Dc KnIh nn Washington.

Prof. Greene i'll the Atlantic Monthly for
October.
ale Washington is the most amia-
BILE, kind-hearted and upwright of men,
but as General he is too indolent, too
slow, and lar too weak; besides he has a
tinge of vanity in his composition and
overestimates himself In my opinion,
whatever success he may have will be
owing to good luck and to the blunders
of his adversares, rather than to his abil.
tiles. | may even say that he does not
know how to improve upon the grossest
blunders of the enemy. He has not yet
overcome his old prejudices against the
French This language sounds strange
ly as applied to Washington.
a few weeks later his De kalb's)
opinion is materially modified. ale is
the bravcst and truest of men" he writes;
"has the best intentions and sound
Judgment. | am convinced that he
would accomplish substantial results II
he would only act more upon his own
responsibility; but 1t is u pity that he Is
so weak, and has the worst of advisers IN
the men who enjoy his confidence" lie
has already written; at is unfortunate
that Washington Is so easily led" This
is nearly the language Of Lee and Reed a
year before. They had all mistaken for
want of decision the selt-distrust which
arose from Il consciousness of. ineXpe-
rience. 1t was not long before De kalbs
opinion was still further modified: ale
must be u very modest man > He did
and does more every day than could be
expected from any General in the world
in the same circumstances, and |
think him the only proper person " by
his natural and acquired capacity, his
bravery, good sense, uprightness and hon
esty to keep up the spirits of the army
and people; and' look upon him as
the sole defender of his country's cause.
Thus much thought myself obliged to
say on that head. | could only wish in
my private opinion he would take more
upon himself, and trust mere to his own
excellent judgment than to councils

Come First Served, the Brides
TheOry-PIsIOIs. &c.
Holt County, Mo, Sentinel.

Holt County, Mo-, Sentinel.
An uncommon wedding scene was en-
acted in Holt County, last Tuesday, not
far from Oregon.
Miss Alice Carson, a young lady, 1t
seems, divided her attentions between
two Young men, Mr. kretzer,' of
Holt, and a Mr. Wheeler of AtchiSon
County. Both KrctZer and Wheeler
were fatally enamored and asked for the
hand of Miss Alice. Both were accepted
and the wedding day set for each on the
same day, though neither knew OF the
others standing.
Wheeler engaged a Methodist local
minister, Mr.. Callen, to tie the knot, and
Krctzer procured the service of the more
Identified Rev. Mr.. Edmond. Wheeler
and Callen arrived first and the knot
was tied, Miss Alice becoming Mrs
Wheeler. The ceremony was hardly
well over when. kretZe and EdmondS
drove up. Imagine their establishment
when they learned that Alice WAS Ill
ready married TO Wheeler. An 'c1ph-
nation was demanded by kretzcr. Wheel
rr couldn't see the necessity OF his BRIDE
making explanations to any former toV-
err. and put his foot down very perem-
toriIv. Wheeler Immediately flew oil
the hsndle-high words ensued, pistols
were brandishcd, and there was appa-
rcntlv some danger of a dead.bridegroom
grazing the occasion, in which event we
have no doubt the virgin widow would
have promtly accepted the surviving low
or. But no blood was spilled, the parties
separating without any specific under
standing upon social affairs.

Jcwelrv like all other braL Ches of toilet

and the vagarics OF fashion. The red

per, with tenth of silver for working,
whilst the second is an alloy of gold, sill

necklaces will be much worn. This is
made of either the red or yellow gold, and
IL in some cases composed OF alternate
pieces of gold and platina-a material
which is largely used nowadays in the
manufacture OF ladies goods. Bracelets
will be worn very narrow, and in form
will be square edged, round, oval or half
oval, while necklaces are made with pen
dants of facetcd balls and crosses
These and the bracelets are made IN
either Elruscan yellow or red gold with
platina links. Chateaines of gold in
Etruscan, variously ornamented in Jap
anese and other styles work, including
red gold perforated work, and watches to

will be worn larger in size, and are like
all other jewelry of the period, facctcd

The Losses at GaIveston-A blessing

Galveston Correspondence New UrIca
Bulletin.

Galveston Correspondence New orleans
Bulletin.
l have been all over the city, carefully
surveyed the property injured and de-
stroyed, and have COnverSed with many
of the prominent citizens OF the place
regarding the same, and according to
thier and my computation the pecuniary
losses sustained by Galveston will not eX-
coed Sl000OO-something different from
four and five millions.
The late storm WILL no doubt, prove of
incalculable benefit to Galveston. If the
lesson is read Alright. 1t will teach her
people that in their efforts to raise the
Grade of the city they have removed the
barriers that nature had erected on the
beach, and which were their great pro
lection against the nrOads OF the water
of the Gulf. Four years ago General
Beaurcgard submitted a plan Tor the I'M
provement and Seculty OF the Island City.
Most of the features of this plan were
adopted, but the powers that were very
iniudiciouslv reduced the height of the
projected grade by six inches. Had these
six inches been allowed many of the
streets.which were overlooking during
the late. Storm would have been left high
and dry.
In raising the level of the city some
four feet, agreeably to Gen. B's plan, the
succession of sand Mills which had pro-
tected the city against the waters Of the
Gulf had been removed, and carried up
into the principal portions of the city
This gave an unrestricted sweep to the
wind and waves, and caused the recent
disaster. 1t strikes me that the authori-
ties would have acted wisely had they
constructed cheap horse railroad eX-
tending to the western end Of the island,
and obtained thence the requisite sand
for fliiEg their streets.

"Scribbler" intended the tedious COM

anything to injure her interests. We
regret that its publication bas caused
any feeling, as nothing is farther from

should be done here, where the paper
