The Centreville OJserrer intimates desire to
know why it is that the Wilmington papers do
not reach that town until they are day old,
whereas the New York papers are received the
same day they are published. The Observer must
be mistaken. The n. Y. papers do not reach this
city until 1 O'Clock three hours after the depar-
tura nf the mail down the Peninsula and the ma.
pers of the two cities must reach Centrevie by
the same mail, the day following their publica.

Rn-ning Of Martin Luther's Mon
agfery.

An interesting historical relic, or
rather whole collection of relics which
it is impossible to replace, have Ia few
days ago) become prey to the flames in
the ancient city of Erfurt. There stands,
says the London Pail Mall Gazette of the
10th, the Augustine monastery in which
Martin Luther lived and conceived his
first idea of reformation, converted at
present into an orphan asylum. A fire
suddenly broke out few days ago and
has totally destroyed the most interest
ing part of the building in which was
Luther's cell, and also the room where
he first gave shape to his great scheme.
10 these yooms which have been up to
the latest time shown to strangers as
curiosities, Luther's Bible was kept with
marginal notes in the reformer's own
handwriting, together with the painting,
Death Dance" by Beck, and other
valuable relics. All of these have been
burnt. The pecuniary damage is esti-
mated at about sixty thousand thalers.
The historical loss is incalculable,

A Female knight of Pythias.

The Scranton Times has an account
Of a great excitement among the Knights
Of Pythias Of that place A nice-look-
ing person, young and genteel, came to
that place few months ago, giving the
name of Francis Williams. He became
acquainted at the boarding house with
several members of the Knights of
Pythias lodge, and finally expressed his
desire to join. He was proposed, went
through the usual routine, was elected,
received the Pages degree, made fa-
vorable impression, advanced to the
second degree, and was duly prepared
for the third, or Knights degree, when
the candidate was discovered to be a wo-
man. The members were startled and
nonplussed, and for long while silence
reigned. No one knew what to do. 1t
was finally agreed that she should be
kept under supervision until the Worthy
Grand Chancellor be heard from.

Death of "a Friend of Carl SchuFz-
A Political Escape.

q The romantic fight Of the agitator
Kinkel from the prison at Spandau ex-
cited much interest at the time. One Of
the men who aided his escape, says the
Pail Mall Gazette, has just died at
Strehlen, near Dresden. He was n
landed proprietor, Adolph Hensel by
name, and his share in KinkePs flight
was never discovered till his death The
Volks Zetung relates the story as fol-
lows: sa
On the night of the 9Th of November,
1850, Hensel, disguised as a coachman,
sat waiting on the box of carriage
close by the house of correction at
Spandau, ready to drive away at mo
ments notice. he was accompanied by
Carl Schurz and DIR. Prudential, and
with them saw Kinkle let himself down
with rope from the giddy height of an
opening in the prison roof He drove
off at tearing gallop with Schurz and
Kinkel soon after midnight. He had
chosen his strongest and swiftest
horses. They pressed on without a
moments rest to Gransee, a village
eight German miles from Spandau.
Here the hungry and exhausted
horses were baited, and at eight o clock
on the morning of the 9th of November
the fugitives reached the frontier of
Strelitz, and arrived at Alstrelitz at one
o'clock in the day. The horses had done
thirteen German miles almost at a
stretch. Hensel drove back to his es-
tate from Alstrelitz, and the fugitives
went on to Rostock, from which place,
as is well known, they embarked for
England. The police never succeeded
in identifying the coachman without
whose assistance the escape could
scarcely have been effected, and Hensel
never experienced any molestatfon from

RemarkabIe coincidence.

From the Saline NO. Progress
During the late war, in the battle
which was fought near Kenesaw noun
tains, the First Ohio cavalary made a
charge upon some Confederate troops,
whic, brought on a hand-to-hand con-
hict between the two commands. In the
shock of battle, two soldiers, little
separated from their comrades, locked
sabres and engaged in deadly conflict
Neither getting the better of the other,
and feeling no personal hostility, they
stared one another in the face, and mu-
tually agreed to stop the fight. The
parties named were Calvin Dugan, Co.
II First Ohio cavalry, and Henry Davis,
Co. E Forests battery. The latter was
a Welshman, and detailed as scout for
General Forrest. Davis, in broken Eng
lish, addressed his enemy, " You let me
alone | let you alone" Dugan replied,
with an army by-word, Just as l ex-
pected." They passed on, and the
battle ended, but the soldiers did not
forget the circumstances The war
ended, and Dugan emigrated to Carroll
county. Missouri. Davis worked with
General Forrest, on his farm, for some
time. and then commenced roaming
through the West, and during a portion
of the year 1871 was in the employ OF
General Joe Shelby. One day last
week in passing through the county he
stopped st De Witt to spend the night,
and went into & saloon TO take drop.
Dugan also happened to be in the same
house, and recognized him immediately.
Stepping up to Davis he slapped him on
the shoulder and asked him if he re-
membered crossing sabfes with an enemy
at Kenesaw mountain. Davis replied
that he did, aud proceeded forthwith to
give a detailed account Of she time,
place and circumstances. The old enc.
mics took a friendly drink and passed
the night together, the greater portion
Of which was spent in talking over the
ups and downs Of soldier life, and their
adventures in the terrible conflict.
Truth is stranger than cction.

Tie Circus. Coles Circus exhibi-
ted in Goodson on Saturday last,
to at least 1 200 people. The me-
nageric was fair one, and the Cir
Gus about first class. Mr.. Henry
Cooke, father of the great rider
Jno. Henry Cooke, introduced his
learned horse, Grand Duke Alexis.
His feats were surprising, excel
ling those of any horse We have
seen. The acrobatic exercises were
truly wonderful. The trapeze per-
Torrance, by two young ladies,
were more novel than wonderful,
but the barcbacked riding, excelled
anything else which has been ex-
hibited in the Country.
The managers and officials were
polite and agreeable, their bills
were promptly and pleasantly paid,
and we join the public in the wish,
that Coles Circus may come again.
