The True Washington Memorial.
By O. B. FROTHINGHAM.


From the June Atlantic.
II the Government owned Mount Vernon;
could maintain there half dozen of its infrm
soldiers: could place there its relics of Washing
ton; could consecrate the home as national
shrine. place Of pilgrimage; could clear away
the desecrating refuse of lunch baskets and re-
store the lovely spot to its noblest associations,
the monument of marble would be useless, and
might be taken down. Mount Vernon would
be true memorial of Washington. Here peo-
pie could see how he lived from day to day. His
library might be replaced on its old shelves; for
though the original books are scattered, their
titles are known, and the volumes are capable
Of being easily restored, at least in other COPIES
to the cases. Here might be kept his diary
The garden is substantially as he left It. The
clements Of his persOnality-si indus
try, prudence, economy-ere illustrated at every
turn The small plain chambers, the modest
furniture. the humble decorations, are per-
petual Lesson of self-abnegation. He was q
great character. No sculptured stone can COM
memorate qualities such asAe possessed. Ma
ture alone. "a recreated by his private virtues,
shown in life, can do that, and at Mount Vernon
he lived and died. They who revere that sacred
memory, and wish to keep 1t fresh, pray that
his home and last resting place may be made his
monument; that his countrymen may find here
the shade of their heroic friend, and may renew
their owe patriotism by association with his.

Congress Should UnIoad.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
referring to your protest. in which you are
endorsed by the Independent press against the
threatened action of Congress 'to push the
appropriation bills and adjourn" I beg to call
attention to one or two matters In which much
needed reform may be naugurated. The calen-
dars of both houses are loaded in great measure
with dduerse committee reports. Now If legis-
lators are serious and in earnest in desiring to
dispatch business, let them make rule to take
up the adverse reports on some particular day,
in soiiIo and dispose of them summary. In
this way much dead wood will be gotten rid
of.-and more attention can be given to live
matters and burning questions.
Again. Mr.. Randall and some of his followers
seem to have an adherence to the consideration
Of private bills. But the right of petition is
guaranteed to every citizen of the United States;
and the guarantee implies consideration. II
Congress-. for one reason or another will not
refer all claims which involve disputed ques-
lions Of fact to the courts, then they should be
consistent and act upon them without delays
which are tantamount to denial Of Justice.

very well when he was counting, and when it
came to getting married, he knew he could

IL out, So he adopted a wig to get out
of the difficulty. When he came on here he
was awfally uneasy. The idea of his young
bride finding out that he was an old man nearly
set him wild, and when he had gotten well
settled under his Wig he was the happiest man

This happened-but no. I can't give dates, you

in Elison's hands and feet. They
dried his clothes and made him
some warm tea, the only warm
food they had been able to secure,
the wind preventing them from
! lighting fires. Early the next day
Ellison was able to walk, and was
sent ahead, while the others pack
ed and hauled the sled. They soon
overlook Ellison, who had strayed
FROM the road. His hands and feet
were frozen and he was scarcely
able to see; his cheek and nose
were also frozen. The men took
turns at leading and helping him,
while two would haul the sled. Al
last it required all three at the
sled, and they tied Elison's arms
to the back of the sled and hauled
him in that way. His legs were
stiff and he would fall and be drag
ged for several yards before his
cries would be heard. Linn began
to fail, and it was decided that
Rice should push ahead while
Frederick remained with Ellison
and Linn. Rice, with little froz-
en- beet, started for assistance. The
other men remained in their sleep
ing bags twenty-four hours, when
Sergeant Brainard reached them,
and gave them some hot tea and
soup, and started back to hurry up
the relief party, which arrived ten
hour afterwards. Lieutenant Lock-
wood and DR.. Pavey hauled Ellison
into Camp Frederick, and Linn
walking. Elison's feet were frozen
beyond cure, and all his fingers and
thumbs were lost. .-
Ellison was carefully cared for
and lived through the whole win
ter, receiving the best Of the rations,
and more than the others, and only
died on July 8. His joy at the res
cue and his terrible suffering was
more than his weakened constitu-
ton could stand.
The brave man only lived to die
in the hands of his rescuers.
