Washington Critic.
It is very evident that our Madagascar
neighbors are not we'll acquainted with
the history of our country. On Thursday
afternoon, while standing at the tomb of
Washington, at Mount Vernon, the vener
able Secretary Frelinghuysen was bending
low, apparently in a deep study, when
one of the ENJOYS turned to the interpreter
and asked what troubled the secretary.
The interpreter explained that it was GUS
tomary in the United States for great men
to weep when in the presence of departed
greatness, and that Secretary Frelinghuy-
sen was, no doubt, thinking of the valor
ous deeds of the great Washington, and it
made him sad.
"Who was this Washington ?' asked
the envoy.
The interpreter briefly stated that Gen.
Washington was one of the first to take
up arms in defence of the colonies. and
that he was the first president Of the
United States, and was reverentially called
the Father of his Country.
The envoy in a few minutes walked over
to where Mr.. Frelinghuysen stood, and,
looking up into his sad face, said, in
sorrowful tone Old man, why wasn'
you the father of your country? Ain't
You old enough ?"
When this little speech was translated
to the secretary he walked of, and did moi
during the rest of the day appear friendly
with the inquisitive envoy.
