The present sixth auditor. COlOnelT. b.
Coulter, of Ono, 70 al energetic gentleman
who has taken n0ld OF his work with con-
siderable enthusiasm. tie Is large, digni-
hed gentleman, with clear. honest eyes, and
rs shakes hands with visitor with a grip
which might Do mistaken for that Of The
seLs, II We were living IN the demi god
period Of the world. He goes about his Of
fee and sees his clerks az work. This Is
rare good faculty which few officials seem
wise enough 70 cultivate. Every clerk not
only feels that there Is sixth auditor, out
hs knows il, and knows the gentleman and
what manner OF man he IS Thes know
that he IS not merely an oriclal figure head,
but that he IS every inch al auditor, and as
willing as he IS able and competent TO super
intend the work, without leaving il 70 others
wholly 10 perform
Colonel Coulter has recently written
letter 10 tho Postmaster-Ceneral recon-
mending = change IN the methods OF receiv-
ing the quarterly returns Of pOstmasters,
which Will save the writing OF al least $780,
OOo letters per annum Think OF that a
stroke OF business. Besides, II the scheme
Of quarterly returns which Colonel Coulter
proposes IS adopted by the Post-Of.ce De
partment, It viii throw the business for
ward al least two weeks in each quarter, so
that every accoG Ut may be audited and adj
iusted within reasonable time, and post
masters either compelled 10 settle their ac-
counts or be removed. IL would take too
much space 10 describe this scheme, but
enough is said Of il TO show that the sixth
auditor is . student and q worker in his
BUSINESS.
There arc not many ladies in the sixth
auditors oflce. Somehow, you know,
women don't run 70 figures and bookkeep-
ing very naturally. Baby salsing and
bread 70 aking come easier for most Of the
fair creatures, but some of them have
mathematical talents, and you can find
them In the office OF the sixth auditor; but,
somehow, IL looks better TO see a man than
woman sitting cross-legged on a high stool
with pen behind his ear aud ink on his
nose, and it is believed that the man keeps
accounts better. That, however, is merely
an impression, and is not mentioned 10 the
detrlment OF women with mathematical
noses and short hair who think they would
look well on those high stools.
