ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
The Disastrous Attempt to Accom- Plish It by Force-A Famous
 Retreat.

The present agitation concerning the relations between Canada and the United States recalls the time when the annexation of that country was proposed to be brought about by force of arms. The project was entrusted to the brave General Montgomery, assisted by the famous patriots, Col cnels Ethan Allen and Seth Warner. While engaged in this invasion Ethan Allen was taken prisoner by the Brit tsh and sent to England, where he Experienced very harsh treatment.
 It was Colonel Warner..who twice conducted his men safely home, though the march was constantly surrounded by dangers. Once Mont gomery sent them home because their time was out, and though they were willing to continue in service, they were without sufficient clothing, and none could be had in that country.
 Colonel Warner had hardly arrived home before he heard that Mont gomery had been killed, and the cause, as we'll as the lives of the men, were put in great jeopardy. He col Iected his men again and at once started for Canada to assist his countrymen in their extremity. But his efforts were of no avail, and it was soon found necessary to take up lhe line of retreat.
 It was the dead of winter, and only necessity sanctioned moving the troops. The terror of pursuit and the rigor of the season furnished sufficient cause foi alarm and haste. Colonel Warner remained with the rear of the army, and aided them in many ways most effectually as he was a man well posted in caring for the sick and this knowledge now came into excellent use.
 He must keep the army in motion, not day must be lost, and vet he was without any chest of medicines. But he understood the medicinal use of roots and herbs, and of proper care at critical times, and with these allies, he made an efectual fight against dis ease among his men.
 When Ticonderoga was reached and the roll called, thanks to Seth Warner but few vacancies in the ranks appeared.
 Col. Warner saved the lives of hun dreds of men in this way, and he did . noble work, but it remained for his namesake, H. H. Warner, head of Warmers Safe Cure establishment, 10 give the same kind of remedies then used to the people of to- day, tn "Warner's Log Cabin Remedies" These remedies have been adopted l after thorough trial and investigation, and they are remedies of established | reputation Being wholly vegetable, they can be used without any fear as to the results.
 Among the new remedies is Sar- esparilla for the blood, Hops and Buchu for the stomach and digestion, Cough land Consumption Remedy, 6calpine for the head and hair, Rose Cream for that terrible disease, ca- tarrh, Log Cabin Liver Pill, Log Cabin Plaster and an Extract for in eernal and external use.

Hsw to Test Silk Goods.

Silk goods supposed to be adul- terated with other fibers may be easily tested, when it is desirable, by immersing sample in hydro- choloric acid; at least it is q simple and ready method resorted to by many dealers in these fabrics. The acid in question, as is we'll known, is one of the most energetic solvents of silk. and removes it, consequently, in a very short time, leaving the wool or cotton unaffected, at least for considerable period. Another method is to drop little of the acid upon the sample. when, if pure silk, hole will be made, or if impure, the threads left will indicate the nature and extent of the adultera- ton.

A young woman of Jackson County, Ga., had three suitors. She finally notified them that the first of the three arriving the next day pre- pared to marry her she would take for her husband. Each of the three young men started early for her house the following morning. The young woman promptly married the first one who reached it.

SO late as last summer, and, presume, are
still there. They have had checkered ex-
1stence, first as the residence of wealth and
fashion, then as boarding-houseS of conse-
qCence, and finally, like Mantalini they
went to the ''demnition bow-wows." I'M
derStand that several years ago an attempt
was made to revive in part their faded
glory, but don't know how successful it
was. The Carroll mansion, "Duddington,"
was built in the latter part of tie last CEN
tury, and there is a very old house on the
corner of Seventh street South
east and Virginia avenue whose age
IS nearly that of the city. The
sherwood mansion near the Anacostia, at
the foot of & street northeast, is also a very
old house and an historic mansion The
Six and Seven Buildings on Pennsylvania
avenue, west of Twentieth street, are
nearly as old as those on Four-and. a-half
street ear the Arsenal. The house built
by the late Richard Wailach, corner Nine
teenth and |, occupies the site of an old
building used during the war as a part of
the Provost Marshals Office, and which was
but little inferior in age to the Six
and the Seven Buildings. The NAPLES"
Mrs Briggs residence, on South Caro-
lima avenue be ween Sixth and Seventh
streets southeast, is also a colonial built
mansion. With the exception of the Slye
that have had a continuous existence in the
city are several not far from the Observa-
tory, in the section classicallv known for
many years as 'Foggy Bott M" They con-
stitute part of what was known in Colo
NAL days as Hamburg" and later on as
''FUNKTowN."
This was a German settlement, COM
menced prior to 1742 by emigrants direct
from Germany, by whom it as called
Hamburg" It was quite a Furnishing
place when Braddock aud the British army
camped one night on Camp Hill now the
site of the Observatory on their Inflated
march to Fort duQuesne and II assacre
Still later on the oolonists were joined by
emigrants of German blood from Pennsyl-
vania, prominent among whom at the time
of the cession by Maryland was Peter Funk,
whose descendants are still to be found in
the city, and from whom the place for
many years was known as "Funktown.n

40 years ago are still standing, notably one
on Twenty fourth street, south of F.
1t will be seen from the foregoing that
though new city indeed. Yet Washington
still has living connection with the far
away past of the musty colonial days. One
house at least in the corporate limits of the
o d city OF Washington is over 100 years
old. And if Georgetown is considered an
integral part of Washington, then there
will be no difficulty in tracing the first set
Element of the Federal capital, as town,
in contradistinction to a country settlement,
to date at least $50 years ago. For the
evidence is irrefutable that &c rgetown
was military and trading post for some
years before Leonard Calvert laid the foun-
dation of St Mary's on the lower Potomac
in 1854. Washingtons old houses are, how
ever, disappearing rapidly If the process
be long before every one of them will be in
visible.
