These ImmhIs were, iakeu.-- The controlling motive with capital­ ists. men of moderate means, farmer, and mechanics, in taking these bonds, was not superiority to Uivesttneut. but because they were glad to aid their country. In some of the darkest hours of that struggle it required nerve inil loyalty among tlie masse* to carry these bonds. The "copperhead*" were solemnly declaring that the bonds would not tie worth n rent and now#«nd iheji ndverslty woilid enahrond the Un­ ion catise in sucli doubt as to make the most patriotic heart fear lest the evil prophecy might prove true.

An unsuspected weakness In our national banking system may be de- veleped during the year. 6.

Tito old ui iii Beii ligo keeps a pretty sharp eye on his daughter Mary, and many a would-be lover has taken a walk after a few mitiutes conversation with the hard-hearted parent. The old chap is stuck this time, however, aud cards are out for a wedding, After the lueky young man had been spark­ ing Mary for six months, the old geutleitiaii ateppeil In as usual, request­ ed a private >confab, and led off with: "You uera like a nioe young man, and peruana jou are. la love with Maryf" '•Yes I am,** waa the honest reply. "Haven't said anything to be* yet, have yon?** "Well,no: but t think aha recipro­ cates my affection,** ,, -Does, eh? Well, let me fsH you some thing'. Her mother died a lunatic, and there's no doubt that Mary has in* herlted Iter Insanity.'* "I'm willing to tajce tbe chances,** re­ plied the lover. * Yes. but you see Mary baa a terrible temper. 3IMI has twlrt drawn a knife ou me with tli* Intent to commit mur- der." "Put,used to that--got a sister just like Iter,** was tlie answer. 'VAnd you should know that I have sworn a solemn oath not to give Mary a cent of my property,** oowt inned the father. " Well I'd rather start In poor »antl build np. There's more romance In it ** The old man had one more shot In his carbine,*nd he said; "Perhaps 1 ought to teH yo« that Mary's mother ran away from home %vlth a butcher, aud that all Iter rela­ tions died In the poor-houee. These things might be thrown up in after years, aud now I warn you." "Mr. Bendlgo,** replied the lover. "I have heard all this before, and also tluit yon were on trial for forgery, had to jump Chicago foir bigamy, and serv­ ed a year in States Prison for cattle stealing. I'm going to marry Into your family to give you a decent repu­ tation! There--no tlunks--good-bye T Mr. Bendigo looked after the young man . with his mouth wide open, and wneu lie could get uls jAw^ togeiti^r be -•aid*' f , "Some infernal hyena lias went aud giveu me away ou my dodge!" Tit* Whoto Art of Itlnlng. People will kiss.yet not one la i hundred kuow* bow to extract bliss from lovely Hps, no more than they' k»vW how to make diamonds from char­ coal. Ami yet it Is easy, at least, for us. This little Item Is not alone for young beginners, but for many who go at It like bunting coons. First know whom you are to kiss. Don*t make a mistake; although mistakes may be good. Don't jump np like a trout for a Hy, stid sniftuk a woman On the neck.or on the ear, or on the corner of the fore­ head. or Oft the end of her uose, or slop over on her waterfall, or bonnet rib­ bons. In haste to get through. Tbe gentleman should W a little the taller. He should have a t?!cati fave.n kind eye, ami mouth full of expression instead of tobacco. Don't kiss everything. In­ cluding nasty little dogs, male or fe­ male. Dou't sit down to it; stand up. You need not be $oo ntixIons to get In a crowd. Two persons are plenty to make a perfect kiss. The presence of more than two spoils the sport. Stand firm. It won't I tort aftvr yon get used to It. Take tlie left hand Of the lady in your right hand. Let your hat go fo--an.V place out of tlie way. Throw the left hand gently over the left shoulder of the lady, and lei yonr right hand, clasping her left, fall down upon your right aide. Don't be In a hurry. Draw her gently to your lov­ ing heart. Her head will fall lightly upon your shoulder, aud a handsome shoulder-strap It makes. Don't be in a hurry. Sen d a little life flown the lef/ arm, am* let it know Its business. Her left hand Is In your right. Let there be au expression to that not Ilka the grnp of a vise, but a gentle clasp, full of electrk'ttf, thought, and respect.-- Don't be In a hurry. Iter head lies rarelossly on your shoulder. Ton are uearlv heart to heart, l.ook down IH- to her half-closed eyes. Gently. „ yet manfully, press her to your bosom.-- Stand firm, ami Providence will give you strength for tiie ordeal. Be orave, but do not be iu a hurry. Her lips al­ most open. Lean lightly forward with your head, not th« body. Take good aim. The lips meet! The eyes close! Tlie heart opens! The soul Is In ec- •ta#y! The trouble and sorrow of life are forgotten! Heaven open* before you! Tho world shoots from under your feet as a meteor Hashes across the evening sky (don't be afTaid).-- Tbe nerves dance before the just created alter of love, as sephyrs dance •mid the dew-trimmed dowers--the heart forgets Its bitterness, and the art of kis»ing is learned. No noise, oo ftiss, M fluttering and sqnlruiingi like a "hook-Impaled worm. Kissli.g dosen't hurt, and It dose n't require a brass ring to make It legal. Don't flop down upon a beautHn! mouth as if spearing frogs. Do liot muss her hair, rumple hercoilar, or crease her rich ribbons, and leave her mussed, rum pi' ed, and contused, and above alii don't grab and pull tlm lady as if she ware a struggling colt.

Tlie churches yesterday were fully at­ tended ami the decorations exceeded all past experience, Washington, In spite of Us reputation as a wicked city, is acity of churches, and its bad namo cornea from its transient population Pbleffy--tlie lobbyists and strikers who come hereto make money through Congress and to spend It in dlsipatton. I jim gtail to #e able to record that In the character of our visitors Washing­ ton rejoices in a marked Improvement of late, aud tho average Congressman is much better than a few yew* ago, less ghreu tft his oops aud monk to hie duties and the cultivation of aortal and religious improvement. I am Dot onn of those who mourn for tho past as an age of intelloctnal giants. In the first place, that sentiment Is in good part s myth. We have just as able men in Congress as we ever had, and the aver­ age are inucn abler, that Is where wo get deceived In our estimate of tho "giants." Tbe Webster's, Clay's and. CalhouiiK had an average ot small tim­ ber to contest With, aud loomed ap grandly above It. The giants of to day have to rise above the average of very able men, and therefore do not stand out as conspicuously as then. A* Waslilugtonlaus, however^ we, rejolco chiefly lu the fact that the average |» improved utorally more tlutn iutellctn- allv, for the Capital is improved mora essentially by this fact than by all tlm brains that could be Ittiported Into lt.r i:-"-- ; ' ' • " Tbe t SetTetaty of tfa ^avy has set at rest the scare about the Yellow ' Fever appearing on board tho Uuitsd States Steamer Plymouth, It seems that that Steamer had not boon prop­ erly trosen Out And tumigatetf. Tlmt story was concocted in order to defeat the bill before Congress appropriating money to bttlld a refrigerating vessel to disinfect Incoming vessel at ex­ posed points, and was Invented by cer­ tain strikers who have been unable to obtain brlbes for kee^l^nMU or help­ ing It through. Tlie fellow fever bill * lands on its merits^ ond the Secretary says tlie system proposed will be suc­ cessful if lie can judge from experi­ ments. Tho necessity for tblt bUI, which has passed tlie Senate, ato succinctly stated to be. ^ 1st Southern Ports, without fSCO|i$^ tlou, are totally unprovided wltji ||| means of didulecting ships. Sud. The proposed Refrigerating Ship Is also i complete Disinfecting ship, carrying apparatus for through purification by all known processes, tat additiou to powerful freezing machin­ ery, whereby to produce & temperature below xero, Farhreiiheit. 3rd* Merchant ships onoo infected, have to remain infected on leaving Southern Ports, for want ff adequate aypliauces to disinfect thetn. 4th. Most Navy veasels that Itaft been frozen out have been protector from a reocurrence of Yellow Fever, and the exceptional failures are due to the unsystematic manner In which all disiufectiug processes have liit)j@r§g| been carried out, 6th . The National Board ofHealtlt have recommended the construction . of the Refrigerating 8lilp, stating that **Tbe results can baldly fall to be of considerable scientific value," , Of a similar nature to Mils assatdt upou this measure Is the attftek of tlm strikers ou Captain Kads, and ti^e as­ sertion that lie baa not «ocomp)ksho4 iwhat he promised on the Mississippi jetties. Tliese falsehoods mm set at rest by tlie report of tlie Army ' engin­ eers aud hj all Impartial investigators who show that the work is eye it mora satisfactory than was anticipated, lu a letter to Um New York Vei&umf. Captain ®*ds thoroughly exposes en# falsehoods of his assailants, but titer* is one thing be cannot do soefieetualt? as those who reside here all the time and that is to expose tile mercenary methods of these strikers who pouui». upon every objegt wltluh does not p«f theoi liberally.
