yoluminous papers in prose, he had not

or conversation. Addison, in one OF
his pleasant papers giving an account of

lovers who existed before the flood, al
lows the lady hut twelve-month TO an

Mr.. AdSmss delay would have been
deemed a little extraordinary even in
the aye when men lived a thousand
years. On reading little further we
found the mystery cleared up. MIR. Ad-
ans published more than six months n

ters on the Entered Apprentices Oath.
These letters he complains shave not
been noticed by any ofthe newspapers
under masonic influence" and though
extensively circulated in pamphlets.
have never been answered. This was
certainly very uncourteous towards Mr..
Adams and the present letter appears to
be intended both as an answer to the
silence of his adyersaries and as an at
tempt to induce Mr.. Livingston himself
to notice the publication in question: =
He therefore, as he tells Mr.. Livingston
forwards him copy of the pamphlet,
and calls on him as Grand High Priest
of the masonic order in the u. States,
to undertake the defence of the institu-
tion against the charges he has brought
against it. II IS clear, therefore, that
tif M. Adams's lucubrations on mason
ry do not make noise in the world, il
will not be his fault. All that he can
blame himself for is, that he did not
publish them earlier. He mistimed
them, as he does almost every thing
else. He waited till the excitement
was over ill The public was tire d of
the discussion, and published what he
had to say when nobody would read it.
We doubt whether his present attempt
to recall his letters from the oblivion
where they lie quietly merged, will
have any effect.

TRAGIC DEED.

The National, Paris paper Of Feb.
9th, contains the following extract from
a letter dated from Angoulemc -
Our city has been the theatre of a
most horrid event. A man convicted of
having murdered the husband Of a wo-
man whom he loved, was condemned to
hard labor for l5 years. The deposit
ions. or testimony, Of the widow D.
consisted of charges the most overwhel-
ming against him, so that when the
Presitlsnt of the court of a5sizes~ came
forward from his seat to pronounce
Judgment, the murderer rose with encr-
gy. called Heaven 10 witness with a
frightful oath which he pronounced,
and turning towards the widow of his
victim. cried ont 81 am innocent, and
you have been the cause of my condem.
nation but ! swear before the God who
hears me, that you shall never die but
by my band" The audience shuddered
at the inspired and resolute vols of the
condemned, and1he widow, frightened
by the terrible threat, tainted away
After this trial, some time had elapsed,
when the unbnppy widow, almost redu-
ced to poverty by the death of her hus-
band, and sold what lit.lo property she
possessed nnd had established herself a.
lone in trade at Angouleme, by which
she quietly obtained a livelihood. She
had, without doubt, forgotten the i'm.
precautions of the murderer, or If they
sometimes offered themselves to heI
thoughts, she repressed them with fear
aud trusted herself to providence, and
the protection Of the police. who had,
since the trial, kept an eye upon her,
But some days ago report was spread
in Angouleme that eight convicts had
escaped from Rockefort, and they were
pursued. The gems d'armes were call
cd out, orders were despatched in all
directions. II was eight o'clock in the
evening-all was darkness and silence
in Angonlemc, and especially in the lit
,le street inhabited by the widow D.
Suddenly the dor of her shop was O.
pened and shut. a man advanced tc
the counter behind which she was sitting
1pousiye and alone, and placed bimseI
lmmoveable before her. "What do yot
want, sir" demanded she cody. Don
you recognize me" said he, ia low ane
frighlful voice. The truth burst upon

She wished to scream, but .error en-.

The assassin was arrested the mex,

SINGULAR ADVENTURE.

A little boy, aged 3 years, son of Col.
Hogan, keeper of the Jail was missing
on Saturday, for about seven hours,
md search was made for him IN every
direction, but in vain. A little child a.
bout his own age, who could not speak
plain. was constantly saying to its moth
er, "Boy in hole" "Boy in hoIsp and
pointed to hole in the arch over Eagle
street, at its junction with Beaver Street.
His importunIsies at length attracted
attention, and it being known that Mr..
HIS child was missing,a n man 3c4~ArSSssd
by rode fastened under his srms. to
the bottom Of the creek, distance Of
twenty feet with lantern. He there
found boys cap but he searched no
farther, and was drawn up. The cap
was identified as that of Mr.. HIS boy
Sheriff Gullup went to the place and
offered reward to any person who
would descend and search for the child.
None could be found, when the sheriff
himself pulled off his coat and was ma
king preparations to 60 down when a
colored man was induced to descend,
with lantern. After proceeding abou.
800 feet in the creek as it goes down
Beaver street, and which is covered by
an arch about four feet high, he found
the little fellow sitting in the mud and
filth, and resting against the wall of the
arch almost exhausted. He brought
him to the hole, and he was hoisted out
and presented to his, till then afflicted,
but now overjoyed parents.
1t appears that after falling in the
hole, he had wandered thus far, and h ad
become so fatigued that he could not
make his way back 10 The hole, or prob
ably became oe~iIds.ed and deprived
Of the power of xecisiog bis blinking

The Ex-President, MIR. Adams, has

a letter addressed "to Edward Livings-
ton, General Grand High Priest Of the
Royal Arch Chapter of the United
States and Secretary of the said United
States" 1t seems that three years ago
viz : in April 1890, there appeared in
the National Intell,gencer, q public ad-
dress Of Mr.. Livingston Oh assuming
sonpe high masonic office, in which that
gentleman, after remarkiug that. the
murder Of Morgan had given rise to a
natural and very just excitement in the
community, complained thstthis excite
ment had been seized on by ambitious
and designing politicians to further
their own schemes of personal ambition
and that it had been made the occasion
of much calumny aud persecution n
gainst members of the masonic institu-
tior. Mr.. Adams, in his letter QUOTES

pressed and tells Mr.. Livingston tha,
though all this may be- true, there is a
more important question TO settle, viz
whether tho institution Of masonry be
not essentially misch'evous in is tenden.
