ANEoDoTn coNorHNrNe GENERAL


In his lecture before the Georgia
Historical Society, Hon. Ben. Hill
related the following incident;
There were many peculiarities in
the habits and character Of Lee,
which are little known and which
may be studied with profit. He studi-
ously avoided giving opinions upon
subjects which it had not been his
calling or training to investigate; and
sometimes / thought he carried this
great virtue too far. Neither the
Pre- sident nor Congress nor friends
could get his views upon any public
question not strictly military, and no
man had az much quiet, unobstrusive
contempt for which he called "miG-
tary statesmen and political gener-
ais" Meeting him once on the streets
of Richmond, as l was going out and
he going in the executive office, I
said to him, General, I wish you
would give us your opinion as to the
propriety Of changing the seat of
government and going further
South.
pThat is political question, Mr..
Hill and you politicians must deter
mine it. 1 shall endesvor to take
care of the army and you must take
the laws and control the government. "
"Ah. General, said |, "but YOU
will have to change that rule, and
form and express political opinions;
for, if we establish our Independence,
the people will make you Mr.. Davis
successor.
"Neyer, SIR he replied with a firm
dignity that belonged only to Lee.
"That 1 will never permit, What
ever talents l may possess (and they
are but hmited) are military talents.
My education and training are mill
tary. think the military and civil
talents are distinct, if not different,
and full duty in either sphere is
about as much as one man can quail
fy himself to perform. / shall not do
the people the injustice to accept high
civil Office with whose questions it has
not been my business to become
familiar" r,,r7,
'Well, but General" / insisted,
"history does not sustain your view.
Caesar and friedrich Of Prussia and
Bonaparte were all great statesmen
as we'll as great generals" u
"And all great tyrants," he prompt
ly responded. ~ speak Of the prop
or rule in republics, whore I think,
weshould have neither military states
men nor political generals. Woe
"But Washington was both, and
yet not a tyrant," repeated.
And with q beautiful smile he said;
Washington was an exception to
all, and there were none like him"
could find no WORD to answer
further, but instantly / said in
thought: "Surely Washington is
no longer the only exception, for one
like him if not even greater, is here.

t~DEMOCRATIC PYRAMID


In these days Of political revo1u-
ton, the people can hardly keep
track Of the victories that have
been won by the Democrats during
ths last year. In the list Of States
printed below, will be found only
those that have unmistallably thrown
off Che Radical yoke. Louisiana
might with propriety be added, for
she gave clear majority Of ten or
twelve thousand at the last general
election; but inasmuch as the Radia
calls have forcibly kept control of that
State, we omit it from the lsta In
Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas, we
have as good claim as have our OPP
ponents, having elected portions Of
The State officers in each; but these
also we leave out of the count now,
but will add them to the list after the
next electonl The Democrats have
a clear title to seventeen States, most
of which have been wrested from the
Republicans during the year 1873. Il
This islively work fora party that has
been declared dead, and the Radicals
will never be able to regain the
ground they have lost. On the
whole, the Democrats are satisfied
with their years work, and will 60
on until it is completed. How do
our Radical friends like the looks Of
the following formidable list Of Dem
cratic States? e9'N r ''a'io i'i'!4

busy biting and stinging They
were so ferocious that woman on

SAYS the Detriot Free Press
"There is an old goat owned on
Lewis street which has received a
great deal of training from the boys.
Last Fourth of July they discovered
that if they stuck fire cracker. in
tile end of cane and held it at
William he would lower his head and
go for them, and they have practiced
the trick so much that the goal will
tackle any human being who points q
stick at him. Yesterday noon he was
loafng on the corner of third and
Lewis streets, when a corpulent citi-
zen pointed his cane just to the left
Of the goat and said: That's the
worst piece Of sidewalk in this town.
The goat had been eyeing the cane,
and the moment it came up he low
cred his head, made six or eight
jumps, and his head struck the cor
pulent citizen on the belt The
man went over into O mass Of old tin,
dilapidated butter kegs and aband-
oned hoop-skirts, and the goat turned
a summersault the other way, while
the citizens threw stones at a boy
seated on a door step, who was
laughing tears as big as chestnuts,
and crying out, 'Ohlit's 'nuf to kill
a feller. ="
