1t would seem from this that the dis

a prey to otficeseekers as are the public
men Of our own time. His manner of dis
posing Of them is amuslngly illustrated in
the following duecdote

Very well. said Taleyrand, but tell

with hope, and said:
Sir such and such place Is vacant.
Vacant, - replied Ialleyrand We'll,
what do you wish me to do? You ought
to know that when place is vacant 1t has
already been promised
Like many another famous man, both be-
fore his time and since, Ileyrand exhibit

lance to settling with his creditors. When
he was appointed Bishop of Autun by
Louis XVI, he considered a fine new
coach to be necessary to the proper main
teuance Of the dignity Of that office. Ac-
cordingy coach was ordered and deliver
ed, but not paid for Some time afser, as
the newly appointed bishop was about to
enter his coach he noticed strange man
standing near who bowed continually UNI
Ill the coach was driven away. This occur

rand, addressing the stranger, said:
"Well, any good man, who are you?
II am your coachmaker, my lord, re-

"Ahl' said TaIleyrand, you are my

Bivouac at the court house to-day
was not so largely attended as wa,
expected, on account of the incessant-
Iy heavy rainfall ali day. This in

one Of the most interesting meetings

ever there is goodly number of the
brave old boys in attendance.
DR.. w. w. McMurray, Nashville,

glad welcome by comrades and are
taking part in the proceedings. We
go to press too early to give the de

around, taking the older men frsl
who are competent to fill the stations,
and it is anticipated that Capt. 7. II.
Smith, vice president, will be elected
president, and Col. w. i. Young

no doubt be reelected chaplain, Clay
