THE FIRST STRATEGIsT IN EUROPE
General Won Moltke has retired to his quar-
tiers, and is closeted with his maps, making
new plans for the further progress of the
campaign, and for the occupation of Vienna.
This skillful strategist, who has been the
chief director of the movements by which
the three Prussian armies starting from diff
ferent points, were collected at the necessary
hour on the field of Konigratz, has never,
except at that battle. appeared in front of
ting calmly at his desk, he has traced on the
maps the course of his troops, and, by means
of the field telegraph, has flashed his orders
to the different generals in more Immediate
command with such skill and foresight that
not movement has failed, and the combina-
ton has been made exactly at the right mo-
ment.
A quick, light blue eye, high forehead,
and well-set figure, mark him an intellec-
tual and energetic man. but, though quick
in action, he is SO prudent in discourse and
so guarded in his speech, that, from this
quality and his wide knowledgeof European
language, he is known in the army as the
man who is silent with seven tongues. Care
full and laborious, he has worked out with
his own hand and himself calculated almost
every detail in the operations in which he
has taken Europe by surprise, from the light
ming rapidity of his strokes and the tremen-
dous consequences of his dispositions, be-
fore which the Austrian army has withered
away almost before it was gathered together,
and which have won for him from his coun-
trymen the title of the first strategist in Eu-
rope Correspondence London Times.

EYELETs, HOOP SKIRTS AND IVORY
There are some little items in the tariff bill
which hardly arrest the eye, which give en-
ployment to thousands, and therefore require
considerable treatment at our hands. Among
these permit me to cite one or two examples.
Eyelets made of brass, and then timed, as
an article of commerce have but recently
been noticed in shoes and boots, and though
invisible in other articles of ladies' wear,
they are still there. find that of these
small and very cheap articles, costing no
more than seventeen or eighteen cents per
thousand, the amount We consume annually
rises to the respectable sum of $4,00O,000-
Hoop-skirts is another article OF extensive
use, for which we are supposed to be indebt-
ed to the genius of Eugene, who, failing to
rule the Emperor of the French, has great
audacity in ruling French fashions. In New
York City alone $4,000 persons find employ
ment in all the branches of the hoop-skirt
manufacture. The supply of ivory cannot
be increased, and it is supposed to be cont.n-
ually diminishing. 1t takes 10000 elephants,
it is said, to furnish the supply of single
manufacturing town-Sheffield, in England.
Our wants are large and increasing. 1t is
proposed. therefore, to remove the small du-
ty now imposed upon this useful as well as
beautiful article, and as this gigantic game,
from which ivory is obtained, is hunted by
persons without regard to race or color, I
presume none will object-Aorr;lrs Tariff
Speech.

but which was rejected. It was brief
and to the purpose:
Here lies she SON of the Great Napoleon
He was born King of Rome,
He died an Austrian Colonel
Afraid of the Itch.

Pete Milestone, of Arkansas, was
once travelling on horseback through
the interior of the State, and
called one evening, to stay all night, at
a little log house near the road, where
entertainment and postoffice were Kept.
Two other strangers were there,
and the mail rider rode up just about
dark. Supper being over, the mail car
rier and the three gentleman were inyi-
ted into a small room furnished with
good fire and two beds, which were to
accommodate the four persons for the
night. The mail carrier was little
shabby, dirty-looking wretch, with
whom none of the gentlemen liked the
idea of sleeping. Pete MILESTONE eyed
him closely, as he asked:
"Where do you sleep tonight, my
lad %
'Tll thleep with you, | reckon" lisped
the youth, "or one o. them other tellers,
| don't care which,"
The other two gentlemen took the
hint, and occupied one of the beds to-
gether Immediately, leaving the other
bed and the confab to be enjoyed by
Pete and the mail boy together as best
they could. Pete and the boy COM
menced hauling off their duds, and Pete
getting in the bed first, and wishing to
get rid of sleeping with the boy, re-
marked very earnestly
'AIy friend, I'll tell you before hand,
Pve got the itch, and you'd better not
get in here with me, for the disease is
catching
The boy, who was just getting in
bed, too, drawled cut very coolly-
''Wol, l reckon that don't make bit
o difference. Pve had it now nearly
these Uneven years, and into the bed he
pitched, along with Pete, who pitched
out in as great hurry as if he had
walked up hornets nest in bed.
The other gentlemen roared, and
the mail boy, who had got peaceably
possession of the bed to himself drawl-
ed out
s'Why, you must be tibet o. darned
fules; nam and dads got the catch a
heap wurth than / is, and they thlep in
that bed lath night when they wath
here at the quiltin."
The other two strangers were now
IN a worse predicament than Pete had
been in, and, bouncing from their nests
like the old house had been on fire, strip
ped, shook clothes, put them on again,
ordered their horses, and, though it
was nearly ten O. clock, they all three
left and rode several miles to the next
town before they slept, leaving the i'm
perturbable mail carrier to the bliss of
scratching and sleeping alone.

The President at St. Louis.

In his address to the people of St-Louis,
President johnson spoke as follows. His
speech is too long to copy entire:
81 could trace this little closer, but will
not do it here tonight but when you talk
about New Orleans. and talk about the causes
and consequences that resulted from proceed
ings of that kind, perhaps, as have been
introduced here and you have provoked
questions of this kind, Though it does not
provoke me0 will tell you a few wholesome
things that have been done by this Radical
Congress. In connection with New Orleans
and the extension of the elective franchise
know that have been traduced and abus-
ed; know it has come in advance OF me
here, as it has elsewhere, that have attemp-
ted to exercise an arbitrary power in resist
ing laws that were intended to be forced
upon the government. Cheers and cries OF

power; ["Bully for you,"] that / had aban-

that was traitor [cheers] because 1 exer
