Mrs. Washington became insane

this is so. 1t is true she shut her.
self up alone in a room, and re.
mained there until her death, but
you must remember she WAS an
old woman, and there is a wide
difference between the erankiness
of age aud insanity. 1t is possible
she may have been parsimonious,
as is charged, but there are no ira.
ditions to that effect.r
An old gentleman whom | met
above the Braddock hotel told me
he had for years heard George
WashingtonCustis talk Of his adop-
ted father. Said he: "Custis looked
up to Washington as a god. Ilo
described him as stright as an
American Indian, and as free in
his walk as a savage. From the
stories | have heard of Washing.
ton, | have tried to picture him in
my minds eye. lie was tall
man, padded with muscle. He was
six feet two in his shoes, and he
weighed 2lO pounds In his prime.
He wore about number eleven
shoes and had gloves three times
as large as the average. His hands
were so large that they were q Gu.
riosity, and his whole frame was
bony aud large;jointed. He had a
broad chest, but not u full one.
1t was rather hollow, and he was
troubled in his last days with a
cough. His mouth was firm; his
lower jaw gripped 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 rs wide at the hips as
ut the shoulders, aud kept his
straightness of stature to the last
He had large legs and was u good
rider and runner. You have heard
the stories of his wonderful
strength of arm, and how he threw
stones wide distances. His nose
was rather thick and coarse.
have never heard that it had Q
blossom on II. He was rather fas
tidious as to his dress, though he
wore plain clothes when not OF
military duty. lie always shayed
himself, but had a servant to cont
aud tie his hair every morning.
have heard Mr.. Custis say that he
rose very early at Mount Vernon
often before daybreak, and al
early as 4 q. m. He would ut sun
rise 90 to his stables aud look al
his bloodcd horses. When ht
came back he had a light break
fast of corn cakes, honey and tea
or something of that sort, ant
then he ate nothing more unit
dinner. Dinner was a big meal a
Mount Vcrnon, and Washington
ate nothing after it. He usual,
drank five glasses of Nader,
wine at desert, but have neye
heard Of his being drunk. He wa
not opposed to the moderate us
of liquor, and when he was 6rs
elected to tho house of Burgesse
of Virginia, among the items of hi
election expenses were u hogs
head and barrel Of whisky, thin
ty-fve gallons Of wine, and forty
three gallons o. beer. In the Vii
ginia house he did not cut o grea
figure. He was not much of
speaker, but he was popular, o
he could not have held his plac
for fifteen years as he did. hav
understood that he treated hi
slaves very well, but that he mad
them work and would allow NJ
foolishness among them. Wash
ington liked the theatre, and h
was fond of dancing in early life.

Numerous criticisms, more or
less unkind, have been passed upon
Mrs. Blaine's action in refusing to
assist in the New Years reception
at the White House. Her censors
say that she should be more "po-
litic," and that it was very foolish
for her to show resentment because
President Arthur made no effort
to help Blaine in the November
contest But to eur mind nothing
more becomes wife than the ex-
hibition of little spirit in her hus-
bands behalf. A loving woman
should not be expected to display
the arts of diplomist. Devotion
does not disemble. 1t looks well
for wife to stand up for her hus-
band under all circumstances,
right or wrong. We are glad that
Mrs. Blaine has shown so much
spunk, Her husband should be
proud of her, and he doubtless is.

THE TARIFF QUESTION.

Nasby's last ridiculous letter
on the tariff question as under
stood by the Democrats, is center
hit. Old Petroleum V. has made
the matter palmer in few words
than many distinguished statesmen
could in a four hours speech.
The gist Of the matter was that
he was receiving letters from prom
inent Democrats in various locali-
ties on the tariff. The Georgia
man wanted the grand doctrine of
Free Trade carried out to the let
ter 7on everything except cotton.
The Pennsylvania man was also
strong Free Understanding of
course, when it comes to iron. The
Ohio Democrat was wild for Free
Trade, ON all staples except wool
and the Michigan Democrat wanted
the gates thrown open to every
thing except lumber.
This is just about where all the
Free Trade arguments land.

America and become a citizen.
These letters show conclusively
that Washington was a good deal
smarter man than ipeople gave him
the credit of being and when peo-
pie got the best of him they had
to rise with the lark every time.

A resolution was offered in the
Senate on Friday calling for an in.
vestigation of the management Of
the State Prison because of some
articles which had been offered in
the APPEAL.
If such an investigation were
had, the APPEAL in all fairness to
Mr.. Bell. believes that nothing re-
fecting upon his integrity, would
be found. No one has ever held
that there was anything dishonest
in the management, nor do we be-
lieve that the most rigid investiga-
ton would so show.
If the article conveyed any such
idea to any members of the Sen
ate they simply mistook its tenor.
Regarding the escape of the pris-
oners, while cutting sage brush, it
was stated that $500 reward was
paid for their rccapture. The Con-
trol!er's report puts the figures at
500.
We make this statement out of
justice to Mr.. Bell whom we desire
to place in no false light.
We believe he has tried hard to
fill the arduous position. but has
failed, simply from lacking in pc
culiar characteristics which fit GER
tain men for such positions. There
has been a scrimping, penny wise,
pound foolish way Of managing
things there, which has resulted in
a saving to the State in some
departments as far as the figures
90, but the loss in the efficient
management of the prison and in
what will have to be made up in
1885, is in our honest opinion
more than this saving of money
can Offset.
In order to make a prison man
agement what it should be, the
prisoners should neither fear nor
hate the Warden, and the two
should not be occupying antago-
nistic relations.
The officers and the Warden
should be upon a friendly footing; |
but this does not seem to have
been the case in this instance.
This state of affairs partly arose
from the fact that the friends Of |
Bell were obliged to secure. votes
for him by promising right and left
this man and that mans friends
that certain places should be at
their disposal.
There is a bad principle at the
bottom of all this. IF the agree
ments and bargains are kept the
Warden goes into Office with lot of
material on his hands, of which he
knows nothing, and it generally
proves to be of the most worthless
character. If the bargains are re-
pudlated there is q rumpus con-
stantly in active eruption about
the ears Of the Warden, and the
is naturally hampered.
The system of electing Wardens
of the Prison, by the Legislature,
leads to good deal Of this. Bet
ter let the Prison Commissioners
appoint Warden, or let them be
elected by the people.
