Don Platt relates the following laugh
able, though rather inelegant, bit of
gossip in one of his recent Washington
letters :
The other day Gen. Fleasanton, a
delicate, aensitvp little g .ntu , was
dressing for dinner. e had divested
himself of every garment except the
one spoken of by Hood in that melan
choly song called ,The Song of the
Shirt." He was siling abovt under
bare poles, when he hesad a knobk at
the door, and supposing It to be his
man-who ought to hbve seen there,
and was not-he sang out, "Come in."
To his utter consternation that consti
tutional bmale known as Me. Weed
hull, with a peake4 bat bp4 gman's
overcoat, terminating in unmtable
erinoline, stalked in. As 'she did not
immediately stalk o0 but stood look
ing at the Commlqa ' of Internal
Revenue In the abstract, the last named
gentlema, hidtag beblaixn arm-chair,
stuttered out, "Excuse me, madam!"
ccI wimt to see you on business, Gen.
Pleasaton."
"Well, madam, won't you be so good
as to come to my office. I am notin a
condition to see any one on business
just now, ~a I beg of you to desist and
come to the Bureau."
"I don't 'eie anything about your
coqdlUio, :Gen. Pleasanton,; but it is a
matter of some importance that I wish
to see you updna and tlis isas good an
opportn as any."
,"PMy mam," exclained the
gonied Commisslone~, shifting his a
na~lson ~ one leg to the other,
"Won'u yot permit me to drees for din
nert?"
"I have no objections to your driess
lugfor dinner, but what I want to know
to know is, what-are you going' to do
aboit this Vanderbilt oase? That Van
derbilt case is a great outrage, sir, and I
cau see that somebody is to be swiitdled
out f 'h.lf a million of dollars," and
here followed a statement of the Van
derbilt case, that occupied just twenty
minutes by.theI ock.,snd was veryt fer
cible and emphatic. At the end of it,
when the constitutional Woodhull paus
ed for breath, the Commissioner said:
"I don't know anything abofit the
Vanderbilt case, madam. I have not
looked~at a single paper. I have not
hsi rqgthing but what you have told
me. I have not had time. My Gu, I
don't get time t get on pyby bz ,
I don't want to be rude, but I sb yq

At this moment a knock was heard
at the.doer, and Pleasanton yelled loud

A man with a family should own the
house in which he dwells, if it be in
his power to make such an acquisition.
When a working mpu owqs his home,
he feels stronger, more confident, more
cheerful, a'9 much happier, in the
midst of Ill worldly trials, than he
would or could feel if he were without
an anchorage, so to speak, for his pur
poses, aims, resolutions, afBections and
,aspirations. Bonds bearing gold inter
est, and well secureed, are all good in
their way. But a home is the most ae.
suring bond for the head of a family,
