George washington's COurtship.

Near the end of May, 1858, Washing.
ton was ordered by the quartermaster-
general of the British forces to leave
Winchester and make all haste to Will
hamsburg, there to explain to the gov.
ernor and council in what q desperate
condition the Virginia troops were as re-
garded clothing and equipments. Ac.
cordingly he set out on horseback, ac-
companied by his servant Billy Bishop.
The two men had reached Williams
ferry, on the Pamunkey river, and had
crossed on the boat, when they met Mr..
Chamberlayne, Virginia gentleman, liv-
ing in the neighborhood. The hospitable
planter insisted that Washington should
as once go to his house. 1t was fore
noon, and dinner would be served as
usual, early, and after that Colonel
Washington could go forward to Will
liamsburg, if go he must. Beside all
that, there was charming young widow
at his house-Colonel Washington must
have known her, the daughter of John
cambridge, and the wife of John Parke
Custis. Virginia hospitality was hard to
resist. Washington would stay to din
ner if his host would let him hurry of
Immediately afterwad
Bishop was hidden to bring his mas.
ter's horse around after dinner in gooo
season, and Washington surrendered
himself to his host. Dinner followed,
and the afternoon went by, and Mr..
Chamberlayne was in excellent humor,
as he kept one eye on the restless horses
at the door. and the other on his guests,
the tall Indian-like officer and the
graceful, hazel-eyed, animated young
widow. Sunset came, and still Wash
ington fingered. Then Mr.. Chamber
layne stoutly declared that no guest was
ever permitted to leave his house after
sunset. Mrs. Martha Custis was not the
one to drive the soldier away, and so
Bishop was hidden to take the horses
back to the stable. Not till the next
morning did the young colonel take his
leave. Then he dispatched his business
promptly at Williamsburg, and whenever
he could get an hour dashed over to
White House, where Mrs. Gusts lived
So prompt was he about this business,
also, that when he returned to Winches-
ter he had the promise of the young
widow that she would marry him as soon
as the campaign was over.-St. Nicholas.

A Ton of Executive Officers.

A Washington letter to the Cincinnati
Times Star says. An assertion that the
President and his Cabinet weigh nearly
ton would seem at first appearance
rather startling one, but it is not so far
from the fact. Mr.. Manning weighed
at the time of his attack 225 pounds.
He had gained over twenty-five pounds
since he came into his position at the
treasury. The President is not much
behind him in weight. They are very
much alike in figure, height, and gen
eral physical peculiarities There are
several of the Cabinet members who
must weigh nearly 200 pounds each.
Secretary Lamar is tall, broad -shouldered,
and well developed physically, and
must tip the beam at about that figure.
Garland is big man, very tall and mus
cular He is not far from 200 in weight.
Bayard is not far behind him, neither is
Endicott. Villas and Whitney must av-
erage up about 175 pounds each. Put
the eight--the President aud his Cabi-
net-on the scales, and you will find
they do not fall many hundredweight
below ton.

Shears with two blades and a spring

sheep hair and hedges.

be employed judiciously, so as not to

Frauds Upon Farmers.

The correspondents of the agricultural
department send reports of various4rauds
that with more or less success arc being
practiced. ON farmers in different parts of
the country. Agents for the sale of fruit
trees, fertilizers, stoves, cooking ranges
and various other articles succeed in
many instances in selling their Aares at
two or three times their value, 6Seettihg
the farmers money for things that prove
utterly worthless. The devices of getting
a farmers signature to some paper which
can be changed into a negotiable note
and sold for cash are too numerous to
mention. A favorito ruse is to get him
to act as agent for the sale of some arti-
Gle of farm machinery, leave some of the
articles with him aud take his receipt for
them in such form that, with or with
out change it can be used as note for
the money at which they are valued.
Another device is that of taking orders
for some subscription book-in some
cases the revised New Testament-and
converting such orders into notes. Still
another is the one operated by the pre-
tended agent of a Bible or tract society
who presents himself at farm house
about dinner time and accepts an invita-
ton to dine on condition that he may be
allowed te pay for his meal. The society,
he says, requires that he should pay his
way, and to prove that he has done so he
asks the farmers signature to form of
receipt which he carries with him. In
course of time this receipt comes back to
the farmer in the form of note for some
sum of money filed in by the plausi-
