His I's

General Ogle, wheu submitting a letter for approval by tbe Peuusylvania legislature, vhich he had addressed on their behalf to the newly elected president, General Andrew Jackaon, was iaterrupted by a dapper little f ellow from Philadelphia thus: "Pardon me, general, I do not wish to assnme to make a snggestion to so distinguished a gentleman as yourself, but I cannot refrain from saying that it is customary in the east, and I may say in almost all the civilized countries of Europe, to write with a capital 'I' instead of the small 'i' in using this personal prououn in epistolary correspondentie. ' ' General Ogle drew down his heavy brows, piercing the dandy's marrow with the flerce shaf t of scorn that shot from his eye. "Sir, " said he, beginning with a hiss and ending with a roar, "when I write to such a great man as General Andrew Jackson, Democratie president of the United States, I abase myself, I abase myself, sir. I use as small au 'i' as I can put on paper. But, sir, i f I should ever get to such a low pitch as to have to write to such a little snipe as you are, I'd uae an 'I, ' sir, that would ñll two pages of foolscap. "
