Ast Oflee TSurt B*«m> to Lmml to Higher Tbiag* or Long Life or Both. : The first pootninster of thftetty of New York got hl* oonitnission from Thoma* Jefferson. Be was Theodora* Bailey, a resident of Poughkeepsie. Ho was a Unit ed State* senator, bavin* m his oollcagne ! De Witt Clinton, but ho resigned hi* place in the sonata to become postmaster of New York, which was then a city of about 76,000, , and the postal business of which amount ed to a few hundred letters u day instead ‘ of tbe present volume of tnudnoes, which ’ yield* to the federal government a net i profit of 16,000,000 n year. He had pre viously been a member of the legislature, be had enjoyed the distinction which uanie to senators in the early years of the coun try’s life, and ho held the office of postmas ter for 24 years. Andrew Jackson appointed the next t postmaster, who continued In office for eight year*. Hl* name Was Jonathan Cod i dington. Nine years before his appoint ment Ooddlngton was a member of the legislature, at a time when all the mem ber* were elected on one ticket, and ho held the office of postmaster until John Tyler appointed another man In his place. . -Tyler's propensity for appointing men in ' other men's places led to considerable friction in his time, and it led, it is sup i posed, to some of the denunciations which were made of Tylor, denunciations emanat ing from those who were displaced. Presi dent Pieroe appointed as postmaster of Now York Isaac V. Fowler, who was nn t important personage in the politics of bls day. He had a* hl* auccbsaor John A. Dix, Whose commission came from James Buch anan. General DlX—he was not then a general—was born in 1798, and at the time of hl* selection a* postmaster bo was . known.rather irreverently and certainly inaccurately as "Old Dix.” Ho had pre viously been—27 years before—secretary of ■hate at Albany; he had been a legislator ahd 16 years before had boon chosen a United States senator. He was afterward , assistant secretary of the treasury, and his acceptance of the office of postmaster of New York was thought to rounds out his career. He was the second United States senator to become poetmaster. So far from rounding out his careef, General ‘ Dix’* acceptance of the office of postmaster might truthfully be said to have begun it • Again. In January, 1861, he was appolnt ed secretary Os tho'troasury of the United State*, later on ho became a general in the Unlqn army, still later American min ister to Franco, and finally, on Jan. 1, 1878, governor of the state of New York. General Dix died in April, 1879, at tbe age of 11 years. Hewa* 62'whon appointed , P °Two postmasters of New York were ap polnted during President Lincoln’s term —r Abram Wakeman and James Kelly—and two during Grant’s term —Mr. Jones and Mr. James, both still active. President Harrison appointed Cornelius Van Cott nine year* ago, and Pro»ldont McKinley reappointed him after the expiration of the four year*’ tenure of Charles W. Dayton, appointed by President Cleveland. The office of postmaster of New York leads usually to higher thing* for those who leave it and to long life to those who don’t. —New York Sun. A Diamond Tooth Joko* Here Is an anecdote about a Brooklyn dentist that has recently caused a smile or two in drawing room and club circles not far from the heights. A wealthy man upon whom nature has bestowed a rugged and serious countenance to mask a joking disposition called at the office of the den tist aforesaid in actual distress over a bro ken fropt tooth. "Can anything bo done to remedy this defect?” ho asked eagerly. Upon examination the dental artist found that one of two very large apd prom inent upper teeth had been damaged be yond repair. “It must come out,” ho said curtly. ‘‘No, no, you must build it up,” ex claimed the visitor. ■*! can’t spare that tooth. Its removal would mako my mouth look like an open porthole.” “Oh, well, I con replace it,” complacent ly answered the dentist. “The old one must certainly come out, but I will put in a now one that will mrtko you look better than over before. It will be firm and reg ular and much handsomer than tho old one.” “Ahl” muttered the wealthy man. "That’s what I want. Mako it as at tractive as possible.” "Yes, Indeed, I will,” said the dentist enthusiastically. "You shall have a tootli that will bo perfect in form, white, pearly and glistening”— "Bay, doctor,” Interrupted tho visitor with mock gravity, "couldn’t you sot a large diamond in the middle of it?” * “Oh, no, I wouldn’t do that,” replied the dentist hastily, but in sober earnest. ’ “Os course I know that you can wall nf- I ford it, but it would look—well, just a i trifle too conspicuous, don’t you know. New York Timos. Ils Could Vary the Monotony. i Thera is no man in public lifo who en joys a story more than Samuel Hamilton, county superintendent of public schools. Mr. Hamilton tells one on himself which came about when he was a country school teacher. “I had a big class and was just a little nervous on my first break into life as a teaeher,” caid the big fellow. “I had a class up, and a little follow who sat up in the corner began twirling his thumbs like wildfire. He seemed to be trying to break his own record at thumb twirling, and ho 1 was doing well when I landed down rt his end of the earth with a question. Ho didn't hear me at all. I might as well have been in the Klondike for all ho eared. He was twirling so that his little thumbs looked like a pinwheel. “ ‘William,’ I shouted, with a voice that jarred ho stove door open and broke a small boy’s slate across the room. William woke up and looked at me in a dazed fash ion. “ ‘ls that all you can do in class?’ I thundered. "Quick as a flash eamo the reply: ‘No, air; I can do it backward just ns fast.’ And to make his words good ho began to twirl those thumb* backward at lightning speed.”—Pittsburg Dispatch. An Intricate Question. Officialdom in Germany has been com pelled by a bicyclist to give deep thought *o the question “When two streets Inter sect, in which street is the point of inter section?” At Breslau Mcycles are forbid den on certain street*. A rider going along • street where they are allowed followed it across a prohibited street and was arrested in tbe middle of the road. Ho asserted that ba was in one street, tho policeman that he was in the other, the lower court that b* was in neither and should not be fined, and th* upper court that ho wha in forbidden street-and « "V » - Tax Receivers Notice for 1898. | I will be at tho different Precincts for the purpose of receiving your State and County Tax returns on the following ’ date*: April April May.
