A StOry of General Scott.

A Washington correspondent tells the
following story of General Winfield
Scott: While he was still at the head OF
the army, with his Office on Seventeenth
street, just opposite the Vvrrr deP"rtrlnert rt
he was coming out one day to enter Lis
carriage, cane in hand. A volunteer Or
derly, who knew nothing of SCOTS views
of military propriety, approached him
with a letter from war department
bureau, which he had been directed to
deliver to General Scott at once. The
orderly, recking nothing of adjutants
general or chiefs of staff, interpreted
his order literally, and hastily giving a
careless salute, began:
"Oh, general, here's a paper L want
YOU to look at before you--
For moment the proud commander
n-chief seemed petriied. Then raising
his cane, he said in loud voice:
'Clear out, sir; clear out of the way.
The startled orderly sprang to one side
and the general got into his carriage anc
was driven away. The soldier then de
ivered his letter to some one in the Office
and walked slowly out. General Scott''
carriage had not gone thirty rods before
it stopped and turned about. The
driver, raising his voice, summoned thu
offending orderly to the door. Trembling
in every limb, cap in hand, he ap
preached. General Scott asked hi
name and regiment. He gave them.
"Well, SIR" said the general, >"repor
to your colonel that you were guilty o
gross disrespect TO General Scott as al
officer, and that General Scott was guilt.
of gross disrespect to you as a man
General Scott begs your pardon. Go t

large plain brass buttons and plug hats.
One of the boys remarked: "They think
they are some, don't they? Let's have
some fun with them" All agreed, and
as they came up we kept the road. So
did they. The team came to halt and
voice from the cab said: Whats
