Hill, of Minnesota, as consul at Asuncion, Paraguay, makes the fourth attempt which the state department has made to fill this po- sition since the present administration began, In November, 1838, Frederick Ellison, of In- diana, was appointed. He made some in- quiries and found that the climato was so un- healthy that Americans found it dificult to live there, ronsequently he declined the offer of the place and it remained unfilled until November of the same year, when Samuel A. Wolton, of Kentucky, was offered the pla and nominpted for it, but he, too, declined last March. Rule Letcher. of Mis- souri, was anxious torepresent his country as consul and he was appointed to Asuncion. Now he has grown tired of the place and resigned. One of the difficulties in the wa, of filling the office is the fact that the salary is 50 small and the s of reaching the post 80 great that it is a very undesirable a financial standpoint.

It is said that the report of the engineer, written over a year ago, has hus not been priuted yet, although the one compiled in this year has been placed in tho hands of the compositor. Those interested in the work say the delay is due to a desire on the part of the public printer to favor a democratic printing louse in New York, where the maps and drawings are 1o be e ecuted. ‘This report is to contain about 150 maps and drawings, und was intended for the of congress in the compilation of the river and harbor bill buring the last session of con- gress. Of course there would be no senso in publishing it now, asits day of use the pust. 1t can be of no avail now, and money spent in the work willbe money waseed. The printing establishiment in Now York is dly to the administration, and it _is the desire of the public printer to favor this in- stitution with this political plum. 1f arepub- lican public printer had done such a thing and not made the contractor suffer for the delay and great 1oss of money it muet cutail whether it is now published or not there would have been such a democratic howl as was never heard before. The most reprehien- sible part of this favoritism und delay is that theve was no bidding for the work, but it wis iven out with a pure and simple desire to avor an wdministration organ.

Correspondence Detroit Free Press: An amusing adventure is related as having happened to the Bank of Eng- land, which had committed the unpar- donable sin of refusing to_disc large bill drawn by Anselm Rothschild, of Frankfort, on Nathan Rothschild, of London. 'The bank had hautily replied that they discounted only their own bills, not those of private persons; but they had to do with one stronger than the bank. “Private persons?’ exclaimed Nathan when the fact was reported to him., I will make those gentlemen see what kind of private persons we are.” The first pocketbook being emptied and the first bag full, he passed them to hisclerk and received asccond,and thus continued till the bank closed. The baron had employed seven hours to change £21,000, but as he had also nine employes of his house engaged in the same manner, it resulted that the house of Rothsehild had drawn £210,000 in gold from the bank of England, and that he had so occupicd the tellers thatno other person could change a single note. Three weelks latc athan Rothschild —who had employed the interval in gathering all the five pound notes he could procure in England and on the continent—presented himself at the bank. He drew from his pocketbook a five-pound note, and they naturally counted out five sovereigns, at the same time looking quite astonished that the Baron Rothschild should have person- ally troubled himself for such a trifle. The baron examined one by one the coins, and put them in a little canvas bag, then drawing out another note—a third—a hundredth—he never put the picces of gold into the bag without serupulously examining them, and in some instances trying them in the bal- anee, us the law gave him the right to do. Everything which bears the stamp of occentricity has always plensed the English. They were, therefore, the first day, very much amused at the little pique of Baron Rothschild. They ‘mlulmd less when they suw him return the next duy, at the opening of the sle, tlanked by his nine clervks, and followed this sime by drays to carry the specie. They laughed not at all when the king of barkers said with irouic simplicity: “These gentlemen have refused to pay my bills. I havesworn not to keep theirs. At their leasure—only I notify them that I have enough to cmploy them for two months ? *For two months! ‘Eleven millions in gold drawn from Bank of England which they have never possessed.” The bank took something to be done. Next morning notice appeared in the journals that he forth the bank would pay Roths- child’s bills the same us their own, sl Lease of a store for sale in very choice business location near Boyd's opera alarm.
