A romantic story, something on the Jean

mans crime WAS ho greater than desertiOu
from the army, has come out of the recent
arrest of Il man named Sunderland, who has
been employed as chief clerk in the office of
Colonel Casey, the commissioner of public
buildings. Sunderland, who is Scotchman,
enlisted in the Seventh United States cavalry
soon after his arrival In this country, but hav-
ing no taste for the hard service required OF
him under Custer, deserted and came TO Wash.
ington, changing ono letter in his name. He
obtained clcrkshp aud rose to the position
Of chief cleIl; to Colonel Casey, with II salary
Of 200. The greatest confidence was i'm.
posed in him, and 1t is said that he has
handled vouchers representing over 50 100000
without making an error in his accounts. lie

his lfe--his dcsortiom from the army--he in.
trusted to friend, said to be indebted to Sun.
derand for the Office he holds A few DAYS
ago he had a quarrel with his friend aud the
latter reyenged himself by exposing Sunier-
