Washin gron in q Storm.

From oil accounts, when Gen. Washing.
ton was in passion, 1t was grand one,
with just that sort of intensity that gives
us an idea ofsuppressed power of strengh
we do not quite see.
In the volume recently prepared b, the
executors of Richard Rush, entitled "Oc.
casional Productions" we find an anec.
dote illustrating this. When, in 1871, the
officer arrived with dispatches announcig
the defeat OF st. CLAIR, Washington was at
dinner. His Secretary, therefore, left the
table TO receive them, but the messenger
SAID his instructions were to deliver them
to General Washington i'm person. The
Secretary returned, and Washington left
the table 10 see the officer On coming
back, ne made an apology for his absence,
but SAID nothing OF the business, and
maintained his usual affability during tie
whole evening. AT ten o'clock the com.
pany had all gone and Mrs. Washington
retired, leaving only the General and his
Secretary, who described the scene.-
Washington walked the floor for some
minutes, and then sat down. But it was
plain that he had been suppressing a
strong emotion. Suddenly he broke out.
"lts all over-St. Clairs defeated rout 4,
ed-the officers nearly all killed, the men
by whole sale-the route complete-too
shocking to think of, and surprise into
the bar gain !" He uttered this with
great vehemence, paused, got up and
walked the room, then directly stopped
short and roke out: "Yes, here on this
very spot | took leave of him; wished
him success and honor; you have your
Instructions, | said, from the Secretary
OF war, / had strict eye to them, and
will add but one word--beware of sur-
prise. l repeat it, beware of a surprise
you know how the Indians fight us. He
went of with that as my last solemn war
ming thrown into his ears. And yet to
suffer that army to be cut TO pieces, hack
ed, butcheo, tomahawked, by surprise,
the very thing guar ded him against O,
dod, u, God, he's worse than q murderer
How can he answer for it to his country !
The blood ostho slain is upon him, the
the curse fwidows and orphans, the.curse
of Heaven .a
While making these explanations his
frame shook, and he tossed his hands
wildly. The tempest past and Washing
ton seating himself, said in calm voice,
this must not go beyond this room." =
Another, and longer pause and he siad
IN lower tone, General St. Clair shall
have justice-I will hear him without dis
pleasure he shall have full Justice"

American Hurry.

The hurry, hustle, excitement and gen

the Yankee character is thus happily hit
off by a cotemporary.
Look at the theatres, the people come
rushing in at the middle of the piece
and before tho curtain begins to fall, or
the tag to be spoken, or the moral ex-
planned, up start a hundred people in a
tremendous hurry to get out, as if their
lives depended on their being somewhere
else within two minutes and half. How
many fine effects in a play-how many
chef d'euvres in a concert have we seen
utterly destroyed by this hammered
and indecent haste.

How WE Bow TO OURsKLv s.--Thc fol.
lowing is from the Fourth of July oration
delivered at Port Richmond, on Sta, en-
Island: This da, is sacred to liberty
Other DAYS have their peculiar consecra.
tion. Thanksgiving is dear 10 the fillial
sentiment, both human and divine
Christmas is precious to our religious faith,
New Years day to social enjoyment but
the words Fourth of July ring out like q
jublant song, and the burden of the song
is liberty. To-day we are allowed to
praise ourselves to say what fine fel>
low our country is, and how wonderfully
he has grown. We are never very slow to
do that. Like Coieridge's German, who
never spoke to himself without lifting his
hat, SO on the Fourth of July we make q
profound bow to ourselves. But it is not
habit peculiar to Americans. The old
Roman wds proudly content to say, / am
a Roman citizen The Englishman sin
cerely believes that Britannia rules the
waves, and that England is much the lar
gest potato in the hill. The Frenchman
chants the glory Of France as if no other
nation were ever glorious. The German
sings the charms of Fatherland and the
louder as he leaves 1t behind Even the
lrishman, with native modesty, has been

lea flaps her wings and crows her Yankee

lg"Lorenzo Dow is still remembered
by some of the "old iogies" as one of the
most eccentric men that ever lived. On
one occasion he took the liberty, while
preaching, to denounce rich man in the
community, recently deceased. The re-
suit was an arrest, trial for slander, an
Imprisonment in the county Jail. After
Lorenzo got out of limbo, he announced
his intention to give sermon about IAN

greeted his appearance, With great sol.
emnity he opened the bible and read,
"And there was rich man who died and
went to-" then stopping short, and
seeming TO be suddenly impressed, he con.

of the patent oft ce building, an object a.

all Americans visiting that institution, is
about being removed to the Smithsonian
grounds, to be placed among the many

United States in 1899, on board the fri,

place for the remains Of General Andrew

Last Hours OF Lafayette.

No life had ever been more passionate
~ political than his no man ever placed
his ideas and political sentiments above
all other prepossessions or interests. But
politics we're utterly unconnectei with
his death. Ill .or three weeks, lo ap,
proacled his last hour. Iii children and
household surrounded his bed--he ceased
to speak, and it was doubtful whether he
could see. His son George observed that
with uncertain gestures he sought for
something in his bosom. He came to his
fathers assistance, and placed in his hands
medal lion which he always wore sus-
pen ied round his neck. NJ de Lafayette
raised it to his lipS this was his last
motion. The medallion contained min.
iature and lock of hair of Madame de
Lafayette his wife, whose loss hc had
mourned for twenty seven years. Thus,
already separated from the entire world.
alone with the tho't and image of the de.
voted companion of his life, he died. In
arranging his funeral it was recognized
fact in the family, that NJ de Lafayette
had always wished to be buried in the
small cemetery adjoining the convent of
Piepus, by the side of his wife. in the
midst ofthe victims of the revolution, the
greater part roYaiists and aristocrats,
whose ancestors had founded that pious
establishment. The desire of the veteran
of 1889 was scrupulously respected and
complied with An immense crowd-sol-
dlers, national guards, and popuiace--ac-
componied the funeral procession along
the boulevards and streets of Paris. Ar
rived at the gate of the convent of Piepus,
the crowd halted; the interior enclosure
could only admit two or three hundred
persons The family, the nearest rea,
uves, and the principal authorities enter

then across the garden, and finally enter.
ed the cemetery. There no political man.
Hesitation took place; no Grafton was pro-
nounced; religion and the intimate rem
inl'cences of the soul were present; pub.

death bed or the grave of the man whose
life they had occupied and cd.--Gui-

ATTACK FROM A SWORD FIsH. "A late

coppering the guano packet Josephine,

fish was discovered, broken off in the hull
Of the vessel, under its counter, and about
four feet forward from the radder post, it
having passed through the copper, the
feltirg, and three>inch oak plank
Judging from the size of the weapon,
where broken off, it must have penetra
ted some fifteen or eighteen inches into
the solid wood work of which the stern is
composed In passing through the oak
plank, ,he sword opened quite large
crack, which, had it been in any other
part Of the vessel, would have caused a Sc.
rious leak. The force with which the fish
struck the brig must have been terrific.
How many vessels founder from the at
tacks OF these powerful and destructive
fishes will never be known, but it il prob>

cause alone. In most cases, in attacking
ships, they mistake them for wLfles or
