Rachelorisnn versus Mafri1laO ny.


The following contrast Of bachelorism and
matrmony is doubtless tic production OF
some ll-natured fellow who has received
mo" for an answer. 1t is quite clever IN
its way, though little too rough per
haps, on the divine institution 81 he poo'
bachelor, indeed Who is pctted to oeat0
by the ladies with manageable daughters
Invited to tea and evening parties, and too
to drop in Just when it is convenient? The
bachelor. Who lives in clover all his days,
and when he dies has flowers strewn on his
grave by the girls who could not entrap him ?
The bachelor. Who strewes flowers on the
married mans grave? His widow? Not 9
bit of it she pulls down the tombstone tina
a six weeks grief has set up in her hear,
and goes and gets married again-she dos
Who goes to bed because time hangs heNy
on his hands? The married man. Who
gets scolding for picking out the sotest
part of the bed, and for waking up the 'aby
when he turns out in the morning? The
married man. Who has wood to split,
house-hunting and marketing to d, the
young ones to wash and the lazy servants to
look after? The married man. W]o is ar
rested for whipping his wife? The married
man. Who gets divorced? The married
man. Finally, who has the scriptures on
his side? The bachelor. st. Pull knew
what he was talking about when lie said
He that marres does well he that narries
not, does better. -

FOUR O'CLOCK. p. M.

FRANCEi
Mn. EDIToR One of your morning cotempo-
rarios stated in Its soldiers column Of letters,
a few days since, that Washington was com.
missioncd Lieutenant General by the French
Government, so that he could command the
French aixiliaries under Count Rochambeau,
without infringing tho laws Of military etl-
quette. This has become very popular error
with many writer's on American history, but
It can be easily proved that the statement has
no foundation In fact, by the very best au-
thority, Washington himself
Rochambeau was Lieutenant General, and
to have been his superior, Washington should
have been commissioned Marshal. II seems
to have been prevalent idea at the time that
he was. Gordon, in his History Of the Ameri-
can Revolution, was the first writer that sane
toned IL. In his letter (hist orical) of August
q, 1880, he says, "that proprlety might exist
in reference 10 the intended aid from France,
when arrived. Gen. Washington has been ap-
pointed Lieutenant General Of his most Chris
tian maJesty's troops in America, and Vice
Admiral OF the White Flag" This is probably
the foundation for all the assertions on this
side of tho question.
Opposed to this is the statement OF Washing
ton himself. In a letter (January 81, 1885, }
