Interesting Pilgrimage to the Tomb OF
Mount Vernon.

The visit of Mr.. Gusts, of Arlington, the aged
adopted son OF Washington, and nj. Edmond La
iayette, the youthful grandson Of General La
iayctte, to the tomb Of Mount Vernon on We'd
nesday, the 9th instant, a pilgrmag e 10 that
veneratcd spot of peculiar interest and character
While Offering the homage Of their hearts to the
scpulchre that contains the ashes of the Pater Pa
tiS, the veteran rect of the past called up 10 his
young companion the 'timc- honored' memories
OF The days OF Washington, narrating recolcctions
of the glorious OF his public services together
with endearing memories of the virtues OF his prf-
vatc life and domestic retirement. amid the tran
gull shades Of his beloved Mornt Vernon.
Mr.. C. then spoke TO the pilgrim from La Grange
OF his l!ustrious grand parent, and how his fame
and memory were cherished in the hearts of the
American people; and that his early and cbivalric
devotion to the cause of their independence, and
good and gallant services in the of the Reyo-
luton, had earned for him the title of Americas
bcnefactor. .r. I...t .t...f4
Mr.. C. pointed out the spot Of his first interview
with the Marquis De lafayette, in 1854; for al
though but a child at that remote period, Mr.. G.
well remembered the arrival Of the Marquis at
Mount Vernon, accompanied by Count Deux
Points and the Chovalicr Coraman they had
called to pay their parting respects TO the CHIEF
preparatory to their embarcation for Franco. ~
Forty years after this event had passed nwav
and the Father Of bis Country had lopp been
called TO his great reward in better world when
Mr.. Gusts bad the singular happiness to present to
the nations guest, at the tomb of Mount Vernon
ring containing lock of Washinrton's hair; the
group assembled at the old tomb whore rested the
remains. ihe ADDRESS on presenting the ring,
with Laiayettes reply, and indeed the unique and
imposing spectacle that Mount Vernon exhibited
ON the 18th Of October, 1884, deaed in the Jour
mails OF that period, forms one of the most distin-
gu'shed features IN tho memorable triumph Of the
nations guest.
M Edmond Lafayette was much interested in all
That was told him touching his estimabc father,
Geo. Washington Lafayette, (lateiy dcceascd,) OF
his first arrival in Philadelphia in l706. and intro

The pilgrim Of La Grange, when bidding adou
to the spot, venerable in the estimation of the GOOD
and wise of all countries aud cndcarcd by SO many
memories to the family Of Lafayette declared that
he felt deeply impressed by ali that he had sern
and heard; that II was bright day in his exit
ence; that hi would be chcored in ali bis after life
by the reflection, that bic had performed sacrsd
duty in making bis pilgrimage to the tomb Of

AN EXCITING SoENE.--Thc Albany Argus, of the
18th instant describes exciting which took
place in Albany the day previous on the occasion of
a man and his daughter going on board of a steam
boat. They stepped from the pier on the gang
plank-the man having large trunk on his shout
der. The top of this hit the awning of the boat,
which caused one end Of it to swing against the
girl and push her of the plank into the river In
an instant every exertion possible was put forth
by those on the boat and the dock to rescue her
but on account of the narrow space between
the dock and boat they worked TO great disadvan-
tage. The screams of the young girl as she strug-
gled IN the water, the agony Of the father, the hur
ried movements and quick orders Of those engaged
in the rescue, made an exciting scene of few mo-
ments' duration. Some of the hands of the boat
went Immediately into the wheel house. and down
on the wheel TO the water, and from there caught
the girl she hoated towards them. When the 10y
ful cry was given, "They have got her-sho is
alivc' the poor father seemed completely over
powered with emotion. She was taken on board
the Armenia, and in five minutes was on her way
down the river, with but very slight if any inju-
rics.
To prevent similar accidents and more fatal re-
suite, the Argus says law should be passed oom-
peng all steamboats, to have suitable sides TO their
gang planks, and a separate plank for baggage
and freight.
