TIONESTA, PA., THE CIIARACTKtt OF WAHlNTO. ! The following synopsis of the char acter of Goorge Washington, is taken from a letter written by Thos. Jeffer son in 1814. It has become fashiona ble in these days to treat the memory of Washington, if not with contempt at least with indifference and slightiug words. It will be seen from the ex tract given below, that he was all that history claims fur him, and his mem ory deserves tho reverence of the peo ple as much now as when ho was the iviri'' idol of the nation : I think I know General Washing- Ion intimately and thoroughly; and were I cauea on to uciinrnie nis coar- actcr, it should be itt. terms like these : "11 is mind was great and powerful, without bejag of the very first order ; bis penetration strong, ttnugh not so acute as that of a Newton, Bacon or Locke : and as far as he saw on jung ment was ever sounder. It was slow in operation, being little aided by in vention or imagination, but. sure in conclusion. Hence the common re mark of his officers, of the advantage he derived from councils of war, where, hearing all suggestions, he selected whatever was beet; and certainly no General ever planned his battles moro judiciously. But if deranged during the course o the action, it any mem ber of his plan was dislocated by sud den circumstances, he was slow in t readjustment. 1 he consequence was, that he often failed in the field, aud rarely against an enemy iu station, as at Boston and York. He was hienna ble of fear, tueeliog personal dangers with the calmest uuconcern. i urhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw a doubt, but, when once decided, going through with Ins purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was most pure, bis justice the most inflexi ble I nave ever known, no motives of interest or consanguinity, of friendship or hatred, being able to bias his decis ion. He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man. Ilia temper was naturally irrita ble aud high-toned; but reflection and resolution had obtained a firm and ha bitual ascendancy over it. If ever, however, it broke its bounds, he was most tremondous in his wrath. In his expenses he was honorable, but exact; liberal in contributions to whatever promised utility; but frowning and unyielding on all visionary projects, and all uuworthy calls on his charity. His heart was not warm in its affec tions, but he exactly calculated every man's value, and gave him a solid es teem proportioned to it. ilia person, you know, was fine, his stature exactly what one would witth, his deportment easy, exact and noble ,- the best horse man of his age, and the most graceful figure that could be seen on horseback. Although in the circle of his friends, where he might be unreserved with safety, be toon a Iree share in conver sation, his colloquial talents were not above mediocrity, possessing neither copiousness of ideas, nor fluency of words, in public, when called on tor a sudden opiuion, he was unready, short aud embarrassed. Yet be wrote readily, rather diffusely, in on easy and correet style. I his be bad acquired by conversation with the world, for his education was merely reading, writing and common arithmetic, to which he added surveying at a later day. His time was employed in action chiefly, rcadiug little and that only in Agri culture aud Eugliuli history. His cor respondence became necessinly exten sive, and with journalising his agncul tural proceedings, occupied most of his leisure within doors. On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect; in nothing bad, in few points indilfer ent; and it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more tier fee tlv to make a man ereat aud to place him in the same conftel lation with whatever worthies have merited from man au everlasting re membrance. For his was the singular destiuy aud merit of leading the armies of his country succesfully through an arduous war, for the establishment o ita indepeudouce, of couductiug its councils through the birth of a gov ernment new iu its forma and priuci pies, until it had settled down into a quiet and orderly train ; and or scru pulously obeying the laws through tho whole of his career, civil and military ot which the history ot the world tur nishes no other example. These are my opiuions of General Washington, which' I would vouch the judgment scat of God, having been formed on an acquaintance of thirty years. Tit. Jkffkrson ja oiu man iu Jvenosiia, ma., ha his health ruiued by sitting up lit cold room next to where his daughter aud a young tcau were sparkiug. JULY 1, 187 L A UENl-IME; FRKX'll ROMANCE. One of those little romances of which the French are so fond, has lately taken place in Fari9, and is thus de scribed in a journal: Mr. Robert, a wealthy and highly accomplished gentleman elegant, well known not only for his valuabw col lections of paintings and media;val relics, but for his rare skill as a de signer and painter, hearing that one of his tenants, a Mr. IS., whom he had never seen, kept one of tha most ex tensive ateliers of fancy boxes and or namental object? Jin .trance, called on him w ith a view to make his acquaint-, anc.' a Enlcrin J"he counting room ho found a good natured, eccentric gentleman of middle age, who greeted hini, anti exclaimed : "I suppose that you also have seen my advertisement and come to . apply for that situation as designer f" For a joke, Mr. Robert replied that ho had. Mr. li. supplied him wim paiuts and brushes, and requested him to nroduce a design for a. casket. Mr. Robert soon found that what Mr. B. really wanted was an artist who would strictly carry out his own ideas, and that these were pure, and formed on au extsnsive knowledge of art. In short time he produced a sketch which suited the employer toadot-"a point. Mr. Robert very gravely engaged himself, exacted good wages, and in sisted on having several new articles of furniture' placed in the room which was assigned to him. But when he was introduced to the work rooms and found one hundred and fifty girls, many of them young and beautiful, busily employed, and was informed that he would bo required to supply them with designs and show the young ladies how they wore. to be carried out, the young artist began to feel as if he should have to be carried oui himself being very susceptible. Working tor a living, said lie to himself, "is not entirely devoid of at tractions. Iiet us work. Mr. Robert being an accomplished rtist, delighted his employer, and he soon found a remarkable fascination n seeiog his designs realized in steel silver, enamel, or wood. He took pleasure hitherto unknown, in seeing his works in show-windows aud finding hem in the boudoirs of hia friends, This workshop life was of course con cealed from "society, nor did his em plover suspect that his artist was his audlord. iiut Mr. Kohert soon lound a more intense object of fascination in the daughter of Mr. B., a young lady who also tool: part in the duties ot the atelier. In is damsel was as remarka ble for her accomplishments as for her extraordinary beauty, and Mr. Robert soon found that as regarded taste ant culture in all matter? which specially ntcrested her, he had never met with any one like her. fotep by step, the pair fell in love, and little by littl the artist ingratiated himself with the father, that the latter, after due uelib eration. consented to their union. Previous to the marriage the old gcnlleniun one day spoke of a dowry 'I shall give Marie OO.OOU tr, said he, with a little air of boasting. "Ah, mon gracon t" . "And, 1 suppose, added Mr. lvobort, gravely, "that I, too, must settle some thing on my wife. Well I will. 1 his caused a peal ot laughter.which was redoubled when the artist added : "And I will settle this piece of prop erty, house and all, with the building adjoining, on her. But what was their amazemeut when Mr. Robert drew forth the. title deeds, and said : "You seenMo forget that I am your landlord ? Isn't my name Robert ?" The young lady did not fault, but papa nearly died of astonish raeut aud joy. mere was a magnificent weauing, but the bridegroom has not given up business. He declares that there is as much amusement in being useful as in amusing cue's self. One of tlvfl best writers of the pres ent time asks : "What will not wo man do for the man she loves?" We answer, she will not eat onions while going to a party, no matter how much she loves him. ' A Western editor thiuks that the habit of carrying tobacco iu tho pistol pocket is a bad one. To meet a man on a lonely road, and see him reach for his tobacco box suggests unpleasant possibilities. - It is a beautiful eight, to attend an Arizona wedding. The brkle in white, the happy groom, tho solemn miuistor, the smiling parents, and from tweuty five to forty shot guns standing against the wall ready for use, make up a pan orama not soon forgotten.

A man living on Main St. went homo last evening filled up totliecollar with benzine. Feeliug rather "warm for the season." Mr. Snoozcr, for it was Snoozcr, took off his coat and boots, put on his slippers, and gutting the garden hose went out to sprinkle the reet, so as to make things cool arounu there. Now, it takes a quick, discern- ng, calculating eve and a steady hand to manipulate a hose in the day time. At night the difficulties arc multiplied. I3ut Mr. bnoozcr s miud was simply on the subject of spriukling. lie gave the hvdrant wrench several twists, and had on. a full head. After a few crackles and spurts, a steady stream was let fly right on tho boots and white linen pants of a man with a red rosebud on the left lapel. ot Ins coat, who was coming up from fi-,call on Fourth street. The man'stopped sud- deulv in surprise, and Bnoozer. '-notic ing tho mishap, in the true spirit t a thoroughbred gentleman, advance! to render an apology, when the nozzle was turned a quarter of an inch to the larboard, and poured a stream right againrt the stranger s immaculate bo som. The latter might have got red hot at this treatment, and shown fight, were it not impossible to do so uuder the cooling influences brought to bear, and to avoid further disaster, the rose bud and linen pants popped nrwuud the corner into an alley. Mr. bnoozcr was then proceeding quietly to cool off tho bricks of thp pavement, when a gentleman, with two ladies, two shawls, and one sore boil ou his arm, walked up from a Vine-street beer garden. To prevent another catastrophe, the hosctnan turn ed the squirting apparatus toward the open street, without the least intention of pouring about four gallons of Ohio river water down the backs ot a lady and gentleman who wero riding by in a tilted top buggy. The gentleman, in words usually expressed in print in dashes, told of his displeasure, aud uttered threats against Snoozer't life. Mr. bnoozer said it was purely duel dental that he was willing to take it all back that there was no sense iu crying overspilled water. WhUethus engaged iu an explanation, he was perfectly oblivions of the nozzle in hie hand, lie was as innocent as an un born babe of knowing that a stream, running at the rate of forty knots an hour, was saving through the open window of a second-story bedroom in the adjoining house, where a man and. his wile were sleeping, lie never dreamed of such a thing until female shrieks were heard and a man in white raiment appeared at tho window and fired off sevcu shots from a revolver Then Mr. Snoozer thought be would shut off steam. But he had mislaid the wrench. He, however, kept the gathering mob at bay until his wife rushed out, hauled him into the house, aud preventad riot utid bloodahcd. No arrests. llHUAKIXti IT UKNTI.V. "Yes, I remember that anecdote," the Sunday-school smporinteudeutsaid, with tho old pathos iu his voice, and the old sad look in bis eyes, "it was about a simple creature named Ilig gins, that used to haul rock for old Malthy. When the lamented Judge Bagley tripped and . fell ' down the court house stairs and broke his neck, it was a great question how to break the news to poor Mrs. Bagley. But finally the body was put into Higgins' wagon, and he was instructed to take it lo Mrs. Uagley, but to be very guarded and discreet in his language, and not break the news to her at once, but do it gradually and gently. Wheu Higgins got there with his sad freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bagley came- to the door. Then ho saiJ, "Does the widder Bag ley live here? . "The widow Bagley ? No, sir!" "I'll bet she d.'es. But have it your own way. Well, docs Judge Uagley live here? "Yes, Judgo Bagley lives here." "I'll bet he don't. But never mind it ain't for mo to contradict. Is the Judge in?" "No,iot at present."

Weasel didn't know much about poker, but he wanted lo learn, and every now and then (the party wos playing euchre) ho would show hm cards and ask if that wasn't a good hard. Once or twice ho bet, but some body always beat him, because ho knew so little about the game. Alter a while, ns Weasel was dealing, and when he had thrown three cards around to enen one, no stopped buh looked at his three. He looked a good while. Then he got excited. "Now, I know this is a good hand I've learned something about poker iu the last two hours, and I'll bet 825 on these three cards. It's just the best hand I ever saw." Jones had beaten Weasel on this sort of a banter already, and so be took up his cards. He had three aces a pretty good hand for three cards. Nobody could have full of fours, and his threes wore the biggest in the deck. He bent a pitying smile on old Wea sel au,l 8a1' ' "J think I've got some thing pretty good here, but I couldn't bet less than $50 on it. We're not playing poker.you know,and these out side issues are irregular. I bet $50." "Done 1" said old Weasel ; "What have you got?" They put up their roouey, and Ihcn Jones showed his hand. "Here's three aces, you old mutton head 1 You can't beat that' with any three cards on earth. You ought to know better thr.n to " Hold on," cried old Weasel, throw ing down the king, ten aud seven of hearts. "That's a flush, ain't it?" When you'vo got all of a suit that's a flush, I believe ;. and a flush always beats threes. I don't know much about poker, but it seems to me I've got tho best hand out of jail." Jones had forgotten about Hushes. In fact, the whole party rather under rated old Weasel because he was a re ligious man and not supposed to know anything about crads. i lint they kept a very watchful eye on hini after that, and when he spoko of poker hands they all insisted on slicking to the game they were playing. N, Orleans 1'icayunc. K . WEST POINT CAPUTS AS IIAUKBACK I'KliHIK.llhKS. Tke most amusing drill of tho ser vice took piaco this evening in the riding hall, near the lower dock. Twenty-six cadets, of the first class, commanded by Captain Rafl'erty, of the sixth cavalry, weut through the trying maneuvers of the school of tho soldiers, mounted, at 5:30 o'clock. The galleries were occupied by the board of visitors and more ladies than I have seen together here since the begiuning. I he cadets assembled, armed Willi sa bers and revolvers, on somo of the most troublesome horses in tho com mand. The young men went through troup exercise und the use of a saber iu cutting at a iulse head on a post about mo neigni oi a man. iiaviog given satisfaction at this part of tho trial of skill, the men were dismount ed aud ordered to unsaddle their horses. Then riding bareback, two at a time fired at a dummy, leaped a hur dle, thrust at a ring aud another falso head in one-tour ot the school, lheso attacks required rapidity aud coolness, because the revolver had to be drawn from the holster, cocked, fired, aud ro turned, the sabro drawu, the hurdlo leaped and the thrusts delivered in less than a minute. Few failed, des pite tho spirit of their steeds. Their performances elicited the highest en comiums, and were truly exciting. Mr. French, one of the cadets, narrow ly escaped serious injury from the fall ing of his horse at the hurdlo leap. Hurso and man, iu the most critical moment of the tilt, rolled over and over in tho arena, which was fortunate ly covered with tan bark, and saved tho limbs, it not the lite, ot tho cadet at least. N. Y. Times. On a certain occasion a father. speaking of his two sons, said "Johu is the most lionert man, but James is the better Christian." How oould that be? Can true piety exist without hon esty ? We apprehend there are some persons who think it can, but it so they are mistaken. Tho consistent Christian is a man of his word, a man of integrity, and upright man, in all his business transactions. There may be honesty whero tbeie is do piety, but where there is piety there will be tound honesty, bays Losgfellew i "Morali ty without religion, is only a kind ot dead reckoning, an endeavor to find our place on a oloudy sea by measur ing the distance we have to run, but without any observation of the heav enly bodies." An old clergyman spying a boy creeping through a fence exclaimed : "What! crawling through a fence 1 Fig do that." " e," retorted the boy, "uud old hogs go along tho street."
