GEN. WASHINGTON’S APPEARANCE.

A Pen Picture ot the Father of His Country —His Mode of life. An old gentleman whom I met above the Braddook Hotel told me he had for years heard George Washington Cußtis talk of his adopted father. Said he: “Custis looked np to Washington as a god. He described him as straight as an American Indian, and as free in his walk as the savage. From the stories I have heard of Washington, I have tried to picture him in my mind’s eye. He was a tall man, padded with mnsole. He was six feet two in his shoes, and he weighed 210 pounds in his prime. He wore about No. 11 shoes, and had gloves three times as large as the average. His hands were so large that they were a curiosity, and his whole frame was bony and large-joint-ed. He had a broad chest, but not a full one. It was rather hollow, and he was troubled in his last days with a cough. His month was firm, and his lower jaw gripped the upper with a determined grip. In later years he lost his te<eth, and the false ones he got did not fit well, and pushed out his lower lip. He had eyes of cold light grey, which could look stern and angry upon occasion, and which seldom entiled. He was as wide at the hips as at the shdnlders, and kept his straightness of stature to the last. He had large legs, and was a good rider and runner. You have heard the stories of his wonderful strength of arm, and how he threw stones fride distances. His nose was rather thick and coarse. I have never heard that it had a blossom on it. He was rather fastidious as to dress, though he wore plain clothes when not on military duty. He always shaved himself, but had a servant to comb and tie his hair every morning. I have heard Mr. Custis say that he rose very early at Mount Vernon, often before daybreak, and as early as 4 a. m. He would, at sunrise, go to his stables and look at his blooded horses. When he came back he had a light breakfast of corn cakes, honey, and tea, or something of that sort, and then he ate nothing maYo until dinner. I am speaking of his later years. After breakfast he rode over his estate, and at 3 had returned and was dressed for dinner. Dinner was a big meal at Mount Vernon, and Washington ate nothing after it. Ho usually drank five glasses of Madeira wine at"dessert, but I have never heard of his being drunk. He was not opposed to the moderate use of liquor, and When he was first elected to the House of Burgesses of Virginia, among items of his election expenses were a hogshead and a barrel of whisky, thirty-five gallons of wine, and forty gallons of beer. In the Virginia House he did not cut a great figure. He was not much of a speaker, but he was popular, or he could not have held his place for fifteen years, as h 9 did. I have understood that he treated his slaves very well, but that he made them work, and would allow no foolishness among them. Washington liked the theater, and was fond of dancing in early life. “Do you think he was a religious man?” ”—.■■■• “No,” was the reply, “I do not. He was a church member, you know, and a vestryman, but the vestry in those days was a semi-political board. I have heard old citizens say that Washington would often leave the church before the services were over.. Communion, you know, is served at the last of the service. The fact that Washington slighted communion is evidence to my mind that he was not a Christian of the cast-iron kind. Another evidence is the fact that he had no preacher at his bedside during his last sickness. He was sick, you know, for several days, and there must have been ample time to have got a preacher, if he had de- * sired it. He was thoroughly conscious until the last, and it is said that he timed his pulse as long as the breath was in his body. As it left him his hand dropped from his wrist, and he sank back dead. During his last hours he gave the most minute directions as to business matters, directing his wife to go and get the two wills which he had made, and bum the one which he wished annulled. He directed that his corpse be kept for three days, and Tobias Lear, his private secretary, says among his last words were those in regard to his burial. He died on Saturday night, and on the next Wednesday he was buried in a walnut coffin lined with lead. Many years after this his body was changed from this box to the marble tomb in which it now ließ. —Letter in Cleveland Leader.

The Origin of Oaths.

Mr. Shannon, in his hook "with the punning title, “A Cursory History of Swearing.” finds the origin of swearing in the early dread of falsehood, against which laws were as yet powerless to guard. Hesiod fables-that the god of oaths was the son of Discord. We have profited by centuries of nntruthfulness, and “learned the preponderating advantages of an intelligible code of truth.” Thus the oath, which once meant the seal of truth, has dwindled down till “it has come to be a common catch word, or the fustian ornament of somewhat spirited talk.” Many will now perjure themselves on the Bible, a form of oath which is a relic of barbarism, when a solemn affirmation would seem to them all powerful in its restraint. It was charged against Thomas a’ Becket that he swore on a book of old songs, and the chroniclers mention, among objects ehosen, swords and javelins, love tokens and heathen gods, sepulchers of debtors, abbey churches, and even the price of the potter’s field. A recent traveler in the East relates how on emerging from the Arabian desert she was met by an elderly sheikh, a man with a beard worthy of Abraham, who gravely bowed to the ground, and, with a solemn pride in his linguistic accomplishments, proceeded to mingle sonorous British oaths in his courteous salutation.

An Eccentric River.

The Reese River Valley, in Western Nevada, is about 150 miles'long, but the river itself is very much longer. 'Jhe valley was evidently not intended to tit the river, but the river to tit the valley. In fact, that eccentric stream runs over and about the valley, up and down, sideways and all other ways, considerably on the surface, but fre-

quently taking a dive and disappearing through some subterranean channel for miles at a stretch; 'The stream runs in a continued series of bold curves and angles, without one straight section of a dozen yards in its whole length. If pulled out straight it-Would be forty times as long as the valley.

Imagine Senator Beck’s Feelings.

Senator Beck, of Kentucky, and Representative Wilkins, of Ohio, were talking, when the Kentuckian espied the picture of a horse hanging oh the wall. “There,” he exclaimed with rapture, “is a picture of Lexington, the grandest horse that ever stood on four feet.” “Yes,” said Mr. Wilkins, “he was certainly a very remarkable horse. Was he a trotter or a runner?” A look of ineffable scorn passed over Senator Beck’s broad, expansive countenance. “Was he a trotter or a runner?” he repeated, astonishment, pity and profound disgust being blended in the tones of his voice. “Was he a runner or a trotter? Well, well, I do declare. I never heard of Buch astounding ignorance before in the whole course of my life, excepting on one occasion, and that was three years ago, and a fellow-Senator was the frightful example. Iroquois had won the English DerJ>y, and we Kentuckians naturally felt proud of the success of the American racer abroad, * and waited with breathless anxiety for newS from France that would tell us of the victory or defeat of the Kentucky bred Foxhall, who was entered for the Grand Prize of Paris. The day of the race I opened up my newspaper and looked for the Paris date line the first thing. I was overjoyed to find that Foxhall had indeed won, and sent a page for Senator Allison. When he came over to my desk I pointed to the Paris telegram, and asked him to ‘read that.’ He read the paragraph and calmly expressed his great gratification over the victory. After he had run on a while he paralyzed me by the inquiry, ‘Was it a trotting or a running race that Foxhall won ?’ “Imagine my feelings. Words could not express them. I fell back in my chair speechless, and didn’t speak to the Senator from lowa for two weeks. Brother Wilkins, I would like to see you ih Kentucky, buj; as a friend I must advise you to read up on Lexington before you cross the Ghip. If the Kentuckians should suspect you of not knowing whether Lexington was a trotter or a racer it might go hard with you. ” —National Republican.

Genius and Age.

It was not till lie was 42 years of age that Hawthorne believed that he had written something which would in all probability catch the general ear; and the appearance of “Mosses from an Old Manse” in 1846 justified, and probably more than justified, his always modest expectations. It can hardly be doubted that, if a man is to achieve the highest and most enduring kind of success in the composition of prose romances, he has a far better-chance of attaining that result if he lies fallow for many years, and only ventures on a great effort when he has reached maturity. Hawthorne was 46 years of age when he gave to the world that wonderful study of human nature, “The Scarlet Letter,” and at once stood in the front rank of living writers of ilctioH. Fielding was nearly the same age when he wrote “Tom Jones.” Scott was even older when he wrote “Waverley,” and Richardson was past 50 when he achieved notoriety with “Pamela.” Thackeray, it is true, wrote “Vanity Fair” when he was 35, but he, too, had reached the same age as Hawthorne—when the latter wrote “The Scarlet Letter ” before producing “ Esmond ” and “The Newcomes. ” George Eliofrmight be cited as another instance of the truth that before people can compose novels of lasting value into which a knowledge of humatt nature enters they must themselves have lived. —London Standard.

Everyday Politeness.

It is astonishing how many people there are in the world who do not know intuitively what common politeness dictates; but still more astonishing how many there are who, knowing what it dictates, do not seem to reflect that in discarding the rules of politeness they indirectly sacrifice tHemselves by ignoring rules deduced for the comfort of all from the experience of mankind; for the purpose, first of all, to prevent mankind treading on each other’s toes, and then, in the higher grade, to make their pathway through life pleasant. Trifles, it is said, make np the sum of life; but, paradoxically, nothing is, therefore, a trifle that goes to make up a sum which, for the most favored of mortals, may, indeed# be in excess of his deserts, but which is for any one never absolutely great. It is only by making the fund of comfort. a great tontine that men, women, and children can secure the full amount of whatever life has in it of possible enjoyment. — Philadelphia, Telegraph. '

Making a Cup of Coffee.

According to Lamartine, “it is the •hardest thing in the world to do the simple things in life and do them right. Who can keep his temper? Who knows how to control his appetite? Where is the man that can hold his tongue? Who knows bow to forgive an injury? Where is happiness to be found ? What man knows how to live,?” and where is the woman that can make good coffee? It must be one of the hard simple things that Lamartine refers to, for where there are a score of housewives who can make firm jellies and delicious preserves and pastries, there is . not one who can be depended on for good coffee 365 days in the year.

City Life.

We are forced, for the sake of accumulating power and knowledge, to live in cities; but such advantages as we have in association with each other is in great part conntertmlanced by our loss of fellowship with nature. For surely we know that the meadow grass, meshed with fairy rings, is better than the wood pavement cut into hexagqns; and surely we know tbe fresh winds and sunshines of the upland are better than the choke-damp of the vault or the gaslight of the ballroom.— Buskin.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE!

Remarkable Statement of Personal Dancer and Provident al Kacape. ' The following story—which Is attracting wide attention from the press—is so remarkable that we pan not excuse ourselves if wo do not lay It before our readejrs, even though ltd length would ordinarily preclude its admission to our limited Space. To the Editor Rochester (N. T.) Democrat: Sir—On the first day of June, 1881, I lay at my residence In this city surrounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony I then endured, for words can never desorlbe It. And yet. If a few years previous any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, and by so terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. X had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, and weighed over 200 pounds, and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or siekne.-s were. Very many people who wlh read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot account for It. They feel dull pains in various parts of the body and do not understand it. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. This was just the way I felt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself upon me first began. Still I thought nothing of itpthat probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly after this 1 noticed a heavy, and at times neuralgic, pain in one s de of my head, but as it would come one day and be gope the next, I paid little attention to it. Then my stomach would get out of order and my food often lailed to digest, causing at times great Inconvenience. Yet, even as a physician I did not think that these things meant anything serious. I fancied I was suffering from malaria and doctored myself accordingly, but I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing —also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared upon the surface, and a sediment settled. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became accustomed to them, and my suspicion was whot'y disarmed by the fact that I had no pain in the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot understand. I consulted the best medical skill In the land. I visited all the famed mineral springs in America and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal-irritation; another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another, general debility; another, congestion of the base of the brain; and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms Of many of which I really had. In this way several years passed, during which time I was steadily growing worse. My condition had really become pitiable. The slight symptoms I at first experienced were developed into terrible and constant disorders. -My weight had been reduced from 207 to 130 pounds. My life was a burden to myself gnd friends. I could retain no food on my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony I frequently feU to the floor and clutched the carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death-premonitory hiccoughs constantly. My water was filled with tube-casts and a bumen. 1 was struggling with Bright’s disease of the kidneys in its last stages! While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Hev. Dr. Foote, at that t.me rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, of this city. I felt that It was our last Interview, but In the course of conversation Dr. Foote detailed'to me the many remarkable cures of cases like my own which had come under his observation by means of a remedy, which he urged me to try. As a practicing physician and a graduate of the schools, 1 derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being in tbe least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally promised! I would waive my prejudice. I began MS use on the first day of June, 1881, and took it according to directions. At first it sickened me; but this I thought was a good sign for one in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it; tbe sickening sensation departed and X was finally able to retain food upon my stomach. In a few days I noticed a decided change for the bet-, ter, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experience! less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this Improved condition that, upon what I had believed but a few days before was my dying bed, I vowed, in the presence of my family and friends, Ehould I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for tbe good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity, and this letter in fulfillment of that vow. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had gained 26 pounds In flesh, became 'entirely f reefrom pain, and J. believe X owe my life and present conditfbn wholly lo ’.Varner’s Safe Cure, tbe remedy which I used. Since my recovery I have thoroughly reinvestigated the subject of kidney difficulties and Bright’s disease, find the truths developed are astounding. I therefore state, deliberately, and as a physician, that I believe more than one-half the deaths which occur in America are caused by Bright’s disease of the Kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright’s disease has no distinctive symptoms of its own (Indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other common complaint. Hundreds pf people die daily whose burials are authorized by a physician’s certificate as occurring from “Heart Disease,” “Apoplexy,” “Paralysis,” “Spinal complaint," “Rheumatism,” “Pneumonia,” and other common complaints, when In reality it is from Bright’s disease of the kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extont of this disease or its dangerous and insidious nature. It steals into tbe system like a thief, manifests Its presence, if at ail, by the commonest symptoms, and fastens itsel;' upon the constitution before tbe victim is aware bf it. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common, and fully as fatal. Entire families, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none of the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of common symptoms, it often shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly, from convulsions, apodlexy, or heart disease. As one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experience what he says, I implore every one who reads these » ords not to neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty. Certain agony and probable death will bo the sure result of such neglect, and no one can afford to hazard such chances lam aware that t uch an unqualified statement as this, coining from me. known as I am throughout ih ? entire land as a practitioner and lectur r, will arouse tbe surprise and possible animosity < f the medical profession and astonish all with whom I am acquainted; but I make the foregoing statements based upon facts which I am prepared to produce and truths which I can substantiate to tbe letter. The welfare of those who may possibly be sufferers such as I was, is an auip e inducement for me to take the step 1 have, and if I can successfully warn others from the dangerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to endure all professional and personal consequences.

Interesting Agricultural Item.

A farmer in the eastern part of the State missed a couple of his cows some time ago; and a diligent search and notices in the county papers failed to bring them to light. Yesterday, however, while in the field, he noticed a hole in one side of his pumpkin, and on getting a lantern and going in, he found the lost cows quietly eating pumpkin seeds and getting fat. The hole in the fruit was caused"* by the rapid growth of the vines; which had dragged it along over the ground for half a mile.—Kansas Teetotaler. Texas is furnishing Alaska with horses. /«

The Remains of a King.

Recently the tomb of Edward lIL, in Westminster Abbey, was opened, and the body of “Longshanks,” as he was called, was found in a remarkably good state of preservation. The flesh of the face had turned to a yellow powder, but the parting in the hair was still there, and the shape and form of the body remained intact Around the head was a narrow silver band on which was engraved his name. The remains were placed in the tomb 507 years ago.

A Bad Omen.

We should be heedful of warnings. Nature gives us such. Inactivity of the kidneys and bladder is an omen of danger. The diseases which attack those organs are among tbe most fatal and obstinate, and are usually preceded by the above symptom of growing weakness. The best invlgorant under such circumstances is Hostetter’s Btomach Bitters, a safe as well as active remedy. The proper degree of energy is imparted to the operations of these important secreting and discharging glands, without overstimulation, by the Bitters. In that respect, as in others, it surpasses and is preferable to diuretics which overact. The article is also a remedy for and preventive of chills and fever and bilions remittent, and cures rheumatic ailments, dyspepsia, debility and nervousness. Don’t delay if you experience the well-known symptoms of any of these aliments, bnt use the Bitters at once. We take the spade of scientific research, throw up the dirt, and reveal the secrets Time has buried there ages ago, and to the heavens we elevate the celestial tubes of astronomical investigation, and bring down knowledge older than the earth we tread; bnt, with all onr reaching upward and digging downward, there is one matter that will always remain a sealed mystery, and that is, what the deuce becomes of the last inch of all the usedup lead pencils. About twenty-five years since Mason A .Hamlin announced important improvements in reed instruments, then known as melodeons. So considerable were the changes and Improvements that they claimed for their new instrument another and better name—organ or cabinet organ—by which it has become universally known, and obtained wonderful usefulness and success; about 80,000 organa being now made In this country yearly, while American organs are largely exported to every civilized country. The same company now offer to the public an improved Upright Piano, which they have been experimenting upon and testing for a number of years, and confidently claim presents improvements of the greatest practical value. A distinguishing characteristic is that they entirely dispense with wood in holding the strings, which are secured by metal fastenings directly to the iron plate, so securing perfect vibration and more pure musical tones, with much greater durability. The changing conditions of wood, so objectionable iu such a matter, are entirely avoided. The improvement certainly seems to be one of great importance. —Boston Traveller.

A Solid Muldoon.

Lord Tolemache is a landlord whom many of his countrymen among the landed gentry of England might be inclined to envy nowadays. He has not a farm «h hand, nor is there a shilling of rent in arrears on his estate. He has expended $750,000 in building between sixty and seventy model dairy farms and homesteads. He has also built several hundreds of model cottages for laborers, and most of them have a few acres of land attached, which is let at a very low rent, so that the men are enabled to keep cows. —Boston Herald. * * * Bad treatment of stricture often complicates the disease and makes it difficult of cure.

DR.

He refers to the entire Weeteitt'aad Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no ease whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. Jn a great many eases t single dose has been sufficient fpr a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every ease more eertain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been cheeked, more especially in difficult and long-standing eases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a eathartio medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonio, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAULT PILLS will be sufficient.
