3 OLD TIME CONDOLENCE. The follow-in is taken from the ! r-,.. .! A" "... Tin r,nhi;Bhl nt i Kinirston. Ulster County, by Sam uel Freer fc Son, on Saturday, Janu ary 4, 1S00, and is believfM to be the original copy : To the President of the U. S. The Senate of the United States respectfully take leave. Sir, to ex press to yo"u their deep regret for the loss their country has eustained in the death of General George Wash ington. This event, so distressing to all our citizens, must be particularly heavy U you, who have long been associated with him in deeds of pa triotism. Permit us, Sir, to mingle our tears with yours ; on this occa sion it is merely to weep. To lose 6uch a niau at euch a crisis, is no common calamity to the world ; our country mourns her Father. The Almighty Disposer of human events has taken from us our greatest Ben-, efactorand ornament. It becomes: us to submit with reverence to Him "who maketh darkness His Pa villion." With patriotic pride we review the life of our Washington, and com pare him with those of other coun tries who have been pre-eminent in fame. Ancient and modern names are diminished before him. Great ness and guilt have too often been allied, but his fame is whiter than it is brilliant. The destroyer oi na tions stood abashed at the majesty of his virtue. It rer-roved the tem perance of their ambition, and dark ened the splendor of victory. The ecenes closed, and we are no longer anxious lest misfortune should sully his glory ; he has traveled on to the end of his journey, and carried with iiim an increasing weight Honor : lie has deposited it safely where misfortune can not tarnish it where malice cannot blast it. Favored of Heaven, be departed without exhib iting the weakness of humanity ; magnanimous in death, the dark ness of the grave could not obscure his brightness. Such was the rmn whom we deplore. Thanks to God, his glory is consummated. Washington yet liv-s on earth in his spotless example his spirit is in Heaven. Let his countrymen con- Rpcntte the ruemorv f the heroic General, the patriotic statesman, and the virtuous sage ; let them teach their children never to forget that the fruits of his labor, and his ex ample, are their inheritance. I'KESIPKNT's ANswnt. I received with the most respect ful and affectionate sentiments in this impressive address, the obliging expression of your regret for the loss our Country has sustained in the death of ht-r most esteemed, belov ed and admired Citizen. In the multitude of my thoughts and recollections on this melancholy event, you will permit nie only to say, that I have seen him in the days of Adversity, in some of the scenes of his deepest and most try- inir perplexities. I have also at tended him in his highest elevation and most prosperous tHicitv, with uniform aumiration of his wisdom, moderation and constancy. Among all our original associates in tne memorable Leaugeofthe Continent in 1774, which hrst expressed the sovereign will of a tree at'on in America, he was the only one re maining in the General Govern' nient Although with a constitu tion more enfeebled than his, at an age when he thought it necessary to prepare for retirement, I feel myself alone bereaved of my last brother ; yet I derive strong consolation from the unanimous disposition which appears in all ages and classes, to mingle their sorrows with yiine, on this common calamity to the world. The life of our Washington cannot euffer by a comparison with those of other countries who have bet-si most celebrated and exalted by Fame, The attributes and decora tions of lioyalty could only have served toeclipsethe majesty ofthose virtues, which made him from being a modest citizen, a more resplendent luminary. Misfortune, hereafter, had he lived, could have sul lied his glory only with those superficial minds who, believing that character and action are marl ed by success alone, rarely deserves to enjoy it- Mutu-e could never Maf hi honor, and envy made him a sin gular exception to the universal rule For himself he had lived enough, to life and to glory. For h is fellow-citizens, if their prayers could have been answered, he would have leen immortal. For me his depart ure is at a most unfortunate mo ment. Trusting, however, in the wise and righteous dominion of Providence over passions of m n, and the result of their councils aci actions, as well as over their lives, nothing remains for me but hi mbi.e RKsrtJNATIOX. His example is now complete, and it will teach wisdom and virtue to Magistrates, 'citizens and men, not only in the present age, but in future generations, as long as histo ry shall be read.

The proprietors warrant it The Burial Serrlce. Everything waa now ready for the hnrial service. The cedar case rested nn snnnnrts at the door of the eepul cher. The casket was deposited therein. Meade Post, yo. 1, of Phil adelphia, represented by fifteen men, circled the casket. The commander took bis Post at the head of the cas ket, with officers and Post comman ders in the rear ; the chaplain Btood at the foot and the colors were plac ed upon it The following ritual eervice was then performed : Poet Commander Alexander Reed; Assembled to pay the last sad tribute of respect to our late commander and illustrious comrade, U.S. Grant; let us unite in prayer. The chap lain will invoke. Divine blessing. Pott Chaplain C. Irvine Wright. God of Battles! Father of all! Amidst this mournful assemblage we seek Thee with whom there is no death. Open every eye to behold Him who changes the" night of death into morning. In the depths of our hearts we would hear the celestial word : "I am the Resurrection and Life ; he that believeth in me.though hn were dead, vet shall he live." As comrade after comrade departs, and we march on with ranks broken, help us to be faithful unto-Thee and to each other. We beseech Thee, look in mercy on the widowB and children of deceased comrades, and with Thine own tenderness console and comfurt those bereaved by this event, which calls us here. Give them the "oil of jov for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness." Heavenly rather, bless and save our country with the j freedom and peace of righteousness j and through Thy great mercy, a Sav- ! lour s grace, and luy itoiy ppini favor, mav we all meet at last in joy j lefore Tli'v throne in heaven, and to thv great name thall be praise forev- er and forever. ! Amen, joined in all the Posts. A dirge was played, alter whicu the service continued, thus : Iet fummAtidr Alexander Reed: One by one, as the years roll on, we are called together to fulfill the last sad rites of respect to our comrades of the war. The present, full of the cares and pleasures of civil life, fades j away and we look back to the time ; rVif.n. khnniilrr to phoulder.on manv battlefields or around the guns of our j men-of-war, we fought for our dear old flag. We may indulge the hope that the spirit with which, on land and t-ea, hardships, privation and danger were encountered by our dead heroes, may never be blotted out from the history or memory of the generations to come a spirit un complaining, obedient to the behest of duty, whereby to-day our national honor is secure and our loved ones re.-t in peace under the protect ion of the dear old flag. May the illustri ous life of Mm whom we lay in the tomb to-day prove a glorious incen tive to the youth who. in ages to come, may be called upon to uphold the ue:-tiiiy of our country. As the years roll on we, too, shall have fought our battles through and be laid at rest, our souls following the long column to the realms above, as grim death Lour by hour shall, mark its victims. Let us so live that when that lime shall come those we leave behind may say above our graves : "Ileie lies the body of a true hearted, brave and earnest defender of the Republic." Senior Vice Commander Lewis W. Moore (.laying a wreath of ever green upon the coflin) : In behalf of the Post I give this tribute, a symbol of undying love for com rades of the war. ViceCouimander John A. Weider sheim (laying a buuch of flowers upon the coffin) : Symbol of purity, we oiler at tnis sepulcuer a rose. May future generations emulate the: unselfish devotion of even the low liest of our heroes ! Past Post Commander A. J.

Savers, chaplain-in-chief of the Department of Pennsyl vania, Grand Army of the Republic, delivered an address, after which Rev. H.Clay Trumbull offered pray er. The bugle call " Rest was then sounded. Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris then read the ritual service for burial of the Methodist Episco pal Church. And during these services the fam ily, as named, stood at the loot of the casket. Mrs. Grant was not there. Directly behit.d the luneral party stood Gen. Hancock. At his elbow was President Cleveland, Vice President Hendricks, and members of the Cabinet. Near the head of the car-ket on the right, Sherman Sheridan. Oscar AT i Idea Baby. On our way home we 6topped to pay our respects to Lady Wilde, whose small house in May fair was crowded with well-known personag es. Ocar was there, but not his wife.

While Longstreet was in front of Suffolk, writes iSed liuntline, peek ing at us with Wright's batteries, in stead of coming in and "wiping us out," as he could have done before we were reinforced, a report came in that be was massing a heavy force to the southeast of our lines, our weakest point of defense. To learn the true State of things at that point I was sent out with a small scout ing party by way of the Shingle company's canal into Lake Drum mond, to scout from thence south of the Dismal Swamp. Going in tkiffe, we reached a land ing on tolerably solid ground, and camped for the night on a little knoll in a dense thicket of scrub pine a half mile or thereabout from the point of landing. Of course, I had sentinels well out from our biv ouac, for we knew from many noises that the enemy waB not far from us. All went well through the night, and o ifin w made some coffee and cooked some venison that I bad got from old Duke up at the canai we came bv his place on the pre vious afternoon. The sentinels were called in to breakfast, for there ap- nPBTwl to be no immediate danger, We had just squatted to our coffee and grist when a souna etruca our ears which maae every mau m m lence spring to his feet and grasp his Sharp's carbine. It was the heavy tread of men. e had just got our arms in hand when a dozen men in rebel gray, lead by lieutenant over six feet tall and lean as a nail, broke ngn. tnrougo tLe bush in front of us. In a second, while both parties etood at a ready, the lieutenant cried out: , "Hold on, Yanks. If 'una won t shoot, we'uns'U hold fire. That cof- fee smells mighty good we uns haven t bad none ior a year. o vc ;lots of tobacco, though Tf roii'II stack vour arms out there and trust to us, you shall Bhnr in cofl'ee and crub. and then be free to go back and fight it out if you want to." . , ' Good as sweet corn. We uns are hungry, you bet !" They at once stacked arms, and we did the same, and while our cook nnt. more coffee and more steak on the fire, we sat there on the ground, the blue and the gray, and talked as if we were old friends. Not about the war and its causes, but about camp life and other things. And the way our coffee went down, with hard tack and juicy venison steak, would have satisfied the proudest landlord that ever brag ged of his table. Afar we had filled up, the Vir ginians brought out their tobacco and did their share of treating. The lieutenant had a huge canteen of old brand v. and that went the rounds. After we had cot so frienly I ask ed the lieutenant how he came to be ic on that point. He replied : UI was Kent to watch lest uos came this way in force to take us on the flank. Our main force is mass ed in front, where our batteries are readv to go in if 'uns weaken, and the old man (Longstreet) was afear ed you might come through the swamp and tickle us in the rear. What are 'uns doing here?" "Just on a hunt lor fresh meat ; got this deer last night." "Well, the best 'o luck to you. You don't feel much like fighting now, do you?" "Not if you boys don't It would be a pity to spoil this picnic that way." So we all shook hands, traded cof fee for tobacco, and separated, at least for then, friends. The next day on the lines we were all throwing lead and iron at each other. JnM For Fnn. Sometimes a lawyer meets his match on the witness stand. Not lone since there was a breach of promise case in an Ohio town. The usual bully-raging lawyer was there, but an unusual witness, in the shape of a country school marm met him. "Ah, miss," said the lawyer, when she had taken the oath, "will you state your name?" "Elizabeth Martin," she respond ed quietly. "Your occupation?" "Teaching school." "How old are you?" he said next, with a sidelong glance at the crowd. "Old enough to know that it is none of your business," she answer ed as gently as the ring dove coos. "Objection sustained," remarked the Court. The lawyer's face fell, bnt he brac ed up and went on, but without a smile. "Do you know the nature of an oath ?" he asked spitefully. "Oh, yes. I heard you damn the Conrt yesterday on the street for ruling against you, and I knew you were nut saying your prayers." The Court looked at the lawyer, the lawyer looked at the ceiling, and the witness looked at ease. "Coufine your answers to the case, if you please," 6aid rhe lawyer. "Now, will you tell the Court if you know the plaintiff?" "Yes, sir, I know her." "What do you know of her?" "More good than I do of a law- yer, sir." "Thanks. I know, yonr honor, that Joseph. Hill, the defendant, asked Mary Jackson, the plaintiff, if she would be his wile. It was done in my presence." "Indeed. Isn't that rather an un usual way of popping the question?" "I don't know, sir. I have had no experience. I happened to be pres ent beceuse 1 happened to come in to the room unexpectedly and saw the plaintiff sitting in the defendant's lap, and he, to show me that she had a right to save the furniture in that way, asked her again to be bis wife, as he had already done a week earlier." "By the way. Miss Martin, how much does tne plaintiff weigh ?" TJne hundred and tortv pounds, sir." "How do you know so- exactly?" "By the weight, of course." She smiled, and the lawyer went off on another tack. "Did you think the defendant was telling the truth ?" "Oh, yes ; you know he is not a lawyer." . "The witness will confine herself to the facta," said the Court I ery well, vour honor. I shall TJSY IIO Biaro attenfann In tha atato. ments of the attorney." l mat wui do," said the provoked lawyer "the witnees may stand down." "Mar it please the Court." she re-; plied, the witness wouia uae w hi. down. The Sheriff will please provide the witness with a chair," said the Court. "She seems to have sat down on everything else in the court room, and the Court sees no gooa reason why a chair should be ex empt" . The witness smiled placidly and took the chair to await another call to the stand. Grant and Lincoln. From the London Timet of July M. . In the person of General Grant, who died yesterday, after a period of most painful suffering borne with stoical fortitude and patience, the Republic of the United States loses its most conspicuous historical fig ure of the momentous era of the civil war. Lincoln has been en shrined in the popular memory even more by the tragic circumstances of his death than by his heroic sim plicity of character and his unswerv ing devotion to public duty. Sew ard and Sumner were politicians who rather influenced politicians than swayed the masses. But. with all his faults, Grant loomed larger in the people's eye than any of his rivals or coevals. He united the claims of the success ful commander in the field to those of the chief magistrate twice chosen by the voice of the nation to sit in the seat of Washington. If his na ture was ol metal of far more mix ed alloy thai that of the founder of the Republic, as even General Grant's warmest admirers must ad mit, it may be fairly pleaded that in this he was only the creature of his time. He was born and bred in a society which had descend d rap idly from the high level of early re publican purity, and his mature training was not euch as to maintain a lofty standard of political morals. But if Grant's faults were those of bis ace and country, his military qualities, on which the fortunes of the United btates at tne most criti cal moment depended, were his own. Others, both on the Federal and Confederate sides, were undoubted ly at least his eqaujs in strategical ability. His campaigns had not the fascination of Sherman's famous march or Stonewall Jackson's Crom wellian achievements, nor was his genius as a commander displayed with the dignified and nobis seren itv. undisturbed in defect as in vic tory, which marked the career of his great antagonist Iee. But in energy, in resolution and in iron tenacity of purpose Grant was nev er surpassed, and those qualities he brought into exercise at more man one crisis when the Unionist cause was in danger of moral enfeeble ment and political decomposition. His wonderlul career shows the pos sibilities of life in the American Re public, both in its ups and downs. His name will share with that of Abraham Lincoln the chief glories of American history in the Nine teenth Centurv. Hatband and Wife. "Carp," in an interesting sketch of the late John W. Garret, says of the extraordinary attachment be tween the famous railroader and his wife : John. W. Garrett bad an iron will, but his wife ruled him, fl though she did it in such a way that the old man never knew it Dur ing the forty years of their married life the two never slept a night apart and I think Mrs. Garrett's death hastened that of her husband. For some years back Mr. Garrett bad been in bad health from overwork, and the physicians had prescribed that his meals should be regular, and that business should not be talked at the table. Mrs. Garrett saw that these rules were carried out, and whenever the lunch or dinner time arrived, if Mr. Garrett was in the most important conversation on business involving millions, with euests whom the president would de light to honor, she would call them to the table and in a gentle way would admit of no refusal. Mr. Garrett or his friend might ask for just one minute more, but the kind old lady would reply in gentle tones: "These are our rules ;" and if Mr. Garrett would break out into some business exclamation or suggestion, Mrs. Garrett would at once object, and the railroad president at the head of the table would laughingly call attention to 'the manner in which he was domineered over, and would begin to talk of other sub jects. Mrs. Garrett was a plain, motherly little woman, full of char ities and as thoroughly wrapped up her husband as he was in her. She was posted on much of his work, and during her latter years he did most of his work at home in his library with several telegraph opera tors about him. Many of his call ers she would receive, and dismiss them without their ever bothering him. . She was seldom absent from his room even during the most im portant conversations, and she en j twined herself so closely about ev ery hbre or the old man s nature that when she died, about two years ago, his machinery did not work and he finally succumbed to the loss. loung, old and middle-aged, all experience the wonderful beneficial effects of Ayer's Sareaparilla.

Tho mastication of tobacco fur stimulating purposes id not so injur ious, perhaps, sta smoking. With a little attention to simple rules a luan oi phlegmatic temperament may chew tobacco for eighty or ninety years without serious results. For chewing purposes the mildest form of tobacco should be used. The or a nd known as pio;-taii' should be eschewed bv persona of sedentary habits. It contains a great deal of copperas aud molsses,und this com bination only agrees wirh seafaring persons or those who labor severely in the open air. Of all the tobaccos "Gravely" is probably the best, though the Vir ginia natural leaf is quite popular with connoisseurs. Fine cut should be avoided. It contains a great deal of nicotine, and is so prepared as to over-stimulate the salivary glands. Chewers should avoid falling asleep with a cud in their mouth. In ex pectorating care should betaken not to ej?cl hydraulicly through the teeth and irritate the gump. After chewing steadily for two or three hours the mouth should be cleansed. This prevents discolora tion of the teeth. No intelligent tobacco chewer will take a quid im mediately after partaking of spring onions. These rules are few and simple, but if followed they cannot fail to be of lasting benefit to every chewer. AVip York World. Almost a Fatal Mistake in Arkansaw. In an Arkansaw town, several nights ago, a mob, led by a desper ate man, marched to the jail, drag ged a murderer from a cell and hur ried with him to the outskirts of the town. Each man wore an expres sion oi determination features har dened by awful resolve. The pris oner attemped to speak, to beg for hi life, but the burly hands closed around his throat and the prayer he would -have uttered went out in an inarticulate gurgle. ; When the infuriated" men reach ed ajarge oak they baited. One of them threw a ropo oyer a limb. "Gentlemen," said the prisoner, "please give me a chance to say a word." "Be quick about it," some one shouted. "Gentlemen, I admit that the evi dence is against me, but as truly as we btand here I killed that man in self-defense." "Killed what man?" was asked. "Dill Bottleford.". "You ain't the man that killed Bottleford, are you ?" "Yes unfortunately, I am the man." "Men," shouted the leader, "we have come within one of making a terrible mistake." Then turning to the prisoner the leader added : "We thought, bit. that you were the man that stole Nat Boyd's fish trap. Hop down offen the box. You are free."

Thompson, a farmer, living two miles from North Branch Creek, in Allegheny county, was working in a corn field the other day, when he noticed what he sup posed to be bees swarming around the stump of an old oak tree stand ing in a lence corner. He approach ed, and rashly attempted to investi gate them by striking the stump with his hoe. In an instant a whole nest of wasps, probably 500 or COO strong, attacked him. They settled all over his head, and the man was soon rushing frantically to the house screaming ior neip. me wasps cluDg to him with remarkable per sistency, and when he reached his home his wife was compelled to beat them off with a broom. He had' been stung in a horrible manner. There was scarcely a piece 6f skin as big as a penny on his bead, which had not been pierced by the wasps' stings. He had just had his hair cut with a clipper, and the wasps found no difficulty in getting in their work all over his scalp. One of them had settled in his left eye and stung the eye-balL In two hours Thompson's head had swollen to a ruonstious size, his left eye pro truding, and be was a terrible spec tacle. The man suffered terrible agony until he expired. The most singular feature of the case is that the head has swollen considerably since deaiti. ban franeisco Chron icle.
