Paper as a Moth Dsfysr.

Last spring, an ingenious paper maker
of New York took it into his head that
barrels made of pasteboard would be an
invulnerable safeguard against moths. He
reasoned from his observation that fnrriers,
who, for compensation, preserved furs
during the summer months, used no more
elaborate precaution than to swathe the
muffs, boas, ETC., in newspapers, and then
enclose then in air-tight paper boxes.
Times being slack, the observant paper
maker asked questions of the furriers; he
expected to see some Notwithstanding drug
employed. When told that paper alone
was a defence against moths, it occurred
to him that an air tight barrel of PASTE
board would be just the thing for an i'm
pregnable fortress against moths. To ex-
clude the air and light was, after ell, the
sole aim of the fur-guarding furrier.
Nothing could accomplish this object bet
ter than pasteboard barrel. The paper
manufacturer turned out the articles.
They were seamless throughout, except the
head, which fitted down closely; its joints
with the sides of the barrel, forming the
only possible entrance for the destructive
little insects, was pasted over with layer
of brown paper.
Many of thess pastebOard moth-proof
barrels were opened last Fall, and, without
exception, found to have admirably an-
swered the purpose They are 50 light
that lady can easily handle them; they
are cheap, are entirely cleanly, and above
all, are one more triumph for the progress
sive paper makers, who are steadily inva-
ding every department Of everyday life to
add to its comforts, increase its pleasures,
and lower its expenses.

then distinguishable, he was a gallant
looking cavalier-one whom any woman
might admire.
One was gazing at him through the
window young lady of about his own
age, with rosy cheeks, bright eyes, hair
carried back from the forehead, and neck
resembling snow, above the square-cut
bodice. The young colonel reined his
high-spirited horse, nearly throwing him
upon his launches, and made courteous
salute with his right hand Git was nearly
the attitude of bronze statue of him af-
terward) and galloped away, thinking pro-
badly of the bright eyes and lips
"Colonel George Washington, of Mount
Vernon, had seen for his first time Mrs.
Martha Custis, the beautiful young widow,
who, year after, was to become his wife.
Tradition relates that the ceremony took
place in old st. Peters Church, which we
have referred to in the beginning of this
sketch. The scene was 4 brilliant one,
and may interest the reader It was in
January, 1853. The Rev. DR.. Mossom,
parsOn of the parish, attended in full can
onicals, and the pair advanced, followed
by bevy of beauties and groomsmen.
Washington was clad in a suit of blue and
silver, lined with red silk; his waistcoat
was embroidered; his knee and shoe buck
les were of gold; his hair was powdered,
and he wore dress sword The bride
was dressed in white satin, with point lace
rutfies; had pearl ornaments in her hair,
pearl necklace, earrings and bracelets,
white satin shoes, with high heels and
diamond buckles, and was followed, as has
been said, by an array of beautiful and
richly dressed girls, leaning upon the arms
of grOomsmen in costumes as imposing
The vice regal Governor of Virginia, in n
suit of scarlet, embroidered with gold, with
huge bag-wig and dress sword, was seen
in the midst of number of officers of the
English army and navy, and great crowd
of what were then called "the gentry
friends and relations Of the bride and
groom-flled the church, all intent upon
the interesting ceremony" One person
age has been forgotten-Bishop, the old
body servant. He, too, was present.
With folded arms and much emotion on
his aged face, he gazed at the ceremony
with the rest.
1t soon ended, and the brilliant crowd
flowed forth from the old church. Tradi-
tion relates that the bride and as many of
the fair attendants as could do so, entered
the great chariot, while the bridegroom,
fonder of horseback, mounted the splendid
English charger, bequeathed to him by
Braddock, and cantered after the coach,
attended by number of gallant youths.
Such was the picturesque scene in the
life of the "Father of his country" We
see so much of the great soldier, statesman
and ruler, that it is pleasant to catch a
glimpse at the lover and bridegroom.
But the great oaks and old church, lost
in the wilds of New Kent, are still there.
Beneath the trees flashed that brilliant
cortege of old days-in that building
George Washington placed the ring on the
finger of his bride. All has passed away
now. The stately and beautiful figures
have long lain down in their tombs, but
the stubborn trunks with their ancient in
scriptions, remain to recall the life of the
past.

There are probably few, however famil-
lar with the subject of the rapid increase
of capital put at interest, who would not
be startled at the statement that the cost
of the outfit of Christopher Columbus in
his first voyage of discovery, put at inter-
est at six per cent, would by this time
have amounted to more than the entire
money Ualle Of this continent, together l0ith
the accumulation from the industry Of all
soho hare iUed upon It. If any doubt this,
let them reckon the amount, estimating
the entire outfit to have cost only the small
sum of FIVE thousand dollars, and remem-
bering that money doubles at six per cent,
in little less than twelve years-or accu-
rately, in eleven years, ten months, and
twenty-one days. Allowing it to double
every twelve years, this FIVE thousand dollars
at interest at six per cent. since 1892, it will
be found, would have amounted to S17,-
895, ,700,000,000; which estimating the
population of the entire continent of
America North and South to be eighty
five millions, or seventeen million families
(ayeraging FIVE members each, } would give
more than million dollars as the possess
sion of every one of these. The interest
upon a million dollars at six per cent, is
sixty thousand dollars, which would now
be the princely annual income of each of
these seventeen million families from the
accumulations up to this time upon so
small sum as that named for the outfit
of the discoverer.
In Hildreths "History of the United
States, it is stated that Manhattan Island
-afterward called New Amsterdam, now
the City of New York-was bought by
the Dutch from the Indians, for sixty
guilders, or tI0enty.toav dollars 1924, } and
this only aboU. two hundred and fifty
years ago. And yet if the purchasers
could have securely placed that s24 where
it would have added to the principal an
nually interest at the rate of z per cent,
the accumulation would exceed the pres
ent marke: value Of all the real estate of
the City and County of New York.
Again, if man at the age of twenty
FIVE should commence business with cap
ital of one hundred thousand dollars, and
could by any possibility add thereto inter-
est at our legal rate of Z per cent. annual
ly, the result would be IN (round numbers)
as follows:

A Comedy of Errors.

Here is an amusing comedy of errors
with a Partisan edge: Nine. de v. was
very jealous, and determined to watch her
husband. One day he told her he was
going to Versailles, and when he went out
she put on her bonnet and followed him.
She stood for few minutes in the passage
looking about, and suddenly saw a man
coming out of glove shop with a rather
overdressed lady. From the distance she
made sure the man was her husband, and
without word of warming she gave him
three or four sounding boxes on the ear
When the gentleman turned around to
confront his assailant, she perceived that
she had made a mistake, and at the same
time she caught sight of her husband, who
had replenished his cigar at tobacco
nist's and was crossing the street. What
could she do? 1t goes on with saying
that she tainted in the arms of the stran-
ger whose ears she had boxed, while the
other lady ran off as fast as she could to
avoid scandal. The stranger, who was a
comedian, was astonished to find an un-
known woman in his arms, and while his
ears were still tingling from her blows, he
was again startled A gentleman collared
him, and shaking him roughly asked him
what he meant by embracing lady in the
street. Why, she boxed my ears and
tainted p screamed the actor. "She is
my wife" shouted the irate husband, "and
would never have struck you without
cause p The infuriated gentlemen shook
their fists under each others noses until
the lady, who had been carried into shop,
recovered sufficiently to explain how it
had happened.
