GEORGE WASHINGTON
His Birthday Has Been q Ma
tiOnal Festival Since 1879.
WHOLE WORLD CELEBRATES IT,
February - . Holiday In Nearly Every
State-N0table Dem onstrations In
the Early Days.

The celebration of the birthday of WASH
ington reaches back to the beginning of
our history as nation. In the old family
Bible once belonging to Mary Washington
may be seen in the handwriting of her
Industrious son the record of his birth on
the 1lth Of February, 1892 (old style), and
the record of his baptism some weeks
after, with the names of his sponsors. The
curious will find this and many other in
teresting facts of his life in Elizabeth
Bryant Johnston's compendium called
George Washington; Day by Day."
In 1873 we have the first record Of pub
lie celebration of this birthday, in letter
from one OF the officers in the field, writ
ing from Winchester. Va. on Sunday. the
l4th of February. He mentions it in q
casual manner. among much detail as to
the care of the horses, and as if the cir
cumstances were quite matter of course.
Last night ended the celebration of
Gen. Washington's birthday; it began on
Thursday"
Apparently this occasion included both
a dinner with toasts and bail. long a
favorite method Of observing the day after
peace was declared.
IN the very midst of war, however.
Rochambeau marked the day with fete
at Newport, when the whole French army
gave themselves up to rejoicing. and the
count wrote to his communicating chief
with quainlness more truthful than
exact: I'VE will celebrate with deep re-
greet that you are not here, witness to
the effusion and goodness of our hearts!"
Two years later. in 1888, peace was an as
sured fact. and no opportunity seemed
more fitting to exuit over the happy result
than the birthday of the man who had
achieved it. In Richmond we are told the
day was commemorated with the utmost
demonstrations of joy" and q contempt

demon stration of joy at Talbot county
cour. house, in Maryland. This being

eral hath been announced to the public.
the officers and gentlemen Of the country
assembled at noon to celebrate the auspi-
cOus day." and to drink toasts to the
patriotic number of thirteen, opening with
Gen. Washington, long may he live, the
boosted hero of liberty!"
The pleasing custom spread with great
rapidity without declining in the place Of
its birth. Richmond continued the usual
demonstrations of joy" the next year with
an elegant entertainment at the capitol in
the evening; in New York ''all the true
friends OF American independence and
constitutional liberty" celebrated the
birthday with that hilarity and manly
decorum ever attendant on the sons Of
freedom" including salute of thirteen
guns and an entertainment on ''the East
Indian ship" in the harbor; while "a Sc
lect club Of wings" gathered according to
what was already their annual custom,

within the circle Of visible impressions, SO
that it may never be forgotten for a mo-
ment. As put by the Roman Catholics:
"His faithful children wish to congratu-
late him and to have some public recOg-
milton of the event" Hence several coun-
tries got up pIigrimages for the purpose of
giving Catholics at a great distance the
opportunity of seeing the earthly head of
their church. Richer persons contributed
large donations, so as to make the expen-
ses of the journey less for those not so
wealthy. Most of these pilgrimages we're
organized by committees and are headed by
one distinguished man from each country.
The pope and those of his officials whose
duty it is to attend to all matters of recep-
ton. have arranged days for giving audi
ences to the various sets of pilgrims each
set being seen separately as set. but not

Dear brother poet, you do write
A very pleasant ditty,
About some mean and luckless wight,
And. faith. you DO 1t witty;
Blu; seems to me you have not told
One half the sad recital:
The part that Makes the-heafs grow colo
You've lett out. nearly quite all
It's not oil being born and bred
Where poverty aud sin are,
For countless erring ones are led
From homes OF wealth and culture.
Ills mans inhuman, selfah greed
To'rd this weak, careless brother,
Skilled in the craft Of he'll to lead.
And manhood's spark to smother.
Behind the shining bar he stands,
The weil-fed imp OF darkness,
And CATERS broadca,t DER the land
The seeds OF sin and distress;
And what cares he for want and shame
Himself in wealth doth revel;
The silly dupes themselves may blame;-
"They may so to the devil"
Then, when some drunken wretch you see
Borne to the city bastile,
o! scorn him not. but pittyingly
Regard him, though SO vile;
But let your whitening, hot contempt
Seek out the damn'o creature
Who wrought his iall-may none exempt
10 Scorn his every feature.
No, fore you win from ms respect
Give back the stolen treasure,
O. blighted hopes, of bright lives wrecked.
OF wasted wealth and pleasure.
Tho. hap. you win some lofty seat
That satisfies ambition,
Disguised tho t be. you a. must meet
The scorn Of all creation.

lCopyriRht, 1898, By Edgar W. NyAl
Last evening We stopped at the Pompa-
dour house. It is good house, but at 9
O'Clock the cook goes home, after locking
up the doughnuts, and spends the night
at his residence over beyond the fair
ground. This makes it impracticabie to
get good lunch at II o'clock at the
house.
We have formed the habit of eating at
this hour. As We are not very hungry at 8.
and at 1880 We are quite fatigucd with our
dramatic and artistic programme. % We
have our bouquets and floral horseshoes
sent to the hotel and so out diminishing
for late tea.
Last evening. tho town being . small
one with a college to it. we found the
streets all dark, save here and there
where the soft light from some gilded
but sinful lager beer place seemed to i'm
vite one.
Oh. it is a fearful thing to be on the
streets Of town, stranger and hungry,
while all seems so dark and cold except
sin. All, think of it as you cit by your
own warm fire with children clambering
over your knee! Think Of it you who
have never been hungry, and yet you
murmur at the rich warm piel
Think of it you who have never gone
forth in the darkness not knowing where
the next meal was coming from, while
each door was locked and even the great
figure of the clothing store statue taken
inside where it is warm. Then the rich
rays shoot out from the wicked lager beer
place. where you know that light and
warmth and a glad welcome await you.
1t was suggested that We go in here and
get q sausage and some altar Of imberger
cheese. But, no." said as recalled tho
vivid description of John h. Cough and
ofthe gay company sailing toward Niagara
falls and at last going over with an eternal
plunge. I'VE will not 60 in there. II We
take cheese now. We will some day want
something stronger"
So we tOiled on till at last We came to q
confectionery place where six or eight mad
jewellers who had come from . distance by
sleigh were eating oysters and caramels
before going home. Half of these were
girls who conversed all at the same time
and the other half were young men who
laughed at what the girls said.
The saloon was used for ice cream in
summer. and in winter canned oysters
almost as large as lima beans are served
with large circular pickles fresh from the
brine-if one may use such seeming par
adox. You can also get steak here for Is
cents. l took ono of them. and when
got back to my room I repaired my trunk
with it.
We had some crackers, too. that had been
carefully looked over by other people till
they were all powdery and seemed to have
stood on the lunch counter al day for
DAVIS to peck ct, as Shakespeare says.
The room was rich in decoration, with
