VISITING PRESIDENTS WGFg.-Mrs. Troupe,
the accomplished wife Of u British officer, once
visited the wife of President Washington, which
she describes
"Well honestly tell you, never was so
ashamed in all my life. You see Madam -,
and Madam -, aad myself, thought we would
visit Lady Washington, and as she was said to be
so grand lady, we thought we must put on our
best bibs and bands. So We dressed ourselves in
our most elegant Iuilies and silks, and were in.
troduced to her ladyship. And don't you think
we found her knitting, with a check apron on.-
She received us very graciously and easily, but
after the compliments were over, she resumed her
knitting. There we were without stitch of
work, and sitting in state, but General Washing
toms lady knitting stockings for her own hus
band"
Moral-no girl can become true lady without
proper knowledge ofhousehold duties. She may
be proficient in educational and social qualities
and still lack the lady's requisites if unable TO
perform the duties OF house keeper.

FULLY QUALnIED.-A young man applied TO
the French robber, Cartoucbe, to join his band.
"Where have you served ?" asked the robber.
"Two years with an attorney, and six months

had served in my troop"

NEWSPAPER VICIssITUDEs.--Thc oldest newspa-
per in the mining region of this State, is num-
bered among the things that were. After nine
years Of unceasing toll had been devoted to its
publication, it died. Sonora was the first mining
town to boast the publication Of n newspaper, we
believe. Most of the time it has been edited by
JAS. O'Sulivan, a man in every sense of the word.
The Union Democrat, published in the same place
speaks in the following kind and rcgreirul terms
of its decease
"The name of the Democratic Age will soon
usurp its place Could more be asked for the
.fge than that as much ability may be displayed
il its editorial management as was formerly rec
ognized in the HeraH ? We think not. Farewell,
alas rest quietly f; you have passed through ma
ny rough scenes. Does our old animosty cause
feeling of cXultation? MOI 'pon our honor,
no! Sadly we say farewell, old companion in the
dr, arincss Of California newspaper liie."
The politics Of the Age is indicated in its name.
We only hope it may have the well.wishcs its

business has been moderate, owing TO reluccd sup
