Current Notes.

The political GibboD of our day NAV now
write the ''Rise, Decline and Fall OF Tilden-
ism." 1t is practically a complete work.
This chapter of history has substantially
closed; Mr.. Filden has gone down as rapidly
as he came up; the red glare Of the sudden
flaming rocket has expired and now it is the
dull, dead thud of the falling stick --Albany
Journal
The London Spectator has the following
word tor Schenck; "Gen. Schenck, the Amer
ian minister here, who is accused OF receiving
bribe TO promote the interests of the Em-
ma mine, will probably be acquitted by the
House OF Representatives, committee, as we
know that English gentlemen, whose names
would carry conviction Of their loyalty, have
looked carefully into all the evidence, and de-
cded that he was only imprudent or silly"
What is to be gained by abolishing the re-
quirement, by revoking the pledge, to pay
United States notes in gold in January,
1879? 1t is lowering of the flag which is
without excuse, and We certainly will not
join IN what is an attempt to induce the New
York Legislature to repeal its act of March
22 OF last year, in which our state undertook
TO establish specie payments" on January l,
1879 N. Y. World.
Gov. Rice brings to the executive chamber
the systematic habits developed in a long
mercantile career. Gov. CASTOR had the un-
methodical ways of a lawyer, Uttered desk,
and papers everywhere in confusion. His
successor can put his hand on any document
or letter in moment. All is orderly as the
counting-room of a merchant. Gov. Rice
has a faculty OF dispatching business which
Gov CASTOR had not. But Mr.. Castor had
bonhommie and debonair way which won
him many friends. He would indulge in a
social smoke all rouhd the council chamber,
and could tell as neat story as any man,

The Girl who Jnted George WashInsten.

The elder sister of Miss Mary CAD had
married George William Fairfax, at
whose house she was on a visit, when she
captiVated young man who paid her his
address. His affection, however, was.
not returned, and the of1er of his hand
was rejected by Miss Carey. The young
man afterward known TO the world as
Gen. George Washington, the first Presi-
dent of the United States OF America,
Young Washington asked permission of
Mr.. Cary to address his daughter before
he ventured TO speak TO herself. The re-
ply OF the old gentleman was, ~If that is
your business here, sir, / wish you 70
leave the house, for my daughter has
been accustomed TO ride IN her own
coach" Ii has subsequently been said
that this answer of Mr.. Cary to that strip
ling Washington produced the indepen-
dence of the United States, and laid the
foundation of the future fame of the first
of heroes and best of men-our immortal
Westinghouse it was more than proba-
Bile that, had he obtained possession of
the large fortune which it was known
Miss Cary would cary TO the altar with
her he would have passed the remainder
of his life in ingloriOus ease. 1t was an
anecdOte of the day that this lady, many
wears after she had become the wife Of
Edward Amber, happened TO be in Viii
liamsburg when Gen. Washington passed
through that city at the head ef the
American army, crowned with never
fading laurels and adored by his country
men. Having distinguished her among
the crowd, his sword waved toward her
a military salute, whereupOn she is said
to have tainted. But this wants confirm
alton, for her whole life tended to show
that she never for a moment regretted
the choice she had made. II may be add
ed, as a curious fact, that the lady Gene
raj Washington afterwards married re-
sembled Miss Cary as much as one twin
sister ever did another.
