UNPUBLISHED ANECDOTFS oF
WASHINGTON


As what relates to the Father Of his
Country seems the inheritance of our nation
the following incidents-for which we are
indebted to Dr. Alfred Langdon EIwyn Of
this properly belong to the public.
They are told in the unpublished journal Of
one of the Signers Of the Declaration of In
dependence-an authority which places
their reality beyond doubt; and they are of
interest, as revealing the inmost thonehts
IN critical periods of some of the PRINCIPAL
men of the Revolution.
Shortly after Washington was appointed
BY Congress eommander-in-chief-that is in
the latter part Of May or the beginning of
June, IT'S; the exact date given in the dia-
ry is MT remembered-after the battle of
Lexington, but before the Revolutionary
War had fairly begun, some intimate friends
gave dinner to the general at the Grays
Ferry Tavern, near Philadelphia, on the op-
poslte bank of the Schuylkill. The party,
OF whom the journalist was one, consisted,
besides Washington himself, of DR.. Frank
In, John Adams, John Langdon, Thomas
Jefferson, and DR. Benjamin Rush. After
dinner, John Adams, filing his glass, rose
and said: L propose the health of the com
mander in-chief of the American forces ~
Washington's face became little sufused
with emotion and he started back in his
chair, but said nothing. The Others filed
their glasses and stood up, exchanging
looks. As by an electric fash, while they
glanced into each others eyes, the feeling
came over all that the occasion was too grave
for hilarity; the prospect of an uncertain
civi! war rose darkling before their minds.
and, their wine untasted, they sat down in
silence

ANTE MORTEM OBITUARIES.

The enterprise of journalists recently in
preparing obituaries, has furnished theme
for no little fun in some quarters, and has
been the cause of many grave anecdotes. 1t
is related of one editor that he had an elab-
crate sketch of General Wool prepared sey-
eral years since, but having mislaid it in
the meantime, while the old hero existed,
could not find it when it was needed, and
serious amount of labor and research was
entailed in preparing another article. Il
seems, however, that the English journalists
have exceeded ours in this matter Indeed,
it is likely that the fate ofa British obituarist
may include the necessity of preparing his
own epitaph before that Of many notabih-
ty, whom he has obituarized, is published.
This is said to have been thL case with
biographer Of Lord Brougham, who wrote
an article chronicling the death of that 40
bleman yesterday" almost eighteen years
before the event, and twelve years before
his own. When, six years after his own
death, that of Lord Brougham occurred,
another hand took down the yellowed man
uscript from its dusty pigeon hole and com

aid, who was graduate Of Union College,
wrote, in 1861. long and elaborate sketch
of the Rev. DIR. Mott, the venerable presi-
dent Of that institution, forwhich the man
aging editor" Of that enterprising journal
gave him hundred dollars down, and con-
tracted to give him another hundred when
the subject of the ante-mortem article should
depart this life. DIR. Mott did dot die until
January %, 1866. During this interval of
FIVE years between the writing Of his eulo-
CYSTIC obituary by his former pupil and the
doctor death, the writer, like most report
ers, became quite hard up, and was wont
to remark that sold Mott clung to life with
fearful tenacity. He told me when be gave
me the facts contained IN my sketch Of his
life and character that he could not live a
year, which is the only lie ever knew him
to tell; but such is my luck, you know!

THE HOLY GRAIL.

Many, doubtless, like ourselves, have
been not little perplexed as TO the mean
ing Of these strangely sounding words, the
theme Of the New Poem with which the
Laureate of England is now delighting his
countrymen, as he soon will ours. We find
in one Of our English exchanges this solu-
ton;
The Holy Grail was cup made Of sin
gle precious stone, from which the Saviour
Of Mankind was said to have drunk at the
Last Supper, which was afterwards filed
with blood flowing from His wounds on the
cross, and which was said to have teen
brought into this country by Joseph Of Ar
imathea. According to the old legend, this
mystical vessel miraculously disappeared
one day from the custody of its keeper; and
thenceforth it was the highest ambition Of
all worthy knights to 60 in search Of it, ard
if possible, to effect its recovery. The
