A BEAR SToRY.-Some weeks ago q
man with hand-organ and bear was
arrested up in Clearfeld county,
Ohio, for not having license. The
arrest was made in front of the Office
of the county paper, and the Sheriff
asked the editor to let him place the
organ and the bear in the sanctum
while he took the man to the magis-
trate's Office. Permission was given.
The bear is there yet. When the
editor returned from dinner he
opened the door, and found that
the bear had broken loose and
smashed the whole interior of the
establishment into microscopic smith
Greens. When the bear saw the
editor it thought IL would go to din
ner also; but the eminent Journal
ist slammed the doar suddenly,
locked it, and groped his way down
stairs six steps at jump. The bear
has had nothing to eat since that
time, and the paper has been sus-
pended, while the editor and the
sheriff and their friends spend tLeir
time standing on ladders bombarding
that animal through the windows,
and firing up through the ceiling and
down the chimney at him. The bear
roams around and roars, and chews
up startling editorials about Horace
Greeley and the campaign in North
Carolina, and eats up the poetry and
smashes the advertisements. 1t will
cost the editor about six thousand
dollars to fix up his place when the
bear dies, and it is whispered around
among his confidential friends thai
he will probably not support thai
Sheriff the next time he runs fol
Office; nor will he encourage the
introduction of the menagerie busi
ness into Clearfield county.

GRANT PERSONALS.

Tie Buffalo Courier has gone to
the trouble of collecting u number of
interesting "reminiscences, in regard
to some individuals just ut present
by no means unknown to fortune or
to fame-(in-fame perhaps). Here
they are:
1t was VIM. Lloyd Garrison, who
declared the constitution n covenant
with hell"
1t was Gen. Grant, who threaten
ed to take his regiment over to the
rebels if slavery was interfered with.
1t was John A. j. Creswell who
urged Maryland to seeded from the
union in 1861.
1t was John A. Logan, who re-
cruited fifty-one men in Illinois for
Beauregard's army.
1t was VIM. Lloyd Garrison, who
thanked God that he had worked
for thirty years to break up the union
as it was"
1t was Judge Settle, President of
the Grant convention, who was kick
ed out of the rebel army for robbing
sick soldiers of hospital stores.
1t was the Presidents father, who
got permit from his son to steal
cotton during the war.
It was Senator Morton who spoke
of "the Dutchmen who are only fit
to eat sour krout and drink lager
beer"
1t was Henry Wilson who took a
solemn oath never to vote for Cath.

1t was Mrs. Gen. Grant who re-

It was Zack Chandler who stated

ONLY ONE LEFT.
The Compact Of TEN Friends.

Half score of years ago Mrs.
Bidgelow kept boarding house at
% Great Jones street. Among her
boarders were ten gentlemen who
had lived together for many years. So
The breaking out of the war changed
the current of life Of many of the
party, and number OF them ex-
pressed their determination to join
the Union ranks. Many were the
regrets at the dissolution OF their So
ciety, and it was decided that they
should have farewell dinner ON the
evening OF Sept. 10. 1862. Arrange
ments were accordingly made, and at
eight o'clock on the evening named
the ten gentlemen took their accus-
toned seats at the table. Each and
everyone was then full OF life and
hope, and the future prospects Of
each became tho subject Of animated
conversation. Before they separated
each man made solemn VOW that if
he was living ten years hence he
would meet the rest of his compan-
ions at s o'clock, in the same place
just as they had done that night
Since then the house has come under
the proprietorship of Mr.. j. L.
Smith. A few days ago Mr.. Smith
was requested by Dir. Edward K.
Winsbip, broker, of "a Broad street,
to prepare dinner for ten gentle
men on the evening of the Septem-
Der 10, 1872.
At precisely 8 o'clock on Tuesday
evening Mr.. Winship, the sole sur
vivor OF the party. entered the din
ing room and the doors were closed
behind him. No one was present
save Geo. Bentley and one or two
walters. The room and tables were
arranged just as they we're ten years
ago, and Mr.. Winship, with bead
bowed and with saddened express
ion, took the same seat that he had
occupied years ago. All around were
empty chairs, empty plates and un-
filled glasses.
The meal was begun, and the soli-
tary banqueter was served with the
usual CouI5csb 94E. iuSulp, OCCa-
sionally passing word with the wal
ter.

said he. Zone went down in the
Monitor in Mobile Bay, another was
drowned in the same waters. Two
were shot at Mobile. One lost both
legs by ball, the other was pierced
through the heart. Another died in
Philadelphia, and the eighth died in
New York"
He said that while in February
last, as he was walking up Broad
way one evening, he felt tap on the
shoulder, and a voice asked him
whether he knew Mr.. 81 do, +"
replied Mr.. Winship. "He died at
four o'clock to-day" said the voice.
Though Mr.. Winship turned quickly
upon feeling the tap and hearing the
voice, he was unable to ascertain who
it was that addressed him. He af-
terward learned that one of the par
ty of ten had died on that day and
at the hour indicated. Mr.. Winship
said that the oldest of the party next
to himself was only 20.

From Boston Cor. New York Tribune.l
GENERAL HENRY WILSON.
Ills Military Record.

The Tribune of last week asks for
information concerning the "felds"
on which Gen. Henry Wilson was
"battle-scarred." In 1862, Gen.
Wilson raised the 22nd Regiment in
Massachusetts, was commissioned as
it's Colonel, and marched the regi-
ment, on special railroad train, to
New York. DISCRIMINATING there, a
"fery charger" was provided for him,
and in all

he led his regiment through New
York. In the wild charges of the
enemy in that city, his horse took
fright and the Colonel was thrown,
tearing his trousers from top to bot
tom.
The Colonel at once resigned, re-
turned to Natick, and

fence, the

childhood perfectly naked.

CAN TRAVEL LIKE PrzEN.

The electric telegraph still remains
a mystery to the million, and the lu-
dicrous conceptions of the modus
operandi, which some of the most
ignorant people have formed, are as
mirth-provoking as anything out of
Rabelais or Smollett.
Not long since, an old lady enter

The old lady went away and re-

she entered the door the dumb wal

plaudits which respond to Mr.. Gree

letter, his Baltimore letter, his letter

NOBLE WORDS.

In his speech at Dayton, Ohio, last
week, Horace Greeley SAID:
II take up the Dayton Journal of
this morning and find myself there
credited with saying, at Vicksburg
last year that l hoped the time would
come when the soldiers that fought
with Lee and Johnston will occupy as
proud position in the hearts Of the
American people as the soldiers who
fought with Grant and Sherman. No
such words as these ever escaped my
lips. No such words as these ever
entered my heart. tCheers) Whas
/ did say, speaking of that wasted,
heart-broken people, is this: that I
trusted the day would come when the
soldierly qualities and military genius
of Lee and Stonewall Jackson Will be
regarded as part of the heritage of
the American people (cheers). That
they would be spoken of as American
soldiers, who, though in a cause which
/ think bad cause, illustrated the
military capacity, the genuine energy
of the American people; for after all,
my fellow citizens, they were our mis-
taken countrymen, our misguided
countrymen, ferries of that's SOL our
brave but fatally-erring countrymen.
They are dead, and are now our dead
countrymen. 1 did say that and If
any man grudges that little word of
consolation to that heart-broken peo-
pie, let him vote against me-"
If a uobler sentiment than that con-
tanned in the above extract has been
uttered we have failed to find it in
print.
