GENERAL WASHINGTON.

GENERAL WASHINGTON.
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 ap-
pointment as commander in chief Of the
American armies.
But it was not in respect of military
quality that Mr.. Gladstone regarded
Washington as so pre-eminent1y great.
It was in the perfect balance of all his
greater moral and intellectual qualities
that this pre-eminence lay. His patience,
according to Mr.. Gladstone, was some
thing exceeding that of any other man
who achieved greatness, for it was pa
tience under extraordinary irritations,
and patience exercised for no personal
ambition, but simply for the cause.
His conception Of what the govern
ment which he was seeking to establish
should be was quite as distinct and COM
prehensive as that of Hamilton, Jay,
Madison or jefferson, although he prob
ably could not have set forth in legal ar
gument as they did the reasons for that
conception. They were admirably set
forth in his messages, and especially in
his farewell address, although there are
indications that some of the messages
were written by Hamilton, while the
farewell address was unquestionably
written by Livingston, although some
writers believe that Madison wrote it.
But if the phraseology was that of the
secretary the ideas were those Of Wash
ington. and he undoubtedly set them
forth tO his secretaries, asking them, who
were more familiar with the literary use
of the pen than he, to put them in fitting
language.
Mr.. Gladstone regards the finest
triumph Of noble, unselfsh, patriotic
and majestic impulse to be illustrated
by one brief incident in Washington's
career. When Washington refused the
crown, then the world had the finest ex-
empli6cation of noble, majestic nature.
The incident is not as familiar as it
should be. American youth know that
Washington captured CORVALLIS, made
a brilliant retreat after the battle of Long
Island and worried and frctted the Brit
ish armies into exhaustion during seven
years war. They also know that he was
president twice and declined to become
president a third time. There are not
many who know that the only time tears
were seen in his eyes and the manifesto
ton Of great personal sorrow was made
to those about him was upon that oc-
casion at the close of the war when his
army, encamped upon the banks of the
Hudson, was about to be disbanded. There

he uttered the now historic words,
Whom can we now trust"
But when these officers proposed to
him the empire and tried to put the
scepter in his hand Washington broke
down. There was sorrow and there was
anger in his countenance and in his man.

THE SENSE OF SMELL IN Docs
Dogs are able to track their masters
through crowded streets, where recog-
milton by sight is quite impossible, and
can find hidden biscuit even when
its faint smell is still further disguised
by ell de cologne. In some expert
ments Mr.. Romanes lately made with a
dog he found that it could easily track
him when he was far out of sight,
though no fewer than eleven people
had followed him, stepping exactly in
his footprints, in order to confuse the
scent.
The dog seems to track him chiefly
by the smell of his boots, for when
without them or with new boots on it
failed, but followed, though slowly and
hesitatingly, when his master was with
out either boots or stockings. Dogs
and cats certainly get more information
by means of this sense than q man can.
They often get greatly excited over
certain smells and remember them for
very long periods.-Chamber's Jour-
nal.

pure white luster ofsnow is due to the
fact that all the elementary colors of
light are blended together in the ra-
dance that is thrown off from the SUR
face of the various crystals. More
than a thousand distinct and perfect
forms of snow crystals have been EMU
merated and figured by the various in
vestigators in that line. One hundred
and tifty-one different forms were once
observed by the English scientist,
Glashier, who carefully made engrav-
ings Of each and printed them in a

A cAUcAsIAN SPREE.

another place found a man suffering from a most loathsome skin disease roll ing cigars. The wonder is that sick ness does not spread more than it does. So far as cleanliness, virtue and decency is concerned the Chinaman is far and away ahead of this class of Italians, Russians, Poles and Bohemians.
 "To be sure the Chinaman smokes opium, but an opimm smoker is not nearly so much of 8 public nuisance as a whisky drinxer. When the Chinaman goes on spree he lies down on his bunk and smokes himself to sleep. When our other foreign citizens go on a spree they drink whisky at two cents a glass or stale beer at a cent a pint until they get quarrelsome and have a fight. The Chinaman has from long genera tions of training been taught to respect the laws, to live hygienically and to mind his own business. The European immigrant of the lower class comes here deeply imbued with socialistic and anarchistic ideas which are fostered by the disappointments they encounter in 8 land where they had been led to look for sudden afauence. My claim is that immigration of all sorts should be re stricted, that we have reached point where we must protect ourselves. l quite agree with you that we need farmers in the west and farm hands in the east and mill hands and factory operatives and laborers. We do not need tenement house dwellers in our big cities, but to make a distinction against the Chinese is un-American and outrageous" and Goldbugge twisted his mustache and looked unnaturally fierce.
 Cadley nodded his head sagely and murmured: That's sos" while Crobein, completely hoored by Goldie's elo- quence, remarked meelxly:
 "Wen, of course, don't know so much about it as you do, as I've never done any stunning myself. only judge from what read in the papers and from what know of the need ot men to develop the resources of the country. I always had an idea that the Chinese work cheap and were gen. orally undesirable" Goldbugge had risen from his chair to go but he paused to deliver one parting shot.

Finally, upon observing that there were no signs of breakers on the former site of the island, he ordered that they sail directly across where the island had formerly been. Soundings were again taken, which. resulted in finding that the island had only sunk to depth of forty-eight feet below the surface.

There were great cases of champagne lying about and the word went round among our men that it was real pain with no sham to it, for when we did knock the l. tops of the bottles off the wine all went out at one spurt, and we could
