Martial Memories.


One Of the petty annoyances OF marriage
which Baizac failed TO mention is the int
deiItv vi husbands memories. There AFT
very lew wives, especially after they have
been such five or six Years, who do not
have reason to complain of the neglect
OF the small commissions inirusted to
their lords. At first they smile pleasantly,
and say. Never mind, dear, it is of no con-
sequence" But when the offender, taking
them literally at their word, comes TO IT.
gard whatever he may be requested TO do
wholly unimpartant, they change
their tone somewhat They cannot afford
10 strain the truth forever for poiiteness'
sake, when they see thar poliIeness encour-
ages dorelIcliun. Therefore, they say
frankly that they are very sorry; that the
failure TO do this or that will cause them
great inconvenience or put them in very
embarrassing position. They even go so far
they are as,uredly iustitied-as TO declare
that this perpetual forgetting is provoking
IN the extreme, and indicative OF very little
consideration for them on the husbands
part, and they may punctuate their remarks
with several tears.
Then, of course, the head of the house, If
he have any feeling or sense OF contrition,
avows his regret, and explains precisely
how it happened that he didn't remember.
lie had probably been just As guilt hun
dred times before but hitherto he has new
er offered word OF explanation-for the
reason that there seemed to be no neces-
sity for it. Naturally, he promises amend
ment, and promises SO sweetly, ahd
with such an air of repentance, that the
wife is melted. and reirains for fortnight
1T least from asking him to recollect any
thing. When she does ask, he forgets again
as readily as ever, and admits that it is too
bad-thouSh he cannot tell why he forgot
and ventures the statement that it won't
be SO any more. IL is not unlikely that,
under the stress OF chagrIn, he does remem-
Der two or three times, and then, consider
ing his entire duty discharged, he falls back
into his old remissness

Truth About rrorac. Greeley.


The Philosopher OF the tribune was a
great gourmand, not an epicure, and would
eat, in season and out OF season, whatever
pleased his palate. And this, although he
was a professed Grahamite, or believer in
a vegetable and cereal diet. We have
known him to walk severalSlocks for loaf
Of Graham bread, which he would eat with an
accompaniment OF TWO dozen large fried oys-
tiers, and to eat a midnight meal of beef

lie did not know the taste of spirits, and
would not use them even as medicines. In the
course OF forty years that We knew him in
timately, We never but once knew OF his
tasting anything that contained liquors, and
then he did it unwiitingly For years it
had been his custom To eat his Thanksgiy-

who had brought with her from her native
Vermont the traditional New England Gus
tom of celebrating Thanksgiving. The late
Mr.. Henry j. RAYMOND and John +. Cleve-
land Mr.. Greeley's brother in-law) also
now deceased, were generally among the
guests. On one of these occasions plates of
brandy peaches were placed for each guest.
Greeley, standing on no ceremony, tasted Of
the peaches, and finding them palatable,
quickly disposed OF the allotted pOr-
ton, and was handing up his plate
for another supply, when Cleveland =

interrupted him with the question, Printer

answered Greeley, with that peculiar drawl-

continued Cieve, '.you have been gobbling
down brandy peaches like an old topper"
There was a look-a strange mingling of
disgust, sadness, and dismay-came over
Mr.. Greeley's face, and moaniully saying,
"What did you tell me that for? ?" he
pushed aside the replenished plate, and the
sratiiied palate was hastily cleanSed

A lady reporter OF New York dramatic

Lydia Thompson's most fascinating blondes,
and was there shown splendid jewelry to the
value of many thousands of dollars, which,
she said, had been presented her by London
swells. These sweIls, she said, consider it
the height of human bliss 10 receive a smile

American young men, she avowed, with
disgust, that the latter We're shy OF ac-
tresaes, except when they were engaged in

just one boquet, and if the sender paid more
than three dollars for it he was terribly
cheated" We could hardly have believed
that American young men are guilty OF so
much good sense. But, as the Thompson
blonde had no reason for being untruthful,
We must conclude that our swell young men

BALLsroN SPA. November 25.-About a
mile from here, in this county OF Saratoga,
is the pretty little village of Bloodviiie,
containing the Knickerbocker Axe and
Scythe Works. The place is named after
Isaiah Blood, and is inhabited chiefly By the.
operatives in the works, which were estab-
ilshed there many years ago by his faIaer.
On the death OF the son the property pass
ed into the possession OF his son in-law, Mr..
Henry knickerbocker, Of New York. Mr..
Blood married, when young man, Miss
GATES, OF Malta, the daughter Of farmer.
Their lives for many years, were spent
In united efforts 10 accumulate a fortune, in
which they were successful. Long before
his death Mr.. BloOd's business had so in
creased that he became probably the richest
man in Saratoga county. He built in
Bloodville the finest private residence in
the section. All that wealth and taste
could do to make the dwelling and all its
surroundings elegant as done with lavish
liberality. Mr.. Blood was selected Senator
in 1869, and he died IN the fall of 1870,
having served but one year of his term.
He lett an estate valued at a million dol
lars. BY his will he lei; the widow the

ago, Mrs. Blood was as fair and attractive
As a we'll preseryed widow of 60, with such
