THE WASHISGT0X8. A Interesting Acronnt of the Wnnhlngton Fnmliy. Wednesday, February 22, was the 150th anniversary of the birth of Oeorpa Wftfihinpton. Old style still prevailed throughout the British em pire in ranch the greater part of the regin of Oeorqe II. (1727-CO), and did so in 1731-82, the year beginning on the 25th of March, as a rule; so that Washington was born in tho year 1731, according to the ordinary mode of fix ing years and dates and days in the old country, the images of which governed the new country to which Virginia even then the ancient dominion be longed one hundrod and fifty years ago. When the English adopted the reform in 1752, 270 years later things were properly arranged, the year being made to commence on the 1st of Jan uary, while eleven days were omitted from the calendar the 3d of Septem ber being reckoned as the 14th of Sep tember, 1752, whence tho call of so many of the intelligent men of that Tear, Give us back our eleven days 1" Washington's birthday thus was made to fall on the 22d of February, and he completed his majority on that date in 1753. He was the eldest bod, by a second marriage, of Augustine Wash ington, grandpon of John Washington who camo to America, it is supposed, in the year 1657, or thereabout say pome two hundred and twenty-four years ago. His mother was Mary Ball, Augustine's second wife, who survived her husband for more than forty-six years, as she died in August, 1769, and his death occurred in April, 1743. She lived to Bee her eldest son, become one of the most immortal of men. The Washingtons were of the English gentry, and of a very old race. It is believed that they wfjre of some note in the tenth century, long before the Con quest. It is certain that they were of established fortune in the thirteenth century, living in the north of Eng land, (Durham, a county Fabtine.) William De Hertburn was the first of them who can be considered indisputa bly historical. Exchanging bis estate for that of Wessington, he took the latter name; and he must be considered the progenitor of all the Washingtons, and thev are many. The family were of considerable distinction, and spread to many parts of England Northum berland, Yorkshire, Lancashire, War wickshire and Northamptonshire. Law rence Washington, whose father (John) is known, was mayor of Northampton in 1532, just three hundred and fty years ago. This was temp. Hon. VIII.; and in 1539 Lawrence obtained part of the spoil ef the monasteries the manor of Sulgrave. This long remained in the family, and came to be known as the Washington manor. The John ' Washington and Lawrence Washington who came to America in 1657 were great-grandsons of the first Lawrence Washington of Sulgrave; and George Washington was the great-grandson of the John Lawrence who came oyer in 1657, accompanied by his brother Lawrence. Tho pedigree is '. very re- ; spectable, even if we go no farther back than to John Washington of Warton, father of the mayor of Northampton, who probably was born under the Plantagonets, that dynasty becoming extinct in 1485. The active Washing tons of the time of the great civil wai were royalists, and some of them were persons of distinction, and fought on those fields ' " Whore the wicked cavaliers did run The clean contrary way." But the fortunes of war finally were with the Bjundbeads, and the two Drotners, jotin ana ijawrence, wno ar rived in Virginia in 1657, were politi ckl exiles, who had found it would be good for their health to leave England . General ashington, in 1792, spoke of "the usurpation of Oliver Cromwell, though he had played a part in America not unlike to that which Cromwell had performed in England. Our first Pres ident was a man of good lineage. Probably he was of the best blood of any of the Presidents, who, though of . good positions, were oftenest sons of their own works, or grandsons. Mr. Hawthorne, in his "English Note- Books, writes concerning his jour ney from Newcastle to York, in 1856 : " All I remember of this tract of country is that one of the statiopi at which we stopped for an in stant is called Washington, and this is no doubt the old family palace where the De Wessingtons, afterward the 'Washingtons,' were first settled in England." There is a parish of Wash mgton in Durham, and a township of Washington in that parish; and a par ish of Washington in Sussex and in Derby there is a township of Wessing ton or Washington in the parish of Orich. There is ahamlet of Wtsseington or V estmgton in the parish of Campden Chipping, Gloucester. Thus the name is somewhat common in widely-separ ated English shires, though it does not appear to be borne by any place of note. The title of Wellington is derived from the parish and market town of Welling ton, in Somersetshire, which is not large place. But little is known of the Northern Wessingtons, but we can easily believe that they were all alive and active, and that thev cut Scottish throat, or had their throats cut by Scottihmen, in the old Percy and Douglas wars, five hundred years ago, or more or less. Such were the Ken' tlcmanly amusements of those vauished days, diversified by hunting and hawk ing, and other cruel sports. It was the Weasingtons who "went south," and spread the name of the race over the midland counties of England, and who prepared the way for the Washingtons that crossed the ocean, and founded the thriving family from which proceeded the man who was to found the American nation. As George Washington was the real oreator of this republio, how different might have been this country'i history haa his great grandfather ie rutiiiied in England and shared in the joy over that restoration of the Stewarts which took plaoe in lbbi). , " Cun t you trust me, darling?" mur mured Bpilkius to the daughter of old Moneylender.

Next to the diamond the ruby is one of tho most remarkable stones for the exhibition of phosphorescence under electricity. A road locomotive for war purposes was lately tried in Germany before Count Moltke. It weighed twenty eight and three quarter tons and drew easily forty tons weight of guns mounted on their carriages fully equipped. Its maximum traction power is 150 tons, and its cost of maintenance is about fifty cents an hour. The effect of lightning on trees near a telegraph wire is thus described by a French Bavant. The line under obser vation runs east and west. Of the pop lars bordering the road, those on the north side suffered most, those on the other side being rarely struck. Eighty out of 500 treeB were destroyed. The instances multiplied with increased el evation, and in the plateau at the high est point of land, reached the maxi mum. The injury was mostly oppo site and under the level of the wires. It is supposed that while the wire is strongly electrified by induction, the lightning does not strike it, but strikes the neighboring poplars directly, which, wet with rain, afford an easier passage for the electric fluid to the ground. The impression that the northeastern coast of the American continent is slowly rising the estimate of the rate of emergency in progress being over a foot, and perhaps as much as three feet, in a century has recently been contro verted by eminent soientiflo authori ties, including Dr. Mitchel, of the coast survey, who states that the salt marshes are still, as they were in the time of the early explorers, at ordinary high water level, and that the recks on our coast, long notorious as dangerous to navigation, have not risen since they were first discovered. But east ward of I&ngitude sixty-four degrees thirteen minutes, and especially in Newfoundland, great changes present themselves, the depth appearing to be at some points less and at other points greater than formerly. The most extensive application of electricity to engineering ever made will be the plan of Mr. Maxim, of New York, for the basin around the city of Mexico, to do which a company has been formed, the funds raised, and the contract signed. The plan, in brief, is to establish on the western slope of the mountains, where the fall is great and rapid, a number of water-wheels sufficient to develop some 20,000 horse power, and make them drive dynamo- electric machines of high electro-motive power.1 The current from these machines is to be conducted about twenty miles to a set of electrio motors placed on the margin of the lake, and driving-pumps, which wilt require about 7,000 horse power to work them. The water has to be raised about forty feet to clear the ridge, but once raised it has an uninterrupted .ill toward the Pacific of several tho cmd feet, bo that the descending water is made to keep up the work. The whole apparatus constitutes what Mr. Maxim calls an " electric siphon." The plan will, it is believed, succeed, and thus relieve Mexico from the inundations that have damaged it so much for several cen turies. Wolves in a Church. While the inhabitants of the Spanish village Unarre were attending a cele bration of midnight mass in theii parish church, a terrible surprise waa awaiting them outside the sacred edi fice. During the service a paok ol hungry wolves had gathered round the church doors, and when these were thrown open to let the congregation out, the ferocious brutes, stimulated by famine to an unusual display of audacity, made a desperate onslaught upon the crowd. According to an eye witness an indescribable panio ensued. Men and women alike, screaming for aid, strove to escape from their Bavage assailants; several, while strug gling frantically to reach the doorway, fell down and found themselves at the mercy of the famished wolves. The only man who displayed any presenoe oi mina was tne sacristan, who con trived to clamber into the pulpit, and thence imitated the barking of a dog so effectively that the invaders took fright and fled, but not before they had killed three of their victims and mangled five more so horribly that they were not expected to recover at the time when this tragical affair was published in the Spanish papers. Meas urea have been taken somewhat late in the daif as is generally the case in tiie Peninsula by the local authorities for the extirpation of wolves through out the distriots at present infested br inose cunning ana sanguinary car nivora.

A Woman's Mlrnnilon" Escape. One of tho moot singnlar adventures and wonderful escnpes from death ever recorded took place in this city Satur day morning. At that time Mrs. Peter Anderson, who lives in the vicinity of the Half-Way houso, and who had been uptown, was returning to her home. She had to cross the railroad. Just then a Chicago, Burlington and Qnincy train was coming, and Bhe stepped back on the Chicago, Rock Island and Paoi&o track to allow the train to pass, not noticing that at the same time a train was backing down toward her on the Chicago Bock Island and Pacific road. The latter train Btruck her before she was aware of its coming, and knocked her down, sue falling immediately between the rails. The train came on, and the cars passed over her prostrate liody, the brakes and trucks striking 1M- succes sive hard thumps. The locomotive was the last to reach her4 and its fire-box, coming very near the ground, pushed and rolled her along the track for some distanoe. Fortunately a cattle guard was near, and when the reached it the fire-box forced her between tho ties into the guard, and the locomotive passed on. These ties are close together, and it is not understood how she could have been forced between them without kill ing her, but the fact remains. She was picked up and attended by Dr. Sloan, who at first thought she was dangerously hurt. Her skull had sus tained a Blight fracture, and the flesh had been torn from her body in Beveral places. Her shoes and stockings had also been ripped off. Subsequent ex amination, however, proved that her wounds are not fatal and with proper care she can recover. She is a young woman and has been only recently mar ried. She owes her life to a fortunate combination of circumstances and to the fact that she is not a very large woman. After one has been through such an ordeal as that there need not be much fear of death from accident. At the last report she was doing very well. Davenport la.) Democrat. A Railroad Official Interviewed. Not every one so cheerfully communi catfs his knowhdge and opinions as recent ly did E L. Loweree, E-mj., cnaliier of the Cincinnati Southern Railway, that splendid outlet to the South from the Ohio. Our representative waited upon Mr. Loweree, and in reply to certain questions the latter gentleman observed: "I was suffering from a very severe attack of rheumatism in my right foot; it was in a terrible condition; the pain waa almost intolerable; our family physician waited on me without success; I sent for another well-known M. D., but even the twain could do nothing for me; I could not get down here to the office to attend to my duties; in fact I could not put my foot under me at all, and after nine weeks suffering I began to grow desperate. My friend (whom, of course you know, for he is known by everybody), Mr. btacey mil, ol the Mount Auburn Inclined i'iaoe Kail road Company, called to see me; he spoke very highly ol ht. Jacobs Oil, and recom mended the remedy to me in glowing terms. I laughed at the idea of using a proprietary medicine, and yet the party recommending it, (Mr. Stacey Hill, remember), being a man ol Bound judgment, se; me to thinking the matter over. The next day, when the physicians called, I dimnisped them, and said to myself that I would let nature take its course, lit at resolution lasted lust a day. On the following morning I, in a fit of desperation, Bent a servant lor a bottle ot at.

The next morning the pain had entirely left my foot, the swelling was reduced, and really the appearance was so different alto gether from the day before that it actually surprised me. I applied more of the St. Jacobs Oil, and that afternoon I walked down here to the othce, and was able to attend to my duties and get around as well as any one. L&1 me say lor fct.

It was told the roporter that Mrs. Quabaoh, a lady residing at No. 109 Fourth place, was a regular devotoo at tho shrino of St. Jacob. Upon being interviewed, Mrs. Quabaoh stated that she was subject to frequent attacks of headaches, and usod the St. Jacobs Oil with great satisfaction.
