General Bartlett and His TaliSman.

When the late General William F. Bart
lett was a boy Gardibaldi had visited in
Bartletts family, taken him upon his knee
and given him little talisman, which Bart
lett had kept as we'll as the memory of his
youthful worship of the Italian popular lea
der; and when he presented it and himself to
Garibaldi in the latter's Italian home, bearing
with his name and upon his body the proofs
that he, too, was military hero, the gray
Italian welcomed the young American as
proud father an hon0red son, and showered
him with atfectionate attentions and hospi-
tality. General Bartlett leaves a beautiful
wife and FIVE young chldren-the youngest
of whom, babe of few weeks, was bap-
tized as it were in bis dying arms, but a few
days ago, while he partook of the last sac
rament, aud himself sang the sacramental
hymn with a voice as clear and ringing as
that with which he ever called his soldiers to
battle. A few of his friends in Boston and
Berkshire have been making up u fund as a
tribute to his memory and support of his
family. 1t amounts already to some $12, 900.

The palaces Of CrGesus, Mausoleus and
Attalas, and other extremely ancient build
ings, were constructed of bard burnt red
brick. At the decline Of the Roman Empire
brickmaking fell, to great extent, into dis
use, and was revived again by the Italians
after some centuries.
The medaeval, secular and ecclesiastical
architecture of Italy abounds with fine ex-
ampes of brick and terra Gotta work. and
decorations of great beauty have been ex-
ecutcd in some materials.
Brickmaking arrived at its greatest per-
fection in the reign of Henry VIII, in
England, and some of the finest shown
specimens OF ornamental brickwork con-
structed in that reign are still the subject of
admiration, and are well preserved from
decay.
On rebuilding London after the great fire
1866, brick was the material universally
adopted for the new erections, and laws reg
ulating the sizes, thickness of wall and pro-
jections, were at that time made and enforced
for the better protection of the community.
Much Of the brickwork remaining in London
in buildings erected in the latter part of the
seventeenth century and beginning of the
eighteenth, is admirably executed and in good
preservation.

Domestic Life Of the Presidents.

Washington was married but had no chill
dren. Adams was married and had one son,
whom he lived to see President. Jefferson
was IL widower: his wife died twenty years
before his election. They had six children,
all daughters, of whom only two survived
infancy. Madison was married, but had no
children. His wife was the most elegant
woman that ever adorned the Presidential
mansion. She survived him, and was for
many years the pride of Washington society,
having lived to listen to Henry Clay's fare
well speech in the Senate. Monroe was mar
ried, and SO was John Quincy Adams. Jack
son was widower, and so were Van Buren
and Harrison. Tyler was a widower when
be entered office, but soon after married the
heiress Miss Gardiner of this city He was
the only President that married during his
term ot office. Polk was married man, and
his wife survived him number of years.
General Taylor was widower. Pierce was
a married man, but Buchanan was a bach
elor. The social condition of such men as
Lincoln, johnson and Grant needs no re-
ference, except that Grant is the first Presi-
dent who had q daughter married while in
office. Cincinnati Gazette.

The Afable Man.
From the Detroit Free Press,


A mother and babe were among the pas
sengers waiting at the Central Depot yester-
day. She had the child carefully wrapped
up, and this fact perhaps attracted the atten-
ton of big fellow with three-story over
coat and a rusty satchel in his hand. Sitting
down beside her he remarked:
"Cold weather for such little people, isn't
it?"
She family nodded
'Does he seem to feel it much p continued
the man.
She shook her head.
''Is it healthy child p he asked, seeming
greatly interested.
'.He was,. up to few moments ago., she
snapped out, ''but am afraid he has smelled
SO much whisky that he'll have the delsrsum
tremens before night"
The man got right up and walked out of
the room. and was afterwards seen buying
cloves and cinnamon.

lhe First American Coins.

Wampum-that is, strings of shells ground
down so that each piece was about the size
of grain OF corn-was used by the Indians
for ornament and for barter The early
colonists, through trading with the Indians,
became accustomed to this article, and used
it to some extent among themselves. But as
it would not be taken by the merchants in
Europe for goods ordered from them, d
Metallic currency was soon demanded.
In 1862, the General Court of Massachu-
setts issued at Boston some silver pieces Of
the value of twelve and six English pennies
each. There, coins were merely found, flat
pieces of silver with IN. E. New England)
on the one side, and the value, XII, or WI,
on the other. The frupal authorities wasted
no money on engraving, not even announcing
the year in which the coins were issued.
This coinage was, however, so distasteful,
because of the absence of any design, that
another series was at once issued, on some
of which are the words "Masathysets. in"
while round the edge on the reverse is the
remainder of the legend, ''New England,
An. DOM" On this reverse is the date 1862,
in the center, with the numeral of value,
XII, vi, ILL.,, or H., below it, On others
of this design is a pine tree and while of
both these designs occasional issues took
place during nearly thirty years, yet the date
1862 is the only one used.
Charles the H., it is said, regarded this
coinage of the colony as an encroachment
on his prerogative We believe, however,
that his dislike was overcome by the state
ment that the design was memorial of the
famous oak-tree hiding place of his father!-
st. Nicholas.

Is Your Note Good:

Boston lawyer was called on some time
ago by boy, who inquired if he had any
waste paper to sell. The lawyer had a keen,
crisp way of asking questions, and is, more
over, methodical man. So, pulling out
large drawer, he exhibited his stock Of waste
paper.
''Wi)l you give me two shillings for that ?"
The boy looked at the paper doubtingly
moment, and offered fifteen pence
''Done" said the lawyer, and the paper
was quickly transferred to the bag of the
boy, whose eyes spark]ed as he lifted the
weighty mass.
Not till he had stoed 1t safely away did he
announce that he had no money
mo money! How do you expect to buy
paper without money p
Not prepared to state exactly his plan of
operations, the boy made no reply
do you consider your note good? ?" asked
the lawyer.
"Yes, sir"
Very well; if you say your notes good,
I'd just as soon have it as the money but if
it isn't good, don't want it..
The boy atfirmedthat he considered it good,
Whereupon the lawyer wrote note for fifteen
pence, which the boy signed legibly, and lift
ing the bag OF papers, trudged off.
Soon after dinner the little fellow returned,
and, -*,ducjng the money, announced that
he had come to pay his note.
''Well," said the lawyer, ''this is the first
time l ever knew note to be taken up the
day it was given. A boy that will do that is
entitled to note and money, too;'' and giving
him both, sent him on his way way with a
smiling face and happy heart
The boys note represented his honor. A
boy who thus keeps his honor bright, how
ever poor he may be in worldly things is an
heir to an inheritance which no riches can
buy-the choice promises OF God.-Interior.

AYOuthful ReScuer.

Of all who have ever received a silver
medal for saving human life, Eudoxie Char
reton, aged seven, is probably the youngest.
On October 21st she was pasturing some sheep
near Tran,olie, in France, when her little
fve-year old companion. who was washing
her apron from q board over deep tank,
tipped over and fell head foremost into the
water. Instead of running away for help
and crying, the brave little girl quickly
righted the board, caught her drowning CON-
panion by the heel, and succeeded in rescu-
ing her. She then stripped. wrapped her
and almost lifeless protege in her
own warm clothes, and then ran off to get

One Of the Original Black Crook Girls
Starving.
from the philadelphia ChrOnicle.l

[From the Philadelphia Chronicle.l
A terrible case of destitution and suffering
has come to light in this city. Ermina Ven
turolli, an Italian girl, who was brought to
this country with the original Black Crook
combination, and who performed at Niblo
Garden, New York, as one Of the leading
dancers, at 5000 week, when that brilliant
spectacle was in its glory, has just been found
lying in hovel, dying of starvation and
cold Immediate relief has been afforded
her, but it is feared she will die. She has
been living in penury for long time past,
completely paralyzed and sick. A brother,
once well-known singer at the theater here,
has been earning precarious living and try
ing to support her by selling brushes on the
streets, but he disappeared week ago, and is
supposed to have died at one Of the public
hospitals and been buried in q potters field.

Trappist Monks.

| About nine months ago brother Francis
Xavier Was sent to this country by the Gen.
eral of the order of Trappists, with instruc-
| tons to select and purchase suitable plot OF
ground for the erection of q monastery for q
branch Of the brotherhood in America. After
some delay Brother Francis secured desira-
bic piece OF property about three miles from
Baltimore, where the new monastery is to b
erected. Last September the farmhouse,
barns ETC., on the property which Brother
Francis had purchased were prepared for the
temporary housing OF the monks, pending
the erection OF the new triary as about 100
Of them expected to he sent here toward the
end of November. Brother Francis will
probably become prior or abbot of the new
colony OF friars. Among the 100 monks
selected for the new mission here there are
blacksmiths, shoemakers, tailors, cabinet
makers, carpenters, masOns, weavers, and
skilled agriculturists. The order does not
live on charity; it is not only self-supporting
but reaps large incomes from the industries
pursued by its brethren. The rules of this
brotherhood are the most ascetic of all the
monastic orders. They sleep on the floor,
rise to pray at midnight, go through the form
OF digging their own graves as reminder of
death; preserve unbroken silence from year
W year, use ntItueI uSu. meat, MIX, eggs,
nor anything except vegetables, bread and
water. Pure milk, butter, beer, and we'll
reared meats are proverbially found on the
lowest remunerative prices at the monasteries
of the Trappista. a few of the monks are
privileged to transact outside business, and
for these, of course, the stringent injunctions
of perpetual silence and other severe obliga-
tions are dispensed with. OF the 100 monks
who are now on their way to this country,
equal numbers have been selected from the
monasteries of Mariastern, in Turkey, Mount
Military in Ireland, Lept. Fonds in France,
and St. Bernard in Belgium. They will be
expected to conserve the rules of their order
as far as practicable while travelling On
reaching here they will be taken in charge by
Brother Francis York Herald.

Reflections AZ IDepeS.

ICharles ". Stodard in San Francisco Chreuicle.l
From high cliff that overhangs the
plains of Thebes, looked down upon the
temples sweeping eastward toward the Nile.
We were surrounded by girdle of glorious
hills softened with the subdued light of the
declining sun. The beauty OF the scene was
beyond description, and strove to conjure
up the shades of the great past, but out of
the silence came no responsive echo, and
within the sacred chamber OF the temples
the spell was broken and all the gods were
dumb. l lay on the deep grass at sunset
under the feet of the Colossi A we'll has
been sunk between the thrones of these
solemn watchers. A naked Nuban toiled at
the ''shadoof," disappearing from sight as
he stopped to fill his goatskin bucket, and
turning his curious eyes towards me as he
rose erect and swung the dripping burden
over his shoulder into q small canal, the
thirsty throat Of the meadow. There /
dreamed of the dromos with its double row
of sphynxes, down which the Colossi stared
night and day and Of the great temple that
stood behind them, no fragment of which
remains, and over the site of which the corn
the voice hailed the morning with audible
utterance-but no! The wind hissed in the
grass; the flies buzzcd about me the sun sank
into the desert, and the twilight paled before
the rising moon. and in the mellow twilight
returned to the shore thinking that ''Nilus
hearcth strange voices" and may hear
stranger yet in the hereafter; but to us the
=" Memnan resounded no more forever"
