| GENERAL GARFIELD A. A BOY.
While driving team on the canal one
day, General Garfield, then but four years
of age, was approached by one Of the
mules, who wanted him to let up . little,
a. the weather was hot. The General
took the matter into consideration, and
finally agreed to be more gentle if the
mule would assign to him his ratisns that
day. The mule did so, and the boy sold
them for books, with which he stored his
mind and paved his way to the Presiden-
cy. There is no doubt that he accepted
the bribe from the mule but he took it
as citizen, aud faithfully kept his pledge
not to whack the mule any more than was
necessary to prevent any suspicion on the
part Of the captain.
| Is HE THE GENERAL HANCOCK
1t is now pretty definitely settled that
Winfield Scott Hancock killed Abraham
Lincoln. Hancock and John Wilkes
Booth were intimate friends, and the for
mer frequently played parts in which
the latter was skilled. The night that
Lincoln was shot, Booth WAS in Hancock's
quarters, and Hancock was at Ford's
Opera House. THE close resemblance
between the men naturally misled the
audience, who mist"ok Hancock for
Booth, and in the chace that followed
Hancock was killed, and subsequently
buried. Booth, being clever actor,
assumed Hancock's place, and has been
taken for him ever since. He is kown
for his rebel svmpathies, and yet the
Democratic party propose to elect him
President.
GENERAL GARFIELD AS AN EDUCATOR.
Nothing could he more touching than
the story told Of Garfield and the horse
shoe. One day he picked up shoe in
the road, and in lecture to some young
men. that night, described the making
and use of the shoe in all their details,
deducting some picturesquely moral les
son, dra wing tears from his auditory
On ano' her occasion, he saw an idle OK
cart standing in field. Borrowing some
harness, he htched himself up and drew
it to a neighhorhood town, where Sun
day School Convention was in session.
When called upon to speak, he took the
cart ON the stage, and, alter minutely de-
failing ITS construction, and showing that
each part had Its place in the world,
However small, he drew the brilliant con-
clusion that it made no difference if all
the cattle ON earth were Gead, the ox-cart
would be of great benefit to humanity SO
long as man could be found who was
ass enough to drag it around after him.
