the Lady Who Discarded Washington, Bishop IMeutlc, in tils "Old Church es and I-'iunilles of Virginia," relates the following: Tho elder sMer of MM Mary Cury had married Oeore Will iam Fairfax, ut who?o Ii'jiim? she was on u viilr, when she captivated u young lnnii who paid her his address. IIW affection, however, was not returned, and the offer of his iiand was rejected by Miss Cnry. This young man was afterwards known to the world as (ien oral George Washington, the tlr-t President of the L'nited States of America. Voting Washington asked ptrmis-iou of old Mr. Cury to address his daughter before he ventured to speak to her.-elf. The reply of the old gentleman was: "Jf that 1 your hu-i-ness here, sir, 1 wish you to leave the house, for my daughter has heen ac customed to ride in her own coach." It has subsequently been si id that this answer of .Mr. Cnry to the stripling Washington produced the indepen dence ot the United States, and laid the foundation of the future fame of the first of heroes and the be.-t of men our Immortal Washington as it was more than probablo that, hud he obtained possession of a largo fortune which it was known Miss Cary would carry to the altar with her. he would have passed tliG remainder of ids life in In glorious ease. It was an anecdote of tho day that this lady, many years at lor sho had become the wife of Kdwiirtl Ambler, happened to be in William burg when General Washington pass ed through that city at the head of tho American army, crowned with never fading laurels and adored by his coun trymen. Having distinguished her among tho crowd, his sword waved toward her a military salute, where upon she is said to have fainted. Hut tills wants confirmation, for her whole life tended to show that she never for si moment regretted tho choiccMie had made. It may be added as a curious fact, that tho lady General Washing ton afterwards married resembled Miss Cnry as much as ono twin-sister ever did another. KlMTOKlAI, I'UL'TKItY. OtlO of OUr &tato exchanges, which we rogret we luivo mislaid, comes to us with a vigor ous denunciation of tho prevailing sys- tum ot iniliserimliuito newspaper pull ing, declaring it tho crying sin of our rofosiou, and maintaining that until Jt is utterly abolished journalism can never attain its true dignity and de serts. Every word gospel. Brethren in rag-and-lampblack bonds, arise and oliake yourselves. Brush off the dust of vile abjection in which too many of you have lain. Cease rawnlng around tho upst.u-ts of luck, wealth, or power. Lay aside tho whole twaddling, lying vocabulary of brilliant and eloquent, powerful, polished, irreproachably up Tight, noble, and patriotic, as applied to tho frothy har.uiguo or tho besotted carcass and eharactor of every tenth rate, piddling, scoundrelly pot-house shyster and dead-beat this, that, or tho other political party may ohanco to stick up lor governor, legislator, con gressman, dog-pelter, or any other position of averago dichonorand theiv age. Stop blowing littlo cross-roads Jjcklegs into montal and moral Ana Jrims beside whom Demosthenes and Cicero, Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Wash ington and Napoleon, all molted into one, would dwindle to a pigmy less than tho lleas that crawl over Tom Thumb's b.iby. Stop puffing igno ramus pulpit-stampers, bible-maulers, and ranters, with neither piety, grace, nor common-sense, into Augustiues, Calvins, and Whitllolds. Tell tho truth and shanio tho olllco ot Heclzcbuh. Pay for what you get. Demand and exact pay for what you do.. Wear no perpetual dog collar. Be independent. .Support no scoundrel or scoiunlrelinni, -no matter what party endorses him or jit. Bo Jui t, honest, fearless, and free. :Stnnd loguthor, shoulder to shoulder and heart to heart, an invincible and !irrosistiblej)halanx, in everything that .concerns tha welfare of yourown glori ous fraternity. And the iiowspaperial .millennium will be near at hand. And nil editor may ere long be as respectn bio as a peanut-peddler. lUth'.ujk (X. t) Sentinel. Thero was a vory funny cene this afternoon in tho swearing in of Finley, tho uccussful contestant fur tho seat occupied by Wtitts, colored, of Miss. FJnloy is a fat, good natured man. who anno foward smiling when the House decided by its vote that ho wasntitled to tho seat held l.y Watts, lie advan ced before tho spcakor's desk and rais ed his hand as Korr U'gan to adminis ter the oatli. Ih'Ki K jrr niaiic a funny Mistake.

About tlit'so days it JtehtKWps fair mltidod and candid men whoarenverso to a rash indor-meiit ofuliVtlio charges against high olllclals which are so rife, to boar In niliid that we am on the eve ef a Presidential election.

Considered from a mechjinlcal point of view, the merit of Gutenberg's in vention nny be inferred from its per innni.iipv. Itix tvDP-mold was not mi.mlv the first: it'is the only uractieal mechanism tor making type. For! more titan lour ntinureii year- mis mold has boon under critical examina tion, and many attempt have been , made to supplant it. Contrivances have, been introduced for casting fifty or; more types at one operation; for swag ing type-, like nail, out of cold metal; for stamping types, 'from cylindrical steel die upon the ends of copper rods; but experience has shown that these, and other inventions in the Held of tvpe-inaking machinery are not better , method of making type. There is no better method than Gutenberg'. , Modern tyne-castiiiir machine have ..,.1U iiMiii.lmil in Ilir. 111 whlcli ore m (i ri' exact and more carefully llnNhed, and which have many little attachment of u-liii.li Cntoiibnrfr never dre.imed. but in principle and In all the more impor - taut featuie-, the modem molds may lu I'PL'ardi'd as the moUNofGittenberg.

A certainly as terretrid revolutions continue, In the coure of lO.OUO years, says a writer in the I'opiUur Science jfuhirti for April, thero iiiut come an entire reversal of polar conditions. The Southern waters must be drained otl'to make the oceans of an opposite hemi sphere. New lands, enriched with the sediment of a hundred centurie, will rise up to evtcud the borders of the old South continent, and ' Islands joining together will expand Into mainlands. At the amo time tho Northern must be in great part submerged, and their summits and ranges become the bleak Islands and the bold headlstids of a tempestuous ocean. Central Aia. with its broad tabic lands, may still retain the name of a continent; but beyond a few ontlying islands thero will be no Furopeand but littleof North America left. The Atlantic water will stand live hundred feet over Itko Superior, and will wash the base of tho Itocky Mountains in all their length. A new gulf stream may again, as it must often have done before, How up tho valley of the Mississippi, returning the deltas to tho prairies, and remaking tho beds of tne garden or tne worm. xnee aro no idle or impossible fancies. Not only are they the results of rigorous calcula tion, but they accord peifectly with tho unmistakable evidence which the ocean lias left all over our land, of its recent work and presence Tin: Patuoxs and tin: Ckxtk.v nai.. It turns out that tho arrange ments inaugurated by the Patron of Husbandry for th.elr Ctentciintat-IJii'' campmeut will furnish almost the only plan yet proposed for visiting the great Exposition with any degree of economy or comfort. The rates to and from the ground only 15 cents both ways or 10 cents one way, are much lower than any other arrangement propoes, and tho chargo of 50 cents for lodging and 50 cents for each meal is fully fifty per cent cheaper than that proposed in the city. A Philadelphia correspondent writes: The Patrons may havo hayeed in tneir lock, but they certainly have brains under their hair. When the Patrons of Pcniiyinauia met in solemn State Convention and discussed the question of accommodation and price within the city, they came to the con clusion that things were likely to be dearer than would suit either the pock ets or the wishes of a trueagriculturist. It may lo observed that the farmer in all tho land holds on to his !monoy with an exceedingly hard grip, because lie really earns it ny tne sweat oi nis brow.Jlttral AVtr Yorker. SAl'JHil'AltDs TO PllOIi:UTY OWX- kiw. A novel suggestion is made in behalf of the tire Insurance companle and proporty owners that thero shall be u fire coroner elected or apK)inted In every county whoso duty it shall be to hold an Inouest in every case of fire occurring within his county. Tho plan It is claimed, would have tho following excellent results: Kvcry lire would be Investigated and much valuable light wouldno thrown upon the origin of fires generally; and the honest man, as well as the timid man, by having tho facts developed, would bo relieved from auspicious; while the would-bo incen diary, knowing that his fire would be otlicJtilly investigated, would bo deter red from committing tho crime. The objectloiw which exists now against an otlicial Investigation on account of tho sjispiclan it carries with it would not exist under tho plan suggested, le cause all would bo served alike.

Furthermore, we havo agents in every section of the country, to whom we ship our produce, and from them we receive forty to fifty per cent, moro than we used to receive from lo cal buyers. In consequence of these agents, we aro bound by the tics of brotherhood and many heavy bond Tho 1'atrons of Husbandry saved in I 187, $o,0l)0,000; in 1871, $lL',000,Of)0, and iwiTirllncr ti nrmnnt imliioiliiiK ii-ill nunrmng to present imiic.it lims will Hiivn lit Inimt. .'S'JO.nO ).() I in IST.i.

When one of father's busi ness friends drives into tho yard at about half past eleven, the good wife knows he will turely stay to dinner. Father is a great story teller, and ho likes to get hold of a new auditor. How aptly comes a frown of dNmay and displeavure on the .smooth, fair face of his helpmeet. What cm be done'.' Work is going on according to the day's plan in the kitchen; the din ner was arranged for none but the fam ily; the children are coming home from .school and making a clatter; all is bustle and confusion. She feel that tho best dishes mut be used, aud .something extra cooked for inoppor tune guests. Now, good woman, don't do it. Your tine dinner, with atten dant irritation and 'upsetting," will tnte no better than what you had pre pared. Make no diHtireuce in your plans7mrteiu;,'oirrrvlsltor wit If "a smile and easy greeting at your liopi table board; and he will feel moro com fortable and happy than though you g.is'e him a banquet. You save tem per and trouble, and gain the enjoy ment or giving your triend a real cosy time. A sensible person knows that farmers do not have six courses upon their table daily, and the whole some, hearty fare, with good nature and ho.pItable'cnrdiality, will be tinc tured with a sweet, domestic sene, that Is inevitably lost in grand dinner. Smile and neatness are sauce for homely meals. (.ioklen little. IlKijiaiorti LinniiTY ix Spain. The announcement that the Spanish Cortes lias adopted tne clause lu tne newt on stitution providing for full religious toleration by a vote 'of 20 against SI, is most encouraging piece ot news irom the land of the olive and vine for many a day. It is not only a great advance to havo secured relisrious liberty, but i is a significant fact that it should have been secured by such an overwhelm ing majority. The Vatican will per haps now perceive that the time has passed when it would have been possi ble to bind Spain through tho weak ness or bigotry of her sovereign. Even had tho younir kirn: been infatuated enough to have yielded to the demands ot the l'ope in this regard, tho recent action of tho Cortes shows that ho would have lost his throne by tho concession. nnd perhaps precipitated a republic. i lie deieat ol Home is the most impor tant progressive movement that bium has made, and if tho Cortes evinco equal firmness and wisdom in framing tho rest of the Constitution, it may bo hoped thafthe country will take a new aud healthy departure, and in time re gain its lost position among the nations ol Christendom. A Philadelphia paper says: "Kvery civilized nation of tho world will take part in the Centennial Exposition. The Uiimnussion nave aeiermuicu to cioso it on the Sabbath" that is, on Sunday, the Sabbath of the Christian. If they cloo it on the Sabbath of every nation represented there and why should tho nations be shocked in their moral sense by a failure to do so? it will always be closed. For tho GreektUhey will closo it on Monday; for the Persians on Tues day; for the Assyrians on Wednesday; for the Egyptians on Thursday: for the Turks, the Arabs, and all Mohamme dan nations on Friday: for the Jews ami Soventh-day baptists nn Saturday: ami for Christiana they win close u on sunctiy.
