aNINTELLIGENT DRAKE.

The following is related by an eminent
naturalist; "a young lady was sitting in
a room adjoining poultry yard, where
chickens, ducks ane geese were dispOrting
themselves. A drake came in, approached
the lady, seized the bottom of her dress
with his beak and pulled it vigorously.
Feeling startled, she repulsed him with
her hand. The bird still persisted. Some
what astonished, she paid some attention
to this unaccountable pantomime, and dis
covered that the drake wished to drag her
out of doors. She got up and he waddled
out quietly before her. More and more
surprised, she followed him, and he con-
Quoted her to the side of pond where
she perceived duck with its head caught
in the opening of a sluice. She FASTENED
to release the poor creature, and restO red
it to the drake, who, by loud quackings
and beating of his wings, testified his joy
at the deliverance of his companion"

AGOATIN TROUBLE.

Our friends of the Knoxville Division
Sons of Temperance, like all other secret
societies, have their goat, an animal alb
solutely necessary in all initiation cere-
monies; for what kind of member
would man make who had never ridden
the goat But the Knoxville Templars
have of late become offended at their
goat. His odOr could not be fifteenthly
amended out of him, no more than the
odor can be fifteenthly amended out of
some citizens of this municipality; and so
it was determined that the fragrant old
goat should die.
Last night several members of the Di-
vision, upon reaching their Hall, en-
countered their "sweet William" in the
ante-room, and he presented formidable
front TO them, presaging war. They
seized him by the horns, but he fought
nobly as other savOry smells have fought,
but finally he had to succumb, and the
victorious Templars carried him TO the
window and 'lct him drop" But the
fall didn't hurt him; and in triumph he
gathered himself up, walked deliberately
to the middle of the street, bleated def
ance at the Templars, and then shaking
the dust of Temperance from his name,
walked majestically away to seek situa-
ton in some other and more humane Sc
cret society. Press and

ANANECDOrE RECALLED.

The New Orleans Picdy1me, referring
to the absurd story that Gov. Geary asked
to be excused from dancing because ''his
legs were full of bullet holes" says:
Somehow this event recalls to memory
an occurrence which transpired many
years ago, at a levee at the White House,
the parties to which were Gen. Winfield
Scott, who was not averse to fighting his
battles DER again, and TO frequent allu-
sions to his wounded arm, and Henry
Clay, who did not particularly admire the
hero of Lundy's Lane. The East Room
was very crowded, and Scott stood at his
full height, in his gorgeous uniform, sur
rounded by several ladies of distinction,
when Mr.. Clay, who was eseorting a lady
in her effort to get to another part of the
crowd, slightly touched the wounded arm.
Gen. Scott, putting on the semblance of a
vince, and raising the hand of the sound
arm to the spot of the wound on the other,
exclaimed; 'Ah, Mr.. Clay, you forget
Lundy's Lane" The latter turned his
head half round, and with somewhat of a
sneer, replied: swell, General, if | do,
you certainly never will"

HOUSE.
Expenditures.

MIR. Bearman, from the Committee on
Appropriations, addressed the House in
denial of the statements by Mr.. Beck last
Friday in regard TO the expenditures of
the Government.
Mr.. Beck repeated the assertion made
Friday, and again enumerated the figures
which warranted him in puttlng the cx-
penditures for the current fiscal year near
$500, OOO,O 900.
After some further discussion by Mr..
Garfield and Mr,rWashburn, of Wiscon-
sin, the matter'was passed over and the
deficiency bill taken up and passed.
Mr.. Logan, from the Committee on Mil
itary Affairs ON the cadetship i2vestigh-
ton, made a report in the case of Mr..
Butler, of Tennessee, stating that the
committee had arrived at the following
conclusions l. That, on Feb. q, 1869,
Butler had recommended the appointment
of Aug. G. Tyler, son of Gen. Tyler, to
West Point. .. That Aug. c. Tyler was
not resident of the First Congressional
District of Tennessee. 3. That after the
amendment was made an agent or attor-
ney % Gen. Tyler has given Butler 5000,
and Butler received il With the avowed in
t9ntion of using it for political purposes in
Tennessee The committee express the
opinion that the conduct of Butler IN ap-
pointing nonresident Of bis district, and
subsequently accepting money Of Gen.
Tyler, deserves the condemnation OF the
House.

The Albany papers chronicle the fol-
lowing shrewd practices on the part of
the lady managers of the fair in that
city: One morning-three days before
the fair closed-one of the city papers
contained a personal which read thus
'Dear George: My heart is breaking.
Don't desert me. Come this evening to
the fair on st. - street. You will ind
me at the - table. LIZZIE" The adj
vertisement was, of course, read by those
who are wont to look over the ''Person-
als,n and the rendezvous in view was ex-
tensively spoken of by the patrons OF the
fair. In the evening people clustered
around the - table to witness the meet
eng between George and Lizzie, and 10
ascertain who they were. While waiting
the coming of George, for whose sake
Lizzie's heart was breaking, the eager
crowd made liberal purchases at the table,
and in comparativelyNshort time the
three misses had disposed of nearly their
whole stock in trade. Ii is needless to
say that Lizzie and George never met at
the appointed place.

To the Editors OF the Union ana American
PULASKI, Tenn, March Is, 1870
The Columbia Herald, in recent issue,
very judiciously names the Hon. A. o.
p. Nicholson, of the county of Manry,
for place on the Supreme Bench for the
Middle District, in the event of the adop-
ton of the new Constitution at the pend
ing election. The suggestion of Mr..
Nicholson's name in connection with an
honor so highly merited and distinguished,
elicits q. hearty and almost unanimous ac-
claim in the hearts of the good people of
old Giles.
Educated in the venerable and classic
shades of Chapel Hill, laudable ambi-
ton carried him west of the Allegheny
Mountains, into the wilds of Middle Ten
nessee, in quest of fortune and distinc-
ton. Here his manhood and mind have
maturcd, the latter adorning the bar and
jurisprudence OF the State, as well as the
hustiDgs and legislative halls of the
country for period of more than thirty
years. Whilst his candidacy would GER
tainly result in his triumphant election to
the position indicated, it would be highly
gratifying to the people of the whole
State, and would add much to the dignity
of court as it existed in the purer days
of our Commonwealth.

THE PREsIDENT,s GUESTS.

DR.. Young, colored, Eldad Cicero
Camp, Horace Maynard and VIM. b.
Stokes, all white, together with a num-
Der of other persons, some of
whom were colorcd and some white,
called on President Grant the other day,
and gave him a correct, succinct, and
altogether trustworthy-in a horn-ac-
count of the condition of Tennessee, and
the fearful and diabolieal manner in
which the late Rebel soldiers are conduct
ing themselves towards the innocent,
peaceful, law-abiding and truth-telling
'1oyal" Radicals of Tennessee.
Dr. J. 3. Young, it viii aforementioned,
is the same individual whom Alfred An
dersOn, a colored Methodist preacher, &C
cused III the Wing, of being guilty of all
the sins IN the decalogue, especially the
seventh, and after going in rotation
through the list, ending off with the same
positive command, Chou shalt not com
nit adultery" 1t is worthy of notice
that this is the man who desired President
Grant to send military force into tiis
State to govern Tennessee with the whip
and the spur, of such men as DR., Young,
colored, and Eldad Cicero Camp, white.

Gen. LOsan's speech ON she Army
BiII-Why il is not Printed
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The fact that
Gen. Logan does not give his speech on
the army bill to the printer for publication
excites considerable suspicion here, and
has very bad effect on the public senti-
ment It is said TO have contained so
many grave errors that he means TO have
it thoroughly revised and corrected before
giving it to the people. The more glari ng
to its dangerous features appear, according
60 leading army officers. II is said that it
will save to the people only few thousand
dollars, after all, while the injustice it will
do to many of the bravest and most patri-
otic officers cannot be estimated by dol
lars and cents. It is thought that the bill
strikes at and aims to degrade such officers
as Sherman, Sheridan, Thomas, Hancock,
Meade, Parke, HUMPHREYS, and Barnes,
the surgeon general, and Skines, of the
commissary department and director of
ordinance, and effectually destroy what
glory they gained for military power for
the country during the war, as the Rebels
would have done had they been victorious.
