RELICS OF WASHINGTON.
AN OBSCURE BUNDLE OF ANTIGUA
TIES FROM THE LAST CENTURY.

Our Correspondent Pays Visit to MAI.
George Il. Clitherall, of Mobile, and
the Discoveries He Made VIII Be OF
Interest to All of Uncle Sans People.
Net far from Government, on st.
Emanuel street, in Mobile, Ala, there
stands an unpretentious brick house.
The curious stranger will be family re-
minded as he enters the arcade of this
homely dwelling, with its solitary occu-
pant, Of those houses which are common
to some quarters of New Orleans. OF
this, however, there is perhaps more
about the air of the place than any real
resemblance to those antiquated creole
quarters. As he enters the parlor, with
its central bay window that juts out to
the sidewalk, he will involuntarily pause
before an ancient and venerable book
case, and if he be of literary turn of
mind will note with more than pass
ing interest the heterogeneous mass Of
books that with all their variety Of
bindings crowd close to each other upon
its time honored shelves.
1t was before this musty piece of fur
niture that | stood just about year ago
when | was in Mobile. Upon the top
shelf was a chaotic piece of accumulated
bric-a-brac such as you may see clus-
tered together on the top shelf of any
old bookcase, and among other things
there was brown paper parcel tied
with a piece of old string, and of such
an unassuming appearance that if it
were lying in the street it would attract
scarcely a glance from the passer by;
and yet it would be difficult to find q
cluster of objects of such unusual inter
est as this faded brown paper contained.
1t contained, among other colonial rel
les, George Washington's slipper, part
of his vest, his Masonic apron and two
silver spoons from his camp chest.

The anecdote, told in Weems' rambling
manner, is as amusing as the preli1ni-
nary remarks. He gives as his authority
IAN excellent old lady" and declares
that the narrative is ''too valuable to be
lost and too true to be doubted" The
climax reminds one of Bill Nye in his
happiest vein:
Presently George and his little
hatchet made their appearance. George
said his father, do you know who killed
that beautiful little cherry tree yonder
in the garden? This was tough ques-
ton, and George staggered under it for
moment, but quickly recovered him.
self, and looking at his father with the
sweet face of youth frightened with the
inexpressible charm of all conquering
truth, he bravely cried out: 4 can't tell
lie, pa; you know can't tell lie
did cut it with my hatchet.' Run to my
arms, you dearest boy cried his father
in transports, run to my arms; glad am
(, George, that you killed my tree The
puts premium upon mischief for the
sake of hearing the TRUTH, for you have
paid me for it thousand fold. Such an
act of heroism [althougb the lad knew in
advance that he would not be punished
but commended ], my son, is more worth
than thousand trees, though blossomed
with silver and their fruits of purest
gold"
Though ignored by Sparks, Marshall,
Washington Irving, Ramsay, Losing
and attacked by other serious biogra-
pliers, the myth of the little hatchet has
survived, and probably will survive for
ages to come. Its acceptance and popu-
larity are largely due to writers like Mrs.
c. NJ. Kirkland, who, in 1857, published
life of Washington respectfully adapted
to young people" in which she praises
Weems' entertaining book" and 1.-The
poetic style of the narrator and declares
that the various anecdotes are told with
the richness of Jean Paul" and, in her
opinion, on good authority.
Shorn of its weak preliminaries and
told as if the youthful culprit expected
punishment, the hatchet story became Il
favorite selection in the common school
readers, and served as excellent Il pur-
pose as the best fable from Asop.
The advent of the American l.ulnorist
and the birth Of the comic press made it
still more familiar, and what with the
naming of comedy and a newspaper IN
| its honor, the little hatchet has passed
into a proverb, and, strange to say. be-
| come the very synonym for truth.

dear as You are to my heart, gladly
would | assist to nail you up in your lit
tie coffin and follow you to your grave.
Hard, indeed. would it be to give up
nv son. whose little feet are always SO
ready to run about with me, and whose
fondly looking eyes and sweet prattle
make SO large Il part of my happiness,
but still would give him up rather than
see him a common liar" He next as
sures George that while some parents
compel their children to become liars
"by barbarously beating them for every
little fault" it shall not be so in their
case. Whenever, by accident, you do
anything wrong. which must often be
the case, as y ~ are but poor little boy
yet, without experience or knowledge,
you must never tell falsehood to con-
ceal it. but come bravely up, my son,
like little man. and tell me of it, and
instead of beating you, George, will

Georges penchant for mischief and his
readiness to own up?

pieces of antiquity We're new, and pict-
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 .
simple, rich and elegant appearance.
They serve in 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 a vain man, might have served
the uses Of a looking glass.
Nothing remains Of the waistcoat
which has already been alluded to but
the huge hip flap and pocket laps which
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

THE LITTLE HA1CHE1 MYTH.

Its Origin and DevelOpment-EvOl by
Highly Moral Liar.
Father, cannot tell a ie-I did it
with my little hatchet!" Who can think
of the Father of his Country without re-
calling this affecting story? And yet,
like so many other cherished anecdotes
of great men, it is absolutely without
foundation.
His name was M. L. Weems. He was
a clergyman or preacher by profession,
an adventurer by nature, and loved no.
toriety, money and a wandering life.
So he wrote books which he correctly
believed would meet with popular favor,
and peddled them himself rs he trav-
eled through the country. Chance
brought him to Mount Vernon in the
closing days of Washington's life, and
his commercial instinct at once told him
here was chance for distinction and
dollars such IS he had never met be-
FORE So he produced his famous biog-
raphy, and being the first on the ground
he had things his own way and ran not
in language and alleged "reminiscences.
The best known of his myths are those

to fight or permit fighting among the
boys at school, and the initials in the
garden The last is to the effect that
little Georges father planted seeds in
such a manner that when they sprouted
they formed the initials of the boys
name, and he being much delighted,
the elder Washington explained that it
was the work of the Creator and TINS
inculcated profound belief in God.
This tale is stolen bodily from DR.. Beat
ties biographical sketch Of his son, pub
ished in England in 1899. There is not
scintilla of evidence to support the
others.
But let us examine the little hatchet
story. Tho father Of the young hero,
we are told. took great pains to inspire
his son with an early love of truth. At
ter describing the downward course OF
the prevaricator he is made to exclaim
