tenerals Washington and Lee.

An exchange brings out a little romance connected with the "Father of his Country" It states that the grandfather of the present General Robert k. Lee was rival Of Gen. eral Washington in 9 love affair. The object of their affection was beautiful Miss Grimes, the first love of Washington, whom he celebrated as the 'lowland beauty" Lee was successful and bore off the prize. The son of this marriage, "Light Horse" Harry Lee, was always held in great friendship by Washington, and those acquainted with the great mans early history were of opinion that tender memory of the mother was not without its influence in relation to the son. The friendship continued until death. Major General Lee was gallant officer of the Revolution, and author of several military works. He had been Governor of Virginia, and was a member of Congress when Washington died. That body appointed him to deliver the eulogy on the occasion, in which occurred the memorable words "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."

THE DIFFERENCE FOR SAMBo.-Mr. Oliphant, an Englishman, who has written some true and many amusing things about the events of our civil war, shows the na- ture of the change wrought in the condition of the negro, by the following anecdote:
 "I invariably asked every negro l conversed with, whether he thought him. self better or worse off than formerly, and as invariably received for answer, that he was in some respects better, and in some worse. One fellow on board steamer illustrated the difference, thus: If, when was slave, had tumbled overheard, the boat would have been stopped, I should have been picked up and put by the fire to dry, because I was property, and then given hundred lashes for falling overheard. But now, if I fall overheard, Oh it is only cursed nigger, go ahead, and should never be picked up at all. In word, the negro used to be dog with master, now he is dog without one"

CIRCULATING IN MULEs--An anu sing story is told of "Rocky" Thomas, who enjoys quite notoriety on the plains for his genial nature and sparkling wit. "Rocky' served for seven years in--th regiment, United States army, with the rank of sergeant.
 While his regiment was stationed in Texas, several years ago, Sergeant Rocky had charge of corral. One morning two mules were found dead, which fact was promptly reported to the colonel, who gave the laconic order, 'Drag them out" which was forthwith done. It occurred to Rocky that if the mules were dragged back into tho enclosure that night, he could remove and sell two mules, and report "two mules, dead," as he had done previously. The mules were accordingly drawn back, and other mules sold, and the morning report, 1.-two mules dead,'' evoked the same order .--"Drag them out"
 The ruse was practiced several success sive nights, until the colonePs suspicious were aroused that something was wrong, and he determined to keep watch the fol- lowing night. About midnight he espied from his office window the enterprising Rocky in the act of drawing the veritable mules into the corral He raised the win dow and shouted
 Sergeant, you had better get fresh mules-those are about worn out!'
 Rocky" quit his mule speculations, and served brief time in the guard house.

SOUTHERN PosTMAsTERs' INDEBTED NEss.-The Government is preparing to proceed against the delinquent Southern postmasters appointed prior to 1861. The total indebtedness of this class of persons is about S300,000, of which S100,000 has been paid on demand, and nearly the same amount put in process of collection. The general defense set up by such postmasters is that they should be credited with the stamps which they turned over to the Confederate Government. Mir. Cohen, of Savannah, member elect to the House of Representatives, claims over five thousand dollars, and Mir. Galloway of Memphis over nine thousand dollars. The post master at Mobile has paid over twelve thousand dollars under protest, intending to institute suit for its recovery.

WAR UPON THE NEwsPAPERs-The Austrian Commander-in-C Chief has com menced his campaign by a blow in advance against the press, whose representations he will not tolerate in his army. This is bad augury for Austria. Our experience in the late war proved that those commanders who were distinguished for their war against the newspapers were celebrated for nothing else, and under their manage ment we had always defeat and disaster -[Cincinnati Enquirer.

 And dream about it nights. The darlings all strive very hard
 To wear the biggest rats, Ani now the size has grown SO great You cen must call them cats. Asmall fish-net well stuffed with hair Hangs gracefully OCT the back, Resembling tits so very large)
 A travelling peddlcr's pack. . I can't conceive what good they arc, But twill not do to lag The waterfalls absolute
 Hang out the pudding bag You have to look three times to sec The bonnets for the Fall, And then you must look quite sharp, They arc so very small. And if you have one in your hand, However much inclined, I'll bet you can't tell what parts ''front, !" And which shall go behind. The monstrous 'hoops" arc growing less Let's thank our stars for that Perhaps another year will see
 The last of "mouse" and "rat." Let those who stick to good old ways Be patient yet awhile, And pretty soon they'll find themselves Right in the "latest style"

Manufacture Of Matches.

A match factory in Western New York
is noted for the curious machinery used in
the manufacture. Seven hundred and
twenty thousand feet Of pine Of the best
quality are used annually for the matches,
and four hundred thousand feet Of bass
wood for cases. The sulphur used annu-
ally for the matches ia four hundred bar
rels, and the phosphorus is nine thousand
six hundred pounds. The machines run
night and day, and three hundred hands
are employed at the works. Five hundred
pounds Of paper per day are used to make
the light small boxes for holding the
matches, and four tons Of p%asteboard per
week for the larger boxes. Sixty-six
pounds Of -four per day are used for paste,
and the penny stamps required by Gov
eminent on the boxes amount to the snug
title sum of Sl,44o per day.
There are four machines in use for cut
ting. dipping and delivering the matches.
The two-inch pine plank is sawed up to
the length of the match, which is % ms.
These 90 into the machine for. cutting.
where a, every stroke - matches are cut,
and by the Succeeding stroke pushed into
stats arranged on a double chain 260 feet
long. which carries them 10 the sulphur
vat, and from thence to the phosphorus
vat, and thus across the room and back.
returning them at a point just in front Of
the cutting machine, and where they are
delivered in their natural order and are
gathered up by a boy into trays and sent
to the packing o Thus 1000 gross,
or $4,000 small boxes of matches are
made per day. The machines for making
the small, thin paper boxes and their COW
ers are quite as wonderful and ingeniously
contrived as those that make the matches.
A long coil Of paper, as wide as the boxis
long. Ievolves on a wheel, one end being
in the machine. 1t first passes through
rollers, where the printing is done |; from
thence to the paste boxes, where the sides
and ends only are pasted ; from thence to
the folding apparatus, where the ends are
nicely folded and the whole box is pasted
together and dropped into q basket. A
similar machine is at work at the covers,
and thus $4,000 boxes per day are manu-
featured.

FROM, PORTLAND, ME.

PORTLAND, June 22.-The Village
National Bank, of Boudainham, was
robbed last night by party of rob-
bers, who followed the cashier home,
gagged his family, and placed a guard
over them The robbers then took
the cashier back to the bank; and,
after robbing the vaults of their con
tents, amounting to about $67 900,
they locked him into the vault, and
made their escape with their plunder.
They have been tracked to Topsham,
and it is supposed they are now max
ing for Canada.
