From the New York Sun j

find in the New York Times Of Sun
day the following statement quoted from
the Phlladelphia Ledger
awhile President ofthe United States
Washington was one day the subject Of
conversation among some of his former
companions in arms. His stately de.
meanor was referred to AZ enfor. ing re-
spect. One Of the gentlemen-noi con-
spicuous for his dignity Of carriage
ridiculed the PresIdent's "awe-fnapiring
presence" He declared that he would
not hesitate to clap the President on the
back, and under the banter Of his conf
panions, carried out his boast. The look
Of astonished Indignation with which
Washington turned ronnd upon him
was ar everlasting lesson 10 him on the
subject Of personal dignity"
This is n sloveRly paraphrase Of an
anecdotr repeated by me rs told to me by
my uncle, Major James COchrane, now
deceased, who witnessed the scene.

midst of their hilarity, he saw Gouver-

he WAS seated, and clapping him on the
back heard him cry out "Wasn't it so.

Washington, my uncle said, sat un-
moved. and a death-like silence fell upon
the whole company, which soon after
quietly broke up.

She showed Us the little cake Of JdTC

which it was applied. Gentlemen use
this fdrd also for their Boards.
Next she opened another little box
which inclO$ed blue pencil. 1t looked
very much like a blue crayon.
what use do yon make of this ?"
Remember we have hidden all the
veins on the surface of our lady's skin.
With this pencil, which you see is also
approved by the Faculty of Medicine OF
Paris. we trace the veins all over again.
We begin at the hands. go up the arms,
pencil them on the fair neck, on the
sides of the face, on the temples, and
the forehead. This requires the incest
care and some knowledge of anatomy.
for we must not make veins al random.
Then with this same pencil we trace a
delicate line under each eye, and shade
off the same with clean leather stamp
or pencil. Some use fard Indien for this
purpose; bnt it is a mistake That is a
very coarse makeup which is easily
seen through. When we have finished
with one of our carefully studied make
ups, the lady looks as natural AS she does
beautiful"
"And how long will it last ?"
Until the lady finds it necessary to
wash her skin, ;" WAS the reply.
Now comes the very incest part Of
all, the application of the color. Here
are dozen different shades Of rouge
If our lady is made up for blonde she
will require pale rouge; if for brunette
dark. Sometimes, it takes ten minutes
or more to get precisely the right shade
At last it is found, and we go on. We

long curls, and the makeup is finished.

artistic makeup of all, and also the
costlIest. The lady pays us fifty dollars
and all the cosmetiques and hair that

Coffee.

At the time Columbus discovered
America, coffee had never been known or
used. 1t only grew in Arabia or upper
Utopia. The discovery Of its use ms
beverage is ascribed to the Superior Of
a-monastery in Arabia, who, desirous Of
preveatidg the monks from sleeping at
their nocturnal services, made them
drink an Infusion Of coffee, on the re-
ports of shepherds, who observed that
their Aocks were more lively after
browsing on the fruit Of that plant Its
reputation spread through the adjacent
countries, and in about two hundred
years, il had reached Paris. A single
plant brought there in IVA, became the
parent stock Of all the French coffee
plantations in the West Indies. The
Dutch introduced il into =ava and the
East Indies, and the French and Span
ish all over South America and the
West Indies. The extent of the con-
sumption now can hardly be realized.
The United States alone annually con

from fifteen to sixteen million dollars.

An instance of ineffable cheek comes
from Northampton County, Pa, where
the other night two men entered the
yard of man named Lerch and took a
fat porker from his pig-pen. They
drove the pig short distance from the
house and attempted to place him in q
wagon that was standing by the road
side. Failing in their attempt, they
went back to the house and begged Mr.
Lerch TO go with them and load the pig
Into the wagon; that il was too heavy for
them; that they had driven him a long
distance, and that he refused to proceed
any further. Mr.. Lerch at once con-
sente'i, she pig was loaded, Mr.. Lerch
went back to the house, and the next
morning found that il was his own pig
that he had taken hand in loading ON
the wagon. Search has been made for
the rascals, but they have not as yet
been found. I.erch says he feels that he
has been left in the lnrch.

The result of the work Of Mcssrs. Moody
and Sankcy in Philadelphia ought to prove to
the religious public who have been anxiOuSly
regarding it, two things: First, that the mass
of the people are not only ready but willing
70 receive instruction a. to the salvation OF
their souls; and secondly, that the method
adopted by these preachers of giving such in
stiuction has in il some element Of success
not ALWAYS to be found in ordinary church
ministrations. A in Brooklyn, curiosity doubt
less drew multtulcs tO their meetings, and
other muliitudcs were church members, who
went partly for a new excitement and partly
from the purcst OF motives After the first
three weeks the attendance in Philadelphia,
we are told, fell off for n few days percepti-
bly. curiosity oi church members and others
having been gratiicd. After that deeper in
torcst WAS quickencd and the building, con-
tanning II 900, has been steadily filled twice
each dav, and on some occa lions thousands
were turned away. All classes were repre-
ecut.d in these crowds. There can bo no
doubt that the reyiyalists in some way man
aged to reach those lower strata OF human be-
iucs who in great city will moi be tempted
10 enter an ordinary church. Very nearly 4
million of people, il il calculated, received the
message which these men had to tell.
Now the main point in This statement, in our
view, is that no other subject would have
drawn in any city an average daily attend
ance of $4,000 people for six weeks. 1t proves
what we have often asserted, that below
politics, mOney-making, or domestic affection,
the most careless man has an urgent care for
his soul and its chances of future life. 1t
proves that when a clergyman in his COM
Portable or costly church looks down from his
pulpit on empty pews and laments the cold
ness of human beings on the subject of their
salvation, the fault lies somewhere in himself
OF his church or their way of offering that
salvation. IL this wealthy church member
has bought farm, or that ono has married n
wife and therefore cannot come, does the
clergyman, like his Master, go out into tho
highways and compel the poor and lame and
blind to fill tho luxurious pewsi Doctrinel
and church government ecclesiastical archi-
lecture, decoration, and forms Of services have
their uses, and may serve as mediums to con-
vey an idea of Christ and His teaching. But
when the mediums become the important oh.
ject and the idea is obscured, it is time thai
they should be swept ont Of sight. There has

part of this programme is understood to be
that Gen. Hawley shall head the delegation.
This is an excellent arrangement. We see
but one thing in tho way Of its being carried
out. The Postmaster at New-IIaven was not
consulted in it. And lie is a person who
attends caucuses and ia interested in politics,
and has large correspondence. He may have
other plans.
But however that may be, it is encouraging
to see the small States coming to the front
with their candidates, just as clipper and hope
full as though they were keystones and all
that sort OF thing. 1t indicates belief, in
the small States at any rate, that candidates
for President and icePresident may be nom
mated on their merits, and not on account of
the number of electoral votes they can carry.
1t may be dcusion, but it is pleasing one.
Any one of the gentlemen named would fill
the Presidential Office better than-but COM
PARSONS are 0dorous. Let the little States step
up then and act as though they thought they
had chance.
