Lea left Arlington Home, sometime after her husband— Gtn. Lee--had joined the Confederate army, she undertook to" carry with Iter all the *"* Washington relit!* which had been no jealously preierved by hct patriotic father, George Washington Parke CurtiS- ' Repeatedly she wrote to General McDowell, with whom (Die had been acquainted a*. her hatband's associate on the staff of Gen. Wool during the Mexican war, that she liad left nothing nt Arlington in any wny eonneeied with * the public or domestic li^of the Father 1 | of his Country. But there lately came 1 - , to Washington a curiosity hiintor—an•liqwnriett, vigorous and insatiable —an ; rnthnsiaat iu Washington relic* — C-lcb Lyon by name — who, disdaining the let- ' tei* of .Mrs. Lee, sought permission to 1 •in veil the deepest recesses of the estub- ' llahrneiit lie searched the house Irom 1 foundation to roo{.tree. •For'unate 1 search ! fhw-4«nht^ inner cellar he found 1 a priceless prizo^jn 4 variety of house- 1 'hold articles Identified as belonging to 1 Washington; hut which one !•»• famil- 1 iar with the liTstory of Mount Vernon ' and Arlington would have passed by as 1 of no et|ierial interest or value. ' Among these articles are .a inisbrMtf * pieces of the Martha Washington china. I The centre of each plate~fias the oeito- 1 gram "M W.," from which four golden ^ rays diverge, each jKiiiU. reaching to a J I Ine oral, in which, in distinct rings, 1 connected by golden links, are .written ' the nasnca of tbc original States and ' Kentucky, while • around the rim the ' ®gjpftati symbol of eternal union — a 1 *rrwb serpent with the tail in its aietf-h— s* and n green ribbon bearing the legend, ' " Dc cut it hit amen abi/lor" exquisitely 1 jpointcd, completes the decoration, which 1 for richness and appropriateness has : 1 never been excelled at Sevres. I This set or pon elain was presented by 1 Gen. Lafayette and bis brother officers, 1 including Rochnrflbeau and Count De j I <rros*e, as a fitting testimonial to the lady- whose house had been their borne • ■while fighting the battles of the Bevolu- < lion, and also with the sanction and ' I subscrltpion of the Mayor of-the raunici- > pality of Park. The set originally con- 1 talned four hundred pieces. A plate, 1 a saucer or a cup were occasionally pro- - -sented by Mr*. Waahington or Mr. "Curtis as the choicest souvenir they •could give of the. household relics of „ Mount Vernon. Specimens are in the ( possession of the widow of Maj.-Gen. ' c Brown, the family of the late Alderman r Peters, -Major Poliam, Caleb Lyon* c , and others ; cud it- was from a familiar- , <ity with thn one given the latter gentle- f 1 man some -years since by Mr. Curtia that ; , he was able to promptly identify tbe re- , , tnainder of the set remaining at Arling | ton. * 1 i -

Two » f tin- rich porcelain vases pre- > sented to Washington by Mr. Vaugh, j and sketched by Loosing.in bis "Mount j Vernon and iu Association"— those ornamented with Hons and tigers— Were ! ul^br^ilght toligbW by Mr. Lyon. Tlie Jon e dpvmrnted with leopard* lias not been^iscoteredVand is probably lost. I The CTOu'nd ijork of these vases is of the fin^t-ajsQaTW)^ blue, but they are It will be remembered that the officers of the Revolutionary army belonging to thi Society of the Cincinnati sent to -China an order for a thousand pieces, including • breaki fast, dinner and tea sets, of "the finest India ware, for presentation to Washington. Tbe ornamentation is blue and gilt, with the coat of arms of the society, held by Fame, with a blue rib-, boo from which' it suspended the eagle of the order, with a green wreath about its nec^', and on Its breast a shield representing' tbe inauguration or tbe order. Altogether fifty pieces of this set yet remain nt Arlington, more or less perfect. The tea-table use I by- Washington ond one book ease yet remain. Genera! McDowell bos rendered Mr Lyon every facility for brushing up these interesting relics, a d expcc s on* order from the War Department to place tliem in tbc Patent office or Smilhsouian insti tilth. , A CHEERFUL FACE. There is no greater every day virtue than cheerfulness. This quality in man bmong men is like sunshine to the day, or gentle, renewing nfoixturc to parcliid herbs, The sourest temper must sweeten in tbe atmosphere of continuous good humor. As vrell might fog, and cloud, and vapor, hope to cling to the fun illuminated landncipe, as ihts blues and tnorosenrss to combat jovial speech and exhilarating laughter' Be cheerful always. "There J* no path but will b« easier travelled, no load but 'will lift cqoner in pre*eucc of a .dwtcni'iued cheerfulness. U may nt lii^ex.secm dif- , ficult for the happiest tempered to keep the 'countenance of peace and content ; bat the difSculty will vanish when we truly consider that sullen gloom and passionate despair do nolhiug but multiply thorns and thirkeu sorrows. It will • coiue to us as providentially at good — and is a good, if we rightfully apply its lesson* ; why not, then, cheerfully accept the ill, and apparently blunt Its apparent sting J Cheerfulness ought t« be the fruit of .philosophy and of" Chris- • tianity W hat |s gained by peevishness and fretfulness — by perverse sadness and* suile'nness ? If wc are ill, let us be cheered by the trust that we 'shall soon bo in hesli.h; if; misfortune befalls us, . let ns be cheered by hopefyj visions of fortune ; if death robs us of our ,denr ones, let us be cheered, by the thought that they are only gone before to the blissful bowers where we shall all meet", to separate no mere forever. Col- ; tivate cheerfulness if only for persona! , profit. You will do and hew every. duand burden better by being chterful. It will be your consoler :n solitude, your passport and commyndator in society. You will be more sought after, more ' trusted and esteemed for your steady cheerfulness. The bad, tbe vicious, may boisteronsly gay, and vulgarly homorous, but. seldom or never truly cheerful. ? | Genuine cheerfulness is an almost cer- • , tain iudex of a happy and a pure heart.

THE ATLAjrTTC TELEGRAPH AO Ad. , A circular, signed by Geor^ Seward. , I as secretary of the Atlantic Telegraph , Company in London proposing renewed , , efforts for establishing submarine cor- j respondent between Europe and Arntrhas been issued. -It is alleged in , this circular that, notwithstanding the ( [ of tevjral submarine lines, the , success of other important wtter wiles j enccuragc renewed efforts on tbe route , between Ireland and Newfoundland. 1 successful routes- mentioned are i

• j that to the Boleurtc Islands, the one be- , , | tween France and Ajgiert, and that be- j 1 tween Malta and Aiesaodria. The - last is said to be the best laid — capable i j of "working through without repeaters, : at Die rate of eight words per minute — t being 1,400 miles in length." The secretary urges the construction f of an Atlantic telegraph as a means of '■ promoting. harmony between the nations at this crisis, and "trusts ihnt patriotism - on both sides of tbe water willbprn the - eyes of those intonated in the well be- - ingof society," to the important enterr prise for that pacific purposeT HEATH Eirr OF CROUP. Hail's Journal of Health says : Croup is an inflamation of the innersurface of the windpipe. Infiamation implies heat; and heat must be subdued or the patient will inevitably die. If ' prompt efforts are mode to -cool the ports in case of au ttlock of croup, relief will be as prompt as it'it surprising and delightful. All know that cold applied to n hot skin cools it, but all do not as well know and understand llint h it Water applied to nn inthmed rkin ■ will ns certainly cool it off. Hence the .application of cold ice water with 'v linctt-cloths, or of almost boiling water wjtli woolen flannel, is very efficient in tiic cure of croup. Ttlte two or time pieces of woolen flannel of two folds, j lurge enough to cover the whole throat and upper part of the chest ; put these / t in a pan of water as hot a* the han >i can bear, and keep it thus hot, by od- , ding v. ntai from n boiling teakettle alS; I hand- -let two or three of the flannels ' be in .lie hot water all the time, with a i dry flannel covering the wet-one, so as to keep the steam iu tosoine extent j the , lliiincls should .rot he so wet when put on us to dribble the wuter, for it i* iro- , pcrtnnt to keep the clothing t>s dry as ^possible. Keep up this process until the doctor comes, or nntil the phlegm is loo vi*. As soon a* the child is. raster ■ and begins lo fall asleep, gently wrap a , dry flannel over llie wet one which i* on, r. n ns to cover it tip eutircly, ami the | 1 child is saved. DEPTH OF DIFFEREHT SEAL In the neighborhood of the continents the seas are often shallow; thiis, Die Baltic Ben lias a depth of only 120 feet btrlwi en the coastitof Gcrmnny and tliosc of Sweden. -The Adriatic, between Venice and Trieste, hn* a depth of only 130 feet Between France and England, the greatest depth does sot exceed 300 feet, while south-west of Ireland U . sinks !o 2,000 feet. The western basin -of. the Mediterranean seems to be ' very deep. In the narrowest parts of the Straits of Gibraltar, it is nut more than 1 .000 feet below the surface A ] little further toward Die cost, the depth falls to 3,000 feet, and at the south of ' . Die coast' of 8pain to nearly 0,000 faet. On the northwest of Sardinia, bottom has not been found at the depth of-near-ly 5,000 feet. With respect to the open ! seas; their depth* are little known. — | About 250 uiiles south of Nantucket the lead -has been eui*k to 7,800 feet. In north latitude, at 78 degrees. Captain lloss had exceeded 0,000 feet in Baffin's 1 Bay But tho most astonishing depths , are found in the Southern Atlantic. — West of the Cape of Good Hope 10,000 'feel have been found, and the plummet ■ hoi not found bottom at 27,00b feet weat * of St. llelanu. THE HATAt WARS WITH EHOLAJID. At the commencement of tne struggle | of the United Colonies with Great Brit- . ' ain the former had no. ship*, but 42 | were filled out during the war, and ac- i cording to the best authorities, the American privateers roamed the seas in I every direction, and captured during the | BW British vessels,- vtrilh men-ban- ! disc valued at more than 1 1,000,000. Of .a fleet of 60 merchantmen which left Ireland for the West ^ndies, 35- were captured by tbe A mericau cruisers. At tbe-beginning of the w*r 200 ships w«v employed iu tbe trade betwee ■ Ireland (

- 1 ond the West - war there were oulj 40 engaged in it. : | In 1813 the United States^vy const*s ted qf only 20* vessels besides gunboats. , In these, Hull, Decatur, Bainhrige, - liodgen, Porter and other gallant seaj nien boldly went to sen. Their exploits i i have been the theme of proi^e ever since It U estimated that during the Srst sevi eri months after the declaration of war American cruiser*' captured more than ! ; 5(1 British armed vessels and 250 toer- • chantnien. with an aggsegule of more- > than 3,000 prisoners, and a vast amount of booty. REHOVIHO GREASE SPOTS. A simple agent for removing grease spots from silk ami woolen faoricsa* very useful. Carbonate of magnesia, saturated with benzole, mid spread upon a grease spot to aluut one-third of an inch in thickness answers well for this purpose. A sheet of porou* paper should be spread upon the betizoiiMted magnesia, and a flat iron, moderately war.u, put upon the top of all. The heat of the iron passe* through and softens the grease, which is then absorbed 1 by th r porous magnesia. The flat -'roil tnay be removed in Die space of one hour, and the magnesia just brushed off. Saapstone djLa-miiy l>e used in the same mannetysritd answer nearly ns good a I purturfe.
