The Lady Who Discarded Washington.

Bishop Meade, in his " Old Churches and
Families of Virginia, relates the following:
The elder sister of Miss Mary Cary had
married George William Fairfax, at whose
house she was on a visit, when she capti-
waited young man who paid her his
addresses. His affection, however, was
not returned, and the offer of his hand was
rejected by Miss Cary. This young man
was afterward known to the world as GEN.
eral George Washington, the first President
of the United States of America. Young
Washington asked permission of old Mr.
Cary to address his daughter before he
yentured to speak to herself. The reply Of
the old gentleman was: If that is your
business here, sir. wish You to leave the
house, for my daughter has been accus-
toned to ride in her own COACH 1t has
subsequently been said that this answer of
Mr.. Cary to the STRIPPING Washington pro-
duced the independence of the United
States. and laid the foundation of the future
fame of the first of heroes and the best OF
men-our immortal Washington-as 1t was
more than probable that had he obtained
possession of the large fortune which it
was known Miss Cary would carry to the
altar with her, he would have passed the
remainder of life in inglorious ease. II
was an anecdote Of the day that this lady,
many years after she had became the wife
Of Edward Amber, happened 90 be IN
Williamsburg when General Washington
passed through that city at the head Of the
American army, crowned with never-fading
]aurels and adored by bis countrymen.
Having distinguished her among the crowd,
waved his sword TO her military salute,
whereupon she is said to have tainted. But
this wants confirmation, for her whole life
tended to show that she never for moment
regretted the choice she had made. e may
be added, as a curious fact, that the lady
General Washington alterWard married re-
sembled Miss Cary as much as one twin
sister ever did another.

THE TELEPHONE.
A Recent invention of Great Interest to
Musicians

Prof. Reuss, distinguished German per-
former on telegraphic instruments, has re-
Gently made an invention which cannot fail
to prove of great interest to musicians, and,
indeed, to the general public. The tele-
phone-tor that is the name of the new
instruments intended to convey sounds
| from one place to another over the ordinary
telegraph wires, and it can be used to
transmit the uproar of a Wagnerian Or
chestra or the gentle cooling of female
lecturer. In appearance the telephone
somewhat resembles Morse instrument;
but in addition to the usual quantity of
magnets and polished brass, it is provided
with an ear trumpet and curious collection
OF miscellaneous machinery, of small size,
but of presumably enormous horse power.
When Nine. Titlens is singing, or Mr..
Thomas orchestra is playing, Or a cham
pion orator is apostrophizing the American
Eagle, telephone, placed in the building
where such sounds are in process of pro-
duction, will convey them over the telegraph
wires to the remotest corners of the earth
BY means of this remarkable instrument,
man can have the Italian Opera, the FEEDER
al Congress, and his favorte preacher laid
down in his own house. Before many years
we shall probably read in the advertise
ments of house agents description of houses
to let i'll which hot and cold water and
Baptist preachers are laid on in every room:
Of others fitted throughout with gas and
Congressional orators; and still others in
which the front parlor is telephonically
connected with the Academy of Music, and
the back parlor contains a series of instru-
ments by means of which fifty eminent
preachers, of different denominations can
be kept constantly on draught.
The universal use of the telephone will
of course, be viewed with disapprobation
by the sound producing part of the COM
munity, just as the introduction of labor
saving machines was met by the hostility of
the laboring classes. No man who can sit
in his own study with his telephone by his
side, and thus listen to a performance of
an opera at the Academy will care to go to
Fourteenth street and to spend the even
ing in hot and crowded building. In
like manner many persons will prefer to |
hear lectures and sermons in the comfort |
and privacy of their own rooms rather than |
to go to the church Or the lecture room. |
The rural visitor who spends Sunday in
town, and reads a printed notice in the
office of his hotel to the effect that "Tal-
mage's sermons drawn from the wood, can
be had at eleven o'clock in the telephone
room," will, of course, give up his original
intention of risking a journey to Brooklyn,
and will listen to the trembling telephone
rs its sympathetic brass vibrates to the
Jones of the resonant Brooklyn orator.
Thus the telephone, by bringing music

ONE DAY OUT OF SEVEN.

Birds cannot always sing;
Silence at times they ask to nurse spent feeling;
TO see some new. bright thing,
Ere fresh burst of song fresh joy revealing.
Flowers cannot always blow;
Some Sabbath rest they need of silent winter:
Ere from its sheath below
shoots up small, green blade, brown earth to
splinter.
Tongues cannot always speak
God! in this loud world of noise and clatter,
Save us this once week,
To let the sown seed grow-not always scatter.

Mr.. VIM. Page upsets, somewhat en-
phatically the declaration of Admiral
Jenkins, to the effect that Admiral Farragut
was not lashed to the rigging of the flag
ship during the action in Mobile Bay, and
that the story about it was merely one of
those romantic inventions with which the
history of the war is already full. Mr.
Page sets forth in a letter to AppEoton'S
Journal, that his information on the sub
.iect was derived from Admiral Farragut
himself that the Admiral explained to him
that he tied himself to the shrouds with
the deliberate purpose of preventing his
body from falling into the sea in case he
should be wounded or killed, in order that
it might be preserved for his family. The
Admiral even took rope and showed him
just how he had done it. Mr.. Page then
painted his picture in accordance with the
historical facts thus authentically detailed.

VIM. solon, of Virginia City, Nevada,
had one of his feet so badly crushed by an
accident on the Virginia and Truckee Rail
road some days ago as to require amputa-
tion. The operation was successfully per-
formed, and one Of the doctors took the
foot home with him for dissection. While
thus engaged boy arrived and said that
he had come for the foot, that Mr.. Solon
wanted it. The foot was accordingly taken
away and placed in a bureau drawer in Sol
oa's room near his bed. The victim at once
became very restless, suffered intense pain,
and all the opiates administered failed to
his toes were doubled under his feet, and
that he was standing with his whole weight
on that foot also, that there seemed to be.
a knife sticking In his leg. The doctor, who
was by this time at the patients side, went
to the drawer and, taking up the foot, found
the toes doubled back, and sticking in it a
hook-shaped instrument used in taking mp
arteries. The instrument was removed,
and the foot placed in an easy position, when
sglon declared he was free from pain and
felt quite easy indeed, soon fell into a
sound sleep. This remarkable case is net
without parallels, but the phenomenon is Of
character that, while It has been the sub
jet Of much thought and investigation, is
still d puzzler and without even an appessx-
innate satisfactory explanation.
