The Devil at the Treasury Depart
yucut.

A few days ago, a small party of la
dies and gentlemen visited the Treas
ury Department for the purpose Of
seeing the sights and wonders there,
and "Satan came also. This time he
was distinguished as 4 neatly-dressed
young man. His air ana manner were
dignified modest, and somewhat retir-
ing. lie was noticeable for his thick,
black hair, mustache and imperial, and
piercing black eyes, which seemed to
look into and comprehend all things
around him. With that peculiar, and
graceful style which 3hc Prince Of
Darkness has when in the presence OF
women aud those having authority, he
was Immediately in the good grace of
all with whom he came in contact. lie
stopped a moment before clerk who
was handling stamped bills. BY some
quick and potent influence the stamped
were changed in the "twinkling Of an
eve" into unstamped ones. The be-
widered clerk looked first from one TO
another, and then, as il he would i'm
plore the mercy Of heaven in proof that
he was honest; but while he prayed, 10!
the bills were stamped again and he
was happy. The devil then glided
noiselessly up to a beautiful young lady
Gall the ladies' in the Treasury are beau
tiful,) and as she looked up consciously
innocent that her count would be all
right, he drew large roll of bills from
the folds of her dress. Her cheeks were
blanched with fear and she trembled
like an aspen leaf. Her expression
seemed to say: "Great Heaven, what
have / done! Who will take care Of
mother now?" Her companions looked
on in astonishment, aud the officials
were thunderstruck. The devil "smole
a ghastly smile" and, taking the roll Of
bills, placed them where they belonged,
and the young lady came TO herself,
saying, "Zamiel, is this TO be the record
of the dying year, and is my soul free :"
The devil continued his inspection tour
and in another department he found
pile of bills which bad never been missed
causing the gravest apprehension and
astonishment, and while explaining how
it was to the chief clerk the devil alb
stracted his watch from bis breast-pock
ct. In the long gray boards of the most
honest men the world ever saw, a num-
ber of gold coins were found secreted,
and in pockets Of others packages Of
bills ready for delivery were found. The
situation was becoming embarrassing;
when one cool head, wiser than the rest
suggested that the famous magician,
Herman, was of the party, and SO it
proved.-NniiOnai Republican.

The Largest Farm in the World.

Mr.. George Grant, the enlightened
founder of Victoria colony in Kansas,
who has been spending couple days
in this city, left for Kansas last evening.
The owner of $4,000 acres of land, EN-
bracing the county of Ellis, which is
larger than any dukedom in Europe, he
is entitled to the credit Of apublic bene-
factor, by the Introduction of the best
blooded stock, and showing, by exam
pie, the best manner of rearing, feeding
and improving the foreign and domes-
tic breeds of horses, cattle and sheep in
this country.
He has just wintered 1000 sheep,
with loss of one per cent. He win
tered 537 COWS without feeding them,
except on several cold nights with hay,
with only loss of four calves and one
COW. His success in this respect is due
mainly to good shelter. The secret of
saving food and preserving stock in
shelter During the past year MIR. Grant
expended $4,000 in constructing shell
ter. and he has such faith in its adyan-
tages that he will spend double that
amount the coming season. He has
s25O,O0O invested in stock, and is the
owner of the thoroughbred stallion,
Fiodden, valued at $4,000, the father
of which won the race in 1860 at Derby,
in which halt a million of dollars
changed hands. Mr.. Grant has just re-
turned from the East, and has on the
way to his farm thirty odd brood mares
purchased in Ohio, Virginia and Ken
tucky
Mr.. Grant is disposing of his lard to
actual settlers, and sells only to such as
can afford to purchase mile square or
upwards. Among the large number of
resident colonists and stock-raisers who
have purchased land of him and are now
raising stock in Victoria colony, are
many young men of prominence, both
of this country and England. The Hon.
Walter Maxwell, younger son of Lord
Herries, of Everingham Park York
shire, England, ownes two sections, and
is comfortably settled down to the
healthful life of the ranchero. Then
there are three bachelor sons of Der
byshire clergyman, and the nephew OF
the Earl of Winchelsea. who is now on
his way over from England to take up
his home there. Two nephews of May
or Guthrie, of New York city, and two
young Shields, of Boston, are also
among the number.-H. Louis Rtpub-
Ecan.

Equipment of the Arctic Expedf.
ton.

A correspondent, writing from Eng
land Just before the departure OF the
Artic expedition, gives the following
account of the equipment OF the TWO
ships: The enormous amount OF provl-
sions and stores to be shipped has ne
cessitated the greatest skill in packing,
so that no space might be wasted. Every
hole and corner which could be made
available has been utilized. All the
provisions are on board save that OF
flour, which is to be of two kinds. One
sort is called raw flour. This will be
the first to be used, as it will keep only
for one year; but the rest, being OF bet
ter quality, will be fit for use for three
wears. OF the two sorts of flower nearly
forty thousand pounds weight will be
put on board, the best kind, which takes
up less room than the other, being
slowed away in large iron tanks, and
the other in barrels. The Alert will
carry five tors Of spirits OF WINE for
cooking purposes, ten tons OF bread,
eighty-five tons of beef, pork, bacon,
coffee, sugar, flour, and preserved meats.
All the meat on board, except that
which is salted, will be preserved in
small round tins of two sizes-slx and
four pounds respectively-and will COM
prise beef and mutton, both roast and
boiled; rump steak, bacon, oysters, and
French haddock, supplemented by
pickles of all sorts and preserved fruits
of every kind. The total weight Of pro-
visions on board the Alert will be five
hundred and forty tons. The Discov-
cry will carry little less of everything,
or about four hundred and forty tons in
all. Considerable provision has also
been made for the amusement of the
crews during the leisure hours OF their
long days and nights passed in the Arc
tic regions. Dresses are provided for
the use of the men when getting up
theatrical entertainments, one OF the
chief recreations of all ice-bound voya-
gers. Some OF the men have shown
considerable ability in the histrionlc
line, and it is certain that more than
one OF the sailors is 4 fine amateur sing
er. A piano has been placed on board
the Alert. and an organ on the Discov-
cry. Both ships are also provided with
good libraries by the admiralty, largely
supplemented by presents of books
from all parts of the country. Already
the "crows nests" have been fixed at
the top of the main-mast. This "crow S
nest" is receptacle for the man on the
lookout. In shape it resembles bar
rel, and the sailor enters it through the
bottom, by sort of trap-door, which
is closed when the man has got inside.
lie is thus completely shut in and pro
tected from the weather. lie has hole
through which he takes observations,
also through which he reports to the Of
fcers below.

The Death of Gen. Polk.

Sherman kept pushing his way down
toward Atlanta. 1t was in this cam
paing that the rebel General, Leonidas
Polk, who had been a bishop OF the
Southern Episcopal Church, lost his
life. The story Of his death is one of
the dramatic incidents of'the war, re-
minding US of the death of the famous
French General, who was killed by
shot from a battery which had been
fred by the special order of Napoleon.
On June 14th, General Sherman, Ill
conversation with General Howard. OBJ
served, at the distance of 800 years,
group of Confederate officers, evidently
watching the Federal troops through
glasses. Sherman called General How
ards attention TO the group, and order
ed it to compel it to retire behind Its
cover. Howard answered that his or
ders from Gen. Thomas were TO spare
artillery ammunition, ''that was right ac-
cording to the general policy, says
Sherman. Il explained to him that he
must keep up the morale OF the bold
offensive; that he must use his artillery
to force the enemy to remain on the
defensive, aud ordered him to cause q
battery close by to fire three volleys.
One OF these volleys killed General Polk.
General Johnston afterward explained
to General Sherman the exact man
ner of General Folks death. He had
ridden to Pine Mountain, accompanied
by Generals Hardee ard Polk. He no.
t;ced the preparations at Sherman's
battery to fire and caused the soldiers
to scatter. "They did so, says Johns
ton, "and he likewise hurried behind
the parapet, from which he had an
equally good view Of the position, but
General Polk, who was dignifed and
corpulent, walked slowly, not wish
ing to appear too hurried or cautions in
the presence Of the men, and was struck
across the breast by an unexploded
shell, which killed him instantly" at
has been charged, says Sherman, "that
| fired the shot which killed General
Polk, and that I knew it was directed
against that General The fact is, that
at that distance, we could not even tell
that the group were even officers at all.
/ was on horseback two hundred yards
off before my orders to fire were execu-
ted, and had no idea that orr shot had
taken effect.-From Sherman's Memoirs.

A String Of Pearls.

Characteris the diamond that scratches
every other stone.
All flowers will droop in absence Of
the sun that walked their sweets.
The imagination is Of So delicate a
texture that even words wound it.
A mans own safety is god that
sometimes makes very grim demands.
The mind wears the colors OF the
soul, as the vilet does those of his mas
ter.
Sin is the fruitful parent of distem-
pers; and ill lives occasion good physi-
clans.
Prosperity seems tc be scarcely safe,
unless it is mixed with a little adversely.
There is no vice so simple but as
sumes some mark of virtue on its out
ward parts
lie who surpasses or subdues man
kind, must look down on the fate OF
those below.
Success has a great tendency to cor-
ceal and throw i veil over the evil
deeds of men.
WEAKNESS can snore upon the flint,
when restive Sloth finds the downy
pillow hard.
Truth is the shortest and nearest way
to our end, carrying us thither in a
straight line. ,
Frank Sincerity, though no invited
guest, is free to all, and brings his well
come with him.
Cheerfulness makes the mind clearer,
gives tone to thought, and adds grace
and beauty to the countenance.
The human soul is hospitable, and
will entertain conflicting sentiments
and contradictory opinions with much
impartiality.

A JUsr TRIBUTE TO TIE CLERGY
The New York Tribune comes to the
defence of the clergy against the light
and even disrespectfnl terms in which
we regret to say, they are too frequent
ly alluded to in the newspapers OF the
country. The habit Of perpetrating
witicism or indulging in coarse and in
delicate humor at the expense of the
preachers, is one which is not creditable
to those who practice it, or just to the
class against whom it is aimed. A lit
tie reflection would teach the propriety
of its discontinuance The following
words of the Tribune are timely and
Just, and, we hope, will not be without
effect:
ave have before us considerable
collection of paragraphs cut from the
newspapers, in which clergymen are
spoken of in very cavalier style. We
are free to say that we consider this,
even from secular point Of view, as in
exceedingly bad taste. No doubt the
time has gone by in which the Priestly
office was treated with popular vener-
alton we'll nigh superstitious; nor should
we care to bring that time back again
if we could But we cannot be unmind-
full of the fact that the pulpit is still Of
immense importance to the peace, hap
piness and progress of society. Even
where it does not convert it cultivates;
it imparts thoughtful and comparative
ly elevated tone to the popular mind; it
is always, in speech, at least, and in
doctrine, the champion of good morals;
and whatever may have been the sins
of few, the mass of religious ministers
are, beyond controversy, pure, true,
honest, well-meaning. and well-educa-
rcd, intent upon doing good work,
and actually virtuous, and by reclaiming
the erring. We do not think that men
occupying such position of difficulty
and responsibility should be lightly crit
icised, disrespectfully spoken OF, care
lessly judged, or generally condemned
as a body, because here and there one
of them falters or falls"
