While hundreds of pilgrims daily crowd
the shrine of Mount Vernon, one of the
most interesting relics of Washington re-
mains unknown and unnoticed, and is
rapidly falling. into decay. This is a
small cabin which was used by Wash
surveying the lands of upper Virginia.
The house is located i'll Clarke county,
the district being formed III 1880 from
Frederick. and NAMED for the illustrious
Gen.s George Clarke Of early days, says
says i correspondent of the New Haven
Morning Journal.
Near Berryyil!e, in Clarke county,

called Soldiers Rest About 200
yards from the site of this manor is To-
Gated the cabin, which is regarded with
almost religious yeneration by the peo-
pie Of the neighborhood, and which is be-
ing slowly eaten by the tooth. of time.
The house is twelve feet square, and
there are but two rooms, one on the
ground floor and one for garnet. Be-
meath the building flows, or rather did
flow during the last century, a small
stream, which was used for cooling pur-
poses. The upper chamber is lathed and
plastered; only one window lights it,
While a rough door gives access to the
visitor, who must mount by a ladder.
Here it was that Washington was accus-
toned to KEEP his instruments when on a

When Grease was Used in Boilers.
In an article OH Boiler Insurance and
Inspection" in Casters Magazine, the
important topic is carefully treated by
w. A. Garlic. Perhaps it is only the
one man in the hundred who, using
steam power, knows anything about the
precautions necessary to insure safety:
Whenever grease gets into boiler the
evil effects are common to every type.
In the old days, grease used to. be pur-
posely introduced in order to prevent
scale, and most of us have heard Of the
man who was sent to clean boiler. and
who made himself SO comfortable that
he fell asleep inside. He was forgotten,
and the boiler closed up and set to work.
After: the, usual lapse of time, bciler
cleaning day again came round, and to
the establishment of everyone the boiler
was found to be free. from scale. The
mystery was, however. explained when
the bones of the missing man were found
at the bottom. 1t is, however, more
than doubtful if any other kind of ami
NAL or vegetable fat would have pro
duced such surprising results, and boiler
scalers are not available every day for

A FLORAL TALE Of LOVE.
For the Yorkville Enquirer.

For the Yorkville Enquirer.
The Westbrook Chautauqua circle is
wide awake and progressive, and besides
the regular weekly exercises which prove
so improving and instructive, occasionally
includes an additional feature in its pro-
gramme for the purpose of entertainment
and by way of variety. At the last regu-
lar meeting, held at the residence of Mr..
s. NJ. McNeel, the extra part of the pro-
gramme was denominated "a Floral Tale
of Love-" which consisted of "a questions
arranged and propounded in such man
ner, in regards to some imaginary court
ship and consequent denouement, that the
answer to each would be the name OF
some flower.
The first prize, which was an artistically
arranged and very beautiful waiter Of
flowers, was awarded to Miss Mary Hart,
who was fortunate enough to answer l5 of
the "a questions. Rev. r. A. Lee and
Rev. w. A. Pitts, being somewhat unac-
castomed to "a tale of love-" floral or
otherwise, succeeded in answering only
four each of the questions, and, conse-
quently tied for the BOBBY prize, which
was a small package of flower seeds.
This was finally awarded to Rev. w. A.
Pitts, which, considering all things, was
eminently proper since it is well known
fact that where flowers are sheltered and
protected by pits" they thrive much
better and reach higher state of perfec-
ton than those of the ''lea." M. W.

BETHANY SCHOOL.

The Children Show What Can BE Done With
the Help of the Right Kind OF a Teacher.
Correspondence Of the Yorkville Enquirer.
BETHANY, March 10.-It was again my
privilege to attend the closing exercises OF
the school at Bethany, taught by S. c.
Ratteree. Prof. Ratteree has been the
teacher ofthis place, more than 10 months,
and has infused great deal of life and en-
thusiasm into the minds of the children
who have attended his school.
The exercises consisted in reading,
writing, spelling, English grammar, U.
s. history, geography and arithmetic. In
English grammar, United States history
and geography, the examination was
written. Test questions were written on
the blackboard by the teacher, and an
swered by the pupils in writing. These
papers were handed to committee for
examination. The maximum was 100.
Out of II examined in geography took
100; 5, 9S. In U. S. history, five were ex-
amined: two took 100; 3, 95. A class
of eight small children were examined in
mental and written arithmetic. All took
100. The grammar class also answered
well.
A table was set in the grove, and our
returning wants were satisfied with the
good things of this world. In conclusion
we wish Prof. Ratteree happy and use
full life. J. H. DOUGLAS.

must close; but through the efforts OF
Superintendent Gillon, and the gener-

spirited citizens, the school is still in
session, and will continue in successful
operation until the first of June. Under
the management of Superintendent Gill
lon, with the efficient aid Of such excellent
teachers rs Mr.. Allison, Miss Small and
Miss May, we all have reason to be proud
of our graded school, and we realize that
it is doing splendid work, which will
make ITSELF known and felt in the
intellectual and moral development OF
our boys and girls into splendid man
hood and womanhood.
The annual election for intendant and
wardens of our town will take place on

amount of interest is being manifested in
it, and several of our citizens are in the
field and ready for the sacrifice.

prepared to bolt if need be, and ally
ourselves with the Free Silver men of the
West. It would be a fatal blunder not to
send delegates to the national Democratic
convention, and would only be placing it
in the hands of our gold bug enemies.
If the national Democratic convention
does not adopt platform to suit us and
put man on it above suspicion as to his
loyalty, we can then leave the party; but
not before.
The effort of all true friends of silver
and financial reform should be directed
to having the State Democratic convention
composed solidly of men of their way of
thinking so as to have it act as unit.
