YE OLDEN TINE.
The Ohice-Seeker Dates Back to
Washington's Day.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The scramble or office that Is now
going on has caused Robert Lincoln
O'Brlen, a. Boston newspaper man,
who is fond of "delving deep into
musty lore" to recall the days of Pres
ident Adams, the first of our chief
magistrates to acquire Office as party
leader and on party issues. Mr..
O'Brien finds that Philadelphia seems
then, as now, to have been something
of political storm centre, and to have
contained good many citizesn
anxious to serve their country for q
reasonable consideration. Friedrich
A. Muhlenberg wanted to be treasurer
of the mint, and took pains to explain
to the president that "a series of mis-
fortunes to a son-in-law of mine oc-
casioned by french captures have af-
fected me very materially, and being at
present out of public employment, /
have both leisure and inclination to
attend to the duties of this or any
other office you may think proper to
honor me with, whilst at the same time
it would afford me some aid in situa-
tion / have never been accustomed to-"
Apparently, office was office with Mr..
Muhlenberg, whatever its title, for
after waiting some month he changed
his course and became a applicant for
the Philadelphia collectorship, but was
willing to accept either the naval Of
ficer's or surveyors position. Near
ly three years later, having failed in
all his applications, he appealed to
President jefferson in like manner,
attributing his ill-success with Adams
to the hostility of oliver Wolcott.
Another Philadelphia politician con-
spicuous at that day was the clever
but erratic commissioner of revenue,
Tench Coke. He was turned out of Of
! flee during President Adams term on
charges of political treachery to the
| administration. He came back to JEFF
| ferson with a plea that "the world
sees me yet unprovided for-yet un-
restored-my old office held by him
that extruded me-the best branch
| of it given to another" He wanted
| that place-or something equally as
| good" as our modern politician would
put it. He scorned anything of a
| dignity unworthy of a man of his
especial merit. 1.-THE trivial appoint
ment of commissioner of Bank
ruptcy." he wrote, (which Judge p.
will have the power to render fruit
less, will neither maintain my large
family, repair my substantial losses
nor restore me to public honor and
confidence. The office can not produce
$1,000 per annum, and is very uncon-
Portable and inconvenient one."

BOARD OF HEALTH MEETS.

A regular session of the board OF
health was held on wednesday even
ing when the following members were
present: DR.. Bailey, Hon. j. F. Rey-
nolds, Messrs. B. A. Kelly and John 4.
Collins. A committee from the Plumb
ers of the city, Messrs. G. o. Mellen
and f. A. Brown appeared in order to
protest against one section of the rules
relative to plumbing. This section
specifies the weight of pipe to be used
for certain purposes which the COM
mittee regards as too heavy. Accord
ingly after due consideration the board
amended the section so that stand
ard" pipe may be used for ordinary
buildings, and for buildings of three
stories or more extra heavy" will be
required. The new rules in regard to
penalties will soon be reported as At
torney Reynolds has completed them.
The secretary will compare the rules
with the originals, so that with the
necessary corrections and amendments
they can be referred to the mayor.

Brooklyn street. Mrs. Biglin, who is
about 20 years of age, was walking
alcng the road when a wagon, in which
was a man and women. struck her,

condition is considered quite serious.
She was assisted by a street car con-

possible, leaving the unfortunate wo-
man lying upon the ground. An effort
