A Historic Quilt.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
    A quilt made in Holland 350 years ago, which probably covered the father of his country during the stirring scenes of the revolution, is now in the possession of Mrs. L. B. C. Brundige. The quilt came originally from Holland and is in a fine state of preservation. The design takes the shape of various flowers. It has been handed down from generation to generation, and was in the home of Gen. Cornelius Wynkoop when he entertained Gen. Washington in 1783.
