MARTHA WAsHINGToN's WATCH.

The "Father of his Country" had
a couple Of Glove affairs" The first
was with Miss Mary Phillips, a
daughter of the owner of the Phil
lips estate in Winchester and Put
nam counties. With the graces of
that lady he was almost lncurably
smitten, and tradition AYERS that
George IL. as he is profanely called
-"sat up" with his ''girl' all night
occasionally. But, in the modern
phrase, Mary couldn't see it," and
gave George the mitten some time in
the year 1856. In 1853 he met wild
ow Curtis, and not being favored at
that time with the advice Of the ell
der Mr.. Samuel Weller, he neglected
to "beware" of that dangerous vari-
ETY. of sex, fell over head and ears in
love with Miss Curtis, successfully
"sparked" her, and in due course Of
time married her. His old flame,
Miss Phillips, became the wife of
Roger Morris. Georges wedding
occurred in 1859. After the betroth-
al of George to Martha, he presented
his lady-love with handsome gold
watch, which was manufactured ex-
pressly to his order in London.
This watch is now in Newburg.
and an effort is being made by the cit
liens to purchase the interesting old
relic and deposit it at Washington's
headquarters at that city. The price
asked for it is only $1,000. 1t was
given by Mrs. Washington to Mrs.
Halliburton, her niece, and the moth
or of Judge James D. Halliburton, of
Virginia. The saddest part of it's
history is that it is now thrown on
the market for sale, as one of the for
tunes of our late war, which strip
ped SO many of our Southern coun-
trymen of their possessions. The
watch is in its original case and ac-
companied by it's original key. The
letters of the name "Martha Curtis"
are marked on the dial plate, one let
ter just outside of each of the figures
indicating the hours.
The watch is now 1l2 years old.
A day or two ago it was wound
p,and licked as Of Eye olden times"
but it marked the hours slowly, re-
one of a brave old heart
beating on beyond its three score and
ten. --NetC York Herald.

UNWRITTEN LAW.
From thh Chicago Post.

The unwritten law governing the
relations OF the sexes was the basis
of a recent decision of court in the
State of New York. A railroad man
had lived with q woman five or six
years, always introducing her to his
friends as his wife. A child was
born of the union, the paternity of
which was acknowledged, and every
thing indicated that the relation was
based on marriage. When the
scoundrel was tired of her, he cast
her off upon the pretense that they
had never been united according to
the forms of law, and that she was
in reality nothing more than his
mistress. A hotel-keeper, in whose
house she had, after the separation,
been placed by her friends to board,
sued the reputed husband for her
bill and the defense was that he
was not responsible because of lack
of marriage. The Court, however,
held that the acknowledgment of
the maintenance of the relation Gre
ated by marriage, for so long time,
was OF itself sufficient, that, to all in
tents and purposes, valid marriage
existed, and that judgment must be
given for the plaintiff.
This is one of the many decisions
Of the civil courts in various States
of the Union, in which this doctrine
is maintained. 1t is only an AFR
nation that a man cannot eat his
cake and have it too-cannot be
married and unmarried at the same
time-and there must be protection
against the wretches who are dis
posed to tho double villainy Of be-
trayiug women and imposing upon
the public. The wholesomeness of
this ruling will, by and by, be felt in
the increasing danger, which, as the
unwritten law is better understood
by women subject to betrayal and
abandonment. will lie in the sedu-
GERS path. The press can do no
better service to public morals than
to give all these cases deserved pub
licitV.

Making Soap.

Every farmer wife, says the Ohio
Farmer, is proud of barrel of soap
but some are so unfortunate as to
never get one. They try hard
enough, but the ashes are sometimes
poor, or the right proportions of lye
and grease are not used at other
times the soap appears to be good
when put up, but changes entirely
after standing few days. Tho last
trouble usually arises from getting
the soap too strong and diluting with
water. If very strong, it will be
thin and dark, and, by adding cold
water and thoroughly stirring, the
color is changed many shades light
er, and the mass thickened, giving
1T the appearance of a number one
article, when in reality it is very
poor.
Hickory ashes are the best for
soap-making, but those from sound
beech, maple, or almost any kind of
hard wood, save oak, will answer
well. A common barrel set upon an
inclined platform, makes very good
leach, but | much prefer one made of
boards set in trough in V shape, for
the strength of the ashes is better OBJ
tanned, and it may be taken to pieces
when not in use and laid up.
First, in the bottom of the leach
put few sticks over them spread
a piece Of carpet or wooden cloth,
which is much better than straw
put on few inches of ashes, and
from four to eight quarts of lime ; fill
with ashes, moistened, and lamp
down well-tamp the firmest in the
center. 1t is difficult to obtain the
full strength of ashes in barrel
without removing them after days
teaching, and mixing them up and
replacing. The top should be first
thrown off and new ashes added to
make up the proper quantity. Use
boiling water for second teaching.
Take about four gallons Of lye,
and boil up thoroughly with twelve
pounds of clear grease; then add the
lye as it is obtained, keeping a slow
fire, and stirring often, until you
have barrel of soap. After boiling
the grease and four gallons of I've
together, it may be put in a barrel
and the I've added there, which will
form good soap if frequently stirred
but the heating process is the best
when weather and time will permit
the work TO be done.

A MURDERoUs SEA FLowER.-One
of the exquisite wonders of the sea is
called the opelet, and is about as
large as the German aster, looking
indeed, very much like one. Imag-
inc very large double aster with
ever SO many long petals of a light
green, glossy as satin, and each one
tipped with rose color. These lovely
petals do not lie quietly in their
places like those Of the aster in your
garden, but wave about in the water;
while the opelet generally clings to
q rock. How innocent and lovely it
looks on its rocky bed Who would
suspect that it could eat anything
grosser than dew or sunshine But
those beautiful waying arms, as you
call them, have another use besides
looking pretty. They have to pro-
vide food for large, open mouth,
which is hidden deep down among
them--so well hidden that one can
scarcely find it. Well do they per-
form their duty, for the instant that
foolish little fishlet touches one of
the rosy tips he is struck with poison
as fatal to him as lightning. lie
Immediately becomes numb, and In a
moment stops struggling, and then
the other beautiful arms wrap them
selves around him and he is drawn
into the huge, greedy mouth, and is
seen no more. Then the lovely arms
unclose and wave again in the water,
looking as innocent and harmless as
though they had never touched a
fish.-Scientifc american.

REPUBLICAN ECoNoMY.-The finan-
cial record of Michigan is another in
stance Of Republican economy in the
administration of State and National
affairs. The debt of the State reach
ed its maximum of So, $50, 921.05 on
September l, 1866, when all the war
loans had been made, but since that
time it has steadily decreased. The
net ostensible decrease of the debt
since January l, 1867, is 1881, $751;
05. There has been actually this
much of the debt paid, although the
debt to the Trust Funds, on which
the state is required. to pay interest
only, should in fairness be deducated,
making the net decrease not far from
half million dollars. In Michigan,
as in Pennsylvania, a Republican Ad-
ministration applies the State reve-
nues to the reduction of its debt and
the consequent tightening of the bur-
den Of taxation.

Religious Aspect of the War-0pinion
of Bishop Simpson.

In sermon preached lately at
Elmira, Bishop Simpson said:
Scarcely had the smoke Of our
battle field cleared away before the
terrible war between Prussia and
Austria began. Austria, at this
time, was the great Papal Power.
In very short period so much of
Germany as Austria included was
conquered and joined to Prussia,
and freedom of conscience was
vouchsafed to the people. l had an
illustration of the effects of this
struggle few weeks ago, while in
Europe. In speaking about sending
missionaries to any quarter it was
always said, "you can send them
there, because it is part of Prussia. 4"
There is not q man in the whole
world who is greater friend of
Christianity than Bismarck.
Every single application which
has been made to Bismarck he has
immediately authorized religious
freedom. Do we not see God moving
in these things, and His stately step
pings among the nations of the
earth =? The Bible is now scattered
all through Austria, and Christian
missionaries can go anywhere in that
country without molestation,
II seems strange that as soon as
the great Council declared the Pope
infallible that struggle between
France and Prussia should have be-
gun. The very week they made the
proclamation, like thunder from a
clear sky came the proclamation of
war, and France, strange enough.
declared it was a war between Prot
estantism and Catholicism-that it
was time to stay the Protestant re-
ligion.

R@~ Within q twelvemonth after
the close of the Prusso-Austrian
war of 1866, there were over 800
different histories Of the war, and
books about it, published in Ger
many. We see by German literary
journals that small army of his
torians and military critics has al
ready begun the work of writing up
the history of the Prusso-French
war of 1870. If the advance of
the Prussian arms be as rapid
during the next few weeks as it has
been withinithe last month, the Ger
man historians will be also able to
furnish complete histories of the war
in;time for the fall trane.

JOSH BILLINGS AT LONG BRANCH.
The biggest thing they have got
here at present il the pool of water
in front of the hotels. This pool il
sed, bi good judges, to be three thou
sand miles in length, and in some
places five miles in thickness. Into
this pool every day, at ten o'clock,
the folks all retire-male and female
-widders promiskus. They dress
in flannel attire, ov meny colors,
and look as nearly alike, when they
are in the pool, az flock of ducks
and brakes. The water in this pool
haz stood so long it haz got salty,
and ought to be changed.

NATURAL GAs.-There are many
towns in the United States in part
or wholly lit by gas obtained directly
from subterranean sources but Erie,
Penn, is favored with 80 large a sup
ply that it is now used to obtain heat
for mechanical and manufacturing
purposes. All that is necessary is
to bore down and sink tube four or
five hundred feet, and a permanent
flow of gas comes rushing up through
it. One we'll thus sunk eight years
ago has produced ever since without
intermission, the flow seeming rath-
err 10 increase than diminish. A brass
foundry and soap works have also
been using as fuel the gas from anoth-
or we'll for long period. The most
recent well sunk, supplies gristmill
with abundant fuel to run four stones
tho proprietors say they can run
six with it, night and day ; equiva-
lent to more than $500 worth of coal
per month. All it costs them is the
original expense of the we'll and tube,
about 81 500. Erie may nevertheless
be a poor place to start gas COM
pany there would be no satisfaction
in cutting off the supply of a nom
paying customer, when he could at
any time supply himself by sinking
o tube in his garden.

a@ Goldsmith's Natural History

k6~ Goldsmlth'6 Natural History,
at one time very popular school
book, constants many amusing errors.
Thus, it states that the ostrich lays
her eggs in the sand, and leaves
them to be Matched by the heat of
the sun. The Acclimatization Socie-
ty, of Australia. hewever, alleges
that this statement is untrue. A
flock of ostriches was sent up the
county by the Society, and placed
under the charge of an inquistive
and geological squatter. The guar
dian reports that the ostriches have
formed nests, in one Of which twelve
young birds were Matched During
the period of incubation, about six
weeks, the male and female sit upon
the nest by turns, both being seldom
absent at the same time. The nest
is built in a sandy hollow, without
grass or rubbish, and the eggs are
entirely without cover.
