22. VHEN WASHINGTON WAS BORN. eomethiii'i of America's Greatest General unit First Prcsi Jent-Sketcli of His Illustrious Career-His Last Illness and Death. Great Man's Life. Though the story has boon often told before xuid volume have born written concerning (Jcorge Washington's career, it is a tide which neither time can wither nor custom stale. At this season the country is celebrating once more the anniversary of his birth ami recalling to mind his great deeds. It is therefore, interesting to tell over again the facts which have given him the fame which he enjoys. (Jeorge Washington was born in Westmoreland County, tVa., Feb. '2.1, 17:r He does not seem to h ive shown any intellectual brilliance when a ""boy and his teaching was of rather an intermittent ort. The only thing for which he (showed much aptitude was in mathematics, and J this talent lie turnen 10 me iiniuin iiniu f surveying. He did a good deal of this when a young man, both on State lands and ou the extensive d jmaiu of Lord Fuirffti, a relative of his. Washington likewise showed proficiency in military matters, and at the age of ID was appointed adjutant of the provincial troops with the rank of major. Iiis first real experience of war happened in a campaign against the French in 1754. He performed prodigies of valor and won reat admiration from the colonists and Indians alike. Writing in a letter of one of these engagements he says: "I had four bullets through my coa't and four horses shot under mo, yet I escaped unhurt, though death was leveling my companions on every side." In 17) Washington married Mrs. Martha Custis. resigned his commission in the army and settled on his estate at Mt. Vernon, which had reverted to him upon the death of his elder brother, Lawrence. He began the life of a country gentleman liko so many others round him, engaged in raising cows and horses and supervising the cultivation of his acres. He was elected to the Virginia House of IurKosr.es. was a vestryman of, the parish hun-li and altogether lived a most humdrum and respectable Jife. Doubtless he expeefed thus to end Iiis da.- '-, living rjuiotly, obscure?;', at -peace witlfthe world, and far from the affairs of state.' Put fortcin; bad other things in store for Washington, and at the age of -l.'I he tvns called upon to begin a career which elmul.5 not only make his own name imniorlal, but be pregnant with far-reaching eoriseqm lu-es. To follow that career in Iota 1 1 would be to do no less than write the wh!c story of the revolutionary war. o intimately was Washington concerned 4n its every event. lie was an extremely oiisorvative man and was much averse to any idea of separation from lhtgland, but when the die was once cast, when he know that ro'roat was inevitable, he threw himself heart and soul into the cause of (lie colonies, bound to make them win or perish in tl. attempt. His task was a hard one. America, a now country. Its wealth Wholly undeveloped, was pi; ted gainst (treat PriSain. that had behind her centuries of culture and of r!hcs. Washington had , only green, untried soldiers ta oppose an army which had defied o none e w. sinx (a o v. tiie world. I'pon him alme tested the whole responsibility. His duty it v. as to hearten his men in the hour of darkness And foretell good things when his soul boded the worst; his it was to soften the jealousies and enmities of his subordi nates and his, finally, was the duty of turn. tig defeat to victory and making tin mixta ks of the enemy serve his country's je.irpose. The war being nt length over and the independence of America thereby achiov ed, Washington retired to private life on his estate nt Mt. Vernon, From that Spacefill home he was called by his conn trymeu topresido over thom as ruler. He ten inaugurated at New York April U, 17K0. He chose as his cabinet Thomas -Fcfl'erson, of Virginia. for Seerelarv of Ktate; Alexander llamdfon, of Now York ior the Treasury, and Ib-nry Knox, of Massachusetts, as Secretary of Y.ir. Dur ft II . I' . t . fs .1 ing tins iirs; aomniisTraiion tue nuances f the country were gotten into soino kin f .shape, tlie Supreme Court was organ7ed and s.-veral important anieiidutents to th constitution recommended. In the coiirse'ef his lirst term Washing ton made e. tensive tours through tlie east tcl south a'.d everywhere received most flattering evidence- of popular favor 1 hough f, accept a second term as President, .lef'fersMii tiI Hamilton both eonie!cd it, and . Washington, for a second tiui", accepted tlie nomination. He el.-ct d and his inauguration took pbu-e Miircli t, lT'.'o. During this term the war between France a lid Ihigland "broke out nu t Washington advocated for this country a policy of strict neutrality. This coins" stilled up nun idcrable criticism. In oticr matters Washington's policy excited a good thai of feeling, so that his second term was by no means so Jiappy us hi fir.-!. It was partly for these reasons, partly that he was wearied with the cares of state, that Washington entirely discouraged nil idea of a third term and published 3d farewell address to the people in Scptfiuber, 17'.)'. John Adams was therefore elected to the chief magistracy and. fler being present at his inauguration, "Washington sought the seclusion of Mt. Ternon. He was not suffered long to enjoy In piiet the pleasures of pence, for a war irlth France appearing imminent, Washington was summoned to lead the United Btates forces.

Happily the trouble with France. was averted, but Washington did not live to know it. Dee. 12, 17fJl), while out riding, he got caught in the rain and contracted a severe cold. This developed into a serious illness, and it soon became evident that Washington could not rally. The end came Dec. 14. He said to those about his bod: I feel myself going; I thank you for your attention, but 1 pray you take no more trouble about me." His last words were; "It is well." The funeral took place on tlie lSth and Washington's body was laid in the vault nt Mr. Vernon, where it has remained until this day. a fitting place of pilgrimage for all Americans who luve their country and reverence its first great leader. MARTHA WASHINGTON. Sterling nnrt Rrilliant Characteristics of tlie I'ntriot'e Helpmate. AUTI I A WASIIington belonged to the Virginia school o f aristocracy, where she was in her girlhood a colonial belle, to whom the chivalVi runs irginians i. f It'll. 1 .1rfcrt f r. I -''g- She vas the genueina'i oi iortune, Col. John t i. Dandridge. and the widow of another, Col. Daniel Farke Custis, owner of the White House, Kent County, Va., where she married !e.irge Washington, in 17ö'., and brought him a reputation for beauty, wealth ami virtue. Her fame went everywhere, and people at Mount Vernon remarked that Mrs. Washington must be as g'd a commander as her husband to manage successfully an army of servants, tradespeople and guests. Such was the hospitality of those days that no visitor was ever, permit ted to leave after sunset. The hunt, cards and dancing were the amusements of the times. Hverybody kept often houe. It is interesting to know i hat Mrs. Custis, the bride, wore upon her marriage with Col. Washington a wedding dress of heavt corded white silk interwoven with silver threads. It was elegantly trimmed with heavy white satin ribbon brocaded with silver leaves. The dress opened over a white satin quilted overskirt. She wore white satin, highheeled shoes of tho period, with diamond buckles, viifiles of point lace, und an exquisite suite of pearls, necklace, earrings and bracelets. She was attended by three bridesmaids. Martha Washington would not have been fitted for a place in history as the "lirst lady of the republic" if she had not possessed a mind of her own, nud been capable of commanding her household, ami occasionally her husband. It is rcM A IITIIA corded by Miss I'remer that a guest at Mount Vernon overheard her distinguished hostess giving George a piece of her mind after they.hadretired for the night. He listened in profound silence, and when she had said her say, he answered pleas-

Thirty years after her marriage to Gen. Washington, Martha Washington found herself elevated to the position of the lirät lady of the hind. At Washington's levees the President always appeared as a pri vate gentleman, without the cocked hat of ceremony, and with no sword. All callers were seated, and the rich pound cake and plum cake of the day was hand ed around with tea and coffee, and wine, a custom that was imperative in those days in good society. Kvory Friday even ing Mrs. Washington received from S to 10 o'clock, and the most elegant and refined people attended tho.?e receptions, the license which admits the general publie not having been extended. It was the day of a republican couit. and rank, char acter and full dress were necessary to gain admittance. Martha Washington was of plump figure, full of grace, sprightliness, and with an aristocratic bearing that was due to generations of refined and elegant prosperity. She was of Welsh descent,' which accounts for that rare blending of sterl ing domestic qualities with the lightrr and more brilliant characteristics of Virginia birth and breeding, which were, however, not incompatible with fitness for o i : o i : i : w a m 1 1 n to .v. Fron the painting by Cilhert Stuart. housekeeping in every branch of which she was versed. After Washington's death she destroyed her entire correspondence with him, un willing that the confidence they had shar ed should e ver be given to the public. The sum of her virtues and qualifications may be thus estimated: She was worthy to share the pilgrimage and be the life companion of as illustrious a man as George Washington. Absurd Suggestion.

WHY PERSIST IN LYING? GltFAT fears are being expressed , in Congress and out of Congress tb:.l tho Cnitcl St:ii. i .... tlo. ! in Congress and om of Congress that the Fnited States is on tluragged edge financially, and that some thing must be done iinmiHliatelv or the credit of tho nation is gone. Aceoiding to the opinions of prominent mom- ! bcrs of Congress, in both parties, the-v j is onlv one wav out of the quagmire of ! insolvencv. More bonds nuisi be issued I to huv ;ol. ' We I a ve tea-hod the danger line. The ; Js10o.m!o.!hmi j;,,,! reserve solemnly set apart as a redemption fund for green backs is being rapidly exhausted. The oft-repealed declaration that the out standing greenbacks, amounting to !::-b :,(! MX hi. are payable in gold, and the SbHi.ooo (km reserve fund must bo in gold, is a willful and deliberate falsehood, told and repeated on purpose to make It appear that bonds must be immediatelv issued to buy uold with which to redeem government obligations. Another SIimi.imm'i.Ooo issue of bonds has boon sold as a redemption fund for greenbacks and treasury notes, and they are sold for gold only. The gold gamblers have onlv to present say .".. 1 iHin.mo in notes at the treasury lor redeinption to hring the reserve down to the langer line and make another sale of bonds necessarv. What stupidity, what a want of busi ness sense, what trilling, what an .mi rage upon the people I There is no law requiring the reserve to be in gold. A silver reserve will conform strictly to the require I tents of the law. Nothing Is wanting to arrest tic rascally raid t'pofi tlie treasury lor gojii. aim slop toe Issue of coin bonds, but for the Seer-.-lary of the Treasury to pay silver when greenbacks and treasury notes are present ed for redemption. Nohody would ask for the com re demption of the government paper if the Secretary of the Treasury would exercise his discretion and protect the people from the cupidity and eoneerted action of gold syndicates and bankers. Suf h action mi the part of our government otlicials would not only st p the raids upon the treasury, says the Cin cinnati J'nquiror. but would inject into the circulation the reserve fund, ami this, with the coinage of S.V,1 0. h m of silver bars lying in the treasury and belonging to the government, umil l increase the volume of legal tender money, infuse new life into the prostrated and flying industries, and w uld soon bring gold, silver, greenbacks treasury indes an a parity wiih ca h other. llolh branches of Congress. lv a vej.v decided majority, have declared that all tho money obligations of ihe goveminent can honorably and i:i ih ut most good faith be paid in silver dol lars ! the weight ami iinene.-s prescribed by tho coinage act of .luiy, 1s"o. Such a declaration by tlie lav, -making power of the Fnited Slates would cer tainly justify the Secretary of the Treasury in paying obligations in either silver fir gold, as would be most onVenient. This selisitlven-s.; about the national honor is manifested only wl on creditors are required t conform to the letter ami spirit of ih, law. The rights of debtors may be disregarded without any sacrifice of good faith. In the judgment of Shylocks. The public are agreed that the only necessity for the issue of bonds; Is to make the gold reserve good. Do away with that necessity. If the government needs money beyond its receipts Issue exchequer bills at a bw rate of interest and tin short time, ami the pcoph will take them gladly. Let us rid the government of syndicates ami thieves. Duty of Coiiijrmf. Senator Tillman (S.

Tin discussions in progress in Congress show that the gold syndicate ami bankers have been busy in getting up a c.uiier in gold, so that the Covern Mont Would b' ('(impelled to accept t hetr bids on their ou n terms for a not hcr Issue of bonds. They think that a popular loan would be a failure, and as th" combine must have all the bond; or none the lovernnient Is at their mercy and the bonds are already theirs. It Is undoubtedly true, as claimed, that the destruction Of greenbacks as fast as they find their way into the treasury would prevent the looting of the treasury of its gold.
