Surprised at the Inrantry's Selection.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN As q
merchant of Washington and a contrlbut-
ing member Of the Washington Light In
fantry Corps for many years, desire to
express my surprise and disappointment at
their refusal to give the citizens OF Wash
ington one chance to visit them while In
"summer oamp.n l learn that at two eli
gible places on the Potomac there was
offered them unusual inducements to en-
camp on our own beautiful river, and, while
thare could not be offered quite as many
fashionable inducements or "frillsn as At
lnntic City or Cape May, 1t would have
afforded an opportunity to all of the friends
OF the command to pay them visit, II only
for few hours. Had they selected either
OF the two places offered, transportation
could have been had down aud back the
same day at triaing cost.
Aside from the fact OF convenience and
cheapness the places spoken OF are owned
and controlled by Washington people, and
as matter Of justice to those who uphold
and support the rganization-"who put
up the moneyn--I think the corps should
have selected one of the places offered. In
doing this they would not only have doue
good thing for themselves, In the way OF
increasing their corps fund, but would also
encourage the citizens who are endeavorlng
to develop the many advantageous points
ON the Potomac river, and which can only
be accomplished by the cordial support OF
our own'people. In this connection it has
been reported that several of the most lib
eral and influential contributing members
OF the corps have expressed their deter
mination to withdraw their support should
they insist upon going to Atlantic City.

CHECK IN HIS ASPIRATIONS.
Thinking He Was n Clerk, But Finds
that He is q Grasspicker.

that He is q Grasspicker.
The career Of an aspirant for advance
ment in the governmental service in the
department here is the subject of many
iests by his fellow-employes in the treasury.
Several months ago young man then
holding $75 position In one of the munic-
ipal Offices OF New York city conceived
the idea Of advancing in the world by
coming TO this city. He communicated
with Congressman Campbell, for whom he
had done some campaign work, and re-
ceivlng a favorable answer to the effect
that a position In the Treasury Department
was at his disposal, he Immediately resigned
his clerkship and came. on. When he re-
ported for duty he was somewhat surprised
to find that he was to be rated as q
laborer and TO perform clerical duty.
Though his aspirations were somewhat
his congressman had revealed to him
visions OF rapid promotion and began work
as copyist. Several weeks ago, In conse-
quence OF the frequent ralns the grass
about the treasury building grew so fast
and other laboring work accumulated to
such an extent, that the laborlng force
actually employed on work in accordance
with their rating had to be re-enforced by
the laborers employed at clerical duty,
Among those detailed to report for duty
outside was the young man who had been
employed by Mr.. Campbell's influence.
Several days later, when the representative
was passing the grounds, he noticed his
constituent busy picking grass from the
cracks Of bricks with rather woe-begone
countenance.
"IIello, what does this meant" called out
Mr.. Campbell.
The young man looked up and said 1t
meant Just what II appeared TO mean.
''Go In and tell Mr.. Thompson that
said you are not to DO this class Of work.n
at will do no good,n the aspiring young
man answered. ~ have told him that al
ready, and he answered me that was not
TO choose my work."
The congressman is said to be arranging
for the promo ton of his young constituent
who, while he waits, bemoans the day he
left his pleasant Office at home to risk the
chances Of promotion at the capital.
