WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Cot-respondent.
Washington, D. C, April 12,h,?80.
Seme of the applicants for post
masterships display a pretty fair
idea of the appointing power. If the
application is addressed to the Presi
dent, the api'licunt dwells upon his
war reGord and rakes his list of
acquaintances WHh a Quo-tooth
comb to find someone who knows
the President personally. .:ko as
not the person found is a minister
who used to know General Harrison
iu Ir.dianapolis. The members o'
of thi3 particular brand of ministers
ire wonderful to contemplate. A
few duys since I saw a specimen
endorsement written by one of them
or a man who wants to be consul to
Melbourne. The let:er was six
pages long, and looked like a confi
dential offer of general advice.,
combined with a history of Indiana.
If the applicant has in his mind's
t)jo the rotund Christianity" of the
Postmaster General, he dwells strong
!y on his connectijn with some
Sunday Scbool,and if possible shows
that he is during, the wetk days i
conscientious business man doing a
large trade which it will be really a
sacrifice for him to even partially
abandon for the purpose of accept-
ng a postoffice. And yet, after due
onsideration ana prayer, he ha?
concludod that his wife will be able
to attend to the business while he
sits in the postoffice and occasionally
ihufiks letters and pnts fresh gum
jn eecone hand stamps. lie iiever

over r.ll otlirr so-called Combination Cabinets, arc:
JFtrsf, lhe eass and simplicity with which the
desk is chanj-ed from a library or Office Desk to a
T ype-writer Table . This change is effected by push
ing the lid covering the machine Lack in the rear of
cabinet it being a roller top removing it entire!
from Eight, thi:3 overcoming the objectionable board
snd sounder ia front cf the operator. The movaLis
top is perf-ctly fiat, is b:-ize covered, , and forms a com
plete writing desk when the machine is not in use.
1 he table ca vrhich the machine rests is so evrnly bal
anced by our patent adjustments that it needs bat a
;ii;;ht touch to bring the machine in position. &
tSecwd. The advantages of the swinging table
are:" The table is so balanced mar its center on pat
ent maleable iron arms, that when the machine
brought in place for use, it does not depend on ropes
or banr-ers at rear of platform for support, but is held
ricidiy in pl.ve by sts own weight, makiag it impossi
ble for the midline to be tumbled down an incline in
fcack of desk by the breaking of p. rear support. The
machine re st-; on patent slides which keeps the machine
ia place, and can be drawn oat beyond the desk, well
linger the operator's hand.
Third. The construction of the lid closinj
machine space makes it air tight, and the table hav
ing felt around its boarders thoroughly protects the
machine from dust.
i enrth The foot rest and the construction c
the table adjustments makes the desk as ridged ss
though the. top was one solid beard, which is a matter
5 great importance where a solid type-writing tabk is
required. ISO operator can do good work on a shaky
table.
