The Real Washington. Mr. Parton claims that Washington was not a man of rich or striking mental gifts, and holds it as a part of his glory that he was not greatly endowed. He had but one exceptional and unique gift, and that was his genius for rectitude. “His justice,” said Mr. Jefferson, “was the most inflexible I have ever known. ” He never acted until he had exhausted every means within his reach for ascertaining the true course. His education was chiefly of one kind—a close contact with rude things and average men, and, “as far as he saw” again remarks Mr. Jefferson, “no judgment is ever sounder.” He came of a thriving race, and even in his sixteenth year, knew how “to rough it” on his surveying tours, sleeping in log huts of one room, “with man, wife and children, like dogs and cats,” but bearing this mq£e of existence for ‘ a doubloon every day, and sometimes six pistoles.” He was not above asking the governor of Virginia, in his twenty-second year, for the post of lieu tenant-colonel of the Virginian forces, and was so indignant that liis early and bril liant services in the Indian wars were not rewarded with the royal commission that he retired from the army. It was not until he was married, in his twenty fifth year, to Mrs. Custis, a widow with two children and a large estate, that he w r as placed among the social chiefs of the Virginia colony, and could take his place in the house of burgesses; and, even then, he did not reach the feeling of ease and safety which is counted as the special advantage of a rich man over his fellows. When the controversy between the colonies and the mother country was only a war of words he said nothing, but in 1769 expressed the opinion to George Mason that, in defense of liberty no man should scruple to use arras. When blood had been shed at Lex ington, it excited within him the profoundest sorrow. His remark as the question of duty came home to him, was charact eristic : “Can a virtuous man hesitate in his choice ?” Yet Mr. Parton is right in say ing that during all this preliminary period he was not a leader of the revolutionary movement. He was no more thought of then than Gen. Grant was expected, in the days of the battle of Bull-Run, to be the person to whom Gen. Robert Lee would give up his sword, He is right again in saying that “there does not appear to have been anything in the European career of Wellington of which George Washington would be incapable.” If not a military genius, was a thoroughly good soldier, and had the rare gift of patience in dealing with elements which he could not control. Mere than a Mile a Minute. instead of four, and I’ll pledge myself to make that mile in forty-five seconds.” In conclusion, I may say that if I have i. ... ^ Creameries With Mii.k set at Home. uuv established my assertion as to the speed —Creameries are being established of of which our lines are capable, then I do a new style, and run on the plan of col- • * — lectins the cream, and are very favora- eived.

THE HOUSEHOLD. Suspended Animation.—Nitrate of amyl is a most powerful agent for quick ening the action of the heart, and a few drops of this drug has an imined ate and powerful influence in restoring the functions of the heart in eases of drown ing, hanging or fainting. It should therefore be always used (hut with great caution) whenever an attempt is being made to restore life in an indl- idual apparently dead, or when it is desirable to settle the question whether a person is really dead or not. The discovery of some means of preventing persons being buried alive is a boon to mankind. A second test may be used with the nitrate of amyl. Tie a cord around the finger. If the circulation has entirely stopped the part beyond the legature never becomes any thicker, but if circulation continues, however slowly, tne finger tip beyond the liga ture w’ill sooner or later begin to swell. To Boil Oatmeal.—For the coarser oatmeals use one quart of meal to five quarts of soft water. Always measure them, then you may be sure to have the same consistence. Boil it. smartly until it is evenly diffused through the water; then let it boil slowly for half an hour, and lastly, let it simmer. Two hours, even is not too long. If you have not time to cook it so long soak it before hand and stir it in, when the cold water is heating. After this stirring it needs no more. The sliminess we otten see is caused by constant stirring. Do not let it burn or scorch. The best way is to boil it in a double kettle, or in a tin pail set in a kettle of boiling water. Salt it as it boils. Serve it warm or cold, as you prefer. With the fine oat meal the course is much the same,only they require much stirringja^ftile set tling, and while more meal may be added. An hour of boiling may be sufficient, but no amount of soaking will make the finer meals qeiwl to the coarser kinds in flavor. WIT AND HUMOR. He Couldn’t Converse.—They were sitting on the stoop together. It was just about 8:47 P. M. The moon was floating serenely across the heavens, which looked like an immense stretch of pale satin dappled with diamonds. There wasn’t breeze enough to make the violets nod. The dew fell with its customary softnesss, and was pillowed upon the petal of the dreaming lily. After they had contemplated all the beauty of the fore-going tintype he broke the silence: “It rained this morning, didn’t it, pet?” “It did,” she replied, sweetly. “We have had a great deal of tain lately, haven’t we dearest?” he went on as he gave a hitt*h at his suspenders. “We have.” “Do you like rain, my little peach?” “No.” “Neither do 1.” Then there was another long pause, and more contemplation of the afore said tintype, when the youth agaii went on very feebly; “Does my little gold-haired gumdrop hink it will rain to-morrow?" “1 think not. Bots in Horses.—I have had many ules opened after death, most of whom were treated for bots, as surely recognized by it, as he is by his physiognomy. A person may disguise or distort the general appearance of liis writin. as he may the expression of his face or the horses and sound of his voice, yet the peculiar char- '■ most of wl , . acteristics by which lie is recognized will and have yet to see the first case where in each case be plainly visible, in spite oft they bad done injury. A majority of all efforts at disguise. Habit imparts pe- j the cases died from inflammation of culiaiitics in form of letters, to their 1 the bowels, caused by drastic and ndi- ; culous remedies admims ered. I have known the entrails of a chicken forced connections, Not long ago I applied to superintendent James McCrea, of the Pennsylvania rail road, for permission to ride on the engine from West Philadelphia to Jersey City, with a view of making an absolutely cor rect test of the velocity attained, and 1 boarded engine No. 724 at West Philadcl phia depot and seated myself in the cab. Passing a cigar over to Edward Osmond, the engineer, I stated my business, which was really a repetition of that of a year ago, when I took a like ride with him. While we were talking the hell over the head of the engineer clinked, and the engine start ed at precisely twenty-five minutes to eight, Philadelphia time. In order that there could be no room for mistake, I had provid ed myself with a Saltzman stop watch, which records the seconds and quarter seconds, being the timepiece which has of ficially recorded the speed of Goldsmith Maid and over a score of other well-known trotters. The second and quarter second hands were set together at twelve, ready to be started on the instant. The train was no more than fairly going when the fireman kindly handed me a close-fitting skull cap, suggesting that it would be more likely to stay on my head than my bat. Then, as the wind, rushing in the open door in front, began to assume the nature of a tornado, it was partly closed and secured, and we all settled down to business. You will remember that one of your correspond ents said that an engineer could not breath with liis engine going a mile a min ute. The facilities for respiration on the locomotive can be made precisely the same as in the passenger cars, as the engineer can close everything in front and at the sides if be so elects. During warm weather the glass door is generally shut about half way thus admitting a cfc>l and delightful breeze. I asked Osmond whether he had ever experienced any difficulty in breathing when running at a very rapid rate “Not that I am aware of,” he answered, as he gave an other twitch of the throttle, and we began climbing around the switches at Mantua, a few miles this side of West Philadelphia. We were spinning along at a comfortable rate, when the speed began slackening for Germantown junction, five miles out. Here a brief halt was made, and when we start ed again there was no stop until we reached Jersey City, over eighty miles away. We had four cars and 163 passengers, and the driving wheels of the engine were five feet eight inches in diameter. It was my intention to time the train for a five- mile, three-mile and one-mile stretch, and 1 asked Osmond, the engineer, to indicate the point where I should begin. A short distance east of Dean's station be turned and nodded liis bead, just as a mile post came in sight. I took outmy watch, and, at the very instant the post was reached, started the timepiece. The engine was run ning smoothly, but there could be no doubt of our prodigious speed. I saw as we shot by the next post that we had made the dis tance in about a minute, as was the case with the succeeding mile; but the speed rapidly increased, and at the precise instant the fifth mile post whisked past my elbows, I stopped the watch. The five miles had been passed in exactly four minutes and fifty-five and a quarter seconds. During those same five miles conductor Silance stood in tbe baggage car jotting down the time for each mile. When we compared notes, we differed only a quarter of a sec ond, his time being that much less than mine. Silance now climbed over upon the en gine and took bis seat behind me, on the left side of the cab, next tbe mile posts. I set my watch, with tbe second and quarter seconds pointing to the figure 12, and held it thus ready for business. “I will keep it for three miles,” said Silance, “and you may take tbe last of the three. ” It will be understood that 1 could record only one stretch of road at a time, as engineer Os mond didn’t manifest any disposition to stop the engine, after each mile, to wait while I got the hands of the watch in posi tion again. Silance sat, stop-watch in hand and wrote the figures with a soap, and then nudged me to take in the next mile post. As before, I started the second and quarter second hands at the precise moment the engine bounded past the mile post. Look ing over I noted that the driving wheels seemed to be absolutely stationary, but the ponderous connecting rods were quivering back and forth at the rate cf more than i 50 times a minute. However, there was hardly time to recall this, when I caught sight of the next mile post swooping down upon us. When ex actly abreast I stopped the watch and look ed at the hands. They marked precisely fifty and one-quarter seconds. This is the exact time in which the last mile was made. Conductor Silance now reached his slip of paper over my shoulder, and handed it to me. This is his record, as he took it down: First mile, 54 seconds; second mile, 52 seconds: third mile, 50 seconds—making the three miles in 2 m. 36 sec., which cor responds precisely with the same run made a year ago over the same piece of track, near Menlo park. It will be observed that, on the last mile, we again differed by only one-fourth of a second, and I am sure I gave the full time to the mile. On reach ing Jersey City I learned that one of the passengers stood at the rear of the train, and timed the same three miles with a stop watch, marking down the record, which I copied. It adds up two minutes thirty-six and thirteen-fifteenths seconds, from which it will be seen that both he and conductor Silance hardly varied from me, though the opportunity of both for absolute correctness did not equal mine. I showed my record to Osmond, who said: “Give me two cars proportions, slope, space. can liis personal identity by drawing up his nose, squinting liis eyes or walking with a limp.

Beat the blitter light, then add the sugar gradually, beating until it is a cream ; mix, and stir in the flour in which tiie saleratus and creaifi-tartar have been mixed. Bake fifty minutes. The filling is made by using one square of Baker’s chocolate, cup of sugar, yolks of two eggs, third of a cup of boiling milk; mix the seraped choco late and sugar together, and then add, slowly, the milk and eggs, simmering about ten minutes. This must be per fectly cold before using. Baked Cream Fish.—Trout and white-fish are best lor this.

Nice for lunch. Adulteration of Drugs.—A recent case is quoted showing that quinine is not given pure by druggists. A physi cian prescribed a strong dose of quinine for a patient suffering from a violent attack of fever. The second attack was worse than the first, and the doctor, doubting the druggist, made an analy sis, and found the suspected quinine was much adulterated with salicine.

The present daily pioduction is estimated at 66,000 pounds, valued at $0,000, or $2,400,000 per annum. One cultivator has 21 miles ot mushroom- beds in a quarry at Mery. Sauce for Boiled Rice.—Beat the yolks of three eggs into sugar enough to make it quite sweet. Add a tea-cup of cream, and the grated peel a d juice ot two lemons. This is a good sauce for other pudding, especially for corn starch puddings.

That of President John Adams : -pj ug and his wife was celebrated on the 25th of October 1814. That of their son, President perfectly John Quincy Adams, and liis wife, on thc 26th of July, 1847. The third has just taken place. It will be noticed that the in tervals between these occasions were re spectively thirty-three and thirty-two years —almost exactly the lifetime of a genera tion. At the time of their golden weddings President John Adams was seventy-nine, and President John Q. Adams has just en tered liis eightieth year. Mr. C. F. Adams is seventy-two. and hogs.

Polk liked tobacco and old rye better than cham pagne; Pres jdent Taylor was temper ate but not abstemious; Millard Fill more was very careful in his libations but took his Madeira; Franklin Peirce was very social; equally so James Bu chanan; Abraham Lincoln was no tee totaller, but very temperate; Andrew Johnson a generous drinker; Presi dent Grant a judge ot horses, wine and segars.

It con sisted of ‘ight Indians, painted extrav agantly beating on a piece of skin stretclud a bent hoop.

As the chiefs enter the rums ire beaten harder, and the yelps com out fister and louder, while the warriors rte and l egin their peculiar dance, which corists of putting one foot before the other ad keeping time with thc drum. After the once the big chief made a speech, and then a. oung man stepped up to a pole in the centi and laid himself on his baclf on the groud. Two medicine men then arose, drew their knives and cut holes through eaci side of the breast of the neo phyte throqli which they put skewers. He then tun*d over and they made a hole through the sin on the shoulder-blade and put a skewei through it, on which they fastened a la^e shield weighing ten or fif teen pounds. He now stood up, and ropes hanging from he centre pole above were tied to the skivers on the breast. For moment he lehed against the pole, moan ing audibly will agony; then he sprang out and danced, stitching the ropes which held the skewers tilkhe flesh stood out for three inches from hisphest. Suddenly he threw himself backwad, his whole w r eight hang ing on the ropes when, horrible to relate, the flesh burst aid he fell to the ground, where he remailed but a moment, how ever for starting to hi feet he jerked the shield from his baek, Hiring away the flesh on the shoulder blarf and nearly completing his torture. Themedicine men then came forward and in pirt cut off the pieces of flesh which had b»en torn, presenting them to the new-made Yarrior, who was immedi ately taken to his ent, where his horse and arms were displayed.

Each man ate half a dozen of the calcs and w'orried dowm over half a gallon of lie soup. Then, full fed, they performed what might be called the second degree f»r a Blackfoot warrior. The medicine man cut a fresh hole in the still unwounded shailder-blade of thc new war rior, and hungon it a buffalo s head. All the natives proent then joined in a grand dance, the nev fighting man footing it with the rest, wher suddenly the medicine man hit the buffao’s head with a club and knocked it of the new warrior, whose flesh was again ton apart. He kept dancing with the rest, not exhibiting a sign of pain, while the blod ran down his back. This ended the ceremony, so far as th© torture the individu.l was concerned, though it may be doubted vhether the immense amount of eating wlich ensued was not intended demonstrat- the capacity of the old warriors for endurhg the torments of an over- oaded stouach.

The fair reader shudders when she thinks of ihe settler’s wife watching, from the door of her rude hut, the re treating form of her husband going out to his daily labor—going out perhapJ to returu not again, for before nightfal a savage hand may have laid him low among the prairie grasses. Or it may be a child, a bright-eyed daughter, is snatched away in an unguarded no- ment. to grace the next war dance. When we read the heartrending details of these savage depredations, we are apt to blame the government for not taking more strict precautions to insure the settler’s protection. But we daily read of the depredations of that Arch fiend, consumption, with scarcely a thought of the terrible inioadi it is making in human life. Tens of thous ands of homes are annually desolated by consumption to one by Indian Out rage. Like the Indian, consumption oftenest comes stealthily, and no dan ger is apprehended until the victim suddenly finds himself hopelessly en snared* and death’s fatal arrow ends the scene. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medi cal Discovery, a powerful alterative, or blood-purifier, and tonic, has restored thousands of consumptives who had tried every other remedy recommended to them, without obtaining any relief, and are willing to testily to its remedial powers. eud for Spec in Mew Method for Sinking (Tamea, lent book.(86 00 per d<-s * “ * ' ~ ‘ Catalogues, or Circulate.
