Monkeying With an ancestor.

Professor Reuger wrapped a
live wasp and a lump of sugar in a
piece of paper and handed the de.
lusive package to an intelligent
monkey to see If our much dis
owned grandfather could be fool
ed. Our nimble ancestor opened
the document and caught on to
the bitter sweet with alacrity, and
Immediately uttered a shrill ejacu-
lation, jumped on the table, upset
pint of ink all over $50 worth of
manuscript and drawings, hurled
an expensive microscope through
a third-story window, aud contin-
ued to smash things until he seeu-
red the professors thumb, which
he chewed with intense and grow
ing enthusiasm until the learned
man killed his ancestor with a
club. He then wrote with his left
hand that a monkey can be fooled
on the first ballot, but it does very
little good to fool him.

Zachary TayIOr'S Nomination.


about forty years see a great
change in the method of notifying
Presidential candidates of their
nomination. After Gen. Zachary
Taylor was named by the Wings
in lS4S. the chairman of the con.
ventiOn, Gov. MOrehead, wrote
him letter on June 10, officially
announcing his nomination. The
subsequent proceedings were very
ludierous and annoying, as will be
seen by the following account:
The distraction into which the
Wing party was thrown by Gen.
Taylor's nomination was not made
less in the ensuing thirty-fve days
by the silence of Gen. Taylor.
Governor Morehead, in reply to
inquiries by leading Whigs-nota-
bly, Mr.. Weed-said he had posi-.
lively written the General aud he
knew of no reason why the reply
was not forthcoming. Gen. Tay-
lor was such a.crotchety old fel.
low, and Wing leaders in general
knew SO little of him personally,
that it was not thought best to stir
him up on the subject. Letters
from the old soldier were appear.
ing in different quarters, some of
them not altogether satisfactory
to Wing leaders; but not a word
came from him about the nomina.
tion. 1t began to look like an in.
dignity. Mr.. Weed, to whom more
than any other man Gen. Taylor
owed his nomination, was desper.
ate under the suspense. Meetings
were proposed, and one was actu.
ally called in Albany, looking to
the reputation of the nomination.
When it met, however, other
counsels prevailed, though the
suspense continued. Ou July %
the postmaster at Baton Rouge,
where Gen. Taylor lived, address
ed the Postmaster. General d let.
ter, saying that with the report of
the current quarter from that of.
flee two bundles of letters were
forwarded for dead letter Office,
they having been declined on ac-
count of the non-payment of pos.
tage by the senders. 1t was in
the 10 cent non.prepayment time.
OF the forty.eight letters thus for.
wardcd to the dead letter Office,
the postmaster said a majority
were addressed to Gen. Taylor,
who had declined to pay the post.
age on them and take them out of
the office because his mail ex.
pepses had become burdensomc.
The General had since become
aware that some of the letters
were of importance, and asked for
their return. In due course the
letters were sent back to Baton
Rouge. Among them was Gov
ernor Morehead's letter notifying
Gen. Taylor of the action of the
Philadelphia convention. General
Taylors response was dated July
10, a month and five days after the
letter of notification was written.
1t had lain in the Baton Rouge
post Office four weeks after Gen.
Taylor had refused to pay the 10
cents postage. Gen. Taylor's ac.
ceptance was couched in respect
FIJI terms, in letter not exceeding
2J0 words. He expressed his
thanks for the nomination, said he
did not seek 1t, and that if he were
elected president, for which posi-
ton he did not think he possessed
the requisite qualifications. he
would do his best. lie discussed
nothing, laid down no principles
and gave no indications as to what
course he would pursue.-Ex.
