The Prince’s large blue tent was pitched on a slightly rising ground apart from the others, and was constantly surrounded by gorgeous oflicers in brighc yellow raiment, with round, flat black hats and long feathers, who were galloping to and fro, directing grand charges of cavalry. It iid seem so funny to see a whole army of ponies ; for there are no horses here, un- less the foreigners chance to import any. These Eight, aners are all Munchus or Mongol Tax-tars, or at any rate are de- scended from such, Chinese troops being ranged under the green standard. These Eight, Banners which, as I ha us said, are multiplied are plain white, red. blue and yellow, and the same colors repeated, and distinguished by a white edge and whine spot.

Those who wish to find beauty in it, however, will say that it befits republican simplicity and the rug- ged honest virtue of Washington.

' In front of the telegraph office at Stock- bridge, Mam, there is a large elm tree, which is the home of three red squirrels. little girl who is employed in the office comes uut a. number of times a day and knocks on the trunk of the great tree, at the same time makiNg a. whistling noise as squirrels do. Insently three squirrels co'ne out of the tree, and. running down the trunk, they take the nuts she has in her hand for them, and go up to a place where the branches divide. Then they sit upon the landing while they crack and eat them. “ Two of them are very tame," she told us, “ but one is rather wild yet.” After the tame ones had been fed, she pointed up to one of the most topmost boughs, where the ” wild one " set, look- ing down so very wistful]. The little girl kept knocking with the nut and whining like a. squirrel. Soon the little creature timidly began to cume down from his high tower, haliing and debating every now and then as it came nearer and nearer to the uplifted nut. At last it made one quick bound, snatched the nut, and w off to a place of safety again. The litt 9 girl told us they were going to put a. squirrel-house in the tree, and try to keep them there all whitenâ€"The Evangelist. A dish for breakfast is made of cold boiled sweet potatoes.
