MONDAY EVENING, APRIL II.

~ Ipr,c CIrNERos1TY.-Here's an IN
cident of Gen. Robert E. Lee that mas ne.e,
been nubIshed. Col. Chapman, the spsc'"'
;nternal revenue officer, was colonel OF MUS.
hv,s regiment. Frequently Mosby was oh
making private scoutings, accompanied W
only few trusty men. ln such caS.' n
,eft Col, Chapman in command. Early IN
January, in 1865, the Colonel went 10 re-
,arshnro TO see Gen. Lee about moving t
mart of Mosby's command for the remainuer
pe the winter down near Kinsale, On the ~
tomoc river. While the Colonel was talking
to Gen. Lee they were interrupted oy lnt
arrival Of q special courier. Inc gay was
very cold. There had been rain for seVeF"i
DAYS. This day the rain had fallen IN toi-
rents. The war was drawing to close f anu
rations and clothin" were very scarce n'
courier was wretchedly clad. he had no
overcoat His suit was very mucn worn an"
was soaking wet, for he mad riooen man
miles that day in the drenchlng ram: zen.
Lee drew a chair to small Wooa nre an'
haJe the man take seat. When he had coz
Guided his errand and was thoroughly
warned he arose to 60. Gen. Lee glanced
at him almost furtively, as if he felt tina;
attire observed
'Are you returning at once to your Gen
eral's?" inquired Gen. Lee.
"Yes, sir" was the response, III my horS''
has finished feeding"
1T is still raining very hard said Gen.
Lee, 'have you no rubber coat?
ooh, that don't matter, General, was thu
evasive but brave answer.
"Then," says Col. Chapman, Gen. Lee
remained silent moment, walked to the
wall where his rubber coat hung, took II
down and gave it to the soldier, who pro
tested in vain against Gen. Lees deprlvlng
himself. I'll tell you," continued Col. Chap
man, "there "ere many generals III thc
army who would have risked their lives for
their men, but Lee is the only one | saw
part with gum coat on rainy day in
dead winter, and that to private who was
not even Immediately connected with Lees
command"

process OF coaxing began. Fresh
grass, carrots and potatoes were
torown on the floor of the cage, and the
ualntler mOrseS were held TO BombPs
nose and then quickly drawn back while
the beast budged few inches each time
10 catch them. The rhinoceros is one of
the most suspicious of animals and has
greater dread of taking a step In the dark
than even the elephant. For half an hour
Bomb could not be tempted further than
the cages portal. Then his appetite got
the better OF him little and by slow de-
grees his bulky body crossed the line.
While he was eating an especially green
ana tender pile of grass IN one corner OF
the little iron inclosuTe the wooden box
IN which he crossed the sea was cleverly
pulled away and the iron gate slid shut
and locked.
Bomb did not notice the clatter, but
Kept on eating his tender grass. The sea
voyage has given him an appetite which
promises rapid growth in flesh. The
Keepers are laying small wagers now as
tohow mucn he gains day, and Supt.
COnklin is confident that Bombi will
weigh 1000 pounds more in six or eight
months. The rhinOcer0s is fed now on
hay, oats, bran, green grass aud vegeta-
bles, and has about ten pals Of water a
day. He drinks much less than the ele-
ihAAbSs bNb GObS HGdIly bNiOS as AhuShs
Bomb, though sluggish, rather swinish
beast, Is dOcile, and looks fairly intelii-
gent. He seems to have a sort of affection
for his old keeper, Fritz.
Bomb, as the first rhinoceros ever
exhibited in Central Park, and the largest
and handsomest one in America, has
eclipsed the elephants, and even the
tigress Cleopatra, as spectacle for the
curious. A crowd of naturalists, large
and small, passed ali day yesterday as
near the rhinOcerOs' cage as Supt. COnk-
Inns rope barriers would let them.
Opinions varied as to his beauty, but
there was no dissent when it came to the
question OF his size, his uncouth head and
legs and ugly appearance generally. The
cage itself Is not quite finished. The
cement floor is not dried yet, and
temporary cover of boards has
heen laid over it. There is but
one beam across the top ana another will
be added in day or two to steady the
walls. The cage measures 20 by 10 by s
feet. The bars of iron on the sides are
several inches apart and measure half an
inch in diameter. As soon as the altera-
tiOns are made-by Wednesday probably
the barriers Will be taken down and the
public will be permitted to gaze at short
range at the new rhinOceros.
The authorities had rather decided to
call the beast Hannibal, to fit in with
their present classical catalogue, but the
name brought over by Fritz seems so APP
proprIate and catching that Supt. COnk-
lin thinks it best to make no change now.

FRANK HURD ON THE TARIFF.
How the Morrison Bill Was Knocked
Out-Arguing for Free Trade.
From tie NsaO YORK Herdld.

From the Nea0 York Herald.
Elk. Congressman Frank H. Hurd, the
great Ohio apostle Of free trade, was at
the Hoffman House yesterday. In speak
ing to a reporter in reference to the de.
feat of Mr.. Morrison on the tariffquestion
in the House of Representatives he said
that it had been brought about-by the ad-
verse vote OF 40 Democratic members;
otherwise the bill wOuldha been taken
up for consideration. The President and
his friends did all they could in its favor,
but the Eastern vote, comprising New
York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and
New Jersey and five votes from Ohio,
killed the bill.
"Will this defeat annoy or embarrass
the Democratic party TO any extent?' he
was asked.
"Why, no. Reform Of the tariff is bound
to come in the long run. The people are
being educated in that direction every
day. We have heard the cry for several
wears past that there is overprOduction,
aud that shows that the policy OF protec-
Lion haslbeen overdone and that there is
no longer a sufficiently available market
for domestic products, and manufacturers
must seek other fields AMI pastures new!
in other countries for their goods. The
they have been so long depending
on the government for protection
that they have no feeling OF enter
prise ia them to engage in seeur-
ING markets for their merchandise In
other lands, like South Americ q, the West
Indies, India, China and Australia. Eng
land, with her free trade principles, mo
nopOlizes the trade of allthese lands and.
sends her products all over the earth.
Our merchants are Ike children who have
been too long nursed by their m0thers;'
tney should have been weaned long ago.
Projection has been the means of making
them timid, aud afraidtO try any ventures
Outaide of their own country, though they.
admit that they are compelled by over
production 90 keep tbeir-mills idle for SIX
