Louis Uenecke Elected Commander and Hannibal Chosen as the Next Place of Meeting. Yesterday was another delightful bright spring day such as must have made every veteran feel thankful Whatever Macon may have lacked to make the encampment all it should have been, it must be acknowledged that our climate at least was all that could be hoped for or desired. The encampment met yesterday morning with the interesting business of electing officers and delegates to the National Encampment which meets in Louisville, in September, and of selecting the next place of meeting, The entire morning was taken up in balloting.

A Prussian officer quartered in Alsace one day visited a chapel in the outskirts of the town. Greatly surprised at seeing a silver mouse among the votive offerings, he demanded an explanation from an "intelligent native" who was showing him round. "An entire quarter of the town," the Alsatian proceeded to relate, "was once infested by an army of mice, which constituted a veritable plague. Then a kind-hearted lady took it into her head to get a silver mouse made and to present it to the Virgin. A week afterwards all the mice had disappeared.

The, officer burst out laughing, and exclaimed: "What! Are the people in this country so stupid as to believe such things? "Oh! no," promptly replied the Alsatian; "for if we did, we should long since have offered the Virgin a silver Prussian." L-3 Petit Parisien.
