pieces of antiquity were new, and plct-
ures them in their original colors, the
rich and elegant red of the morocco con-
trasted with the white silk, the flaps,
which somehow remind us of those old
fashioned curled up skates that the Hol-
landers used of yore, and the deep
wrinkles which lent to them their easy
and comfortable air, we must readily
believe that these slippers presented a
simple, rich and elegant appearance.
They serve in a great measure to show
that the taste of this great man tended
toward simplicity, at the same time
uniting with that refinement which al
ways selects the best We have as an
other example of this the story of Wash
ington's watch-familiar to every school
boy-which he desired should come to
him from France, of pure gold, but per-
fectly plain, so that its smooth and pol
ished sides, had the Father of his Coun-
try been vain man, might have served
the uses of a looking glass.

were such an important part OF this gar
ment during the colonial days. From
this flap it is impossible to obtain COM
plete idea Of the whole 1t may be said,
however, that it is sea green in color,
richly embroidered in silk with figures,
and when new must have presented a
very handsome appearance.
Only one thing more remains to be
said. Maj. Clitherall was, from time
to time, in receipt of various letters
of inquiry from different parts of the
country bearing upon these unique and
valuable possessions, and have endeav-
ored in the present article to cover the
entire ground, however briefly, and it is
to be hoped that it will be copied widely
enough to fall into the hands of all those
who have been more especially interested
in the matters touched upon.
1t was not without feeling Of venera-
ton that | said good-by to these ancient
relics, whose authenticity cannot be

Whose presence doth the country S honor leaven;
Two suns they are that dissipate mans gloom,
For ones the index to Earth's freeborn bloom,
The other to our burning hope in Heavenl
Thy dust may molder in the holloT "ock,
But every day thy soul makes some new capt

Nations unborn will swell thy thankful flock,
And Fancy tremble that she cannot mock
Thy history's Truth that will enchant with rapt-
ure
How vain the daring to compute in words
The height of homage that the heart would
render!
And yet how proud-to feel no speech affords
Harmonious measure to the subtle chords
That ill the soul beneath thy placid Splendor!
The steady fire that battled in thy breast
Lit up our gloom with radiance good though

Like some red sun which the dull earth caressed
Into wealthy alteration, blest
To be its glory's great reelected glory.
Thou, when the earthly heaven of mans soul
The heaven of home, of liberty, of honor
Shuddered with darkness, didst the clouds uproll
And burst such light upon the nations dole
That every state still feels thy breath upon her.

inches in length, and across its widest
part, where the ball of the foot lies, it
measures four and one-half inches.

The slipper is of red morocco leather,

brown color, and a careless observer
would place it in the rank of those cheap
brown leather foot coverings which,
however much of comfort they may pos

ish appearance which marks the slipper

slippers are said to have been lined with

the wall, stood an old fashioned chair
looking very much like those stiff kitch-
en- chairs of the present day, albeit more
elegant in appearance. This piece of an
tiquated mahogany is bedroom chair
which was the property of Martha Wash
ington, or, as she was lovingly called by
Maj. Clitherall's family, Mistress Wash
ington."
Maj. George B. Clitherall, whose death
has occurred since my visit to Mobile,
was the devoted possessor Of these relics,
and the last survivor of family which
stands among the first in a republic that
gained its independence through the i'm
mortal name of George Washington.
The history of the Clitherall family in
America on the maternal side dates
back to the Rev. Richard Marsden, who
was chaplain to the Duke of Portland,
and Who received from the original lords
proprietors the ownership of the two
plantations known as 1.-The Hermitage"
and 'Castle Haynes" lying on opposite
sides of the old country road, eight miles
north of Wilmington, n. G.
Maj. Clitheralls father, DR.. George
B. Clitherall, was relative and init
mate friend of Gen. Ben Smith, of
North Carolina, who died at Fort John
ston in 1925. Gen. Smith was a man
of high social position and great wealth,
and married Sarah, daughter Of Col.
William Dry, who was colonial gov
ernor of North Carolina. During the
Revolution Gen. Smith was volunteer
member of Washington's staff and mill
tary family, and there always existed
between them the war1nest friendship.
When Gen. Smith learned'of the illness
Of Washington he Immediately left his
home in North Carolina and fastened to
the bedside of his chief, where he re-
manned until Washington died. Many
of the personal belongings Of Washing
ton were presented by his family to Gen.
Smith, who cherished them as long as
he lived, and at his death they were be-
queathed to DR.. Clitherall.
Maj. Clitherall had but one of the slip
pers Ghe Left in his possession, the mate
having been given by his mother to the
British Museum in 1850. In 1876 the
major presented one of Washington's
Masonic aprons (of which there are two)
to lodge in Philadelphia, and on the
day of my visit he sent Washington
library chair to the Minnesota Historical
society. With the exception of this
chair, the right slipper and one of the
Masonic aprons, the rest Of the articles
were in Mai. Clitherall'S possession.
The now famous slippers did not reach
Gen. Smith in the same way that the
other relics did. Gen. Washington, after
his farewell address, went to pay Gen.
Smith visit at the residence of the
latter in North Carolina, and it was
here that he brought them. On re-
turning home he left them behind him,
and they were carelessly put away in
an old closet, and laid there in neglect

GEORGE L. KILMER.

Mount Vernon has so long been public
property that few remember what a
tedious negotiation was required to OBJ
tain it and how one of the Washingtons
speculated on the nations love. In 1858
the Ladies' Mount Vernon association
paid John A. Washington 100000 for
the mansion and 200 acres of land. The
country has therefore consented to for
get John.

at Cowpens.

From the death of Washington till the
civil war it was an almost invariablei
rule that each new state should have a
Washington county, and many counties
in each Washington township. So. of
the thirteen states without Washing
ton county, six were too old and five are
apparently too new.
