Death Of Catharine T. Washington.

The Cincinnati GGzefte says /:
"Mrs Catharine L. WashingtioD, the near.
est relative Of the Father Of his Country, died
on Saturday, at the the residence Of her SOM
in-law, DIR. j. NJ. Mackenzie, in Delhi She
was born on the 25th Of August, 1870, and
was consequently in the eightieth year Of her
age. The deceased was the wife Of the late
Samuel Washington. grand nephew Of Gen.
eral Washington, though bearing remote
relationship to her husband.
.They came TO the West from Virginia
about twenty yearsagc, stopping temporarily at
Wheeling. and finally setting in Newport, KY,
where they both remained until, eight years
ago. they came into the family Of DR.. Mack
enzie in this city. and removed with him to
his residence in Delhi, when he left the city.
"She was for many years prominent and
devoted member Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. After their removal to Delhi, with
out n change of membership, she attended the
Presbyterian Church, and was earnestly en-
gagged in its work until her failing health about
one year ago admonished her that her labor on
earth was rapidly drawing to q close She
retained her physical vigor to an unusual age,
and was distinguished for high character, and
one that was singularly well balanced. Inc
dignity which characterized the family also
manifested itself in no small degree IN her,
and a serene temper, with which she was
blessed, was constantly speaking from pla-
cid face. The traces OF the Washington
nb,s;oonomy were quite discernibIe in her,
md came on. with striking resemblance to
GeperaI Washington after her death. Though
her strength had been rapidly failing of late,
she was seriously sick only about six weeks.
Her last words were those Of affection for her
family, and unfailipg trust in the Saviour.
..She leaves two children who survive her,

St. Louis Well Character Of the Water

The Lansing (Mich.) Republican states
that the excitement at st. Louis, Gratiot
county, over the remarkable well recently dis
covered in that place continues undated, and
large number of invalids are seeking relief
there from their various diseases. The spring
seems to be q mineral water of moderate
power, we'll adapted for the treatment of
rheumatism, and heavily charged with cleo
tricity. Knife>blades held in the current for
five minutes become SO charged with mag
netism that they readily lift ten-penny nail
and seem to retain the power of attraction
Accommodations have been prepared for the
crowd of strangers whoare beginning to throng
the town. and it is becoming quite a busy
and popular resort, while building is rapidly
going forward, and it seems likely that the
progress of the town will be exceedingly rapid.
Positive relief in cases of rheumatism has al
ready been secured in several instances, and
it is probable that the water will be found
useful for many other complaints Another
important discovery has just been made by
Messrs. Patterson and Christian, who noticed
place where the water had been conducted
through tin pipe. A portion of the pipe
had been cut off, and had fallen TO the ground,
where it was kept constantly wet by the flow
ing stream. On the surface had accumulated
a galvanic coat of understanding FURNISHED
gold 1t was brought to Lansing, tested by
Professor Crane, of the Lansing Museum;
and the substance accumulated upon the tin
is stated to be chloride of gold. The infer
ence is that the water holds this valuable
metal in solution, and the discovery has nat
urally still further augmented the excitement
in st. Louis and vicinity. 1t certainly seems
not only that this well is likely to prove val
and that another source of convenience, COM
fort and wealth, may thus be opening to the
State.

EXTRAORDINARY SELF IMMoLATIoN.-
The following statement appears in the Pail
Mall Gazette:
GAIL the extraordinary proceedings of the
many fanatical sects whose rapid increase has
excited SO much anxiety in Russia are fairly
thrown in the shade by terrible act of self
immolation which is reported from the gov
ernment of Saratow. A few months ago the
prophets of a new religion made their appear
ance in that part of the empire, preaching
self destruction by fire as tho only sure road
to salvation, and so readily was their dreadful
doctrine received by the ignorant and super
etitious peasantry that in one large village no
less than seventeen hundred persons assembled
in some wooden houses, and, having barricaded
the doors and windows, set the buildings on
fire aud perished in the flames. The author
tiles are doing all they can to stay the progress
of this new madness, but their task is obvious
" difficult one. The punishments which
the law can infiict must have little terror for
enthusiasts who deliberately choose death SO
horrible as the true road to Heaven"

TIE PHILADELPHIA MATER SUPPLY
The Philadelphia Ledgerof Wednesday says:
yesterday afternoon at 8 o'clock for the
first time in about five weeks, the water passed
over the dam at Paramount The water COM
menced rising in the morning, at the hour
named it passed over, and at o'clock it was
in volume of at least eight inches over the
temporary breast-works erected during the
drought. This was the signal for the move
ment of the large number of canal-boats above
and below the dam, and during the afternoon
and night a large number were "locked
through" The unusual stir in business in
the neighborhood attracted the attention of a
large crowd of spectators at Fairmount, and
the operations were witnessed with great in-
terest. In connection with the water supply,
it may be mentioned that the steam fuating
engine from New York reached here on Mon>
day evening, and was anchored below the dam
and in front of the wheelhouses. At 3 o'clock
the steamer was put in operation-connection
between the boat and the basin being made
rby means of an iron pipe, and large volume
of water was pumped, variously estimated at
from 1000 to 5000 gallons per minute. All
the turbines were in operation yesterday, and
the effect upon the supply in thu basin was
very perceptible."

A Gentle Reminder.
The Promise to the Baby FULFILLED to he
AEaiden.


Lord Eldon was sitting in his study over a
table of papers when young and lovely girl
slightly rustic in her attire, slightly en-
barrassed by the novelty of her position. but
thoroughly in command of her wits-entered
the room and walked up to the lawyers chair.
"My DEAR" said the Chancellor, rising and
bowling with Old World courtesy, "who are
you"
"Lord EIdon," answered the blushing
maiden, "I am Bessie Bridge, of Weobly, the
daughter of the Vicar of Weobly, and papa
has sent me to remind you of promise which
you made him when was baby and you
were a guest in his house, on the day of your
first election as member of Parliament for
Weobly."
ga promise, my dear young lady ?" inter
posed the Chancellor, trying to recall how he
had pledged himself.
'sYes, Lord Eldon, promise. You were
standing over my cradle when papa said to
you: MIR. Scott, promise me if ever you are
Lord Chancellor, when my little girl is poor
clergyman's wife, you will give her husband
living and you answered, Mr.. Bridge,
my promise is not worth a crown, but give
it to you wishing it were worth more.'"
Enthusiastically the Chancellor exclaimed
"You are quite right admit the obliga>
tion. I remember all about it." and then,
after pause, archly surveying the damsel,
whose graces were the reverse of matronly,
he added: "But, surely, the time for keep
ing my promise has not yet arriyedG You
cannot be any ones wife at present 2"
For few seconds Bessie hesitated for an
answer, and then, with blush and ripple
of silver laughter, she replied
s'No, but do wish to be somebody's wife.
am engaged to young clergyman, and there
is a living in Herefordslire, near my old
home, that has recently fallen vacant, and II
you will give it to Alfred, why then, Lord
Eldon, We shall mary before the end of the
year"
Is there need to say that the Chancellor
forthwith summond his Secretary, that the
Secretary forthwith made out the presentation
to Bessie's lover, that having given the Chan
cellor kiss of gratitude, Bessie made good
speed back to Herefordshire, hugging the pre-
cious document all the way home.
