acts which have lived after him.
II was to pen a personal letter to the
postmaster general, asking that ON

Carlinsville, ILL.,, who was the sole
support of her brother, a Union sol
der, crippled at Shiloh. Miss Dugger
got a position and preserved the let
ter religiously.
Secretary MacVeagh, after reading
the same letter Monday-thOugh the
paper has yellowed with age and the
ink is dim-ordered that Miss Dug
gers name be not dropped from the
treasury's list OF employees, though she
has been III more than year. When
an empoye has been absent without
nav for that length of time it is Gus
fomary TO strike the name from the
rolls
Senator Cullom brought the letter
70 Secretary MacVeagh, who promised
that Miss Dugger may have her old
position if she is ever able to WorA
again. She is now seventy years Old
Miss Dugger was transferred from the
postofice to the treasury soon aiter
president Lincoln's letter got her en-
ployment and became an expert in de-
fecting counterfeit money. She mas
handled billions Of dollars-some good
and many bad-during forty-fve years

eording to the entertaining grammaria8
referred 10. a town in Greece under
stress of evil circumstances borrowed
money from rich man. who took as
security for the loan mortgage>en the
handsome portico which surrounded
the market place. He was not an I'M
generous creditor, for when it rained
he caused the town criers to announce
that the citizens had permission to
take sefuge under the cOlonnade.
Strangers visiting the town who fail
ed to have the ma-ter properly explain

extraordinary circumstances that they
spread abroad the report that the peo-
pie were 50 stupid that they had to be
