from is hard to conjecture, for at

The story of the + is IS fol-

covered the petrified man. His
feet were protruding from the

peculiar stone formation struck it
with his hammer. He hoped as
the miners say, that it would
"show color.,' He knocked off a
big toe from the petriied men.
His curiosity was aroused and
he summoned his comrades.
Together they dug away the soil
in which the man was buried to
the depth of two feet. The entire
form was found we'll preserved.
The position was that of a man
laid out for burial, the hands and
arms being laid across the body.
Undoubtedly the body had first
been buried much deeper. During
the long years it had lain there
the rains had washed the earth
away.

ted the body from its resting
place in a wagon and put it on
exhibition in the smaller towns of

to the attention Of the collector
of prehistoric relics, who pnrchsed
it and now wishes to sell it to the

attested, is an interesting discovery

DR.. Ely was afterwards for sixty
years pastor of the church in
Monson, Massachusetts, and
from his daughter I have heard it..
We quote from 'the, written
word:"
''In the autumn of 1880, during
Washington's first presidential
term, he made a journey to Boston
following up the west side of the
Connecticut River, and crossing it
at Springfield. He travelled in his
English coach drawn by four
horses, with footmen, positions,
and out riders.
"As they approached the river
in the town of West Springfield
one of the outriders galloped ahead
and helda parley with the driver
H. u
sf loaded kay-wagon, to induce
him to turn out and allow Wash
ington's chariot to pass. He re-
fused to yield an inch of the road,
and the state chariot patiently
followed the wagon for some dis
tance, until, at a safe point it
passed by to the bank of the
river.
"While waiting for the ferry
boat, Washington stepped out of
his coach, when one Of the
approached, and, salut-
ing him deferentially, said, with
an air of injured dignity:
"!Your E1cellency, as / was
riding along, a little way back, we
overlook a man with a loaded cart,
which occupied the entire road. I
asked him to stop his team, and
let us pass; but he refused I then
told him that President Washing
ton was in the coach. He refused
again, saying that he had as
good a right to the road as Presi-
dent Washington

was: 1And SO he had

Washington And His Coach:
BY WILLIAM ELLIOT eR1FF1s.

Ceatain states of the original
thirteen are peculiarly associated
with the life of Washington. In
Virginia, he spent his earliest,
possibly his happiest, days. In
Massachusetts, he made a grand
military beginning. and, in later
life, a tour in state. In New York,
he experienced disaster and grief,
though these were afterwards
eclipsed by the pomp of his
Inauguration. In New Jersey, the
darkest shadows and brightest
lights il both achievement and
character were manifest. In Penn
sylyania, he first began to be an
explorer and a soldier, here first dis
playing the greatness of his charac-
ter here also his greatest work as
statesman was done.
In philadelphia, in accordance
with the spirit of tho times, and
h what Washington believed to
bt the proprieties of his station.
be lived in stately style. Not the
least striking indication of the
importance of the President and
of the government was the
splendid coach in which Wash
ington rode to church, and when
travelling on outings for health.
Made in Europe, and especially
imported for the presidential use,
it was of white decorated with
medallions, When travelling, this
white coach with four bay. horses,

same number of footmen and
postillious, with its fierce-must-
achioed coachman in white and
red livery, with cooked hat and

overawe the rural spectators. In
our day, such splendor of official
dignity would not be relished. We
are more democratic than our
fathers.

APETRIFIED MAN :
"A. Curiosity from the Black Hills
Offered:sc the Government.

A Well-known collector Of
prehistoric relics has what is
asserted tosbe o real petrified man,
which he is trying to dispose of
to the government scientists. He
would like to have this interesting
specimen on pubic exhibition at
the national capital. It was found
two weeks ago in the Black Hills
by some cowboys. Eminent physi-
clans pronounce 1T a genuine
petrifaction ola human body and
the mort interesting of it's kind
ever discovered.
It's saidto be from 2OOto 800
years old, the body of q Caucasian
probably q hunter or trapper. He
was undoubtedly killed by In
dians. His body was buried in a
calcareous soil. Hence the flesh
and other parts Of the body were
found mostly replaced by lime
stone formation.
There is no suggestion of disease
in the body and, therefore, it is
supposed that death came suddenly
The musclesSare round and full;
the chest and shoulders those of a
giant. The head is well shaped,

confgurations OF. the skin.
especially on the neck, face, wrists
and finger joints, are distinctly
visible.
The lowet limbs are small, but
the feet are well formed: and on
one of the:sbig toes there is

of the ankles are clearly outlined

~ ap Ire gateway, held iirmly
and promptly stopped by Fritz the
coachman, all eyes turned from
the equipage to the lady and
gentlman soon to emerge. Fritz
had been a Hessian soldier. None
sooner or more than Washington
saw into the true character of these
worthy Germans, victims of the
very spirit against which Wash
ington had fought. With Fritz on
the box, the coach was safe, and
the horses sure to be we'll held in
when confronted by danger on the
road. Amid profound and even
reverent silence the stately form
moved across the pavement, up the
churchyard, and into the old
edifce which has no door at the
Oriental, but only on the southern
side.
Many a time did John Harby'a
children, as they have often told
us,stray across the grassy meadows
from the old Lutheran Church at
Fifth and CHERRY Streets, to
Christ Church, in order Ito look
with childish awe on the Father
of his Country. 1t. was John
Harby,s German 'countrymen, OF
descendants of them, who first
gave Washington this affectionate
title. Most worthy of the honor
was this tolerant and far-sighted
man. Already he saw that the
United States was not an English
nation, not a new England, not
a people with single strain of
blood. Even in his own time he
understood clearly that this
country is q new Europe, a new
Christendom. The old names Of
New France. New Sweden, New
Netherland, New England, must
pass away, and the Uuited States
of America be the only name worth
keeping. Hence his recognition ot
the virtues, the merits, the sterling
character, Of the French, German
Dutch, Irish, Scotch, Welsh, a,
we'll as of English descended peo
pie in the army, in the government
and in the country at large.
Despite his great personal dig
nifty, reserved manners, and. hi
aristocratic bearing, Washington
had a warm heart for the humbles
and, especially after his Revolu
tionory experiences, a sympathy
with common folks. Besides th'
many anecdotes in print and vel
known. the following, we think
illustrates strikingly this trait
