that the Northwest river, which flows

Cnrrituck sound, will afford Norfolk
an inexhaustible supply of good,

The VIRGISIAS is informed that this
river is not alluded to in McAlpine's
report. This appears very strange.
The VIRGINIAN has secured an
analysis of sample OF the water

After the death of Washington in
1893, followed two years later by the
death of his widow, the estate began
to so down. Washington had already
given 2000 acres to his adopted daugh-
ter, Nellie Custis, upon which she and
her husband, Lawrence Lewis, after
ward built the beautiful Woodlawn
mansion, located three miles below the
mansion at Mount Vernon. BY his
will Washington left other large por-
tions of his estate to other relatives,

share of Bushrod Washington, his
nephew, who afterward became an As
sociated Justice of the Supreme Court.

tine Washington, who, in July, 1859,
sold the mansion and grounds to
gether with 200 acres of land for the
rather munifcent sum of 5000, 900. Il
was pretty hard bargain that Colone.
Washington drove, but he got away
with it, At the time the sale was
made the mansion and outbuildings
were sadly run down. There was evil
dence of neglect on every side. The
broad acreage had diminished and
passed into other hands. The remain
der was largely given over to weeds
and underbrush. The soil was worn
out and no effort made to reclaim il.
Verify, the glory of Mount Vernon
had departed. About 1854 several
colonies of thrifty farmers from New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York and
the New England States were formed to
buy and reclaim these wornout lands.
They bought tracts of from forty to
three. hundred acres to each family
and ~ very much the same methods
that Washington used they have re-
habilitated the land so that now, out
of the original acreage of Mount Yer

The moral is obvious; familiarity
has bred contempt, and in the use of
these dangerous little conveniences we
have become extremely careless. 1t is
time to turn over a new leaf. Keep
matches in but few places in the
house or the Office. Let those few be
fireproof receptacles, in which the
matches could burn to ashes without
endangering anything. Remember
that combustion cannot go on without
supply of air, and for that reason,
as well as to prevent accidental scat

be kept covered. Good Housekeep-

the oath of Office as President. This
highway, too, used to resound the
hoof-beats of his thoroughbreds when
he made his tri-weekly visits to Alex
andria to attend church OF look after
his business affairs. In later years
tae old road resounded the tramp of
other hoofs, for it was over this thor
oughfare that the panic-stricken sol
diery fled from Bull Run in 1861, and
rushed pellmell, horse, foot, dragons
and unmounted across Long Bridge
INTO Washington. The last great
spectacle the old turnpike ever saw
was the march of Shermans army,
which followed it on the march from
the South to Washington for the re-
view in 1865. Since that day the old
turnpike has borne nothing more ex-
citing or sensational than the farm
wagons and hayricks of old Virginia.
To the right, as the "trolley"
crosses the bridge over Great Hunting
Creek, is Fort Lyons, the strongest OF

Washington in the war days. Near
Fort Lyons is the old home, still stand
