this sum, then unadjusted, is now sus-

portion of this balance is disallowed. and
what portion suspended, by the account
ing officers at Washington, as the "Dif-

siderable period of time to ascertain these

A Curious Custom.

Sir John Lubbock, in his recent work on
the Origin of Civilization" speaks Of q
curious custom, very csidel' spread among
savages of all nations, by which On The
birth of baby the father, and not the
mother, is put in bed and nursed like a
sick person for several weeks. This Gus
tom was almost universal among the In
disns of South America.
Dooritshoffer, the cid Jesuit missionary
to Paraguay, tells us that mo sooner
do you hear that a woman has borne
a child than you see the husband lying in
bed, huddled up with mats and skins, lest
some ruder breath of cir should touch him,
fasting, kept in private, AMI for number
of days abstaining religiously from certain
viands: you would swear it was he who had
had the child. | had read about this IN
old times, and laughed at it, never think
ing could believe such madness, and /
used to suspect that this barbarian custom
was related more in j IT than in earnest:
but at last saw it with my own eyes among
the Abipones."
Brett, In his account of the Indian
tribes of Guiana, says he cav a man whose
wife had lately been delivered, lying in a
hammock, wrapped up as II he were sick.
though really In the most robust health,
and carefully nursed by women, while the
mother of the newborn infant was en-
gagged in cooking and other work about
the hat.
Traces OF this custom were found in
Greenland, whete, after q woman is con-
fined, the husband must forbear working
for some weeks; and in Kauschatka, where
for soms time before the birth of baby
the husband must do no more hard work
Similar notions are found among the
Chinese, among the Dyaks Of borneo, ana
what is still stranger ~ that they exist TO
this day in Corsica, in ihe North Of Spain
and in the South of France, where the
custom is called fdire Ia couUdde. Max
Muller in his "Chips from German Work
shop" tries to account for 1T thus: 1T is
clear that the poor husband was at first
tyrannized over by his female relations,
and afterward frightened into superstition.
He then began to make martyr of
himself till he made himself really ill, or
took to his bed in self-defense. Strange
and absurd as the couUdde appears at first
sight, there is something in it with which.
we believe, most mother-iR-laws can SYM
pathize." Sir John Lubbock, however,
prefers to accept the Curb and Abipone
explanation, which is that they believe the
infant would be injured in some way If the
father engaged in any rough work or was
careless of his diet

HOUSES TO LET.

Over the roads with Fall rains wet,
To right, to left, ON either side,
see them standing-"Houses to let
Tiny houses, neat aud brown,
Every hedge tcreeDs one or more;
Their little owners have left the town,
And open wide is every door.
"Summer houses" they were, indeed
Roofiess, fireless, cold and bare;
None may hope in utmost need
To find "modern convenience" therei
Swinging from twigs by pendant thread,
Couched In cover that once were green,
Rocking in tree-tops overhead
There are the little houses seeH-
Once they were full OF happy Dfel
Busy builders all day long
Tw1ned the walls In loving strife.
And interwoye their threads with song.
Speckled eggs OF brown and blue;
CalIow chfrping, hungry broods;
Soft small wings, which all day few;
Quivering, emulous motherhoods-
All are gone The snow-fiakes white
Lie in place Of the nestliDgs flown;
Cold winds hsrbor day and night,
Tenants at will' Of the empty helne.
Tenants a while; but by aud by
April shall come. with balmy rain,

Houses shall be in demand again.

James Rutledge, centenarian Of this city.
We are pleased to learn to-day that he is

Rutledge is nearly one hundred and two
years old. His life has been an eventful
one. His father was member OF the
English Parliament during the period i'm
mediately preceding the revolution of the
American colonies. He was warm advo-
cate of the cause of the colonies, and made
very eloquent speech in Parliament in
their favor. For this speech his life was
attempted by q mob; and so great was the
excitement against him that he fed from
England and came to America Here be

army. He was as brave and noble maj

His son, now so old and feeble. is a mai

which he declined on account of his ex

He is now residing in this city, and
in rather destitute circumstances. As "
stated yesterday, he has been Maste
