Wanted to Know.

The following is verbatim report of conversation that occurred few nights since on one of the Long Island Sound steamboats between @ young lady and young gentleman, evidently lovers or not long married: He Cooking shore wardD-" An, there's New Haven light house." She-"Oh, where? ?" He (pointing)-" There" She" Really ?" He-"Yes." Shells it the light house ?" He" Yes." She" Really ?" He" Yes." She" Is it New Haven ight?" He" Yes" She" How do you know it's the lighthouse He Because I have been there." She Really?" He" Yes." She-"Often P' He" Mo-" She-"Then how can you be sure?" He" Oh, I've been there often enough not to mistake it.' She (reAectively)-" Would you like to live at ight-house?" He-"Yes." She Really ?" He" Yes." She" Why would you like to live there ?" He "Oh, because like to be by the sea. 7" She" Do you not think you would be lonesome?" He-"No." A pause, then he resumes-"'I wouldn't be lonesome if I lived there thousand years-with you.' She (smiling sweetly)-" That's nice." A pause of five seconds, when she resumes-" Why do you think you wouldn't be lonesome there with me ?'' He (quietly)-" Because you would ask so many questions" She Every in- dignantly)-"You ought to be very much hattered that I deem you con- potent to answer questions. When a child was allowed to ask questions, as my mother says it's very wrong to refuse to answer children, and I was encouraged to ask questions" He "So I perceive" The lady stole a quick glance at the gentleman-and there was silence in that part of the steamer for the space olive minutes, when she started new series of queries as to why the steamboat company should not pay back half the fare of an excursion if one desired to return by some other route-but here, although her lovers patience was intending (the lady was very pretty), that of your correspondent was not equally enduring, and he beat & retreat.

Stop My Paper.

We occasionally meet a man in this world who is under the impression that if he "stops his paper he will thus "get even" with the editor for some SUD- posed injury-maybe it is only gentle request for subscriptions past due.
 Some business men, or rather men in some business, are laboring under the same apparition. Why, don't these blissful fellows know that when a man "cuts his paper it causes no commo- tion with the editor? He is used to it. It is only proof that his paper is ap- preciated.
 Aside from that, an editor is very like an ordinary man. He eats, he drinks, he wears clothes (when he can get them they may not be the finest, but he wears them all the same), he wears a hat, he eats vegetables, eats bread, eats meat, and all other indelicacies of the season Sometimes eats crow). No, the editor does not go barefooted (unless he has tol. Periodically speak ing, he is Q man like any other man has feelings like man likes his friends as any other man, and as a rule is not less charitable than other men.
 Now, "stop my paper" man, don't think to hurt our feelings by paying up and quitting. This is very large world, friend, and there are some very large people in it. If we discover that we can't get along without you, why then we will sell out and quit the business.- | Topeka Commonwealth.

A Wonderful Memory.

In the St. Louis Post Office is em ployed man with phenomenal mem- ory. He was taken on in the mailing division about eighteen months ago and given the lowest position. He has several times been promoted on account of his good record, and at his last exam nation gave evidence of his close appli- cation and phenomenal memory. It is customary for the examiner to name the Post Offices in certain amount of ter ritory, and require the examinee to give the location. In this case the employee was examined on the Post Offices of Missouri, of winch there are 1,79O. He did not need to be questioned, but with out prompting named every Post Office in the State and the county in which it is situated, and without missing or mis- taking & Post Office or a county, and did this in thirty minutes.

A Speedy Reconciliation.

The New Bedford, Mass, Mercury relates the following: "Monday even- ing woman came to the Central Sta tion in a furious passion, saying she was about to leave ner husband, that it was impossible for her to live with him any longer, and that she desired an off cer to accompany her to her home, in the near vicinity of the corner of Acush- net avenue and Middle street, that she might remove her personal property without fear of molestation. Her re- quest was granted, and on reaching the house stormy scene ensued. The wife heaped maledictions upon her husband, and made vile accusations, all of which were recriminated by him.
 The wife threw her own clothes into a trunk and hurled his property across the room, and on one occasion the off Ger with difficulty prevented violence, for the wife claimed certain picture in the house, aud the husband the frame which iuclosed it, but finally the article was divided, and the lady left for her mothers house, and the officer repaired to his beat. In less than half an hour the policeman met man and woman coming up the street, chatting g and laugh ing merrily, and to his astonishment found it to be the very pair who had parted in such anger but few minutes before. Tie lady explained to the off ger that-her husband had followed her to her mothers, and at his request she had consented to live with him once more.

To ASsaSSinate Washington.
A CONSPIRACY THAT WAS DETECTED AND
 FRUSTRATED IN 1776.

An attempt made to assassinate Gen. Washington in New York city in 1776 is imperfectly described as follows by James Thatcher, Massachusetts sur geon in the Continental army, in GA Military Journal During tho American Revolutionary War;" under date of Sept, 10, 1776:
 "I have omitted to record tho follow ing incidents till I could ascertain the particulars Of the reports We learn by accounts from New York that some time since plot of most atrocious na- ture was detected in that city. A gang of Tories had associated for the purpose of joining the British army, and had concerted plan, it is said, to assassi- nate his Excellency Gen. Washington, and some other officers; and while our army were engaged with the enemy to blow up our magazines, etc. The Mayor of the city, and an armorer who was engaged in making rifles for the into custody and committed to clo @ prison. The Mayor, upon examination, confessed that he received money from Gov. Tryon to pay the armorer for the rifles. Two of his Excellency's guards were confederates, and third, to whom the secret was contided, honestly dis closed the information. Several of these miscreants were tried and convict ed, and two or three were executed"
 X foot note of this account quotes as follows from one of David Ramsay's histories: "Gov. Tryon had suborned the then Mayor of New York to assist the royal forces on their arrival in that city, and Gen. Washington was to be assassinated. This detestable design was rendered abortive by experimenting Thomas Hickey, one of Gen. Washing tons ifc- c-guard men, who was engaged in the conspiracy, and had engaged others this false miscreant was tried by court martial on the 18th of June, found guilty, and was executed the same day, amid the curses of the American army"
