TRF. PRESIDENT IX THE NORTH.
llis Reception in Boston—lranl Mason
ic Display—Tlic l.iilliu.siasin : Decora
lions, Ac.
All accounts agree that the Presi
dent's reception and treatment in Bos
ton was one of the grandest ovations
ever tendered to any of the nation's
rulers by that community. Whatever
else Boston may lack, it never wants
courtesy and respect when courtesy
and consideration are due. The parade
and Masonic ceremonies of Monday
were on the largest scale, and the day
was kept by the people of the city and
surrounding country as a holiday.—
Commencing at 8 A. M. to form, it was
not until after o P. M. that the Masons
completed their line of march and
reached Boston Music Hall, where the
ovation and other ceremonies took
place. The dedication ceremonies com
menced at I) o'clock, and in these none
excepting Masons participated. The
President of the United States, Post
master General Randall, Major Gener
al Rousseau, and Surgeon Basil Norris
were present at this interesting ser
vice, they being members of the fra
ternity, and wearing appropriate re
galia. The procession consisted of
eighteen divisions, and was comman
ded by William D. Stratton Grand Mar
shall. In addition to Encampments
of the State, there were Encampments
from Rhode Island, New York, New
Hampshire. Maine, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and District of Columbia, to
gether with Knights from other States.
The Lodges of the State were joined by
St. John's Lodge, of New York, insti
tuted in 1721. It carried its old Wash
ington Bible upon which George Wash
ington took his oath of office as first
President of the United States, it hav
ing been administered by Chancellor
Robert Livingston. The Bible was es
corted by a special guard of Klights,
and was carried by Henry Glaser, of
New York. Lodges from Maine, Illi
nois, New York, and the city of Wash
ington, and other cities and States,
were in line with a strong representa
tion of various organizations in England
and the British Provinces.
It i.3 thought It), 000 Masons were in
the procession. The dress of members
of different lodges was strictly uniform,
its was also that of the Knights of the
several commanderies, and this circum
stance elicited the admiration of the
spectators and rendered more attrac
tive the appearance of the procession.
Some of the Knights were on horseback,
and a few rode in open carriages. All
encampments and lodges carried ban
ners designating their names and local
ities and a number of national flags
were prominent in thebriliant display.
Crowds lined the streets, and many
houses displayed flags and banners.
Some of the decorations were ola
gorgeous character, including arches
across the street, formed by streamers
from the windows. A large groined
arch, trimmed with national emblems
and surmounted by an allegorical rep
resentation of Hope, fringed with flags,
greeted the eye, and added to the effect
of the display.
The President's coach was drawn by
six chestnut colored horses, and flank- j
ed by a guard of honor of the Boston j
Encampment Knights Templar, num
bering twenty-four, armed with gold-;
beaded spears. All along the route the
President was cheered by the men,
while the ladie.- in the windows and
balconies waved their handkerchiefs.
The President stood muchofthetime,
bowing with hat in hand in acknowl
edmcnt of these compliments. Bou
quets were occasionally thrown into
the carriage, and the fact that hecaught
I in his hand a large bunch of flowers
I thrown by a young lady from a win
dow elicited renewed applause. Hold
ing the bouquet toward the fair donor,
he made a low bow. There was much
enthusiasm everywhere exhibited.—
Many words of compliment were loudly
uttered, and the only allusion to politics
heard was the exclamation, "No im
peachment."
The coach halted repeatedly to en
able mothers to present their little
BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1867.
children to the notice of the President.
He gave them kind words and more
than once availed himself of'the oppor
tunity of a kiss. Bostonians says that
never before was there a time when
politics were so successfully excluded
from a public demonstration in honor
of a public man, and many are glad to
have the President among them in or
der that they may express theirrespect
for him as the Chief Magistrate and as
a fellow-citizen, irrespective of the is
sues which disturb the country.
In the evening a grand bouquet was
given in the Egyptian Saloon of the
new Masonic Temple, at which the
President was the honored guest. In
response to a toast, Mr. Johnson spoke
at some length, his remarks being fre
quently interrupted with applause.—
After the banquet the President was
escorted back to the Tremont House,
where he was met by ex-President
Pierce, who had Ue-t arrived from New
Hampshire, especially to pay his re
spects to him.
A SAD TALK.—A St. Louis corres
pondent says: "A year ago, the daugh
ter of one of our wealthy Main street
men married a clerk 011 S2,(MM) a year,
against her father's will. The honey
moon bliss was scarcely done, and the
battle of life really begun, when she
found that her husband was not all
that her fond imagination had pictured
him to be, nor wedded bliss so rosy as
she had dreamed. She told her moth
er she would like to come back to her
home, and her mother pressed her to
do so; but her father made of stonier
material, did not comeinto the arrange
ment so easily. Leaving the following
note on her husband's table, repaired
to her paternal hearth-stone:
'I have gone home to ray father.—
Farewell. Be happy. MARY.'
"Home that was, alas! she went to;
but icy glances and rude rebuffs were
all the greetings she received. She
could not live here, and receiving no
intelligence from her husband, she
started out for herself. Rent day soon
came round, and having 110 means,
she repaired to her father, and implor
ed him for money, and begged for e
nough to start herself in business so she
could earn a livelihood. He refused,
anclshesaid, 'Whereshall I go, father?'
He replied, 'I don't care. Go to h—ll,
if you will.' In her desperation she
said, 'I will, father, and hold you re
sponsible.'
"Rushing from her home, she soon
met a gay young man about town,
told her tale, and said, 'she was ready
for anything.' He made an appoint
ment with her at a well known assig
nation house 011 Washington avenue,
and she poor creature, has commenced
to be numbered among those whose
footfalls patter over the ashes of hell."
THE VIOLET.— Those who wish to
cultivate the violet in their gardens
will do well to avail themselves of the
following hints concerning this charm
ing little flower. There are more than
twenty species, those most esteemed
for fragrance being merely varieties of
the sweet violet of the botanist, or, as
it is better known, the English violet.
Many of the varieties will flower at any
season of the year, if the conditions are
favorable. They require cool weather
and rather shaded, moist situations.
They flower in the spring and fall, and
can easily be kept in bloom from Octo
ber till the end of May, by the simple
help of a cold pit, well protected in
winter. For this purpose they must
be grown in some moist spot during the
summer, and transplanted to the pit in
October, the only additional care nec
essary being to shelter them from actu
al frost, and to admit the rays of the
sun whenever it can be done without
letting in the frost also. By this sim
ple method we may have these delici
ously fragrant flower*; around us the
whole year. Those who choose to try
it will find it an excellent plan, and
will be amply repaid for their trouble.
Violets may also be potted and placed
in the green-house, care being taken to
keep them in the coolest parts, and as
near the glass as possible.
RED CLOUD, TIIE INDIAN LEADER.
—Speaking-of thefourthcoming war on
the plains, the Reese River Reveille
says: The great leader of the Indians
is Red Cloud, or Mahpilatan, who is
represented as one of the ablest Indian
warriors of any time. He is about
thirty five years of age, tall, handsome,
athletic, and As perfect in his horseman
ship as in his physical appearance. He
has commanded in several battles pre
vious to the massacre of Col. Fetter
man's command, and has never been
whipped, lie was at Laramie last
Spring, at the treaty making, enjoying
the farce aud treating it as such with
out disguise, yet accepting all the pre
sents offered, but left with the declar
ation that his country should never be
occupied by the whites, nor garrisoned
by them, nor should their roads cross
it. Then he was at the head of about
320 warriors of the Ogaiallah Sioux, but
his marshalling 8,000 at Fort Philip
Kearney shows the influence he has o
ver others, and his determination to
make his threat goou. He is an active
energetic, and able warrior, and he
who conquers Red Cloud will do more
than he who conquered Tecumseh, or
Black liawk, or Osceola.
PHILOSOPHERS say that shutting the
eyes makes the sense of hearing more
acute. A wag suggests that this ac
counts for the many closed eyes that
are seen at church on Sunday.
THE FA EE OF QFERETARO A\l) CAP
TIRE OFVMAXIAIIEIAX.
A special correspondent who was
on the ground, gives the following ac
count of the fall of Queretaro and the
capture of Maximilian:
The convent of La Cruz, formed the
key to the city, and many lives have
been lost in attacking and defending it.
Maximilian had his headquarters in
the building. Escobedo's best infantry
occupied the valley between the con
vent and the mountain.
The Cruz had been void. Colonel Lo
pez was Commander of the Cruz and
he it was who betrayed the city to the
enemy. Just when the liberal Com
mander-in-Chief had given his orders
for attack, Lopez sent him a letter offer
ing for money—variously stated at sums
ranging from 800 to 3,000 ounces—to
deliver up the Cruz to the liberals. The
offer, whatever it might be, was
promptly accepted.—Under cover of
the darkness Escobedo and Corona
moved their forces up under the very
wal's of the Cruz. Then Lopez, com
manding his own troops to lay down
their arms, quietly marched them out
at one door as prisoners, while the lib
eral troops marched in at theotherand
took their places. Thus remained the
Cruz all night garrisoned by liberal sol
diers, Maximilian placidly sleeping and
dreaming of no harm.
The Emperor, an incorrigibly early
riser, was one of the first to find out
something was wrong. Hastily waking
Prince Salm-Salm, he exclaimed,
"Come along, quick!" and made for
the door. But here a file of liberal sol
diers were awaiting him. As the ill
starred Prince passed on his way out,
Lopez, in a hoarse whisper, exclaimed,
"That's he," and urged Rincon to se
cure him at once. Then occurred one
of the most singular incidents in the
whole of this singular war. Colonel
Rincon a brave soldier, would have re
joiced to have captured the Austrian
Archduke in a fair fight; but he had
little relish for his present work or for
the treason that had brought it about.—
Giving away to a sudden impulse of
generosity, he went up to Max, and
said You are a citizen ; you are no
soldier; we don't want you— vamos/"
and so saying, pushed the astonished
Emperor out of the convent. Five
minutes afterwards I met him, still
looking utterly dazzled, but making
his way on foot as hard as he could for
the Cerro de Campana, at the other ex
tremity of the city.
Thus far few shots had been fired.
Corona,always swift in his movements,
entering by the Cruz, had taken poses
sion of the whole of the imperial lines
from the inside, the troops at his ap
proach dropping their guns and shout
ing " Vive la Libertad /" But Miramon
was not disposed so tamely to submit.
Rallying a portion of a regiment whom
heeneountered in the Callo deC'apuchi
nas—one of the broadest streets in the
city—he formed them in line of battle
and prepared to defend himself to the
last. One of the first shots fired struck
Miramon in the face and lodged under
the left eye, blinding him for the time
being. A citizen surgeon, whose house
was near, attempted to extract the bul
let, but in the excitement of the moment
only made it worse, and before Mira
mon could recover himself he and his
whole troop were surrounded and tak
en prisoners. Meanwhile Maximilian
had been joined at the Cerro tie la Cam
pana, or Bell Height—a fortified hill
commanding the other extremities of
the city—by General Mejia, Castillo
and Avellano, and Prince S'dm-Salm
and others of his officers, but it was
quickly evident that resistance or escape
was equally impossible. Four battal
ions of infantry and nearly the whole of
the liberal cavalry surrounded the hill.
A large white flag was accordingly sent
down from the Cerro, and the Emperor,
with his principal officers, surrendered
unconditionally to Gene al Corona.
A GOOD JOKE. —Many years ago, j
when church organs first came in use, i
a worthy old clergyman was pastor of
a church where they had just purchased
an organ. Not far from the church
was a large town pasture, where a great
many cattle grazed, and among them
a large bull. One hot Sabbath, Mr.
Bull came up near the church grazing,
and just as the Rev. Mr. B was in J
the midst of his sermon—"boo-woo
woo," Went the bull.
The parson paused, looked up at the
singing seats, and, with a grave face,
said:
"I would thank the musicians not to
tune their instruments during service ;
it annoys me very much."
The people stared, and the minister
went on.
"800-woo-woo," went the bull again,
as he drew a little nearer the church.
The parson paused again and address
ed the choir.
"I really wish the singers would not
tune their instruments while I am
preaching."
The congregation tittered, for they

John Ruskin, in the Crown of Wild
Olives , characterizes in his trenchant
style, those money as who like to make
imitators of Judas:
"We do great injustice to Iseariot, in
thinking him wickedaboveallcommon
wickedness. He was only a common
money-lover, and like all money-lov
eiw didn't understand Christ; couldn't
make out the worth of him. Hedidn't
want him to be killed. He was horror
struck when he found that Christ would
be killed; threw his money away in
stantly, and hanged himself. How
many of our present money-seekers,
think you, would have the grace to
hang themselves, whoever they killed?
But Judas was a common, selfish, mud
dle-headed, pilfering fellow ; his hand
always in the bag of the poor, not car
ing for them. He didn't understand
Christ, yet believed in him much more
than most of us do; had seen him do
miracles, thought he was quite strong
enough to shift for himself, and he, Ju
das, might as well make his own Ii i tie
bye-perquisites out of the affair. Christ
would come out of it well enough, and
he have thirty pieces. Now that is
the money-seeker's idea, all over the
world. Hedoesn't hate Christ, butcan't
understand him—he doesn't care for
him—sees no good in that benevolent
business; makes his own little job out
of it, at all events, come what will.
And thus, out of every mass of men—
your 'free first' men, whose main ob
ject is to make money. And they
make it—make it in all sorts of unfair
ways, chiefly by the weight and force
of money, or what is called the power
of capital; that is to say, the power
which money, once obtained, has over
the labor of the poor, so that the capi
talist can take all its produce to him
self except the laborer's food. That is
the modern Judas' way of'carrying the
bag' and 'hearing what is put therein.'"
CURE FOR TOBACCO CHEWING.—A
friend gives the following peculiar case
of tobacco chewing and its cure: A
genth man in this vicinity was exces
sively fond of the weed. A whole pa
per made just three "quids" for him.
His better half was a neat woman.
She disliked tobacco, and especially did
she dislike the appearance of a pile of
"old soldiers" back ofa fire-board, where
the gentleman was in the habit of
throwing them. They were ugly look
ing customer-, large and nasty. The
gentleman himself was otherwise neat,
and took pleasure in spending his eve
nings in his well-furnished parlor.
His lady finally determined to make
the "old soldiers" in the corner as odi
ous to him as possible, and the next
day she gathered them all together,
and added all the outsiders; she had
no difficulty in getting enough, as the
gentleman not only chewed large 'cuds'
but changed them often. She placed
them in conspicuous places on the beau
tiful Brussels carpet; in the centre ot
the room she placed a "king pile," com
posed of five of the largest and coarsest.
Around stood on end the sentinels in
regular order. The whole were made
to the best advantage, and they really
did themselves credit. They stood up
on end in full proportions.
At dark, thegas-lights were brilliant
ly burning, and shortly after the gen
tleman came in. He stopped short,
and at first commenced some hard epi
thets, then he burst into loud laughter,
and his wife came in to see what the
matter was. "Who did this?" said he;
"who put these nasty things here?
they'll ruin your carpet;" and he rang
for the servant to clear them away,
when his wife interposed, "these things
came directly from your mouth," said
she. "Are they nasty? will they spoil
the carpet?" And then looking at him
sharply, she added, "if these things are
fit to be held in my husband's mouth
for hours, they are certainly no disgrace
to lie upon the carpet which we tread
upon."
"Just so," said the husband, and for
some reason he has not had any tobac
co in his mouth since that time.
POWBK OF HUMBUG.— An individual |
owned a small tavern near the field of |
Waterloo, the scene of the last great ac
tion of Napoleon, and was frequently
questioned as to whether he did not
possess some relics of the battle, and he
as invariably and honestly answered
in the negative.
He was very poor, and one day, while
lamenting to a neighbor not only his
poverty but the annoyance to which
travelers subjected him, his friend cut
him short with:
"Well, make one help the other.
Make some relics!"
"But what can I do?" inquired the
poor man.
"Tell them that Napoleon or Wel
lington entered your shop during the
battle and sat on that chair."
Not long after au English tourist en
tered the tavern, and inquiring for rel
ics was told the chair story. The next
comer was told that Wellington had
taken a drink, and the Wellington tum
bler was accordingly sold. The third
gazed with breathless wonder on the
nail on which Bonaparte hung his hat.
The fourth purchased the door posts be
tween which he entered, and the fifth
became the happy possessor of the floor
upon which Napoleon had trodden.
At last advices, the fortunate tavern
keeper had nt a roof to cover his head,
and was sitting on a bag of gold in the
center of a deep pit, formed by selling
the earth upon which the house stood.
LIME OX ORCHARDS.
j The value of lime for many purposes
in agriculture is no longer a theoretical
j question, but an admitted fact. On
orchards its effects have been surprising
—and such indeed as to surprise the
most incredulous. For many uses,
lime in the stone is preferable, if it is
of a character that admits of its being
reduced to a condition sufficiently line
for its application, for it then contains
about fifty per cent, of carbon, a prin
ciple which enters largely into vegeta
bles. Calcination, or burning, drives
off the carbon, and renders caustic lime
mild. In its freshly slacked state, its
application is, in most cases, attended
with disadvantages as its causticity
proves harmful in many ways. In re
gard to the application of lime on
orchards, it may be remarked that the
fall is perhaps as favorable a season, on
many accounts as can be selected. Its
effects are slow and lasting, and when
spread on orchard ground in August,
or even in September or October, it will
be felt the following year ; whereas, if
applied in the spring, no advantage
will accrue till the subsequent year,
which would be a dead loss to theowner
of one year's use of the pecuniary capi
tal involved in the outlay of the expe
riment. In some cases, the favorable
effects of lime have been clearly appar
ent for twenty years.
Old lime from the walls of buildings
is an excellent stimulant for fruit trees
of all kinds; it acts immediately, and
it acts long. In one case a farmer who
was engaged in repairing his dwelling,
ordered a portion of the old plastering,
taken from the walls ofone of his rooms,
to be thrown from a window, where it
was accidentally brought in contact
with a plum tree which had always
been unproductive, and a mere, "cum
berer of the ground." The subsequent
year, however, it was filled with fruit.
This change was owing to the lime,
doubtless, as similar results have fol
lowed itsapplicationin various, indeed,
in innumerable, cases of a like character.
We advise every person, therefore, who
is the owner of an old and decayed
orchard to lose no time in giving each
tree a dressing of lime, or, better still,
if he can procure it, of old plaster. A
peck to a tree of middling size, and a
half a bushel to a largeone, is sufficient,
according to the experience of many;
but though we would by all means rec
ommend the application ofeven these
small quantities, when larger quanti
ties cannot be procured, yet we would
sooner advise a bushel and a half. We
have no more faith in starvinga tree or
a hill of corn than we have in starving
an ox or a horse. The "penny wise
and pound foolish" policy, adopted by
so many, is a bad one for the farmer.—
It always results in loss.— Cor. German

FARMER'S CORN PUDDING.—Set on
the fire a large pot of water, which
must boil hard by the time the pud
ding is mixed. Put one quart of milk
by i self into a saucepan, and give it a
boil; when it has come to a boil, pour it
into a deep pan and stir in it a pint of
molasses, then add by degrees three
pints of Indian meal, and lastly a tea
spoonful of ground cinnamon or gin
ger ; have ready a pudding bag, dip it
into boiling water, shake it out, then
pour the hatter into the bag, tie firmly,
leaving about one-third vacant, as it re
quires room to swell; put the bag into
the large pot of boiling water, co.ver it
closely, and lot it boil steadily for at
least three hours, four will not be too
long. While boiling it should be turned
frequently; as the water boils away,
replenish it with more water kept boil
ing for this purpose in another kettle ;
on no account put in cold water, as that
will render the pudding heavy. Turn
it out of the bag immediately before it
goes to the table, and eat with butter
and molasses. It will be found excel
lent,
FLOWERS.-HOW the universal heart of
man blesses flowers! They are wreath -
ed around the cradle, the marriage al
tar, and the tomb. The Persian in the
far East clelights in their perfume, and
writes his loves in nosegays. While
the Indian child of the great West
claps his hands with glee as he gathers
the abundant blossoms—the illumina
ted scriptures of the prairies. The Cu
pid of the ancient Hindoos tipped his
arrows with flowers, and orange buds
are the bridle crown with us, a nation
of yesterday. Flowers garlanded the
Grecian altar, and they hang in votive
wreaths before the Christians shrine.
All these are appropriate uses. Flow
ers should deck the brow of the youth
ful bride, for they are in themselves a
lovely type of marriage. Tney should
twine round the tomb, tor their perpet
ually renewed beauty is a symbol of the
resurrection. They should festoon the
altar, for their fragrance and their beau
ty ascend in perpetual worship before
the Most High.
VEAL CAKE.— BoiI six or eight eggs
hard; cut the yolks in two, and lay
some of the pieces in the bottom of the
pot; shake in a little chopped parsley;
some slices of veal and ham, and then
eggs again; shaking in after each some
chopped parsley, with pepper and salt,
till the pot is full; then put it in water
enough to cover it, and lay on it about
an ounce of butter; tie it over with a
double paper, and bake it about an
hour; then press it down together with
a spoon, and let it stand till cold. It
may be put into a small mould, and
then it will turn out beautifully for a
supper or side-dish.
NEVER chew your words. Open the
month and let the voice come out. A
student once asked "Can virchue, for
tiehude, gratichude, or quietehude,
dwell with that man who is a stranger
to rectichude!" The words here are
badly chude.
—lt is not a little remarkable that
Charleston, the head and front of the
