HIS PERSON AND CHARACTE

HIS PERSON AND CHARACTER.
Washington was at that time ~ wears old,
and us was stated hY thousands who knew
| him Intimately, had outgrown that awk-
Wardness of movement which marked him
all through his early life, and arrived at an
attitude of most wonderful and kindly dig
nifty His figure was neither awkward nor
stiff. He was six feet three inches high,
spiendidly porporiolled, finely developed und
strught. lie had Il long and muscular arm
and a very large hand His motions wero
somewhat slow, and his voice almost uni
formIy grave. His breeding, of course was
TINT of gentleman He was fond Of So
ciety, enjoying the good things of life, and in
the circle of his intimates he indulsed in
quiet humor and was sensitive to the beauty
of q good story.
After Washingtons return to the senate
chamber and delivery of the address, he, with
both houses of congress and many Others
proceeded on foot to St Paul's chapel Oh
broadway, where divine service was per-
formed by Bishop Provost when tho presi-
dent was escorted to his own house. In tho
evening tho city was Illuminated in q style
unparalleled in America, and which drew
forth praise even from visiting Frenchmen
and other Foreigners. The theatre in John
street was blaze of light, the front covered
with transparencics, one of which represented
Fame like an angel descending from heaven
to crown Washington with Immortality In
Bowling Green were numerous Transparent
cles representing Washington and tho differ
ent branches of the now government presided
over by Justice and Wisdom, Columbia, Lib
erty and many other characters
1t is reported that every house In tho city
was Illuminated, the most brilliantly SO being
those Of tho French and Spanish ministers,
who tried to outdo each other. All the doors
and windows Of the French minister's house
wero bordcred with brilliant lamps shining
upon numerous paintings representing the
past and present of American history.
Gathered about the door of the Spanish min

George Washington was the hero Of tho
most successful and least destructive revolu-
ton recorded in history His Inauguration
was the t"Glnnng Of IL new era, ns well as
the inception of a new government, Indeed
the chief novelty of tho new government
consisted not so much in its form, for thnt
contained little that was new, but the vital
application Of principles admitted down
to that time, but generally ignored. The
declaration of radical principles by which
the Dutch of the Sixteenth century justified
their sang1linary struggle with Spain, and
the system of political ethics profcssed by the
English in their revolution of the Seventeenth
century, received but little addition in the
Declaration Of Independence; but what the
Dutch and tho English could not do by reason
of their old enyironmS;t, the Americans,
narvcously favored by a sparse population
in an immense country, and the self reliance
Of pioneers, rcsolutcly set themselves to make
