There is in the possession of a Rich" blond, Va,, gentleman, an ancient porce lain mug, on which is painted thlfcyffiffy of Washington op horseback, with Mtnfm scription beneath] “George Washington, Esq., General-in-Chief of the United Stated Army and' Marshal of France.” This latter title bjing one not ordinarily understood to belong to the Father ofWiis country, an old iet;er has been foijnd from G.W. Parke CustL, dated in 1857, which explains how Geieral Washington came by the French rare. The history of the American Marsha of France, writes! Mr.,; Custis, is simply ibis : “When in 1791; Col.

A friend of mine heard Washington spoken of as ‘Monsieur le Marechal’ at the siege of Yorktovvn ; Washington never coveted rank or title ; but it is be yond doubt that from the force of circum stances just related. the rank and the title of 4 Men- bal de France’ was conferred up on the General-in-Chief of the combined armies of America and France. 81 LENT LIE 8! “Boys and girls should always speak the truth,’’ is often said by parents and teachers. Is that sufficient ? There are many who never give verbal utterance to a falsehood, who yet act falsely, often blasting the character ancti minim; 1 , the prospects ot individuals in .furs world by their SILENCE. How many persons, by a cowardly silence, have acted lies ; allow ing an innocent individual to be wrong fully accused ! To be truly noble, one MUST BE TRUE THROUGH AND THROUGH; for “truth is a thing not of words only, but of life and being.” Buffalo Bill, the Indian scout, has re turned from the Indian country to his home in Rochester, N. Y. rfe gives the following pen-pictures of the two generals who have command of the forces opera ting against the Indians: “Gem Crook slept on his blanket, made his own coffee and broiled his own bacon. Gen. Terry bed brought with him, a portable cooking range and an extension table. We could not travel fast enough to catch the Indians as we would break the dishes. A young Quaker has been sentenced to two moutihk imprisonment aA Marseilles )ior refusing/*; join the armyiof reserve. He declared that it was opposed to his religious principles to bear arms, and re plied to the President of the Court Mar tial. who asked whether he would not seize a weapon if hi father was threatened with murder, that he should not even then offer violence, but allow “God’s will to be done. \ *■' The Centennial Tournament. Tpe grundUeptennis l Tilting Tournament, wfHeli will taktvplaee on the 19th. ‘of October, is creating quite a sensation throughout the country, as is evinced by the large number of letters of inquiry received daily by the officers of the Exhibition. I* if tee it knights are to ride in the tourna ment, thirteen of whom will represent the thir teen original States, one to represent the Uni ted States, and another t<> represent the Cen tennial.

The Old Man. Bow low the head, boy ; do reverence to the old man, as he passes slowly along. Once like you. the vieissffiuV s oflbfe baM" eirar'?d * the liair. and changed the round, merry face to the worn visage before you. Once that heartbeat with aspirations co-equal to any you have felt; aspirations crushed by disap pointment. as yours are, perhaps, destined to be. Once that form stalked proudly through the gay scenes of pleasures the beau ideal of grace: now the haud of Time, that withers the flower of yesterday, has warped the figure* and destroyed that noble carriage. Once at your age. he had the thousand thoughts that pass through your brain—-now wishing to accom plish something worthy of a nook in fame: anon imagining life a dream that the sooner he awoke the better. Bui he ini* ! ived the dream very near through. The time is very near at hand ; yet his eye ever kindles at old deeds of daring, and the hand takes a firmer grasp of the staff. Bow low the head. boy. as you would iu your old age be reverenced. Advk’K to <; iui.s. An exchange says: "Win will girls run a,wav and get married.’' -—"We give it up.” answers the Louisville Courie;-Journal. "nut we know a lot here who would stay at home or jump at the chance to get off and get mar ried. The boys aiut around asking them like they did. It takes more money to rim one now-a-days than it does to run a steamboat, and they can see more tun with a steamboat. Ah! girls, its your own fault! Swap off your silks and satins ■for lawns and calicoes, shut up the piano and dive into a w .sh tub, throw away your fancy needle-work and tackle a red hot stove in the kitchen. Instead of re ceiving Brown the baker’s son,in the par lor, keep your vye skinned for Bill Burns, the Blacksmith's son, as he goes home from work. NO 5.
