of the leader of all those courageous , Hamilton dash on to victory in the re-
men, the one who before all others car
ried to an nstonishing and successful
achievement the herculean labors of
bringing victorious a handful of ragged
and untrained soldiers through the dark
ness of n struggle with one of the most
powerful countries on earth, certainly
nothing now needs be said.
As a young man, Washington was prob
ably no less Ihppiut and worldly than
hundreds of others in the colonies. Ills
manuers, which hare been thought extra
ordinary in their courtliness, were prob
ably not the slightest bir more so than
those of the majority of bis acquaint
ances. He was not free from the faults
of men of bis time. He was accustomed
to methodical exactness from bis exieri
ence on his mother's plantation and to
her he no doubt owed mauy of the traits
which afterwards stood him in sncb good
stead, l'rom his school teachers, Wil
liam Hobby, who was also the church
M'Xton, aud Thomas Williams, be learn
ed to read and to write as well as to un
derstand the art of computation. The
latter of the two also gave him the rudi
ments of surveying which served as much
as any other one thing to develop bim in
to the general of the American forces.
For it wns on account of his knowledge
of this science that be spent three of
his years of early manhood In the wilds
of the fo routs, running lines, determin
ing levels, fixing boundaries. His wages
at this time were siilllcieut to enable bim
to purchase large pieces of that trackless
wilderness bordering ou streams, which
were afterwards of great value, thus de
veloping bis Insight nnd shrewdness as a
business man. Hut the lesons that he
learned from that rugged nature In the
kolitary hours, were vriceless, nnd the
constitution that was hardened by his
life lu the woods enabled him in after
years to endure uutolu strains of expos
ure and suffering, to rescue Uraddock af
ter tbaf geuerul's defeat by the French,
to conceive the crossing of the Delaware
on that bleak and cheerless December
night, to undergo Valley Forge and to
emerge from them all, the modest, self
contained, reserved gentleman. It was
because of his knowledge of the ways of
the forest that he was sent on that
seemingly needless erruud to warn the
French off Knglish territory in the win
ter of 175:1-51, ou which he quitted him
self well iumI learned his first lessons In
practical warfure. The next year he
wan chosen to go with Uraddock on his
Ill-fated expedition against the French.
Here it wns that Washington learned for
the first time, that Americans were of
Just as good stuff as Englishmen, that
they could fight just ns bravely as the
hcnsoncd veterans of the mother country.
J-'or It wns through the efforts of the
"bUBh-whucklng" Virginians that Urad
dock's force escaped entire destruction.
The coloiilots knew better than did Urad
dock that the evolutions of the parade
ground were of no avail In the sort of
warfare In which they were at that time
engaged. The physical strain undergone
by Washington at this time was extra
ordinary. From the ninth to the six
teenth of (hat July, he had little ileep,
walking mid riding, sometimes all night
long through the forett, nnd succeeding
In bringing up some support for Urad
dock's retreating army. He wns then
25 years old. In the course of that one
expedition he had keen enough to give
him an uucuuiiieniblc fnlth In the vulor
mid abilities of bis fellow colonists. This
fnlth, it may have been, that so upheld
him through the dark hours of defeat and
intrigue, when his army well nigh per
ished from lack of food und clothing.
Washington had no laen, even when the
colonies were being greatly roused over
the Injustice of their treatment by Eng
land, that the end would be war. Jle
did not desire war. And It was only when
there wns no other wny to decide the
momentous question of principle that he
Mt his heart on hostilities. The cour
age of the uiiiii In accepting the position
of commnmlcr-in-clilef which wns offered
to him by the nHsembly was sublime,
The mother country could semi hundreds
of thoiisiimls of trained soldiers against 1
the colonists: her shins ruled the hens. I
Ou the other hand, the colonists were a
few thousands, undisciplined In any war
fare except that nguinst the Indians;
their resources were comparatively Insig
nificant, It seems as If thcra could haro
been but one outcome. Hut Washington
modestly undertook the task, refusing
lirst any money remuuncratlon for the
services he might render. And then his
mgucity as a commander began to display
iuclf. Quietly did he collect stores and
doubts at Yorktown be must have felt

it beat the faster, for he knew that

he stepped out of the position of com
mander-In-cblef of the victorious army,
asking no reward, and quietly returned
to the privacy of bis own home, he fore
shadowed the character of the nation he
bad so largely helped to make. It should
be a nation of Itself, not dependent on
England or any other country under the
globe for Its customs or Its policy. It
was to embody principles hitherto un
heard of In the nunals of history. It was
even in the distant future to take upon
itself the yoke of a burdened and op
pressed people, to free them from their
oppression and to give them back their
country with no thought of price or ad
vantage. And yet this was a man.
NEWS TRAVELED SLOWLY.

Jieforc New York Knew It,
Had George Washington lived nnd died
nt the close of the present century In
stead of the last his death would havo
been known at all four corners of the
globe Inside two or three hours, whereas
It was not known that he had passed
away for several duys afterward. Even
in Philadelphia, the old capital of the
United States, where the Sixth Congress
had just assembled, It was not known
that Washington was dead until Dec. 10
two days afterward.
News traveled slowly In those days;
cable, telegraph, telephone nud postal fa
cilities were nn unknown quantity, nnd
it took duys and weeks to truusmit Infor
mation then, where seconds and minutes
figure now lu this rupid age of invention
and improvement.
The Alexandria Times wus the first
newspaper to announce Washington's
denth, printing on Monduy, Dec. 1(1, a
single paragraph obituary, thus: "It Is
ouf painful duty first to announce to our
country and to the world the death of
Gen. George Washington. This mourn
