Jas Guthrie as Secretary Of the Trea'
snTy.

Jas Guthrie as Secretary of the Trea
snry.
Richardson in his Tribune correspond
ence, writes concerning our Secretaries
of the Treasury, from the administra-
ton of Washington down to the present
time. He thus speaks of James Guth-
rie:
Guthrie was walking cyclopedia of
the Treasury. He knew more details in
each branch than the subordinate speci-
ally charged with them. His intuitlons
were like lightning. Old clerks insist
ed that after hearing the first sentence
he foresaw all a man was going to say
to him, and tell droll stories of his
sleeping through long conversations
and then waking pand answering each
point exactly As if he heard 1t. They
aver that he would look over hundred
letters awaiting his signature, and throw
aside each one containing mistake OF
phrase, or figure, just as the cashier goes
through pile OF bank notes and filings
eut counterfeits.
The moldy archives contain two bits OF
paper, which illustrate not only Guth-
rie's character, but the contrasts be-
tween two Presidents. While Jackson
was in the White House he requested
that the account of one of his special
friends might be paid. The fourth An
ditor refused to pass it, insisting that as
a sworn accounting officer he could not
overlook its irregularity and illegality.
When that answer was reported te him,
Old Hickory instantly sent back the
original document, with this endorse
ment OF, the back: "Let the Presideni s
fat be obeyed. Andrew Jackson" Inc
account was paid forthwith.
During pieree's administration Con-
gress passed o law increasing ~ per
cent. the salaries OF, Government en-
ployes. Nicholson, the Public Printer,
presented his account, with his addition
al per centage. Guthrie rejected 1t on
the ground that Ihe was q contractor,
not an employe. Nicholson went for
help to his friend the President. He in
dorsed the paper: This account seems
TO me correct, and, in my Judgment, 1t
ought to be paid-Franklin Pierce" "
Then it was handed back to the secreta-
~. Guthrie, in a rage, replied: Tell
the President it is not correct, and I'll
be id ifI pay it, Nicholson, fancy
ing he foresaw the Cabinet officer be-
headed, reported this rash response to
the executive. But that amiable chief
only answered: did Guthrie say that ]

The Loyalty Of Ohm A. Logan.

AS John A. Logan has lately deliver
ed himself of violent invective against
the South, in which he took occasion to
say that had he been the captOr of JEFF
ferson Davis, he would have hung him
on the spot, it is we'll to impure who is
Logan, and what clamis can he rightly
set up to "loyaltyi" 1t is well known
that in lcGl Logan was disloyal, the
most ultra secessionist in southern
Illinois. He made no secret of his
denunciations of the war and its
objects. In May of that year he was at
tending court at McLeansboro in Ham
ilton county. Bills were posted around
town announcing that there wonld be
Union meeting" at the Courthouse,
and that the meeting would be address
ed by Hon. S. S. Marshall, then judge
of this judicial circuit. In anticipation
of the meeting, sCme of the boys raised
the stars and stripes over the Court
house. Shortly after this, Logan come
out of one of the hotels in company
with the late Chester Carpenter, and
seeing the flag waving over the Court
house, asked, with an oath, what 1t
meant Upon being informed, he COM
menced in the most vehement manner
to denounce the war and Judge Mar
shall, adding that "Le would not speak
under the Cd d-n flag" and at the
same time pulled out his knife and
started in the direction of the flag, with
the evident intention of cutting II dOrR.
He was restrained by the counsels of
Mr. Carpenter, ClOyd, Crouch and 9th
ers. Nor this is fact, and We make
the charge publicly. We can furnish
the evidence of better men than Logan
to substantiate what we charge, Ac-
cording to his own idea of the penalty
which should attach to treason, he
ought himself to be chung without
Judge or jury."-Mount TerRoH (IH.)

Du Chaillu the celebrated traveller in
a lecture on Africa gives the follow
ing description of the black Bashikonay
ant: ..--.f- .,.
These black Bashikonay may be we'll
called the lords of the forest. 1t is the
most voracious creature / ever met. 1t
is the dread of all living animals, from
the leopard to the smallest insect. 1t
is their habit to march through the for
ests in a long, regular line about two
inches broad and often several miles in
length; all along this line are larger
ants, who acts as Officers-stand outside
the ranks and keep this singular army
in order. If they come to place where
there are no trees to shelter them from
the sun, whose heat they cannot bear,
they Immediately build an underground
tunnel through which the army pass in
columns TO the forest beyond.
When they grow hungry, as by
snddeu command, the long file spreads
itself through the forest, advancing for
ward, attacking and devouring all liv
ing things with a fury quite irresisti-
BILE. The elephant and gorilla fly before
them the black men run away; every
animal that lives in their line of march
is chased. In an incredibly short space
of time those that are caught are over
whelmed, killed, and eaten, and only
the bare skeleton remains. They seem
to travel day and night. NJ ny a time
have / been awakened ont of my sleep
and obliged TO rush into the water to
save myself from them. When they
enter a house they clear it of
very living thing. CockrOaches are
instantly eaten; rats and mice
spring around the room in vain. They
will not touch vegetable matter; thus
they are useful, clearing the country of
many insects. When on their march
the insect world flies before them, and /
have often bad the approach of a
Bashikonay army heralded to ME by this
means.
Wherever they 60 they make clean
sweep, even ascending TO the top of the
trees in pursuit of their prey. Their
manner of attack is an impetous leap.
Instantly the strong pincers are fasten-
ed and they only let 60 when the piece
gives way. At such time this little in
sect seems animated by akind of fury
which causes it to disregard entirely its
own safety. The negroes relate that
criminals, by which they generally
mean wizards, have sometimes been ex
posed to the Bashikonay ants, and tied
to tree so they might not escape, and
then devoured TO the bones. They are
large than any ants we see in America.
The number of one of their armies is so
great that one does not like to enter in
to calculations, but l have seen con-
tinuous line passing at good speed a
particular place for twelve hours. So
you may imagine how many millions
there must have been.

ACCIDENT TO A LION TAMER.-Batty,
the lion tanner, had n narrow escape two
evenings back at the theatre of the
Porte St. Martin, were he appears with
his animals in the representation of the
''Biche au Bois.r One of the lionesses
had produced four young ones during
the day, and the lions in the same cage
devoured three of them; the mother hid
the fourth behind her. The animal was
dull and melancholy all day, but it
went through its performances as usual
in the evening. As Batty was moving
from the stage he perceived the young
lion, and fearing that it might meet the
fate of the others he stopped to take it
away. At that moment the lioness
sprang on him, bit him severely in the
right thigh and with blow of her paw
tore piece Of flesh from his back; but
with these injuries he succeeded in es-
Gaping from the cage. The incident
caused immense emotion among the au-
dience; many women tainted, and q
great number OF those present LEFT the
theatre, the curtain having dropped.
