VALLEY FORGE. How tlie American Army Endured rlie Win- Q ter of 1777-X?A (.'mup of llut* nt Vnlley 0j Forwe?SulIerlnK from I.ucU of Food nnd Clothing. I51 W Hardly any name is more familiar to ftfi the student, young pr old, of American w history than that of Valley Forge. One or still reads with pain of the sufferings U( undergone there by the sturdy Coutiu- re ental soldiers, aud with pride of the jj, Spartan firmness with which those aB dreary vicissitudes were encountered. *ai. Of all the anniversaries which lmvo so W( numerously distinguished these centen- ni( nial years, uone is more worthy of at ^ least a quiet commemoration than that f?, of the establishment of Washington's forlorn winter quarters in 1777. None au of the early years of the young Republic, struggling for life against the greatest ei. odds, were darker than this. The slight- ca est glance at the situation will show that it was indeed deplorable. en The battle of Brandywine had been ou fought gallantly, and it* had been lost. m! Congress had fled from Philadelphia to fl!] Lancaster. A series of reverses had ^ opened a way to that city for Sir William Howe, and Washington was too weak to jn risk a battle which might have saved it, an nor, with more than a thousand of his m( men barefoot, could he undertake those fr( rapid and masterly operations which had ^ been so brilliantly executed at Trenton and at Princeton. Meauwhile all efforts j ( of an,impotent Congress and of rash n0 generals to clamor arid importune him into military imprudence were vain. tw Washington, that he might restrict the enemy within the narrowest possible i limits, established his winter quarters, on j eT the 19th of December, at Valley Forge, | va about twenty miles from Philadelphia, j jeg on the south side of the Schuylkill. Here ca] he would be able to keep a vigilant eye eV( on the city and also protect a large extent of country. He had 11,000 troops, cjXj but they were in a very wretched con- gj. dition. Provisions were scant, clothing ctK worn ont. and sneh was the want of ? shoes, that all the late marches had been or tracked in blood. There was a like want of blankets, so that many of the soldiers B0, were forced to sit up all night by the j 8ei camp fires. Washington offered a pre- \ ve^ minm for the best pattern of shoes made | ma of hides untanned. One-quarter of the | ea( troops were unfit for duty. The com- j anj missariat was miserably managed, for at i as this very time (says Gordon) "hogs-jaU( heads of shoes, stockings and clothing ! a]0 were lying at different places on the n0] roads and in the woods, perishing for c]1( want of teams or of money to pay the <j0 teamsters." Washington had determined to hut the troops, and he took rcn particular pains to make the dwellings J as comfortable as possible. Among other j pOI expedients, he offered a reward of $12 to I brj the party in each which finished its hut j pa] in the most workmanlike and quickest I pr( manner. .The little town, with its regu- j lar streets and avenues, was soon built. , ^ Each hut was fourteen feet by sixteen, | with walls of logs filled in with clay, and ?a a chimney of clay or wood rising a foot ! or two above the roof, which was a Bingle j on( sharp slope, constructed to shed easily jf the coming snow. To each hut was assigned twelve non - commissioned 0f officers and men. Each general officer up had a hut to himself, with two windows. ot- ( The huts of the soldiery fronted on the pcc streets. Troops from the same State j were lodged in the same street or quar- i ter. In shape, the whole was like a tri- j <?ngle, with Yalley creek forming its j r. base, and the Schuylkill for its left side, j cri It had abbatis, redoubts, and pickets at ; in different points. Washington's quarters Le were in the house of a Quaker, Isaac far Potts, which is still standing. hoi < But with all the sufferings of Yalley ret Forge, there was some social comfort me there. Lafayette wrote home that the i cai general officers were tending for their [ Le wives: "and I envy them," he said, , suf naivelv?"not their wives, but the hap- i th( piness of being where they can see j np them." Mrs. Washington was with her j dw husband to cheer and encourage him. 1 ne< There was no dancing, for the quarters I tin were too narrow ; cards were prohibited : Th because they led to gambling; but there ; rei were tea parties and coffee parties, con- j tui versation and music. There were gallant | slu gentlemen, too?Morris and Reed, and i po Charles Carroll, when the Congress dele- j Le gation came down?and Hamilton and i a c Laurens. _ j in? The ensuing May found Washington j hif still in his cantonments, with an effective ' no force of about twelve thousand men. It ! m? was impossible by any reinforcements to sli carry this number beyond twenty thou- he sand. But rumors came of the evacuation he of Philadelphia, since the Delaware kn would be in danger of being blocked up th: by a French fleet. Washington busied to] himself in the formation of a new system ha for the army, and had asked Congress to cri send a committee of arrangements, five j co: in number, to the camp. They remained ' Ja with him three months, and the recom- j Lc mendations resolved upon were generally J aft - adopted. On the 18th of June, the pre- j co: F parations for the evacuation of Philadelphia having been completed, the British j army took up its line of march through j , the Jerseys. At soon as he had informa- , tion of this, Washington broke camp ! . with his whole army, marching in pur- j . suit. And so ended the memorable sea- i n son at Valley Forge. There was still to i be a short period of defeat and disap- I jr Dointment. but brighter davs we^e cIorp i at hand.?New York Tribune. j ^ 1 on High Gambling in London Clubs, mi According to a London corresdondent, M gambling is a vice which thrives and re grows in spite of police regulations, I gi: legal prosecutions, and daily illustrations ! se< of its perils and miseries. A year or j se two ago hardly a week passed over with- I wi out its club card scandal. An officer an high in her Majesty's army had to fly his i th country in disgrace for cheating at cards, gr A well-known gentleman about town was stj ignominously kicked out of a West End se; club with two aces up his sleeve. Two di' or three young men of family were ruin- di' ed at a club where play was understood ha not to "run high," and a disgraceful wi case of card sharping came before the ha courts. For a time it seemed as though Mi these exposures had a deterrent influence M on high stakes and unfair players, but las the old vice is still rampant, and the let latest development of club gambling is I pi: the formation of a " baccarat" proprie- i ? tary club, which is beginning to excite ; public attention, and is likely, I hear, to '. come under the attention of the police. ; I have it on reliable information that ! recently a young "Scotch laird," a col- | be onel in the army,^hose name I with- j tei hold for the presenTOt all events, lost at I el? this "baccarat" club at one sitting mi HAA TTi? nnnnr?ATif lin/1 nlorfiil xrrifli Kp VOTV!VUV' 1?U -?? him from nine o'clock on Saturday night ve until four o'clock on Sunday morning, | be when the losses of the young c?louel i to stood at this enormous sum. "I will re go you double or quits," he said witb , in the nerve of a Scotchman, though lacking , he the proverbial prudence of his race. , th " No," responded the winner, " I don't j th think I will; let me ask you one question I se first, at all events." "Proceed," said on the loser. " Supposing if you go double uu or quits, can you pay $700,000 if you ; n lose?" "Frankly, 1 can not." "Then dr we will not go double or quits, but we ; in will continue to play until ten o'clock if 1 st> you like, and then I leave oft'." The sh game went on, and at ten o'clock the in young Scotch laird had reduced his los- ; m ings to 830,000, which he paid. bl m es so Information Wanted in Colorado. th The Denver (Col.)

The river is covered itli boats of many sizes and shapes, and , wo look at thorn we can readily believe hat is told us, that 60,000 people live i these boats. The statement is literal, >t figurative. They are born, they are ared, they Hive, they grow to old age, ey die in these boats. So lived their cestorp, find so mil live tnen descendits. Here is a boat rowed by two uneu. A child sits in a little coupartent provided for him, or creeps al^ut e deck. A cord is around his waist an >tened to the boat or a billet of wood, d as he knows that he cannot receive y attention, he does not demand it. le hotel runners that board the steamon our arrival are women, and they rry our baggage without the slightest timation that we are wauling in deforce to their sex. Of the small boats the river, I think at least half are mned by women, (you see the joke ?) d sometimes there are whole crews of em. From the boat population of tnton come the men who serve as sailors junks and other craft along the coast, d a large majority of the Chinese seajn on foreign ships are, doubtless, >m the same source. It is said that ese people are not allowed to live on ore either at Canton or elsewhere, but ;annot say if the statement be true or t. I have inquired of several persons io ought to know about it, but as no o tell the same story, the reader may lieve whatever he likes. The strange sights that greet oue's es on shore are so numerous and ried that a mere list would be hopeis. The streets are so narrow that triages are out of the question, and 2n the sedan chairs in which we ride rl ncnnsioiml diffienltv in nassinc other airs bound in the opposite direction, irdens great and small are carried by jlics, and eome of these burdens are vel indeed. A coolie carries his load, rather his two loads, balanced on a mboo pole across his shoulder, and netimes a baby in one basket pre ves the equilibrium of a quantity of jetables in another. Here comes a ;n transporting a couple of live pigs, ;h in a case so very Bmall that the imal cannot move, and possibly cannot, he certainly does not, squeal. Boxes i bags and baskets are thus borne ng, and though the crowd is dense, body is run down; and though our ur-bearers walk at a good pace, they not overturn a single pedestrian, e principal streets are little else than vs of shops, whose entire fronts are own open to speak a welcome to the 3sible visitor. The shops are gayer, ghter and cleaner than in any other rt of China, and if we enter we are itty certain to be received with the nost politeness. Silk-weavers are sy at their looms, and ivory carvers at ?ir benches; in fact, all the tradeB of nton seemed to be maintained without 'stery, and we may steal the art of any 3 of them, and carry it home with us, so disposed. Everybody appears ppy and contented, with the exception an occasional beggar, who is gotten in a style of wretchedness regardless expense. Canton is a veritable kaleidoipe of sights. A Tennessee Fight. The Morristown (Tenn.) Gazette desbes as follows an affray which occurred Grainger county recently: Mr. Gabe e, of Hamblen county, who, with his oily, had been visiting at his father's me, had horses out, saddled, ready to urn to his home, when two young u named James and William Leger ne there. One of the Legers mounted e's mule, and after some hours' periston was induced to dismount, when ij (the Legers) commenced firing on Lee. The Lees retreated into the elling, Gabe Lee wounded in the ?. Getting an old rifle he fired upon ;m, wounding one of the Legers. en the Legers, after emptying their rolvers, retreated to reload and re ned to the attack, when one of them ?t Gabe Lee in the side, the ball supsed to be lodged in his back. Gabe e then, with the rifle, shot Bill Leger :enter shot in the breast, killing him itantly. The wounded Leger made i escape, and up to this writing has t been captured. During the engage;nt Mrs. Lee, the mother of Gabe, was ghtly -wounded on the side of the ad with a pistol ball, aud Pierce Lee, r husband, was cut in the leg with a ife. Gabe Lee had seven shots rough his hat, two balls grazing the p of his head, and a slight cut on the nd. His condition is considered quite tical, although the doctor does not usider his wounds necessarily fatal, mes Leger, who was wounded by Gabe ;e, it has since been ascertained, was ;erward killed by Henry Jackson, a ustable. A Man With His Sixth Wife. There now lives in Dakota county, in is State, says the Stillwater (Minn.) imberman, a man who has just mar;d his sixth wife in St Paul, Minn. He is born in New Brunswick, married ere, and moved to Minnesota with his st wife and two children?both girls in the year 1857, thereabouts. At innesota'his wife died, and afterward e child. Here, a short time after, he irried a widow with one child, a boy. oving thence to Stearnes county, he mains until five children are born, all rls. One died, and afterward his cond wife. After a lapse of six or ven months he marries again, a widow th a boy. This woman is a Hoosier, d proves too much for him. In less an two years he gives her 81,000 to ant him a divorce. He obtains it, irts for Maine, meets with a woman, parnted from her husband but not vorced, and marnes her as soon as the vorce is obtained. In a year and a .If she dies, leaving no children. Nose discouraged, after three and one,lf years, he marries again?another aine widow. Then he returns to innesota, where on the 11th of August ?t, his fifth wife passed from the earth, iving him another girl. And now her nee is already filled by the sixth whether maid or widow, we know not. Plenty of Bullets, But No Blood. The San Francisco brokers seem to poor marksmen. Don Carlos Butrfield and John Sevenoaks met in an jvator car, after quarreling over a iniug speculation. " Don," said ivenoaks, very placidly, "you're the ry man I want to kill, but if you ain't ;eled I won't shoot you. I don't want shoot an unarmed man." Don Carlos marked that he didn't care about beg killed just then, and threw up his md. The trigger was pulled, but as e hammer fell on the other man's utnb there was no blood shed. IThev parated in the lower corridor, Seven.ks requesting his ri,val to arm him self id threatening to shoot him at the !Xt meeting, or, iu other words, to aw on him at sight. The next morng they met on the stairway of the ock exchange and each fired several :ots, chipping the stone and puncturg the walls, but not hitting the other an. There was a good deal of the ank-blank business, which is so interting in the far Western life, albeit monotonous in literature, and finally ey were taken out during one of the xly pauses in their profanity and esented to the police.?

Bh j A resident of Charles street, Brooklyn, m . N. Y., while recently breaking up a co I barrel for kindling, gave it a violent m | blow with the axe that drove one of the re I staves out, striking squarely between th I the eyes a cat that was standing a couple th ! of feet away. The blow was so forcible Ni | and so precisely delivered that both of an j the poor animal's eyes were started out av ; of its head and left hanging 011 its tri j cheeks. It could not be caught and in I killed, as the owner was desirous of! es I doing, but three days later a neighbor j w< : captured it, and, having an idea that j ai] ' perhaps the animal's sight could be j lir i saved, with rude surgery put the eyfs j th 1 back into their sockets. Singular as it j hfi ! may seem, though one eye is hopelessly h< ! gone, the other is feebly sensitive to an I fo ! object placed before~it. suddenly, and j a\ j there are hopes that the cat will recover, j hi The other Brooklyn cat's habitat is ! fe j the comer of Hicks and Cranberry j ; streets, which also is the habitat of a tribe of very noisy boys. One of their | latest manifestations was the organiza- j {J tion of an amateur fire company, having j CI for an engine a tin pail full of coals in a j di ! baby carnage, inis was nurneu towaru T; ! an imaginary fire with such a demoniac p] j clangor and veiling that the cat?kitten, h< j rather?thinking the end of the world S< ! had come, inflated her tail and scampered gn i with much agility to a lofty limb of a fr J tree, where she remained for three days in j and three nights without venturing to m i move, completely paralyzed with terror, se ! At last her humane boy-owner, at the is j risk of his neck, clambered up and shook sr j her from the limb, whereupon she de- '"! I scendod as precipitately as she had y< t mounted, struck a 2:14 gait for Fulton tt I street and Albany avenue, and has not w j since been seen or heard of. p( af A Hole In the Sky. ^ j It is an established principle of the a | signal service bureau that a storm is in J nothing more nor less than a hole in the : atmosphere. The Cincinnati Star says: la "From a recent statement of Sergeant n( j Bassler, who waB lately transferred from h< t this city to tliB Chicago signal station, it tr appears that a storm center is created by m a heated column of air, which, rising, b( produces a vacuum. This originates the wind storm, and it should be a matter of some nride to our citizens that the only I complaint against Cincinnati by officers gt I of the signal service is that we cannot jo i got up a respectable wind storm." th I The dissemination of this 'hole in at the air " theory, while it will scientifical- so I ly explain what most people have here- he ' tofore regarded as a very simple occur- go rence, will also no doubt work a radical tii change in the weather language of our Bi country. Instead of the very common or expression: "I think there's a storm th brewing," we may expect to be saluted co in some such manner as: " Appearances M j indicate that a hole in the atmosphere is of j being prepared." The customary warn- pc ingwillbe, "Look out for the hole in in the air," or "Take care ! there is a hole w] Coming up!" cb It appears that these atmospheric vacuums or storm centres travel in a ju circle, beginning at a point in the far ja northeast, moving westwardly to the Sp lioekv mountains, skirtincr these in a oli i southerly direction, and then moving it. : eastwardly again and taking in Chicago. pC Cincinnati, however,is so located that she uc does not quite lie within that charmed ca | circle of wind.?Baltimore.

The shikari saw the di i beast asleep under the shade of a large of j tree on the side of a tank, and found no af prospect of getting a shot from the land ca side. Bo he had recourse to the follow- li< ing expedient: He waded from the opj posite bank, gnn in hand above the water, which was breast high, -rith a long cord fastened, to his waist,the other st end of which remained in the hands of a hi confederate on the bank confronting the i tiger.

But there is certainly a signifl- ? cance in those busy members of the body * H which "he who runs may read." The s " creator of Uriah Heep has taught us not p j to trust the owners of limp, moist hands 5 - which close cordially on nothing save f J their own possessions. Says a commen tator on this subject: "It is the touch ? 2 of a hand at a greeting which warms or u chills my heart, and makes me know to a * q certainly how much or how little I shall ? t like the person before me. If the fingers t e olose about my own with a short, quick, v it convulsive grasp, I know that he will t ? snap, snarl, and finally quarrel, and that e 0 the least that I have to do with lue ? a owner of those wily digits, the better off e i- I shall be.

The Danube from its source in Baden to the >d Black sea, is 1,820 miles long, and it \8, drains with its tributaries, an area of over 300,000 square miles. It passes through Bavaria, Austria, Hungary, and , Servia, where it separates Roumania , from Bulgaria, and passes into the Black Sea through several mouths, the j principal one being that of Sulina. The is Danube is navigable for steamers as far ir as Ulm, in Bavaria.

To avoid imposition, purchasers of Walthsm Watches will observe that every genuine Watch, whether gold or silver, bears our own trade mark j both case and movements. Gold cases are stamped "A. W.

The name * Waltham" is plainly engraved upon all movements, irrespective of other distinguishing marks. Thi? caution is rendered neces>ary by reason of the fact that our cases are frequently separated from onr movements and put upon worthless movements of other makor<, and rlet trr?a, thus sffacting injuriously the performance of tbe Watches, and vitiating onr guaranty which is intended only to cover onr complete Watches wholly made by ns.
