INTERESTING RELIC.-We have Just seen
NEST interesting article, being nothing less
than the Masonic gavel used by Gen. George
Washington in laying the corner stone of the
United States Capitol. This was originally a
plain marble gavel, but gold cap has been
lately fitted to it by Mr.. Lewis. Those
who understand the technical difficulties at
tending such job, will appreciate the work
manllke and artistic manner in which it i. ex-
ecuted, and also the beauty of tho lettering
OF the inscription, which was engraved by Mr.
ID. o Hare, and is as follows:
This gavel was prepared for brother Geo
Washington for the pur pose of laying the cor
ner stone of the United States Caoitol, and
was so used by him, Sept. is, 1893; he then
presented it to Columbia Lodge, No. 10, of
Maryland, afterwards Potomac Lodge, No a.,
and now Potomac Lodge, No. 5, Of the Grand
Lodge OF the District of Columbia; by whose
order of 184O, this inscription was placed upon
it"
This attractive relic is to be seen at present
at the jcwelry establishment of Mr. Lewis. on
Pennsylvania avenue, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets.

Sugar.

The present high prices of sugar afford
striking illustration of the fact that neither
the abandonment of the protective tariff nor
the reduction in the amount OF duties imposed
upon any given article can be relied upon as
certain recipe for reducing the price. The or
gin of the price Of sugar must be principally
booked for ia the abandonment, few years
ago, by Great Britain, of the protection hith-
erto extended TO her own colonial sugars, and
a general reduction about the same time in the
amount Of duty paid by sugars OF all kinds.
The consequence of this change was Sc
we're shuck 10 the production of sugar in the
British Colonies which were thus called upon
to encounter the competition Of Cuba and
other slave countries, at moment when they
had not yet entirely recovered from the shock
to productioh occasioned by the Introduction
OF the free labor system. Our newspapers
continue TO repeat the old story Of the rninons
effect OF emancipation IN the British West In.

Iadia Journals in their interest, have Of late
complained only at having been deprived OF
protection which, 80 long as slavery lasted, the
British sugar colonies had always enjoyed.
The immediate effect Of the change 10 Eng,
lsh tariff was TO furnish the British consumers
with sugar at cheaper rate than they had
ever obtained il at btiore- Cuba AZ that time
producing a large crop OF which, excluded
from the British market she had been able To

Il is not % be supposed, however, that these

They are greatly stimulating the production
