he had done in the census Of 1860 The fact
that every has to pass examination be-
fore he is eligible for appointment does not seem
to reduce the number Of applications.
The census is at present occupying temporary
quarters but the new building. fer which con-
tract has already been made. will be ready early
in December. This structure has been planned
for the especial needs Of the census. and no
fewer than two thousand employees wifi be &C
commodated on the first floor, which will be a
great saving both in time and expense over the
plan adopted in the last census Of having the
force divide among several Offices rented In
different parts Of the city.
The mail Of Congressman has been doubled
through the privilege accorded each Of them OF
making six appointments in the census, and
some Of these servants Of the people have be
gun to wonder whether II is a curse bless
ing. Some OF the epistles received are OF the
most humorous description while some are so
pathetic it makes the recipient wish. a West
ern member expressed 1t. that he had stayed
behind the plough and never gone into politics.
An amorous spinster Of thirty writes TO her
member that she has been waiting since her
school days to marry the chosen one OF her
heart but cruel poverty had prevented: would
ne kindly get her a place in the census and
If convenient, one Tor Bll-fny lelier-JoO
cause 1t will cost more to live In the city than
Il does down here" Another constituent with
social ambition and ideas OF style petitions her
member for place so as can see a little OF
Washington society and get some clothes MT TO
wear" Then there are melancholy walls from
disconsolate widows and requests from some
who are not so disconsolate IN spite Of their
solitary state as witness the following extract:
MY husband died two years ago coming Sep

A grizzly old darby applying for place was
asked by his member what he could do.

"But there are no flies the director"
relevantlv answered the member. and the old
uncle got ticket back TO his place in the coun-
try.
