In the year ITS the Rev. John Wes-
ley received the following letter, in con-
sequence of recent resolution of the
government, that circulars should be
sent to all persons who were suspected of
having plate, on which they had not
paid the duty: "Reverend sir: As the
commissioners can not doubt that you
have plate for which you have hitherto
neglected to make an entry, 1 have been
directed to send you copy of the order,
and to inform you that they expect that
you will forthwith make the entry of
all your plate, such entry to bear date
from the commencement of the plate
duty, OF from such time rs you have
owned, used, had or kept any quantity
of silver plated, chargeable by the
act of parliament; as in default thereof,
the board will be obliged to signify
your refusal to their lordships. -
Mr.. Wesley replied 6 My dear sir, |
have two silver tea spoons at London,
and two at Bristol: this is all the plate
which / have at present; and | shall not
buy any more while so many around
me want bread" Perhaps there never
was a more charitable man than John
Wesley, His liberality knew no bounds
but an empty pocket. He gave away,
not merely a certain part ofhisincome,
but all that he had. His own wants be-
ing provided for, he devoted all the rest
to the necessities of others He enter
ed upon this good work at very early
period We are told that when he had
thirty pounds ayear, he lived on twenty
eight, and gave away forty shillings,
The next year, receiving sixty pounds.
his still lives on twenty-eight, and gave
away forty shillings, The third year he
he received ninty pounds and gave away
sixty-two. The fourth year he received
one hundred and twenty pounds. Still
he lived on twenty eight, and gave to
the poor ninety-two. During the rest
of his life he lived economically and in
in the course OF fifty years, it has been
supposed, he gave away more than fifty
thousand pounds.

I-CENTENNIAL ANNIvERsARY CELE-
BBATIoN OF THE /. 0. O. F..-The COM
mittees of the Grand Lodge of the
United States and of the Grand Lodge
and Grand Encampment of Pennsyl-
vania, are diligently engaged in making
the immense preparations required to
make this grand event successful and
splendid one. From present indica-
tions, the visitors from other States will
be in attendance in very large numbers.
SHOULD the weather prove favorable.
Considerable trouble is experienced by
the committees having charge of the
supplying of hotel accommodation on
April Goth, the day of celebration, and
they may be compelled to request pos
ST ssion of the various Odd Fellows and
other Halls in the city, for the purpose
of providing sleeping apartments for
the thousands who will be in attendance.
Arrangements are being perfected
with the various railroad lines leaping
into Philadelphia to get decreased
rate of fare for those who desire to be-
come participants in the ceremonies.
1t is estimated from information already
rece ived that the procession will num-
Der between thirty five and forty thou
sand persons, who in the beautiful re-
gala of the Order, and with the instruc.
tions in relation to uniformity of dress
carefully observed, will present grand

A Big BLOW UP.-The successful eX-
pertinent of blowing up whole noun
tain, in order to facilitate mining, is
the latest thing in the explosive line.
The result of this operation is thus de-
'scribed:
The Smartville California blast, SO
long in preparation, has been fired, and
the results singularly coincide with the
calculations. A tunnel was bored $40
feet in length, in which were placed
1900 kegs of powder. An electric
wire threaded the mazes of the tunnel
and tapped each key. At a distance of
600 feet, the battery stood, connected
and charged. After public notice, in
pursuance of which the inhabitants of
the surrounding valleys left their
homes, and at stated hour, a roman
tic young lady applied the lightning.
The mountain rose some fifteen feet,
burst into atoms, and settled back a
pulverized mass. Water will do the
rest. 1t can be washed now from sum-
NIT to base. .....-
If anybody wants an earthquake got
up or any desired scale, all he has to
do, is to get some Yankee engineers at
the job.
