The other morning as the conduc-

was passing around after tickets, he
came to man who waved him away
with very important air, at the same
time remarking, "Pass on, sir; pass on.
" I want your ticker" replied the con-
ductor. "Ticket, you hireling of

his cheeks, "Sir, own this road!

OLD CHRIST CHURCH.

PRESIDENT WAsHINGToN's LEvEE. "A
reception by the first President is de-
scribed in Mr.. Scudder's "Men and
Manners as follows: "At three
o'clock the visitor was introduced to
the dining room, from which all seats
had been removed for the time. On en-
te-ing, he saw the tall, manly figure OF
Washington clad in black silk velvet,
his hair in full dress. powdered and
gathered behind in a large silk bag;
yellow gloves on his hands, holding a
cooked hat with a black cockade in it,
and the edges adorned with black
feather about an inch deep. He wore
knee and shoe buckles and long
sword. He stood always in front of the
fireplace, with his face toward the door
of entrance. The visitor was conducted
to him and his name distinctly an
nounced. He received his visitor with
a dignified bow, in a manner ar0iding
to shake hands, even with best friends.
As visitors came, they formed a circle
round the room; and at q quarter-past
three, the door closed, and the circle
was formed for that day. He then be-
gan on the right, and spake to each
visitor, calling him by name, and ex-
changing few words. When he had
completed his circuit he resumed his
first position; and the visitors. ap-
preaching him in succession, bowed
and retired. By four o'clock this cere-
mony was over. These facts have been
learned in general from the reminis-
cences of General Sullivan"

THE RAINY DAY.

It is surprising that SO many people
live without taking thought of the NOR
row. Reckless expenditure to insure
ease for the present seems to be the Or
der of the day. With all the accom-
plishments of the young people nova
days, how few have the education which
will enable them to economic in time
of need! The girls smattering of the
languages won't do this, nor the boys
skill at billiards; and thus the house
hold expenditure suffer from the lack Of
an intelligent system of housekeeping,
and ignorance of the younger branches
of the family, both on this point,
and the way to earn their own living.
Isn't it high time that there should be
q change in this respect? The chances
and changes of business, and the uncer-
tainties of investment, make sad havoc
with the position of once well-to-do
people, and find too many members OF
families unable to do anything to keep
the wolf from the door The same neg
lect of sound and reasonable educs-
ton prevents the wife and children oi
working men from helping to bear the
load which presses SO heavily on the
father of a family. How many good
housekeepers are there among the mid
die or upper classes who can, by care.
full management, so reduce their expen-
ses as to tide over dull times, and in
bright days have surplus ready for the
savings bank? This is apractical ques-
tion, to which our household economists
should pay attention. Although the
cost of living has largely increased dur.
ing the last decade Of years, it is still
possible, by the exercise of judicious
economy and foresight, to provide for
the rainy day. Clearly the demand of
the present day is for more practical
and more useful education for all classes

HEART.RENDING CALAMITY.
A BEAUTIFUL GIRL FOUND HANGING

A BEAUTIFUL GIRL FOUND HANGING.
Just as we are going to press, we are
startled with the following details of a
sad event which will cast q shade OF
gloom over this community. For the
present, out of respect for the suffering
parents of the lady, we refrain publish
ing the names of the dramatis person9
in the scene described below:
For the last ten years there has been
in this city an eminently respectable
family, the pride of whose household
was a charming daughter of seventeen.
She was as beautiful as the idesl of the
poet, and as remarkable for intelligence
as for surprising lovliness. Her eyes
were like stars on summer night, and
her form, warmed by youthful, vigorous
womanhood, was as graceful as thatof q
Grecian goddess. Her hair hung in
graceful ringlets over her lovely shoul-
ders like moulten gold, and her cherry
cheeks, as soft as velvet, looked like
roses mingled with snow. AS natural
result one would expect that creature
possessed of such charms of mind and
form and feature would awaken the
grand passion in some mans bosom;
such was the case. For several months
past, fascinating young gentleman,
we'll known on Main street, has been
paying her the most devoted attention.
He, too, was handsome and Intelligent.
Her female friends would occasionally
tease her about him, and food of con-
scious bushes would irradiate her beau
tiful face at the very mention of bis
name. Everything seem to pass along
smoothly for awhile, when all sudden
she lost her spirits and wore q look OF
melancholy. Her musical laughter was
hushed, and she seemed like lily that
had been made to fade by the burning
rays of q summers sun. Her parents
became anxious about her condition
and watched over her with tender soil.
citude. Although frequently questioned
as to the cause of her depression and
sadness, she made no reply except in
an equivocal kind of style that rendered
confusion worse confounded. Las,
evening about 8 o'clock, she was missed
| from her home, and the worst fears of
her parents were excited. They sought
high and low, but she was nowhere to
be found. At length her father remem-
bered that of late, she had been in the
habit of sitting, sad, weeping and dis.
tracted in o vine covered arbor situated
in the garden. He rushed to the arbor
and as that distracted father gazed upon
the scene that met his view, rendered
more dismal by the dim, glimmerine
starlight, his blood curdled in his veins,
his cheeks turned pale, and the heavins
Of his bosom plainly told that it was
filled with deepest emotion. There be-
fore him was his beautiful daughter
her tall aud graceful form arrayed ir
spotless white, her long, golden hail
streaming like food of light down te
her waist, hanging-oh think of il
young men and maidens and pare Mt
hanging with her arms-around hel
lovers neck and her head pillowed OF
his manly breast.

Counting IN Billion.

What is billion? The reply is very
simple-a thousand times million. This
is quickly written, and quicker still pro-
nounced. But no man is able to count
it. You count 100 or 10 minute; but
let us suppose that you go as far as 200,
then an hour would produce $4,000 a
day, 28S, 900, and year. or 800 days,
1O5, l2O, 900. Let us suppose, now, that
Adam, at the beginning of his existence,
had begun to count, had continued to do
so, and was counting still, he would not
even now. according to the usually sup
posed age of our globe, have counted
near enough. For, to count a billion,
he would require 1912 years, 342 DAYS,
5 hours and 20 minutes, according to
the above rule. Surprising we were to
allow poor counter u hours daily for
rest, eating and sleeping, he would need
19,O25 years, 319 days, 10 hours, and
40 minutes.

We are gratifed to see that all of our
contemporaries of the press, who have
spoken at all on the subject of the Judge
ship of this District, are in favor of our
townsman, Col. A. G. Mayers. We
would also state in this connection, that
nearly the entire bar of this District have
signifed their preference for his appoint
ment. This is a well-merited tribute to
a cultivated gentleman, who is in no
sense an office seeker, but who has devo-
ted his life to his profession. Brandon

We learn that no name will be pre-
scented for Judge of the 9Th District ex-
cept that of Col. Mayors. The senti-
ment Of the bar and the people is solid
for him. Therefore there can be no
room for contest 1t is a splendid
tribute to one who combines the highest
legal requirements with all the elements
that make up man without fear and

The procession on st. Patrick's Day
was to march by the Hppodrome in the
afternoon in the very midst of the preach
ing by Mr.. Moody. The music would
necessarily produce a disturbance and
interruption of the services. In anticpia-
ton of such an annoyance, request was
sent to the Marshal of the day, with
which he cheerfully complied, and before
the procession reached the Hippodrome.
the bands Of music ceased playing, and the
vast procession went by in respectful 81
