Gen. Grant Receives his Commission.

The President of the United States formally
presented to Major General Grant his commits.
sion as Lieutenant General, on Wednesday, the
9th inst. The ceremony took place in the Cabi-
net Chamber in the presence of the entire Cabi
net, General Halleck, Representative Lovejoy,
General Rawley, Colonel Comstock, of General
Grants Staff, the son of General Grant, and Mr..
Nicolay. The President addressed him thus
GENERAL GRANT-In consequence of the Ma
tion's appreciation of what you have done, and
the existing great struggle, you are now present
ed with this commission constituting you Lieu
tenant General in the Army of the United States.
With this high honor devolves upon you also a.
corresponding responsibility. As the country
herein trusts you, so under God it will sustain
you. I scarcely need to add that what here
speak for the Nation, goes my own hearty per-
sonal concurrence.
To which General Grant replied as follows
Mr.. PREsIDENT-I accept this commission
with gratitude for the high honor conferred.
With the aid of the noble armies that have fought
many fields for our common country, it
will be my earnest endeavor not to disappoint
your expectations. I feel the full weight of the
responsibilities now devolving upon me, and
know that if they are met it will be due to those
armies, and, above all to that Providence which
leads both nations and men.
The President then introduced the General to
all the members of the Cabinet, after which the
company was seated and about half an hour was
spent in social conversation.

WHAT MASSACHUSETTS OWES TO AN Axe
The landing of the Mayfower at Plymouth Rock
is thus accounted for by Boston 1etter-writer :
!" Down in the cabin of the Mayfower was an
old fashioned Fireplace sort of stove, wherein
our Pilgrim Fathers burned much wood which
they used to split for use; and, contrary to all
the present discipline shipboard, they split it
upon the quarterback. Thus far, no particular
ly bad results from this early acting out of the
democratic principle. But when the axe was not
in use they were accustomed to keep it in the
binnacle There it, of course, attracted the COM
pass and it was the attractions of the compass
and no attractions of Massachusetts
great we may think them, or however little South
Carolina may consider them, now-that brought
the Mayfower to Plymouth"

Pets in the Army.

81 5

The following shows that nature is the same in
the army as out of it: 8s 3el.lf
s'They have the strangest pets in the army,
that nobody would think of taking to- at home,
and yet they are little touches of the gentler
nature that gives you some such cordial feeling,
when you see them, as am told residents of
Bourbon Co., KY, habtually experienced at so
much gallon. One of the boys has carried
red squirrel through s'thick and thin" over
thousand miles. " Bun" eats bareback like
veteran, and has the freedom of the tent
Another's affections overflow upon slow-wink-
ing, unspeculative little owl, captured in Arkan-
sas, and bearing name with a classical smack
to it-Minerva. A third gives his heart to
young Cumberland Mountain bear; but chief
among the camp-pets are dogs. Riding on
the saddle-bow, tucked into baggage-wagon,
mounted knapsack, growing under
gun, are dogs brought to premature end as
and tails, and yellow at that pug-nosed,
square-headed brutes, sleek terriers, delicate
morsels ofspaniels. "Tary, Blanche, and Sweet
heart, little dogs and all. ~ A dog like horse,
comes to love the rattle and crash of muslxet and
cannon. There was one in an Illinois regiment
and rather think regarded as belonging to it,
though his name might not be on the muster
roll, that chases halfspent shot as kitten frol-
les with ball of worsted. He has been under
fire and twice wounded, and left the tip of his
tail at the battle of Stone River. Woe to the
man who shall wantonly kill him. But was
especially interested in the fortunes of little
white spaniel that messed with battery, and
delighted in the name of s'Dot." No matter
what up that fellows silken coat must be
washed every day, and there was need of it, for
when the battery on the march they just
plunged him into the sponge bucket-not the
tidiest chamber imaginable-that swings like it's
more peaceful cousin, the tar bucket under the
rear axle of the gun carriage-plumped him into
that, clapped on the cover, and Dot was good for
an inside passage. One day the battery crossed
a stream, and the water came well up to the guns.
Nobody thought of Dot, and when all across a
gunner looked into the bucket it was full of
water, and Dotwas as dead as a little dirty door
mat.

ROYAL DOMAINS IN WAsHINaToN.-f our
readers should be told that some of the finest To-
cations in the city of Washington were once
owned by the Crowned Heads of Europe, many
of them would be disposed to consider the state
ment {" fish story" And yet it would be per-
fectly true. Tt is matter of record that when
the city was laid out, lots were assigned to the
sovereigns of foreign nations sites for the res
idence of their ambassadors. A document still
exists, or at least did exist ten twelve years
ago, in the archives of the State Department.

similar present was made to the King of Spain,
and it is said that the Spanish ambassador re-
ceived handsome sum from our government to
enable him to build a mansion and commence
housekeeping. How the lands thus set apart for
foreign use came to be alieneated, it is impossi-
BILE to say, but we believe they have all long

the realms to which they once appertained.

THE ARKANSAS ELEorIoN.-Partial election
returns from eleven counties give more votes
than the whole number required by the Presi-
dents proclamation to place Arkansas in the
Union. Other counties to hear from--forty three

new State constitution, framed by the late con-
vention, was almost unanimously ratified, there
being SO far only 1877 votes against it. Arkansas
is thus declared a free State of the Union, by
majority of her own citizens. Gov. Isaac Muir
