Estimating a Trains speed.

The traveller who is curious to know
just how fast he is going, and likes the
stimulus of thinking that he is in a lit
tie danger, may lind amusement in
taking the time between mile posts;
and when these are not to be seen, he
can often get the speed very accurately
by counting the rails passed in a given
time. This may be done by listening
attentively at an open window or door.
The regular clicks of the wheels over
the rail joints can usually soon be sin
gled out from the other noises, and
counted. The number of rail lengths
passed in twenty seconds is almost ex-
actly the number of miles in an hour

A VESSEL BENEATH A HILL.-A queer
discovery has been made on the Nanticoke
River at place called Ellis's Fishing
Ground, about five miles below seaford,
Del. A vessel was dug from under hill
fifteen feet deep. Mr. Ellis, who has been
living there for forty y-three years, did not
know that the vessel was there until the re
cent winds washed the sands from under
the bill, when a part of her was discovered.
1t was at frat thought to be stump. Upon
further investigation it was found to be the
forward part of schooner. Her bottom
was hewed out and calked with something
like camel's hair. She ia put together with
pegs and without any nails. The largest
portion OF her still remains in the bank.
Che is supposed to be from 80 to 100 tons
burden. The wood is as solid as ever.

Washington as n Free Mason.

The relations of Washing'on with the an

feature in his career Before he had reach

Fredericksburg, where be then lived, and in
1852 he sought admission as q member

ed Fellowcraft.

Master Mason.
The record book is still preserved, and the
Bible OIL which he was sworn is small
quarto volume bearing date: Cambridge,
printed by John Field, Printer to the Uni
versity, 1855"
Washington was initiated few months
before he was 81, which WAS unusual II not
without precedent in this country.
During the war he and his military bretb-
rem organized lodges wherever his command
happened to be located and near where his
headquarters were at Charlestown, VIVA is
cave known to this day as "Washiogton's
Masonic Cave" In which the lodge met.
The knowledge of Wasbington's interest
in Masonry soon reached France, and the
firm of Watson & Cassoul, both of whom
were Masons, induced the nuns In convent
at Nantes to manufacture Masonic sash
and apron of the finest satin, wrought with
gold and silver tissue, on which American
and French flags were combined with var
ious Masonic emblems. all executed with
ekll and at considerable cost, which they
sent as present, accompanied by letter
expressive oftheir admiration and reverence.
The sash and apron were often worn by
Washington, and after his death they we're
presented by his legatees to Washington
Lodge, No %, at Alexandria, where they
are still preserved. In 1854 Lafayette came
again to America, and brought, as present
to Washington, handsome and costly Ma.
sonic apron of white satin, beautifully orna-
mepted with needlework of colored silk,
wrought by the hand of Nine Lafayette.
The apron, with some Masonic jewels. was
presented in highly finished rosewood box
curiously inlaid with Masonic emblems.
The apron vas presented to the Grand
Lodge of Pennsylvania, after Washingtons
death, where it may still be seen, and the
box is in possession OF the lodge In this city.
Washington became Grant Master of the
local lodge at Alexandria, and after his re-
tirement to private life often attended the
lodge, participated in it's festivals, and con.
tinued to manifest an interest in the order.
The Masonic rites we're performed at his
burial, and the relics his regalia, which
are still in the lodge, are preserved with
unabated voneration.

by his wife on Saturday afternoon in the

The affair cuused much excitement in the
neighborhood, where Mr.. Hartnett is
we'll known and popular. Mr.. Hartnett
makes the following statement:
"My wite's jealousy made her do this
thing. She is OF jealous disposition,
and became enraged when I did not re-
turn home last Friday night. / wrote
her note, telling her / could not come
Nome until Saturday night, but for some
reason this note did not reach her until
Saturday morning. SO, of course, she
did rot know where was. She became
very angry at what she supposed to be
my inideiity, and came down to the
office and used the horsewhip over my
shoulders before any of us could stop
her. We tried to keep 1t quiet, because
her temper has disgraced the whole
family"

middle age, and ia French Canadian by

is en- aunt, who lives in Boston. She has
Just returned from q whit to this aunt,

her course after she shall have passed
through her novitiate. She will build

from Philadelphia, on the New York
division OF tue Pennsylvania railroad, of

Its purpose will DO TO educate and train
sisterhood TO work among the coloYed

for come time, and the transfer is now
believed to have been made, or else is
resty 10 be made ut any moment.
The exact scopa of the institution is
not yet known, bscause the fullest details
have not yet been decided upon. As far
a. determlnad, the sisterhood is 20 train
young women OF q similar grade aud
special anding to that which MISS
DEexel occupied, and who, like her, have
resolved to devote their lives to the
church, especially missionary work.
Besides passing through novitiate OF
number Of years it Is probable that those
young Tomen who decide to 60 among the
Indians will make extended stddy in
the languages OF Indian tribes. as we'll as
fHnlilianz9 themselves with Indian char
acteristics and customs, 20 as to dc

Father Stephen has had Charge OF the
Ib6inr bureau OF the Catholic church in
Waahir gton for mSny years and Miss
Drexel has much confidence in bis jude-
ment and experience. she has given
very large sums of money every yeat to
the support OF this work in the Catholic
church, and 1t is IN this way that Father
Stephen has been chosen 10 work in the
new field.
