MOUNT vERNoN's GUARD.
Little Old Colored Man Hasn't Misset
a Day In Years.


Day in Years.
Edward Parker, the little old colored
man who occupies the sentry box at the
tomb of Washington at Mount Vernon,
lives in Washington, says the Washing
ton Star. That is, his family lives here,
and he comes over by special permit
of the organization which has control
of the old home of the first president
of the United States.
For years the tomb OF Washington
has been constantly before this old col
ored mans vision. He has never missed
a day from that dingy sentry box'since
Mount Vernon passed into the charge
OF the ladies, and before that, dating
from 1s41, he had lived on the place.
He was slave Of John Washington. and
is the last of the old servants now liv-
ing.
Every other Saturday Parker comes
over to Washington, always carrying
with him an old-fashioned carpet bag,
80 common in the days of reconstruc-
ton. The. following Monday morning
he may always be seen a half hour Mt
least before the first train starts for
Mount Vernon waiting around the cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue and Thir-
teenth street. He has never missed the
first train since the electric cars began
running to Mount Vernon. Before that
the first boat to Mount Vernon. on al
ternating Monday mornings, always
found him passenger.
Parker is, indeed character. He as.
sisted in burying the last person con-
signed to the vault in the Washington
tomb. After that the key to the vault
was thrown into the Potomac. This
was in the early SOS.

TIE QUEEN CLEANS HOUSE


OLD ADa1tA4Ats In koAD1A4t0A P01-
ace to D~ Put In order.
Queen VictoriA. has given orders that
the old state apartments In Remington
palace, which have long been disused,
shall be put in order and opened to the
public indefinitely, says the New York
Mail and Express. Nine rooms will be
renovated, among them the bedroom In
which her majesty was sleeping on the
memorable June morning nearly 81
years ago when the news came to her
that the archbishop Of Canterbury was
waiting in the council chamber to tell
her that abe was sovereign Of one Of
the great Kingdoms Of the world.
All these nine rooms are denuded OF
furniture and almost knee deep with
dust. The ballroom In the Denmark
wing, where the men and women Of the
aristocracy held high revel for two GEN.
turies, has been found . handy place
for tucking away things which were
not wanted elsewhere, and 1t looks like
a regular junk shop. Rusty barrel or
gans, broken-down tables, unseated
chairs and pictureless frames lie on the
floor in heaps, and over these hangs in
ragged strips, - though to cover the
desolation. the tapestry which former
~ decked the walls, striking illustra-
ton Of the "base uses" to which royal
palace may come.
Another Of the rooms to be restored
is Sir Christopher Wren's famous BAN
quoting hall. The chamber in which
the queen was born will not be opened
to the genral public, but admission may
be gained by q special order from the
lord chancellor. In this room, which
has been kept in order, brass plate has
been placed. inscribed: I'm this room

Ansslns lnstaass Of way In whsSA
Mussums Are lmposeA NDoo.
A very amusing instance Of the way
In which museums are imposed upon
has just come to light, says the -.
Jamea Gazette. At the French revolu.
ton, when the Cathedral of st. Denis
was 20 mutilated, the figures wbioh ar
uamented the beautiful Gothic aomb
of Dagobert was thrown down. and for
the most part destroyed. all that re-
NAMED being the body Of his Queen
Nantilde and the head Of his son Ciovts-
When the restorers stepped in sob
sequently they made the best they
could of the bits, putting the sons head
on the mothers body and caIlingit the
Refine Nantilde. Not long ago more In
telligent restorers put an end to this
absurdity, and there are now to beseen
at st. Denis two statues on which the
original proportions of each are pre-
served. But meanwhile casts Of the
hybrid were taken. and they still ez
list in the collection OF the Beaax ArtS
in Paris and in the National DxvzrjaH
museum at Munich as examples to stu
dents of all that Is best in Gothic art.
But this is not all. IN the great mu.
scum at Berlin, in the sculpture de
partment. there is a small statuette OF
stone, with various cracks and flaws
which give it an antique appearance.
which is nothing less than q smaller
and very imprudently made counterfei1
Of the hybrid. The forger felt the diff
fculty which might be raised to pIac-
ing a mans head above a woman's bust
and so has modified both to small ex-
tent; but there is not shadow OF doubs
that he has succeeded in palming on a
most unexpected imposition where he
could little expect to.

Dark-skinned races are always behind
the lighter bus peoples in fine civiliza-

FINDS IN Fill.

Elaboration Party Discovers New
Wonders on the Island.
A scientific exploration party In
charge of Prof. Agassiz recently paid a
visit to the Fiji islands, making some
discoveries of much general interest,
reports the Japan Gazette. At Maram-
bo they located an extinct volcano. open
on the north side. Dotted over the sur
face OF the water in the crater were
numerous mushroom-shaped rocks, and
the water itself in the light of burn
ing sun revealed to the visitors hitherto
unknown beauties of color. At Toloya
a crater of an extinct volcano was
found, into which the steamer could
enter and sail around. Here. as in other
places, the visitors were entertained
with "miki, miki." which seems to be
something in the nature OF corro-
bOree.
In the various lagoons visited dredg-
ing was resorted to for the purpose Of
securing specimens of coral and marine
.animalcule. On the rocks at the base
of the Solos lighthouse, near the North
Astrolabe reefs, at Kandava island, two
sea snakes were caught by Capt.
THOMPSON, who saw no less than ten
of them in as many minutes.
The capture of several live speci-
mems of bulolo. or coral worms, ap-
peared to have caused much gratifica-
ton to the searchers, who. aided by the
natives in canoes, discovered them in
thousands. The worm is said to dis
solve after being about two hours on the
surface. When the results of Prof.
Agassiz's Investigations are made pub
lie they will. doubtless, provide much
interesting and valuable information.
