She considers that the marriage license confirms her in her position as wife as long as she lives, no matter whether she makes good in it or not.

CRAIG. PS GREAT M ! June 10, 1861.—Three battalions of | the District of Columbia Volunteers | passed through Georgetown at an early | hour this morning, accompanied by Gov- | ernment wagons with camp_equipage, ammunition, buggage, etc. They pre- | sented a very martial appearance. Each | | wagon train was protected by a military | guard. They marched out on the Rockville | {10ad, and their supposed destination is ! Edwards Ferry on the Potomac River. | | This point is about 30 miles above | | Georgetown and _equidistant between | Harpers Ferry and Washington. It is | the only crossing for wagons between | | Point of Rocks and the District of Co- | ! lumbia. A road leads from the Virginia | side of the ferry to Leesburg, which is | about 4 or 5 miles from the river. | Another battalion of District Volun- | | teers formed in the first ward this morn- | ing and marched away about 10 o'clock. | One of the companies of this battalion | | consists of sappers and miners, pro- | | vided with spades, axes and other im- ! plements of that branch of the service. | A wagon train with military stores, camp equipage and baggage also accompanied this force. It likewise took the road to |.Georgetown and marched thence out | on_the Rockville pike. | ‘The whole command of District Vol- | unteers in these four battalions is made | up as follows: Maj. Jewell's 2d Bat- | talion, about 250 men; Maj. Everetts | 5th Battalion, 250 men; Capt. Smead’s | 3d Battalion (with the exception of the National Rifles. left on guard duty | here), 250 men; Capt.

The question of just how to arrange the patchwork pattern, “Dove-at-the- Window,” is desired by those who wish to use it for the making of quilts, rather than for sofa cushions. chair seats, ete., which were specially stressed when the design was given. | In order to help workers visualize arrangements, the pattern is again illus- trated. The portion representing the “Dove-at-the-Window” is found in the central square. The particular pane of the window at which the doves are tapping is the innermost square, with each dove represented by two diamonds. The spread wiogs present tips of a star. Below these larger starpoints and surrounding the central pane a smaller star is easily discernible. The squa while easy fo make, presents a surpris- ing intricacy once it is completed, and this is part of its fascifation. It makes | it essential, however. to put sich squares | together so that the result in a quilt s | artistic | In order to set off these “Dove-at- | the-Window" portions to best advantage | each of these squares must be separated, | This element 15 absent in using the square for smalil articles such as cush- | _The surrounding strips or in_them merely act as a framework. not as connecting portions. | Each square )¢ large enough o be com- plete in itsel{ for the purpose to which it is put. { One of the simplest methods of Wsing these souares is exactly as pictured.
