Mark Twain on Babies,

Among the orators at the banquet of the
Army of the Tennessee was Mark Twain.
The sentiment to which he was called upon
to respond was Babies" He began by
saying that as babies comfort us in our sor.
row, we should not forget them in our fes.
tivities.
Fifty years hence we shall all be dead"
graVely said the numerous Mark, and then
our flag, if it still survives-and let US hope
1t may-will be floating over republic
numbering 200,000,000. According to the
settled laws ofincrease, our present schooner
OF State will have grown into a political
leviathan Great Eastern, and the graded
babies of to-day will be on deck. Let them
be we'll trained, for we are going to leave a
big contract on their hands Among the
three or four million cradles now rocking in
this land are some which the nation would

know what ones they are. In one of these
cradles an unconscious Farragut of the

another a future President is busying him.

than that of what the mischief has become

office seekers getting ready to furnish him

problem second time. And still in one

Professor Proctor, the astronomer, holds
strongly to the opinion that the Great
Pyramid was built for astronomical pur-
poses, and he advances some facts (by no
means novel; which must be regarded as
either conclusive of that theory or as coin.
cidences which are more wonderful than
the theory itself. For example, the exact
level of its base, its great stability, the
horizontal and other definite lines favora-
BILE to the observation of heavenly bodies,
constitute important considerations but,
what is more remarkable, the sides of the
Pyramid are true north and south, east and
west, and it is located on the exact latitude
which makes the altitude of the pole star
one-third of the way to the zenith, and the
altitude of the sun two.thirds of the way
to the zenith, at the spring equinox. These
conditions would enable the observer TO
make calculations by the use of large
angles, without logarithms. The professor
is inclined to think that the Great Pyramid
was built about $500 years before Christ.
1t is 1862 feet on each edge at the base, and
according to Herodotus fresh set of 100000
men was employed every three months in
building the two pyramids.

Methodist History on the Peninsula.

Mr.. Freeborn Garrettson was piloted into
Dover by Mr.. Wheeler, the father of Miss
Nancy Wheeler of this place, whom many
OF our old citizens remember. A crowd
! collected around them, and some said he
was one of Coughs men and ought to be
hung. CLANCY Clough was a tory, and he
| and his followers had their head quarters at
| Bombay Hook. Col Pope of this place
| undertook TO rout them, and succeeded by
setting tire to the woods and other com.
| oustlbleS. Thus the tories, who were a
terror to the neighborhood, and in league
with our enemies, the British. were dis.
lodged from the Island. Clough, with his
men numbering about three hundred, en-
deavored to reach the British Fleet on the
Chesapeake Bay. On their way thither
they stopped in Kenton Forest, where they
were pursued and dispersed. Their leader
was taken prisoner to Dover, tried and
condemned, and suffered the penalty of
the law.

po'0ertW sermon that brought conviction to
the hearts of his hearers. He was a fine
looking man, with strong masculine voice
that could be heard all over Dover. Some
that did not go to hear him preach, were
powerfully convinced at their homes. In
the evening he held meeting at Mr.. Smith
srs's, with whom he stayed There were
about twenty-five persons brought under
deep conviction for sin as the result of this
first visit of Mr.. Garrettson, and the next
day, the 18th of September, 177S. he
formed those who were truly awakened
into Society. One elderly lady, with all
her children, numbering ten, with their hus-
bands and wives, amounting to sixteen or
eighteen, went with the Methodists."
In October he went to Broad Creek, in
the lower end of Sussex. He preached in
forest on Sabbath day two sermons.
