THE INTEREST," BEARING CERTIFICATES.
The issue of the new certificates of SO
each, bearing four per cent interest, has not
as yet attracted the attention which the
Importance of the step warrants. Thus far,
only coupon certificates are issued, but the
Treasury Department announces that arrange
ments will presently be made TO issue
registered certificates also. AS the GER
tifcates of either class can be funded,
with all accrued interest, in the four
per cent bonds, of which very many are
issued of only $50 each, there does not seem
to be reason for expecting great demand for
the smaller registered notes. Moreover, in

The case of Justice Pinckney has been sub
mitted to the General Term, and further COM
ment may be out of place. But where man
has been so clearly vindicated as this much
berated iurist, it can hardly be breach of
propriety to say so. His counsel have proftea
by the example of the individual who knew a
certain miracle had been committed because
he had seen the very spot where 1t took
place. and have overturned all the charges of
intoxcatiOn by producing large number OF
persons who never saw Justice Pinckney
drink Inasmuch as the Judges of the Gene
raj Term are probably in the same category
with these witnesses, their decision in the
Justices favor must follow as matter of
course.

The kaleidoscope of the walking match
made no startling changes yesterday, having
apparently exhausted its capacity for extraOr-
binary evolutions the day before. The
chief incident of interest during the
day was the unexpected gain of En-
mis- upon Hartman, the American champion.
Predictions are current that the latter will
not be able to regain his place, thus coming
in last and the tail-feathers of the American
eagle are supposed, as a result, to be dropping
in an extremely melancholy manner. There
seem to be so many people in GilmoIe's
Garden who are really anxious for the
welfare and credit of the National fowl, that
we venture to suggest to them one way Of
increasing his self-respect, at least 1t
is to abstain from kissing the plucky
little Englishman who is plodding along
at the head of the race, with few friends and
no applause Let the audiences show him that
a love Of fair play is not an exclusively Brit
ish emotion, and the American bird Will be
better able TO sustain the international agonies
of defeat.

around her neck.
This visit was the first of many. Under
the new inspiration Of loving friendship
the minister's sermons and the milliner's
bonnes prospered alike.
Afler hard weeks work, it was a deli
cious rest to walk to the little country
church and sit in the pew with Ruth and
Sally, listening to the gospel of faith ;pnd
charity.
A trip in town. stroll among books
and pictures, and an early tea with his
new friend, made life for weeks to come
easier and sweeter to the minister.
And so it fell out that, by-and-by, they
concluded that it would bc wiser on the
whole 10 make one family.
There was milliner needed mt Hunt
Corners, as well as wife, mother and
housekeeper; and Mary Grant undertook
with remarkable cheerfulness. this fourfold
relation. The machinery of the household
began running with great regularity and
precision from the day that tho minister
married the widow. The new wife made
dainty bonnets and pretty trihes of lace

minister worked in his study, and Ruth
went to school.

How THE BATTLE GROUND OF THE
WILDERNESS LOoKS.-I went over the
Wilderness route. writes correspondent
of the CiacinnaH Enquirer,in sight almost
all the wav of the leading roads on which
Lees army had moved out from behind
the Rapidan to strike Grant in the line of
march for Richmond At this time no
railroad existed through the wilderness. A
narrow gauge railroad of very rough quail
ity, about thirty nine miles long, now
reaches the whole distance from Orange to
Fredericksburg, passing within sight OF
| Charlottesville, within IL short distance OF
the Wilderness tavern. and crossing Mine
Run, where Meade lost so much time, on
high, frail trustle; the railroad also
crosses the lines of march of Grant after
he left his camps around Culpeppeer and
crossed the RapiLan to Raccoon and Ger
mania fords.
The Wilderness at the present day has
only changed as far as building small
station houses and incipient towns along
the railroad goes. 1t is one of the poorest
pieces of country in Virginia, originally
dug over to find surface iron ore; these ore
pits have been changed by the rains into
gullies, which figured in the btttles there
about. All the trees in sight are either a
sickly otk or Il stunlcd pine. There are
few creeks of any kind running from the
Wilderness proper until you come to the
sources of the Mauapony, where the
country grows more fertile.
The Wilderness people are generally ;
low order of white, II rather better order
of negroes, and once or twice we encount-
cred in sunbonnets some quite pretty Vir-
ginia girls. This region is sort of hill
land, between the sources OF various
rivers, whose original soil of Il clay mouc
was washed off by the heavy rains, and
has long ago disappeared into the river
bottoms.
They were getting out railroad ties at
about every point we saw in the Wilder
ness, and also hoop staves-the former tc
90 to Europe. All the bodies on Wilder
ness and Charlottesville battlefeds bavc
been dug up and removed to the GENE
teries ut Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg
those beautiful cemeteries where almost
all the dead are unknown, but which alone
embellish this evil country, the deadly
mud-hole of the world.

CONVERSATIONAL PROPERTIES. The
terms genteel people'-this, that, or the
other is "very genteel " are terms not TO
be used, or very seldom. Substitute for
them such words as highly accomplish
cd" good taste" gentlemanly," etc.
1t is not well for a lady to say Eyes sir"
and "no sir" to gentleman acquaint-
ance. or frequently to introduce the word
sill" " at the end of her sentences, unless
she desires to be exceedingly reserved
towards the person with whom she is
conversing. Such words as 81 guess,
{" | calculate" and | reckon "are to be
avoided ms much as possible; and, when
relating conversation, IL is scarcely re-
fined to use the expression says he" or
says she,H or lyon know" interrupt
ing one who is speaking, even though 1t
be an intimate friend, is graceless and I'M
becoming. Laughing ut ones own story,
is IL short way of spelling tiff it have
any wit it will be appreciated. Speaking
of any person who is at a distance within
sight, it is rude manners to point at him.
Forgetting names, or mistaking one name
for another, often indicates ill-mannered
heedlcssness-thus,t to say, Mr.. What-d 'ye-
call him, or, You-knowwho, What s-her-
name, or, How-dye-call her. Another
most offensive practice. is that OF taking IA
person aside to whisper in room where
there is company. Looking one another
in tie face in conversation is essential to
secure lie and interest. In speaking OF
ourself and another person, whether he is
absent or present, propriety requires US to
mention ourselves last, in all cases and
under all circumstances; thus we should
say, he and l." " You and |,

AMERICAN WIT.-The ready wit of
many Yankee may be trusted to give n
Roland for an Oliver to any foreigner who
ventures on sarcasm against his country.
An amusing illustration was recently
given in a trip to the Pacific. A Yankee
and an Englishman were fellows-travelers,
and had become quite sociable through the
forced companionship of several days.
The Englshman evidently thought more
of the grand scenery and vast resources of
the country than of the culture and good
manners of the people, nor did an undue
modesty restrain the free utterances OF his
opinion
The Yankee took it all in good part,
giving a sly thrust now and then at the
weak points of motherland. AS they
passed through the Rocky Mountains.
they saw that many of the grandest views
were disfgured by huge advertisements
on the sides of the cliff. The Englishmen
pointed at them with intense disgust The
Yankee, no doubt, sympathized with him.
but the opportunity was too good to be
lost, and he coolly retorted:
81 guess that is not so bad rs some of
YOUR people, who have tried to advertise
themselves on the planet Mars!' referring
to the names of Englishmen given to seas
and mountains discovered in the planet.
The Englishman laughed, and concluI-
ed that it was not necessary to make any
reply.

The watchers we're weary, and train time was Nigh

We laid the three gently upon the white bed.
And tendery pillowed each sorrowful head.
The lips were all silent, and soft were the sighs;
Thelashes we're hiding the beautiful eyes:
On the right lay the dark that rippled with gold
On the left flowed the silver that never was told.
And the ring of the raven between.
The brown eyes said closing" hope you'll be late;"
The blue eyes yet trembled"How long you waltz
The gray, dark with pleading closing in prayer
The hush Of II is angel was stilling the air.
The brown hands lay crossed and In their place
The white handslay lost iu the fold of the lace;
In velvet aud dmples, the hand that was stirred;
The breath of the sleepers was all that heard,
And the shrek of the incoming train.

The lips that were pouting turned to them thrice,
Then hurried forth in the pitiless rain
And into the night on the outgoing train
But think while bent over tresses and hands
All my heart tstrings caught by the mottonless

For wherever wait and wherever roam
They are driving me on, they are drawing me home,
While dream of the brown, blue and gray.

LABoR-SAvING BoRAX.-The washer
women of Holland and Belgium, SO pro-
verbally clean, and who get up their linen
so beautifully white, use refined borax as
washing powder instead of soda, in the
proportion of large handful of pulver-
lied borax, to about ten gallons of boiling
water. They save in soap one-half. All
other large washing establishments adopt
the same mode. For laces, cambrics, etc..
an extra quantity of the powder is used,
and for crinolines (required to be made
very stiff) "A strong solution is necessary.
Borax, being neutral salt, does not in
the slightest degree injurc the texture OF
the linen; its effect is to soften the hardest
water and it should be kept on every toilet
table. To the taste it is rather sweet, is
used for cleaning the hair, is an excellent
dentifrce, and in hot countries is used
with tartaric acid and bicarbonate of soda
as cooling beverage. Good tea cannot
be made from hard water; all water can
be made soft by adding teaspoonful oI
pulveriged borax to an ordinary sized
kettle of water, in which 1t should boil
