Gen. washingtou-s Appearance.

An old gentleman whom met above
the Braddock Hotel told me he had for
years heard George Washington Gusts
talk of his adopted father. SAID he:
"Custis looked up to Washington as a
god. He described him as straight as
an American Indian and as free IN walk
az the savage, From the stories L have
heard of Washington / have tried to
picture him in my minds eye. He
was tall man padded with muscle.
He was six feet two in his shoes, and
he weighed 2l0 pounds ia his prime.
He wore about No. IL shoes, and had
gloves three times as large as the aver
age. His hands were so large that
they were a curiosity, and his whole
frame was bony ana large -iOinted. He
had broad chest, but not a full one.
1t was rather hollow, and he was trou-
bled in his last days with a cough. His
mouth was firm and his lower jaw grip
ped the upper with determined grip.
In later years he lost his teeth, and the
false ones he got did not fit well and
pushed out his lower lip. He had eyes
of cold light gray. which could look
stern and angry upon occasion, and
which seldom smiled. He was as wide
at the hips as at the shoulders, and
kept his straightness of stature to the
last. He had large legs and was a good
rider and runner. You have heard the
stories of his wonderful strength OF arm
and how he threw stones wide distances.
His nose waa rather thick and coarse.
/ have never heard tina. it had blossom
ON it. He was rather fastidicus as to
dress, though he wore plain clothes
when not on military duty. He always
shaved himself, but had a servant to
comb and tie his hair every morning.
/ have heard Mr.. Gusts say that he
rose very early st Mt. Vernon, often
before daybreak, and as early as a. m.
He would, at sunrise, 60 to his stables
and look at his blooded horses. When
he came back he had light breakfast
of corn cakes, honey and tea, or some
thing of that sort, and then he ate
nothing more until dinner. / am speak
ing of his later years. After breakfast
he rode over his estate, and at had
returned and was dressed for dinner.
Dinner was big meal at Mt. Vernon.
and Washington ate nothing after it.
He usually drank five glasses of Mad
EZRA wine at desert, but / have never
heard of his being drunk. He was not
opposed to the moderate use Of liquor.
and when he was first elected to the
House of Burgesses of Virginia, among
the items of his election expenses were
a hoeshead and a barrel of whiskey,
thirty-llve gallons of wine and forty
three gallons of beer. In the the VIr
ginia House he did not cut great fig
ure. He was not much of q speaker.
but he was popular or he could not
have held his place for fifteen years. as
he did. l have understood that he
treated his slaves very well. but that he
made them work and wouid allow
no foolishness among them. WasiIing-
ton liked thet \ re. and he was fond
of dancing IN esziy life,

The issue OF an imperial decree for
bidding the wearing of round hats,
frock coats, vests without sleeves and
pantaloOlIs was supposed to be a means
Of gratifying a grudge Paul bore toward
Euglishmen. His aversion to round
hats seems to have been constitutional.
1t was more eXpedient that the hateful
garment should be prescribed than that
the tranquility of Car should be dis
turbed. The sudden apparitiOn of
crowds of bareheaded gentlemen on
the streets of st. Petersburg announced
the new decree; wherever a round hat
appeared it was snatched by ambushed
policemen, and the muscular pedestrian
who ventured to repel the assault and
knocked down the thief was carried be-
fore the guard and fined. The combat
i've EngliShman was, of course, the
chief actor in these street breils.
BY the influence of Charles Whit
worth the ukaSe, 50 far as it affected
foreigners, was modified; the chief of
the police was instructed not to coniiS-
cate the head-dreSs, but to detain its
wearer till evidence was produced that
he was not Russian either by birth or
naturalization. Paul's hatred of hats
was of old standing. While Grand
Duke, aad living at Gatchina, he saw
workman wearing one. He caused the
man to be brought before him and ad-
ministered to him Il lecture on his at
tire. Turning to the Grand Duchess,
Paul asked for some pins, and raising
the flaps Of the round hat, transformed
it into cooked one and ordered the
workman to wear it 50 till it was past
service.
The ukaSe caused a run on the shops
for head-dresseS that we've not a civil
offence, and as the stock was soon ex-
hauSted people had to walk the streets
bareheaded or batter their hats into
another category. An ambassador who
qentured to laugh too loudly at these
eccentricIties had his passports re-
turned. Paul paid the dress of Eng
lishmen the compliment of a special
police decree. The costume he enjOined
was a three-cOrnered hat, a long cue
with curl at the end of il, single
breasted coat and vest, buckles instead
Of latches at the knee-breeches and the

the hate race wearing long boots, he
sent some policemen to cut them into
the size Of shoes; but rs the man refused
to be reformed they dragged the boots
off and left him TO go home in his
stockings.
1t is written somewhere that lady
at Court provoked the imperial dis
pleasure by wearing her hair to low at
the neck, and that as punishment she
was ordered into close confinement and
fed on bread and water. Again, an
English servant was dragged from a
sledge and caned on the street for wear
too thick neckcloth. The inhabitants |
Of st. Petersburg fed in all directions
when they saw the Cars carriage in |
the distance, only to be followed by |
mounted COSsacks, who brought them |
back and compelled them to PROSTATE |
themselves in the mud before his |!
Majesty. A short-sighted Englishman, !
who pleaded defective vision, when |
asked why lie had skulked down back |
lane, was ordered TO wear spectacleS. |

brow, and be looks once more like the
Harold BroughtOn of old.
The twilight is stealing over the lod
orchard at Rosebank; and Nora Is pae-
ing up and dewn, strange weight of
sadness on her heart tonight. Large
tears roll one by one down her pale
cheeks: the soft breeze stirs the apple
blossoms. and the pure petals fall upon
her bowed head. A hasty step falls
upon the green turf, a hand is laid upon
her shoulder, and well-known voice
whispers
s.NOrar'
The strong arms are round her now,
the welcome voice pouring incoherent
explanations into her ear. What does
it matter All the sorrow is forgotten,
zone as dream in the bliss of meeting
Harold again.
''Can you forgive me, Nora ?' he
pleads. Sand, dearest, 1 found out
my mistake by chance. in my restless
wanderings came across CAPITA War
ner, and he enlightened me. The first
vessel that sailed brought me home !;
and here am to ask you to forgive and
forget all, and be my own again"

prayed and hoped and waited for this
day ~
And so, after five long years, they
have met, never TO be parted again in
this life.
Once more take up my'pen. We are
to be married tomorrow. The past,
with all its sorrow, seems now more
like a dream. and my only wish at
present Is that may grow more worthy
of Harold's love. We talked it all over
to-day under the very tree beneath
which we discussed the croquet-match
i've years ago: and Harold's voice was
tremulous when he kissed me and whls-
pered-
''Well, darling, the trouble is all
over. We have both suffered deeply
but Heaven grant We may be happy

A word about sedatIves, or sleeping
draughts. 1t is impossible to speak too
strongly against the habitual use of
these. They should never be taken
without a Doctors orders. ChlOral,
though not producing the i'll effects
which follow opium, is depressing.
One or two teaspoonsfuls of the syrup
is the dose for an adult. "Chloral-
drinking" is a fearful evil, against
which none can keep too sedulous a
guard. OF bromide of potassium, five
to twenty grains is the ordinary adult
dose. 1t is a powerful sedative to the
nervous system, but should never be
used as habit, for, besides other evils,
it leads to an eruption ON the skin.
Laudanum is the preparation of opium
most employed by the public. Children
are exceedingly sensitive to it. One
drop of laudanum has killed an infant.
1t should never be taken without a

last week, though brief, is one of the
most interesting and extraordinary re-
citals in the annals of medical expert
ment. The baciiii had been grown in
meat-broth. This broth was injected
hypodermically, very deep in the upper
arm. The dread effects of cholera (but
in form mitigated to human endur-
ance) soon evidenced themselves. Ri
gidity, nausea, muscular spasms, the
dysenteric pain In the spine, collapse,
and sleep followed each other. At the
spondent wrote his description, and ex-
pected to have severe headache for
twenty-five hours more, whereafter he
would be secure from cholera for three
months. A second incubation would
insure longer period of immunity. A
score of other investigators underwent
vaccination at the same time. Some
experimenters are unable to sleep.
There remains no doubt that the doc
tors have found the right microbe, but
it is probable that they will be forced to
breed it down until it shall create less
serious disturbance when scientifically
introduced in the human system. At
present the trial is far too severe for
practical benefit to the race. Progress
in this field OF science seems to have
been delayed until the Egyptian out

Iowa Bosses in a Rage.
Special to the Globe.
QDEs MONIES, Ia, May 15.-The leading
Democrats of Iowa, particularly of the
southern half of the state, are in white
heat of passion over President Cleyeland's
appointment of United States marshal
for the Southern district of Iowa. The
ring, composed Of the four Democratic con-
gressmen and a few other influential
Democrats, have tried to control the
federal patronage of the state, hardly
deigning to acquaint even President Cleve-
land with their plans. At conference in
Chicago a slate was prepared which it was
announced the president would ratify at
the asking. To the great disgust of tho
self-appointed office brokers, the president
has mashed the slate to pieces in the first
appointment he has made. The bosses
have determined to make war on the
president Petitions to have the appointment
revoked and given to Campbell are being
circulated in this city, and several protests
have already been sent to Washington.
The bosses openly announce their determi-
nation to fight the president to the end, and
declare that if he can get along without
their help he shall have chance to try the
experiment. The people generally are well
pleased with the appointment of Williams
and are glad to see the discontinue of the
selfish and arrogant ring. The public.
sentiment is generally with President Cleve-
and, even though the leaders threaten to
make the biggest row in the Democratic
party ever known in Iowa, and test what is
said of Mr. Cleveland's firmness and de-
termination. 1t is not thought he will be
moved by the bluster of the bosses.
