Ike lentoe democrat IM • - I eilefonte, pa. A Dinner with Washington The dinner usually consisted of throe courses —meat anil vegetables, followed by some kind of pastry, and last hick ory-nuts and apples, of which Wash ington was very lond. Iho meal lasted about two hours when the table was cleared off, and the leaves taken out, so as to allow it to ho shut up in a circle, when Mrs. Washington presided, and front her own silver tea service served the guests with tea and cnfTee, which were handed round by black servants. Supper was at nine, and the table remained spread till eleven. It consisted of three or four light dishes, with fruit and walnuts. When the cloth was removed each guest in turn was called upon for it toast, which was drank by all, billowed by conver * sation, toasts, and general conviviality. General ChuStellux, a member of tin French Academy, who came out, will Kocbamheau as his aide, with tin rank of Major General, traveled over the country and published an account of his travels. In this bo speaks ot his visits to Washington, and d -serihe theso entertainments as delightful and savs that "General Washingtoi toasted and conversed all the while,'' and adds : "The nuts are served hall open, and the company are never done eating aud picking them."' Washing ton entertained a great deal. Not only French officers but the leading state* men of the country visited hint to consult on the state of atfairs. Baron Steuben's headquarters were on the Fiskhill side of the river, and he fro quently came over to drill the Life- Guard in military tactics, with a view of making officers of them, should the | war continue. Their encampment ' was just hack of headquarters. On these occasions he was accus tomed to dine with Washington. Once several guests were present, and among them Robert Morris, who had come I up to consult with Washington aliou! j the state finances. During the dinner he spoke very bitterly of the bank j rupt condition of the Treasury, anil I his utter inability to replenish it, when j Steuben said, "Why, are you not j financier? Why do you not create j funds ?" "I have done all I can," replied Morris,"and it is impossible for ine to do more." "What!" said the baron ; "you re main financfer without finances ? Then 1 do not think you as honest a man as my cook. He came to me one day at Valley Forge, and said, "Baron, I am i your cook, and you have nothing t" cook hut a piece of lean beef, which is hung up by a string before the fire. Your wagoner can turn the string, ami do as well as I can. You have prom ised me ten dollars n month ; but a you have nothing to cook, I wish to be I discharged, ami not longer he charge able to you.' That is an honest fel- ; low, Morris." Morris did not join very heartily in the laugh that followed. Washington was accustomed to hold a levee every week, while the officers took turns in giving evening parties : and, not to mortify those who were too poor to furnish expensive entertain ments, it was resolved that they should consist only of apples and nuts. There was no dancing or amusement of any kind except singing. Every ladv or gentleman who could sing was called upon for a song. Gnce Mrs. Knox broke over the rule, and gave what at that time was considered a grand ball, which Washington oi>ened with the beautiful Maria Golden, of Golden ham. She and Gitty Wynkoop aud Sally Jansen, the latter two living near old Paltz, were great belles in the sparsely settled country, aud the three wrote their names on a window glass with a diamond ring, and there they remain to this day.— T. Ifend (ey, in Harprr * Magnriw. Profane Girls. The Danville Sun speaks thus : As a representative of this paper was going down Mill street the other even ing, he was greatly suprised to hear the most vulgar and profane language coming from the mouth of a girl about sixteen years ol age, who was accom panied by a young mao of question able character. .She was dressed well and neatly, aud had the appearance of a respectable person, but from the words that we overheard wo judge that she is on the road to ruin. This is not an exceptional case. There are many other girls of the same order in this town, and it is all owing to the negligence of parents in allowing their daughters to promenade through the streets at night without proper escorts. Parents would do well to watch the actions of fheii daughters, just buddiog into womanhood, more closely and thus save much pain and regret later on. "Ah, old fellow," said an Austin gentleman, meeting another on the avenue, "so you are married at last. Allow me to congratulate you, for I hear you have an excellent and accom plished wife." "I have, indeed," was the reply; 'she is so accomplished. Why, sir, she is perfectly at home in literature ;at home in music; at home in art ; at home in science—in Aiort at home everywhere except —" "Ex cept what!" "Exceptant home." Points for the Dnuiarrieil. "I understand," began the president, as the meeting was opened in due form, "dnt quite a number of de mem bers of dis club mi) gwino to he mar ried donrin' de summer. Dat's all right, an' I wish 'em much j.iy nn' shall bo glud to witness do obsequies of each an' ebery one. But I want to say a few words in general. In de fust place, am you gwine to mar'y fur love or fur a sort ol business partner ship? If you answer fur love, let t4a warn you to be sartin <lat you doan' mistake the sentiment. Many a young man who thought his heart torn by love has plunged into matrimony -to diskiverdat he simply had tin admira tion for a 830 set of false teeth and a high instep. If you nnswer fur n sort o' bizneas partnership, let me warn you not to expect too much. You won't love de woman an' she won't trust you. It will be a sort o' ho-s trade in which both parties will he cheated aud both emit inner to be mad j about it. You can get along after n fashion, atul people who se. her on j your arm at a oiritis, won't know how von fight at home. If you mils'marry, let common sense have a show in the rau.-ackshun.

Bofo' you fall in love wid a gal who looks too sweet for any thing in a red plush sacque, figure on how many sieli duds yer income will afford her.

Didn't Hit Him- A tough old debtor in a town near the Hudson river entered a grocery the other morning, and stood for a long time looking at an exhibition of plug tobacco. The grocer felt certain that the old man wanted ere.lit, and he determined to head him off. He therefore oliserved : "I have to sell that tobacco for cash down 1" "You do, eh ?" sir. Tobacco is rash on the nail." "How's sugar?" "That's cash." "Tea and coffee?" "Gash —all cash. Soap, candles, kerosene, butter, lard, pota toes, flour, rice, hams, starch —all are spot cash." The old man stood and looked over I the stock for five minutes, and then heaved a long sigh, and replied : "Well, Mr. Waters, that don't hit me worth a cent. I wish to get trusted for three dozen clothespins!" The Gas-Meter Man. •'I would not believe that man under >oath."said a witness, excitedly. "Do you know him well?" was asked. "No; I never spoke to him." "Do you know that he ever broke an oath?" "Well, no." "Then why do yon believe that his testimony is unreliable?" "Because he is the man that comes around every month to inspect my gas meter." What.
