TRAVELLING Docs. The Captain Of Nahant
boat has fine curly dog, which never misses
making a trip with his master if he can help
it. He likes the hustle and like excitement
of getting under way and going on shore
again, as well as old sailors love the sea. He
is quite sociable, and well acquainted with the
regular passengers. They know his peculiar
tiles, and he knows some of theirs If he
does not regularly "beg," he is still sharp
enough to "hang around those who are lib
orally disposed. He generally gets his penny
crfive-oent piece, and then off he bounds to
the refreshment table, and lays it out in cake
it as orderly as boy. He would scorn to eat
from the floor like dog which had never been
taught good manners. He hunts up his mas
ter and puts the cake in his hand and then
decorously eats it, piece by piece, as it is
broken Off for him. Another smart Yankee
dog has taste for visiting. He goes down to
the depot and steps aboard of the train,
without the customary little ceremony at the
ticket office; and when it reaches the right
town, he bounds OF and pays a visit to some
family friend of his master. lie never makes
a mistake about the town or the train, and is
such a fine intelligent fellow, he always meets
with a welcome. He usually spends two or
three days on his trips, and no doubt picks up
considerable dog lore in his travels. / do not
know whether the mightier dogs show him
any attention on his return, but he is on good
terms with them Presbyterian.

MISCELLANY
ANANEcporr OF WASHINGTON.

In the midst of the grayest operations, and
burdened with a thousand cares and ankle
ties, Washington never forgot the minutest
details lie was as mindful of little things as
big. At the battle of Monmouth, when the
commander-in-cll chief was riding from the Free
hold meeting house, where he had been direct
ing important movements, he met the main
portion of the Patriot army retreating in
wild confusion before the pursuing British.
With stern indignation and whitening re-
proof, he called the chief officers to a sense Of
their duty, and then, by almost superhuman
efforts in the face of a CALLING fire from the
enemy, he rallied his stampeding forces.
Fearlessly, as though he were conscious of
a charmed life he rode in the very thickest of
the iron storm, laying his plans and giving
his orders. The army of brave true patriots,
which, half an hour before, had seemed on
the verege Of destruction, panic-strcken and
without order, was now drawn up in steady
unflinching array Of battle, prepared to meet
the advancing foe.

having received from the hands of an attend

he turned to the body servant who followed
him close through all dangers, and without
the presence of whose ebon visage picture
of Washington and his Family would not be
complete, and quietly said
Here, Billy, take the saddle from that
dead horse, and look out for it." And then
he dashed away to direct the planting of Os-
walds battery.
"Golly 7" exclaimed old Billy, as he relat-
ed the incident to one of the family on his re-
turn home, "who ebber did see such man

SECRETARY BRIsrow,


In the hall of Representatives to day, in
the open space behind the desks of the
mem bers, there appeared a solid, deter
mined-lOokiog man, who seemed to be
perfectly at home on the floor and chatted
and shook Lands with various Congress
men until the gavei of the Speaker pro-
'eDpOre drove all gossippers to the cloak.
room. If you were unfamiliar with him
the @hispeTs of people along the galleries
pointing the stranger out to their compan-
loHs would have told you at once that it
was Secretary BristOw. To give the
Washington readers of the World an idea
Of his Appearance, it might be enough to
say that something in the Secretary's looks,
notwithstanding his dark complexion, sDg
geSts Mr.. Adams, the wel!-known and
every where respected head of the Worlds
Washington bureau, To less fortunate
people it may be we'll to throw out few
nInes as material for their imagination. 1t
ls common notion that great leaders
should be Of massive proportions, and not
Withstanding the fact that such men as Ma
Poieon and Nelson were almost as small
ana oelcately organized as women, the
Reneral opinion may be assumed to have
some foundation in truth. Men of great
executive ability, great capacity for mental
OF physlcat LABOR, power to influence and
control others, fortitude against every
kind OF opposition and readiness to deal
with all concrete forms of matter and for
get abstractions, are commonly large,
stoutly-built and vigorous, and q strong
physique is often a good substitute for the
hre of genius. To this class Bristoyy seeDa
to belong. He stands about ave feet IL
inches in height, and weighs over two hun.
dred and twenty FIVE pounds, without an.
pearing in any way unwieldy. His head
is large and we'll developed, being espe-
cialIy we'll rounded above the ears. The
face is not that of scholar or divine, Il
is rather that of the manager of a great
railroad or the proprietor of great manu-
factRFing business, and at the present crisis
Of affairs it is a most oonsOlipg countenanca
to saa-upon the Secretary of the United
States Treasury. The firm sweep of the
jaw gives promise of aggressive perseve-
rance, and there is about the whole man
the sir of one engaged in a severe contest,
with all the means Of winning it within his
control.

a - AS~SUW . o9uu0u huu E0VlU Ilo0 IL one OF
she most curious events in our politics. He
was Kentucky Unionist, who went into
| the army and served through the war with
OUT gaming any especial distinction, COM
ing CUT unnoticed among the multitude of
gailans colonels who returned to civil life.
ne TOOK mp the practice of his profession
and gradually won esteem as a sound law
yer ana was appointed United States
| Dlstrlct Attorney. From that position be
| stepped into the Office of Solicitor g General,
When that place was created in the Depart
ment OF Justice, and when Williams was
proposed for Chief Justice, Bristow was
selected to succeed him in the Attorney
Seneralship. 1t was pretty scheme, but
fell to the ground. In the meantime he
mad returned to bis home in Louisville and
made no secret of the fact that he had lit
tie desire for Official life at Washington
ihere is every reason to believe that he
had no knowledge of the Presidents inten-
ton to appoint him Secretary of the
Treasury, and when he saw his own name
mentioned in the newspapers in connection
with that Office, he wrote to some of his
friends, who were giving currency to re-
ports of bic Advancement telling thedh that
there could be- no truth in such rumors and
asking them to desist, as they were only
making him ridiculous in the eyes of the
public. To this day, Grants motive in
making such a selection is q mystery, and
his choice can only be explained by sup
POSAuB AttOE u moment the OIO uQerrluQ
instinct with which he used to pick ont his
subordinate generals returned to him in
the nomination of civil officer. The new
Secretary learned the complicated details
OF his Office with wonderful readiness, and
performed its trying duties with ease, in a
plain, unpretentious way. His thorough
business habits and instincts soon enabled
him to detect the abuses of his department,
and his aggressive honesty prompted him |
to reform them. There was score of pet |
ty cliq1es in the Treasury Department,
" hich be broke through before destroying |
the whiskey ring. That labor and the fame
which he won in accomplishing it need only
be alluded to here, for the news columns
are full of the story. He stands now the
foremost man of the Administration and
'he favorite candidate of the best elements
IT his party for the Presidency. He has
lot section behind him like Blaine or
dorton, but the sympsthies of all good citi-
ems as distinguished from good partizans
q the Republican ranks favor his am mbition;
NO bis popularity at home is such that, il
nut into the field, he would certainly re-
uce the Democratic majority in that Dem.
cratic stronghold, Kentucky. His sue
essfnl career is due to the happy fortune
Thich placed him in official position and to
he courage and fidelity with which he
erformed it's duties. In a venal age he
as been able to win glory by sterling in
egrity and manly activity. He is not a
reat man, perhaps, but he is bold, sound
nd practical one.
