AT last the mistress of all this luxury made

after the Louis XIV style, that is, high on the
shoulders, but coming down square and very low

breast, prevented exertion.
Her meeting with Washington, after
the victory which decided the fortune of
America, illustrates her character too
strlklngly to be omitted. After an alb
scence OF nearly seven years, she was, at
length, on the return of the combined ar.
mics from Yorktown, permitted again to
see and embrace her iliustrious son.
"Ihe lady was alone-her aged hands
employed in the works of domestic indus
try, when the good news was announced;
and It was further told that the victor
chief was in waiting at the Threshold
She welcomed him with warm embrace
and by the well-endearing name of his
childhood. Inquired as to his health, she
remarked the lines which mighty cares,
and many trials, had furrowed, spoke
much of old times and old friends but of
his glory not a word !"
The Marquis de La Fayette, repaired
to Fredericksburg, previous to his de part
ure for Europe, in the fall of 1854 to pay
his parting respects TO the mother, and 10
ask her blessing. Conducted by one Of
her grandsons, he approached the house,
when the young gentleman observed:-
"Ihere sir, is my grandmother" La
fayette beheld-working in the garden,
clad in the domestic made clothes, and her
gray head covered with a straw hat-the
mother of ''his hero, his friend, and coun-
try's preserver!" "Ah, Marquis you
see an old women but come can make
you welcome to my poor dwelling, with.
out the parade of changing my dress"
TO the encomiums lavished by the Mar
quis on his chief, the mother replied: 81
am not surprised at what George has done
for he has always been very good boy.'
The person of Mrs Washington i, de.

rejoicing in the consciousness of a life well
spent, and the hope of blissful immortal.

CL1MATE.-Acosto is the first philoso-
pher who endeavored to account for the
different degrees of heat in the old and
new continents by the agency ofthe winds
which blow in each. This theory Button
adopted. The probable cause of the SUI
perior degree of cold towards the south
ern extremity of America seems to be the
form Of the continent. Biologists infer
that during the deposition ofthe older fos-
silierous rocks the climate was ultra-trop-
ical, i. e., warmer than at present exists
on the globe. Agassiz, Lyell, and Smith
have proved that the climate of northern
regions, Immediately preceding the alu-
vial period, was lower than it is at pres
ent: and it is She opinion of the first that
similar fall Of temperature took place
near the close Of each great geological Pc
riod.
