"OLD ROUGH AND READY .

We have heard several anecdotes
lated Of General Taylor by gentleman
who served under hun in Florida.
The following IL among the number !:
During the war with the ScmlnolcS
the army was frequently supplied with
corn which had become damaged by
exposure to the weather. Get. Tay.
Tor had horse which was called Clay
Bank, very good animal, but he dad
not fancy Uncle Sans IatonS. The
General used 10 partakc of the same
food as the soldiers under HIM, aud So
did Clay Bank, so far as the corn was
concerned, but he was little dainty.
The General WAS very fond of holni.
ny, and musty corn made anything
but agreeable. diet. lie would not lay
himself liable to the suspicion Of pick.
ing, to the prejudice Of the soldiers
and so old Clay Bank would le let
loose among the sacks of corn; and az
ter smelling very carefully, tie saga
ciouS animal would commence rnnw
ing a hole IN one that pleased him
The General would watch the mnnru.
vre until he saw Clay Bank had made
a selection, then calling his servant,
would order HIM TO have. Clay Bank
stabbed immediately, ior fear hc might
do mischief "but," he would say "a,
the animal has gnawcd a hole IN the
bag take out a quart Of the corn and
make some homny." Thc tuck was
played several times, but by and-by
1t became known and wherever Clay
Bank gnawcd into sack, sweet corn
was to be found and the incident be

GEN. TAYLOR HEADED.

The simplicity that marks General
Tuylors personal appearance and hab-
It's, has become subject of universal
fame. A curious scene occurred at
at Point Isabel, at the time when Com,
Conner appeared off that place with
his fleet, to give succor to the army of
occupation. Com. Conner is not only
strict in his dress, but has Philadel-
phia nicely about it. lie appears in
full and splendid uniform on all pub
lie occasions, being the exact contrast,
of this particular, Of Gen. Taylor
At the proper time, Com. Conner
sent word to Gen. Taylor that he
would come ashore to pay HIM visit
Of ceremony. This put old Rough
and Ready" into tremendous excite
ment. If Com. Conner, had quietly
come up to his tent and given him n
sailors gripe, and sa, down on a camp
chest and talked over matters IN an
old fashioned way, Gen. Taylor would
have been prepared but for the most
carefully dressed officer in the navy,
commanding the finest fleet, TO come
IN full uniform, surrounded by all the
pltlering pornp OF splendid equip
mcnts, to pay visit Of ceremony, was
more than Gen. Taylor had, without
some effort, nerve to 60 through but
ever equal TO emergencies, he deter
mined to compliment Com. Conner
and through him the navy, by appear
ing in full unliorm-a thing his offl-
GERS associated with HIM for years had
never known.
In the meanwhile Com Conner was
was cogitatlng over the most proper
way TO compliment Gen. Taylor -
Having heard Of his peculiar disregard
for military dress, he concluded he
would make n visit IN manner com
porting to Gen. Taylors habits, and
consequently equipped himself N PLAIN
white drilling, and unattended came
on shore.
The moment that old Rough and
Ready heard that Com Conner had
landed. he abandoned some heavy
work he was personally attending TO a

The warden was dumblounded, and no
wonder 'oor Philan would have spoken,
but ne,Iher party would lie, him. The Law.

evident. Ia half an hour Lady &. was free,
and Pat Philan, her legitimate husband, 4

was in q dream, and the creditors thought

Well, you must know. about week after

Eight flhe twenty monarchs are Prot
