Washington.

few years since, a Rector not a hundred miles from our County Seat remarked to your humble servant that his parish was a good deal like Heaven; In reply to a surprised remark upon the excellence of his people, he said, Well, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage"
 Washington, however, has not quite reached that degree of eminence {; for one of your cor respondents informed us last, week, that such an earthlgvevent was to take place last We'd nesday evening. What Das to be- then, has been, now Miss Frances A. Wright and Mir. Will bur H. Osborn were united in the bonds of Holy Matrimony at the residence of the brides father Mir. William H. Wright, in the pres ence of large circle of relatives and friends. The ceremony was performed by the Rector of St. Johns, and the bride was given away by her uncle, Mir. Senior of New Milford.
 The elements smiled propitious on the festive gathering, for the chill snow storm of the morn- ing had cleared away, so that the moon shone out brightly and the temperature moderated altogether, making it pleasant and comfortable for the numerous guests both coming and go- ing. When the congratulations had all been given the company were invited to the SUD- per table which was bountifully supplied with cake of almost numberless varieties and apples of sundry sorts. How can the ladies prepare so many different kinds of cake, and yet have every one so excellent It certainly passes my comprehension. Fragrant tea and coffee were also provided for those who wished, and who had not, before their eyes, the dread of sleep less night. After the refreshmcnt of the inner man, music, both instrumental and vocal, dancing, and games, interspersed with social conversation, occupied the time most agreeably until the midnight hour had passed. All en. joyed themselves so much that they were sur prised at the rapid flight of time
 The remark was made several times that ''the bride looked very pretty" and whileyour present correspondent is no judge of beauty, he can testify that she looked what she is, good The toilets of the bride and others require the pen of some fairer and more facile correspon- dent. It was understood that the happy couple were to set out the next day for a trip to the eastern part of Massachusetts, Probably extending to Boston. Peace and happiness be with them on their journey and in their home, enduring not only through time, but continuing also throughout eternity. P.

It pains us to write you of the death of Miss Helen, youngest daughter of Mr. E. R. Bee man. Lakeside, who died last Thursday after noon of diphtheria, in her 18th year. There seems peculiar sadness in the death of the young, like the untimely plucking of the flower before it's beauty expands, robbing us of it's promised loveliness, as in this instance, love- ly childhood giving promise of 8 beautiful womanhood just bursting into bloom. Of such the Father has need and we doubt not her sweet song is now heard with the angels, in heavenly mansions whither she has gone from beautiful home here, over which the death angel has cast dark shadow. Univer- sal sympathy is felt for the stricken household, whe will ever miss the one who added se much to their happiness.

 For touch of a vanished hand,
 And the sound of voice that is still "

Among the many notions lie Due,

has in his head is that of introducing the
raising of coffee in the United States.
In the cultivation of the berry climate
of uniform temperature, without either
excessive heat or cold, and possessing a
fair amount of humidity is necessary,
and certain portions of Texas, Florida
and California seem to fill the bill. In
the latter State indeed the experiment
of planting Costa Rica coffee has already
been tried with success. The coffee Of
commerce comes chiefly from Brazil,
Venezuela, Hayti, the East and West
Indies and Mexico. The plant or rather
tree, grows from eight to twelve and
even twenty to thirty feet high, its up
ward growth being generally checked
by topping, however, for the convent
ence Of gathering the fruit. 1t takes
three years to get plants bearing, and
then they are good for twenty years

The Danger Of Eating Diseased Beef

Glasgow Herald.
DIR, c. Cameron, in his report on the
flesh of animals, presented to the Lord
Mayor OF Dublin, says: a malady
affecting oxen, and termed pearl dis
ease, has long been known on the Con
tinent In the last century popular
belief arose that pearl disease was iden-
tical with syphilis in man. People re-
fused to eat the flesh OF the animals Nf-
fected with this complaint and the use
of it was prohibited by the authorities
in Germany, Austria, and other coun-
tries In 1872, Helm, a German physi-
clan, proved that there was no relation
between pearl disease and syphilis, and
two years later Grammar published
treatise, in which he agreed with the
opinion of Helm as to the innoculous
character of the flesh of animals af-
fcctcd with pearl disere, The restric-
tions in reference to the sale of such
flesh were consequently removed in the
course of few years by all the States
of the continent.
"The dislike of the people to eat the
flesh of animals affected with pearl dis
ease continued, however, unabated, not
withstanding the medical testimony as
to its innoculOus character and in this
matter, as in so many others, the human
instinct has been proved to be right.
The admirably conducted experiments
of Prof. Gerlach of the Berlin Veterin
ary School, Prof. Leisering of the Dres-
den Veterinary School, and DR.. Klebs
have proved that pearl disease is of Il
tubercular nature. They have shown
that animals who eat the flesh of animals
affected with tuberculosis arevery liable
to contract that disease. Experimental
results have proved that the milk of
animals having pearl or other tubercu-
lar disease are capable of propagating
tube rculosis.
"Tubercle, therefore, is highly infec-
tive, and as the most deadly form of
phthisis in man is tuberculosis, it must
sometimes happen that themilk or flesh
of COWS with tubercular disease gives
rise to- the same disease in man. Now
it is only quite recently that the poison
Gus nature of the flesh of tubercular
oxen has been ascertained, though near.
ly century ago medical men asserted
that it was a wholesome food. May not
the aversion which people now have to
eat the flesh of pleuro- -pheumonic oxen
be founded upon as true an instinct as
that which led the Germans, and Scan
divanians to loathe the meat furnished
by animals suffering from the pearl
disease?'"

posed all that class Of claims and sent up
to the clerks desk and had read letter OF
Samuel ]. Tilden during the campaign, In
which he declared his opposition to all such
claims, and stated II he should be elected
he would deem 1t his duty to veto any bills
for the payment of losses incurred during
the war. This was the first time the COM
mittec Of the House had opened the door
to that large class of claims. Mr.. Springer
said Tilden referred to claims arising from
acts caused by the war. while the case in
question had nothing to do with the pro-
cess of war, Without taking any action on
the bill the committee rose. and Mr. Hanna
called up the Senate resolution in regard
to the death Of Senator o. P, Morton, and
eulogies on the life and public services Of
the dead Senator were pronounced.
On the 18th, very little was done in
the Senate except to pronounce the eulogies
on Senator Morton. A joint resolution ap-
pointing President Noah Porter, of Yale
College, member of the Board of Regents
Of the Smithsonian institute, was agreed
to. The views of the late Senator Morton
in regard to Chinese immigration having
been found among his papers, were sub
mitted by Senator Wadleigh and ordered
printed. Resolutions Of prospect to the men,
ory Of Morton were adopted and suitable
remarks made upon his lite and character,
after which the Senate adjourned.
The House, however, had more interest
ing session. Frye's bill to make all persons
charged with crimes and offences compe-
tent witnesses in the United States Courts
passed; and also the bill directing the See
retary of War to pay to soldiers engaged
in the Mexican war the three months extra
pay already provided for by act of Congress,
The joint resolution extending thanks to
Stanley the African Explorer, passed unan-
imously. A message was received from the
Senate communicating its resolutions on
the death of the late Senator Morton. Hanna
gave notice he would call them up tO-mor-
row, and the House adjourned.
