WASHINGTON on PROFANITY. -Boyn-
tons History of West Point contains
the following order issued 10y General
Washington 100 years ago:
HEADQU AKrERs MooBE's House,,
WEST PoTSr, July -, 1779.
Many and pointed orders have been
issued against the unmeaniug aud
abominablc custom Of swearing, not
withstanding which, with much regret,
the General observes thatEi prevails,
il possible, more than ever; his feel
ings are continually wounded 10y the
oaths aud imprccations Of soldiers
whenever he ia in hearing OF them.
The name OF that Being from whose
bountiful goodness we are permitted
10 exist and enjoy the comforts Of life,
is necessarily imprecated and profaned
in a manner as wanton as 1t Is shock
ing. For the sake, therefore, OF rclig
ion, deccncy. and order, the general
hopes aud trusts that officers Of every
rank will use their influence and au-
thority 10 check a vice which is as un-
profitable as il is wicked aud shameful.
If officers would make IL an unavoid-
able rule 90 reprimand. and, II that
does not do, punish soldiers for of.
/ fenses of tins kind. IL could not fail OF
. having the desired effect.

The woman was Old and ragged and gray,
And bent with the chill OF the winters day;
The street was wet with recent snow,
And the woman's feet were aged and slow.
Alone, uncared for. amid the throng
OF human beings who passed her by,
Nor heed the glance OF her anxious eye.
Down the street, with laughter and shout,
Glad In the freedom OF "schoOl let out"
Came the boys IKE a fock OF sheen,
lIailing the snow piled white and deep.
Past the old woman so old ami gray

Nor offered a helping hand 10 her,
SO meek, so timid. afraid TO stir
Lest the carriage wheels or horses feet
Should crowd her down In the slippery street.
At last came one OF the merry troop
The gayest lafldie of all the group:
lie paused beside her. and whispered low,
"lll help you across, II you wish 10 CO."
Her aged hand on his strong ycang arm
She placed, aud so, without hurt or harm,
lie guided the trembling feet along,
Proud that his own were irm and strong.
Then back again 60 his frienls he went.
His young heart happy ana well content.
''Shcs somebody's mother, boys, Won know,
For all she's aged and poor and slow;
And hope some fellow will lend a hand
To help my mother, you understand,

BEATING OLD VANDERBILT.
Asi5O Lightning Trip to n Mothers
bedside.

IL is not generally known nor are the
exact details obtained, that last Sunday
witnessed very extraordinary railway
feat on the Lake Shore road between
Chicago and Ere, Pa. It seems that
Capt. Shepard, Chicago gentleman,
was advised 10y telegraph that his
mother in Erie, Pa, was dying. The
trains had all gone, and he applied TO
Lake Shore folks for a special train TO
run through as fast as possible, and ar
ranged tho price TO be $40. They
started ont at once from the Lake
Shore depot, with the gentleman and a
conductor as the solitary occupants OF
one coach drawn by good locomotive.
Good time was made To Air Line june
tiOn, at which point they changed en-
gines. and engineer g. A. Topliif went
on, with engine No. 1863. This is one
Of the Lake Shores own make, and it
proved that test Of their endurance
was 10 be made more severe than any
before. IL was found that to have a
track entirely clear, there was only two
hours aud fifty minutes 10 CollingwoOd
near Cleveland. Topin pulled her
throat wide open, and away they flew,
and after making in all eleven stops,
reached Collingwood in trO hours and
MTty.6re minutes. Twenty-six minutes
we're consumed in eleven stops, leaving
the exact running time tnO hours ant
nine minutes. The distance is about 100
miles; but comparatively, TO be exact,
the run beat Vanderbilts famous time
on a recent trip, two minutes.
IL is said that at every stop TOpiiii
had kilograms that he was running too
fast, but did not heed them, and soon
after was called to Superintendent
Paine's office. Mr.. Paine is a stern old
fellow. He turned an eye on the engi-
neer aud said: "Are you the engineer
who run TO Cleveland on - spec
ial?"
"Yes, sir.
"Didn't you run too fast?"
"Wall, / don't know. L had 10 jog
along a little.
"How fast did you run?'
"Wall, / don't exactly know, but /
could figger it out in a little while.
"Topliff, said the stern superintend-
ent, could You have run your engine
any faster"
Eyes, sir; / know / ceuld, was the
quick answer, "pervided the ties and

HEAD OF the Dynasty.
A Paris dispatch states that a dele
CATION Of Bonapartists from Marseilles,
Lyons and other parts Of southern
France have waited on Prince Jerome
Napoleon. They presented him with
an address, accepting him as the legal
head Of the BonapaItist family, and as
the rightful leader Of the imperial par.
ty. The Prince made an address,
which had evidently been carefully
studied and prepared He declared
himslf the head of the Bonapartist
family and dynasty. This, be said,
was 10y no act Of his own; IL was simply
the result Of the rules Of succession es-
tablished by Napoleon L.. and now
brought 10 bear in his own case by the
death Of the late prince imperial. As
head Of the family and of the dynasty,
he would know how 20 fulfill its duties,
aud he trusted that in the end the YER

discharged them we'll and faithfully.
But, he continued. II must be allow

the Bonapartist family, I emphaiically
oppose and discountenance every in
trigue which may be set on foot for
the purpose of placing the Bonapartists
in position inconsistent with their
origin, their duties and their cause. "
The address was received with many
expressions Of appreciation. The prince
entertained the delegates and conyers-
ed informally with them upon the pros
poets Of the party. IL is understood
that the party Of the prince has receiv-

DR. HULLs PECULIAR PRACTICE. -.
The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia times says Of DIR. Hull.
the husband Of the victim OF Cox: This
DIR. Hull. yOu remember, was accused
among other things. of hankering after
ballet girls--poor devils-and spending
his time ON the stage. He did, but he
was paid to do il. He was engaged
years ago 10y Jarrett q Palmer TO az
tend every night 10 look out for pa
roxysmal ladies' of the ballet These
girls are very peculiar. One moment a
girl will stand in perfect health, kick
her heels higher than her head and
chew gum like lOtus-eater. The next,
without any warning whatever, behold
her squirming, kicking with convul-
sions on the floor. They froth at the
month, stiffen out like rails, bite like
mad dogs, and tear their hair Then
they quietly come ont Of the fit, send
for a glass of beer aud ego on" as live
ly az crickets. IL was DR.. Hull's duty
TO be on hand 10 watch these curious
creatures and catch them on the fly.
He was very successful in treating
them and his services we're in constant
demand.

COMPLETE RESUMPTION

Yesterday was really the begin
ming of new era in this country.
In accordance with instructions
rom the Secretary of the Treasury.
all persons presenting Government
checks or drafts for payment are
now paid, in whole or in part, in
cold, at the option of the payee
THAT is resumption indeed, IN the
hest sense of the term. Hitherto
this has not been done anywhere
Resumption has meant the exchange
of rreenbacks for coin at one par
ticular place, the New York Sub
Treasury.
That was all the act of Congress
contemplated and provided for, and
all the exchange the Secretary could
authorize. But it was an arbitrary
and not very satisfactory sort of re-
sumption. 1t did not cover the
whole ground nor meet the entire
demand. It afforded the banks out
side of New York good excuse for
charging "a premium for gold, on the
ground that in order to get it they
had to pay expressage from New
York That excuse exists no long
cr. Now wherever the Government
makes payments it pays gold if ask
to do SO We therefore have re-
sumption without the slightest en-
croachinent upon the greenback, or
tending TO its banishment from the
channels of trade.
1t Would be interesting to know
how much gold the Government paid
out the first day under this new sys-
TEN, and where The news by tele-
graph does not give this Information.
The result at Chicago is known,
however Although every daily
newspaper announced the new poll
cy in advance, not a single dollar in
gold was called for by any payee
during the entire day. This is a
truly remarkable showing It proves
q complete absence of anything like
popular demand for gold in the
place ofpaper money, 50 long as the
latter rests upon a geld basis and is
redeenabIe in coin.
1t may be said that preference is
still shown New York in the way CT
resumption. 1t is true that in the
matter Of exchanging paper for coin,
partiality is given, under the law, to
that city. Whether that partially
was necessary or not, it is impossi-
be to say If it was at the outset
Of resumption, it is no longer. The
one thing necessary to complete an
equitable resumption is for the Gov
orument to meet all of its obliga-
l.oua in coin, ii the payee desires
coin; in paper money if the payee
pre.els it, That is the whole of it.

necessary now, but it might be well
to have it, and to have it as q sub
