WASHINGTON AS HUSBAND.

George Washington married Mrs.
Martha Gusts, widow of Daniel Parke
Custis, January 6, 1859 The wooing
was brief, but the married life long
and happy; for Washington, unlike
many of the worlds great men, made
a most devoted and affectionate hus-
band.
Mrs. Washington was rather below
medium height, but daintily form
ed, with a pleasing face and hazel eyes
She had a graceful dignity of manner
that enabled her to fill creditably her
exalted position as First Lady in the
Land; but she was not an intellectual
woman One who knew her well de-
scribed her as mot possessing much
sense, though perfect lady and re
markably well calculated for her po-
sition." Her eccentricities of spelling
were enough to raise the ghosts OF
every dead photographer in hades.

VALET BETTER THAN MAID.

New York, Feb. 15.-Most women
highest sum of human good when
they had taken unto themselves a
maid But Miss L. B. Freeman, a
young American woman, now staying
at the Cambridge hotel in this city,
will have none of her. Instead she
has brought to this country with her
a man servant, whom she calls a cour-
ier-valet, and who is part of her es-
tablishmenet in Paris, where she
makes her home. The young fellow
is sturdy German boy, and is learn
ing to speak English, and a being who
can do more things than a juggler,
and has more of the virtues of service
than any article in the advertising
placards of the elevated train.
How did I come to have a man
Instead of the time-honored maid ?"
said Miss Freeman. ''That is easy
enough told-he is a better servant
men make better servants in the du-
ties that this one has to meet than the
best maids that ever were born Why?
Well they-or rather, he-can buy my
tickets, run my errands, announce my
carriage at receptions, and see me to
and from the theater at night. No
maid could do all this
Miss Freeman said she preferred to
do up her own hair, so didn't miss a
maid on that account
''That boy can do anything ever
heard off, she continued "black my
boots, and button them, if necessary.
He runs thirty errands day some
times. Does wonders for me, and he
begged me to bring him along to see
America. In Warsaw, Poland, in
France, and in England they have val
cts, and it is such a common thing
that no one pays any attention to it,
and no one ever comments on it."

noise out, | thought thaire was per-
son sent for me. I often imagined
he was sick or some accident had
happened to him so that think it is
impossible for me to leave him as long
as Mr.. Washington must stay when he
comes down"
Such spelling ought to bring the
blush to the cheeks OF a ten-year old
girl.
Yet Washington was, apparently,
Well satsneu; Tor, even after SO long
d period as SIX months nau paoaeu
since MS Wedding day, ne reused 10

world, lie wrote to her: Il should ell
Joy more real happiness IN one month

distant prospect OIL tlndlng abroad II

years"
Ills deYotedness is best shown III the

sumed the enUlre management OF ner
own large property, but also that OF
her children, and gave to them the al

ing for her own clothing; and such Or
ders as the following may be seen IN
Lis own handwriting. "A salmon

and Ruffies, to be made OF BRUSHES

Again he writes to his London agent:
Mrs. Washington sends home a green
sack to get cleaned, or fresh dyed OF
the same color, made up into hand
some sack again would be her choice,
but if the cloth won't afford that,
then to be thrown into genteeI
Night Gown"
There can be no question but what
Washington had a happy home life,
and made a loving and faithful hus-
band. Washington The Husband, the
Eomemaker, as well as Washington
the soldier, the statesman, the pat
riot, should be held up as a pattern
for all youth to cut their coming
lives by.

commander in chief" of the colonial
forces. He was just the age of julius
Caesar when he took command of the
army in Gaul, of Napoleon when he
made the mistake of his life and start
ed in to conquer Russia, and he was
ten years older than Alexander was
when he wept because there were no
more worlds to conquer. Chariemagne
was just his age when he overcame
Wittikind, the Saxon chief, and made
all Germany Christian, and the cap
tain general of the continentals'' was
just as cid as was Constantine when
he determined to make himself master
of the world. He was as old as
Sesostris, the pharaoh, when he con-
quered the Hittites and prosecuted the
children of Israel; as Hannibal when
he gave UP the hope of conquering
Rome and left Italy to defend Carthage
against Scipio.

RUSH OF EXPORT GRAIN

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 15.-tifteen
steamships are now in port loading or
waiting their turn to load the grain
that is coming to the city in great
quantities. Their aggregate carrying
capacity amounts to over 10000
bushels, and all the grain elevators at
Port Richmond, Washington avenue,
and Girard Point are kept busy IN
meeting this heavy rush. During the
past week thirteen other vessels, not
including regular liners, were char
tered to load grain here and the pros
poets for large shipments of corn,
wheat and oats were never brighter.
A number of the vessels recently or
dered here came from Hampton Roads,
their charters having been effected
while they were at sea.

and but seven months widow; yet, in
spite OF this fact, his heart did yearn
for her so desperately and he wooed
her so ardently that in little over one
month she was his promised wife
Certainly nothing cold or slow or
formal about WASHINGTON, The
Lover
This knowledge of the silly foolish
ness of Washington when boy, and
his passionate wooing when a man
gives a needed warmth and color to
the cold, awe-inspiring figure usually
present in the mind when the great pa
triOt is thought of.

the real reason for sending the United

that the Spanish authorities have been
