed q
fine. Indeed, he placed in the outer
Office a tin box, saying, Now, this
is for swearers. Every one who
swears in this Office must put ten
cents into the box, and if / am
caught swearing / will pay twenty"
This rule was enforced on all occa-
sions, and one day a gentleman en-
tered the Office and began to swear.
Mr.. Blunt stepped from his private
room and babe him put ten cents
into the box. "What for?" "For
swearing" What is to be done
with the money thus collected"
"It is divided between the pilots
charitable fund and the New York
and Sandy Hook Pilots Benevolent
Association for the benefit of the
widows and orphans" The gentle.
man took a S. bank note out of his
pocket-book, put it into the box
with a smile, and said, 81 will take
that out in swearing at some other
time" On another occasion the
owner of a yacht entered Mr.. Blunts
office and let drop an oath. Mr..
Blunt demanded the ten cents. An
explanation followed, and 0 the
next day MI. Blunt received a
check for $1,000 as a "swearer's
contribution" TO the two funds, to
be equally divided between them.
