narily skillful avoidance of battle when
defeat would have been almost certain
and when it required strategy Of the
highest order to avoid it, was carried
out with the patience and the conviction
Of genius. His retreat after the battle
Of Long Island was Of itself, in Glad
stones opinion, sufficient evidence of
great military ability to justify his APP
pointment as commander in chief of the
American armies.
But it was not in respect Of military
quality that MIR. Gladstone regarded
Washington as so -eminently great.
It was in the perfect balance of all his
greater moral and intel SEXUAL qualities

There is now on one Of the most pic
t,lresaue spots on Manhattan island a
statae Of George Washington which has
an interesting history. The statue stands
III Riverside crescent, and is to the lower
end of Riverside drive what the Grant
mausolerm is on grander scale to the
upper The figure stands with its back
to the Hudson, about eighty feet above
the tide. General Egbert L. Viele, who
saved the statue from oblivion, told me
about it as follows:
This piece of statuary is life sizerep-
resentation Of Washington. The first
thing you notice about 1t is it's apparent
smallness. It shows the pater patriee to
have been q much smaller man than
everybody supposes. That is because
ell his statues are either heroic Or colos-
sal. In exalting his character the people
have magnifed his person. It is so the
world over with military and political
heroes. In pers IN Washington was not
a man Of gigantic proportions by any
means. This is q truthful counterfeit,
if may use the paradox. It is one of
FIVE which show him as he was. All
others make him out man of heroic
build. Suppose you look up his biog-
raphies and see if you can find in single
one Of them a specific description Of his
person, with reference especially to his
weight and stature.
s'The original Of this efdgy is in the
capitol at Richmond. It is by Eoudon,
the celebrated French sculptor. Houdon
was given the commission through
Thomas Jefferson.
''He stripped his subject to the buff
and made plaster cast. It is the only
perfect model ever made Of Washington.
The result was the statue ct Richmond.
s'Some time before the rebellion the
general assembly of Virginia authorized
a German sculptor = Guntherman by
name-to make a duplicate Of the Hou.
don statue. and from this four casts were
made. One Of these is the statue in
Riverside drive. Just after the war the
sculptor's widow brought it to New
York end placed it on exhibition in one
Of the public halls. She wanted to sell
it to the city for one of the parks. Her
price was $4,000. It was very cheap
for such piece Of art, but the offer was
declined by the city authorities, and il
was finally decided that a subscription
should be opened among the children Of
the public schools to make up the pur.
chase money in sums of a dime OF less
After considerable exertion $4,000 was
raised, and there the matter stood until
the widow agreed to accept that sum and
to give a bill Of sale to the city.

Last spring it was totally destroyed by
fire, and three tall walls Of blackened
brick and masonry, says contributor
to the New York Evening Post, are all
that is left of the most interesting dwell
ing on the Hudson. It was Benedict
Arnold's headquarters in 1850, and from
it he fled to The enemy. The owner had
gone over to the British some time be-
fore, and Putnam and Parsons lodged
there while campaigning in 177S-9. On
July 81, 1850, Washington took up his
lodgings in the mansion, and five days
later Arnold arrived, having been ap-
pointed to the command Of West Point
and it's dependencies.

granite from New Hampshire and had
pedestal made. When the pedestal was
ready the statue was dedicated. It was
on a Fourth Of July. Children to the
number Of 500, detailed in military form
from the various public schools, carried
out unaided on that day the programme
that had been begun before any Of them
were born. The school commissioners
and 5000 other citizens, with Cappa's
Seventh regiment band, assembled at
the crescent, and the children united in
anthem and song and Grafton to COM
plete in their own way the programme
of inauguration. The Little girls were
dressed in white, and the boys were all
bright and decently clad. Every girl
and boy carried a little flag of the coun-
try, and they all marched in procession
two and two, singing and scattering
flowers about the statue as they passed.
The scene was the most interesting and
touching Of any l ever beheld. And
thus the statue was dedicated"
Soil is now being hauled from Fort
Washington, more than three miles up
the river, to complete bastion front for
the statue, and congress will be asked
to donate two Or more Revolutionary
cannon to place at the angles This
fort was the first geographical point to
be named for Washington, and there is

secrated by the blood of. Cadwalladers

stand, a Spartan band of 1900, against

General Viele originated the idea of
making the bastion front with this soil.
