Mrs. washington's Knitting,

/
Two years ago while in Washington
city, | went with friend to call on Mrs
Seilig, dear old lady, 90 years Of age
After sending up our names, she came
lightly down the stairs of the beautiful
mansion of which she was an honored
inmate and received us with kindly
greeting. Knowing that she had seen
Washington, we directed our converse
ton towards her early recollections
Responding she said " Yes, my dear,
have seen all our Presidents. Only a
few months since, / walked with Presi-
dent Grant around this room, at the
marriage of my grand-niece. And now,
if you will allow me, ! will tell you a
little anecdote of Gen. and Mrs. Wash
ington"
As this was just what we wanted we
gladly assented. She began
When | was a very little girl lived
with an aunt in Philadelphia, in house
opposite to the one occupied by Gen,
Washington. My aunt, being on inti-
mate terms with Mrs. Washington, pro-
posed one day to take me with her to
visit that lady. 'Oh dear, said l, not
now, for | have on wooden home-knit
stockings My aunt laughed, saying
Mrs. Washington will not think less of
you for that and taking her own knit
ting in her hand, as was the custom in
those days when going out to visit, with
the other hand she led nae rather reluct-
antly to make her visit. We were soon
received in the pleasant chamber of Mrs.
Washington, who was also knitting. NV
aunt told Mrs. Washington my objec-
ton to making the call in home-knit !
hose, at which she laughed merrily, and,
raising her dress, put out her neatly-clad.
foot, saying, My, dear, you see l have
on wooden stockings, and of my own
knitting and these | have on my nee
dies are for my husband, who never
wears any but those | knit After
which | felt quite satisfied with my home
made hose"
This old lady was as cheerful as a
young girl, said she was waiting just on
the brink Of the river for her Saviour,
and repeated to us several hymns. IfI
she lived, she hoped to see the Centen
NAL in Philadelphia but her Saviour
came and took her in his arms before
that time. She died about year ago.

A recent decision by the Supreme
Court of Mexico is likely to make
more trouble for that misg6verned
country. In June last the State Gov
eminent of Tamaulipas imposed n
heavy war tax, on foreign merchants
as well as upon native citizens, for the
suppression of an anticipated insurrec.
ton in rampico. The foreign mer-
chants doing business in MatamOras,
being advised by eminent lawyers that
the eXacti0n OF this tax from them
would be illegal and contrary to trea-
ty stipulations, procured nh injunction
against its collection from federal
Judge in Montery. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court in the city
of Mexico, the result of which was n
decision that the tax IL legal. The
foreign merchants affected by this
ruling have held an indignation meet
ing, and resolved to appeal to
their respective Governments for
protection and this may lead to COM
plications which will give serious
trouble to the Mexican authorities. 1t
is alleged that the decision complained
of was procured by means of COM
pact between President Lerdo and
Canales, by which, in turn for the in
terposition Of the President, the latter
is to support him for reelection. One
great cause Of the weak condition is
his promotion to his present office.
