VEyKRABLx BUILDING MArRRIAL.-A
New York paper of March 23d had toe
following. written from Dinomau's
Ferry, Penn: Moses @. v. Shoemaker
OF this village, has one Of the newest
houses in Pike county, but its floors are
laid with what Ia undoubtedly the oldest
manufactured lumber in the Union in
actual use for a similar purpose. The
boards are made from yellow pine lum
Der. They are an inch and a ha.f thick
and almost two feet wide. The trees
from which tney we're cut we're felled
along the Delaware river at Dingman's
more than I60 years ago. The boards
were sawed out by hand by ancestors
OF Mr.. Shoemaker, and we're used as the
door in a stone house which they
erected in liza. This building also
served as fort, those early settlers be-
Ing constantly exposed TO Indian raids.
The ancient structure vas demolished Q
year ago 70 make room for the new
Shoemaker residence. IL was in as good
condition IS when first built. There
was not an unsuund stick Of timber in
IL, and not one which had not been In ID
ever since the house was built. No
lumber like the door boards could bs
found in any lumber yard in the State
today, for native yellow pine 10 entirely
extinct. aud yellow pine lumber two feet
vide and an inch snd half thick
would be almost worth its weight in
coin. when the old floor was taken out
Of the stons building Q wealthy PhiIa-
delphian who was spending the summer
al Dinaman's ofeie ed Shoemaker q price
:or the boards which would have almost
paid for the new house. but he refused
% part with them, and used them in
his new residence. To all appearances
they are good for use for another ceutu-
~ and half. From the timbsrs 10 the
old stone house over 100 pounds Of
wrought iron nails were taken. They
were four inches In length, and had svi-
d=ntly been made Of rade implements.
The work Of forging must have been
done on the spot, as there was no place
nearer than Minisink settlement, near
the present site OF Port Jsrvis. where
the nails conld have been obtained, and
that was twenty four miles up the
river.

American Pictures in Paris.


Something of scandal has been created at
the Salon by picture which figures among the
American contributions of the year. 1t is ex-
ceedlugly Indecent SO much so that despite its
high artistic merit which prevented its rejection
by the jury, it was "skyed" as the only method
of alternating its offensiveness. Yet the indel-
icacy of the work might have been removed
with half dozen strokes of the brush 1t was
worse than mistake on the part of it's talented
creator to execute such picture-it was an in
suit to every modest woman that visited the
Salon. And it was so intensely silly for him to
do such thing. TO slightly alter tie old lines
Immodesty admits of no defense,
For want of decency is want of sense.
And the improperly was by no means neces-
sary to the subject, nor was it an integral part
of the painting As l have said before, half a
dozen strokes of the brush would have obliter
ated it. am pleased to learn that number OF
the American pictures have already been sold
and amongst these are numbered Charles
Sprague Pearee's "Love Sorrows" and Miss
Strong's waiting for the Master

The New Wiggle-Waggle.


The new wiggle-waggle, which is equal in its
way to the Grecan bend, or the tilt, is an
achievement of the modern mattress" and
saddle" and not possible without them. 1t is a
movement, a sort of swing from side to side,
which seems to be quite independent of the
bodv, and to be executed only with the machine
ry of the dress skirt, and this is very nearly the
case An inclination forward and slight determi-
nation in walking from side to the other, sets
the machinery in motion and produces the funny
result which any one can see who happens to
walk behind fashionabiy dressed girl on Broad
way If a girl had to look and act like that she
would be pitiable object, but as it is a matter
of choice and dependent upon caprice which
win demand some new form of self-immolaton
shortly. it makes little difference. But no car
feature could do more than justice to the dude
and the BELLE they appear in the street in this
wear of grace 1855

General Butler Toboggans.

Among the Law Makers in June st. Nicholas.
When | first went to Washington the western
approach to the Capitol, before the pending
improvements were commenced, was through
q fine old park, the heavy foliage of which in
spring concealed much of the Capitol from view.
The approach then led up two steep parallel ter
races which extended the whole length of the
building. The pages, in winter time, took ad-
vantage of these declivities for coasting. In
stead of sleds, however, they used certain large
paste board envelope boxes, which they obtained
from the folding rooms
One day the terraces and park grounds were
covered with thick hard coat of sleet so the
envelope boxes were brought out, and the lively
tobogganing began. In the midst of the sport,
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, accompanied by few
other Representatives. came along and stopped
seemed to enjoy the sight, one of the pages
asked him if he would take ride. After a
brief deliberation. the General remarked: well,

Confederate Fear of Mcclellan After Gaines's
Mill.
Gen. D. II. Hill, in June Century.

Mill.
Gen. d. h. Hill, in June Century.
Just before we crossed the Chickahominy
after the battle of Gainess Mill, l asked General
Garland if he remembered what Napoleon said
at AusterlitZ when of his marshals had
begged permission to attack column of the
Austro Russian army which was making flank
movement. Garland replied: i, too, was just think
ing that Mcclellan was saying to his officers as
Napoleon did, when your enemy is making a
false movement, do not strike him till he has
completed It," and it may be that he will gobble
up Richmond while we are away
''The Notifications around Richmond at that
time were very slight He could have captured
the city with but little loss of life. The want of
supplies would have forced Lee to attack him as
soon as possible, with all the disadvantages of a
precipitated movement. But the federal com
mander seems to have contemplated nothing of
the kind; and as he placed the continuance of
the siege upon the hazard of Cold Harbor, he
was bound to put every available man into that
fight.
while we were lying all day idle on the 2Sth
unable to cross the Chickahominy, the clouds of
smoke from the burning plumber in the federal
camps, and the frequent explosions of maya
zines, indicated a retreat but General Whiting
kept insisting upon it that all this was but a
ruse de guerre of Mcclellan preparatory to a
march upon Richmond. / made to him some
such reply as that once made to General Long
street. when a cadet at West Point, by Prof
Kendrick.
'sThe professor asked Longstreet who never
looked at his chemistry, how the carhonic acid
of commerce was made. Longstreet replied:
BY burning diamonds in oxygen gas
Eyes, said Professor Kendrck, that will do
it; but don't you think it would be leetle ex-
pensiveF
"'Dont you think, said to Whiting that
this ruse Of Mcclellan is leetle expensivep

Evangelist Sam Jones.


l have seen many "evangelists," but Sam
Jones, the new Southern preacher. who is
making tremendous sensation in Tennessee
seems to me to be the most honest, sincere and
original OF them all. He is Slight, salow, little
fellow with yellow face, through which aclean-
shaver blue black beard shines He has short,
crisp, black mustache; pleasant smile, which
shows glittering white teeth He has great,
deep, lustrous black eyes, which have sad,
melancholy, retrospective look when at rest
His speech and manner are soft ana quiet. He
dresses in half worn black broadcloth and black
SLOUGH hat. Altogether he looks more like a
Southern gambler who is "guick on the trigger y
and believe he was both gambler and drunkard
in his youth. He is perhaps thirty eight years
old.
He is a Methodist preacher now and his sue
cess is without parallel. The emotional people
of the Tennessee mountings" flock to hear him
by the thousand. He cares nothing for man or
devil but his reverence for God and religion
| amounts to enthusiasm, which he expresses in
brilliant and biting epigram, ready and quaint
wit, in fluent yet forcible, though sometimes
coarse style, which impresses every one, both
educated and ignorant.
Don't think he is Talmage merely a sem
sational preacher He is real and true, and if
he should ever come North he will make big
ger and more genuine impression than any Of
revivasts. for he does not pretend to be on in
innate personal relations with the Deity, does
he offer salvation to every one who listens to
| him. but he makes people think of what they
| ought to do for themselves to be saved Pull
| up your doubts by the roots and you'll find a
seed at the bottom, and that seed is sin ne says
In hit at Ingersoll he says, Opinions run
| the world. That old Colonel-the old ass-will
| say, it's my opinion, and So A dozen young
men who hear him will go off and say, It's my
opinion, so and so.' They get their opinions from
the old Colonel, and he gets his from he'll say to
| them, Shut up, you blab- mouthed FOOLS" If he
ever comes in contact with Ingersoll he will make
| that oleagnous Pharisee's fur fly. He has made
many notable converts. The best known at the
| North is Gen. w. H. Jackson, owner of Belle
| Meade farm, the finest and best stock farm in
| the South, and brother of United States Sena-
| tor Jackson, of Tennessee General Jackson is
and always has been gentleman who has been
| a model husband, father and citizen, and his
public profession of faith has created great SEN
sation in Nashville You will hear more and
better things of Sam Jones by and by.

Deceased Wives Sisters.
Memphis Avalanche,


rhe Southern branch of the Presbyterian
Church has not yet quite placed itself in condi-
ton to marry its deceased wifes sister. Forty
eight Presbyteries took the deceased wife's hus-
bands view of the case, seven were opposed and
fourteen failed to be moved by sentiments OF
regard for deceased wives sisters To alter the
Confession of Faith requires three -fourths.
Meantime ~ many Presbyterian gentlemen as
want to will go on marrying their deceased
wives sisters just as they have always done in
those very rare cases whore they have wanted to.
