most invariably appeared mounted by her
carriage, and their equipage would often sur
pass that Of minor dukes and princes Of Eu-
rope. Mr.. Irving writesi "His stable was
well filed and admirably regulated. His
stud was thoroughbred, and in excellent
order. His household books contained the
names, ages and marks Of his favorite horses,
such as Ajax, Blueslkin, Valiant, Magnolia
ian Arab, etc.; also his dogs, chiefly fox
hounds Vulcan, Singer, Ringwood, Sweet
Lips, Forester, Music, lockwood and True
Love" Mr.. Irving also says: IA large Vir-
ginia estate In those days was little en-
pire. The mansion house was q seat Of gov
eminent, with its numerous dependencies,
such as kitchens, smoke house, workshops
and stables. In this mansion the master
ruled supreme; his steward or overseer was
prime minister and executive officer. he
had his legion Of house negroes for domestic
service, and his host Of field negroes for the
culture Of tobacco, Indian corn and other
crops, and for other outdoor labor
Their quarters formed kind Of hamlet,
composed of various huts, with little gardens
and poultry yards, all well stocked, and
swarms Of little negroes gambling in the
sunshine. Then there were large wooden
edifces for curing tobacco, the staple and
most profitable production, and mills for
grinding wheat and Indian corn, of which
large fields were cultivated for the supply Of
the family and the maintenance Of the
negroes.
Among the slaves were artifcers Of all
kinds-tailors, shoemakers, smiths, wheel
wrights, ETC., so that plantation produced
everything within itself for ordinary use.
As to articles of fashion and elegance and ex-
pensive clothing, they were imported from
London, for the planters on the main rivers
carried on an immediate trade with England
Their tobacco was put up by their own
negroes, bore their own mark, was shipped
on board Of vessels which came up the river
for that purpose, and consigned to some
agent in Liverpool or Bristol with whom the
planter kept an account

IndeseribabIe Wreck Visible on Every
Hand---The storm Losses.
Mt. yERNoE, Feb. PA scene Of In
describable wreck is visible here. From
the court house, whose tin roof hangs I'm
shreds to the sides of the building.
towards the southwest is an appalling
sight Of devastation. 1t is in this direc-
tion that the laboring classes have built
their little one story cottages, among the
timber, and here it was that the cloud
first dropped down, and in whirling fury
twisted immense oaks from the grounds
and mashed the homes fiat; then
gathering the clinging pieces
strewed them along a path, tear
ing down trees and wiping
out land marks. Scarcely can the direc-
ton of the streets be traced, for in this
poorer quarter grading had not been at
tempted. How many houses were here
destroyed is not known, for nothing is
left in places TO mark the spot. Fifteen
foundations still remain. In six acres,
formerly web built up, but three houses
are standing in the path of the storm,
and these are wrecked On the
right and left of the path the
debris plunged like catapults
In homes more fortunate. Looking
northeastward, across the railroad, the
scene appears more terrible, because the
buildings were larger, heavier and more
compact, and the wave that swept for 600
yards clean swath, tearing down fences
and trees, piled up the debris on either
side, and left naked fence posts and
foundation wallg 30 mark the spots of res

buried with other roofs To the southeast
stands the Monumental ruins of the
three-story brick -four mill, the walls
stripped down and the machinery en-
posed, and on the north, partially sur
rounded by uniniured houses, the
crushed Baptist church and the large
brick Commercial hotel unroofed and
partly torn down. The streets near the
pOstoffice are broad, but to-day are filed
with the debris of business houses. Along

to the streets. The cyclone ground the
walls to level, and the furnaces set fire
to the woodwork and destroyed the last
plank. The Evans bank, on the corner,
exhibits burning pit, and the safe
cracked with the heat. Under the ruins
yet unearthed lie the charred remains of
j. G. Murray, the owner of the block.
The property loss aggregates over half
a million dollars, and falls heavily upon

mary shows the county building, the
churches, business houses and stocks of

And even when his soldiers deserted him
his big heart could find humane allowances.
He wrote:
'Men just dragged from the tender scenes
OF domestic life, and unaccustomed TO the
din Of arms, totally unacquainted with every
kind OF military skin, are timid and ready
to fly from their own shadows. Besides the
sudden change In their manner Of living
brings on an onconqusrabls desire to return
to their homesn
At another battle at Fort Washington,
where the Hessians, with their dreaded
bayonets, rushed upon company Of youths
and ruthlessly slaughtered these scarcely
more than boys who begged for their lives,
Washington wept like q child. Again and
again he would be heard praying and in
tears, for the alienation Of the sufferings Of
his starving, freezing men at Valley Forge.
Again, when after all his labor and sacri.
fees, his wearisome toll and dreadful re-
sponsibility as ycommandsr-in-chief Of the
American army was over with the war, and
he was about to disband his troops, this man
of iron stood, and with voice shaken by
emotion, said: with heart full Of love
and gr9titnde, now take leave Of you.
most 6evoutiy wish that your LATER days
may be as happy as your former have besH
glorious and honorable. I cannot come to
each Of you to take my leave, but shall be
obliged il each of you win come and take me

Tears blinded his eyes and he could say no
more. One after another, these heroic men
grasped his hand in parting. Not word
was spoken, and it was then that his soldiers
knew that his heart was as tender as his
manner was austere and formal.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb. pa special
from Mt. Vernon, Ill, says a cyclone
struck that city about Abs p. m. Sunday.
The storm came from the northwest and,
sweeping around in half circle, RACED
the town, leveling half of IT and setting
fire to the remainder.
TheiWestern Union Office was destroyed
and all the wires were broken except
one leading to this city. Assistance was
telegaphed for to Evansville, ana q
special train with the engine and reels,
also number Of physicians, were i'm
mediately sent to the rescue. The entire
town is practically destroyed. The
Louisville s. Nashville shops are also in
ruins.
The latest reports from thu scene Of
the trouble state that SO far forty-eight
bodies have been taken from the ruins.
It is estimated that $50 people are In
tured. Owing TO the absence of tele-
graph facilities it is impossible to obtain
a fun list of the killed and wounded.
Relief trains viii be sent from this city
and St. Louis as soon as possible.

Many OF the Virginia planters were de-
voted to pleasure alone. They lived high,

and his accounts were kept with methodical
exactness. His integrity was such that It is
said that any barrel Of -four which bore his
brand was exempted In the West India ports
from the ordinary inspection.
Mount Vernon was always crowded with
guests. Even the most profase hospitality
was no burden to the princely proprietor.
Frequently In the season Washington would,

mount them all superbly from hts own

II Is said that Washington, notwithstanding
bis hatufu sra1euueZ or Character, greatly
enjoyed these convivial repasts.
Washington was, however, by no means
engrossed In those pleasures In which be
sought frequent recreation. The care Of his
vast estates demanded much of his time
His superior abilities and his established In
tegrity led him to be in demand for public
services. He was appointed judge Of the
county court, and, being member of the
house of burgesses, was frequently called
from home by public duties Whatever trust
Washington assumed, was discharged with
the utmost fidelity. The diary which he
carefully kept was headed by these words,

Reports are coming in from the coun-
try and the storm seems to have swept
everything for miles. Incalculable loss
of life and great suffering viii follow un-

mayor, G. n. HarneI, who will give it
to proper committee. Ameeting of bust
ness men was held and committees ap-
pointed to care for the dead and wounded
and protect the property as much as pos
sible. Many people who escaped with
their lives have nothing besides. Many
are walking the streets with no home to
go to.
The wounded are being cared for by
the physicians in the best possible man
ner. The railroad shops were badly dam
aged and great number of homes de-
stroyed. The people are outdoors who
lived in the track Of the storm. The
dead and dying are scattered throughout
the city. All the doors of the remaining
houses have been thrown open to the less
fortunate. Three-fourths Of the business
portion of the city Is ruined financially.
In all 500 buildings are destroyed and
many others injured. The dead are now
being gathered at the supreme court
house, which has been converted into
hospital for the dead and wounded.
This building is also damaged, but not
seriously. Latest reports show twenty
nine dead and about 100 injured, some of
whom viii die.

Only once does history tell us that WASH

but, like Uncle Toby, this being his only

the engagement of tho 18th Of September and
Washington had advanced to Motifs tavern
on Harlem plains, when he heard the firing
Of cannons, which was from ten ships Of war
and was done to cover the landing of
the British and Hessian division, under Sir
Henry Clinton and Count Donop, Some 1000
strong, at Kips bay. The cannons were
aimed at the American batteries between
Turtle bay and Stuyvesants point. When
he heard the firing he rode rapidly to the
scene of action, and there had the mortifca-
ton to discover that the militia who manned
the batteries had fed at the approach Of the
enemy, and the brigades of Parsons and Eel
lows, of Putnamis Connecticut troops, had
caught the panic and fled withnut firing

British had landed Washington met
