Washington Was an Athlete.

Every historic character must pass through
two cras, that OF undue c1altation end lauda-
ton, end that of depreciation and dcfe-la-
tion. George Washington escaped neither CT
them. The detraction with which Le was
met in his military career was temporary.
For tho most part his life was II triumph.
Ills presidency w:s royalty beyond anything
since experienced by our executives. His
torians We'd in e1aggerating his cxcellenccs,
and inyeuting illustrations cf his eItraor-
diaary character. Tho reaction was natural
to startling abatement of belief In his saint,
illness, and conviction that his military
career did Eot exhibit the least genius. Slowly
the final verdict has bcen rendered, and
wo may assuredly say that among the
truly well poised and superbly developed hc-
rces Of humanity Washington stands among
the very princeliest. Perhaps cir special
generation, influenced by an awakening iE-
terest IN athletics and physical development,
Is inclined TO consider with rncrc emphasis
the really magnificent bodily proportions and
health Of the father Of his country. Science
likes to point to him as a notable illustration
of the ''mens sana In corpore sano" princi-
pie, The stories Of his physical prowegs now

Washington sntl tl.c Children.


Tho venerable Hrs. Scnn,cs, who died q
fcw years ago in Alexandria, used TO tell this
story:
After Gen. Washington had retired from
Office, and was living at Mount Vernon, hc
accepted an invitation to dino with her IA
thcr Many distinguished men were biddcn to
meet him, and tho awe and excitement Of tho
young people of the family grew intense as
tho grca. occasion approached
Tho children, according to good old Vir-
ginia custom, dined with the guests, but os
there was not room for them at the large
board, side table was laid for tho Ett.c girl,
who was afterwards Mrs. Sc:aales, aal two
other little girls, one OF whom was afterwards
the mother of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
AS the dinner went Oh, tho thIce girls,
with their rosy checks and innocent Curslcs
Of laughter, attracted the attention OF the
general, who, during the solemn a:,ccch max
ing, cast many furtivc glanccs toward them.
They had agreed, child like, to cat CT exactly
tho same dishes, and accordingly all took the
samo kind Of fish, Vegetables, meat aI.I des-
sert. Washington bcc!soncd to 9 waiter,
poured out four glasses Of so.2le simple
cordial, and then, followed by the r.aI ";ilh
the glasses on L tray, crossed to tko cil0rcn's S
lttlo table, bowed profoundly, and ssid:
Young ladies, will you all drink with l:len'
"It was the proudost moment Of my life, -
Mrs Scnnles said. Washington was rc-
gart,ed as the greatest CT ivi:r, men, ard
tLis notice from him was an honor which
would MAKO any child harry beycrd words.
&c knew this, and toc.. t-s troubis to give
three foolish children this happiness, which
they cever forgot"
Il was too much the custom, after Wash
ingtoas death, to portray bin as faultless,
enotionlcs~ being, lifted cbovc all human
feelings cid weaknesses. These trivial ancc-
! dotcs givo us 4 more human and doubtless a
| more accurate view Of Ills character.

That Remarkable Statue.

The statue III front CT the Capitol at WCSh-
i2ato1, which was designed by Grcenough,
has been the butt of al the jokes Of senator's,
representatives, strangers and guides. Even
Alien G. Thurman is said to have aided in
tho ridicuiing.
Tho outstretchcd hand CT George" re-
marked the Ohio statesman cnce, ''socms to
no to sag, Here's my sword; my clothes arc
in tie patent C1lcc.'"
Another wag, commenting en- The statue Of
Columbus on the front steps CT tho capital
balancing the world in his right hand, re-
marked:
George Washington is playing ball with
Columbus and saying, Quit your foolirG and
play BALI"
Still this statue has a longer history than
any other ct tho Capitol, probably. It was
begun at tho end of Andrew Jackson's first
term, and took eight years for Horotio
Grccnough to make it. He did the work in
Florence, Italy, and rladc tho statue in q sit
ting posture instead of standing erect, as tho
act Of congress commanded. 1t was designed
to stand in the center of tho roturda inside
the Capitol, when it was completed in 1S40.
Tho next question was. how to get it from
Italy to America Congress hagglcd over it
for some time, end finally sent ,nan-of-war
to bring it from Genoa to Washington
In the meanwhile, Mr. Grecncugh had
started it to Genoa. 1t weighed twelve tons
and it took twenty-five yoke cf oxen to haul
it. As it went en- its wey through Italy, tho
peasants thought it an image of some saint,
and here and there they kneelcd and crossed
their breasts as it went by. When it got to
Genoa it was found that it was so largo it
could not be gotten through tho hatchway of
tho nlan-of-war which was to carry it to
Washington and q merchant vessel had to
be chartered.
At last it arrived ct the Washington navy
yard, end congress was Mortified to SEQ that
the statue, which they expected was to stand
upright, was sitting in chair, and that it
said:
Tho man does not live, and never did live,
who saw Washington without his shirt"
And tho country applauded tho sentiment.
But the navy yard is not tho Capitol, end
it cost IS 600 to bring tho statue from it to
tie rotunda. When it reached tho Capitol
doors it was found that tho statue, liko the
painting Of the Vicar Of WaEefleld's family,
was too large to 60 through, and the mason
r. had to TO cut away and tho door en-
larged When it was finally put in, it is
sa;d that tho floor began to sink, and pedes-
tai had to be built to support it.
1t was soon found that the rotunda was no
place for it. sono people thought it was too
largo and out Of proportion with its sur
rorndings, and others, hurrying from the
senate over to the house, found it an obstacle
in their path; still others insisted that it
lacked artistic merit. But whatever the rea-
son, tho statue, after number of removals,
was taken to where it now stands IN the bit
ter cold, bleak air of the Capitol plateau,
where the winds can howl out Washington's
agony as they go tearing BY, and where his
nakedncss has the boundlezs arch of the sky
for his canopy"-New York Tribune

THE WASHINGTON FAMILY.
Ago and High Standing OF tho English
Family Of Washingtons.

The history of George " ashington's British
ancestors has been traced back on one sido to
he Norman conquerors OF England, and on
the other to the Saxons, ard from tho earliest
lates the family appears to havo belonged to
the landed gentry or lower nobility. Free
nan, tho historian, says: "The Teutonic clan,
which il some unrccorded settlement Of our
folk planted On a spot of English soil the OBJ
scure name of the Wascingas, dreamed not
that the name of their little mark should be-
como the first of names in q younger aud
vaster England"
While tho namc Of Washington is of Ger
man origin, tho blood is largely Norman
The old record says that when Henry VIII
dissolved the Elonasteries in $500 he gave
the Land in Sulgravo with other estates in
Northampton to Laurence Washington, of
Northampton, gentleman, who built stone
house on the estate; and there eleven children
and sixteen grandchildren werc born Gn-
cluding John and Laurence, the emigrants to
America), and fourteen great-grandchildren.
1t is almost i'll tho center of England and in q
quiet rural neighborhood. Irving thought
that the three red stars and two red stripes Of
the family coat of arms furnished the germ

history of the flag is somewhat different.
there. Then the fortunes of the family
declined, but were afterwards restored by
wealthy marriages. Cave Castle, in York
shire, was the home of the Washingtons dur
ing the commonwealth, and from there Col
John Washington, the great grandfather Of

1862 Among tho notable neighbors of tho
Washinstons were tho Fan.faxes and tho
Harrisons Maj. Gen. Thomas Fairfax and

troduccd by richard Henry Lee, The Ifc
LONG friend Of Washington, was adopted by
congress.
The discussion was long ond animated,
so,ao being til,lid CT opposed, end tho debate
continued until July 4, when news camc that
a large British force Under Gen Howe had
arrived at tie entrance Of New York harbor,
which turned the seal, and at . o'cloc. on
that aft2rnoon the final vote was taken with
the result of tho unanimous voice Of thirteen
states By this solemn act tho English col
Cries had ceased to exist and q new nation
was born.
Tao Declaration was signed On the day Of
its adoption by every member Present who
voted for it. John Hancock, whose name
headed all the others, said: "Wo must be
unanimous; there must bo no pulling differ
cnt ways; we must all hang together"
Yes" said Franklin, ''wo must oil hang
together Or we shall all hang separately"
On the 9th Of July, 1776 tho Declaration
Of Independence was read to tho army. Most
Of the Tories had fed from New York,
and these who remained Kept their sentiments
hidden, but the loyal people were in @ frenzy
Of Joy. Thcy felt that tho great step was
taken, e1d that it was cnly a question Of
ti1no when they would bo q FREQ nation.
There vas leaden statue OF George III in
Bowling Green, and this they threw down
and nodded into buLllots. Washington dis
approved greatly of this ect. 1t seemed to
lin to bo lawless and riotous, and he wrote
an order requesting his mon to act as be-
Genes Christian men, defending tho dearest
rights and liberties Of their country. On other
occasions when he heard any swearing
among men or officers he at onco stignlatized
such IS wicked and ungentlcnanly. Indeed, he

so.io Of them syore, he rose, saying, Il
thought l he'd invited gentlemen only"
T7l.rc.l@hout ell h; life Washington was
srstGr> acd rigid in tho observanccs Of tho
resnect duo to sacred things, and ho was often
found praying forvontly for tho Success Of his
handful Of starving troops
Everywhere tho Declaration wcs hailed
with Joy. 1t was read to the army amidst
exrl4ilg shouts. It gave them tho insDiru-
ton of great cause, and sustained them i'll
tho dark days of that long, revolutionary
struggle, until that which was declared in
Independence ball in l156 was gloriously
achieved by Washington in I1SS-tEe liberty
Of our land.
