The Old Knox Mansion.

At Thomaston. Me-. they sell the General
Knox souvenir spoon This and local
name or two are all that is left there nov
of one of the r,ost famous men of his
time. However the old general had his
day. and these mementos are enough to
bring some of his interesting career to mind.
Until few years ago the Knox mansion
stood where the Knox 4 Lincoln Railroad
station now is. 1t was IA spacious house
with white. ruted pillars on the front
attractive INTELLECTUALLY well as histor-
ically The closing years of the last cen
fury saw many a splendid entertainment at
Montpelier. as they called the place.
General Knox had been a general in the
Revolutionary army and secretary Of war
under the new government. He had been
commander at West Point and was known
as the founder of the famous society called
the Cincinnati. He was also the father OF
our navy.
Naturally his friends were among the
noticeable figures of that time. His hos
pitalitv was on scale of magu,ficence sur
prising to our day and generation. In a
letter to his friend General Jackson. he re
fers to small company they had on july
I, of pwards of 500 people" And this
was not in the most prosperous days. We
wonder almost where the people could have
come from. 1t was perhaps one phase OF
the good old times that everybody was
eligible and the law of selection was sure
and unmistakablc.
Politically, General Knox may have been
as believe Mr.. Parton says he was the
giant shallow of his dimnuitive friend
Hamilton" but personally, he Is said to
have been n strongly magnetic, iikeable
man. His wife, too, was remarkable
woman. She is painted As enormous in
size and ungainy in figure. but of charming
manner. There is pair OF dainty shippers
''worn by Mrs. Lucy Knox, in the fIistorl-
cal Rooms at Portland. besides other inter
esting relies. II was Il love match, scarcely
escaping an elopement so great was the
opposition to the daughter of a British com
manding officer marrying 80 prominent a
rebel" But Mistress Iucys temper was
of that racy sort that was wont as time went
on to stir up considerable of the ire
amnDt,um. followed closely, of course. by
the iategrGtio nmoris. Before guests the
general showed his greatness of intellect in
strategic mannuvres for peace.
After the Revolution, when affairs of
peace began to engage the attention of the
leading minds of the country, General Knox
contracted for million acres of land at
ten cents an acre. These were fo~ the most
part wild lands in Maine, but included what
are now Knox and Lincoln counties. This
was the estate of Governor Lincoln. to
whom he was related.
There was a mortgage upon this vast pur
chase As well as condition, viz. that he
should bring in as settlers, a certain num-
