WaahIngton Republican.
The following amusing incident is re
lated by a prominent young Republican
from West Virginia who has q keen SENSE
Of the ridiculous, q rich vein OF humoF
aud fine intelligence. This young mar
had been strongly Endorsed by the leading
Republicans Of his State for q position IN
the consular service. With his gripsacb
stuffed with papers andletters setting forth
his claims 10 consideration, such as good
character, talent, o~ratoriCal ability, cam
pAign services rendered, ETC., he came to
this city in the early days OF the Presen'
Administration. Immediately upon hif
arrival he hied himself to the State De-
partment TO remind MIR. Blaine that West
Virginia had been 'solid" for him in
his Presidential contest, and now she
wanted 10 be remembered for 1t, The
Secretary promised the young man an au'
dience ct . future date. Days and weeks
passed, but the future date promised seem
cd to have been forgotten.
Strong in patience, but poor in pocket,
the gallant young Republican went 70 his
home.
A few days ago he returned, and, to use
his " language, he proceeded to the
Department to seq what prospect there
was for getting his grtst ground,
He was usheTed into the presence OF me
private secretary, Walker Blaine, Eaqp
and the following interview took plaCe;,
"You folks are nicely fixed here, Is
your father at home?"'
"Yes, sir; but he is Engaged with the
British Minister"
"Iudeed! Is your father fond OF minis
isters?" ,

and Campbellite ministers visit much

"You may tell your iatherthat l am here
and will advise him as to the proper dis,

p. Sec.-"My dear sir, permit me 70 say
10 you in all kindness that the time Of the
Secretary Ia so absorbed that he is unable
10 see many OF his most intimate person
al and political iriends.n
"You don't think he'll be disappointed
at mt getting to gee me-"
p. SeC.-"l hope not, sir"
"Well, ! hope not, too"
Then the young man was politely
bowed 10 the door; but he hesltated, and
returned and said;
Just one request, MIR. Private
Secretary. | would like to take my papers
from the pigeon.hols, dust them off and
return them. They are nice clean papers,
we'll written, on good paper, and ! want
good care taken Of them. Don't handle
them very often, not more than once a
year, Read them at very rare intervals,
as you would a lot OF old love letters, just
