THE CORSICAN BROTHERS.

TWO WASHINGTON OFFICIALS PLAY THE TITLE ROLE.
WASHINGTON, Feb. II (SpeciaD.-It would APP
pcar that brotherly love does not flourish to any
alarming extent among the Christian virtues which
aaern that species OF Benedictine phalansery
which does tho public printing Some time ago 1T
plszsse1 Mr. Benedic to discharge an old and vau-
able clerk named Richmond. who had been there for
yexrs. and was moreover, an ex-sodler When he
drew his final pay COmrade Richmond told Dit
Bepedict IT, the chief clerk and a brother OF the
Public Printer that ne going ont into the cold,
cell world ard would like n letter of recommends
zion and this the chief clerk aforesaid immediately
wrete out for him upon the Office headed paper, tes-
tsfyng IN glowing terms to the app cants clerical
ability and excellent character and Christian VIZ
tues
Comrade Richmond with the ingenious simplic-
ity which Is born of army life and experience,
took the letter to his friend Senator Allison, who
stfaghtway wrote the public printer asking wh
his appointee had been dismissed Benedict re-
pied that the mau had been discharged as worth
lcs, incompetent and dlssipaiei. to which the
Senator made replication that tins seemed a little
strange. as the comrade held the finest possible
recommendation from the printing office in due
efkcial torn and OF recent date.
hereupon Benedict held sweet converse WITH
his brother who immediately rushing up 10 Rcn-
mand's house burst into his sltting-roOm where
the simple soldier lay reposlng ON his sofa:

smile whereupon the chief clerk stOrIned about
the room in such fashion that the owner Of the
premises finally took nim by the shoulders and
iguominIousy " fired him into the street.
The Official returned to the printing Office a

ardent and unseemly character was indulged III.

regular pitched battle ensued
No record was kept it appears. of the various

the hotel man fears cehsure on that account. so
between the two horns of the dilemma he appeals
10 his agent, owner lawyer and irlndly guests
for advice and consolation, but the forms in which
thew are rendered have the effect OF distracting hum
rather than soothing his anxiety.
There is no change apparent in the rental OF
restaurant property, which is also regarded as Rood
in New-York this year. The same may be said OF
property rented for drinking places in spite OF the
efforts of the advocates OF high license ana pro
hibition TO induce the passage OF laws at Albany
iuimical to the beer and liquor selling interests
Tn owners and occupants Of this kind OF property
do lot yet EXHIBIT any uneasiness on the subject
and leases are daily made at practically the same
rates rs last year.
The manner of assessing property in Broadway
compared with that in side streets near by is
sometimes interesting and instructive. William
A. White head Of the well-llnOwn real estate firm
of W. A. White Il Sons, OF No. 4O7 Broadway
gave the reporter an instance in point: Mr.. White
has two buildings near together one in Broadway
The other in a side street III they were adjoining
properties there would he real difference in their
selling values The side-street property rents for
$1,000 and is assessed at S25, 600 The Broadway
property rents for only 81 90 per year more-S150O
but the assessment upon 10 is $4,000. The
city assessment books said to contain many
similar instances which must eventually work dis
astrously to gt-edged' real estate in broadway.
