A whispered comment on the immense
size of the pew catches the ear of the
sexton. "YOu must remember, num-"
he says, solemnly, 'the General was II
very large man." At which-forgive US
venerable shade-it was impossible not
to smile. This great quadrangular

In the Masonic lodge, amid many care
fully preserved relics of the immortal
patriot, one which has only an indirect
association with him, will perhaps attract
most attention. The keys Of the Ba,tile,
sent, rs all the world knows, by Lafayette
to Washington, hangs now in this still
recess of the Western world, memorial
of such tyranny a. its happy people never
