Dog Was Tired.

Gen. Lawton is said by friends never to

They were tired out, but full of ginger.
The day. was just beginning to dawn when
we heard some one coming down the road,
talking at the top Of his lungs. He talked
and laughed and laughed and talked, and
the men with him were chattering and
joking.
"Here come the colored troops, said Webb,
and sure enough the 25th Inf came along.
The man who was doing the talking was a
six-foot Corporal He carried two guns
and two cartridge-belts loaded full, and
the man to whom the extra gun and belt
belonged was limping alongside him.
The tall Corporal was weighted down with
his blanket and haversack, but in his arms
he carried a dog, the mascot of his COM
pany.

factory, the President remarking that he
was favorable to Mr.. Lincoln, but that Mr..
Butterfield was very strongly urged for the
place, and the chances Of appointment were
in his favor. Mr.. Lincoln had arranged to
be in Washington at a time specified, after
Maj. Wilcox should have got settled and
had sufficient opportunity to look the
ground over. Maj. Wilcox says that he
went to the railroad depot to meet Mr.. Lin
coin at the train. 1t was in the afternoon,
towards night; the day had been quite warm
and the road was dry and dusty. Hefound
Mr. Lincoln just emerging from the depot.
He had on a thin suit of Summer clothesj
his coat being linen duster, much soiled;
and his whole appearance was decidedly
shabby. He carried in his hand an old
fashioned carpet-sack, which added to the
oddity of his appear ance. Maj Wilcox
says: if it had been anXbody else he would
have been rather .shybf being seen in his
company, from tfFe'awkward and unseemly
appearance he presented. Mr.. Lincoln i'm
mediately began. fp talk about his chances
for the appointment; whereupon Maj Will
cox related to Him everything that had
transpired, and wlfat President Taylor had
said to him. They, proceeded at once to
Maj Wilcox's room. where they sat down
to>look over hersituation. Mr.. Lincoln
took from his pocket 4 paper he had pre-
pared in the case, which comprised II rea-
sons why he should iibe appointed Com
missioner of the. General Land Office.
Amongst other things, Mr.. Lincoln pre-
sented the fact that he had been a member
Of Congress from Illinois two years; that his
location was in the West. where the Govern
mont lands were; that he was a native of the
West, and had been reared under Western
influences. He gave reasons why the ap-
pointment should be given to Illinois. and
particularly to the southern part of the
State. Maj. Wilcox says that he was

II the opportunity had offered, they would
have felt his hand. .s': -
One of the Secret Service men was a
German, but he was seldom seen around
headquarters. On one occasion, at La
Grange, Tenn, he made his appearance,
and some of the staff had plenty of fun with
the Dutchman, as they called him, but they
did not know that he was graduate. of
one OF the great universities of Germany,
a magnificent swordsman; fine lin
guist, and a trusted agent of the General.
L arranged for an exhibition of. fencing
and sword exercise with an officer. of the
Regular cavalry and our German friend.
When he appeared in cavalry jacket and
neat clothes, he was not the awkward
Dutchman, but when the sword flew from
the hand of the cavalry officer, the audi
ence wondered where the swordsman came
from. He not long after arrested Sus-
pected spy found in our camp, and brought
him to headquarters, accompanied by a
detail from the cavalry picket. Imagine
his surprise when his prisoner asked to
have him ordered to meet him in a Mississip-
pi town few days after. Hefeturned to
La Grange shortly after with his arm in
bandages, and bad wound, received in
cavalry raid near our lines.
Many people have the impression that a
spy is continually in disguise. This is
not correct; for if caught with any moveable
disguise, such as wig or whiskers, he
would be known as a spy or suspect. Change
of clothing was frequent, and many suits
kept at different places served to change a
man in appearance. Letting the beard
grow careleSsly, and then a smooth face,
makes a decided change. A dress suit
and tramp's outfit is a radical change.

A DIVINITY THAT SHAPES OUR ENDS.
After Mr.. Lincoln became President, a
member OF Congress asked for an appoint
ment in the army in behalf Of son Of the
same Justin Butterfield. When the ap-
plicaton was presented, the President
paused, and after moments silence, said:
'Mr. Justin Butterfield once obtained an
appointment / very much wanted, and in
which my friends believed could have been
useful, and to which they thought was
fairly entitled; and hardly ever felt so bad
at any failure in my life. But l am glad OF
an opportunity of doing a service to his
SON." And he made an order for his COM
mission. In lieu of the desired Office, Gen.
Taylor offered Mr. Lincoln the post Of
Governor, and afterwards OF Secretary, Of
Oregon Territory: but these offers he de-
clined In after years, friend remarked
to him, alluding to the event: How fOrtu-
nate that you declined! II you had gone to
Oregon, you might have come back as
Senator, but you would never have been
President" "Yes, you are probably right"
said he; and then, with musng. dreamy
look. he added: 81 have all my life been q
