broken single gavel says the New York Tribune.
As Mr.. Wheeler seldom presided over the Senate.

great amount OF precaution. Ii would be more
to the point to know how many fishing rods he
broke within the last four years
GENERAL GIANTS kindness Of heart is matter
of comment for the Albany Express. II relates
that at the reception there, the other day an old
man, poorly clad, passed the General timidly by
as though he thought the great man would not
condescend TO notice him. Quick as thought the
General reached out after him. seized him by the
collar. brought him gently back seized his hand
warmly and released him.
GENERAL GRANT was given a reception by Mr..
Drexcl, in Philadelphia, the other day, and
among those who passed in to shake his hand
was veteran Captain who fought under him in
the carly days of the war. As the soldier APP
preached, the General called him by name, and
said 81 remember, you lost your arm down in
Mississippi 7 am very glad to meet an old COM
radc." AS the arm was lost nearly twenty years
ago, and the two had not met since General
Grants recognition, after the host of people he
has met since, seemed almost mira ,ulous.
Or the late Father Edward Purcell, a writer in
the Commercial, of Cincinnati. says: 1T is with
in the positive knowledge of the writer that
the fish i'm the lake of the Brown County Con-
vent came to the edge OF tho pond on
his approach that the swans. wild TO all
| el G. came TO the mimic beach
and sang to him. In the bitter days Of tbs
winter. now half gor e by the birds of the field
came to the windows Of his convent retirement
and fed from his bounty upon the sills- II only
half satisfied they knocked at the panes until the
| repast was replenshed." curious custom OF
Father Purcell was that of staying closely at
home until sunset. when he would take a short
walk unaccompanied, generally goirs over the
same route.
