Mrs. Washington's Noble Character In the course of the year following the French and Indian war. Col. Washington had paid his addresses successfully to Mrs. Martha Custis. to Whom he was married on the 6th of January, 1769. This lady was three months younger than himself, widow of John Parke Custis, and distinguish­ ed alike for her beauty, accomplish­ ments and wealth. She was the daugh­ ter of John Dandridge. At the time of l&£r .second «n&rriag6 she hau two children, a son and a daughter, the former six years old, the latter four. Mr. Custis had left large landed estates In New Kent County, and forty-flve thousands pounds sterling in money. One-third part of this property she held in her own right, the other two- tfcirds being equally divided between her children. By this marriage an accession of more than one hundred thousand dol­ lars was made to Col. Washington's fortune, which was already consider­ able in the estate at Mount Vernon, and other lands which he had select­ ed during hl» surveying expeditions and obtained at different times. To tbe management of his extensive pri­ vate affairs his thoughts now turned. He also took upon himself the guard­ ianship of Mrs. Washington's two children, and the care of their proper- r \ tjr, which trust he discharged with all Che faithfulness and assiduity of a father, till the son became of age, and 1(11 the daughter died in her nineteenth year. This union waB in every respect felicitous. It continued forty years. To her intimate acquaintances and to the nation, the character of Mis. Washington was ever a theme of praise. Affable and courteous, exem­ plary in her deportment, remarkable tor her deeds of charity and piety, un­ ostentatious and without vanity,' she adorned by her domestic virtues the sphere of private life, and filled with 'dignity every station in which she . Wap jtfaced. * * » * Absolute Stranger v to Physical Fear t-. y$jr& An anecdote la related by an his- illustrative of Washington's /s fiMolution and courage. A person of ^ "ffcwlees habits and reckless character fcad frequently entered upon the * jgrounds near Mount Vernon, and shot p, ducks and other game. More than , once he had been warned to desist, and »ot to return. It was his custom to eroas the Potomac in a canoe, and *7 /ascend tbe creeks to 6ome obscure f /plaoe, where he could be concealed |v from observation. One day, hearing ¥;• the discharge of a musket, Waahing- ton mounted his horse, and rede In ! ifcp:,. - •; that received by the king's troops, &nd deprecated the idea of being placed* upon a footing, which should imply an inferiority In rank, or in the value of their services. "While he took this high stand in defending the just claims of the offi­ cers; he endeavored to calm their feel­ ings and reconcile them to their con­ dition by appeals to their honor and the obligations of duty. ' I have com­ municated your sentiments to the oth­ er officers,' said he to the governor, 'and, as far as I could put on the hypo­ crite, set forth the advantages that may accrue, and advised them to ac­ cept the terms, as a refusal might re­ flect dishonor upon their character, leaving it to the world to assign what reason it pleases for their quitting the service.' And again, 'I considered the pernicious consequences that would atx tend a disunion and was therefore too much attached to my country's inter­ ests to sufTer it to ripen.' In this way he concealed his uneasiness, and tran- quilized the minds of his officers, al­ though he felt the wrongs they suf­ fered, and approved the spirit that would not tamely submit to them. "As to himself, it was not so much the smallness of the pay,' that gave him concern, as the indignity and in­ justice of having his services estimated at a lower rate, than in the British establishment, w-h^ in reality no ser­ vice could be more seYwse^Cnd hazard­ ous, or less promising of glory, than the one in which he was engaged. 'Now if we could be fortunate enough,' said he, 'to drive the French from the Ohio, as far as your honor would please to have them sent, in any short time, our pay will not be sufficient to discharge our first expenses. I would not have you imagine from this, that I have said all these things to have our pay gjm ^ the direction of the sound. The in truder discovered his approach, and had just time to gain the canoe and push it from the shore, when Washing­ ton emerged from the bushes at the distance of a few yards. The man raised his gun. cocked it, pointed it at him, and took deliberate aim; but, without a moment's hesitation, Wash­ ington rode into the water, seized the prow of the c&noe, drew it to land, disarmed his antagonist, and inflicted on him a chastisement, which he never again chose to run the hazard of en- countering. 4 £ * * Washington Chosen Commander-in-Chief At the outbreak of the war of the revolution, it should be said, to the credit of the New England delegates, that they were among the foremost to propose, and the most zealous to pro­ mote, the appointment of Col. Wash­ ington to the chief command. As the contest had b-»gun in Massachusetts, the inhabitants of which had been the chief sufferers, and tbe existing army was mostly raised there, It could i<ot have been thought an extravagant assumption had that colony aspired to the honor of furnishing a commander- in-chief. But, happily for America, the patriots of that flay rose far above the sordid a>ras of selfishness and par­ ty rivalshlps. While the discussions were going on in Congress respecting military prep­ arations, Mr. John Adams, one of the delegates from Massachusetts, moved that the army, then besieging the Brit­ ish troops in Boston, should be adopt­ ed by Congress as a Continental army; and. in the course of his observations enforcing this motion, he said it was his intention to propose for .the office of commander in chief a gentleman from Virginia, who was at that time a member of their own body. His re­ marks were so pointed that all present perceived them to apply to Col. Wash­ ington. who, upon bearing this refer­ ence to himself, retired from his seat and withdrew. When the day for the appointment arrived, the nomination was made by Mr. Thomas Johnson of Maryland. The choice was by ballot, and, on inspecting the votes, it was found that Col. Washington was unan­ imously elected. As soon as the re­ sult was ascertained, the House ad­ journed. On the convening of Con­ gress the next morning the president communicated to him officially the no­ tice of his appointment, and he rose in h'8 place and signified his accept­ ance in a brief and appropriate reply. Incident Typicok.1 of Washington's L2fe A story illustrative of the firm and determined character of Washington is told in the following description of af­ fairs during the frontier warfare: "The labors and dangers of the field were ndt the only troubles with which Col. Washington at this time had to contend. By an ill-timed parsimony, the pay of the officers was reduced so low as to create murmurs and discon­ tent throughout the camp. Complaints grew loud and vehement, accompanied with threats to resign and leave the army to its fate. Under this pressure the character of Washington shone with the same purity and lustre that often distinguished it afterwards on similar trying occasions. In his letters to the governor he assumed a firm and raanly tone, demanded for himself and his associates an allowance equal to /77& /<5 f7tf increased, but to Justify myself, and to show you that our complaints are not frivolous, but founded on strict reason. For my own part. It is a mat­ ter almost indifferent, whether I serve for full pay, or as a generous volun­ teer. Indeed, did my circumstances correspond with my inclinations, I should not hesitate a moment to pre­ fer the latter; for the motives that have led me here are pure and noble. I had no view of acquisition, but that of honor, by serving my king and country.' In this declaration, uttered in the sincerity of his heart, we per­ ceive the principles, the eminent vir­ tues. that dictated every act of his public life." i 4 i i Title of Monarch Sternly Pvit Aside When the revolution ended and peace was declared, the discontents of the officers and soldiers, respecting the ar­ rearage of their pay, increased, and, there being now a prospect that the army would ultimately be disbanded without an adequate provision by Con­ gress for meeting the claims of the troops, these discontents manifested themselves in audible murmurs and complaints, which foreboded serious consequences. But a spirit still more to be dreaded was secretly at work. In reflecting on the limited powers of Congress, and on the backwardness of the states to comply with the most essential requisition, even in support of their own interests, many of the officers were led to look for the cause in the form of government, and to distrust the stability qf republican in­ stitutions. So far were they carried by their fears and speculations that they meditated the establishment of a new and more energetic system. A colonel in the army, of a highly re­ spectable character and somewhat ad­ vanced In life, was made the organ for communicating their sentiments to the commander-in-chief. In a letter elaborately and skilfully written, after describing the gloomy state of affairs, the financial difficulties, and the in­ numerable embarrassments in which the country had been involved during the war, on account of its defective political organization, the writer adds: "This must have shown to all, and to military men in particular, the weakness of republics, and the .exer­ tions the army have been abl^to make by being under a proper heaar There­ fore I little doubt that, when the ben­ efits of a mixed government are point­ ed out and duly considered such will be readily adopted. In this case it will. I believe, be uncontroverted, that the same abilities, which have led us through difficulties, apparently insur­ mountable by human power, to victory and glory, those qualities tha- have merited and obtained the universal es­ teem and veneration odf an army, would be most likely to conduct and direct us in the smoother paths of peace. Some people have sg connected the ideas of tyranny and haonarchy as to find it very difficult to separate them It may therefore, be requisite to give the head of such a constitution as I propose some title apparently more moderate; but, if all other things were once adjusted, I believe strong argu­ ments might be produced for admitting tbe title of King, which I conceive would be attended with some material advantages." To this communication, as unexpect­ ed as it was extraordinary in its con­ tents, Washington replied as follows: "Newburg, 22 May, 1782. "Sir--With a mixture of great sur­ prise and astonishment I have read with attention the sentiments you have submitted to my perusal. Be assured, sir, no occurrence in the course of the war has given me more painful sensa­ tions than your information of there being such ideas existing in the army, as you have expressed, and I must view with abhorrence and reprehend with severity. For the present, the com­ munication of them will rest In my own bosom, unless some further agi­ tation of the matter shall make a dis closure necessary. "I am tnuch at* a loss to conceive what part of my conduct could have given encouragement to an address, which to me seems big with the great­ est mischiefs that can befall my coun­ try. If I am not deceived in the knowl­ edge of myself, you could not have found a person to whom your schemes are more disagreeable. At the same time, in Justice to my own feelings, I mijst add that no mau possesses a more sincere wish to see ample justice done to the army than I do, and as far as my powers and influence, in a constitutional way extend, they shall be employed to the utmost of my abil­ ities to effect it should there be any occasion. Let me conjure you, then, if you have any regard for your coun­ try, concern for yourself or posterity, or respect for me, to banish these thoughts from your mind, and never communicate, as from yourself or any one else, a sentiment of like na­ ture. I am, sir, etc. "George WashKtfton." Such was the language of Washing­ ton. when, at the head of his a»my and at the height of his power nn«» popu­ larity, it was proposed to him to be­ come a king. After this indignant re­ ply and stern rebuke. It is not prob­ able that any further advances w«re made to him on the subject. Thought Always of Country's Welfare In a letter to Colonel Hamilton, a delegate in Congress from the state of New York, Washington said: "My wish to see the union of these states established upon liberal and perma­ nent principles, and inclination to contribute my mite In pointing out the defects of the present constitution, are equally great. All my private letters have teemed with these sentiments, and, whenever this topic has been the subject of conversation, 1 have endeav­ ored to diffuse and enforce them; but how far any further essay by me might be productive of the wished-for end, or appear to arrogate more than belongs to me, depends so much upon popular opinion and the temper and disposi­ tions of the people that it is not easy to decide. I shall be obliged to you, however, for the thoughts which you have promised me on thrs subject, and as soon as you can make it convenient. No man in the United States is or can be more deeply Impressed with the necessity of a reform In our present confederation than myself. No man, perhaps, has felt the bad effects of it more sensibly; for to the defects there­ of. and want of power in Congress, may justly be ascribed the prolonga­ tion o? the war, and consequently the expenses occasioned by It. More than half the perplexities I have experi­ enced In the course of my command, and almost the whole of the difficulties and distress of the army, have had their origin here. But still, the preju­ dices of some, the designs of others, and the mere machinery of the ma­ jority make address and management necessary to give weight to opinions ch are to combat the doctrines of tXose different classes of men In the eld of politics." To Lafayette he wrote: "We are now an independent people, and have yet to learn political tactics. We are placed among the nations of the earth and have a character to «tabllsh; but how we shall acquit ourselves time must discover. The probability is (at least I fear It) that local or state poli­ tics will inteffere too much with the more liberal and extensive plan of government which wisdom and fore­ sight, freed from the mist of prejudice, would dictate, and that we shall be guilty of many blunders in treading this boundless theatre before we shall have arrived at any perfection in this art; in a word, that the experience which is purchased at the price of dif­ ficulties and distress will alone con­ vince us that the hoaor, power and true interest of this country must be measured by a continental scale, and that every departure therefrom weak­ ens the Union, and may ultimately break the band which holds us togeb- er. To avert these evils, to form a new constitution that will give con­ sistency, stability and dignity to the UnloD and sufficient powers to the great council of the nation for general purposes is a duty incumbent upon every man who wishes well to his country, and will meet with my aid as far as it can be rendered in the private walks of life." "I Die Hard, but I Am Not Afraid" After Washington's retirement from the Presidency, his health was remark­ ably good; and, although age had not come without its infirmities, yet he was able to endure fatigue and makq exertions of/the body and mind with scarcely lees ease and activity than he had done in the prime of his strength. On the 12th of December, 1799, he spent several hours on horseback, rid­ ing to his farms, and giving direc­ tions to bis managers. He returned late In tbe afternoon, wet and chilled with the rain and sleet, to which he "had been exposed while riding home. The water had penetrated to his neck, and snow was lodged in the locks of his hair. A heavy fall of snow the next day prevented his going abroad, except for a short time near his house. A sore throat and hoarseness convinced him that he had taken cold, but he seemed to apprehend no dan­ ger from it. He passed the evening with the family, read the newspapers, and conversed cheerfully till his usual hour for going to rest In tbe night he had an ague, and be­ fore dawn of the day the next morn­ ing, which was Saturday, the 14th, the soreness in his throat had become so severe that he breathed and spoke with difficulty. At his request ho was bled by one of his overseers, and in the meantime a messenger went "or Dr. Craik, who lived nine mile* off, at Alexandria. As no relief was obtained by bleeding and the symptoms wer« such as to alarm the family, anothei messenger was dispatched for Dr Brown, who resided nearer Mount Ver­ non. These physicians arrived in th« morning, and Dr. Dick in the course of the day. All the remedies which their united counsel could devise were used without effect. His suffering was acute and unabat ed during the day, but he bore It with perfect composure and reslgna tion Towards evening he said to Dr Craik: "I die hard, but T am-not afraid to die. I believed from my^ first at tack that I should not survive it. My breath cannot last long." From that time he said little, except to thank the physicians for their kindness, and request that they give themselves no more trouble, but let him die quietly Nothing further was dohe, and he sank gradually till between ten and eleven o'clock at night, when he expired, in the sixty-eighth year of his age ,and in the full possession of hig mental faculties- exhibiting in this short tad painful Illness, and in his death, the same sample of patience, fortitude and submission to the Divine will, which he had shown in all the acts of his life. On Wednesday, the 18th of De­ cember, his remains were deposited in the family tomb at Mount Vernon. Congress was at this time in session at Philadelphia; and, when the news of the melancholy event arrived at the seat of government, both houses Im­ mediately adjourned for the remainder of the day. The next morning, as soon as the House of Representatives had convened, Mr. Marshall, afterwards chief Justice, rose In his place and ad­ dressed the speaker in an eloquent and pathetic speech, briefly recounting the public acts of Washington. "Let us, then," said he at the conclusion, "pay the last tribute of respect and affection to our departed friend Let the Grand Council of the nation display those sentiments which the nation feels." He then offered three resolutions, pre­ viously prepared by General Henry Lee, which were accepted. By these it was proposed, that the House should in a body wait on the President to ex­ press their condolence; that the speak­ er's chair should be shrouded In black, and the members and officers of the House be dressed in black, during the session; and that a committee, in con­ junction with a committee from the Senate, should be appointed "to con­ sider on the most suitable manner of paying honor to the memory of the man, first in war, first In peace, and first in the hearts of his fellow citi­ zens." The Senate testified their respect and sorrow by similar proceedings. A joint committee of the two houses was appointed, who reported resolutions recommending that a marble monu­ ment should be erected to commemo­ rate the great events in the military and political life of Washington; that an oration, suited to the occasion, should be pronounced in the presence of both houses of Congress; that the people of the United States should wear ^ZAJfinIN6Tuti AT 15. tffrorr ftormir it crape on the left arm thirty days as a badge of mourning; and that tbe President, in the name of Congress, should be requested to write a letter of condolence to Mrs. Washington. These resolutions were unanimously adopted. Patrick Henry's Worthy Trib\ite Mr. Wirt relates an anecdote or Washington which shows in what esti­ mation he was held by the members of the first Congress. Soon after Patrick Henry returned home, being asked "whom he thought the greatest man In Congress," he replied, "If you speak of eloquence, Mr. Rutledge of South Carolina is by far the greatest orator; but, if you speak of solid information and sound judgment, Colonel Washing­ ton is unquestionably the 'greatest man on that floor." This opinion was vertfled by every act of his life. His knowledge, on the subjects to which he gave his attention, was most thor­ ough and exact; and all the world has agreed that no other mai) has given such proofs or aoandnsas of his Judgment. Lenfftb of Trips. The 5,664,811 passengers carried over Santa Fe system lines the last fiscal year traveled in the aggregate 514,037,- 047 miles or a little more than 90 miles per passenger. Considering the fact that so many made long trips to Cal­ ifornia the percentage of "short-trip­ pers" must have been quite large to bring the average down to less than a hundred. It has been found that editors' jour­ neys average only 50 miles, which fact effectually disposes of the musty Joke about newspaper men riding on passes to save board bills. They apparently stay at home more than other folks do. The Handsomest Calendar of the 8ea«on.
