OFFICIAL MoDEsTY.-The head of Washing
ton has disappeared from the new issues of five
taken its place. This latter is the likeness of
Mr.. S. NJ. Clark, who has charge of the print
ing bureau in the Treasury. His experiment
has not met with popular favor. The people
prefer Washington to Clark, and the newspa-
Pers throughout the country have given express
sion to that sentiment. The result is that the
House Of Representatives, on Thursday last,
placed in an appropriation bill a proviso pro-
hibiting the placing the portrait Of any living
person on any of the currency notes or bonds
issued by the Treasury of the United States.

The SECRETARY oF WAR.-The National n
tslligmcer, which seems to be the organ Of the
President, and which certainly has, during the
last few months, foreshadowed his action upon
many important matters, makes the following
significant allusion to the Secretary Of War:
Gift be claimed that the peculiar qualiica-
tons Of Mr.. Stanton for the extraordinary juno
ture of the war justified his incumbency here
tofore. the same reasons demonstrate the i'm
policy of his retention in time of peace. HIS
expulsion from the Cabinet by President John

The New York Tribune says, the reason why brakes
Plantation Bitters universally used and have
such immense sale, is that they are always made up
to the original standard of highly invgoratng material
and of pure quality although the prices have largely
advanced" etc.
The Tribune just hits the nail the head. The
Plantation Bitter, are not only made Of pure material
but the people are told what Is The Recipe is pub
lished around each bottle, and the bottles not
duced in size. At least tweDey limitations and counter
feits have sprung up. They impose upon the people
once and that's the last Of them.
The Plantation Bitters are now used in all the Gov
eminent Hospitals recommended by the best phys
cians and warranted to produce immediate bene

We have all read, says the Detroit Free
Press, Of the humane and wise Yankee who
conceived the plan OF saving the fir and the
lives too of HE beaver-by catching and
shearing their fur once year, instead Of kill
ing and stripping their skins from their bod
ies-and we have supposed it, good conceit,
but 10 no way true or possible. But we
may have been mistaken. lt appears that
there is gentleman by the name Of Stratton,
a farmer in the western part Of the State,
who, in another way, has accomplished an
equivalent result. Having a fondness for an
imals, he fancied pair ofyoung elk, that he
saw few years ago in Indiana, aud bought
them. He brought them hom8, and in rais-
ing them he and his boys petted them, and
the elk repaid them by becoming quite tame.
There seemed no reason why they should not
increase aud multiply. They did, and Mr..
Stratton became eatisded that it would not
be difficult 10 raise herd of them. He
therefore fenced in large tract Of billy land
where they could have pasture and shade, and
plenty Of range, and there the elk throve.-
No dogs molested them, for the bucks we're
too mighty for them.
The upshot Of it is that Mr. Stratton raised
sixty elk, and with no more trouble, and not
much Of any more expense, than so many
cattle. But now comes another curious fact
Of the business-how to find market for
them. 1t so happened that somebody bought
pair and sent them as present to Vic
tor Emanuel, who is not only fond Of animals
but mas fne park in which to keep them.-
They lived aud bore the voyage well, and
proved quite satisfactory. In due time an
order came from the King of Italy for an in
creased supply, which arrived safely, and in
the end some thirty of these wild American
elk we're transferred from the woody hills Of
Western New York to tne pleasant parks of
the King of Italy, at prof; to the enterpris-
ing farmer Of some $500 each, and there, no
doubt they are browsin; to this day.
