ARevolutionary Reminiscence.

The following letter from General Wash.
ington has seldom been seen, but may be
read with profit, if not pleasure, by many
who never due on less than five or six
courses, served on silver:
WEST POINT, Aug. Is, 1899.
DEAR DoCToR: | have asked Mrs.
Cochran and Mrs. Livingston to dine with
me Tomorrow, and ought T not to apprise
you of their fare? As | hate deception,
even when Imagination is concerned, I will.
1t is needless to premise that my table is
large enough to hold the ladies. OF this
they had ocular demonstration yesterday.
TO say how it is usually covered is rather
more essential-and this is the purport oil
my letter. Since my arrival at this happy
spot We have had ham, sometimes q
shoulder of bacon, to grace the head of the
table; q piece of roast beef adorns the foot,
and small dish Of green beans, almost i'm,
perceptible, decorates the centre. When
the cook has q mind to cut fgure-and
this / presume he will attempt tomorrow
we have two beefsteak pies or dishes OF
crabs, in addition, one on each side of the
centre dish, dividing the space and reduc.
ing the distance between dish and dish to
about six feet = which, without them,
would be twelve feet apart. OF late he has
had the surprising luck to discover that
apples will make pies and it is question
il, amidst the violence of bis forts, we do
not get one of the apples, instead of hav-
ing both Of beef. Ii the ladies can put up
with such entertainments, and submit to
partake Of it On plates once tin, but now
iron, and not become so by the labor oil
securing, shall be happy to see them.
Dear sir, yours,
GEORGE WASHINGTON.

addressing a temperance meeting at
Georgetown, District of Columbia, and de.
picting the miseries caused by too freely in
dulging in the flowing bowl, his attention
was attracted by the sobs of disconso-
late and seedy- looking individual, seated in

him and interrogating him the Governor
was told the usual tale of woe ; among 9th.

his power. Said he, The Lord has deeply
afflicted you" T" Yes, he has" and,

continued, but I don t think the Lord

WHAT HEN CAN Do.-An exchange
says that hen has the capacity of laying
six hundred eggs, and no more. Usually
they lay few the first year; from three
hundred and twenty to three hundred and
seventy IN the next three years; and the
rest from the fifth to the ninth year, inclu-
siye. True economy is not to keep hens
after their fourth year.

grown more and more to each other. Next
to her father and mother, she loved and
reyerenced me; and /. from feeling that
she did so, loved her with a protecting

and made me live frcsher aud brighter
life than had hoped to lead when went
to Silverton. But Beatrice was growing
up; she had changed from the child to the
woman; and though to me she was ever
the same in her innocent simplicity, felt
that it could not be always so, that time
must come when we should be man and
woman, and something of our sweet inter
course would be rubbed of by the world 8

shall be called. AS far as our own
State is concerned, it will be an easy
matter, if the Democracy will set to
work in earnest. By following the
(plan we indicated in our last, crery
achite man in the State can be brought to
the polls. Notwithstanding the adop-
ton of the Constitutional Amendment,
which only prohibits certain classes
from holding offices, State or Federal,
every white man can qualify himself
to vote under the new Constitution
IF this be done land it mast be dohe)
there will be but little disparity be-
tween the white and ,colored vote in
the State. Moreover, our people must
set to work and explain to the colored
voters that their true interest lies in
allying themselves with their Southern
friends, and cutting loose from the
Radical carpet-baggers, who have so
often deceived them. By this means a
large portion of the co1ored vote can
be secured, as has been done recently
by our friends in South Carolina and
Mississippi. Ne time must be lost
In the next four months we have an
immense amount of work to do, and if
done faithfully, it will be crowned with
complete success.

THE MAILS,

Since the departure of the Lafourche
from our trade, we miss her regularity
in many respects, but more particular
ly are we sorely afflicted In the depri-
walton of our regular Wednesday night
mails, which never failed during the
season. We are again thrown back on
the tender mercies OF the stage mana
gers between this point and the Mouth
of the River. The New Orleans mails
of Tuesdays are regularly shipped on
board the steamer Gov. Allen and reach
the Mouth about eleven o'clock on
Wednesdays; still said mails never
reach Alexandria till Saturdays, thus
lying at the Mouth forty-eight hours.
For this there is no excuse, no paliation,
but headstrong, uncouth and perverse
determination to twart the public inter-
ests and be as unaccomodating as pos
sible, and laugh at the public with i'm
punity. 1t appears, through the ignor-
ance and thick-skulled insanity of the
Post Masters and managers, who un-
fortunately for a swindled public, have
the control of this important matter,
that the schedule time of leaving the
Mouth is fixed at o'clock in the morn
ing of the departing days, while three
hours later, would suit as well and
make the connection with the Allen.
But that hour has been fixed by these
internal "phools" and all creation can.
not thump it out of their thick skulls
and idiotic intellects. They leave at
that hour and rush up to Alexandria in
railroad time, without the mails, and
then lie here eight hours at least, before
they leave with the down mails. This
seems to be fine sport for the enter
prising concern and they laugh to
scorn the public and their material in
terests. 1t does seem to us it is about
time that j. B. Price, the contractor,
who is a gentleman of good, practical
sense and knows right from wrong in
this importont matter, should turn a
little of his attention to this mail nuis-
ance and come to the relief of long
suffering people. The change is so
easily remedied, that we are surprised
it should be so continued and so long
grossly neglected.
In the name of a suffering communi.
ty, long and patient in their endurance
of this accursed and long tolerated evil,
we ask J. B. Price to see to it and to
see to it at once. He cannot, on a
twelve months effort, do a moro good
or noble deed.
