SETTTED IN THIS CITY. Returning to this city he became consulting engineer of the company that leased the Alex andria and Washington canal, and while thus engaged wasappointed chief engineer of the Portsmouth aes yard, where he superintended the new buildings aud repairs. Coming back to Washington in 1867 he was attached to the examining corps of the patent office until 1874. Since then he has devoted himself to the patent business and, continuing to reside in Vashingtou, has become well known as an @x- cellent and highly useful citizen. HIS MASONIC CAREER, In all his varied and busy career Mr. Single- ton has been steadily devotedto Masonry. He was initiated January 18, 184, in Naphtal lodge, No. 25, of St. Louis, and passed and raised on the 20th of the same month. His Experiences in Germany.

Basex, Switzervaxp, September 10. When we arrived in Cologne policemen of whom we inquired directions to our hotel were very curt and seemed desirous of impressing upon us that their time was too valuable to be taken up in answering our question. Then, when we sought the general delivery window at the post office to inquire for our mail, we con- stituted the minority of a group who for eight or ten minutes were obliged to await the pleas- ure of a brass-buttoned fellow inside, He had something else to do and declined to receive our cards until he bad finished doing that something else.

The morning follow- ing our arrival we arose early and before breakfast went to the Trimkhalle to hear the band play. We had no curiosity to try the water; that had been satisfied at Weisbaden. Badeuw-Baden as a watering place is rivaled in Germany only by Weisbaden. It has annually about 50,000 visitors, who, among them, manage to support the town very nicely. From Baden- Baden we entered the famous Black Forest, om the borders of which the city lies, and which in the number of its legends rivals the legend- laden Rhine. The forest spreads iteelf over @ range of high hills, the larger of which are each dignified with a name as # mountain. ‘WHEELING IN THE BLACK FOREST. For fifteen miles we followed a road winding up over one of the mountains with great moss “Do you think of anything else that is pat in cigars to make them more agreeable tor smok- ing?” asked the reporter. “No,” said the tobacconist. “Though, now I vayiber tines ie alg ~~ test things Sort one ives away to one’s friends.

Apropos of the interest excited in Masonry by the coming conclave, a conversation over- heard at the Bilson domicile the other morning is worth noting. The tamily were waiting breakfast and Mrs. Bilson led off: “Mr. Bilson, were you at the lodge last night again, that you fell up the stairs this morning at 2 a.m?” “Yes, my dear. Very late session; but isn't breakfast ready?” “And, Mr. Bilson, did you have another elec- tion, that I find some more of these red and blue buttons in your pocket?” “Yes, m’ darling, but can’t we go to break——” “Bilson, was your hat crushed and your cane broken this time also in an effort to save from being actually killed a poor fellow who had ew of the secrets of the lodge to his fe?” “Yeu, sweetest, but let's go—” “Bilson listen to me. ‘e will go to break- fast when I have finished.

Another interesting fact in the early history of the Grand lodge is that the establishment of the first meridian for the United States was due to its efforts. Ata seu DIGOING A FARM. There are about eight and a half acres in- closed in the board fence for the park and grounds. The first work accomplished was to dig out of this park a small-sized farm. A big hole equal to four acres was thus excavated for the foundation and cellars, Around the bank of this excavation a solid concrete wall, 13 feet deep and several feet broad, will run. This is the outer area wall and from it gratings will run to the main brick wall. ‘This outer protec. entirely removed, Bi @ a Ham it should be soaked twenty-four hours, After boiling draw off the skin, strew rasped broad over it and boil again four or tive hours, ‘To Ciuran Dest From Watt Paren.—Make a mop of single cotton yarn wna wipe the paper. ‘This should be done yearly.

Mr. Singleton entered Middlebury col- lege in Vermont in 1884and in the following year eraigrated west with his father's family. ‘After « brief sejourn in Elkton, Todd county, Ky., they settled permanently in St. Louis in January. 1836. There Mr. Singleton’s mot died im February. Following in the footsteps of his father be began the study and practice of neering and architecture in the spring of 1880, aud in May, 1837, furnished the success- a for the state’ house in Springfield, jubsequently he was engaged as an ineer im vurveying the Central railroad and the Iren Mountain read, and he compiled for the use of the Missouri legislature the large state map on which all the new counties and reads since that day have been laid down, In 1840 Mr. Singleton made for the state a survey of the Maramec river, with reference tu slack- water navigation. JOURNALISTIC EXPERIENCE, To save his father from financial loss on ao» count of heavy indorsements for the proprie- tors of the Evening Gazette of St. Louis, Mr. Sin- gleton became trustee for that paper, and, as editor and publisher for some time, acquired utation as @ yo writer, ‘The financial difficulties into which the paper had got could not be overcome and Mr. es ton leoked elsewhere for support, He visited Norfolk in 1844 and while there too!

Weisbaden has annually about 90,000 visitors, tourists and invalids with chronic diseases, who come to drink the waters and ut themselves to soak in the hot baths, Having nothing chronic with us but our appetites we were content with sampling the waters of the Kochenbrunnen, the principal spring, the temperature of which is 156° Fahrenheit. One glassful sufficed. We ould prefer to remain invalids ik that stuff. Recipe: One glassful of hot water; add a little salt and a sufficient uantity of brown t to give the water a tir well before taking.

No arrangements will be made for the storage of books in the upper stories or open courts. As Mr. Green expresses it, “The building will provide in a general way for the requirements of the future; but we propose to allow the men of seventy-five years hence to settle the details to suit themselves. THE PRESENT QUARTERS, While all the activity is going on at the new building Librarian Spofford is being wedged in oloser and closer at his quarters in the Capi- tol.
