T Is impossible at this day to add aay-thina-
of a new character to the ac-
count of men and events of a hundred
years and more ago, for the field ot his
tory, in so fir as it relates to the Ameri
can revolution and the men who were
representative in its accomplishment, has
been well explored and voluminously ex
pounded by hundreds of men equal to the
task. Nor is there a school child of 10
years In all this country, who has not
written his essay on these same men and
events, so that their history is in-burned
in the minds or all Americans. i im
is one of the hopeful sigus of the dispo
sition of a great people towards those
who called its nation into existence. Aud
of the leader of all those courageous
men, the one who before all others car
ried to an astonishing ana successiui
achievement the herculean labors of
bringing victorious a handful ot ragged
and untrained soldiers through the dark
ness of a struggle with one of the most
powerful countries on earth, certaiuly
nothing now needs be said.
As a yonng man, wasuitigtou was proo-
ably no less flippant and worldly man
hundreds of others In the colouies. Uis
manners, which have been thought extra
ordinary in their courtliness, were prob
ably not the slightest bit more so than
those of the majority or Dis acquaint
ances. He was not free from the faults
of men of his time. He was accustomed
to methodical exactness from his experi
ence on his mother's plantation and to
her he no doubt owed many of the traits
which afterwards stood him in such good
stead. From bis school teachers, u-
liam Hobby, who was also the cuurcn
sexton, and Thomas Williams, he 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 mncn
as any other one thing to develop him in
to the general of the American forces.
For it was on account ot his knowledge
of thia science that he spent tnree or
his rears of early manhood In the wilns
of the forests, running lines, aciermin
ing levels, fixing boundaries. Uis wage
at this time were sufficient to enable him
to purchase large pieces of that trackless
wilderness bordering on Btreams, nuicu
were afterwards of great value, thus de
veloping his insight and shrewdness as a
business man. But ' the lesons that he
learned from that rugged nature in the
solitary hours, were priceless, and the
constitution that was hardened by his
life in the woods enabled him in after
years to endure untold strains of expos
ure and suffering, to rescue Braddock af
ter that general'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, sen-
contained, reserved gentleman. It was
because of his knowledge of the ways of
the forest that 'he was sent on that
seemingly needless errand to warn the
French off English territory in the win
ter of 1753-54, on which be quitted him
self well and learned his first lessons in
nractical warfare. The next year he
was chosen to go with Braddock on his
ill-fated expedition against the French.
Here it was that Washington learned for
the first time, that Americans were of
Just as good stuff as Englishmen, that
they could fight just as nraveiy as tne
seasoned veterans ot the mother couutry.
For it was through the efforts of the
"bush-whacking" Virginians that Brad
dock's force escaped entire destruction.
The colonists knew better than did Brad
dock that the evolutions of the parade
ground were of no avail in the sort of
warfare in wnicb tney were at tnat time
engaged. The physical strain undergone
by Washington at this time was extra
ordinary. From the ninth to tne six
teenth of that July, he. had little sleep,
walking and riding, sometimes all night
long through the forest, and succeeding
in bringing np some support tor Hrad-
dock's retreating army. He was then
25 years old. In the coarse of that one
expedition he bad seen enougli to give
bira an unconquerable faith In tne vmor
and abilities of his fellow colonists. This
faith, it may have been, that so upheld
him through the dark hours of defeat aud
intrigue, when his army well nigh per
ished from lack of food and clothing.
Washington bad no idea, even when the
colonies were being greatly roused over
the injustice of their treatment by Eng
land, that the end would be war. lie
did not desire war. And it was only when
there was no other way to decide the
momentous question of principle that be
set bis heart on hostilities. The cour
age of the man in accepting the position
of commander-in-chief which was offered
to him by the assembly was sublime.
The mother country could send hundreds
of thousands of trained soldiers against
the colonists; her ships ruled the seas.
On the other band, the colonists were a
few thousands, undisciplined iu any war-!
fare except that agaiust the Indiuns;
their resources were comparatively insig
nificant. It seems as if there could have
been but one outcome. But Washington
modestly undertook the task, refusing
first any money remiiuncration for the
services he might render. And then bis
sagacity as a commander began to display
itself. Quietly did be collect stores and
ammunition and prepare for the struggle.
The retreats which be managed In the
following years were almost as inspiring
as the victories be planned. His must be
a waiting game to a great extent, and
how well be played it history tells. He
compelled England to recognize the trou
ble as more than a mere insurrection
and secured thus the rights of civilized
warfare.
How great the odds were against Gen.
Washington can never be rightly esti
mated. Time and again was bis army
on the point of dissolving away. There
were many true hearts in the Congress;
but there were many, also, who still lean
ed a little towards England, fearing that
the new order of things would never be
successful. There was only half-heart
Jflf'iS -5!.-' .'H
ed support for the commander-in-chief.,
I Jealousy Inspired otneers to scheme
I .ninaf him. Monet was often scarce
and sometimes uot to be had. His men
were sometimes without , food, barefoot
ed, and half clothed. Through all these
trving years Gen. Washington had to
rely mainly on himself. His volume ot j
correstmndence was enormous. Thousands
of letters did he write, urglug Congress,
the governors, the Influential men ot the
colonies to take this or that step, to
raise men or money, to help on the work.
He was the revolution. Almost always
he had perfect control of his temper,
which was by no means mild, and over
bis passions and his positive, aggressive
spirit. But sometimes the overwhelming
injustice ot his treatment by Congress
must have been a sore temptation to
him. And when he watched the Intrepid
Hamilton dash on to victory In the re
doubts at Yorktown be must have felt
the weight of the heavy burden he was
bearing rise from hia great heart so that
it beat the faster, for he knew that
should Cornwallis surrender the war
would probably result victoriously for the
American arms.
The same quiet, firm, far-scelng charac
ter led him through the years of his life
after he had laid down his sword. When
he stepped out of the position of commander-in-chief
of the victorious army,
asking no reward, and quietly returned
to the privacy of his own home, he fore
shadowed the character ot the nation he
had so largely helped fo 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 enioouy principles oiwhio un
heard ot in the annals of history. It was
even in the distant future to take upon
itself the yoke of a burdened and op-
pressed people, io free them from their
oppression and to give them back their
country with no thongbt ot price or ad
vantage. And yet this was a man.
NEWS TRAVELED SLOWLY.
Washington Waa In the Tomb Two Days
Before New York Knew It,
nad George Washington lived and died
at the close of the present century in
stead of the last his death would have
been known at all four corners ot the
globe inside two or three hours, wheress
it was not known that he had passed
away for several days 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 and postal fa
cilities were an unknown quantity, and
it took days and weeks to transmit infor
mation then, where seconds and minutes
figure now in this rapid age of invention
and improvement.
The Alexandria Times was the first
newspaper to announce Washington's
ilrnth. nrlnting on Monday. Dec. Hi, a
single paragraph obituary, thus: "It is
our naiuful duty first to announce to our
nimtrv and to the world the death of
Gen. George Washington. This mourn
ful event occurred last Saturday evening
about 11 o'clock. On the previous night
he was attacked with a violent innamma
tory affliction in his throst, which in less
than twenty-four hours put a period to
his life."
The New York papers did not get the
news ot Wash ngtou's death until Uec,
19. and It was four days later when the
Boston paper published their first iu
formation. President Adams issued a
proclamation advising all citizens to wear

a midsummer day she cut out thirty-two
pairs of breeches for the men working
on the farm. She had said that she and
the general felt like children just releas

settling down again to the 'duties of an

Washington In French Eyes.
Eugene llobert, In the Revue Chre
tienrie, the leading I'rcnch rellgioui
monthly, has an excellent article on the
life and character of the great American
who Is not nearly as well known In
France as Is Franklin, but whose life
contains many lessons for the French.
The tales he tells of Washington during
the war and of the simple nature that re
fused a higher office than that of the
President must seem astounding to his
readers. M. Itobcrt says that two grand
sentiments were the soul of Washington's
life, an ardent love for the fatherland,
to which he sacrificed all, and his invaria
ble fidelity to duty, In which he whs un
influeuced by considerations of friendship
or by the fear of enemies. The secret
of his character is found in faith, for he
had faith in his cause, his people, their
future, and in God. That gave him a
confidence that brought him victory io
peace as well as iu war-
