But there ' ’ n W wns onothor kind <— \JaJN Washington in r ,.„ the President’s house at PhiladelTr “ ir phia. During the whole of his administration, exciting and difficult as it was, he was obliged to pay close attention to his estate, and to regulate countless details of its management. He carried it in his mind day by day, considering carefully, not merely . every farm and every slave, but every field, building, fence, hedge and forest. He regulated the rotation of the crops, ( and fixed the time of plowing. He thought of all and governod all as if he had been at home. The chief reason of this was that he was served by slaves, nearly 500 in number, of whom he wrote that he knew scarcely one on his estate fit to be . trusted. He was obliged to run a mill, as well for his neighbors’ use as his own, writes James Parton in the Youth's Companion, and he had on the shore of the Potomac a fishing station that required careful | attention. A little neglect of his fishermen in the spring, when the fish were ascending the river, might deprive him of a hundred barrels of fish, on which he depended for varying the food of the Six hundred persons directly dependent upon him* for the supply of all their ' wants and the gratification of all their desires, food, clothes, shelter, medicine, instruction, discipline and recreation. Much that they wore, and nearly all that they ate, was raised upon the estate, but several articles of prime necessity had to be procured in London. Occasionally during his Presidency his knowledge of European politics and of the probability of war enabled him to provide in time for the clothing of his numerous and helpless family. We have a whole volume, and a large volume, too, of his letters to his manager, in which we see him buying thousands of yards of material for summer slothes months before it could be wanted; and nearly every garment worn upon the estate had to be out and made by his own negroes. He frequently says that no one could manage negroes unices he had had much experience with them, and he gives his manager a good deal of instruction how to teU whether a negro was shamming sick. There was a certain Betty Davis, whom he frequently suspected of shamming. He reminds his manager that nobody can be very sick without having a fever, and that nobody can have a fever long without reducing his strength and flesh. Some of his people, he said, would lie idle for a month without losing an ounce of flesh, and drawing their allowance of provisions as if nothing were the matter. Several of these he mentioned by name, “Doll at the Ferry," “Ditcher Charles," “Mulatto Will" and “Carter Ben." 1 At the same time he cautioned his manager to take the best possible care of the negroes when they were really unfit for work.. What mlthe this all the more aggravating was that he was himself the most orderly, punctual, exact and faithful of men. There whs nothing that gave him such pleasure, as he himself remarked, as “to see his farms in good order and everything trim, handsome and thriving about them." To this he added: “Nothing hurts me more than to find them otherwise, and the tools and implements lying wherever they were last used, exposed to injuries from rain and sun." He would gladly have had his whole estate in as perfect order as an estate in England, and we may say that he spent the chief energies of his life in a ceaseless endeavor to bring it a little nearer the correct standard. Considering all these things, he was a wonderfully considerate and patient master. He knew what was to be expected from ignorant negroes, and governed himself accordingly; making fair allowance for their weakness, but firmly holding them to their duty, ate well for their sakes as his own. The care and thought which he bestowed upon his farms during the most critical period of his administration, while Congress was in session, and questions involving peace or war were Sending, were most extraordinary. He isisted upon having a detailed report every week from his manager and from each of his overseers, which he thoroughly weighed and punctually answered. Some of his letters to his manager fill as many as twelve pages of an octavo volume. He gives the most minute directions concerning fences, sheds, and small repairs, as well as to more important concerns. In one letter he says: “Several of the large stone jugs, which were sent to the different farms with spirits In them at harvest, have never yet been returned. Call upon the several overseers to give them in immediately, or they will have to pay for them." These letters present to us the picture of a wise and orderly man striving patiently to get order, beauty and prosperity from the most discordant and intractable elements—slack and dissolute overseers, thoughtless and pleasure-loving negroes, thieving neighbors, bad systems of agriculture, a low tone of morals, and the absence for long periods of the master’s eye. He did the best that was possible for himself and for his servants, but he hated the system, and lamented all his days that he could not escape from it, nor let his slaves escape without doing more harm than good. "’ "J Bls First Cue. When City Attorney James Butler was first admitted to practice, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, the first case ■ he got was in a Justice’s court, and unexpectedly tho young attorney found his father, the Hon. Edward Butler, summoned as a witness by the other side. The case proceeded, and the father was ’ catfetl to the stand. His palpitating son took him for examination. “What’syour name?" “Edward Butler." “Live in St. Louis?” “Yes." “Are .you “Well, if I wasn’t, you’d be ln<a great fix." That lost the boy his case. Bow They Dressed at the Inauguration. When Gen. Washington was inaugurated at Federal Hall, Standing in tho balcony, he wore a suit of brown cloth, coat, waistcoat and breeches, white silk

the Vice President, was in similar garb, and he wore a wig. Chancellor Livingston, who administered the oath, was In a suit of black. The company of grenadiers in attendance, who were the tallest youths In the city, were dressed In blue, with red facings and gold lace i ornaments, cooked huts with white feathers, white vests and breeches, i black shoes and gaiters, the cloth of which extended from the shoe to the knee. Tho German company present wore blue courts, yellow vests and breeches, black gaiters, and tall cups faced with black bear-skin. i DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. I•’ ’ ' A Bit of History that is Just Now Appropriate. In Phila4elphia, in Chestnut street, stands tho famous building now known as Independence Hall, which used to be called the State House. This edifice is one of the shrines of American patriotism, for it was in one of its low-roofed, quaint old rooms that the Declaration of Independence, which made of the United States a nation, was debated i and decided. In the month of May, 1775, the Second Continental Congress, which had the , authority of a general government over the colonies, met in Philadelphia. Lexington and Concord had been fought tho previous April. In June Congress chose as Commander-in-chief of the American army George Washington, who was S resent as a delegate from Virginia. Seting out for Boston in tho latter part of , that month, he beard of the battle of Bunker Hill on his way. Thus there was war. But though the colonies were in arms, they were so not for separation from the British Government, but for their rights under that

government. To a large portion of the American people the idea of a final separation from Englund wa at this time distasteful. Even after months of figuring they clung to the hope of a friendly settlement of differences. Franklin was an ardent advocate of reconciliation, and so was Washington, who at a later period wrote; “When I took command of the army I abhorred the idea of independence." In revolutions things move rapidly, and all this fine feeling of loyalty was soon to be swept away. When the Americans saw their respectful petitions to the British Government treated with : disdain,'and fleets and armies sent to compel them to submit to unjust laws, their eyes were opened to the fact that ' submission was slavery. Washington, [ who, in July, 1776, had "abhorred indei pendence,” wrote less than a year afterward, "Reconciliation with Great Britain is now Impossible, and I am fully con--1 vlnced that nothing but independence ! will save us.” ' Os course this feeling among the peo- [ pie soon found voice in Congress. On i the 7th of June Richard Henry Lee, one of the delegates from Virginia, offered a ' r resolution “that these united colonies . are, and of right ought to be, free and ' independent states. This resolution was ’ at once seconded by John Adams of Mas-aachusetts-'-"glorious old John Adams," ’ as he was afterward called. When, however, a vote was taken it was seen that Congress was not yet pre- ' pared for a measure so decisive. Seven ' of the thirteen colonies voted for the 1 resolution and sii voted against it. As greater unanimity than this was neces--1 sary, it was agreed that the matter 1 should stand over for two or three weeks. j 1 In the meanwhile it was thought the people of the (colonies would show whether they wire ready for independence or not. Aid show it very clearly ’ they did. Befor i the end of a month the people of ev iry colony but one had either held meltings and voted that ' they wished foi independence or else had instructed heir delegates to vote for it. During the time of delay Congress ; had appointed aloommittee to draw up a . declaration of im pendence, for It was thought very inaortant that Lee’s resolution should baprefaeed by a preamble i setting forth the reasons that led Congress to adopt ttio measure. ■ The committee consisted of Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, John idams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Fratklin of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman of Connecticut, and i Robert R. Livisgston of New York. Jes--1 fer son, though! a young man—then 33 years of age—was known as a very able man, and, as Jlhn Adams tells us, “had • the reputation*,! a masterly pen.” Aoi cordingly he v»s requested by the comi mittee, after Discussing the topics, to mgke' a draft ks a declaration of inde- ; pendence. Ima few days Jefferson was able to lay bemre the committee a document which pioved that he had indeed a “masterly pern” This was the immortal i Declaration of Independence, the most i famous political paper ever written. , With the excition of two or three ver- , bal changes suggested by Franklin and i Adams (whilli may be seen in their handwriting <fc the original document), the Declaration' was adopted by the , committee jult as Jefferson had written It, and on the 28th of June itwos pre- . sented to Congress. On the 2d lot July the resolution to declare the cblonles independent, which ; had been introduced by Richard Henry Lee, the lifedong friend of Washington, was adopted [by Congress. The dlscusklon was long and animated, some being [timid or opposed, and the i debate continued until July 4, when news came that a large British force : under Gen. towo had arrived at the entrance of New York harbor, which turned the scale, and at 2 o’clock on that after- , noon the final vote was taken with the

States. By this solemn act the English colonies had ceased to exist and a new nation was born. The Declaration was signed on the day of its adoption by every member present who voted for it. John Hancock, whose name headed all tho others, said: “We must be unanimous; there must be no pulling different ways; wo must* all hang together.” "Yes," said Franklin, “we must all hang together, or we shall all hang separately. . Everywhere tho Declaration was hailed with joy. It was read to the army amid exulting shouts. It gave them tho inspiration of a groat cause, apd sustained them in the dark days of that long, revolutionary struggle, until that which was declared in Independence Hall in 1778 was gloriously achieved by Washington in 1783—tho liberty of our land. THE TRIUMPH OF TEA. All Nations Drink tho Cheerful Herb, but In Different Ways. At the present day tho manner of the world’s toa-drinklng may be rapidly surveyed and briefly summarized. The Chinese and Japanese enjoy the decoction of the herb just as their forefathers have done for numbered generations. The Anglo-Indians have their early cup of tea with a thin slice of bread and butter, the snack being known as the “chota hazri," at five or six in the morning, a good two or three hours before breakfast, at which last-named meal tea may vie with coffee as a beverage; and again, in Anglo-Indian society, tho kettledrum, or five o'clock meal, takes a conspicuous place. European Russians of the cultured classes drink immoderate quantities of tea in tumblers, without sugar or milk, but with the zest of a slice of lemon-

> peel, at all hours of the day. Among the ■ peasantry and the artisans the coarser s kind of black tea is extensively patron- • lied. ’ South of Moscow, “brick tea"—that > is to say, the inferior leaves of the , plant, mixed with sheep’s blood, and ' pressed into the form of cubes —is the I ordinary drink of the common peonle, • and holds its own with vodka and qvas. The Tartars swill a horrible gruel, , thick and slab, of “brick tea,” suet, salt, i peeper, and sugar, boiled in a caul- ■ dron. > The Turks and Greeks, nationally i speaking, know nothing of tea. Nor is > it a very recognizable quantity in the , dietary of the Latin races, the Spaniards t preferring chocolate and the Italians , black coffee. The Germans are moderately fond of tea, but they like coffee better, and beer i best. In Paris the use of tea is generally ! confined to polite society, and scarcely enters enters into the economy of “la • ' vie bourgeoise.” It is among the Angloi Saxon peoples that the consumption of > tea is most systematic and most exteai sivo. —- > The Australians are essentially a teal drinking people. There cannot, indeed, i be the slightest doubt that the cause of temperance both in Australia and the ’ United’States has been materially advanced by the prevalence of tea-drink- ■ Ing, and if our kinsmen beyond the Atlantic or on the shores of the Pacific really suffer from dyspepsia, it is pos1 Bible that their tendency to indigestion ■ springs much less from their custom of tea-imbibing than from their habit of ’ eating beefsteaks and mutton-chops for 1 broakfast. As regards England and America, it is hard to see that the consumption of teals immoderate, that it has injured the health of the community,-or that it has diminished the native grace and dignity of English women. Envy, malice, and all uncharitableness are much more con-' duoive to indigestion than five o’clock, 1 tea. Strength in Union. A St. Bernard dog became involved in a quarrel with two curs at Bth and Shipley streets, Wilmington, Del., the other, day. The curs snapped and growled at, the canine bully, which turned and made the little fellows “kl-yi.” Another dog, which was watching the row, saw that the curs were getting the worst of the fight, and immediately started for help. At Whiteman’s livery stable he found three collies and another large dog to whom the situation was quickly explained by barks. The four stable dogs made a dash for the corner. When the St.-Bernard saw the re-enforcements coming he found that he had important business in the direction of Market street. The curs thanked the coUies for the timely aid by wagging their tails, and the collies went back to the stable. Russian Brutality. The London Times is authority-fora story of Russian brutality. The nurse of a little daughter of Gen. Pouzereff, of Warsaw, was punishing a 10-year-old boy named Winter for a trivial misde- ; meaner, when he applied a number of unpleasant Polish names to her. Gem Gourko was informed of the matter, when he ordered the boy to receive twenty-five lashes. The boy fainted at the seventh blow, and his tutor, who required to execute the sentence, refused to continue, the barbarous pun- ( Ishmont. In this dilemma the police telegraphed to Gen. Gourko for instructions, and received peremptory orders to complete the execution of the sentence. The flogging was finished by the police, and the boy was sent back to his mother Insensible. hieedttg aud in oonvulsions. * . .» Work of Austrian Women.

THE AMERICAN DESERT. Ona of tbe Strange Corners of Our Country. The Great American Desert was almost better known a generation ago than it is to-day. Then thousands of the hardy Argonauts on their way to California had traversed that fearful waste oh foot with their dawdling ox-team, and hundreds of them left their bones to bleach In that thirsty land. The survivors of those deadly journeys had a very vivid idea of what that deadly desert was; but now that we can roll across it In less than a day in Pullman palace-cars, its real—and still existing—horrors are largely forgotten. I have walked its hideous length alone and wounded, and realize something more of it than a great many railroad Journeys across it have told me. Now every transcontinental railroad crosses the great desert which stretches up and down the continent, west of the Rocky Mountains, for nearly 2,000 miles. The northern routes cut Its least terrible parts; but the two railroads which traverse its Southern half—the Atlantic and Pacific railroad and the Southern Pacific —pierce some of its grimmest recesses. The first scientific exploration of this region was Lieutenant Wheeler’s United States survey about 1850; and he was first to give scientific assurance that we had here a desert as absolute as the Sahara. If its parched sands could speak their record, what a story they might tell .of sufferings and death; of slow-plodding caravans, whose patient oxen lifted their feet ceaselessly from the blistering gravel; of drawn humaQ faces that peered at some lying image of a placid lake, and toiled frantically on to sink at last, hopeless and strengthless, in the hot dust which the mirage had painted with the hues and the very waves of water. No one will ever know how many have yielded to the long sleep in that inhospitable land. Not a year passes, even now, without record of many dying upon that desert, and of many more who wander back, in a delirium of thirst. Even people at the railroad station sometimes rove off, lured by the strange fascinatibn of the desert, and never come back; and of the adventurous miners who seek to probe the folden secrets of those barren and strange hued ranges, there are countless victims. A desert is not necessarily an endless, level waste of burning sand. The Great American Desert is full of strange, burnt, ragged mountain ranges, with deceptive, sloping broad valleys between —though as we near its southern end the mountains become somewhat less numerous, and the sandy wastes more prominent There are many extinct volcanoes upon it. and hundreds of square miles of black, bristling lava-flows. A large part of it is sparsely clothed with the hardy greasewood; but in places not a plant of any sort breaks the suface, as far as the eye can reach. The summer heat is unbearable, often reaching J 36 degrees in the shade; and a piece of metal which has been in the sun can no more be handled than can a red-hot stove. Even in winter the mid-day heat is insufferable, while at night ice frequently forms on the water-tanks. The dally range of temperature there is said to be the greatest ever recorded anywhere; and a change of 80 degrees in a few hours is not rare.—St. Nicholas. London Newspaper Women. There are 18,000 newspaper women in London; a Ladies’ School of Journalism that grinds out fifty lady journalists every month, and twentytwo press cluhs and authors’ societies; where the dear pen-pushers gossip about their “beats,” eat crackers and cheese and consume largfc<qiutfitlties of tea. These unfortunate women eke out a miserable existence, the great majority actually working for a penny a line. The average pay is said to be but £1 a week, and those who succeed in getting into comfortable berths are few and far between. ’ Why is the letter K like a pig’s tail? Because it is the end of pork.
