UsFILrAL WASHINGTON.


A New and Unpleasant Light Cast ON
Georges Character.
There was read recently atawuman's
club q letter written by George Wash
ington which casts slight reflection
upon the filial qualities Of the father
Of his country. It seems that Nine.
Washington, had suggested spending
the winter with her distinguished son,
because she was afflicted with the
rheumatism, and the roof of her house
leaked.
To which the son, who has been held
MP as model for all sons, replied that
as for her room, he would have it
shingled, and for her rheumatism he
would send doctor, but that it would
be impossible to receive her at his
home, for three reasons: First. she
could not eat at the table with his
guests without causing remarks from
them; second, If her meals were sent
to her room it would inconvenience his
wife; and, third, if she were to eat
with the servants it would cause scan
dalous talk. IF the document is gem
ine--and its aYeracity has not been
questioned--it would appear that the
hero Of the Ratchet story was not un'
like the generality of sons.

hardly giving any other sign of life ex-
cept an occasional groan or gritting
of the teeth. unable to take any food,
he has laid on the bed where he breath

HAaEKsTowN wATER SCARCE,

Scarcity Of water is feared in Hagers-
town, owing to the long-prevailing
drought. The artesian wells at the re-
servoir can only pump 900, 900 gallons
daily, and Hagerstown is now using
more than this amount every twenty
four hours. A million gallons are in
the reservoir, but this is held in case
of fire. 1t is thought that street
sprinkling and other uses of water viii
have to be stopped. The Western
Maryland Railroad, which used 24,5OO
gallons daily, we're ordered to get sup
plies for their engines elsewhere.
