An extremely instructive thing has (says Vanity Fair) become pretty generally known. A clerk in a Government office wrote an anonymous letter to the Standard, making certain complaints. A high official from the office called ou the editor of the Standard, and gently required to know the writer of (he letter. The editor sent down two full grown compositors, and the high official was conveyed from the premises in a most undignified manner. This is the most useful proceeding for which we bare j lately had to thank the Standard. New •' Stand "Point.—Jones, junior— " Come and have a drink, old man." Brown—"Can't, I've joined the No-Drink-except»at»Meal'Times Association. and quite given up that sort of thing, But, look here: I don't mind if you'll stand me ft dinner."
