Private DaIzelI. Champion Letter. Writer.

The most peculiar character in : he
Sixty-third General Assembly is Pr vate
Dalzell. His appearance at once at
tracts attention. Lean, tall and slight
ly STOPPING, with long, curly hair of
sandy hue, a long, red, struggling beard,
and bright blue eye, he looks more
like the traditional soldier of the South
than the blue Yankee that he is.
The most peculiar thing about Pri-
vate Dalzell is his mania for letter
writing There is hardly prominent
newspaper from the Atlantic to the Pa
citic, or from the lakes to the gulf, that
has not heard from Private Dalzell.
He writes at all times, on all subjects,
and to all prominent persons, giving
editors the preference. l had talk
with him to-day ON this subject, and he
tells me he has spent small fortune
for postage stamps.
When he was % he left the Junior
class of Washington College and en-
tered the war, where he served three
years. During this time he was con-
tinuous correspondent, and sent his let
tiers broadcast over every part of the
country. Here he served as private,
and his letters generally appeared
signed Private Dalzell." He told me
to-day that not single night passed
during the time that he was in the war
that he did not write from one to fifty
letters to the newspapers, and that he
spent all of his money for stationery.
In response to question as to whether
he had never risen above the rank of
private while in the army, he answered:
Might have done so, but it was my in
ferna, letter writing that ruined me. L
continually wrote for the newspapers,
and many of my letters found their way
through the press back to the army.
Well, some General would see them.
They would please him, aud he would
take me from my company and make
me his clerk. After month or two L
would gravitate back to the ranks, when
in several weeks was again picked
up by some new admirer and again
made clerk. If l had stayed in the
ranks might have risen to a higher
command, but this changing about pre-
vented it.
AS to my being called Private Dali
zell, signed all my letters James M.
Dalzell, private Company H, One Hun
dred and Sixteenth Ohio. The edit
ors abbreviated it to Private Dalzell,
and after the war adopted that name.

A Cautions BOardpr.

Charles Thompson, Secretary to the
first American Congress, was noted for
his caution. 1t may be due in part to
this trait-one of no mean Importance
in those stormy days-that he held the
office, through successive appointments,
during fifteen years. An anecdote ex-
hibits his caution and prudence.
When young man, he boarded with
a school-teacher and his wife, both noted
for their slanderous tongues. For some
good cause Thompson wished for new
boarding house; but he dreaded to leave
the teachers family, fearing lest his
character might suffer from their back
biting. He, however. Lit upon an in
genious expedient to prevent them from
slandering him. One evening he grave
ly inquired if his conduct as a boarder
had been satisfactory to them.
J." Entirely So" replied both husband
and wife.
Would you be willing to give me a
certificate to that effect?" he asked.
oh, certainly" and they wrote one
then and there.
The next day Thompson moved to
another house. Thanks to his caution,
he parted in peace from his host, and
they never disturbed it.

ANOTHER SECTION Book DUO UP.-Aiter
the unexpected discovery, on Friday last,
Of one Of the missing Section Books Of the
Gas Office, buried In the cellar underneath
the office, avigorous search was instituted
for the two Section Books still missing.
The book dug up by Jim Dyson, an at
tache Of the office, on Friday morning, was
Section Book No. 2. About 0 o'clock Satur.
day morning another one OF the missing
books, Section Book No. /, was found bu-
ried several inches under the surface,
about eighteen feet from the spot where
the first book was discovered. Upon an
examination Of this book, 1t was found
that about ten pages, containing the list Of
consumers on Market street, between
Tenth and Twelfth streets, had been torn
out and evidently destroyed.
The work Of digging up the floor Of the
cellar was resumed, IN the hope Of finding
the third book, and will be continued un-
til the entire floor has been gone over.
During the afternoon the worEmen came
across lot Of loose earth, and upon ex-
animation found that a hole some four
feet wide and five feet deep had been dug
in the hard bottom OF the cellar, and alter
wards abandoned and filled up. The
theory Is that this hole was dug previous
to the fire at the Gas Office, by the parties
most interested in conCealing or destroying
the books OF the Office, with tho intention
otsecreting the books there, and that the
scheme was subsequently abandoned and
an attempt made to burn the books, the
result OF which Is well known to the
public.
That part Of the cellar oyerlaid by q
board flooring yet remains to be exam
ined. The flooring will be removed to-
day, and the ground carefully searched.
