WASHINGTON.

One hundred and twenty-seven years ago
to-day was born one of the worlds represent
alive men," GEORGE WASHINGTON. His was
type of greatness peculiar to himself; and
hence, to compare him with any other distin-
guished parsonage who has attracted the
worlds admiration, is to do justice to neither.
There have been far greater men, Intellectual
ly, than Washington; and even in the great
characters which he SO ably personifed-war-
rior and statesman-there have been his supe-
riors. AS illustrations, we may cite Bonaparte
and the elder Pitt But Washington excelled
both in his spotless patriotism, and moral
greatness. 1t is in these that he towers above
the worlds great, either of ancient or modern
times. He was a compound of all that rem
ders man truly ilustrious; and all the ele-
ments were SO mixed and balanced as to form
perfect model. He possessed a strong, even
Unbalanced intellect, sound common sense, the
sternest integrity, and patriotism without
bemish. These made him morally great and
this, we conceive, is his true character
Washington possessed wisdom rather than ge-
MUS and hence, all his actions harmonized. If
he possessed ambition, that passion was so reg
ulatedby principle, that it became neither turbu-
lent nor vicious. 1t sought not his own aggran-
dizement, but the sole welfare of his country
The high offices to which he was called by the
public voice, were unsought by himself; and
in consenting to fill them, he seems to have
yielded to an honest conviction that thereby
the best interests of his country would be pro-
NOTED. A man so constituted, would be equal
ly great in adversely or prosperity; and it has
been truly said that his patience, his forbear-
ance, his fir1nness in adverse as well as in pros
porous events, proved of more solid advantage
to his country than his bravery and talents
Thus, while there have been those who have
excelled Washington in transcendant abilities
statesmen who have ranked higher in the
council chamberlain generals who have out
shone him in the briiancy of military achieve
ments, there are few, if any, who have equal
led him in the purity of his character. The
basis of his fame, therefore, is MORAL GREAT
NESS. He served his country without selfish
ambition-he served man without mercenary
promptings, and God without hypocrisy. What
a glorious example Yet how few there are
who follow it!

PERSONAL.

a letter from Lawrence, Kansas, to the Jour
nal contains the following paragraph
"A Bill divorcing Mrs. Frances q. Coburn
from Edward o. Coburn, and restoring both
parties to their original rights, was introduced
in the House yesterday, and will probably pass
both branches. Mr. and Mrs c., as your read
ers will recollect, figured prominently in the
events upon which the Dalton divorce trial was
founded. Mrs c. is now residing in this city
with her sister, Mrs. Dalton. The evidence
before the special committee, to whom the bill
was referred was to the effect that the parties
had not lived together for many months, and
that there were irreconcilable difficulties be-
tween them. That satisfied the committee
that divorce should be granted; and as sew
eral have already been granted at this session
on similar showing, this is likely to go through
unquestioned 1t is certainly convenient and
economical method of seycring the bonds OF
Hymen."
Mr., William Smith O'Brien is on board the
Prince Albert, and will reach New York on
Monday or Tuesday. Mr.. O'Brien was the
leader of the Young Ireland party in 1S4S, was
convicted of high treason" transported, and
subsequently pardoned. The object of his
visit to America has not been stated. He is
now quite advanced in life, and it is to be pre-
sumed is too wise to suffer himself to be the vic
tim of a New York reception, if so vulgar a
thing should be proposed Boston Courier
The second poem in the estimation of the
judges who decided in favor of Miss lisa Craig's
Burns Poem, was written by boy of fifteen,
named Myers, and is considered quite as ex
traordinary performance for boy as any
thing of Chatterton's. 1t is peculiarly refined
and artful in expression, and elaborate in met
rical structure; but it is said that the thoughts
do not equal the polish Of the style.

THE DEATH AND BURIAL OF WASHINGTON.


As an interesting memorial on this anniver-
sary, we copy from THE Spy of January l,
1900, the following official announcement, to
President Adams, of the death of Washington.
Also, an account of the ceremonies attending
his funeral:
MOUNT VERNON, Dec 10, 1893.
Sir 1t is with inexpressible grief, that L
have to announce to you the death OF the great
and good General WASHINGTON. He died
last evening between ten and eleven o'clock,
after a short illness of about twenty-tour hours.
His disorder was an infammatory sore-throat,
which proceeded from cold, Of which he
made but little complaint on Friday. On Sat
urday morning, about three o'clock, he became
ill. DIR. Craik attended him in the morning,
and DIR. Dick, of Alexandria, and DIR. Brown,
of Port Tobacco, was soon after called In
Every medical assistance was offered, but
without the desired effect. His last scene cor
responded with the whole tenor of his life. Not
a groan nor complaint escaped him, in ex-
IRENE distress With perfect resignation, and
full possession of his reason he closed his
well spent life. have the honor to be, &c.

DEATH OF REV. j. H. FAIRcHILD.-Rev
j. H. Fairchild died at his residence in South
Boston, Monday morning He had another at
tack Of paralysis on Friday last, from which he
did not rally, but gradually sunk away until
Monday morning, when he died. The history
of Mr.. Fairchild will doubtless be recollected
by most of our readers. While engaged as
pastor of q church at South Boston he was
accused of a gross criminal act, which he de-
MED at the time, and has ever since asserted
his innocence. The charge was investigated
by the civil tribunals and he was acquitted by
a jury of his countrymen, but his brethren in
the ministry, at least the greater portion of
them, still retained so much doubt of his inno-
cence that they did not feel justified in restor-
ing him to the fellowship OF the churches.
Through all his trials he had those about him,
members of his former church and society who
believed him innocent and who organized a
religious church and society in South Boston,
and installed him as their pastor. He remain
ed in this position until some two or three
years ago, when he resigned and the society
dissolved Mr.. Fairchild was man of more
than ordinary talent, and in his younger days
was an able and attractive pulpit orator.

SILVER IN ARIzoNA.-A private letter adj
dressed to Simeon Leland, Esq, of the Metro
polltan Hotel in this city, gives some interest
ing information in regard to silver mines in
Arizona. A company got up to work an old
Mexican mines have been building houses
and have done something towards clearing
out the shafts. Another company, started
at Cincinnati, have purchased large tract of
land, covering several mines, and are now
working new vein, which is said to be the
richest mine in the world. They have found
specimens near the surface that yield fifty three
per cent, or $4,000 per ton; and the average
has been over $40 per ton of all that has been
smelted. They are getting up extensive
amalgamation works, with which they mean
to turn out at least $4,000 per day.
The company is incorporated, and has a cap
ital of two millions, but have sold no more
stock than is necessary to raise money for the
work, The company now employ one hundred
hands, mainly Mexican Poems. 1t is said that
there is no end to the amount Of silver there,
but there is scarcity of water to run the ma
chinery. The old mines were worked, over
hundred years ago, by Spaniards, but they
were driven off by the Apache Indians about
thirty years ago, since which the mines have
not been opened There is no danger from the
Indians now, although they occasionally steal
cattle-Neo0 York Tribune.

SLAVERY ABOLISHED IN KANsAs.-We find
the following, under date of the Sth, in the
Lawrence correspondence of the Leayenworth
Times =
Council bill to abolish and prohibit slavery
was then taken up, with only two hours to in
sure the Governors signature or compel him
to return it. An exciting scene occurred
None like it has occurred this season. The
friends of the House bill admitted the Coun-
Gil bill was not what they wanted in all re-
spects, but that DIR. Root should not be allowed
to carry their bill in his pocket for four weeks
as the confidential agent Of the Governor, for
the purpose of defeat. The most persistent
efforts were made to prevent final action by
few members but the matter was pressed
through and a final vote was taken Mt II P.
M, when, by large majority, slavery was
abolished and forever prohibited in the terrific
ry of Kansas.

@- "The Double-Headed Snake of New.
bury" the subject of Whittier's poem in the
last number of the Atlantic Monthly, was sug-
gested by letter written in 1924 by the Rev.
Christopher Toppan of Newbury, to Cotton

History of Newbury, page 1856. The following
lines from the poem will forcibly remind the
reader Of the movements of our present Con
gress
For he carried head where the tail should be,
And the two, of course, could never agree.
But wriggled about with main and mjght
Now to the left, and now to the right;
Pulling and twisting, this way and that
Neither knew what the other was AT.

William Penn, like pure gold, shines the bright
er for being rubbed; while the new British
Lord, who doggedly persists in error after it
has been proved upon him, is becoming dam
aged article A new writer has entered the
field against Macaulay-John Paget, British
barrister-and with the conscientious industry
of a searcher loyal only to truth, and with the
cold, exhaustive, and merciless logic of Judge

public reliance on facts, of Smollet, and to find
