From the Boston Budget.
Just now, when all good people, are
making comparisons between the pres
ent nml the “good old times,” and
and when they are disposed to think
that the comparison is rather badly
ngainst us who are living, it is well
enough to remember that our great
and good Washington wrote some let
ters that his successor in these degen
erate days never has and never would
have written. As, for instance, this:J
Mount Verson, 2 July, 17(10.
To Captain Joh. Thompson:
.Sir: With this letter comes a ne
gro (Tom), which I beg the favor of
you to sell in any of the islands you
may go to, for whatever lie will fetch,
ana bring me in return lor him:
One hud of best molasses.
One ditto of best rum.
One barrel of lymes, if good and
cheap.
One pot of tamarinds, containing
about ten pounds.
| IT wo small ditto of mixed sweet
meats, about five pounds each.
And the residue, much or little, in
good old spirits.
That this fellow is both a rogue nml
a runaway (though he was by no
means remarkable for the former, and
never practiced the latter until late) I
shall not pretend to den}-, but that he
is exceedingly healthy, strong and
good at the hoe, the whole neighbor
hood can testify, ami particularly
Mr. Johnson and his son, who have
both had him under them as foreman
of the gang, which gives me reason to
hope he may, with your good man
agement, sell well if kept clean and
trimmed up a little when offered for
sale. .
I shall very cheerfully allow you
the customary commission on this af
fair, and must beg the favor of you
(lest he should attempt to cscai>c) to
keep him handcuffed until you get to
sea, or in the bay, after, which I doubt
not you can make him very useful to
you.
I wish you a ptcnsanl and prosper
ous passage, and a 6afc and speedy re
turn. George Washington.
How times have changed since
then! And not for*thc worse, alto

Elmira, N. Y., June 17.—John L.
Lawos, the phenomenal fat man, died
nt his home in this city at three
o’clock this afternoon. Mr. Lawes
has been enjoying uiiusiml good
health, and was to have become an
exhibition at the county fair, which
opens ib this city next Wednesday.
Last Friday he was taken ill of ery
sipelas and failed rapidly.
Mr. Lawes was undoubtedly the
heaviest man iu America, weighing at
his death 640 pounds. He was horn
in England, and was about 40 years
of age. He was a blacksmith and
worked at his trade up to three years
ago. Previous to that time he had
weighed but n little over 200 pounds.
He then began to gain rapidly in
stature, forcing him to retire from the
pursuit of his trade. He gained iu
weight at the rate of from five to tcu
pounds per week. Everything that
medical science suggested was applied
to his case, but of no avail. Propor
tionately as he grew in stature his ap
petite increased. Two and three
pounds ot beefsteak was hut a small
meal for him, and he ate as often as
five orsixtimes aday. His physicians
recommended a diet, hut his diet grew
insatiatable, until at the time of his
death his principal occupation was
with the knife and fork.
It is *aid that there arc live men
who stutter to every one womnu thus
afflicted. The explanation is easy: a
woman’s power of talking is rarely
impaired. No greater calamity could
befall her.
A Swedish socialist was recently
very handsomely downed by the
court chaplain. The socialist said that
“the Saviour was a communist.” The
chaplain was ready for him. “Yes,” he
replied, “with this difference: Christ
said, ‘What is mine is thine; but you
say. ‘What is thine is mine!’ ” That
answer would be hard to beat.
“Don’t disturb me,” remarked the
editorial scissors; “I am right in the
middle of ar article.”
If you want to give pleasure to a
:lty woman do not talk to her of
r own beauty, but of the ugliness of
: women.
