A gentleman who pleads guilty to being the on, referred to, has called at this offic, and wants it stated specifically anC and unequivocally that he was no worsted in the argument, that ht holds his head as high as ever wher he goes to his meals, and his opinion. in reference to Christian science re main unchanged.
 A register of all the officers and employees of the United States in every branch of the service, from president down to janitor of public buildings, has been received at the United States land office. It is valu- able as a book of reference in case one wishes to find the location oi one in the service of the United States in any capacity, and some in teresting statistics can be procured from it. For instance the list shows that ll03 members of the Smith family are getting their support from the United States in exchange for services. These are the straight Smiths, no Smythes, Schmidts, or other sort of Smiths being included. A perusal of this register furnished another surprise to the writer in re- gard to the Martin family. He had supposed that the loss of his name from the official register would greatly disfgure it by removing such a distinguished cognomen, but to his surprise found that there will be still 342 Martins left on the United States pay roll, so that the 343d one will not be missed when dropped out of the forms.
