They were going to get up a Lady Wash
ington tea party for the benefit of their so
ciety. It was to come off" on the 2'2d.
Vnd on an afternoon a few days before, sev
eral met at the house of one of the number
to perfect the arrangements. It was deter
mined to irive a ;rand affair something
especially designed to transcend the tea
party by a rival organization last year. To
this purpose it became necessary to uevotc
the most careful thought of till the details,
and this was done. In fact, it would be
difficult to find a more conscientious com
mittee in a hamlet thze of anburv.
When all the particulars were arranged,
and the various stands and minor officers
assigned to the ordinary members ot the
society who were not present the impor
tant question as to who should take the
leading character was brought up. With
a view to do without the delay and ill feel
ing of balloting, the president kindly offered
to do Lady Washington herself. JShc said
that she felt it was not a favorable selection,
but she was willing to take it, so that there
need be no discussion or id feeling. If she
thought she had not placed a sufficient
modest estimate upon her quaUiications for
the post, she was presently set at rest on
that head. Her offer was received with

words, is to be the main source of all the
mechanical motion in that department of the
Exposition, was given its trial test, and found
to be in perfect working order, although the
parts were never put together before, but
were made at the Corliss Works and

"What do you think?"
willing to do it."
'Lady Washington never weighed 250
pounds," ominously hinted a thin lady,
with very light eyes.
'She had fat enough on her to crease a
griddle, which is more'n some folks can
claim," retorted the President, with any
thing but a dreamy expression to her face.
The tall lady's eyes rrrew a shade darker
and her lips shaped themselves as if they
were saying ''hussy," but it is probable
they were not.
'As our two friends are so likely to
cc," observed a lady whose face y-howed
that she was about to metamorphose herself
into a barrel ol prune oil, and precipitate it
into the troubled water, '! would suggest
hat I take the character."
"Humph !' ejaculated the President.
"Is there any objection to my being
Lady Washington ?" said the new part',
facing abruptly the President, and empty
ing out the oil and filling up the barrel im-
icdiatcly with a superior grade of vinegar.
"I don't know of any, if some one will
demonstrate that Lady Washington had a
wart on her nose," replied the Prcideut,
with unblemish serenity.
"Am I to be insulted," hotly demanded
the proprietor of the wart.
"The truth cuglit not to be
replied the President.
"I 'spose our President thinks sho would
be a perfect Lady "Washington' ironically
suggested a weak faced woman, who saw
her chance for taking the character deject
edly emerge from the small end of the horn.
"I don't know as I would be perfect in
that role," replied the President, but as
there will bo strangers present at the part',
I should't want them to think that the
nearest approach Panbury could make to
the dignitary of '7G was a toothless woman
down with the jaundice." And the head
oflicer smiled serenely at the ceiling.
"What do you mean, you insinuating
thing," hoarsely demand the victim of the
jaundice.
"Keep your mouth shut until you are
spoken to, then," severely advised the pres
ident. "I'm not to be dictated to by a mountain
of tallow," hissed the chromatic delegate,
flouncing out ol the room.
"I think we'd better get another presi
dent before we go any further," said a
.'harp faced woman, very much depressed
by the outlook for herself.
"It isn't hardly time for you yet," ob
served the president, with a significant look
at the sharp-faced woman, "we will have
to arrange for Lady Washington and George
Washington before we will need the
Jiatchtt."
The sharp-faced woman snatched up her
muff without the faintest hesitation, and
rushed out doors to get her breath. She was
immediately followed by the proprietor of
the wart, the thin lady disastrously con
nected with a griddle, and the toothless case
of jaundice. This left but the president
and a little woman who had yet said nothing.
"Has it occurred to you that you would
like to be Lady Washington ?" asked the
President, concentrating both her eyes on a
wen just under the small woman's left ear.
"Oh, no," gasped the small woman, im
pulsively covering up the excrescence with
her hand.
"Then I guess we'll adjourn sine Ze,"
said the president, and pulling on her gloves
she composedly took her departure.
And the tea party became the fragment
of a gloomy memory. A t ics.
the Exhibition." The following
description will be found interesting :
Mr. Corliss made the first sketch of the
engine, boilers and shafting nine months
and twenty-six days ago. The weight of
the engine, boilers and shafting now on the
ground is 1,'JG0,5SS pounds, and the
height, to deliver it on the grounds, cost
S") i 12 53. Three car loads are yet on the

It required ten trains of six cars each,
Almost every one who has had occasion
to buy a farm to and the have l'c a portion of
the purchase money on mortgage, must
have felt the injustice of being taxed for
what he does not really own. A man buys
a larm lor say oiu.uu j, ana c,uww ic-

mains, he pays taxes to me iua aiue oi
the $10,000, besides paying S200 m this
state or 500 in the west for the use of the
85,000 remaining unpaid on the land. Put
the government not only makes him pay
a tax on the whole 10,000, supposing the
farm to be assessed at the lull value, but
ccmcs the second time and taxes the holder
of the 85,000 he has "out at interest."
Now the man who has money at interest is
determined to make six per cent., at least,
on his money. He must do it to make it
worth his while to have money out at all.
And so he looks about to see how he can
fix things as to make it fall on the holder
ot the land. So he either takes it into con
sideration in fixing the price of the land, if
he is selling, or if he is merely lender on
land he extracts a heavy "bonus" or buys
a mortgage at a discount in order to make
himself whole ; and in this way the one who
is so unfortunate at to owe anything on
land, pays taxes twice on his indebted por
tion to one only when it is clear oi all incum
brances. This is a curious anomaly in
law. Usually it is thought to be the ge
nius of good laws to favor the honest, iudas-

ticular case of a tax on mortgages this law
is made to operate in just the other way.
lt seems remarkable that any tax should
have ever been imposed on mortgages un
der the head of property. If there be any
tax on income, the money derived from
mortgages might have there a legitimate
place. Put as property it is clearly absurd
as a mortgage is simply the evidence of
debt. It is no more property than is a
duly-attested receipt for money paid. It is
indeed nothing but a promise to give pro
perty in case certain stipulations are not
carried out in manner and form as afore-
Peace in the Family.
The following excellent rules of provid
ing peace in the family have been pven :
1. Remember that our will is likely to
be crossed every day, so prepare for it.
2. Everybody in the house has an evil
nature as well as ourselves, and therefore
we are not to expect too much.
. To learn the different temper and dis
position of each individual.
4. To look on each member of the fami
ly as one for whom we should have a care.
5. When any good happens to any one
to rejoice at it.
C. Wnen inclined to give an angry an
swer to ''overcome evil with good."
7. If by sickness, pain or infirmity wet
feel irritable, to keep a very strict watch
over ourselves.
8. To observe when others arc so suffer
ing, to drop a word of kindness and sym
pathy to them.
9. To watch for little opportunities of
pleasing, and to put little aunoyancca out
of the way.
10. To take a cheerful view of tho
weather and of everything, and -to encour
age hope.
11. To speak kindly to the servants; to
praise them for little things when you can.
12. In all little pleasures which may oc
cur, to put self last.
V.j. To try for "the soft answer which
turneth away wrath."
14. When we have been pained by an
unkind word or deed, to ask ourselves :
"Have I not often done the same aud becu
forgiven ?"
15. In conversation not to exalt our
selves, but to bring others forward.
10. To be very gentle with the young
ones, and trect them with respect.
17. Never to judge one another harshly,
but to attribute a good motive when we
can.
