Mis hrother-in-law, I Colonel Tim Lee, as the l'osi calls him, I was lasl Saturday appointed immigrant iusieetor at Wilmington, N. N. C, at a salary of five dollars a day. Tim kept n liar room in Knleigh sonic years ago, and afterwards rarried on the same Imsiness in the I'ost building in this city. So seductive were the cocktails that he concocted here, that he won the lavor ol many prominent iiemocrats; such as Pat Collins and Tim Campbell, and by their in ftueiu-e secured a position in the government printing office under the last administration. As soon as Mr. Harrison took his seat, Tim blossomed out as full-Hedged KrptiMiean and has done some some tall talking for the grand old party at tile Ivhhitt house.

He told me that lie would have nothing to do lierealtcr with a party that rewarded its enemies instead o! its friends. Mr. Lawrence II II, u younger brother t our Licuteii!'

I hope he will buy the house owned and recently occupied by Colonel Wilson, who was lately appointed siiicriiitcnilcut ol the military academy at West Point.
