AS the hour for opening the meeting

said:
"Gem'len, it am my painful dooty to

Washington's Quarrel With
Payne.

1T was in that era, said Mr.. Brock
ct, the white whiskered auditor of
Alexandria, in which Washington
had his quarrel with Lieutenant
Payne. We were standing at win
dow on the second floor Of the market
house and looking down into the
great open court which it surrounds.
The court is filled with hundreds of
little wooden booths, where the farm
ers bring their produce and display it
for sale on every market day. The
meat stalls are in the building itself,
but the whole is of comparatively re-
cent date, and in Washington's time
the place was an open market space.
The cause of the trouble contin-
ued Mr.. Brocket, was political. There
was contest for the Virginia Assem-
bly,, and Payne held one political
theory, while Washington held anoth-
er. Payne was himself G candidate
for the Legislature against Fairfax, of
Alexandria. Washington supported
Fairfax, and when he met Payne he
had hot political discussion with
him on the spot which you see just
below you. Payne considered him
self insulted by one of Washington's
remarks and knocked him down. The
moment the assault was over the story
went like lightning through the town
that Colonel Washington was killed,
and his troops, who were stationed
with him at Alexandria at the time,
rushed in. They would have made
short work with Payne if Washington
had not prevented them, and, pointing
to bis black eye, told them that it was
his affair and he knew how to manage
it. They thought this meant duel,
and the next day the town was on the
qui vtue in regard to the affair. The
following morning Payne got note
from Washington asking him to come
to the hotel. Payne, expecting duel,
did so, but he found Washington with
his head tied up, in an amica BILE mood.
He said as Payne entered, and doubt
not he had his words cut and dried
before hand: Mr.. Payne, to err is
human. l was wrong yesterday, but
if you have had sufficient satisfaction
let us be friends There was a decan-
ter of wine and two glasses on the ta-
BILE, which Washington had ordered
to smooth over the trouble. The two
pledged themselves to new friendship
over this, and history relates that they
remained strong friends to the day of
Washington's death. Colonel Payne
was one of the pall-bearers at Wash
ington 3 funeral" Cleveland Ledg-

She Shamed the Burglar.


One night lately. at the Home OF the
Merciful Saviour for Crippled Children,
in Philadelphia, between the hours of l
and 2,Sister Sarah was aroused by hear
ing chair fall over below stairs. Has
tily putting on her wrapper, lamp in
hand, she descended to the parlor. Her
first glance revealed an open window at
the back part of the room. A small
part Of this parlor is curtained off. The
curtain was parted, and Sister Sarah
thought it moved. Approaching it,she
found herself face to face with a white
man, tall and stout. Fixing her eyes
upon him she said: "The Chinese have
a saying that to some men hearts have
been given, and to some q gizzard in
stead of heart" And with look OF
scorn she continued "You have come
to house as thief where there are on
" crippled children and few women
to take care of Them" The man drew
his hat over his eyes and leaped out OF
the window.

Let everything that stands in any
danger of being frozen be quickly and
thoroughly stored in the frost proof
cellars. Before the fruit. potatoe, &c /.
are stored away great care should be
exercised in seeing that there is no
danger of the temperature in the stor-
age room becoming so low as to freeze
these things. Some cellars that are
open and unsuitable for the storing of
vegetables and fruits can be made per-
fectly frost proof by being coated
heavily with cement. This will cost
but little, as any farmer can put it
on himself, and in fact every cellar
should be cemented, whether there is
danger of its contents freezing or not.

The German voters of Ohio were
largely alienated from the republican
party by what they supposed were its
affiliations in thepast with the unprac-
teal and impracticable theories of the
prohibitionists. The Germans are EN-
inently q practical people. They
have no sympathy with attempts to ac-
complish the impossible; soarings after
the infinite and divings after the un-
fathomable in public legislation find
little support among them. But, as
soon as the republican party declare
squarely and without reservation in
favor of the practical temperance
measure of the proper taxation and
regulation of the liquor traffic, the
German voters returned to the Repub-
lican party and helped greatly to give
it the splendid victory achieved last
Tuesday. BY their votes they showed
that they are in favor of promoting
temperance through the reasonable
taxation and salutary regulation of the
liquor traffic, This is, probably, the
view Of the subject they will take
everywhere, If the matter is honestly
presented. Def Post.

Now is the the time to decide wheth
er the cows are to bring in profit for
their years keep If they are allowed
to fall off iu their flow of milk at this
season of the year, then there can be
no profit to the dairyman for oil the
care and feed he has bestowed upon
them. During the summer months
milk and butter were so low that no
profit could be made; but now prices
are beginning to advance, and the
cows are In full milk during the win
ter, there may be considerable profit
made to cheer the owner, When pri-
ces are highest is the time to make the
most from the product, even at a
slight increase in the cost of produc-
ton. This is the way i'm the produc-
ton Of milk and butter; often the
price Of the product is more than
doubled, while the cost is not greatly
in excess of the time when prices are
lowest. Then It Is evident that every
effort should be made to have the
largest flow Of milk come ia the winter
months - &ocfm0D.

In the II. L. Church in this city the

be complained of-as to evenness-

if it cost us a small sum to assist in

congregation is small in disagreeable
weather, rs sinners prefer to stay at

the risk of an early death by catching
cold, even if contracted in the line of

the needed improvement and it should
be done without any further delay.

There is going to be an election next
month in Virginia and an election in
iowa. Nobody doubts that every
democrat in Iowa who is entitled by
law to vote will be permitted to vote

But everybody doubts whether every
republican in Va. who is by law emit
tied to vote will be permitted to vote
freely, and will have his vote honestly
counted, let the result be what it may.
What the republican party contends
for is simply that there shall be the
same freedom and honesty in elections
in the South as in the North-in Vir-
ginia as in Iowa. And this just and
proper demand is not answered, and
cannot be silenced, by crying out
