Too Smart.

General Hancock was sorely tried in
1851 by the extreme freshness of some
Of the officers Of his command. One day
the major OF q western regiment rode
up to Hancock's headquarters and, with
out d~ismounting, asked that General
Hancock step out Of his tent, as he de-
sired to speak with him. When the
'snperb" came forth, the pompous ma
ior said to the general that he had come
over for the purpose OF getting orders as
to what his IT giment should 10 that att
ernoon, and without waiting for Han
cock to give directions he went on to
state that i'll his opinion, as the COM
mander Of the regiment in the absence
of the colonel and lieutenant colonel,
his regiment should devote most of the
afternoon to battalion drill. Hancock
quietly gave directions that his regi-
ment remain i'll camp and fix up it's
quarters AZ nicely as possible. When
the major rode away, Hancock squared
himself, folded his hands aud looked
after him. Without addressing any par
ticular person he said: 1.-The mayor is
