tory. There he is strangely silent cou.
cerning the name of his early love.
He INDUCED, however, in poetry of the
most commonplace amatory kind, in
which Cupid's dart is made TO rhyme
with heart, and he records his woes in
lugubrious style, after the fashion of
the lover "sighing like furnace"
1t was soon after this episode that
George Washington renounced the
comforts of home and set out with Col.
George Fairfax on surveying expe-
dition through the mountains of Vir-
ginia. There he began to be cured of
his unhappy passion, which had taken
deep hold of his nature and which
had been revived and accentuated by
the tender attentions of beautiful
young lady into whose society he was
much thrown.
After three years spent in the survey
of the enormous tracts of land belong
ing to the Fairfax property, the first
indications of the French and Indian
war were noticeable, and young Wash
ington, who was only nineteen, was APP
pointed adjutant of the Virginia troops
with the rank of major. Ayear or two
later, when he had barely attained his
majority, he was made commander of
the northern military district of Vir-
ginia, by order of Lieut.. Gov. Dinwid-
die.
There now appeared upon the
threshold of George Washington's life
u colossal figure, that for time at
least was destined to eclipse all mem
ory of his unfortunate love affair. 1t
was the figure of his harassed and dis
tracted country which stretched forth
appealing arms to all her true-hearted
and patriotic sons, to solicit their aid
ere she plunged into that sea of
troubles which threatened to engulf
her. He had already shown a wonder
full force of character as of one born to
command. He was familiar with the
tactics of war, a soldier in the practice
of arms from his childhood, and while
he was filling the peaceful position of
public surveyor grand colonizing
scheme had been set on foot, and al
ready, though he dreamed not of it, his
future destiny had been shaped. He
had many hardships to contend with,
and one terrible illness, before he began
that heroic career which placed his
name high on the horizon of fame as
patriot, commando and hero, and
made him the first president of these
United States of America.
1t was just after the defeat of Brad
dock, where George Washington re-
ceived not single wound although ex-

Was dearer than the bond of life
Who yielded all for freedoms laws
And wavcred not when in the strife,
But led her armies on.
In all his life was found no guile;
New hope TO new race he gave
His fame outshine's loved Bedloes isle;
His glory rests not in the grave
That shines forever on.
Christian and friend to all mankind,
lie knew their great, their sovereign need;
Long, long he toiled that they might find
Their pathway from the tyrant freed,
And freedom call them on.
Count not the joys, count not the woes
OF him that fought in freedoms name;
All pleasure comes, all pleasure goes,
For him who presses through the flame
And leads his comrades on.
List Massachusetts note of praise!
Harl Georgia sounds her choral seal
And California chimes the lays
OF great state that was to bel
These bear the victory on.
No greater soul e'cr graced the sphere;
His spirit gave heroic fire.
Heaven rest him in our memories dear,
And with his love our hearts inspirel
Thus he will lead us on.

MITCHELL NAY BE ARRESTED.
He Has Violated the Law in Signing
Articles to Fight COrbett.

NEW YORK, Sept. 2Z.-While Police
Superintendent Byrnes will not admit that
he is after Charles Mitchell, the English
pugilist, for having violated the law in
signing articles with Corbett, it is gener-
ally believed among sporting men that he
will get his hands on Mitchell if he can
find a reasonable semblance of provoca-
ton. 1t is known that the Superintend-
ent Is not in love with the Englishman,
because Of his personal characteristics, and
the inference is but natural that IL Mr..
Byrnes can get near the fighter he will
jump at the opportunity. In fact, it looks
very much as though he were now jump
ing. Whether he can catch his man or
not is another question. 1t will be very
hard to prove that the Englishman signed
the articles in this city. At the time that
he is alleged TO have done so nobody was
present except himself and Judge New
ton. The pair left the crowd of reporters
and others who had gone to the hotel to
see what was done and adjourned to a pri-
vate room. When they came out again
they both said that the terms of the docu-
ment had been all agreed to, but no out
slider witnessed the process. 1t Is scarcely
likely that either man will admit SO much
now, and Judge Newton will, doubtless.

MISTAKE OF A LIFE
The Most Terrible Mistake Pos
Sible to Make.
And the Frightful Results Which
Followed.
All Should be Careful to Avoid This
Great Danger.
The world Is careless.


And il is Just this carelessness which consti-
tutes the greatest element OF danger.
From little things grow great things-a small
beginning often results in an awful and disas-
trous ending.
A well-known gentleman has just passed
through an experience which perfectly demon
strates this. He began to have certain feelings
which he could not explain. He grew languid
and tired, felt weak. in fact, after any kind OF
e%xertlon. He had headache, dizziness, and his
stomach and bowels troubled him. There was q
sediment IN his water. After q while he had
numb spells. trembling feeling In his legs. arms
and body. Then there came prickling sensations
in his fingers and toes.
Suddenly he had a shock of paralysis.
For the simple reason that he had for months
neglected, through ignorance Of their real mean
ing and danger, the gradually gro wing symptoms
of this awful disease.
This gentleman, who is no other than the WELL
known William t. Cox, ESQ.,, of Isl Friendship
street, Providence, r. J., as a lesson 10 others

which so surely lead to paralysis, stated to Nc
the facts of his case, trusting that others viii

TERRE HAUTE. Sept. 2z.-Brighter skies
and q soft southwest wind brought ont q
larger crowd for the second day OF the fall
race meeting OF the Western-Southern Chr
cult. 1t was an ideal racing day. and the
track was ct velvet edge. IL seemed a sure
thing yesterday, when the 2.17 trot was
carried over, that Hiideburn wonld win TO-
day. and he did not disappoInt his hackers.
He came out in good shape for the first
event On the card, and MoHenry had no
trouble landing him winner. Although
Hal billiard was favorite In the 2:l4 pace,
there was q contingent of the talent that
believed the Villsse Farm entry had shown
in such poor form at st. Joseph that Paul
would have an equal show. and the short.
red Bald Barnet gelding found plenty of
hackers. When the chestnut geidlng
pulled away from the crowd and captured
the fret heat, Paul's hackers continued to
pile their money oD him. 1t took lots OF
scoring to get them Oft in the second heat.

With only three staRers in the 2:l2 trot
Mark Sirius ought to have won hands

heat in the slow time OF 2:1S the judges
warned Schuler that Sirius must not be left
again. Reina knocked one and one-fOurth
seconds OFT her record IN the second. after
which Sirius captured the race in ding-dong
fashion.
A great field of horses scored mp for the
2:3S trot and marked the downfall OF An

hot choice. and in only one pool had some
one outbid OH Cartridge last night. SO fast

EiICopurB
the dispute among members Of the
House OF Representatives over clerkships
may result In the saving Of a consider
able sum TO the people. The Eastern
democrats, who were deprived of clerk
ships, which were chiefly useful to pro-
vide places for friends at the public ex-
pense, think OF retaliating with a bill 10
reduce mileage. The congressman who
opposed clerkships were mostly from the
South and West, with long distances to
travel, and for whom the 20 cents a mile
travelling expenses amounted to a snug
sun. This rate was established long ago
when travelling was much more expensive
than 1t is now, and it is quite time that a

needed to reach the national capital on
