A QUEER SroRY-Is 1T TRUE2-Judge Mar
shall and Judge Washingtol were on their
way to Mount Vernon; attended by a servant
who had the charge of large portmantsau
containing their clothes. At their last stop
ping place, there happened to be a Scotch
pedlar, with pack of goods which resembled
their portmanteau. The roads were very dzs-
ty, and a little before reaching the Generals },
they, thinking it hardly respectful to present
themselves as they were, stopped in a neigh
boring wood to change their clothes. The
colored man got down bis portmanteau, and
just as they had prepared themselves for their
new garments, out dew some fancy soap and
various Otner articles belonging to the pedlsr,
whose goods had been brought on instead of
their own. They were so much struck by the
CONSERVATION of their servant, and the Ia6i-
crousness of their own position, being there
naked, that they burst into loud and repeated
shouts of laughter. Washington who hap
pened to be out upon his grounds near by,
heard the noise and came to see what might
be the occasion oft, when, finding his frien Is
in that strange plight he was so overcome
with laughter, that he actually rolled upon the
ground
