POWER or HUNBUe.-An individual who
owned small tavern near the field of va
serloo, the scene of the last great aetien Of
Napoleon, was frequently questioned as 10
whether he did not possess some relics OF
the battle, and be has invariably and hon
estly answered in the negative.
He was very poor, and one day while. la
menting to neighbor not only his power
sy but the annoyance to which travellers
subject him, his friend cut him short with:
"Well make one help the other. Make
some relics!n
"But what can don' inquired the poor
man.
"Tell them that Napoleon or Wellington
entered your shop during the battle and sat
on that chair.
Not long after an English tourist en-
tered the tavern, and, inquiring for relies,
was told the chair story. The next com or
was told that Wellington had taken 3
drink, and the Wellington tumbler" was
accordingly sold. The third arrival gazed
with breathless wonder on the nail on
which Bonaparte had hung his hat The
fourth purchased the door posts between
which he had entered; and the fifth be-
came the happy purchaser Of the floor Il pom
which he had trodden.

keeper had not roof to cover his head,
and was sitting on bag Of gold in the
centre of deep pit, formed by selling the
earth upon which the house stood:

FREEDMEN's BUgEA Us.--We see il stated
that Gen. HowARD, Chief of the Freed :
mems Bureau Department at Washington
contemplates making complete tour of
all the Southern States during the present
month, for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the new relations between freed
men and employer can be sufficiently o.
tablished to admit of curtailing the opera
tions of the Bureau The Freedmen's
Bureau was designed by Congress to bssSa
temporary arrangement to ADJUST the diff
culties arising between the freedmen and
their late musters. Under the new order
of affairs, and when it shall be found that
these two classes, work tremendously to-
gether, the necessity for the Bureau will
cease to exist and it will be discontinued.
1t is understood to be the desire of the
President that such an inspection as Gen.
HOWARD is about entering upon shall be
made to ascertain definitely, the actual
condition of affairs between the freedmen
and employers Of the South, which will
determine whether the business shall be
maintained or discontinued.
Gen. HOWARD, is now on an official tour
OF inspection in Virginia.
