Harriet Lane and "Dolly" Madison.

A Washington correspondent says
Harriet Lane, President Buchanan's
niece. who presided over his household,
and who is new the wife Of Henry Elliott
johnson, q Baltimore merchant, is prob.
ably the most beautiful woman who ever
lived in the White House. She was n
golden blonde with violet eyes, and came
to Washington after q career of dazzling
hrilliancy in the royal court of England.
4 British man-of-war was named after
her by order of her majesty the queen.
Her receptions at the White House are
remembered as the most brilliant ever
known, and old residents here will never
cease telling of them. "Dolly" Madi-
son was q different woman-more like
Mrs. Hayes. She really presided at the
White House for sixteen years. During
Jefferson's administration, while her
husband was secretary of state, and, i'm
mediately alter, during her husbands
eight years term as Pres dent. So popu-
lar was she, that al act of Congress was
passed unanimously comforting upon her
the franking privilege for life, and the
Senate unanimously adopteda resolution
admitting her to the floor OF It's chamber.
She was the onlywoman upon whom these
donors were ever conferred. "Dolly"
Madison continued to live in Washington
after her husbands death, and erected a
house on Lafayette square, ~diagonally
opposite from where Charles Sumner
used to live. She died there in 1849,
and her obituary in the National AatelH-
yencer announced that she was the most
popular oma in America

They Caught their Dog.

The Newburgh IN. W Journal says :
i couple Of young Newburghers were
vut hunting with a pointer dog. They
s;opped at one place and bent over a
.apling, to which they attached a snare
md u piece of bait. The thing was ar
rlnged SO that when an animal touched
.he bait the sapling would fly up and
he brute be caught in the moose. The
ads left their trap and went on, with
yes open for other game. Some time
tier they discovered that their dog was
one. Whistling did not produce him,
- the young men rotraced their steps.
jhcy found no track of the dog-not
u @tll they came in sight of the sapling
i""y bad bent over. There they saw
''cir pointer. He was suspended by
'ha neck high in the mir, his Strueglings
owing fainter and fainter. At a ia
liable moment he had slipped away
: IN his young masters and gone back
/ r the piece of meat they had left in
I e trap. The poor brute was almost
,.,al wbcn he vas cut down.

A Georgia Girl's Appetite.

The Savannah NeWs says: A party
of merry girls and boys got on the train
at some station between Atlanta and
Macon, bound for home. They were
laden with packages containing oranges,
apples, and other good things, and in
evident disposition to have a pleasant
time. Shortly after the train was in
motion the packages were opened. The
girls were bright, rosy checked, spark
ling-eyed maidens, and ranging in ages
between sixteen and eighteen years.
Their escorts were courteous, manly
youths, and having secured seats con-
venient for the group, proceeded to en-
Joy themselves, utterly oblivious to the
other passengers. One of the young
ladies ate four large apples, and COM
mencing on a paper of oranges, in a few
minutes diminished the number by five,
which she disposed of fully a
pound of sponge cake, when her appe.
tite becoming satiated, she settled back
in her seat and very gracefully gave her
attention to munching COOLERS, ceas-
ing operations when about a pint of the
fragrant pens had disappeared. Her
were successful in demolishing
what remained, but, in the opinion of the
passengers, this blue-syed, laughing
was entitled to the champion
as a healthy Georgia girl.

How Old japanese BrOnzes arc Made.

A correspondent of the New York
Times las this in q letter from Kioto,
Japan Bronzes and silks come in for a
very large share of the exports of Kioto,
and some of the work IN bronze is of a
superior character. I have heard sew
eral amusing stories about bronzes and
the way they make them here. A mer-
chant of Kobe saw O pair of very old
vases in a Kioto shop I: there was no
doubt about their age, rs they were
eaten here and there by ~verdigris and
the tooth of time-old 7smpus Edar
Rerum. he was surprised at the low
price demanded, and Immediately
bought them, and then asked the shop
keeper if he had any more. The latter
said he had none, but would make them
to order.
"I don't want new vases" was the
reply; 81 want old ones like these"
"Ill make them for you," the shop
keeper answered !; "make them all just
like these
The merchant gave the order, and in
q month he had his new antiques, with
the necessary stamp of 7empus Edar.
He ordered some more, sent the con-
signment to London, and had the salts
faction OF clearing about 400 per cent.
on the Investment. The japanese
maker told him that the process of
venerableizing bronzes was very SIM
pie. "Get strong vinegar" said he,
"and boil them in it a few hours, and
if you want to make them very old add
a little acid" The same process has
long been used at Birmingham in max
ing Waterloo relics and Egyptian an
tiqu1ties, and the japanese have not
been slow to find it out. They are very
clever at limitations of any kind, and if
YOU allow them a little latitude they
will improve upon the model. The
porcelain factory which I mentioned in
a preceding paragraph had limitations
of.all kinds Of ware from Japan and
China, and the proprietor offered to re-
produce any sample which could be
brought. "You can buy plenty of old
ware here" said he, "but you had bet
ter have it made, and then you know
you are not cheated" Very good and
practical advice.

Life of the Harriet Lane.

A recent issue of the New Orleans
Picayuue has the following: There is
now tied up at the wharf, a little above
Jackson street, q three-masted ship,
which attracts by the beauty and sym
metrv of it's appearance. She looks like
Il vessel which is able to cut her way
through the water with exceptional
speed and grace, and the facts do not
contradict the ~seemipgness. She is
sharp and heightened in build. and sug-
gests the idea of about sixteen or seven
teen knots IN hour in a favorable wind.
The vessel is now called the Richie, and
Capt. T. w. Hutchinson, an able and
experienced officer, is at present andha
been for years, her commander. She is
now loading for Boston, and will prob
able leave by the end of next week.
This vessel has got a history which is
entwined with that of the late. struggle
between the North and the South. She
was built in 1858, and launched in 1859,
and the name Harriet Lane was conferred
in honor of the niece Of President Bu-
chanan. She was then a ven cutter,
sidewheel steamer, and performed many
offices Of honor. In 1862 she was cap
tured at Galveston in an extraordinary
way. Approaching the city, protected
by seven guns, she was attacked by two
small vessels, the Bayou City and Nep-
tune. Neither craft had a heavy gun on
board, but had barricades of cotton piled
high, whence they sent the deadly rifle
Oall to the doomed crew of the Harriet
Lane. She responded with her heavy
broadsides and succeeded in sinking the
Neptune (the wreck of which is yet be-
fore Galveston), but she was finally cap
tured, all hands being killed save three,
who were badly wounded. At Galveston
at the time, under the orders of Gen.
Magruder, was a Col. Lee. He was a
confederate, but be had reason to know
that his son was one of the crew of the
hapless federal cutter. Obtaining per-
mission to visit the ship, he found that
his son was among the the Inflated three.
The only consolation, however, he had
was to see the son a few hours afterward
die in his arms. Some time afterward,
when Capt. Hutchinson had assumed
command of the vessel, Col. Lee visited
it, and cried like a child because Of the
memories it had awakened. After the
capture of the Harriet Lane the confed-
crates used her as q blockade runner be-
tween Galveston and Havana. In 1865,
when she was in the harbor Of Havana,
the federal government claimed her from
the Spanish, and after considerable red.
she was given up. Afterwards
she was sold and reconstructed. her
boiler being taken out and her wheels
removed. She was then made a sailing
vessel of, and has since been plying i'll
the merchant service, but the old hull
and much OF the furniture of the Harriet
Lane are still preserved.

Prison Etiquette.

GIVE Years Penal Servitude" is the
title OF a book recently published in
London, and written by zone who
endured it." The London Times says /:
"Two very remarkable pieces of infor-
nation as to life in a prison comes out
in this volume, illustrating the incon-
sistencies 0: human nature, and showing
that the public feeling, if it may be SO
termed, in a convict prison may in some
features be as high as in the best ordered
community. One is that it is MOI
etiquette among prisoners to ask man
what he is Gin for" If a man wants to
be communicative on the subject of his
W affairs that is another thing; but
until he is no qu| Stions are to be asked
ItIappears to III that this custom shows
a delicacy of feeling and a respect for
those who may feel repentance and
shame for their crimes which few would
have expected to find among criminals,
and most certainly indicate that those
who lay down and those who follow such
4 rule Of conduct cannot be altogether and
entirely corrupt and i~rreclaimable. The
other is the respect the men paid to
