giant in the day of giants They were sons
of AnalS in their intellectual strength, those
colossi who formed the coteIie Known as
the revolutionary fathers. There were
many who aspired to be first, and these
were so 10th to yield to the force of his
superiority that they upbrlided HIN IN life
and they died with unforGivenesS in their
hearts. Jefferson and Henry, two OF the
illuminate of his own state, even, pursued
him unremittingly and brought no end OF
trouble to his great spirit The opposition
newspapers of his day were filed with the
most vile scandals upon his fair fame In
geniously worded pamphlets were scattered
broadcast over the whole country assailing
his private life and impugning his public
morals. But eternal justice has vindcated
his chaste reputation, and the literature
which was thus polluted with libels upon
truth has rotted like its authors.
The symmetry of Washington challenges
universal admiration. Careful study of the
life and work of the man do not show that
he was transcendently great in any single
particular; yet the marvellous harmonious
combination of forces in the man place him
far and away beyond any other of the unique
grand characters of history. Napoleon

When he first took his scat in the house an
interesting incident occurred, which is re-

The house of burgessa resolved to return
their thanks to him IN public manner for
the services he had rendered his country,
and this duty devolvel on his friend, Mr..
Robinson, the speaker of the house. As
soon as Col. Washington had taken his seat,
the speaker discharged the duty imposed
upon him with all the warmth of panegyric
which personal regard and full apprecia-
ton of his merits could dictate. This I'M
wonted and unexpected honor completely
robbed the young warrior Of his scf-posses-
