The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1875-07-24

The following words are inscribed al
the foot of the coffin :-"By the permission
Of Lawrence Lewis, the surviving executor
Of George Washington, this sarcophagu.
was presented by John Struthers, of Phil
adelphia, marble mason, A. d. 1897
The body Of the illustrious patriot, raised
by six men, was carried and laid in the
marble coffin, and, the pOnderous cover
being put on and set in cement, it was
sealed from sight on Saturday, the 18th
day Of October, 1887. George Washing
ton was born February 22, 1872, and died
December IA, 1893, aged 81 years, Q
months and 22 days. His beloved wife,
Martha cambridge Custis Washington,
died May q, 1901, aged II years Her
remains are tombed in a plain marble
sarcophagus by the side Of her illustrious
husband. The sarcOphagus is seen on the
left as one looks through the picketed gate
at the tomb.
In the pleasant shade in front Of the
tomb, and on the right side Of the walk
leading from the la stands monu-
ment erected to the memory Of Judge
Bushrod Washington and his wife, Anna
Blackburn, bearing these words on its side
facing the tomb ;--"Within the vault lie
buried the mortal remains Of Bushrod
Washington, an Associate Justice Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States. He
died in Philadelphia, November 26, 1929,
aged SO. By his side is inferred his de-
voted wife, Anna Blackburn, who survived
her husband but two days, aged 60. aThe
heart was broken and aches no more. -
"Thsy were lovely and pleasant in their
lives, and in death they were not divided" /"
On the left side of the walk leading
from the landing stands monument cree
ted to the memory Of John A. Washing
ton, the second, with these words on its
side facing the tomb SACRED to the
memory of John A. Washington, and
nephew Of Judge Bushrod Washington,
who appointed him one of his executors,
and bequeathed him Mount Vernon, where
he died June 9, 1882, aged A." On the
side facing the monument Of Bushrod and
Anna Blackburn Washington are the fol-
lowing words :--"His mortal remains are
inferred within the vault, and this humble
monument to his worth, his purity, and
unostentatious excellence in all relations
Of life, is erected by his widow
One of the two monuments inelosed by
iron ratings, at the right of the tomb, was
erected to the memory of Mrs. Elenor
Parke Lewis, granddaughter Of General
Washington ;-"Reared under the roof Of
the Father of his Country, this lady was
not more marked while living for her
beauty Of person than for the superiority
Of her mind. She lived to be admired,
and died to be regretted, in the 74th year
Of her age"

in Massachusetts, where he supported him
self by his trade as blacksmith.
This circumstantial account satisfied
people at first, but when. the letter was
shown to Robert Jcfrey's mother she
pointed out that not only was 1t written in
a strange hand, but that it was not even
signed by her son, who could write well
enough, aud was very unlikely to make
his mark, as the man who vouched for the
genuineness Of this epistle had done. This
objection naturally carried weight, and
many people suspected that the evidence
of George Hassel aud of the letter had
been got up by the captain, who was anx-
ious to prove the man to be alive, and SO
escape from the odium which attached to
him.
Finally ship was sent to bring this
protesting Robert jeffrey to England,
where he arrived in due course, and proved
to bo the right man safe enough, certain
shyness and diffidcnce which he felt in the
presence Of the gentlemen who had drawn
up his report being the cause Of his max
ing cross instead Of signing it. He
landed at Portsmouth 10 the October Of
1910, three years after the event which
had caused him to become a public char
acter. The Admiralty forwarded him
under the charge Of naval officer to Pol
perro, where the entire population recog-
nized him, and his arrival was made the
occasion Of great public rejoicing.
But before settling down in his native
place he accepted an offer from the man
ager Of London theatre to exhibit him
self for certain number of nights, and as
it became the rage to go and see Jeffrey
the Sailor" he made rather good thing
oft. These profits were presently swelled
by sum Of six hundred pounds, which
was paid him by the family of the captain
in acquittal Of all claims he might have
against that officer, who was still liable to
civil action, and in the excited state of
public opinion was likely to be cast in
heavy damages.
After the lapse of few months, when
he ceased to "draw," jeffrey returned to
Cornwall with money enough to purchase
coasting schooner; married, and, if this
were fiction, would have lived happily
forever afterwards. But the story being
perfectly true one, Robert jeffrey was
subject to all those ills which afflict ordi-
nary mortals who have never been the
subjects of popular sympathy or curiosity.
He failed to make his schooner pay, and
he died early of consumption, leaving his
wife and daughter in great poverty.

everything, so different from its usual look
of cosy comfort. A bright June sunlight

his knee, and tries to tell them mamma
has gone; but they want her sadly here;
they cannot think why the Good Father
should want her so much more.
