WASHINGTON, Dec. N.--On next None
day night, December 81, 1870, the presi-
dent and Mrs. Hayes contemplate the
celebration ut the executive mansion of
their silver wedding. 1t is proposed to
conduct this interesting domestic event
without ostentation, and the persons who
have been invited are only those who
were present at the nuptial ceremony q
quarter OF century ago. In referring TO
this period IN the career of the man who
now fills the Chief magistrates seat OF the
republic, we find him, in the month Of
December, lS49, on Christmas eve, arr
irving in Cincinnati to begin the practice
of his profession, which he had pursued
with much success, but in u more limited
sphere, at Lower SaDdusky, now Ere
mont, Sandusky county, Ohio. On the
sth OF january, 1850, Mr.. Hayes took an
Office with }. W. Heron, and shortly at.
forwards made his first noticeable effort
at the bar Of Cincinnati, at which
some OF the most eminent jurists OF
the state were then practitioners, as cOun-
Sci for Nancy Farrow, which was the |
greatest criminal case OF the times. La
causes of less prominence he had already |
attracted the attention Of Judge X. b. |
Warden, presiding judge Of the criminal |
court, who selected MIN for the important |
post OF counsel In the FarrOw case. AL.

Hayes made strong case In her defense,

sriord B. Hayes, the rising young advo-
cate at the bar of that state, was married
70 Lucy Ware Webb, by Prof. l.. d. Nc
Cabe, of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
,ity. There were present as invited
guests but forty persons at this unosten-
.atiOus marriage OF the future president
Of the United States. The bride was the
laughter Of Dr. James Ware and Maria
Cook Webb. DR.. Webb was successful
physician OF Chilliotle, Ohio, who died
at Louisville. Ky, some twenty years
previous to the marriage Of his daughter,
where he had gone TO perfect arrange
ments for the transportation to Liberia
Of the slaves set tree by himself and

through which the country had then but

In the times as here described a strong
resemblance to the present:
There came summer OF prosperity
which fingered so long and shone so
brightly that men forgot that winter
could ever come. Each day grew b.. ght-

Even sober melh touched with wildpsss,
seemed to expect q realization of oriental
tales. Upon this bright day came sudden
irosts, storms and blight. Men awoks
from gorgeous dreams in the midst of
desolatlon. The harvest OF years were
swept away In day. The strongest
firms were rent as easily as the oak by
lightning. Specializing companies were
dispersed as scared leaves IRON a tree 10
autumn. Merchants were ruined by
clerks turned adriit by tens
Of. thousands. Mechanics were lett in
ldlencss. Farmers sighed over tlocks
and wheat as useless as the stones and
lit. The wide sea of commerce was
;tagnant; upon the realm of Industry
settled down sullen lethargy.
Out of this reverse swarmed an unnum>

they Will not. As we have repeatedly

adopted for that purpose Is for the gov.

his freighting trip to Custer and Dead

Cheyenne, where the main party camped

creek. About eight o'clock in the even
ing they were fired into by Indians
Stevens and Fritz fell, and the other
three started for Hat creek, Reed being
pursued for some distance. He heard
firing for sometime in the direction of
the camp. In the morning Macy and
his party went to the scene and found
Stevens lying on his back with forty
six bullet holes in him. Fritz was shot
through the chest and head The flour
and corn had been emptied in piles on
each side of the wagons, and the sacks
and wagon covers and some sugar carried
off. The guns of the party, one an ex-

broken over the wheels.

The Charm of Simple Cookery.

English cooks overdo everything, and
the great charm of French dinner is
the simplicity not of its dishes only, but
even of its sauces. An English cook,
for instance, puts butter into her apple
sauce, and considers that every Joint
ought to be accompanied by three vege-
tables at least if not by four.
The English host is never SO proud as
when he sees upon his table some gor-
geous dish, such as a salmon a la Cham
bord, or Normandy sole. Now, carp
la Chdmtord, or club a la Cham
6ord-if club is to be eaten at all-is all
very well; for lean and muddy fish re-
quire thus to be dressed up. SO, too,
when sole is not quite so fresh as it
ought to be, an ingenious cook will
smother it with mussels, oysters, truf-
hes, onions, mushrooms, and a hundred
other such garnishes. But fresh salmon
or fresh sole, cannot be cooked too
plainly and simply.
We spoil half our dishes by this Eng
lish barbarism. There ia, for instance,
only one way to eat sn artichoke; but at
an English table artichokes are literally
served as a vegetable with the meat. AS
paragus is similarly desecrated. Salad
is taken in conjunction with hot meat,
and as often as not on the same plate
while the English idea of salad is that
you cannot thrust too many different
kinds of herbs into the bowl together.
The result, of course, is that each neu.
tralizes the flavor of the other, and what
we get is tumble of lettuce, onion, tar
ragon, endive, cucumber, beetroot and
celery, all mixed up together.
The French, who know better than
this, allow some one herb to predominant
distinctively in every salad Too much
art in cookery may be as fatal as too lit.

History of q Picture.

Two Of the most celebrated artists the world
has ever know dwelt in the same city. One
delighted in delineating beauty in all its graces
Of tint form and motion. His portraits were
instinct with the charm of physical vigor. The
graceful, half yoluptious outline of form and
feature harmonized with delicately blended
tints On his canvas the homeest faces had
an almost irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only in depicting weird and gloomy
subjects. Above all, did he excel in painting
the portraits of the dying. The agonizing
death throe, the ghastly face and form, were
all depicted with marvellous fidelity There
existed between these artists the most intense
dislike. At length this dislike eliminated.
The beauty loving artist had been engaged in
painting the portrait Of a beautiful woman.
Connoisseurs pronounced it the most wonderful
piece OF art that had ever been produced. His
brother artist was jealous of his fame and
sought revenge. By bribing the keeper of the
studio he gained access to the picture each
night. AT first he was content to only deaden
the brilliancy of the complexion and eyes.
efface the bloom from cheek and lip and paint
shadow on either cheek. Later, his strokes
grew bolder and freer. and one morning the
artist awoke to find the entire outline Of the
portrait changed. He could scarcely recognize
in the emaciated form and haggard counte-
nance the glowing conception he had embodied.
The pallid face and expressionless eyes he had
attributed to a lack of genuineness in his ma
terials but when the outlines were changed he
suspected the cause and Indignantly dismissed
the keeper. What the revengeful artist marred
by few rapid strokes of his skillful brush was

Four Men Blown TO Pieces.

The boiler of portable saw-mill at
Afford, Ind, exploded just as the men
were going to start the engine, the ex-
plosion killing four men and wounding
as many more. The engineer was blown
through the top of large oak, and
struck limb of the tree, his clothes
catching and the body swinging over the
limb till the clothing tore away, and the
body fell to the ground. A boy was
blown in two, the top of his head blown
off aud the brains scattered in every di-
rect;on. One man was smashed. The
largest piece of boiler was found about
two hundred yards from the mill An
other piece, the fire box, was found as
far away in an opposite direction. The
cause of the disaster is unknown.
