‘‘Was!iin-gton'’s Chair.—When
we lived in Edenton N. C., there
was ill the possession ot the Ma
sonic Lodge a splendid chair, said
to ho the one used by Gen.
’Washington when IMaster of the
’Lodge ill Alo-iaudria, Va. The
tradition is that this chair w-ns
w-iit to. Edenton, N. C., for safe
kei-iiing, at the beginning of the
revolution of 177G. It is known
to be in possession of the Eden-
toii Lodge since 1778, and the
Lodge of Virginia has twice de
manded its restoration. ^ TIio
n-atter is now being' investigated
and shonld the tradition prove
Ituie this chair-will become a val
uable addition to o"r centennial
tunilture. It is ot itselt a valua
ble relic of the past age, and a
gveat curiosit}'. We hope the
Masons in N. Cl., niay establish its
high claim to a place in our tem
ple.—Biblical liecurder.
The story of the oi-igin of the
above farm, as related many
\'ears ago, to the editor of the
Nortcith Coarier, by a gentleman
over eighty years of age, who
was an active paitlcpator in'the
scenes of the iiei'olution, is as
follows:
“When General Washington,
after being appointed cominander
of tlio army of the Uevolutionar}'
War, came to Massachusetts to
organize it and make preparations
for the defence of tlie country,
he found a great ivant of amuiii-
tion and other means necessary
to meet the powerful foe ho had
to contend with, and great dilii-.
cuity to obtain them. If attack
ed in such coi dition, the cause
at once might lie hopeless; On
one occasion, id that anxious pe
riod, a eoh.s iltati'On of the officers
and other.s was hold, -wiien; it
seemed no way could be devised-
td’mak’e'such preparation as lyas
necessary. His ILycellency, .Joii-
atlian Ti-uinbiill,’ the ehier, was
the’Goven.or of th.e State of Con-
noeticut, on .whose judgment and
aid the General placed the great
est reliance, and'remarked, ‘We
must consult Brother Jonathan
on the subject.’ ’Fi e General did
so, and tlie Governor was suc
cessful ill supplving many wants
of the anil}-. When difficulties
afterward arose, and the army
was spread over the country, it
became a by-w-orJ, ‘VYe must
consult Brotlier Jonathan.’ The
term Yankee is still applied to a
portion, but, ‘Brother Jonathan’
has now become a designation. of
the whole conn'a-y, as John Bull
has for England.’
Mr
Politeness in Jforway.
It is commonly supposed that
a rough city and cold climate aie
apt to make the inhabitants rude
in manner, and negligent ot the
rules of politeness. But Judge
Caton, who spent a summer va^
cation in Norway, and has pub
lislied an account of bis travels,
gives a oliarming picture of tne
manners of tlio Norwegians. He
thinks tliem the politest people
he has ever seen, overdowiiig
with kindness of heart, and very
thoughtful in caring for sti'aii-
Ile found them ready and
gers.
