How a private fooled Gen. Hooker.

The highest of these CREASED poles had twenty
dollar greoaback' tackled at the top for the
man who could reach it, and besides this prize,
nm informed that Gen. Hooker who was pres
eat and seemed to enjoy the relaxation hugely,
causcd II to be proclaimed that the soldier who
should be successful at this pole should receive
in addition to tho money furlough of twenty
days This caused the most lively and excited
competition among the boys, WHO toiled and
sweated ike horses, but the grease was SO thick
and tho pole so high that 1t looked doubtful
whether any one could reach the top. But one
sharper proved too many for the crowd, and
astonished everybody by going up and leisurely
pooketing the note. Then he descended, and
going to the front Of the stand where Gov. Cur
tin and Gen. Hooker were sitting, lie made his
salute to the hero Of Antietam. The General
took his name, regiment and brigade, and or
aered his fnrlough, and then pulling out roll
of notes, he gave the happy private another
twenty dollars, to help him to enioyit. Thejoke
remains to be told. After tie fortunate rogue
had got outside of the ring he showed the crowd
how he had fooled the General He said be was
determined to hare the Through, and as be had
seen so many slip down be concluded that 1t was
impossible to get up without strategy" So he
got two eayryeombs from y neighboring wagon
pack, and lifting up his pants strapped them on
his legs az the knees. With the aid Of these he
defed the grease, and won the prize.
