A AMan who saw washington.

1t does not seem possible that there
should be a man yet living who would
even profess to remember having seen
Washington's fece. But there is and
what is still more curious, he processes
to have SCENT only about fifty years
ago. 1t is W. III. Burgess, OF Alexan-
driaJ Va. He says that he was en-
ployed in 1886 as. a laborer to assist in
building the tomb at Mount Vernon
and removing the bodies Of George
and Martha Washington from the old
to the new tomb. II was but lad"
he said "and l remember this was
about my first piece of work. When
the vault was completed l assisted in
removing the bodies from the old
tomb to their present resting-place.
1t was decided to open Washington's
coffin and hen it had been convened
to the new tomb the lid was raised.
A number Of people were present and
stood in breathless silence while the
workmen extracted the rusty screws.

features Of the face were complete and
there was nothing to indicate the
length Of time he had been dead.
The exposure to air however, had its
immediate effect. In a minute or two
the body collapsed and shrunk into al
most unrecognizable form other

Bragg's QuarreIing PrOPensi-
ties.

| have heard q story in the old army
very characteristic of Bragg. On one
occasion when stationed at post OF
several companies, commanded by a
field officer, he was himself command
ing one Of the companies, and at the
same time acting post quartermaster
and commissary. He was first lieu
tenant mt the time, but his captain
was detached on other duty As COM
mander of the company, he made a
requisition upon the quartermaster-
himself-for something he wanted.
As quartermaster, he declined to fill
the requisition, and endorsed on the
back OF it his reason for so doing. AS
company commander he responded to
this, urging that his requisitirn called
for nothing but what he was entitled
to, and that twas the duty OF the quar-
termaster to fill it. The quartermas-
ter still persisted that he was right. In
this condition of affairs Bragg referred
the whole matter to the commanding
officer The latter when he saw nature
of the matter referred, exclaimed
"My God, Mr.. Bragg, you have quar-.
relied with every officer in the army
and now you arc quarrelling with
yourself-Gen. Grants Bool.

The IngersOIl and Dorsey
Homes.

Ex-senator Stephen w. Dorsey, ac-
companed by Mrs. Dorsey, is on his
way from visit in the East to his
mammoth cattle ranches in New Mex
leo, where he will spend the summer
in his customary kingly style. In two
or three weeks he will be joined by
Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll, his part
ner in the cattle business. Their resi-
dences are less than half a mile apart
and unlike the usual abode on cattle
men, are fitted up with all the conyen-
inces known to modern times. Al
though many miles from any town,
they have gas, water, and telephones
The building occupied by Colonel In
gersoll is novel and unique. 1t was
built under the direction OF Mr.. Dor
sey and presented to his partner on
first visit to the ranch. Its design does
not conform to any known rules oi
architecture. It is built in rustic
style and its thirteen gables present a
fantastic appearance. lthas q score Of
