CURRENT MISCELLANY.

There was one man there that day
who had made no speeches and drawn
no resolutions, but who nevertheless
was better known than any of them,
and who alone among them all had
soldiers fame won OH hard fought
fields. There was not much need to
point him out, for he was the typo of
man that commands attention and does
not need Identification. Very tall and
large, admirably proportioned, with ev-
cry sign of great physical strength; q
fine head and face of power, with o
strong jaw and mouth accurately
closed; calm and silent, with a dignity
which impressed every one who ever en-
tered his presence, there was no need to
tell the onlookers that here was Colonel
Washington. What he had done they
knew. What he was yet to do no one
dreamed, but such was the impression
he made on all who came near him
that we may easily believe that the
people who gazed ut him in the streets
felt dumbly what Patrick Henry said
for those who met him i'll the congress,
Washington is unquestionably the
greatest of them all. Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge in Scribners.
