Tliero Is occasionally n fellow citizen, and ofton they aro found anions our most reliable inon,who hosthe reputation of bolnga witch. It 1h fortunate that these honest (jentlemon did not live in the early days when Salcmltes made a practice of roasting witches alive, a process that was considered a tocuro ono, though it loft the patient much the worse for wear. Those wllchos of the Centennial year, howevor, h I in ply havo a superabundance of electricity In thoir composition and by that moans they can Indicate where volns of liv ing water aro to bo found in the earth, a fact that is almost priceless to many persons, for we know of cases whore people havo done without water for stock, at very groat disad vantage, when ono of tho so-called water witches has shown whoro walor could havo b3on procured at a very small expense The principle of the matter was oxplalned pomo years ago In tho I'atont Olllco roports as follows: that wator volns running In tho earth aro charged with oloctrlcily, and somo persons are also possessed of highly cloctri cnl temperaments. Soino kinds of woods, such as lia.ol, poach and willow are conduct ors of electricity, and when a person ol that temperament, holding a forked stick of this wood upright, passos over surfaco earth abovo whoro this wator voln coursos, the stick turns down vertically, and after exper iment to ascertain tho forco of the oloctrlj current tho portion possessing this Inlluonce can form somo ostmialo of tho forco of tho wator vein and tho depth at which it can ho struck. This explanation deprlvos such per sons of that character as wlards, and ro ducoH tho wholo thing io a simple nmttor of natural philosophy. Kocognizing with Ifamlot, that thero aro moro things In hoavon and e.irlli than are droamt of In our philosophy, wo hou no rea son to donbt that many facts exist In nature that aro noteaslly solved, and wo havo had reason, many tlmos to think this l.tct of find ing water with a Imol wand rellahlo.

Mr. ClaKgoft claims no knowledge of how tho maltor works and makes no promises iih to results; In fact ho ruthor discouraged us lrotn expecting too much, but tho water came into the woll precisely from tho direction and otherwise in tho manner designated by hint. This matter of water supply must bo very Important to many as it was In us, and wo narrato those facts as thoy couio into our personal experience for tho be no lit ol tho public, and wo will alho add undor proiost troui' our old friend Mr. Charles Claggett, who protosts against having the honors of witchcraft thrust uihiii him. lint wo consider It perfectly right and propor, even against Ills earnest protest, tooflur tho old gentleman up as a victim to science, and ho must con fess that ho cots oil' much uhoaper than ho would have boon likely to havo dono had he llvod nosr the vicinity of that.

There Is In the pos ion of a Richmond (va.) gentleman an i lent porcelain mug on which Is painted th bfilgy of Washing, ton on horseback, will bo Inscription bo nealh, "Georgo Wash! on, Esq , General-In-Chlef of the Unite Slates Army and Marshal of Franco." T latter title being ono not ordinarily undltood to belong to the father of his countrlan old letter has beon found from G. W. Irke Custls, dated In 1857, which explains lw General Wash ington came bytheFrendrank. Thehistory ofthe American Marshajof France, writes Mr. Custis, Is simply thil 'When, ln-iS'l, Col. Laurens went to Fr ict as special am bassador, a difficulty aros bitwoeu him and tho French Ministry as tie command of tho combined armies Ii merlca. Our heroic Laurens said: 'Ou olof must com mand; It is our cause, all ho battle is on our soil.' 'Cost impossiljle.exclalmod the Frenchman; 'by tho etfquehoof the French service tho Count Do Kochimeau, being an old lleutenant-coneral. ran mlv be com manded by the king in perso or a Marshal de Franco.' 'Then,' exclailed Laurens, 'make our Washington a Marechal de trance, and tho difficulty Is i an end.' It was done. A friend of mlneiosrd Wash ington spokon of as Monsieur Marechal at tho siege of Yorktown. Our bloved Wash ington never coveted or detred rank or title; but it is beyond a doubt uat, from the force of circumstances just relasd. the rank and title of Marechal de Frace was con ferred upon thoGeneral-in-ohleof tho com bined armies of America and 'ranco." To put the matter boyond disput, it may be added that Lafayette brought ter the com mission, signod by Louis XVI. which con ferred on Washington the ran. of Marshal of tho French army and Vice-Auniral ofthe French fleet. Tho wise forothojirht of tho Americans in insisting that Vashington should hold the chief commani, was after wards frequently demonstrated. ' Tin: Wasiunoton National Ionumknt. The Washington National Moiumeot So ciety is out with an appeal to tbi people for means to complete the monumen. Congress appropriated at the last session ho sum of 8200,000 to this work; but this Is enly an aid to, not a completion of, the work. The peo ple are still afforded an opporunlty to "manifest their veneration for the neat and good Washington by personal contributions to tho erection of this monumert." The presont may not bo an inappropriate tlmo to call tho atlontlou of tho people, by :ompari son, to tho character of tho mou intent now In process of completion. It will bo, when completed according to design, He tallest structure In the world. Its proposed height Is 185 feet.
