WAsHINGroN, Aug. l3.-Goy. Tod of Ohio,
senator Cowan Of Pennsylvania, senator lIar-
ris Of New York, and several other persons
of large influence, had an interview with
president Lincoln this morning. Several gen
tlemen were also present AND took part in the
conversation. The purpose of the interview
relates to an important military demonstration.
1t would not be proper to reveal what it was
Or the commanders who were proposed
to undertake it, but it was earnestly
pressed, and several of the gentlemen
insisted that it would inflict tremendous
blow upon the rebellion. 1t is understood
that other loyal governors of northern and
western states have had the proposed move
mcnt under consideration and have written to
the war department urging that it shall be
made forthwith. The cabinet will take up the
matter tomorrow, when a decision will be
made without delay. Nothing was said in the
interview to-day about CONSUMPTION.

Now, Mr.. Wilbur, you're a wise, Christian
man. What ought brother to do? Hubby put
her knife in the pan, set the pan on the floor,
crossed her hands in her lap, and looked
straight at the minister The parson had re-
covered his composure, and sat with look
in his face as if his thoughts had suddenly
flown backward two thousand years, while his
eyes seemed looking at something way in the
future beyond this life
Ezekiel" said he, gravely, sit thy brother
sin against thee, and turn and say, 4 repent,
thou shalt forgive him." But" said Hubby,
she hasn't said Il repent yet; he's only said,
Pm coming back And then l put it right
to the parson, for I'd read the chapter only
that morning, before breakfast, and so had it
all fresh in my mind; and said. 20 genera

ever seen have been like them ash apples on
the shores Of the Dead Sea- and if Abraham
ant his father, then Jonathan Can't be his
brother any longer, for dear brother Jonathan

sides, parson, Jonathan is only the elder
brother of that story. And them" says l,
'that rascal Of a partner doesn't say, Make
