Mount Vernon.

During tho war. while the bloodiest battles
on the Potomac were being fought. the Southern
and Northern troops fraternized on the spot and
not shot was fired nor o blow exchanged on
the domain of Mount Vernon. It was neutral
ground. The soldiers exchanged coffee and
tobacco and lolled amicably together under the
trees, then went hack to shooting and killing
each other as soon as they of the sacred ground.
The most irreverent ecoffer must walk with
reverence through the ancient frame house in
which 80 much of our history Ia embalmed
Hanging in the hall is the great key of the
Bsstile, sent to Washington by Lafayette, and
near it Is the Generals feldglsss hung on Its
rack by Washington himself, aud never distur-
bed. OF all the memories of Mount Vernon none
are more interesting than those of Eleanor

In eu,e room stands her harpsichord, an i'm
mense machine, just the size Of grand piano OF
the present day, with two banks of keys like an
organ. Beside it are some ancient blue chairs
embroidered by her fingers century ago, In
the grounds stand her rosebush. beside which
tradition says. she received her first offer. and
which the guileless and credulous of her sex are
persuaded to walk around six times to bring a
similar event about. One of the ingenuities OF
Regents of Mount Vernon was to have magnln-
cent Turkish rugs made to resemble as far as
possible the rug carpets which were the hoor
coverings in Martha Washiugton's day. and for
that purpose scraps of the rag carpets were
sent abroad to be as nearly simulated as posi-
bic. And way up high, under the roof, Is
little hip-hoofed, dormer windowed rookery,
which, after General Washington's death, bis
widow chose as her own room, because it was
from that window. only that view could be bad
of the hideous brick tomb in which the mortal
part Of the General lay.
