His bootblack once failed to polish the general’s huge boots all the way up a task performed every morn ing—and the father of his country beat the luckless darky over the head with them. Washington was hot-tempered. He wanted John Marshall, afterward the famous justice, to run for Congress and sent for him to explain his wishes. Marshall told Washington he was too poor, he could not afford to give up his business and incur the expense. While thus opposing Washington's wishes Marshall says he never received such a torrent of abuse in his life, lie feared Washington would jump on him from across the table, but the row ended in Marshall remaiiing Washington's guest for a week, ami then running for Congress and being elected. Washington was thoroughly up’ight and honest in his dealings with men. James Parton «aid he had a genius for rectitude. Jefferson, who did not like him, said his justice was the most Inflexible he had ever known and that no motives of friendship or hatred were able to bias his decision. Washington was a faithful attendant at church and was a vestryman, but he took no active part iu church affairs outside its business relations. WHERE HONOR IS DUE.

The visitor drank his coffee from his saucer; but lest any grief should come to the snowy damask, he laboriously scraped the bottom of his «•up on the saucer’s edge before setting it down on the tablecloth. He did it with sin h audible vigor that it attracted my at tention, and that of several young people present, always on the alert for occasions of laughter. We were so indiscreet as to allow our amusement to become obvious. Gen.

The next day Payne got s note from Washington asking him to come to the hotel. He expected a duel, but went. Washington, however, was in an amiable mood. He felt that he had been in the wrong, and said: "Mr. Payne, I was wrong yesterday, but if you hare had suf ficient satisfaction, let us lie friends.” There was a decanter of wine and two glasses on the table which Washington had ordered to smooth over the quarrel.
