FIRST PRAYER IN CONGRESS-.

In TIL ,tchers Military Journal, under
date of December, 1777, is found note
containing the identical ''irst prayer in
Congress, made by the Rev. Jacob
Duche, gentleman of great eloquence.
Here it is, an historical curiosity:
80, Lord, our heavenly Father, high
and mighty King of kings, and Lord of
lords, who dost from thy throne behold
all the dwellers on earth, and reignest
with power supreme and uncontrolled
over all the kingdoms, empires, and gov
ernments; look down in mercy, we be-
seech thee, on these American States,
who have fed to thee from the rod of
the oppressor, and thrown themselves on
thy gracious protection, desiring to be
henceforth dependent only on thee; to
thee they have appealed for the right
eousness of their cause; to thee do they
now look up for that countenance and
support W which thou alone canst give; take
them, therefore, heavenly Father, under
thy nurturing care; give them wisdom in
council, and valor in the field; defeat the
malicious designs of our cruel adverse
res; convince them of the unrighteous-
ness of their cause; and if they still per-
sist in their sanguinary purposes, 0 let
the voice of their own unerring justice
sounding in their hearts, constrain them
to drop the weapons of war from their
unnerved hands in the day of battle! BE
thou present, 0 God of Wisdom! and di-
rect the councils of this honorable as,
sembly; enable them to settle things on
the best and surest foundation, that the
scene of blood may be speedily closed
that order, harmony, and peace may be
effectually restored; and truth and jus
tice, religion and piety, prevail and -four
ish among thy people. Preserve the
health of their bodies and the vigor ot
their minds; shower down on them, and
the millions they here represent, such
temporal blessings as thou seest expedi
ent for them in this world, and crown
them with everlasting glory in the worlc
to come. All this we ask in the name
and through the merits of Jesus Christ
thy Son, ou1 Savior Amen"

party that they were to turn back and
accompany him to Shreveport, they did
so without hesitation On the way he
treated them with the greatest care and
.peliteness; told them what he would do
for them all when he got to New Or
leans; his wife and her sister should live
like ladies, and the brother should be
sent to school and brought up gentle
meg and scholar. The girls and the
boy at first terrified and helpless, now
began to look upon him as husband
and brotheri -law-perhaps better than
the brother they had started to seek in
Texas. The villains injunction to all,
not to blab about the manner of their be-
coming acquainted and their travelling
.together, was faithfully obeyed-all
three being afraid of offending him, by
any word or act of theirs.
When they reached Shreveport, Dean
sold his horse and the horse and wagon
of the children; pocketed the money, as
protector of the party, and also kindly
took charge of what cash the children
happend to have with them. He was
lawfully married to Mary, before wit
nesses; and, taking passage on the
steamer r. W. Powell, he brought them
al to this city. It was probably for the
purpose of providing decent quarters for
the girls, and ultimately effecting the
ruin of the unmarried sister, Martha,
that he swindled Messrs. Hugely & Co.
out of S198, under the pretence that he
had brought lot of cotton down the
river with him.
The family name of these young vic
TINS is Hunter; their home was in Winn
parish; and since their arrival here, in
the early part of last month, their resi-
dence has been room (of which we
have already spoken) in the house of a
Mrs. Fredericks, on Annunciation street,
near the Girls House of Refuge. Dean,
since his committal, has given his written
order for the sale of the furniture, and
has sold his dogs, in order to enable his
wife and her sister and brother to get
back home.
The sisters were seen passing along
St. Charles street yesterday, in their
cheap hoopless dresses and white sun
bonnets and the special police officers
who had befriended them, lodged out
of their way for two reasons first, be-
cause public scandal had begun to attach
itself to their friendship for the poor sim
pletons and secondly, because they
found that the girls had taken several
moonlight walks with some gallant
painters 'prentices, who had been at
work near where they roomed. The
sum Of all being this, that the girls had
found new friends, either good or bad,
and were not in any particular hurry
about leaving town.

Washington was amember of the know
nothing order, and directed that none
but Americans should be put on guard
which greatly annoyed the Americans
their duty being entirely destroyed by
perpetual turns of guard duty.
He was twice elected President of the
United States by the combined whig and
know nothing parties, the federalists and
abolitionists voting against him, and
served out his time with great credit tc
himself and the country-drawing his
salary with a regularity and precision
worthy all commentator.
Although, for the time in which he
lived, a very distinguished man, the ig-
norance of Washington is something
perfectly incredible. He never trav-
1eled ON a. steamboat; never san "a rail-
road, or locomotive engine; was perfectly
ignorant of the.principle of the magnetic
telegraph; never had daguerreotype,
Colts pistol, Sharp's rifle, or used fric-
tion match.
He ate his meals with an iron fork,
never used postage stamps on his letters,
and knew nothing of the application OF
chloroform to alleviate suffering, or the
use of gas for illumination. Such a man
as this could hardly be elected President
of the United States in these times, al
though, it must be confessed, we occa-
sionally have candidate who proves not
much better informed about matters in
general.
Washington died from exposure on
the summit of Mount Vernon, in the
year 1876, leaving behind him name
that will endure forever if posterity per-
sist in calling their children after him
to the same extent that has been fash
ionable.
He is mentioned in history as having
been first in peace, first in war, and
first in the hearts Of his countrymen;'
in other words he was No. l in every
thing, and it was equally his interest and
his pleasure to look out for that num-
ber, and he took precious good care to
do So
A portrait, by Gilbert Stuart, of this
great soldier and statesman may be seen,
very badly eNgraved, in the History OF
the United States, but as it was taken
when the General was in the act of chew
ing tobacco, the left cheek is distended
out Of proportion, and the likeness rem
dered very unsatisfactory.
Upon the whole, Gen. George Wash
ington was very excellent man; though h
unfamiliar with 'sScott's Infantry Tao
tics" he was a tolerable officer, though
he married a widow, he was tond hus-
band, and though he did not know the
Beeeher family, he was sincere chris
tian.
A monument has been commenced in
the city of Washington to his memory,
which is to be FIVE hundred feet in
height; and it should be the wish of ev
cry true. hearted American that his vir-
tues and his services may not be forgot
ten before it is completed; in which case
their remembrance will endure forever

country--is Lieutenant in the U. S. Army. This
Iburlesque bioar:p! of Washington is s hit at the
mistakes made by many writers in quoting important
more humor into small space.

Bury me in the morning, mother
oh let me have the light
of one bright day on my grave, mother,
Ere you leave me alone with the night
Alone in the night Of the grave, mother
'Tis thought of terrible fear
And you will be here alone, mother,
And stars will be shining here.
So bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
OF one bright day on my grave, mother
Ere am left alone with the night.
You tell me Of the Savior's love, mother
feel it in my heart
But oh! from this beautiful world, mother,
'Tis hard for the young to partl
Forever to part, when here mother,
The soul is fain to stay,
For the grave is deep and dark, mother,
And Heaven seems far away.
Then bury me in the morning, mother,
And let me have the light
Of enc bright day on my grave, mother,
Ere 1 am left alone in the night.
Never unclasp my hand, mother,
Till it falls away with thine
Let me hold the pledge of thy love, mother,
Till feel the love, divine; .....-..
The love divine-oh! look, mother,
Above the beams see
And there an angels face mother,
Is smiling down ON mel
So bury me in the morning, mother,
When the sun-beams food the sky
For death is the gate of life, mother,
And leads us toslight on high.

A PRESIDENTIAL DINNER,

Occasional, in his last letter from
Washington to the Press, describes a
dinner at the White House as follows:
The hour is generally fixed at six
O'Clock, P. NJ, the time when millions
are taking their supper. You receive
a ca-d about the size of an ordinary
playing card, and if you are invited by
the President the dimensions of the card
are double, and generally reads as fol-
| lows:
'The President requests the honor of
your company to dinner, on Friday,
April 5, at 6 2. M. An early answer is
requested -
If you GO to the Presidents you are
expected to dress in your best clothes,
and to wear white gloves. You are in
troduced into the small reception room.
where you find the President, Miss Lane,
Mrs Judge Roosevelt, James Buchanan,
Jr, and the rest ofthe household. Af-
ter being duly presented to them, you
await the arrival of the other guests
The private secretary, Mr.. Buchanan,
Jr., quietly informs you that you are to
escort to the dinner such lady, whom
he now introduces to you, and the lady
in your company is presented to another
gentleman, who is to be her companion
during the feast. The hour having ar
rived, the company move into the large
drawing room, where they are dazzled by
the gorgeous display of plate and gas
light, and see a number of graceful wait
ers, also in white gloves; whose business
it is to attend to the guests.
The President takes his seat not at
the head of the table, but on the side,
exactly midway, Miss Lane acting as his
vis-a -Uis You find your name beauti-
fully written on card laid upon the
plate, before the seat you are to occupy
and the entertainment begins. The
cooking is generally French cooking
the wines costly and rare; and you will
soon have an opportunity Of hearing the
great man. talk. You need not be in.
formed that Mr. Buchanan is one of the
most delightful diners in the world
He has fund Of small talk for the la
dies, variety of fashioned anec
dotes, and, as he is by no means sparine
of the juice Of the grape he grows more
easy, and more afable, and more agree
able as the repast goes on, calling ou
one after the other of the company, ane
paying compliments to the ladies, occa
sionally taking wine with them. Yo,
never ask the President to take wine will
you, butwait to be invited by him. AT
ter remaining in this delightful societ,
for several hours, at given signal from
the President the company rise, return
to the reception room, where they arr
served with coffee and Hqueurs, or, if the,
prefer it. with brandy, after which yo1
take your leave and go home to renlem
ber the hospitalities you have enjoyed
Some of these dinners are dull AM
stately enough, but 1 have known ther
to be as delightful as the most genia
, could desire.

Winter Wheat I'm Illinois.

A letter from Paxton, Ford Co., ILL.,,
March II, says: -......
"The Winter wheat looks we'll, and
now promises an abundant yield. There
is farmer west of Paxton who has one
wheat field, 1000 acres, that now prom
ises to give an abundant harvest. We
never had more promising season than
this. 1t is remarked by the oldest set
tiers that they never have seen the
ground in so'good order this early in
the year. The ground has been frozen all
Winter, and is now light and pliable, and
easily worked Our farmers are in the
midst of sowing their Spring wheat; in
fact, some have done sowing, and are
now blowing for corn.
All of which is very encouraging, and
as we hear from other sources, quite
true in regard to the almost entire Great
West.

THE GREAT CALIFORNIA LAND
CLAIMS.
Correspondence of the N. v. Tribune.


PHLADrLrnIA, 4, Apnl 9.
Certain circles here are in futter Of
excitement touching the great Califor-
MIA land claim to the site on which San
Francisco has been built. The impend-
ing final judgment on this claim by the
highest Federal Court, has intensified
this excitement to fever heat. The com
pany holding the claim is divided into
l 500 shares, most of which are held by
parties here, some in sums as high as
near $4,000 by single individual
These shares were sold originally at
So, 300 each, and previous to 1857 were
early sought after at that price. They
were prime collaterals in those days,
good for an advance of So, 800 per share,
at which figure numbers Of them were
hypothecated. The crash of 1857 con-
verted lenders on them into reluctant
owners, who still hold them. Since
that conversion they have been gradually
sinking in price, until they now COM
mand only about $500 per share. This
fall is the more remarkable, as in the in
terval two decisions have been had in
California confirming the clam. The
final argument has just been made at
Washington, and now all parties here
are on the qui rite for the grand result
which will make or break some of them.
The claim exceeds 1000 acres in extent,
embraces nearly the whole site of San
Francisco, stretches to the Pacific on the
west, the Bay of San Francisco on the
east, and some six miles south, taking
in vast number of what are now i'm
proved farms, besides thousands of costly
stores, dwellings, wharves, and other i'm
provements constituting the city. The
assessed value of the land is SIS, 600, 900.
All these numerous owners will be
ousted or compelled to buy their prop
erty a second time, if the Land Associa-
tion gain their cause. Such decision
will make the latter enormously rich,
while it will probably ruin thousands in
California If it go the other way, the
shares will be worthless, and with the
bursting of the great bubble, there will
undoubtedly be bursting of another
kind No wonder, then, that with such
an issue at stake ana on the polnL OF
being decided, there should be a futte1
here, where SO large an interest is held
Without doubt the suspense is equally
painful in California. But our Phila.
delphia holders are unshaken in theil
confidence of gaining their cause, al
leging that nothing has yet transpired
to weaken the evidence which, up tc
this time, has been good enough fo1
them.
