Mean Honesty.

George came running in to the house
one day, sobbing as though his heart
would break.

She said what is the matter p but

He Was a Retail Customer.

a correspondent residing inPortland, /,
Maine, in sending a renewal of his SUBJ

the crowd of ladies and gentlemen until
he got facing one of the clerks who was

Marriage Of Presidents.

The only instanceof President mar
rying second time is that of John
Tyler, who was too bashful to kiss his
first wife during their engagement, but
was bold enough to marry young girl
shortly after her death in the White
House. The first three Presidents mar
ried widows, and Washington had one
or two loye affairs before he got Martha
Custis. Washington seemed to make
it principle to fall in loye with moth.
ing but neiresses, and he got nice lot
with Martha Custis, who used to tell
him she brought the money into the
family. Jefferson was good match
while he was in the White House. He
was widower and true to his first
wife. Martin Van Buren, was also a
widower President, but though he said
sweet things without number, he did
not talk love. Jackson's wife was bur-
led in the dress made for her White
House receptions, and Arthur put a
memorial window to his wife in St.
Johns Church while he was President,
and also sat in her old pew.

How Stanton Tapped" the Tele
graph.

Major Johnson, of Washington, who
was Secretary Stanton's confidential
clerk, said the other day: about
one of the first acts of great import
ance which Stanton did was to estab-
hsh the headquarters of the telegraph
of the United States in the War De-
partm cnt. This meant that all the
telegraphic communications with re-
lation to the war should pass directly
into the hands of this amazing Secre-
tary. At his orders / made record
of every telegram from and to the
President, from and to oil the Secre-
taries, from all the Generals in the
field, to any and every body A rec
ord was kept of all the dispatches sent
by General-in-chief Hallock, by Gen.
eral Grant, and all the commanders of
the army of the Potomac, and by Gen.
eral Sherman, and all the generals of
the West. The dispatches of the Sec
retary of the Navy and all the move
ments of his gunboats were put on
record, and all cipher dispatches re-
ceived at the War Department deci-
phered by General Eckart, and record
ed by me. Every wire in the country
was tapped and its contents run into
the War Department and made mat
ter of record if it in any way related
to the war or was in cipher. The tel
egraph operators of the department.
under this censorship, became the
most expert, probably, in the world,
and they now hold high positions in
their profession. They were Bates,
Tinker and Chandler. Some of the
dispatches in cipher intercepted were
from corps commanders in the field
relating to gold speculations in New
York"

a Good Example.

In cutting down our trees, we have
been in danger of destroying the great
est of our heritages. In Prussia and
Germany the laws relating to the for
estry exhibit the wisest forethought on
the part of the government, and the
people sustain it in every offort to pre-
serve what other generations had we'll
nigh deprived them of. These nations
set US an example which 1t would be
wise to consider. Their laws have Civ

The i'll results of the old denuding pro.
cess are rapidly disappearing, showing
that natures capillary clothing must
be respected, for utilitarian as well as
sentimental reasons. In the United
States the general fashion of extrava-

largely due to ignorance. Only lately
has the scientific man impressed upon
him of averageintelligence the necessity
of tree-preservation and the desirabili-
ty of using other materials than lum-
ber for many purposes in which wood
was formerly considered indispensable.

Moravian Customs.

The Moravans have settlements
not only in Germany, but also in Eng.
land, Switzerland and America. They
hold nearly all the doctrins Of Luther.
TIER largest settlement, called Herrn
hut is in Saxony, and the Moravians
in many parts of Germany bear the
name of Herrnhunter. In each COM
munity there are two houses set apart
one for the unmarried men, called the
"Brothcr's house." and the other for
all unmarried sisters or widows who
wish to enter them.
The Moravians cannot marry with
out the consent of the elders of their
church, and in some eases the bride
groom has been chosen for the bride.
They seldom marry outside the COM
munity, and their engagements are
nearly as solemn as the marriage. The
weddings are very simple, the sister
wearing but black dress with O
white lace handkerchief, and her pref
ty cap with its pale pink ribbon, which
is changed afterwards for pale blue
ribbon when the ceremony is finished
There are always two rings at a we'd

The Moravians wear no Grape nor
mourning for their dead, and they
speak of them as blessed, and of dead
as "going home" They cell the
graveyard Gods acre" and they
take the greatest care of their graves.
But there also is the division, as in
the Church, for the men are buried on
one side of the cemetery and the wo'
men on the other.
The Moravians are all well educat.
ed, and the poorer brethren amongst
them enjoy the same privileges in their
excellent schools as do the richer
brethren. Life amongst the "Uuited
Brethren" is simple and unartiicial,
love to God and man being their first
principle and many who have lived
amongst them bear in their hearts @
loving memory of their goodness, and

Tammany in Early Days.

We in this calmer age can have no
conception of the intense hatred for
European symbols and usages that

Unleavened Bread or the Passover,


The "Pesach" festival or Jewish
Passover is the only festival in which
"matzos" is the only bread allowed.
The bread is unleayened, and there
are now four cities in America with
unleavened bread bakeries New 7 ork,
New Orleans, Chicago and Cincinnati.
In order to supply the demand these
bakeries begin baking two months be-
fore the beginning of the Passover.
The matzos look like the ordinary
hard-tack, except that they are foot
square. They are made of -four and
water, and contain no other ingredi-
ents. After the -four has been knead-
ed into a stiff dough, a lump of it con.
tanning about fifty pounds is placed on
great block of wood and pressed in
to a thick sheet with great beam
which is fastened to the block at one
end by an iron link and staple. The
sheet is next placed under an iron
roller, from which it emerges into O
long ribbon. 1t passes through sew
eral rollers until it is thin enough for
baking. 1t is then stamped and cut
into unbaked matzos, which are plac-
ed upon wooden tray having q long
handle and deposited in an oven. In
three minutes they are done, white
and crisp.
