G. A. Townsend, writes to the

Miss Olive R, the daughter OF
an officer of the Tr easury, a large
and handsome lady of dark hair and
stately carriage, has been amused
and fiattered by the gossip current
that Mr.. Seward is in love with her
The lady is under thirty, the Secre-
tary sixty seven, having been born
in the year l (1SO1). The whole
story rests upon the fact that Mr.
Seward sent favorite physician to
her mother, recently deceased, and
new comforts the lady by giving her
airings in his carriage. Among the
diplomatists of the Old World these
marriages of power on the one side
and beauty on the other are quite
common. Count Bodisco, white as
Russian snow, married a tripping
school girl in Georgetown. MI

When General Sherman was in

every part of that institution and ma
king himself familiar with every
thing that was going on. He wore

nized by the minor officials or the
soldiers. One day while walking
through the grounds he met with 8

ing mule.
"Stop pounding that mule!" said
the General.
"Git eoutp' said the soldier, in
blissful ignorance of the person to
whom he was speaking.
Il tell you to STOP" reiterated the
General.
"You mind your business and I'll
mind mine," replied the soldier con-
tinuing his flank movement upon the
mule.

General S. "Do you know who !
