A Gentleman Just returned from
Washingto relates the following Incl.
dent that transpired ut the White House
the other day. Some gentlemen were
present from the West, excited and
troubled about the commissions or omis.
sions of the Administration. The Pres
ident heard them patiently, and then re-
piled: Gentlemen, suppose all the
property you were worth was in gold
and you had placed it in the hands OF
Blondin to carry across the Niagara
river on rope, would you shake the
cable, or keep shouting out TO him,
Blondin, stand up little straighter;
Bfondm, stoop'a little more; go a little
faster; lean little more to the north
lean n little more TO the south?' No,
you would hold your breath as well as
your tongue, and keep your hands of
until he was safe over. The Govern
ment are carrying an immense weight.
Untold treasures are in their hands,
They are doing the very best they can.
Don't badger. Keep silence, and Wei
get you safe across"

Az AFFECTING INcIDENT.-Two of
fcers, wounded in the battle of the
3Uth, before Petersburg, we're going
home last Fridap by the Erie route
When the train neared Owego, a well
dressed lady accompanied bySa child
aud gent tleman, entered the car and
took seat In front Of them. As the
officers talked over the recent engage
meuts at Petersburg, informing each
other of various acquaintances who
had fallen, one remarked: "There was
Capt. Warwick, of the Tooth New
York, as braye q fellow as ever lived,
he was shot through.the head and in
stantly killed." The lady referred to
instantly sprang to her feet, snd throw
ing up her hands, exclaimed, "Oh don't
say that; he was my husband" and
then burst into an agony of tears
This was the first intelligence she had
received of her husbands death. The
child with her was his daughter, and
the gentleman his brother There were
very few dry eyes in that car for the
rest of the journey to Elmira.
