The Last of the Associated Survivors of the War of 1812. ‘TER STORY OF JAMES LAWRENSON, A VETERAN OF ‘THE WAR WITH GREAT BRITAIN, AND THE OLD- ‘EST EMPLOYE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HERE. ‘The death in Baltimore yesterday of Nathan- iel Watts, the last survivor but one of the Old Defenders’ Association of that city, recalls to mind a similar association which existed in this city. It was known as “The Association of the Survivors of the War of 1813 of the Dis- trict of Columbia.” When organized, in the Year 1855, there were 135 members enrolled, and they are now all dead with the exception of James Lawrenson, who was at the first meet- ing, elected secretary, and still retains the of- fice.

But he was there as a drummer boy, and says that he was a good drummer. SIXTY-EIGHT YEARS IN THE POSTAL SERVICE. Six years later he entered the Baltimore post-office asa clerk. There was at that time a clerical force of four clerks and three letter- carriers in that office. Inthe year 1834 he was appointed to a position in the Post-Office nartoant in this city, and has been con- nected with the it ever since. ¥ as termed, organized in tity city in 1886 Ste was term cit 3 Sy members were W.

Mr. Lawrenson says that when he came to Washington and entered the Post-Office Depart- ment the entire clerical force numbered sev- enty clerks, He says that at that time all the clerks were $800 per annum, and an or- peteetiolinry ‘den Mr Bares to tad fe nm Mr. , to in~ ersdvk whee ayaege the salaries, A “somt] mit went fore proper congressio: committees, iting to them the arduous daties the clerks had to perform and the mea- of the com ion. Their represen- tions proved so effective that asubcommittee was appointed to visit the De ent and make an examination of the methods of doing business, with the view of being able to deter- mine exactly what was needed. The committee of clerks having received the assurance that their petition would be attended to withdrew, and their at the Department created great joy among the clerks. True to their promise, the congressional subcommittee a few banat metre made their es at the partment and, calling upon the Postmaster- General, informed him t they had come to see for themselves the work that was bein done with the p' of recommending suc! Measures as would relieve the burdens of the clerks, The Postmaster-General expressed his tification that the committee had come to De er reonally and at once sum- moned the chief of the division of postmaster’s accounts, where the bulk of the clerks were employed. The De, ent then occupied the old Blodgett Hotel building, which occupied the E-street front of the square covered by the resent building. ‘The third story was one a rooms where most of the clerks had their le A CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE ASTONISHED. Under the guidance of the chief, whose office ‘wason one of the lower floors, the congres- sional committee ascended the stairs and reach- ing the door of the room and looking in, they saw nothing but « collection of vacant desks. Not a clerk was in sight. ee all ay eoniep was the et to a colo! , Who was rants employe in sight, 5 eae ‘Dese all gone to de races,” promptly re- sponded the messenger. “Gone to the races!” exclaimed the amazed committee and the chief. Then one of the members of the committee, recollect the personnel of the delegation that came before them at the Capitol, inquired: “Where is Mr. Simpson, of the Foundry Church? Has he gone to the races; “Oh, no, sah,” said messenger, “but he never comes to the office on race days, use he knows none of the other clerks will be here.” “But where is Rev. Mr, Lij , Who said he was a preacher’ inquired another member of the con; jional committee. “I hope,” he added, with some sarcasm, “that he not gone to the races.” “Well, you see, sah,” explained the messen- er, ‘that the Reverend Lipscomb lives across e river, and he never comes in on race The committee made no further inquiries, and it is needless to say that the bill for the Pree of the overworked ‘clerks was not intro- luces Judge Lawrenson hasa good many stories to tell of the old times, and he enjoys a laugh very much. In fact, he is an active vigor- ous old man, and is capable of a good man: years of efficient work opine desk. “| —>——_ TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1888, The Potomac Flats Title. 4 BRANCH OF THE CASE ARGUED IN THE DISTRICT in Gendeal 7 In the Court in Ge: Term to-day branch of the Potomac Flats case—United ‘States against Martin F.

From the New York Herald. Mgr. Galimberti, the able and affable displo- matist who holds the post of papal nuncio at the court of Vienna, is not in the pope's good booksat present. He had not succeeded, dif on, in persuading the German kaiser to reopen the question of the temporal power when he visited the vatican. Mgr. Galimberti’s story is remarkable.

When Cardinal Jacobini fell ill in 1887 he was brought into close relations with the pope. For some time he virtually acted as papal secretary, and 80 won the pope's confidence that he was chosen fora ial mission to Berlin, which he accom- lished. brilliantly, He became nuncio and archbishop about eighteen months ago, and, in the ordinary course, will soon be created a car- —————+ee__ Rescmep Arter Tarety Years.—The fourth Dudieian lecture was delivered in Harvard Col- lege =% last night by Prof. George P.
