Uashington,s Mosher.

In little old house in Charles street,
Fredericksburg. Va, says an exchange,
Washington's mother, who was in her day
a famous cook and housewife, was at times
fond of giving "a small dance and dinner
party"
There. ION the waxed floor of the front
room, lighted by numerous candles, the
bellies and beaux of other days ''did dance
righte merrily." In a diary now worn and
yellow by age one bright-eyed belle tells
My petticoat was of Powered peach
satin, with long-waisted coat of white. a
lace kerchief was gathered round my
shoulders, and my arms were bare to the
elbow. A string of milk-white pearls did
tie around my throat. My hair I had high
and pleasing powdered. And silver buckles
We're upon my shoes. "
Old Mr. l., one of the neighbors, hap
pening TO drop in one morning while Mrs.
Washington was busy in her dairy, was re-
quested to come there if he cared to speak
with her.
He entered, found Mrs. Washington with
skirts turned up and sleeves rolled, busy
with the fresh made butter which she was
moulding in a wooden tray.
''For you know, Mr.. L." she said
brisllly, 'tny tongue and hands may be en-
ployed at the same time without loss.''

John and Ills Boat

John and his Boat
Strange junks float down or sail up the
river, sometimes mere planks nailed to-
gether in an uncouth manner, sometimes
built in the regular riyer-iunk fashion, and
well built, too. of vanished wood, with
raised deck-houses high above the etern and
sails of mating; and not seldom some be-
painted and bespangled mandarin boat IS
passed, covered with gold dragons in con-
tortions, and resembling more the adver-
tisement van of some second-rate circus
than anything else. Yet they are most
picturesque; the groteSque animals, whose
prot-uding necks form the bow, and whose
open Jaws are filed with scarlet teeth, are
a marvel; but they are not alone in their
glory, for the whole ship is q mass of
tangled reptiles and beautiful but mythical
birds and beasts. The cabin, with its gay
awning and brilliantly painted walls stands
on the deck like a Paris bonbonniere, while
from above fly multitude of flags, long,
narrow pennants, bearing the mandarin
owners name and titles, flags with curly
dragons-hass, in fact, of every color and
every design
Every day we were passing these boats,
and each was picture. The decks from
which the sailors row are very low to the
water. and on one occasion the wash OF our
passing steamer caused such strain upon
the heavy oars that two of crew were
washed overheard. We saw them picked
up again. and then proceeded on our way,
the gaudy and infatuated mandarin cursing
US volubly from the roof of his cabin. All
Chinese boats have one delightful peculiar
ity in common-an eye painted on the bows;
for, argues the supplemented Celestial,
No got eye, no makee see, no makee see,
no can go.'

A YalnabIe Railroad.

United States Consult General Adamson at
Panama, has made an interesting report to
the state departman on the Panama rail
road, which is as fine a Bit of gilt-edged
railroad property as can be found anywhere
In the world 1t is a private corporation,
chartered under the laws of the state Of
New York, and having its principal Office
In The city Of New York. 1t runs across
the isthmus from Colon to Panama, and is
only forty-seven miles long. Until quite
recently the charge for transportation of
passengers was probably the highest
known, being SIS in United States gold for
first-class passage from Panama TO Colon,
or about 80 cents a mile. Luggage other
than that carried in the hand is charged for
at the rate Of cents a pound. There are
no laws for the regulation of freight and
passenger charges. and during the period
for which the concession was granted to the
Panama railroad company-ninety-nin
years-no other road can be made between
the two oceans through the department of
Panama. This prohibition includes the
making of even a wagon road. So valuable
is this concession that the railroad COM
pany willingly pays the Columbian govern
ment $3.50 QUO annually for its privileges.

Capt E.,S Jaffrey, an American, who has
been spending some time in South America
and London for syndicate of capitalists
who are interested in large South American
Enterprises, put forth novel idea about
the occasion of Chili's apology, in CONVEX
sation with reporter for the New York
Press. do you know how much the men
who control the Gillian nitrate deposits
could afford to pay for peace? can tell
you that it is a very large sum. Col.
North the so-called Nitrate King. has
made fortune variously estimated at from
E35. COO Coo to $4,000, 900 in the last ten or
twelve years His associates are said to
have made Il the way from S1o0, 000, 600 TO
kl5O, 900, 900 in the same time. There is no
figure that can be put on the value OF prop
erty which will yield such returns TO rep
resent its real value. I have heard that it
was the responsiveness of the nitrate peo-
pie which induced Chill to apologize to the
United States, and that the persuasion used
was cold cash for the strengthening Of the
present government. The amount has been
stated variously at from S5,000,000 to Sl5,-

THRIFTY LITTLE PRINCES.
Williams Offspring Increase Their Pr
Money by Selling Acorns

Williams Offspring Increase Their Pin
Money by Selling Acorns.
The young princes of the imperial family
have just had their allowances increased
slightly through rather curious discovery
on the part of their father, says a Berlin
letter. The emperor noticed that at the
last birthday celebrated by them the
presents given among themselves were I'M
usually expensive. As their incomes are
very meager, according to the traditions of
the house OF Hohenzollern, the emperor be-
gan to inquire where the money came from.
The crown prince told him they had learned
last summer in Potsdam that IN winter the
game in the royal preserves were fed on
acorns and horse chestruts. They then in
duced their tutor to let them have small
wheelbarrows made, and with these they
worked early and late in the royal parks,
gathering and storing away the acorns and
horse chestnuts. After they had filled
large shed with the fodder they struck
bargain with Baron Heintze,
master of the hunt, who bought
the nuts and acorns at the
market price of so cents bushel. The en-
peror was tickled by this story and ad-
dressed to the boys long lecture on the
dignity of labor and thrift. He provided
against the recurrence of the Wheelbarrow
enterprise, however, by raising the allow
ance of each prince.
Ernst Bannert, trusted officer of the
Steirmaer Kische Escompte bank in Graz,
has been discovered TO be an embeZzler of
some 100000 to $l50,000 He has appro-
priated the banks funds for ten or twelve
years, but carefully covered his operations
by manipulating the books after the other
officers of the bank had gone home for the

How He Disconnected the Deacons of an
Early Passionate.

visitor to the Pastors college, who
dropped in casually to look around might
have come across q stout burly individual
in long frock overcoat, a felt hat of the
familiar American pattern punched in at
the crown, with stout stick over his
shoulder, or if occasion required, used to
limp with, and would probably take him for
some English squire who had forgotten his
top boots, or for well-to-do farmer, come
up like himself to look around the place.
That was Spurgeon. He never wore cleri-
cal coat or hat, in the pulpit or out of it !;
abhorred the title of reverend and in all
things aimed to be simply man among
men. A brother stick to the one he usually
carried was laughingly cherished by him at
home, about which he delighted TO tell the
following story:
1T is sometimes rather difficult to get
along with deacons. Resist the devil and he
will fee from you. resist a deacon and he
will fly at you. When I first began to preach
at New Park street the immense crowds
made the heat so oppressive that could
scarcely preach, and many women were
carried cut falnting. / asked that the win
dows be opened. The deacons, in the exer-
else OF their high aut hority, objected. Next
Sunday evening L ordered man to open
them before the commencement Of service.
They were ordered to be closed again. The
following Sunday morning many of those
windows were found mySteriously broken
with wondrous regularity all around the
building. Great was the indignation and
searching the investigation into this act of
vandalism. 1t was never fonnd out, though
possibly suspected, as l made no great Sc
cret of my visit to the building, but the old
stick was responsible for it. Possibly
thinking that the same thing might occur
again, the windows were left in future I'M

WHISKY DRINKERS IN GERMANr.
Emperor Williams Proposal in Regard to
Their Treatment.

Emperor Williams Proposal In Regard to
Their Treatment.
Emperor Williams bill for the repression
of drunkenness has been revised and
clipped pretty carefully by the Federal
council, and within the last two weeks has
been laid before the reichstag. Its specific
aims are to discourage drunkenness, i'm
morality and theft in the small whisky
saloons frequented by the poorer classes.
After the enumeration of conditions
which viii prevent the granting OF licenses
in specified places to men of certain char
acter, the bills ironclad provisions for the
control of the retail trade In whiskies
brandy, etc, are stated. These strong
spirituous liquors may not be sold in less
than half-pint quantities, or in rooms occu-
pied for other mercantile purposes. Every
landlord shall be arrested as soon as he is
discovered not 70 have taken all possible
steps to keep his place free of drunkards,
thieves an questionable women.
In case man becomes drunk in a saloon
he may be elected only when the landlord
has arranged to have him taken home in a
cab or by a specially employed escort The
expenses Of getting drunken man from
the saloon to his lodgings are to be paid
eventually by the man himself. All drinks
must be paid for before the drinker leaves
the saloon. Local authorities may forbid
the opening of saloons between midnight
and O'Clock p. m, and may prohibit the
employment of mattresses wherever strong
spirituous liquors are sold. All these pro-
visions and about ten or twelve more ara to
be enforced with the aid of ten paragraphs
full of penalties.
Most Germans are happy, doubtless, that
two or three stringent paragraphs in the
law are mot to be applied to pleasure ex-
cursions,'' etc,-an eminently fit exception
for country where, as Schopenhauer said,
every picnic is roundabout way into
saloon"

1NGERsoLL AFTER pIxoN.
Tho Hanson Place Pastor VIII Defend Bis
Photograph in Court.


Bob Ingersoll is after the Rev. A. c.
Dixon, pastor of the Hanson place Baptist
church, with sharp stick. Dixon said IN
lecture that Ingersoll was defender OF OBJ
scene literature. Thereupon Ingerson wrote
the following letter to Dixon:
NEW YORK, Feb. 8, 1892.
Rev. A. C. Dixon, Brooklyn, n. Y.
MY DEAR SHINY attention was called,
for the first time, this morning to j report
that appeared in the Brooklyn edition of
the New York World of February 1, 1892,
of lecture delivered by you on January 81
at the Hanson place Baptist church, and in
that report the following is said TO have
been uttered by you: "a few years ago it
was found that pictures and impure publ
cations were passing through the mails.
Anthony Comstock decided to stop it. On
investigation, whom should he find repre-
sentiug publishers of impure literature but
Col Ingersoll. paid to pollute the minds of
the young of this generation" I write for
the purpose of giving you an opportunity to
retract-either by stating that you used no
such language. or that the statements are
absolutely untrue. Ii you do not make such
retraction, ! shall commence an action
against you for having uttered malicious
libel Yours truly, r. G. INGERsoLL.
The Rev. Dixon replied that he didn't say
the things Ingersol quoted, because he for
got them when he delivered his lecture; but
that the reporter got the paragraphs from
his photograph, where he had spoken them
in preparing his lecture. MIR. Dixon then
quoted at length from Anthony Comstock's
book 20 prove that his charges against In
gersoll are true, and then said: .
II believe, sir, that these charges against
you are true, and if you desire TO test them
before court of justice, l will be happy iu-
deed TO represent the purity of this country
as against the defenders and propagators of
obscene literature"
