a writer at tna Arlington House, in 1851 asked
Mr.. Gustis il Washington could, like Marshal
SAKE, break horao-bloe, and tho reply was,
he lad 40 doubt he could had he tried, for his
hond5 were the largest and strongest he had
ever rceu, MIR. Cnh il then gave several instances
OF tho generals strength, of which he re-
calls tie following:
When Washington wss a young man, he was

sHowINd WHAT WILMINGTON MACHINE COULD DO

Some month ago, tho representative OF an ea-
tensye firm in this city WAS in Europe to sell its
various machinery, amongst others a machine
for grinding and polishing the chilled-iron lien.
der rolls used in paper-maklng, In the course
OF hts business tour through Germany he enter
ed tho Government shops ut Konigsbronn, In
WurtemOefg, and proposed to sell them one of
the machines above mentioned. His offer, how
ever was refused, the Superintendent saying
that they Lad their own appliance for the ppr-
pose which was entirely satisfactory. Well, asked
the Wllmir Etoniau, how rapidly does it perform
the worRE tie was answered that to dress up
aud polish calender roll required, with their
mgchlne, about twenty-one days. '.Now,n said
he, 81 will bring over my machine l will set it
mp ; will put il II calender roll which needs
oyerhauling, and will grind and polish it per
iectly, III siugle day, or will give yCu the ma
chine for nothing -
This was 20 astounding, and apparently so
wild an offer, that the German closed with it,
doubtless believing his visitor had been entirely
too rash. The order wss sent to Wilmington
for q machine, aud 1t was shipped, with work.

Eha Cunuisiua oR t.c Southern
lslnGtTs.

The miserable condition of the negroes in a
large part OF the Southern States and tho tor
rorism uuder which they live are not so well I'M
deratood at the North as tbey should be, but
sufficient light iB occasionally thrown on the sub
jecb by procedures in rho Southern courts to
show how very badly OF the negroes are In
tho late Georgia outrages," the negroes. after
undergoing fair and impartial trial, were di--
charged, absolutely nothing having been proved
against thehi. The WhiCo Leaguers get up
Stuiies OF oitTa" eJ on tho part Of the
cClUred people only Rs an excuse for out
RACES against them, and il ID worth while
observing that in the tronbles it il always
tho negroes who are kiiloj, ths whites coming
OF sGSthess. Ihs agents of the Associated
trass in the South are neGrophobists, and with
the White Leagners they send news to the North
ootOrsd to suit themselves, " horrible outrages
by tho negroes" forming always the story they
have to tell. This is the case in regard to the
massacre OF negroes in Mississippi on Saturday
last. concerning which the facts ars that at a
political meeting ar Cliuton the negroes were set
upon by the whites and bucchered right and
left. The accounts OF the aifah given by tho
Associated Press dealt very hardly with the col
ored men and very gently with the desperadoes
who attacked them. The whole truth will pro-
baby not be told until we have some observer to
do for the South what Mr.. Trench, in his Real
tiles Of Irish Life" has done for Ireland. Ger.
tainly no faith should be put in Associated Press

Ex-EOvernor seymour on tae Money

Ex Governor Seymour, of New York, has writ
ten letter on the money question to working
man in Pennsylvania, explaining the evils which
initiation brings to the laborug claes. He
writes:
81 Paper money is cheap, and makes society
drunk as liquor does an individual. Then comes
the reaction, the delirinm tremens. That is the
trouble now in our country. Business is checked
aud thousands of mechanics and laboring men
arc out of work aud suffering severely IN our
cities. Every one can see, If II few men had the
power to change the size OF bushel baskets Or
tho length OF yard-ticks when they pleased that
tho hhurers who buy would be losers. The
same thing il done in effect when the value OF
bank bills is changed, for they measure va.nea
Just as busbel baskets and yardstcks measure
quantities. There is no limit to the quantity of
paper which can be printed and called dollars !;
but they are not dollars. The laboring man II
ho tolls in field. or workshops should be paid
IN good money, not in money that is at dis
count. lie should got money that has fixed
and certain value. II others, acting upon the
government or by other means, can change the
valne OF paper dollars by getting eater guam
titles, the laborer will suffer both from poor
money and unsettled business. Ii may be said
the government must put ont a certain quantity
and then stop, but the history 1T ell nations
shows that they do hot stop putting out paper
