The PHILADELPHIA MASONIC TEMPLE.-A
letter dated Philadelphia, August 8, says: "The
Masonic Brotherhood of the Quaker City are
making extraordinary preparations for the ded-
ication of their magnificent temple in Broad
street. Invitations have been extended to every
lodge throughout the country, and many dele
gates are expected from France, Germany and
England. The jubilee attending its completion
will commence on the 25th of September, and
will be kept UP until the evening of the 9th.
The dedicatory services will be conducted by
the Grand Master of the State. of Pennsylva-
MIA, assisted by the masters and subordinates eft
other lodges and it is estimated that one hum
dred thousand members of the mystic tie will
participate in the festivities The temple is
now in all advanced state of completion, and
from its immense size and imposing style OF
architecture is one of the most conspicuous
public buildings in the city. Much has been
said by New Workers and Bostonians in praise
of their respective Masonic temples, but it is
now generally conceded that the Philadelphia
structure far surpasses both as respects size,
cost, and beauty 1t will make two of that at
Boston, and is third larger than the temple in
Sixth avenue and Twenty third street. 1t is of
such immense size, and is filled with so many
lodge, chapter and commandery rooms, that to
those uninitia:ed it is almost labyrinth. 1t
is composed entirely of finely dressed granite,
of whitish Lead colored tint, is $50 feet in
length, is $50 feet wide, and is three lofty sto-
ries in height. The grounds upon which it is
built, in Broad street. near Market, together
with the structure, cost the Masons upwards of
twelve hundred thousand dollars. The archi-
lecture of the building is a combination of the
the old and new schools admirably blended.

The Rhett and Adams Families.

The Savannah Neaus makes the following
statement concerning the family connection
between the Rhetts of South Carolina and the
Adamses of Massachusetts,:
There is tradition connected with the birth
and career of the distinguished Robert Barn
well Rhett. At the time when he was in the
United States House of Representatives, the
champion of the Southern cause, John Quincy
Adams was his ablest and most conspicuous
antagonist. We had often heard that these
gifted men were descended from common
ancestry, and that there consequently coursed
through their veins kindred blood. We
deerled the report mere idle rumor, but subse-
queEt inquiry has satisfied US of its truth. 1t
is curious piece of American family history,
worthy of publication, and is briefly this:
Thomas and James Smith, brothers, were
Eng:ishmen who followed the fortunes of Crom-
well. They were prominent as political writer's
on that side. They came to the Province OF
South Carolina in 1871, being attracted thither
by 1he restoration of Charles the Second.
Thomas remained in the Province and became
ruling man. In 1851 he received from the
acres land, situate in South and North Carolina.
From this immense estate in lands he acquired
the sitle of Landgrave Smith, and by that
name he became most generally known. In
1893 he was appointed governor of the Pro-
vince of South Carolina. Barnweli Rhett is a
descendant in the direct line from this man.
He belongs, we believe, to the sixth generation
of his descendants.
james Smith, the brother, was dissenting
clergyman. He soon moved to the Province Of
Massachusetts. His granddaughter Tor it may
be, his great-grand-daughter) married ".Old
John Adams" in October, 1764 John Quincy
Adams is therefore lineal descendant OF
James, the brother of "Landgrave Smith. u
Abigail Smith, the mother of John Quincy
Adams, was one of the most remarkable wo-
men this or any other country has produced.
A mind free from prejudice can scarcely read
her History without coming to the conclusion
that she was the most intellectual among the
many intellectual women who have been mis-
tresses of the White House.
The descendants of Thomas Smith are very
numerous in South Carolina, and there are
many also in Georgia. Gen. Screven, who was
killed near Midway, Liberty County, during
the revolution, and after who Screyen County
in this State is named, was on the maternal
side a descendant of Landgraye Smith.
The intellect of these ancestors has, through
many generations, been transmitted. Many oi
the ab[est men of South Carolina, of the pres
ent and the past generation, trace their origin
to Lardgrave Smith. a considerable per cent.
of the Oldest and most famous families of that
State are of his blood The Adams family,
for Intellect of the highest order, associated,
too, with the best moral worth, is, perhaps, an
exception to the whole world in the transmits
sion Of intellect from father to son, and from
generation to generation.
