3. F. TAYLOR, of the Chicago Jour
nal, writer whose every word is a poet
ic thought, thus speaks Of the Printer
truly and prettily. In those pretty pic
lures Of the language, what word painter
. so artistic, SO exquisite as he? Read it,
think Of it, and say, for you cannot help
it, it is So


The Printer is the Adjutant Of thought,
and this explains the mysteries of the
wonderful words that can kindle home
as no song can-that warm a heart as no
hope ean-that word we, with hand
in-hand warmth in it, for the Author and
the Printer are engineers together. En-
gineers indeed When the little Corsi-
can bombarded Cadiz at the distance Of
five miles, it was deemed the very tri-
umph of engineering. But what is that
range to this; where they lombard the
ages yet to come.


There he stands at the case and mar
shals into line the forces armed for truth,
clothed in Immortality and in English.
And what can be more noble than the
equipment of a thought in Saxon--Sax-
on with the ring of the spear and shield
therein, that commissions it when we are
dead, to move gradually on to the last
syllable of recorded time. This is to win
victory from death, for this has no dy-
ing in it.


The Printer is called laborer, and
the Office he performs is toll. Oh, it is
not work, but a sublime rite he is per-
forming, when he thus sights the en-
CINE that is to fling a worded truth in
grander curve than missiles ever before
described-fings it into the bosom of an
age yet unborn. He throws off his coat
indeed, but we wonder the rather that he
does not put his shoes from off his feet,
fer the place whereon he stands is holy
ground.


A little song was uttered somewhere
long ago; it wandered in the twilight
feebler than a star; it died upon the ear;
but the Printer takes it up where it was
lying there in silence like a wounded
bird, and sends it forth from the Ark
that had preserved it, and it flies into the
future with the olive branch of peace,
and around the World with melody, like
the dawning of spring morning.

BY " Old Abe is no. meant President Lin
coln but the Chippewa Eagle that has been
carried by the Eighth Regiment since it entered
the war in 1861


We have seen from time to time many inter
esting items in regard to this " Bird, and we
have taken pains to obtain from Recruiting Off
GERS for that regiment some information as to
bis habits.


Old Abe is an intelligent bird, and under
stands himself. When at liberty to 70 where
he peases the Suffers Tent is bis iayorlte place
OF resort. II any live chickens are TO be found
he is sure to pounce on one, seizng II Nth one
claw, aud hObhling of on the other with the aid
Of his wings Old Abe, We are sorry to say, Is
quite a thief. There is ono fayoiite dog in the
Regiment with which the Eagle keeps on good
terms. They will both eat together at the be-
ginning Of the meal, but towards the cIuse as
provisions get scarce, the Eagle will pitch into
the dog and drive him of II horse comes
within reach, Mr. Eagle is sure to EXHIBIT his
superiority over the quadrupedal creation by
hopping on to the nag and inser ting his talons
10 no very complimentary manner.


Old Abe manlests his appreciation Of 0ratO.
ry IN very unique way.


When distinguished officer comes along and
addresses the troops, he joins with the soldier
10 their cheers. His method Of cheering Is to
spread his pniOns TO their utmost extent, and
then jump up and down on his perch. This
mode OF applause adopted by the Eagle is said
to be very Inspiring to the orator


When the regiment is engaged in battle, Old
Abe manliests the hercest delight At such a
time he will always be found in his appropriate
place at the head OF Co. ID. To be seen in all
his glory he should be seen when the Regiment
is enveloped in the smoke OF battle. Then the
Eagle with spread pinlons jumps up and down
On his perch. utterlng such wild and fearful
screams as an Eagle alone can utter, The hefc.r,
wilder and louder the storm OF battle the tercer,
wilder and louder the sermon Of the Eagle.


Twice Old Abe has been hit by secession bul
lets, one shot carried away third part OF hls
tail feathers. lie Is universal fayorite aud
has been carried with the regiment through sew
en- States. Thousands flock TO sec HIM, and he
is fast becoming famous.


When the war is over with. this Eagle should
be kept at the expense of the State, at the cap
ital in Madison, and the heroic Warrior who
bore him safely through, should bo pensioned by
the State and be retained as the keeper OF the
Eagle To this we are sure all the people OF the
state will agree. What a grand history he will
haye--what "a grand Eagle he will be a hundred
years hence. Pilgrims would come in vast mul-
titudes from all parts OF the world to see tins

A Chattanooga correspondent of the Dstriot
TFibsns gives the following:


Taree days ago young man, whose nams
did not learn, private in tbs 78sh Psnnsylva-
MIA infantry, fell from that point of Lookout
mountain known as Point Lockout, distance
of some eighty fest, upon 3 kind Of table that
is formed in the mountain, about that distance
from the top. OF course he was killed. The
victim being photographer had been allowed
to erect tent while his regiment was stationed
on the mountain, and practice his profession.
When his regiment was ordered from the noun
tain he was allowed permission to remain, as he
had been to some expense in getting up stock
and apparatus. 6ad-to relate, he was given to
the intoxicating cup, and was often in a state of
drunkenness.


While in such state he was foolish enough
to run around the extreme edge Of the rock, for
the amusement Of visitors to the mountains.
he had done this so often while drunk, shat he
/ got so careless as to do II while sober, and on
the fatal day, I am told, he was perfectly sober.
In the presence of lady and her husband, be
stepped to the extreme edge and placed the
palm Of one of his feet on the edge and attempt
ed to bring the other with il, when small piece
Of tbs rock broke off. It was enough TO throw
him of his balance, and sway him backwards,
and preeipitate him down the dizzy hight. In
falling be attempted to catch the skirt Of the
lady's dress, but, with great presence Of mind
she drew back and saved herself the same fate
/ When the unfortunate man was found he was
quite dead. His neck and back were broken
/ literally snapped in two.

tural Sciences, in whose halls may be
found at this day some skeletons Of lions,
tigers, and other animals, famous in their
day.


In the subdivision of labor one man
takes charge of four cages, to clean, feed,
and attend upon the wants Of the occup-
ants. The fesh.eatng animals are fed
but once a day, aud not at all on Sundays.
The monkeys and other small animals are
fed twice a day. The elephants seem to
browse all the day long, None but good
beef is fed, and it must not have the slight
est grain of salt upon it, Water is given
iour or five times a day. A full grown
lion eats from ifteen to eighteen pounds
of meat per day. An elephants rations
are three hundred pounds of hay and two
bushels Of oats per day when he is travel
ing when standing still he gets no oats,
but an additional hundred weight of hay.
The elephants lie down when they 20 to
sleep. Two barrels Of water mosten
each elephants daily hay.


When an animal falls i'll it is doctored.
The mysteries Of a lions phySic must be
sacred here. They belong to his faithful
master and attendant, who knows, by the
experience Of more than seventeen years,
what will best restore his rounded form,
his glossy coat, and his easy breathing.


Not unfrequently animals bring forth
young. Some dozen Of lions have been
born in this country, but only very few
live to cut their second set Of teeth. There
is now in cage on the right hand side a
lion of good size born three or four years
ago in Georgia. He is a very savage and
intractable beast, who submits to but one
master, Mr.. Frost, who nursed him tend
orly when young, and whose voice to this
day will quell him even when he is most
furious. Lions generally produce three
or four at litter. Two cunning little
leopards, on the left, are natives of Wis.
consn. They are not bigger than cats,
but already scratch and fight "as It's their
nature to-" They even quarrel with their
mother for her raw meat. They receive
only cooked meat, and occasional rations
of beef broth.


Until they are two months old they can
not be exhibited, on account of the jealousy
of tho mother, who sometimes kills her
young in her frantic efforts to get them out
of the way when strangers are staring at
them she will pick them up in her mouth
and fling them against tho back of the
cage to get them out of sight. For thi:
reason, when a lioness or tiger has q
young family she is shut off from the out
er world and kept in wholesome quiet till
her nerves acquire some tone, and she ii

cubs without too great agitation,

tagc, and you feel as you were talking
to a human peing, and not to a painted or
