THE
WASHINGTONS.
Three Hundred Members of the Family
Residing in the United States.
At the dedication of the Washington
National Monument, invitations wore
sent to nearly three hundred member-
of the Washington family, by direct de
scent or by collateral marriages. Tbir
teen gentlemen bearing tho name oi
\\ ashington sat together on tho floor oi
the House of Representatives on tho oc
easion of the dedicatory services, ami
bo-ides, in the gallery there were thirty
ladies who claimed kndrod w th the
family. Washington, of course, had no
direct descendants, but ho had two lia'f
brothers all I one-half sister, as well as
two full brothers and one full sister, all
of whom had families. His sister Bed}
married and left a large family. His
two brothers, Charles and Samuel, in t
married and settled in the valley < f \ ir-
ginia on large and most produc iv
farms. Charlestown, the county seat o
Jefferson County, W. Va., was name I
after Charles Wash ngton. II <brothci
Samuel owned an adjo liing plan
tation
of
nearly • two
thou
sand acres
of
land.
Samuel
was married five t ines, though he died,
at the age of forty-six. The descendants
of Samuel are very numerous.
Those
of Charles, however, a-e comparatively
few. Tho Washington families are
most numerous in Virginia, Tennessee
and Kentucky, but a considerably num
ber of them al o res do ffi Ohio, Minne
sota, Pennsylvania, California and
Georgia, where they have usually set
tled on the most productive farm lands.
As another characteristic it may be
stated that they are unambitious for
public position, but whenever they have
tilled positions of trust they have dis
charged their duties with fidelity. T ie
ability of Judge Bushrod Waslii ngt< n
a member of the Supreme Court, an
his able reports, will suggest themselves
to the minds of every one. Ge nge <'.
Washington, who represented a ¡Mary
land d strict in Congress, was a man of
fair ability. It was h s son, Louis A.
Washington, who was captured by John
Brown, taken to Harper's Ferry, an I
shut up w th h ill when he was besieged
by the United States marines and taken.
A few other Washingtons have stud e I
law, and some medic ne. b'lt the greater
niimb'r of them take to mathematics,
surveying and farming. When they
have engaged in merchandising it lias
usually been in conn< ction with the
management of their estates. Both the
full brothers of Washington were de
ceased before the General. The General
died possessed of large amounts of ex
cellent land in Virginia, West Virginia,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and devised these
lands to his nephews, who were, in con
sequence, put in possession of consider
able estates that made them independ nt,
influential and prosperous citizens in
the neighlHirhood where they lived.
They nearly all married young and left |
families. The Washingtons have al
ways le n fond of the gun, and the
most noted hor emeu of the sections in
which they lived. Their personal ap
pearance, as a class, has been charac
terized by tall, large Isincd frames and
strong, well-cut features. In their
habits they are social and hospitable to
a degree of ext avagance. They have
all been free, good livers, and occasion
ally some have ind ilged too freely ill
spirits, but cases of inebriates among
them are exceptions.— Hen Perley I

THE
SENOUSSITES.
Molininmed>tn Sect with an Uncompro-
liiialng Hatred of Christianity.
The Senoussite sect, founded in North
Africa about tho m'ddlc of tho present
century by an Arab of the Boni Senous
tribe, from neighborhood of Tlemson, in
Algeria, s organ zed on the system of
secret soe'eties of Europe, with uncom
promising hostility to Christian civiliza
tion as its ma'nspring of action. From
its cradle in the Tripolitan Sahara it has
extend d its ramifications through all
North Africa, from the Somali coast to
the mouth of tho Senegal. M. Henri
Duveyrier, the eminent explorer of the
rahara. estimates the number of the
khouan, or brothers, at not less than a
million and a half, while that figure
may probably bo doubled. “Each of
these adepts," he says, “is not only ipso
facto a missionary, but is ready at tile
signal of his superior to transform him
self into propagandist agent, a soldier,
a bravo or even a cowardly prisoner.”
To the agency of the sect lie
ascribes many resent risings in Algeria,
and numerous massacres of European
travelers, such as that of Mlle. Tinne's
party in tho Soudan in 1869
and of the Flatters Missies in the Al
gerian Sahara in 1881. The Sultans of
Morocco nnd Wadai are bolieved to be
more or less subservient to its decrees,
while its inllueuce is felt as a disturbing
element In many cities of Egypt,
notiblv in Tant ah and throughout the
land of Yemen on the further shore of
the Red Sen. Musselmans, tainted with
Western ideas, are hold by it in a like
abhorrence witli the odious Nazarene,
and its watchword is that Turks and
Christians, being on a level, must be
annihilated by the same blow. The
founder of the society, dying in 1859,
transmitted his authority to his non.
Sidi Mohammed-ben-Ali-os-Senoussi, the
present Sheik, regards«! throughout
North Africa with a reverence almost
eclipsing that felt ftjr Mohammed him
self. Like his Soudanese rival, heela ms
the titlc of Mahdi; hence a coalition of
tho two, despite tho identity of their
aims, was always, on personal grounds,
improbable. There was. indoed, a cer
tain effervescence of enthusiasm for Mo
hammed Ahmed among Senoussi’s fol
lowers immediately on the fall of Kbar-
toun* but it rapidly subsided with the
subsequent wane in the fortunes of the
Warrior Prophet Of the Soudan. — Gen
tleman's Magazine.
Believed in Fortifying.
A tramp entered a Washington saloon
the other day and blandly a-sked the bar
tender:
“Can you tell me, sir, if Congress has
passed tho Fortification bill?”
“Well, ’sposen it has or hasn’t,what's
that got to do with you?”
"Oil. nothing much, only I feel a good
deal run down and would like to fortify
a little. I thought mebbe, in case Con
gress had made an appropriation, you
might fortify me about *en cents worth
and charge it to the Government.
Your forty-rod will fortify as well as
any tiling e'se, so don't hand out the
best bottle.”
Th bartender was about to hand out
Il's lest bung-starter when the tramp
made a hurried exit. — Washington
Critic.
Don’t Spread Too Much.
Young fancier, don’t imagine that
you are destined to sit upon the h'ghest
pinnacle of poultry famo the first year
of your experience, nor even the second:
don't for one moment think you will
spring into such prominence as that en
joyed by Spaulding. Felch, Williams
and others, by a few short years of
bree ling and car ng for poultry. Don't,
please don't try to commence with a
dozen different breeds at < nee, b it
choose a variety that suits your la to,
and d' vote your attenfon to that un
til you thoroughly understand the ait
of breeding it up to tho desired stand

other good breed, but don t be in a
hurry about it.— ICeslern Plowman.
