parson woems and His Histories.

had not been long in Washington when Parson Weems was pointed out to me as the author of "The Life of Wash ington." Young Virginia called him "Pappy" Weems, but to mo the reverend little old gentleman was an object of especial veneration. Before l was old enough to read used to cry over tho incidents of the childhood of Washing ton as given in Weems' little volume, and read to me by my older brothers. b George did not cut down the fine old English cherry tree" but only "hacked" it with tho new little hatchet of which his father had made him present
 His confession-"Father l cannot tell lie; you know cannot tell lie; did cut it with my hatchet"-sounds Q trihe less heroic, yet far more true to nature, when it is known that at the south children and servants are still in the habit of saying of things they arc forbidden to do, "I cannot do it." mean ing that they are not permitted to do it. George never told lie that we know of, but he could swear-under great provo cation.
 On the morning of the battle of Mon- mouth General Leo was under orders to attack the enemy at certain hour, but he allowed the time to pass without obeying the order. An old soldier who was present told me that General Wash ington rode up and exclaimed, By -, General Lee. what does this meanY' suppose that oath shared the fate of Uncle Toby's. The artist Mills, in his equestrian statue of Washington, seized the moment when he in his heroic rage dashed forward in advance of his staff to charge upon the enemy, leaving Lee to sulk at his leisure After the battle of Monmouth Lee retired to merited obscurity.
 The Monmouth incident proves that Washington, with all his Fabian eau tion, was, upon occasion. bold and dar- ing, even to tho verge of rashness. The in- cident of the wild, ,unbroken colt, that fell dead under him, is another illustration of his daring spirit, as well as his great physical strength, recalling to mind the tanning of Bucephalus by Alexander the Great and the war horse which none but Caesar could mount. 5.

surrel1ng, almost naked men he retreated more than hundred miles before a powerful foe flushed with victory and strengthened with abundance. He baf- fled all their endeavors to cut him off, and preserved all his field pieces, ammu- milton and nearly all his stores. There was grandeur in his achievements that far surpassed any ordinary victory. At this juncture congress invested him with almost dictatorial authority, and Gen. eral Sullivan hastened to join him with Lees destitute troops
 Washington then crossed the Della ware, destroyed the bridges and seized all the boats for distance of seventy miles up and down the river These he either destroyed or placed under guard on the west bank. Here he stationed his army, with the broad river between him and his foes. He then had about five or six thousand men, and hero he awaited events in silence and somber gloom, yet always on the alert to seize any occasion to strike blow where it would do most good or defend his wretched army from their powerful en- emy, Never had the prospects of the colonies seemed so dark, and it may be doubted if they were ever again so dark. The British generals, as all their letters show, considered the war practically at an end There might be few moro des- ultory fights, but tho rebel army would rapidly dissolve. How sudden arc the transitions of human affairs, how vair the pride of the naughty! In a few days the tide was suddenly to turn and events occur to make the banks of the Dela- ware immortal in song and story and pictorial art.

DARK DAYS INDEED.

From the Evacuation of Brooklyn to the
 Historic Night on the Delaware. Wash
 ington Shed Many Tears. but Never
 Despaired,
 After the first misfortune of his career in the Revolution-the loss of Brooklyn Washington established his headquar- ters at Kingsbridge, but his force was % small that he found the enemy clos ing in upon him from every side. Con- gress then, by vote, left the fate of the city in the hands of Washington, and he called council of war, at which it was decided that the evacuation of the city was necessary, and the movement was begun not a moment too soon. On the re- treat several of the companies of troops were thrown into panic by the can nonade from the ships of war, and showed the most shameful cowardice. Washington was disgusted with them and almost in despair. Are these the men," he exclaimed vehemently, with whom am to defend AmericaY'
 However. he soon regained his calm. The city was finally abandoned so rap idly that the most of the heavy cannon and considerable amount of stores were left behind It was d terrible day-hot, sultry and oppressive. The confusion was terrible and the suffering intense.

It was of old fashioned ''peachblow" faille, with demi- train, cut princess shape Around the front was festoon of steel and pearl bead trimming held by upturned os- trich tips. A narrow ruche of feather trimming outlined vest front, below which, on the hips, fell deep trimming of the same. and there was necklace of the same around the slender neck. The sleeves could be better understood than described The train comes from the center of the back, fan shape. Feather trimming ornaments the sleeves and punches are on the shoulders. A fan of the samo pink feathers completes the costume, which is easily copied. It needs ten yards of faille.

The army was remembered with women and children tottering along, moaning crying, faint, thirsty, exhausted and in unutterable woe" Colonel Humphreys wrote:
 'l had frequent opportunity that day of beholding Washington issuing orders, encouraging the troops. flying on his horse covered with foam wherever his presence was most necessary Without his extraordinary exertions the guard must have been inevitably lost. and it is possible the entire corps would have been cut in pieces.
 Washington settled upon the upper part of Manhattan island and estab- hshed fortified camp About a mile below him the British line began and extended until backed by the fleet be- low. Here he remained, fighting sev- eral small battles with varying success until it became clear to him that this position was no longer tenable, and he retired in good order with his troops to the mainland and fortified camp on White Plains. Several skirmishes took place, with the result of teaching the British that they should use caution in approaching the Americans. of whom one officer wrote

And all this time there was a perpetual clamor his continued retreat
 It would have been the act of a mad man to follow any other course then There were. on the other hand, friends and others who appreciated the gran; deur of Washington and understood his struggle, but the same motives that kept him silent kept them silent too
 Washington with his feeble, dis heartened band, fingered in state of fearful destitutiOn ut Brunswick until the lst of December. The enemy in solid columns were marching proudly through the country with infantry, ar tillery and cavalry, impressing horses, wagons, sheep, cattle and everything which could add to the comfort of his warmly clad and we'll fed hosts.
 Irving says: The people of New Jer- sey beheli the commander in chief re- treating through their country with a handful of men weary and way worn, dispirited. without tents, without cloth ing, many of them barefootcd. exposed to wintry weather, and driven from post to post by well clad. triumphant force tricked out in all the glittcring bravery of war
 "The chill winds of winter were moan ing over the fields and ice was be- ginning to clog the swollen streams. About l,2OO men were stationed at Princeton tu watch the movements of the enemy On the 2d this harassed army reached Trenton In that dark hour, when all hearts failed. Washing ton still remained undaunted He wrote to General Mercer; We must retire to Augusta coiin;y. in Virginia Numbers will repair to us for safety We will try predatory war if overpowered we must cross the Alleghanies 2"
 In these hours of deSpondency and disinay Admiral Howe and his brother the general. on the 30th of November, issued a proclamation offering pardon to all who would disband and return to their homes Many of those who had property to lose complied with these terms. On the 2d of December the British reported that Washington was seen retreating with two brigades to Trenton, whore they talk of resisting But such panic has seized the rebels that no part of the Jerseys will hold them, and doubt whether Philadelphia itself will stop their career. Congress has lost authority; they are in such con- sternation that they know not what to ao."
 And all this time Leo was lettering at Morristown with about 4,000 men, until the 18th, when, fortunately for the good of his country, he was captured and car ried to Brunswick.
 Washington combined in his character to an astonishing degree courage and prudence Is is doubtful whether there was another man on the continent who could have conducted his retreat through the Jerseys. With these few wretched.

A Fireproof Solution for Dresses.

A chemist of Vienna has succeeded in discovering composition which will make even the slight material of ballet dancers dresses fireproof. The Prince of Lichtenstein gave this composition a first trial on the stage in his own palace in the presence of numerous company. The rise of the curtain discovered two life sized dolls, dressed as ballet girls, to both of which light was applied. One of the dolls was rapidly reduced to ashes, while the other, well saturated with the protective composition, es- caped with small hole in her dress Pittsburg Dispatch.

How tho Peach Was Produced.

That the luscious peach has been de. rived from the hard shelled almond can no longer be successfully denied. It is said that the peach in its original soil was virulcnt poison, and that the Per sian warriors brought to Persia some of the seeds and planted them for the pur- pose of poisoning the points of their ar. rows so as to render wounds caused by them to be fatal, but change of climate and soil produced fruit which is not only luscious, but is esteemed exceeding ly healthful.

Some of them have borders like the shawls, others again have the palm leaf pattern scattered all over. One of the handsomest was pale gray ish blue, with softly shaded red and green and gold pattern.
 Another of cream white had palm leaf pattern in black, gold and faint red and green. cannot describe the singu- lar beauty of this pattern. These gowns will be made up mostly for house wear, though some few young ladies may wear them on the street for Easter toilets.
 The new all wool checks are very pretty in their delicate tones-pale blue and green. with lawn and light browns, being the favorites. Several "fancies" in plaids, where the body is dark greens and blues, with an overlying lattice work of sulphur yellow, are considered just the thing for school dresses for young girls, and for ordinary wear for young ladies they should be made on the bias.
 Diagonals in light weights and sum- mer cheviots arc all shown now many of them having pretty borders for skirts but more quite plain.

MRS. LEASE FOR SENATOR.

The Movement to Send Her to Washing
 Growing Stronger.
 TOPEKA, Kas., Nov 1S.-The Populists and Democrats getting wider apart over the Senatorial squabble. Judge John Martin wants the position, but the information that he received yesterday that there are 35 Populist members who will stand with Mrs. Lease in the middle of the road and against any Democrat has discouraged him.
 Whether these 35 will vote for Mrs. Lease is unknown, but she will have a great influence with them, and to prevent them going to Jerry Simpson or Demo crat she will be candidate herself.
 When she was asked if it was possible for her to get enough votes she said: Anything is possible with God and the farmers of Kansas"

UNCLE SAM'S FINANCES
A Deficiency Probable for the
 Next Fiscal Year.
REVENUES NOT UP TO THE MARK

Secretary Foster Says Taxes Must be 1n-
 creased, or Else Appropriations foI
 Public Buildings, etc., Must be Aband-
 oned and Work Suspended.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S-Secretary Eos ter and those Treasury officials who have intimate knowledge of the receipts and expenditures of the Government are giving much thought and attention just now to the subject of probable deh- ciency in the revenues for the next fiscal year. This question comes up naturally in considering what the probable revenue of the Government will be so that he may submit to Congress, as he is by law re quired to do so, the amount of revenue expected.
 The estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury must be taken for their action as a guide by Congress upon the appro- priation bills. In arriving at this estt- mate the average receipts from customs, internal revenue and incidental sources of revenue, have to be taken into consid- eration.
 The receipts from internal revenue 1t ia expected will continue to naturally in- crease with the growth and population and as no legislation has recently passed to effect it. But it is not so with GUS toms duties. These duties, with no dis turbing element to affect them, would be stable, subject only to the law of supply and demand and the condition of the money market.
 With a new administration coming into power, expected to lower duties on a number of articles and to put others on the free list a state of uncertainty Is created that prevents a close estimate of turiR futfna co1l0cfA6
 Merchants will not buy goods not actu ally needed when they expect the duties on them to be lowered or put on the free list
 The practical effect of this is to reduce the customs revenues. It is already felt at the Treasury Department, the revenues for this month being less SO far than for the same part Of Sho corresponding mon tn of last year.
 The expenditures, however, must con- tinue at the same rate until July l, being regulated by Congressional enactments, which cannot be repealed until the next fiscal year.
 Take the sugar bounty, for instance. This year it will reach SIG, 900, 900, an in- crease over last year of g., 1000, 900. This bounty will have to be paid by March 4, 1893.
 The pension outlay Is increasing with eacn 1nontn, anu AU AS AhAolPoCou EAe1I this month 1t will reach $16, ,000, 900, and grow each month for the next three years, until it will take SIS, 900, 00O or $3O, 900, 900 a month to pay pensions. These pensions are fixed by general laws.
 In view of the condition that confronts him, Secretary Foster says that there will be deficiency this year and probably 8 larger one next year.
 To meet this, he says. he would not be surprised if taxes were increased or else appropriations for public buildings and river and harbor improvements aband- oned and work suspended.

 That men will do for glory what they never would do for money is magnif- iOently illustrated at fire.
