a SENrENTIoUs SPEECH BY WAsuINGToN.-
An aged citizen of Hartford relates the fol-
lowing reminiscence of Washington. We
copy from the Boston Journal:
When Washington made his progress to the
Northern States in 1893, he avoided, as was
proper, under the circumstances, passing
through Rhode Island, which had not then
accepted the Constitution. The nearest point
to that State at which he stopped was the
town of Planfeld, Connecticut, where he
passed night. A large party of ladies from
Providence had made the journey to Plain
field to see him. The throng of citizens of
the town ana surrounding parts was so great
that these ladies, who were assembled in a
room in the hotel opposite to that in which
the reception was held, after waiting many
hours, were almost in despair of their ob
iect, when the Committee Of Arrangements
stated their case to Washington and proposed
that he afford them the qualification of seeing
him 10y going TO the room where they We're.
To this, with his accustomed gallantry, he at
once assented Entering the ROOM he placed
himself in an elevated position, bowed to the
ladies, and uttered these words Ladies
If you have come so far to see an old man
how far would you goto see a yonng one ?
