Once More.
Derrick Dodd, in San Franciscan.l

Derrick Dodd, in San Franciscanl
 If all the characteristic stories of Abra. ham Lincoln have not been called in and the polls closed, we should like to put on record just one more incident that came to the personal notice of the writer.
 It was habit of the great liberator, when more than usually perplexed by the cares and burdens of the great con- 6ict, to steal away for one of those self communing walks which were doubtless the only really undisturbed moments of his lite. One afternoon jus: after the terrible disaster at Cold Harbor, his ab. stracted ramble led him along the canal that runs parallel with the Potomac, south of the White House, Wandering a cou- pie of miles in this aimless way, Lincoln came to smoky little cabin, at the door of which an old colored man was pairing potatoes. The Good President "stopped and, taking it for granted that he would be unknown to this humble contraband, sat down and engaged him in conversa- ton. With that patriarchal readiness of opinion peculiar to aged darkies, the lat ter delivered many oracular dissertations on public affairs, the conduct of the war, the duties of the executive, and national affairs generally. The president listened not without gaining an idea or i've from the homely discourse-until it was quite dark As he rose to return the old man set before him a bowl of milk and some hoe-cake, which Lincoln-who told the story himsele-ate with real relish, the srst food he had enjoyed for many day.
 Goodbye, Uncle," he said at last. I'll come to see you again."
 Done do so, Massa Liucum, done de so," said the old man, hospitably. "You know me, then 2" asked the pres ident.
 "Yes, indeed, honey I knowed yer was Ole Abe de berry minute sot my eyes on yer. seed yer once at yer noggeration, Massa President, and nebber could for git yer dis quick. Yer's mighty good man, Massa Lincum, a powerful good man, but de good Lord made yer drefful homely in de face, an dat's fac! l"

Tracking the Thief.
lExchange,l

Semedo, in his History of China" re- lates very curious anecdote of penetra- tion and quickness of mind which oc- cured in that country:
 A certain chagueu, or governor of a province, was taken very i'll, and refused to admit any visitors il to his house. This being told to mandarin of his acquain- tance, he was very much concerned, and after many importunities obtained an in- terview with him. On his entrance he was surprised to find no signs of sickness Tn his friend, and asked what was the matter with him? The governor at length told him that he had lost the em- peror's seal out of the cabinet where it used to be kept, and that as the lock re- mained uninjured he was sensible that the seal was stolen of course he could transact no business, and must soon be deprived of his government, and prob ably also of his life. The mandarin per ceiving the extraordinary nature of the case, asked him if he had any enemy in the city. The other answered, :" Yes and that he was an officer of high rank who had long owed him grudge." Away, then," replied the mandarin "let your most valuable goods be secretly removed this evening; then set fire to the empty part, and call out for help, to which this officer must of necessity repair with the rest, it being ono of the principal duties of his place. As soon as you see him among the people, deliver him, in the public presen co, the cabinet shut as it is. that 1t may be secured in his possession, and if he has caused the seal to be stolen he will put it in its place again when he restores the cabinet ; and if he is not the thief, yet the fault will lie upon him for taking so little care of it, and you will not only bs free from the danger, but also be revenged on your enemy" The gov ernor followed his advice, and the next day received back his cabinet with the seal in it, both parties keeping the secre. for their mutual safety.

In traversing the grand galleries of paintings in Europe one is constantly an- noyed by the astounding anachronisms and ignorance of manners and customs in the times anterior to their own which most of the artists exhibit. Tintoretto, an Italian painter, in picture of the Child ren of Israel gathering mama, has taken the precaution to arm them with the modern invention ot guns. C,goll painted the aged Simeon at the circumcision of the infant Saviour, and, as aged men in these days wear spectacles, has shown his sagacity by placing them on Simeon's nose. In picture by Verrio of Christ healing the sick the lockers on are repre- sented as standing with periwigs on their heads. To match, or, rather, to exceed this ludicrous representation, Durer has painted the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden by an angel in dress fashionably trimmed with founces. The same painter, in his scene of Peter denying Christ, represents Roman sol- dier very comfortably smoking pipe of tobacco. A Dutch painter, in picture ot the wise men worshipping the Holy Child, has drawn one of them in large white surplice and in boots and spurs, and he is in the act of presenting to the child model of a Dutch man. of-war In Dutch picture st Abraham offering up his son, instead of the patriarch stretching forth his hand and taking the lnife," as the scripture in forms us, he is represented using more effectual in strument-he is holding to Isaac's head a blundeybnss Berlin represents in picture the Virgin and Child listening to violin and in another picture he has drawn King David playing the harp at the marriage of Christ with St. Catha- rine.
 A French artist has dawn. with true French taste, the Lords Supper, with the table ornamented with tumblers, filled with cigar lighters and, as if to crown the list of these absurd and ludicrous an- achronisms, the Garden oi Edea has been drawn with Adam and Eve in all their primeval simplicity.
