The CANNoN.--A cannon has Just been
cast for Fort wagner-the local fort of
Gold HiI-and will be mounted upon
neat carriage and taken to the Fort in
day OF two. The gun was cast under the
direction of Mr.. Blackman, but paid for
by public subscription, at Fulton Foun-
dry. 1t will belong to the public, and
used to FIRE salutes upon all proper occa-
sions, but more especially when news ar
rives of Union victories, whether In war
or politics. Mr.. Blackman and Mr.. Wag-
ner are both entitled to much credit for
the zeal displayed in obtaining and pro-
perly mounting the gun.

RuSAwAY.-Last Thursday morning a
team attached to wagon carelessly left
,unhitchcd IN the streets became frightened
and ran away turiously. In their course
the wagon TO which they were attached
came in contact with the hind wheel ola
wagon loaded with gain, standing in the
street, upon which little girl was sitting.
Fortunately the girl was not injured but
tho wagon was badly damaged. There
ought to be an ordinance prohibiting such
carlessness, and the marshall ought to b.
authorized and instructed to arrest every
person who leaves his team unhitched in
the streets: Every day property and life
is endangered by such reeklessness.

Mr.. LINCoLN's LAST ANEoDoTE.-A gentle
man just returned from Washington relates the
following incident that transpired at the White
House, the other day. Some gentlemen were
present from the West, excited and troubled
about the commission or omissions of the Ad-
ministration. The President heard them pa
tiently and then replied: Gentlemen, suppose,
all the property you worth was in gold,
and you had put it in the hands of Blondin, to
cross Niagara river on rope, would you shake
the cable, or keep shouting out to him, 'Blon-
din, stand up little straighter; Blondin stoop
little more; go little faster; lean a little
more to the north; lean little more to the
south?' No, you would hold your breath as
well as your tongue, and keep your hands off
until he was safe over. The Government is car
rying an immense weight. Untold treasures are
in their hands. They are doing the very best
they can. Don't badger. Keep silence, and
we'll get you safe across"

come by way of Richmond. DIR. Graham atten.
ded upon the rebel General Jenkins after he was
wounded and amputated his arm at the should
er, but in consequence of lack of attendance or
a lack of competency on the part of the rebel
surgeons hemorrhage took place and Jenkins
died. DR.. Graham was sent for a second time
just before Jenkins died, and had long con-
versation with him. Like old Falstaffhe "bab.
bled o. green fields" and spoke of his early
youth spent upon the old homestead on the
banks of the Ohio. He regretted that the war
had ever commenced and said that he had all
along hoped that the unhappy difficulties would
be settled that he might retire from the strife and
resume his peaceful life upon the banks of the
grand old Ohio. He was shot in the early part
of the engagement.

For some time past certain chicken COOP has
been observed to make frequent and regular
journies between this city and Washington. on
the ferry boats going up empty and returning
well filled with fine Shanghais. The poultry
traffic has ever been considered an honorable
one, and we have not learned what first drew
suspicion toward the integrity of the dealer in
questions but certain it is that one of those Curl
Gus chaps employed in this department took the
liberty OF inspecting this coop" for the purpose
of ascertaining the features of the latest improve
ments in that species of structure and his labors
were rewarded with the discovery that it's bot
tom was composed of tin, in the shape of a fat
shallow box; and a closer inspection revealed
the important item of several gallons of old rye.
contained in the aforesaid box. The game was
up; the chicken alias whiskey dealer was COM
pletely oversloughed The dodge is certainly an
ingenious one, and would probably not have
been discovered but for the fact that it was suo
gested that in place where cocktails were SO
numerous there must be something else at the
bottom of it.

continued his preparations, many eyes filled
with tears We had no expectation of ever be-
holding him again, and our sorrow was pure and
lasting afW zEs9
The hour at length arrived, and the lieutenant
came forward to pilot him out to his lonely post.
We shook his hand warmly, and then he left us,
apparently cheerful.
Slowly the hours passed away; pale Luna cast
a silver flood of light and sparkles of brilliant
beauty around, and the twinklng stars, like
sparkling sapphires gemmed on high, spread
radiant splendor earth. Sleep visited but
few of us that night, as our thoughts were con-
tinually wandering to Bill and his expected fate.
It must have been past midnight when the
sharp report of rifle heard, followed by
death-like groans. We all sprang fromou rude
beds, and fastened away to solve the mystery
We pressed forward, each moment expecting to
see the dead body of our friend but we were
agreeably surprised, reaching the post to find
him not only alive, but as calm and collected as
ever.
To all our eager questioning Bill made no an
swer, but pointed to the spot where the body of
a rebel lay, dressed in stolen uniform, whose
breath had mysteriously disappeared. AT length
the painful secret was solved; all was now clear
as daylight
The foe had been in the habit of covering the
most daring OF their scouts with the skin OF
swine, giving them a hoggsh appearance, the
better to deceive our pickets; then they would
cautiously approach until they were within
few feet of the sentinel, and, springing quickly
forward, they would catch him by the throat ere
he had time to make a defence In this coward
Iy way they had succeeded in dispatching a
number of our boys, until forbearance ceased to
be q virtue, and began to retaliate. They
thought themselves too much for the green Yam
KEGS but, as the sequel shows, they reckoned
without reason.
Bill went upon duty with the determination to
unravel the painful secret, or die in the attempt
For hours not a sound heard, music
from the denizens of the forest. But midnight
came faint noise was heard in the distance, and
Bill nerved himself for any emergency. The
sound increased in volume and soon dim form,
apparently some straying swine, approached,
seemingly unaware of his presence. He care
fully watched its every movement, and seeing
many strange actions, he was finally convinced
that it was human being, seeking glory with
much difficulty under false colors.
moment passed he raised his rifle, took de-
liberate aim, and fired. An agonizing groan
followed, and the shadowy form fell PROSTATE to
the earth. Upon examining the PROSTATE animal
we found it to be rebel major. But this stern
policy had a decided effect; for after that day
not one of our pickets ever mutilated. And
thus was the death of our companions avenged.

"BITE BIGGER, BILLY. "--One day a
gentleman saw two boys going along one
of the streets in New York. They were
barefooted Their clothes were ragged
and dirty, and tied together by piece, Of
string. One of the boys was perfectly
happy over half withered bunch Of
flowers he had just picked up in the
street. Il say, Billy" said he to his
companion, "wasn't somebody real good
to drop these ere posies jest where |
could fad them-thcy're so pooty and
nice? Look sharp, Billy, mebby you Il
find something bimeby." Presently the
gentleman heard his merry voice again
saying, ooh, jolly! Billy, if here ain t
most half peach, and it amt much dir,
ty, neither. Cause you hain't found
nothin' You may bite first Billy was
just going to take very little taste Of it,
when his companion said, "Bite Jilyer,
Billy. mebby we'll find another fore
long"
What a noble heart that boy had, in
spite of his rags aud dirt. He was ''do-
ing good in the way that we are speak
ing of. There was nobody for him to
be kind to but his companion in poverty
the poor ragged boy at his side. But
he was showing him all the kindness in
his power when lie said, "Bite bigger,
Billy" There was nothing greedy, no.
thing selfish about that boy. His con.
duet shows how even poor ragged boy
can do good by showing kindness.
"Bite bigger, Billy-mebby we'll find
another fore long" Who can help ad,
miring the noble heart Of that poor boy!
I would rather have chat boys kind and
