A GENERAL From TAYLoR's SHOP.

A GENERAL From A TAYLoR's SHOP.
The N. Y. Evening Post relates one
of those romantic incidents which are
so apt to he told of the rise Of distin-
guished men. Twenty years ago a
member of Congress from a Western
State received letter from boy, un-
accompanied by any recommendations,
asking to be appointed to West Point.
He paid no attention to the matter un-
Ill some weeks after, when, happening
to be in the village from which the let
ter was sent, curiosity led him toinquire
after the boy. He was directed TO a
tailor's shop, where he found the lad
sitting cross legged on a bench, mend
ing a pair of old pants, and studying
from book of abstruse science lying
before him. The member asked him
why he wanted to 60 to West Point ?
because / feel that l am capable of
something better than mending breech-
es," he frankly replied. A prolonged
conversation so pleased the Congress-
man that he gave the lad the appoint
ment. The member is now Secretary
Smith, of Indiana, ard the youth Gen.
Burnside, COMMANDMENTS Chief of the
Army of the Potomac. We should
not be surprised if that boy-an excel
lent specimen of our Northern mudsills
were destined to hoist the American
flag to its old place on the Capitol al
Richmond.
