Gold Nugget From the Ocean.

Captain ]. Dahl, master of the Nor.
wegian bark Handy, when discharging
timber cargo at Irvine, the other
day, had with him, says the Boston
Journal, a small nugget of gold which
he found adhering to his sounding
lead after taking soundings off the
coast of Newfoundland a few weeks
ago. Captain Dahl, who halls from
Fredrikshald, Norway, was at the time
on his way home to Dalhousie, New
Brunswick, to load his cargo. The
lead had the usual thick coating of
tallow on the end which Gomez in con.
tact with the bottom, and when hauled
in he found the tiny bit of gold, about
the size of bean, sticking to the tai
low.
At Dalhousie Captain Dahl showed
it to the merchant with whom he was
transacting business, and who, on
having it tested, found it to be pure
gold. Captain Dahl stated that be-
fore leaving he had an offer of $4,000
on condition that he would furnish
information as to his precise bearings
at the time he cast the lead, but re-
fused. He was in British waters at
the time, and will first ascertain what
the Government authorities have to
say to him on the subject. He has
reported the find to the Custom house
at Irvine, but refuses to give up the
bit of gold.

who, like Washington, was on aid to
General Braddock in the fatal Irdian
campaign.
Miss Phillipse was two years older
than Washington, having been born
at Yonkers, July 3, 1880. Her hus.
band fought on the British side during
the Revolution, and her family were
all royalists. In 177S Mrs. Morris
and her sister, Mrs. Robinson, were
accused of acting as spies for the
British, were arrested and imprisoned,
and their property was confiscated.
1t was in the Phillipse house that
Benedict Arnold was residing when he
betrayed his country, and from their
grounds he took the boat which car
ried him into the British lines when
his treachery was discovered. Nine.
Jumel, the French woman who married
Aaron Burr, afterward purchased the
estate and lived upon it.
Two years after Washington was
Tilted 10y Miss Phillipse, and when he
had just returned from Fort du
Quesne, he went to Williamsburg in
military dress attended by an orderly.
While crossing Williamss Ferry over
the Pamunky River, branch of the
York, he was accosted by venerable
gentleman named Chamberlayn, who
had learned his identity, and invited
to rest for while at his house in the
neighborhood. Washington at first
declined, as his business with the Gov
ernor at Williamsburg was urgent, but
finally consented to stop for dinner.
Having arrived at the hospitable man
sion, he was introduced to the family
and a number of guests, among them
a charming and beautiful widow who
lived near by. There was mutual
attraction, and instead of departing
Immediately after dinner Washington
remained through the afternoon, and
finally consented to pass the night
In the morning he proceeded upon his
way, and having transacted his bust
ness at Williamsburg, returned to Mr..
Chamberlayn's and spent several
days.
The beautiful widow was Martha
cambridge GUSTS, the daughter of
John cambridge, whose husband, Dan
iel Parke Oustis, died a year or so
previous, leaving her two children
aud a large fortune in lands aud
money. She was born in New Kent
County in 1872, was married at seven
teen, and when Washington first met
her was twenty-six years old, and in
the richest bloom OF womanhood. She
had fine residence at Williamsburg
-"the six chimney house" it was
called-and plantation near the city,
with 500, 600 of bonds and mortgages
in her strong box. 1t is said that the

NYnshinctnn Settling a Pnst

In the village of Southport, Conn,
is preserved piece OF cedar post
which Washington helped to.set in the
ground at Harrington. The story as
sociated with the post is told by the
Rev. A. N. Lewis in published ad-
dress.
He wss out walking with his host
when he came to a man who was plant
ing a hitching post in the ground by
the roadside. The General stopped
and said:
"My friend, can show you how to
set your post so that it will never rot. "
Taking it in his hands--those great
hands of hIs--he placed it upside down
and held it whiie the man filed up the
hole and stamped the earth around it.
1t is well-known fact that post
set bottom side mp in the ground will
not absorb water. The sap tubes will
not "draw" when the post is reversed.

The "Lowland Beauty" to whom
Washington so tenderly refers in his
letter to "My Dear Robin" is sup
posed TO have been Miss Lucy Grymes
of Westmoreland County, who in 1853
married Henry Lee, Esq.,, of STRAIT
ford Hall, and became the mother of
the famous Light Horse Harry
the Custer of the Revolution. Very
little is known of Miss Grymes or of
Washington's attention to her. Other
writers assume that the Lowland
Beauty was Miss Betsy, daughter of
William Fauntleroy OF Fredericks.
burg, who also refused Washington's
attentions.
The Fauntleroy family had fine
plantation at MAYORS Hold, on the
Rappahannock, about fifteen miles
from Wakefield, the birthplace of
Washington. In 1852, when he was
twenty years old, the latter addressed
letter to Mr.. Fauntleroy, which has
been preserved, asking permission to
make proposal of marriage to his
daughter, sin the hope" he says, "of
revocation of n former cruel sen.
tence, and see if 1 cannot find an al
teration in my favor"
This letter was written Immediately
after the return from tie voyage he
made to Barbados with his brother
Lawrence, who was in feeble health at
the time, and died soon after. So the
"cruel sentence" must have been pro-
nouueed before they sailed in Septem-
ber, 1851. The fathers reply has not
been preserved, but evidently was un-
favorable.
This was the most serious love affair
Washington ever had, except the later
one which ended in his marriage.
The young woman who Tilted him,
afterward became the wife of Thomas
Adams of Williamsburg. 1t is a ira
dition of the town that she married
for money instead of love, and re-
jeeted Washington because he had less
wealth than her other suitor. 1t is
said, too, that after he had become
famous and visited the town of Will
iamsburg as the guest of the people,
she watched from a window the tri-
umphal pageant as he passed on horse
back through the streets and tainted.
The home OF the Fauntleroys was a
magnificent mansion, which stood
within beautiful park overlooking
the river, and remained until few
years since, when it was pulled down.
To Betsy Fauntleroy was addressed
the other original poem, which reads:
Oh ye Gods why should my Poor Resistless
Heart
Stand 70 oppose thy might and Power
| AT last surrender TO Cupid's ieathered Dart
And now lays bleeding every Hour
| For her that's Pityless of my grief and woes

Professor Krafft-Ebing, who holds
the chair ON mental diseases at the
University of Vienna, Austria, intro
duced a startling novelty into one Of
his instructions q fortnight ago by
permitting a madman to lecture in his
place. The man is afflicted by periodic
attacks OF mania, during which he is
much More clever and witty than when
sane. His lecture on 'The- Mental
Condition of the Maniaes in Periodical
Attacks of Madness" was a brilliant
success. At the close of it he was
again placed in confinement.

The marriage took place ut the resi-
dence of the bride on January II,
1749-about six months after tho first
meeting-and the ceremony was fol-
lowed by n reception. Washington
was attending q session of the House
of Burgesses at Williamsburg, then
the capital of Virginia, and at Its close,
removed with his wife and her two lit
tie children to Mount Vernon.
In the following September he wrote
his cousin Richard, declining an in
vitation to visit EDgland:s
1 am now, / believe, fixed at this seat.
with I'm agreeable consort for life. And
hope to find more happiness in retirement
than ever experienced amidst n wild, bus
tling world.
The unsatisfed yearning to have
children of his own was frequently
disclosed in his diary and in letters to
friends, but Washington was de.
voted to his stepchildren, and loved to
have little "Patsy" and Nellie Custis
at his side.
