HUMoR IN OFFICIAL PAPERS.
General Grants Pun and MIR. Lincoln's
Dispatches to His Generals.

1t has been semi-o officially recorded
somewhere that General Grant is the
only President who ever dared to perpe-
trate pun in state paper, and that he
did it in one of his messages when he
said: agriculture is the groundwork
of our national prosperity" President
Lincoln's joking propensities are historic,
and if he has left no message with pun
in it the Government files at least afford
numerous illustrations of his inclination
to give play to his humor.
In preparing for the printer the manu-
script of the rebellion records the officials
of the War Department frequently run
across letters and kilograms written in
Mr.. Lincolns characteristic style, and
abounding in wit, all the more surprising
when the circumstances under which the
correspondence were carried on are re-
membered. In June, 1868, General Dan
T. Tyler telegraphed President Lincoln
from Martinsburg that he and his com
mand We're besieged. The President inn
mediately wrote this message in reply:
If you are besieged how do you dis.
patch me! Why did you not leave
before being besieged?"
The following month General Thomas
telegraphed: The Union forces are
now passing Carlisle" (Pa). To this mes
sage Mr.. Lincoln replied: Lee is now
passing the Potomac faster than the
forces you mention are passing Carlisle.
y Forces now beyond Carlisle i
: will in my unprofessional opinion
be quite as likely to capture the man in
the moon as any part of Lees army"
\ prominent general on another
occasion telegraphed Mr.. Lincoln that
the head of IS army Confederate
is at burg and the tail is on the plank
road near town" To this the Presl-
dent replied: You say the head of
---s army is at burg and the tail
at town. If this be true the animal
must be there somewhere. Can't YOU
break his back 2"
When the President and every member
of the administration were apprchensive
that Early would succeed in marching
into Washington. Mr. Lincoln sat down
by the side of his telegraph operator and
III telegram to the commanding gen
ertl of the Union forces explained by the
Rule of Three how it was possible to keep
the Confederates from reaching the

A Literary Treasure.

One of the treasures Of the George w.

There's something in a flying horse,
And something in huge balloon"
On the margin of which Byron wrote
the following singing parody:

who seems to be the leading horticultur-
ist of Oregon, from the fact that he holds
the presidency of both the state board of
horticulture and the state horticultural
society, is at the Palace. He visits
California, where he is well known, at
the invitation of the state board of hor-
ticulture which holds its annual meeting
at San Jose on the 18th inst. He will
spend the interim in studying the fruit
situation here, with view of securing
closer cooperation between the Califor-
mia and Oregon boards. Whatever. he
gathers in the shape of pointers will be
used in suggesting changes in the Ore
gon laws at the coming session of the
legislature. Although he has passed
the Goth mile-post, DIR. Cardwell is an
active, vigorous man, showing evidence
that Oregon climate is not drowsy one

innovation in England.

A London dispatch says the adoption
of the mans saddle by number of
ladies who have devoted themselves to
the Somerset hunts is a prominent topic
in society. 1t is startling to see these
ladies attired in divided skirts, blouses
and manish hats, formost in the hunt
astride their horses. Some of them ap-
pear in long riding coats, boots and
breeches. The most generally accepted
form of the riding habit, however, is
divided skirts. The style meets with
approving comment.
