President Lincoln and Admiral
Porter.

Judge Mills, writing to the Grant Co.
Herald tells an anecdote which is new to
US, and by the way good one In speak
ing of Admiral Porter, he says:
.'He abounds in anecdotes and was fav-
orite of the great President Mr.. Lincoln
told him he liked the SEA anecdotes-these
were all new-he had heard all the anec-
dotes that were in vogue on the land and
had amended revamped and told them all
himself So Porter told Lincoln of his in
viting the Bey Of Tunis on board his ship
to witness a concert which he Porter was
to lead He was then lieutenant. He
understood his Moslem friend was great
lover of music. He seated his performers
in front of his majesty and began tuning
up he drew several long strokes across
the violin. The Bey was in ecstaces. while
the different instruments sounded their
preparatory notes; he thought it would
charm the Houries in paradise-the instru
ments at length reaching the same key, the
performers dashed off into some soul stir
ring airs, while he Porter watched the
effect on the countenance of his royal guest
He was evidently disappointed, and declar-
ed he did not relish the jargon The young
lieutenant then tried some plaintive pieces,
"Home, sweet home" "Old Lang Syne,"
and the like. but with no better success,
he then tried medley Of every thing he
could think Of, till his instruments failed,
and the Bey no longer concealed his dis
gnst The performers commenced tuning
up'' again, and at once the countenance Of
the potentate became radiant with pleasure.
30 that is divine sound" exclaimed the
Bey, "Why" exclaimed Porter in rage,
that is not music at all, that is only tunsnq
upp "Let US have tuning up said the
B y, your music is barberons." OF course
Mr.. LincoIn's humor Immediately gave the
anecdote an application. "Well that puts
me in mind Of my friend Gen. Mcclellan
said Lincoln .'his tuning up'' was mag
nifcent, bat his music pretty nerrly ruined
me-" In Lincoln and Porter the land and
sea, The prairie and ocean met together, and
the breezes Of congenial humor alternated
between them. Lincoln was like head
land in its vast and negligent strength,
Porter az murcurial and resistless as the
wave that dashed against It's base each was
Self-madc, or rather the product Of Ameri
car institutions. easily receiving the impress
Of new ideas, and the image Of a new era.
