WHERE WASHINQTON WAS BORN.
Monument Marks the Birthplace of the
Father of Our Country.
A monument in honor of George Wash
ington now marks the place of his birtb.
In 1805 Congress appropriated $11,000 in
furtherance of the project, but not until
July 4 of the following year did the un
veiling take place.
lhe monument stands fifty-one feet
above the cement foundation, the monolith
shaft rising 40 feet 4 inches above the
base. The shaft springs from a founda
tion fourteen fwt square and eight feet
high. Dressed down the abaft weighs
about thirty-six tons. Above this rises
the stone of the first base, twelve feet
square and one foot eight inches high.
On this rests the second base, nine feet
three inches square and three feet high.
Above this is the die upon which the in
scription is cut, and this is six feet five

inches square and four feet ten inches
high. The plinth just above it is four feet
five inches square and one foot two inches
high. The shaft that springs from this
is three feet eight inches square and rises
forty feet four inches above the plinth.
The marble for this notable landmark
was quarried at Barre, Vt..
Washington s birthplace is near Wake
field, forty-two miles from Fredericks
burg, Va., and no one can imagine the
dreary isolation of the place. The site
of the house in which Washington was
born, which was determined before the
erection of the monument only by a scat
tering pile of broken bricks and mortar
from the chimney, is about one mile and
a half from the Potomac at a point where
that river is about seven miles wide and
about six or seven hundred feet from
Pope's creek, formerly Bridge's creek.
The Government has built a wharf 1,080
feet long out into the Potomac, and when
the grounds are beautified it is intended
that the river steamers shall stop here.

The Experiment Failed.
No man admires the memory of George
Washington more than Cbauncey M. De-
pew, and the only defect Mr. Dcpew ever
saw in the character of the greatest Amer
ican he related at a dinner in honor of the
celebration of the battle of Princeton.
Washington's quiet dignity and sternness
ot character prevented not only himself
but his companions from enjoying the hi
larity necessary to a good dinner.
The grandfather of Gen. Cochrane was
surgeon general of the staff, and he used
to tell this story of the attempt of the
younger members to break through this
reserve and bring the commander-in-chief
into sympathy with both the serious and
hilarious incidents that happened. The
novel method of producing this result was
that the best raconteur should tell the
story which had found the greatest suc
cess, and then that Gov. Morris, the most
brilliant, audacious and best loved of the
fllcers, should slap the general on the
back and say, 'Old gentleman, how do you
like that? Washington "" fir" aston-

WASHINGTON'S POLITENESS.
A Very Pleasant Anecdote of the Great
American Gentleman.
In the Century there is an article by
Martha Littlefield Phillips, giving "Rec
ollections of Washington and His
Friends." The author is a granddaugh
ter of the youngest daughter of Gen. Na.
thauiel Greene's, and she tellir-the follow.
ing story in the words of her grandmoth
er, concerning a visit of the latter to
Washington at Philadelphia:
"One incident which occurred during
that visit was so comical in itself, and so
characteristic of Washington, that I recall
it for your entertainment. Larly in
bright December morning a droll-looking
old countryman called to see the Presi
dent. In the midst of their interview
breakfast was announced; and the Preal
dent invited bis visitor, as was his hos.
pitable wont on such occasions, to a seat
beside him at the table. The visitor
drank his coffee from his saucer, but lest
any grief should come to the snowy dam
ask, be scraped the bottom of bis cup on
the saucer's edge before setting it down
on the 'tablecloth. He did it with such
audible vigor that it attracted my atten
tion, and that of several young people
present, always on the alert for occasions
of laughter. We wre so indiscreet as
to allow onr amusement to become obvi
ous. Gen. Washington took in the situa
tion, and immediately adopted his visit
or's method of drinking his coffee, mak
ing the scrape even more pronounced than
the one he reproduced. Our disposition
to laugh was quenched at once.

is quoted hy Miss Wharton in her "Mar

"Mrs. Washington was In the habit of
retiring at an early hour to her owu
room, unless detained by company, and
there, no matter what the hour, Nellie
(Miss Curtis) attended her.
"One evening my father's carriage be
ing late in coming for me, my dear young
friend invited me to accompany her to
grandmamma's room. There, after some
little chat, Mrs. Washington apologized
to me for pursuing her usual preparations
for the night, and Nellie entered upon her
accustomed duty by reading a chapter
and a psalm from the old family Bible,
after which all present knelt in evening
prayer. -
"Mrs. Washington's faithful maid then
assisted her to disrobe and lay her head
upon the pillow. Nellie then sang a verse
of some sweetly soothing hymn, and then,
leaning down, received the parting bless

remarks on her duties, Improvements, etc.

Mr. Vest hurried the eggs up to Sheep

He put four cans in a sack and tied the
suck over the dogs' bncks. Each dog
carried 88 pounds in this way. Once
over the summit the cans were piled 011
sleds, pulled by the dogs and the Jour
ney continued.
Several adventures befell Mr. Vest
ami his companion on the way. On
December 81 they stopped at a cabin
and bought supper and lodging. They
bought some moccasins of one of thei
liostB. In the morning one can of th
eggs, now becoming more and more
precious, was gone, Mr. Vest bad his
suspicions but had no evidence. lie
ABked his host about the inisxing oh 11
bnt got no satisfaction, although his
suspicions were confirmed. There were
others camping at the cabin and from
these two or three days later Vest
obtained corroborative evidonce as
the guilt of the suspect. The thief

followed him and took him before the
police. Confronted with the evidence
of his crime the follow confossed. The
police deoreed that the man should be
punished by giving up his outfit to the
man he had wronged. This was dime
and Mr. Vest got $185 per dosuu for
the oan of eggs.
At Thirty-Mile river an ndvonture of
a different sort overtook the egg niiin
A raft was built to float down the river.
Vest stayed on shore to line tho raft
down and his companion was alwmri
the raft. The we at one place was
not strong enough to support Mr.
Vest's weight and he was forced to
lot the line go. The raft went spin
ning down the river at a fearful rate,
the anxious owner running along shore
to keep up with it. Suddenly a rock
rimmed with ice appeared in the truck
of the raft. In a moment the raft had
dived under the ice, the rider had
jumped for bis life to the rock and the
cargo had spilled into the swift stream.
It was bitter cold, but the situation
was desperate. Vest did not ponder
long upon what to do. Ha plunged
into the stream and pulled out tho
sacks one at a time. To do this he had
to ran along and into the stream for, a
mile and a half. His clothos frose io
him. but be saved his eggs. Then he
went back to hii companion and threw
out a awpe and towed him ashore.
Three men who happened to be camp
ing near by gave the two wet men shot

themselves.
Sixty-five miles further down Vest
reached the Big Salmon where Mujur
Walsh was camping.' Major Walsh
wanted supplies and lie bought Mr,

yielded 5.811, which, added to the
