In an old country house in New Jersey, not far from I'ldludelphit, owned by a family who claim remote relationship to Manila Washington, the writer recently f<-tm<l among other reli-n of the past, most carefully hoarded, a memoranda of some toilet aitides which George Wash ington sent to Lor,don for 17oft, the fir. t year of his marriage. The follow ing is an exact copy of this memoranda, which is euriosly quaint: One cap, handkerchief, and tucker. Two fine lawn aprons. Two double handkerchiefs. Two pairs of white silk ho<e. Six pairs of fine cotton hose. Four pa’r* of thread hose. One pair ot black satin shoes of the smallest fives. [ One pair of white satin shoes. One pair of calimanoo shoos. One fashionable hat or bonnet. Six pairs ot kid gloves. Six pairs of mits. Six breast knots. One dozen silk stay faces. One black mask. One dozen fashionable cambric hand* kerchiefs. Two pairs neat sinnl! scissors. One pound of sewing silk. One box oi real minikin pins and hair pins. Four pieces of tape. Six pounds of perfumed powder. One piece narrow while satin ribbor. One puckered petticoat of a fashiona ble color. One Rilvcr fabbo petticoat. Two handsome br*ast flowers. Nine pounds of sugar candy. So, girls, yen see its all bosh about your l eing more extravagant than onr mothers and grandmothers in the good old days gone by. If they didn't have their pullebacks anil all auch tnodetn J mysteries, you see lady Waahinqton tued perfumed powder, hi east knr ts, satin shoes, and silken hose ; whether they had stripes or not history does not exactly say; but then she indulged in all he vagaries and whims of fashion just like any modern lady who makes any preten sions to style.

Are you aware that when your employer is robbed, you are robbed to a certain extent also? If your employer thrives, you thrive with him. It he is pinched, how can he pay you good wages ? If you put up men who tax your ern p'oyer and yourself only to enable them to steal and live finely, are you liouesl ? And have you not allowed your votes to do this again and again ? You call yourself a Republican. Your party is about to make nominations. It men are named whom the State can trust your hands arc clean ; but if the old story is repeated, and swindles, cheats, or incoinpeteut persons arc put forward by your party and you cling to them, do you think your employer can trust you with hts interests f Ought he!
