Westinghouse most intimate friend
was French gentleman, named Marcus
Dee, who, from his constant habits OF
visibility, was nicknamed s'Laighyyet. u
His greatest victory was achieved at
Germantown, where, coming upon the
British in the night, he completely sur
rounded them with a wall of cotton
bales, from which he opened destruc-
tive fire, which soon caused the enemy
to capitulate. The cotton bales being
perforated with muskets balls were
much increased in weight, and conse-
quently in value, and the expression,
playfulIy used, 'sWhat is the price OF
cotton?" was much in vogue after the
battle. 80 ursa
During the action, Washington might
have been seen driving up and down the
lines, exposed to a deadly fire, in q
small Concord wagon, drawn by bob
tailed gray horse. His celebrated des-
patch, ''Teni, ridi, vici, " or, Icame and
saw in a Concord wagon, his reference
to this circumstance.
Washington was a member of the
Know Nothing Order. and directed that
none but Americans should be put on
guard, which greatly annoyed the
Americans, their comfort being entirely
destroyed by perpetual turns of guard
duty srles,- 80

The Life of Washington.

In the "Squibob Papers," published
by Carleton of New York, is one of the
most extrayagant specimens of John
Phoenix's humor. Here is specimen
of it: eh S.
George Washington was one of the
most distinguished movers In the Amer
lean Revolution.
He was born of poor but of honest
parents, at Genoa, in the year 1892.
His mother was called the mother of
Washington. He married, early In life,
a widow lady, Mrs. Martha Gusts,
whom Prescott describes as the cussid-
est pretty woman south of Mason and
Dixon's line. Young Washington com
men ced business as county surveyor,
and was present in that capacity at a
sham fight, under General Braddock,
when so many guns were fired that the
whole body militia were stunned by the
explosion, and sat down to supper una
bic to hear word that was said. This
supper was afterwards alluded to as
Braddock's deaf eat, and the similee deaf
as Braddock, subsequently vulgarized
into 'tdeaf as haddoek," had its rise
from that circumstance. Washington
commanded several troops during the
Revolutionary war, and distinguished
himself by fearlessly crossing the Dele
ware on ice of very inadequate thickness,
to visit family of Hessians of his ac-
quaintance. He was passionately fond
of green peas and string beans; and his

A Boston Merchant Marries a New York
Waiter Girl.

The New York corr6 spondent of the
Indianapolis Journal tells the follow
ing: hH gTe ss &
This subject reminds me of an sun
fortunate accident" that occurred here
recently, to an eminentlysrespectable and
prosperous merchant from Boston, who,
though a man of family and entirely
correct in his habits, allowed himself so
much license in New York as to become
intoxicated, and visit the pretty waiter
girl saloons ON Broadway. While there,
Baechus conspiring with Venus, he be-
come enamored of one of, the unchaste
nymphs of the establishment, and made
desperate love to her. She stood upon
a moral pedestal, and refused to listen
to his wooing unless he would wed her.
The merchant, intoxicated as much with
passion as with liquor, consented to be
married, and in brief while a magis-
trate was present who made the two
man and wife so far as the law goes.
IN the morning the Bostonian awoke
with violent headache, and entirely
oblivious of the proceedings of the night
previous. Imagine his horror, then, at
the announcement from the girl that he
was her husband, and the pleasant state
of his feelings, when he thought of Mrs.
Smith and the four children in Bacon
street, thus suddenly deprived of their
natural protector.
The merchant declared the statement
untrue; but the production of the GER
tifcate compelled him to believe the
evidence of his own senses. He had no
other recourse but to compromise the
matter, and he did so by paying So. 500
for his emancipation.
Mr.. Smith returned to Boston by the
first train on that eventful day, a more
welded and wiser man, and it is to be
hoped that his recent experience will
teach him hereafter on coming to the
city to avoid the temptations and dam
gers of the metropolis. There is an
old saying that ''nO one is safe in a
large town." and the truth of the re-
mark is often corroborated by the in
exorable logic of events.

nifcant signs of the growth and pros

her merchants. No city in the Union
can show a more successful list of mer-
chants than our own. We have had less
failures in business than any city within
our knowledge. Now this proves that
our merchants conduct their affairs up
on sound commercial principles. AS an
instance of rare success in business, we
may mention the house of S. KIAUBER
& Co., successors to the popular firm of
j. L. DAVIS d Co. We do not know
but that it would be going beyond the
bounds of propriety TO give the amount
of their retail sales, but are confident
that no house in Chicago or st. Louis
will exceed them. They have only been
in business since February last, but
their sales are twenty-five per cent.
greater than they anticipated. They
keep an immense stock, and always let
the people know where they are and

Discovery OF the Ruins Of an Ancient
City In Mexico.

A correspondent of the New York
World writing from Havana under date
of the 9Th inst, says:
BY letters and papers last received
from Mexico, it appears that the ruins
of an ancient city have been discovered
buried in an immense and an almost
impenetrable forest in the vicinity of
'Ilco" and the direction of "Huaucbi-
Mango" The particulars, very imper-
fectly given, j take from the Dario de
La Marina, purporting to the extracts
from Tulancingo dates, July 9Th.
The authorities of Huauchinango, ac-
companied by various neighbors, went
to give Judicial possession of rancho,
or farm, to the last purchaser, and dur
ing their investigation, attention was
drawn to the bounds or limits of the an
cient deed, limits on the north and
east of the city "H, +" where the party
were In accord, that there. was dense
forest in which none of them had ever
entered for the reason that 1T was closed
up by infinite distinctions. The ac-
cumulations of wild forest growth and
decomposition for ages presume, and
in the progress of the investigation it
was determined to institute search of
the forest, which seems to make the
northern and eastern bounds. They
forced an entrance with much labor,
and discovered vestiges of streets,
which were followed until the dis
covery of two houses of rather singular
construction, covered with triangular
vaulted, or arched roofs, one of which
was entered, when they discovered an
extensive court, and in it many stone
idols, which were carried to Huauchi-
mango. They found passages crossing In
every direction; but many of the doors
or entrances were stopped up with
stones, tapia, and mud mortar, SO that
when they wished to leave, the various
parts which they had separated in the
course of the investigation, it was found
necessary to fire pistols and to shout in
loud voice, in order to get together
again. Some of the parties report hav-
ing found the ruins of stone columns
and stone stairs, leading to a high
place, which, when struck, gave evil
dence of vaults below.
The project of Huauchinango has or
dered a more extensive examination
with men properly provided with the
implements necessary for the work,
and he has also reported to the emper-
or the various incidents of the discoy-
cry. The Indians in the vicinity, who
have concealed their knowledge of the
ruins and the history, if they have it,
say, s'they ought not to say anything
of them and much less to penetrate into
mysteries of the forest, for it had been
proved that all who had entered there
had become enchanted. Those who
had lost cattle or sheep, in searching
for them in these woods, had become
lost in the intricate labyrinth, and had
persisted,

We have taken the trouble to look
through their fall goods. They have
four floors OF 40x100, packed with all
that is desirable for the season. In
fannels, blankets, wooden goods, shawls,
cloths and domestics, their stock is i'm

Der of the firm in this city, is not only
a good merchant, but he has won high
place in our community as gentleman
and citizen. We trust the example Of
his success, and the success OF all our
merchants, will bring into our midst
more of the same enterprising charac-
ter, and always stand as a guaranty to
the people of the State that business is
done in Milwaukee ON sound and just
principles. --Ifil,coukee Daily Wisconsin,.
