Ill 1862 I saw au advertisement iu a little weekly paper, The Cuautrymnn, calling for au apprentice to learn the printing business. This advertisement 1 responded to, and it was not many •lays beiore I was installed In the office of t he only geuuine country newspaper ever printed in this country. Th* Countryman was edited by Mr.’Joseph A. Turner, aud was published on his plantation, nine or leu utiles from any postoffice. In truth. The Countryman was published iu the country* A par tridge built her nest withiu five juices of rig: window where I learned to settyjie, a id hatched her brood undisturbed. The cat squrrels frolicked ou the roof, and a gray fox, whose range was iu the neighborhood, used to flit across the orchard path iu full view. The Coun tryman was published ou a plantation, and it was on this aud neighboring plantations that I became familiar with the curious myths aud animal stories that form the basis o( the volumes cred ited to Uncle Remus. I absorbed tlie stories, songs aud myths that I heard, but had no idea of their literary value until, some time in the seventies, Lip- piucott’s Magazine printed an article on the subject of regro folk-lore, contain ing rough outline? of some of the stories. This article gave me a cue, and the le- gemls told by Uncle Remus are the re sult. While setting type for The Country man 1 contributed surreptitiously to the columns of that paper, setting my article from the “case” instead of com mitting them to pai>er, aud thus leav ing no evidence of authorship. 1 sup posed that this was a huge joke; but, as Mr. Turner read the proof of every line that went to bis paper, it is prob able that he understood the situation and abetted it. At any rate, he begau to lend me books from his library,which comprised a collection of literature both large and choice. The books forming this library have since beeu dispersed, but there were at least five hundred volumes in tlie collection that modem book-lovers would pay high prices for. This was tlie accidental beginning of a career that has beeu accidental throughout. It was an accideut that 1 went to the Cunutrywan, an accident that I wrote “Uncle Retnns,” and au accident that the stories put forth under that name struck tlie popular fancy. In some respects these accidents are pleasing, but in others they are em- harrasing. For instance, people persist it considering uie a literary man, when 1 have no literary trainiug, and I know- nothing at all of what Is termed liter ary art. I hare no opportnnity to nour ish auy serious literary ambition, and the probability Is that if such an op portunity had presented itself I would have refused to take advantage of it.

Wa?hinjctoii Letter to the Clevrlawl Leader. 1 heard yesterday the first true ver sion of the monkey and hand organ story which ha* been privately toW in ^ ^ w# freely eln-lea hereunaL.aiut than, -tot tfae-penwm -whom Mr. Ihrri* not always correctly. It comes to me from a high Treasury official who has something to do with the settlements of Geu. Buttler’s army accounts. These accounts were very large and some of the items seemed out of all nature to the expenses probably incurred. After Butler h(td. however, explained them, it was seen that they were perfectly right and proper. There were so many of these strange items that Butler was called to the Treasury to look over the accounts with the officials. One New Orleans item objected to was “Banquet, Post Office to St. Charles Hotel— $400.” “Now,” said tlie Treasurer, “it’s al: right, Gen. Butler, for you to give as many bauquets as you please, but 1 don’t see how, in justice, you could ask Uncle Sam to pay $400 fur a supper walch you choose to give*to the post master at New Orleans at the St. Charles Hotel there.” “Oh,” said Gen, Butler, with a laugh, ••That Item is easily explained. Ban quet,* is the New Orleans name for street, and that $400 was spent for fix ing the street between tlie post office and St. Charles Hotel.” After the laugh ter over this item bad subsided, the TreMsnry official said: “Well, lien. Butler, 1 uo have doubt these accounts are all right, and if you wil 1 explain satisfacrot ilv oue other item I will pass them. Here is a charge of $50 for a hand organ and a monkey. Now what possible use a hand organ aud a monkey would be :o the United States Government, or to you as its General, 1 cannot see.” Gen. Butler then told the following: “I can also explain that hand orgau and monkey item. It was the hottest time of niv campaign about Baltimore. The Confederates were very close mouthed, and I could get no inside news of their doings. One day I saw a great crowd gathering round a man with a hand organ who had a very large monkey. As I drew nearer I noticed that the man playing the organ looked very much like a smart Irish man whdm I had among my soldiers. I said nothing, but went back to my headquarters, and calling up the Irish man, la whom I had |ierfect confi dence, I gave him some money and told hint to go aud bay out the rnusi- c an. He did so. He bought the hand urgan, the monkey,and tiie musician’s clothes, and paid $50 for them. Dressed iu these I sent him out as a spy. He traveled all the surrounding country and gave me some very valuable in formation wliich was worth thousands of dollars to the United States Govern ment, and,” concluded Gen. Butler, “you can thus see why it paid the United States to pay $50 for a hand organ and a monkey.” would be pleased to have invited, and prominent among the Northern Gen erals were Generals Don Carlos Buell and Rosencranz. These gentlemen will be invited, and l hope they will find it convenient to be present. “I bring back with me a few me mentos of Mr. Davis, which 1 obtained from Mrs. Davis ufter much solicita tion. The most important is some of the hair tiiat was cut from his head at the time he was imprisoned in Fortress Monroe. At the time this hair was cut from Mr. Davis’s iiead the comman dant of the fort demanded that the locks should be turned over to him, but Mr. Davis refused to do so, claim ing the hair as his property, which claim was allowed. “Another article given me by Mrs. Davis is a pocket knife which has been carried by Mr. Davis for twenty-three years. “I don’t know what disposition i shall make of these articles, but Mrs. Davis gave them to be used for the Confederate Monument, in whatever manner that may be thought liest.
