One of washington's Aidos-do-Camp.

Among the lOug-standiug revolU-
tionary claims which will probably
come again to the notice Of Congress
during the present session is that of
the heirs Of Col VIM. Grayson. The
name is unfamiliar now, but ninety
years ago it was a pillar Of strength to
the American cause. A writer In the
National Intelligencer gives the fol
lowing "Reminiscences, which will be en-
tiTeiY new to most readers:
"The late John TaliaferrO related to
me an anecdote, the last time / ever
saw him, of Mr.. Monroe and Colonel
GTayson, that may be repeated. They
were both in the Continental Congress,
and during the sexcitiDg period which
has been adverted to he accompanied
the former on horseback to New York.
Late in the afternoon, while on their
journey, they arrived at Bladensburg,
where they we're met by the latter
The patriot statesmen and colOnels of
the Revolution embraced each other
ahectionately, being the best of friends
and distantly related, and Immediate
" entered into conversation upon ma
tional affairs. Colonel Grayson was
one of the most fascinating gentlemen
in conversation of the time In which
he lived, aDd MIR. Monroe a courteous
and attentive listener. As long as he
could hold his eyes open young Talia
ferro did not let a word escape his
ears, and at late hour left them fete-G
tete and pjed-a-pied before a cheerful
wood fire. At six the next morning
he descended the stairs and found
them in the precise condition in which
he left them, a mere chunk of the fu-
ell remaining unconsumed. In those
days patriot hearts knew how to feel
and patriot brains to work. That

influence in shaping a nations desti-
nies."
It may be added that Colonel Gray
son was a colleague of Mr.. Monroe IN
the Continental Congress and in the
Virginia convention. When the Con
stit1tion was ratified by that State, he
was elected, with Richard Henry Lee
to the United States Senate I'LL health

seat, and he died soon after.

which are the Yellowstone and the

ACHILLES AND THE ToRToIsE-Ihe
celebrated aud well-known puzzle of
Achilles aud tortoise was invented by
Zeno of Flea some centuries before
Christ. and furnishes a good example
of this philosophical play This prob
lem is as follows: IF Achilles and q
tortoise were to run a race aud Aehil-
les we're to run ten times az fast as the
tortoise, If the latter had tho start,
Achilles would never overtako the tor
toise, as can be thus shown
Suppose them at the starting of
Achilles to be separated by a space Of
a thousand feet, when Achilles has
run this thousand, the tortoise would
have run a hundred, and when Aohil-
les had run this hundred, the tortoise
would have run ten, and so on for ever.
This sophism has been considered in
soluble by many philosophers, and
among others by DR.. Thomas Brown,
since It actually leads 10 an absurd CON
clusion by a sound argument. Tho
fallacy lies in the concealed assump-
tion that what is infinitely divisible is
also infinite.

What Supplies the Great Lakes 2

Mr.. George A. Shufeldt, Jr., replies
that they get water from underground
rivers. He calls attention TO the fact
that the surface tributaries of the great
lakes will hardly make good the wear
and tear of atmospheric absorption
and evapOration. Yet the lakes are
Of immense size, and constantly dis
charge vast volumes of water through
their outlets, Sault St Marie, Maoki-
nav, &c, without sensible elimination.
Hence, as there are no adequate
sources of supply above the surface,
we must look for them beneath it.
That the crust of the earth is full
of water-courses is a familiar fact
Illustrations are found in the Nam
moth Cave, the Adelsburg Mountains
in Switzerland, the lost rivers on our
prairies, and the artesian wells which
are now becoming numerous IN Europe
and Ia our own country. At Passy,
near Paris, the auger struck an amaz-
ing stream of water eighteen hundred
feet below the surface, which dis
charges nearly six millions of gallons
per day, rushing to the surface with
great power and velocity. This is
strong evidence, certainly, of a great
underground stream at this point
The great wells of Kissingen, in Ba-
varia, at Munden, in Hanover, at
Louisville, in Kentucky. Charleston,
S. c., and hundreds of others, many
of which are two thousand feet deep
discharging great volumes Of water
all tend to demonstrate the fact that
the crust of the earth is penetrated IN
all directions and at all depths with
| these streams and water-cOurses,
At this point of the argument, Mr.
Shufedt asks his readers to turn tC
the map of North America and note
particularly the point where the thir'
ty-seoond degree Of west Longitude
crosses the forty-fourth parallel o
north latitude Within a radius o
FIVE hundred miles, Of which this i
the center, will be found the great wa
