House their timil but anxious little
hearts failed them, One wanted the 9th
er to approach His Excellency first, and
Uice Uersa. and some time was spent IL in
debating the questing of preeedence.-
AT last, thesbolder and dIfprettief of the
two agreed iteI see htheh President first,
and was, nshered into the august pres
ence. Singularly enough, her Interview
with the President ended BY his giving
her an earnest recommendation for an
appointment, w hich she received qfrom
the Superintendent of rthe, Printing iDi-
vision on the followingIday,, r. The other
young lady, on hearing her Companions
Success, fun Of hope, Saw the President,
who, smiling atohef assurances in coming
to him for Recommendation said it was
reallyrimpossible. She was very de
serving, no doubt, and he hoped she
would succeed, but, Of course she could
not expect him to recommend parties
whom he knew nothing abont, &c The
key to the discrimination exercised blythe
President in the case of the. two ladies,
is found in an impudent remark ofthe no.
torious S. III. Clark, formerly Superin-
tendent of the Printing Division of the
Treasury Department who, after read
|. ing the recommendation Of the Presi-
dent, said to the fair bearer: "Do you
know, Miss, why the President recon-
mends you ?'hi no g sH1gfaaH
The young lady modestly replied that
she did not. g I'll tell you why" said
the brazen clerk, " because you are ,pret-
tyr" The young lady's cheeks flushed,
but she could not afford to be saucy and
so swallowed the impertinence, and the
next day found her pretty digits busy in
counting Uncle Sans greenbacks. That
young lady may be classed with the

Several rtelegraphic correspondents, a
few days after the arrival of General
Grant from the West, announced that
the President and General Hancock had
called on him at army headquarters,
which was entirely erroneous and was
corrected at the instance of the President
elect himself. 1t is easier to discover
why the statement was, incorrect so far
as regards the President than in case of
General Hancock, whose omission to ex-
tend the courtesy referred to is common
ly attributed to political differences.
Such is not the case, however, for the
mutual dislike of the two generals
has its foundation in a deeper cause
than is generally imagined-an old
war wound inflicted by Gen. Grant
and one which will probably never be
healed during. the life time of either
man. Hancock is known as a gallant,
impetuous and chivalric soldier, and it
was while on the march from the VIII
derness to Petersburg that Gen. Grant
administered delicate rebuke to the
former, for his over zealeusness, which
the proud nature of General Hancock
could not brook and which he has never
forgiven. This is the true cause of the
ill-feeling existing between two brave
soldiers, who can never be reconciled,
for the reason that one is too proud to
forget and the other too firmly grounded
in his convictions of right and wrong to
apologize. srsa .la.i-ys r.r ragr
