Anecdote OF President Lincoln.

One day during the war clerk from
the Adjutant-GeneraI's Office, whose
name was not Smith (but as this will
serve our purpose as we'll as any other,
we will SO designate HIM, called at the
White House. and having been admit
ted to Mr.. Lincoln's presence, stated to
him that he had been for good while
discharging the duties devolving upon
his clerical position. and he Aattered
himself that the knowledge he had
thereby attained, qualified him for the
performance of the higher functions of an
Assistant Adjutant- General, which Office
he most respectfully but urgently solic-
tied.
The President replied, 81 have no
doubt, Mr.. Smith, that you are all you
represent yourself TO be, although some
people might think that other qualif-
cations besides being good clerk are
requisite to make an Assistant Adju-
tant-General. Do you know whether
there are any vacancies in the Adjutant.
Generals Office at this timer" added he.
"There are none." replied he; "but It
has occurred to me that might be ap-
pointed, and assigned to the staff OF
some general officer commanding a corps,
division or brigade"
Exactly" said Mr.. Lincoln; "but has
any corps, divIsion or brigade eomman-
der applied for you on his staff2"
mot that am aware Of" was the an.
swer.
"Well, sir, do you know Of any gener-
al officer that wants you upon bis stafT2'
asked the President.
81 cannot say that do at this time,
sir" replied he.
"Then," said Mr.. Lincoln. at seems
to me you might just as well ask me to
marry you TO a woman who didn't want
you as to expect me to send you to a

Capture Of Herd Of Elephants.

A correspondent of Land and Water
tells of the capture, in the Mysore dis
trict, India; ofa herd of elephants, num-
bering forty-nine head. An irrigating
canal winds through a dense jungle, at
some points approaching a small river,
at others stretching away from it into
the jungle. In one place bend of the
canal forms, with the river, an inclosure
in the shape of a horseshoe, containing
about fifteen acres of wooded ground.
To this place elephants resort during
the monsoon, crossing the canal at three
or four points where the banks have be-
come trodden down by constant use. In
order to trap the entire herd, two lines
of chains were stretched across the river
at the ends of the horseshoe, and a
trench was dug on the river bank 10 cut
off escape on that side. The elephants
having crossed into the inclosure, the
fords were barricaded with cocoa-nut
trees, the canal deepened at those places,
and two deep trenches cut from the can
al to the river. Fires were kept up at
night on the banks of the canal. Mean
while deep, circular trench was dug,
inclosing about an acre of ground, and
two parallel trenches were also dug,
leading from the horseshoe to this small
inclosure. Drop gates were made to
prevent the animals leaving this keddah
when once they had entered it.
A large force of men were now direct
ed to drive the herd into the keddah.
The first attempt failed, the elephants
stampeding back into the horseshoe af-
ter few of them had entered the in
closure. A second effort was crowned
with success. First came a female with
her calf; then seven other females, and
after n while on came the entire herd
with rush, males, females and calves
of all sizes, like herd Of rather large
pigs, jostling and pushing one another
through the gateway" When the last
was in, down went the gate, and they
were all secured. The catching of the
elephants one by one was the work oI
several days. "The men went in among
them on tame bensts, and put ropes round
their legs and necks. after which the
tame elephants drag them out in spite o.
all resistance, and they are chained one
by one to trees TO be trained at leisure
They do not mind the tame elephant,
mixing with them at all, even with mer
on their backs, but they object strongly
to the men on the ground, who have tC
put on the ropes"

American Soldiers.


Col J. II. Puleston. NJ. p. for Dayen-
port, England, served during our war on
Gen. hartranft's staff, and was also mil
nary agent for Pennsylvania at Wash
lbglon .ana quite eiheIent la organizing
our quota oI troop. lie has recently
made speech ia England in which he
paid splendid tribute TO Ntneri,ar
soldiers. IA is thus reported by an Eng
hsh paper:
Colonel PUleston then passed on t.
speak Of America, observing that this
gallant people, though cui ignting the
arts OF peace, did not TAIL in time OF nee
essity to come forwaru and make good
soldiers; and whatever might be thought
as 90 the political import Of the struggle
between the North and the South, there
could be but one opinion as to the pat
riotic impulses that Actuated both sides,
and the self-sacrifice and dauntless cour-
age they displayed Tor their respective
countries---[ applause. With the merits
of the struggling he had nothing 10 do;
he desired simply to pay a tribute Of
admiration 10 the heroism Of the con-
tending armies and TO the skill Of the
eontending generals. There were many
mistakes, doubtless, made in thai contest
and tho scientific soldier, looking on at
distance, might have smiled contempi1-
Ously at the blunders and failures that
marked its early Ftages; but Europe soon
saw reasons for respecting the courage
and studying the tactics Of both North
and South. The volunteers represented
more moral force, perhaps; than was
embodied IN any army Of Continental
Europe, and the achievements Of the i'm
perfectly trained Americans would re-
main bright and prominent in the mill
tary annals Of this generation. Even
more remarkable than the organization
of the vast hosts that battled for the
Union on one side, and for the Confed-
eracy on the other, were the rapidity
and qnietness with which, on the Occas-
ion Of peace, the survivors went back to
their old ayocations and old homes.
The disbandment Of so large an army,
followed as il was speedily by the Az
sasssnation of the President, not unnat-
urally gave rise TO grave apprehensions,
but not a ripple Of disturbance was seen,
and il IL not surprising that this fact at
tracted the attention Of the world, and
while it furnished an answer to the oft
repeated assertion that the army demor-
allied those who served in its ranks; it
spoke volumes for the stability Of the
great Republic Of the West. LCheers. !
In contrast with those great armies who
fought battles Of such magnitude WAS
the small force now maintained-35,0 900
men-Of which the infantry numbered
$4,000, cavalry 10000, artillery 5000,
and scouts 1000, the rest belonging 20
the control and engineer departments"

Easily Understood.

Every BOBBY knows that it is rude to
take another persons seat as soon as it is
vacated, and that it is an objectionable
offense TO sit in one chair and put his
feet in another. The subtle PHILOSOPHERS
of the rudeness of those actions he prob
ably would take a lifetime to learn.
Even after he had received such indig
mites many times he would be puzzled
to know why they gave him such offense.
Chesterfield himself probably never ana
lyzed the actions, or resolved them into
their elementary significance; the first
meaning, 81 prefer your room to your
company" the second being equivalent
to saying, 81 regard the ease of my feet
and this comfortable position. more than
/ do your tired limbs, or your offended
sense of propriety. l do not care if it is
disagrseable to you to look at the dirty
soles of my boots" Let us analyze
another common rule of good society:
Son entering a house or room, always
speak first to the lady of the house, and
always take leave of her first" Why
should we do so? Because the house
and room are fer the time hers. She
gave the invitation or permission to en-
ter You are for the time her guest, and
under obligations to her. She is enti-
tied to your first and last act of respect
and attention. Having paid her attention
be sure not to monopolize her time and
conversation, because she has other
guests to entertain as well as yourself
Several lady correspondents have asked
if it was proper to invite gentleman
escorting them from an evening party
TO come in Ask yourself, "Why should
ask him to enter?" Has he not been
with you all the evening, and walked
home besides7 Can he not call some
other time, and unless he has been
agreeable, why should you ask him ev-
en- to call again? 1t is as much his duty
to ask permission to call rs yours to in
vite him to do so. What right have you
to disturb your parents or the members
of your family at a late hour with 4
casual acquaintance who has accompani-
ed you home from a party?
