A Glimpse Of Gen. Washington.

One other scene may properly be add
ed to this brief record of the struggles
and triumphs of old New York. There
came a sunshiny day in April, 1889,
when George Washington, President
elect of the United States by the unan-
imous voice of the people, stood on a
balcony in front of the Senate Chamber
in the old Federal Hall on Wall Street,
to take the oath of Office. An immense
multitude filled the streets, and the win
dows and roofs of the adjoining houses.
Clad in a suit of dark brown cloth of
American manufacture, with hair pow
dered, and with white silk stockings,
silver shoe-buckles and steel-hilted dress
sword, the hero who had led the colo
MES to their independence came modest
ly forward to take up the burdens that
peace had brought. Profound silence
fell upon the multitude as Washington
responded solemnly to the reading of
the oath of office, 81 swear-so help me
God" Then, amid cheers, the display
of flags, and the ringing of all the bells
in the city, our first President turned to
face the duties his countrymen had in
posed upon him. In sight of those who
would have made an idol of him, Wash
ington's first act was to seek the aid of
other strength than his own. In the
calm sunshine of that April afternoon,
fragrant with the presence Of seed-time
and the promise of harvest, we leave
him on his knees in Old st. Paul's, bow
ed with the simplicity of child at the
feet of the Supreme Ruler of the Uni
F. Mines, in Scribuer'S for

The Oldest Knife in Kentucky.

We have in our possession, says the
Lexington Dispatch, perhaps the Oldest
knife in Kentucky, the details connect
ed with which, were they given in full,
would make a tolerably clear novel. 1t
was made in 1850, the date being yet
visible on the thin, worn, and true-met-
aled blade. It's plain, common knife,
among the first ever manufactured on
the original Barlow style, remembered
by our fathers and grandfathers when
they were boys. The blade is capped
considerably, not having been sharpen
ed for years. Its manufacture antedates
the early Revolution and the Declara-
ton of independence; and what whit
Ting it did, in colonial days, when its
owner was loyal subject of King
George the III, we know not. With its
history, we ourselves are not fully ia
miliar. The old horn handle is worn
smooth and thin, all the corregations
gone, leaving the plain dull horn sur
face. The rivets are still firm and the
handle work in good condition. We
are assured by the giver that it crossed
the water before the days of steam and
locomotive. Its tracery back to Fincas-
tie County, Virginia, before Kentucky
had even territorial existence, is as
severated, and it is claimed, it was with
Hull at the surrender of Detroit. 1t fol-
lowed Kit Carson across the Rocky
Mountains, and has made marks on the
highest peaks of Sierra Nevada, trimmed
switches in the canyons of California,
and pealed oranges among the hacien-
das of Monterey. Along it went, among
the scenes of border warfare of the far
West, growing out of the "bleeding
Kansas - troubles, and LecOmpton I"
and free-soiliSm. 1t has been handed
down through four generations of men,
being 1l5 years old. Governments have
been born, empires made, and nations
swept from existence since then. A few
years ago it found its way from Kansas
City back to Kentucky, and has since
been in the hands of prominent citizen
of Lexington, who, within few days
past, transferred it to our keeping. We
treasure it as relic of by-gone century,
and not for any intrinsic value it pos
sesses. Its original workmanship was
admirable, and the material excellent,
as any one would perceive by taking
hasty glance at its mechanism.

Treatment Of Blessings.

A writer in the american Journal OF
Microscopy gives the following direc-
lions for the treatment of a bee-sting,
which are worth remembering {:
" Onions, ammonia, ashes, beef, and a
hundred other remedies, have been pre-
scribed; but we never found them of
any special value. If the poison-bag
has not been emptied, remove it with a
sharp knife, or, still better, with pair
of tweezers so formed as to grasp the
sting itself, without pressing on the bag.
Common hair-tweezers are just the
thing. This must, however, be done
very quickly, or it will be of no use.
Grasping the bag and sting with the
fingers only Squeezes the poison out of
the bag and into the wound. After the
bag has been removed, suck the wound
strongly, and apply a poultice of moist
mud. We have never found any thing

Terrible Disaster at Reunion.

One of the loveliest islands of the
East has just suffered a tremendous
misfortune. An enormous landslip of
earth and rocks occurred near St.
Denis, in the Island of Reunion, of 2
kilometers, which buried no fewer than
siXty-two persons under a mass of ruin
80 meters in depth, and of course de-
stroyed every thing within its range.
This landslip-which recalls the dread
full catastrophe of Goldau, in Switzer-
land, so touchingly described years ago
by an American author, Mr.. John Neal,
of Portland-proceeded from the high
mountains of the District of Salazie,
about ) kilometers from the hot springs
which exist there, and which have un-
doubtedly a volcanic origin.-N. Y.

A Locomotive Sidewalk.

One of the most singular objects to be
displayed at the Centennial Exhibition
will be section of travelling sidewalk,
an American invention for solving the
problem of rapid transit in cities. This
travelling sidewalk, as it is generally
called, but more properly an endless
railway train, will be half a mile in
length, operated by stationary engines,
and run at a speed of from 10 to 20
miles an hour. The transfer seats, and
all other appliances, will be of the same
size as those intended for general use,
by which means passengers may get on
or off the train with ease and safety
without Stacking the speed of the train.
A company is organizing in this city,
with a capital of 100000, for the pur-
pose of displaying this unique machine.
Among its cOrpOratOrS are Peter Coop
er, George Hoffman, Samuel G. Court
ney, Capt. Spencer, and X. A. Terhune.
The whole work is expected to cost
about $50, 900, and will be operated for
exhibition, with charge to those who ride
upon it. This novel mode of travelling
has attracted much attention of late, and
charters for putting it into practice in
New York City were twice passed by
both branches of the Legislature, but
vetoed by Gov. Dix as being an expert
ment. 1t is the purpose of the Compa-
ny, after the close of the exhibition, to
transport the road and exhibit it in Lon
don and Paris, and other cities.-NeW

Rheumatism Symptom OF Other Dis
eases.

The alarming extent Of chronic rEeuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
veStgation. 1t has lately been ascertaincd
that the disease is the result OF other com
plicatCd diseases Of the liver, kidneys, pan
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is a symptom. II
is also found that, by the removal of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disap-
pears, as a result which seems to substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment of this
disease has been, and we now hail with joy
the dawn of this new discovery. We all
know that the symptoms of these diseases
are generally present in cases Of chronic
rheumatism, but few have supposed the
disease TO be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest remedy
can be found in the SHAKRR EXTRACT OF
ROOTs OR CURATIVE SYRUP; it appears to
be working many cures. We refer to the
article sold by Druggists and A. J. White,
New York.

ScHENcK's PULMoNIc SYRUP, SEA WEED Tone
AND AANpRAKE PnLs.-These deservedly cele-
orated and popular medicines have effected a rev.
olntlon in the healing art. and proved the falacy
OF several maXims which have for many years OBJ
structed the progress OF medical science. The
false suppOsitlon that Consumption is incurable"

dies for that disease, and patients afflicted with II
reConciled themselves to death without making an
effort to escape from a doom which they supposed
10 be unavoidable. II is now proved. however
that Consumption can Be cured and that Ii has
been cured in very great number OF cases (some
Of them apparently desperate ones) by Schenck's
PulmOnic Syrup alone; and in other cases by the
same medicine in connection with Sehenck's Sea

good health for more than forty years, was sup

cured BY the aforesaid medicines, and, since his
recovery many thousands similarly Affected have

maTkable success

Love and Pistols.

Leavenworth tells tale of love and
terror. A young man who has the rep
utation of being rather rough in his
manners, did not like the lover of his sis
ter, and the sister herself did not exactly
like her lover, but didn't know how to
get rid of him. She therefore put her
rough brother up to trick. At II
O'Clock one night there was loud and
boisterOus knocking and kicking at the
front door Of the parlor in which the
lovers were sitting. The girl said it
was her Infatuated brother, who had
sworn to kill any one who visited her.
The young man very naturally hunted
his hat and made his way out of back
window, and tried the mettle of heels
across the commons. The raging broth
er fired five fruitless pistol-shots after
him and let him 90. 1t was hardly likely
that he would come back, but he did
come the very next night. He took out
five-shooter and laid it on the table by
him, and resumed counting. He has
been troubled by that rough, raging
brother no more, and the girl has
changed her sentiments toward the
young man. Love has the best of it
now on both sides. 1t was good way
to win her.
