of orchestration Richard Strauss himself, profess

1t is the minds that is his aid.
Praeger says of Wagner's work on Siegfried" y:
He did not seek his ideas at the piano. He went
to the piano with his idea already composed, and
made the piano his sketch-book, wherein he worked
and reworked his subject, steadily modelling and

Ready When Enemy Was Gone

ON July IL, upon receiving message from General
~ Meade explaining somewhat in detail the move
ascertain them, he called me to a large map hanging
my desk, which he frequently consulted, and
pointed out that it seemed to him that the enemy
were surely being driven to the river, instead
of being prevented from doing General Meade's
message closed with these words: ct is my inten-
ton to attack the enemy tomorrow, unless some
thing intervenes to prevent it, for delay will
strengthen the enemy and will not increase my
force" Calling me again to the map, and pointing
out the positions of the various portions of the army
message over again, he paced the ROOM wringng
his hands and saying: They will be ready to fight
magnificent battle when there is enemy there
to fight" His apprehensons proved to be
justifabe; for the next morning, when the attack
proposed to be made, the enemy had indeed
escaped the river.
On the seventh of the following August, while
alone in my office, Mr. Lincoln in, bringing
long message which he had written with his
hand, addressed to Governor Seymour of New York,
He sat down at desk and carefully reviewed it,
that l might that it properly transmitted.
He explained to something of the occasion of it,
a special messenger having over from New
York with long argument urging, among other
things that the draft Should be suspended until the
Supreme Court had decided to the constitution
atty of the draft law; and he told funny story
about Boston minister who had been drafted and
the criticism he made upon that method OF recruiting
the army. This message proved unanswerabe,
and the draft proceeded as had previously been
ordered
Perhaps popular story any that have been
attributed to Lincoln is that referring to alleged
delegation who appealed to him to remove General
Grant from command because of his indulgence of
strong drink The story has it that, after listening
to the appeal the President inquired if any of them
could tell him where General Grant got his whisky;
because" he is reported to have said, "f could

other Generals 1 heard gentleman inquire of
him soon after this story became current whether
It was true. He replied: That would have been
very good if l had said it, but l reckon it was
charged to me to give it currency" He said the
origin of that story in King Georges time Bit
ter complaint had been made to the King that
General Wolfe then operating against Quebec, was
mad. Mad is her" said the King Then wish
he'd bite some of my other Generals"
On December 81, 1863, letter addressed to
A. Keith, Halifax, Nova Scotia who was known to
be Confederate agent in that city, intercepted
by Postmaster Wakeman of New York city as a
suspicious document and forwarded to the Secretary
of War. 1t written in cipher made up of five
different characters each representing the letters of
the alphabet, and they SO interminged that the
discovery of one of the plans which the cipher
devised would afford clue to either of the others.
1t referred to several stenographers and experts
in correspondence in the War Department building,
of whom made any progress toward its transla-
ton. 1t finally brought to the three cipher
operators in the telegraph office whom have men,
toned After several hours of close study they
made the translation complete. 1t reported the
receipt and forwarding of twelve thousand rifed
muskets for the of the Confederacy and also dis
closed plan for the seizure of two steamers which
were to sail from New York city few days later.
The translation forwarded to Robert Murray,
then United States marshal in New York city. The
sailing of the two steamers postponed and they
no doubt saved by the discovery of the plot
concerning them.

a minute which meant that if he could hear their

wanted; but that it did not often happen that way.

a charm for him, and he would repeat them
over and over to himself. He in the habit of
talking to himself, as several times observed when
he walking between the White House and the

Tad, who was often with him and whose idea of

The Battle of Drainesville was, believe the first
engagement of the Army of the Potomac under
Mcclellan, and occurred after weeks of spirited
picket firing. 1t, however, accomplished nothing
of practical results and it seemed that both armies
were afraid to make serious attack. After reading
the reports Mr.. Lincoln said it reminded him of two
puppy dogs he had seen barking furiously at each
other through paling fence. They kept up the
most savage snarling as they ran along, until they
came to open gate, when each snapped its jaws
at the other, turned quickly around, and away.

Capture of a Rebel Bond Factory

A FEW days later second letter to the same
address was intercepted, and by means of the
key which the first translation had furnished this
quickly translated by the same boys and forwarded
to Marshal Murray. This resulted in the arrest of
the engraver, the photographer, and printer in New
York city and the capture of several millions of rebel
bonds and notes of various denominations which
they had made, and also the capture of the machin
