A. b. Littlepage of this city has written
to The Star in regard to a recently pub

w. w Goodrich of California at the White
House, of whom IL was printed he served
IN the federal navy during the rebellion.
During the battle between the Monitor and
Merrimac at Hampton Roads he was with
Ericsson on the little cheese box which de-
stroyed the confederate ram" Mr.. Little
page writes that Goodrich could not have
been with Ericsson on the Monitor in the
Merrimac fight ''for the very evident rea-
son that Ericsson was not on board the
monitor at that time" He further states
that the Monitor did not destroy the Mer-
rimac, nor was she the direct or remote
cause of her destruction.

First silver wedding.

According to a historian. this is the
way the first silver wedding came about:
1t was in the time of Hughes Caput.
Two of his most faithful servants, a man
and a woman. had grown gray in his EN-
ploy. How could he reward them?
Calling the woman, he said: Your
service is great. greater than the mans,
whose service is great enough. for the
woman always finds work harder than a
man. and therefore l will give you re-
ward. At your age | know of none bet
ter than a dowry and husband. The
dowry is herc-this farm from this time
henceforth belongs to you. If this man
who has worked with you five and twenty
years is willing to marry you, then the
husband is ready"
Your majesty" said the old peasant
show is it possible that we should mar
~. having already silver hairs"
Then it shall be a silver wedding.
And the King gave the couple silver
enough to keep them in plenty.
Such was the origin Of the silver we'd
ding. a custom which, spreading all
through France subsequently became
known TO the world,
