had the finest of china and cut-glass, and
he evidently possessed considerable artistic
taste. From his clothes and various de-
scriptiOns one can get some idea of
how he looked. He was six feet two,
rs straight rs an Indian, and he weighed
2l0 pounds when IN his prime. He wore
No. II shoes. and Lafayette says that his
hands were the biggest ne ever saw. lie
had broad chest. but not full one. ana
during his last days ne was troubled with q
cough. His looks did not improve with
age. His false teeth did not ut well aud

eyes of cold. light grayish blue, when

the French officers leave the ship and

remained some time at work, and when
they went away one of them carried a
package in his arms. This package was be-

man who resided near Mt. Vernon at the
time stated that the tomb had been violated
and the skull of Washington carried away to
France, where it had been sold TO firm OF
phrenologists, while the skull Of negro
servant Of Colonel Fairfax had been put in
its place. Nicholas Callan doubted whether
the negro's story was true, and he said that
the tomb was afterwards opened and
