A New biography OF Washington.

Following is a copy of an essay on
George Washington, written by a girl
in n secondary class of one public schools
of Philadelphia. 1t was meant as a se-
rious effort:
Il will tell you the story in History of
George Washington. George Washing
ton was born Feb. IL, 1926.
"He was educated at West Point. and
after graduating served in the Mexican
War.
"When the French and India War
broke out he was made captain, and
GNIeral and Major and performed many
imported services.
an 1859 He refined and married Mrs.
Marthy Acusta, and went to live on his
estate at Mt. Vernon. In the Virginia
Legislature, of which he was q mem.
Der, he took the part against the OPP
preston of England. In 1S43 he was
Elected President of Congress and took
m active part in Public affairs. He
fought many battles and finally cap
tured General Lee and his whole army,
April 9th, 1865. He finally surrendered
at Yorktown. under Lord CORVALLIS,
and the war ended 1850. Thus he owes
the liberty to us, and he is called the
father of this country. The constitu-
ton having been adapted, George Wash
ington was made president of the United
States. He served two terms, but re-
fused to serve q third term, having
taken q severe cold from q ride in tho
rain. He died at MI Vernon, aged 81
years"

Aztec Mines Rediscovered.

Brooklyn Eagle: The discovery Of
William Niven of this city of impor-
tant evidences of the past civilization
OF the Aztecs and related tribes has
been verified on the arrival of the ex-
plorer in the capital of Mexico. He
found n number of prehistoric ruins
n a sealed ossuary'containing skele-
n He has incidentally found new
silver mines and promising placers,
the latter perhaps a redisoovery of
diggings from which the Aztecs drew
their wealth. It needs that only half
which is on record of the Aztecs in
Montezuma's time be true to indicate
that gold was the commonest of their
metals. They did not hold it in the
value that Europeans gave IT, and this
fact enabled Cortez and his followers
to rob these people in a royal fashion.
Shields, helmets, cups, bracelets and
nuggets were delivered in exchange
Tor promises nd friendships that were
as empty as the promises OF Spain have
ever been. After enriching Cortez the
natives found themselves at his mercy,
their emperor a captive, their temples
,despoiled, strange images set up in
public places before which they were
compelled to bow and worship, and in
the end the Spaniard possessed the
land.
In Peru and adjacent states similar
dramas were enacted, and the white
man gained his power by the copious
shedding of blood. 1t is not improb-
able hat when the greed of the in
vaders for the yellow metal was dis
covered the Aztecs and other native
tribes desisted from the mining of it.,
hoping by representations that the
supply was exhausted Ia keep the
troops, with their swords and thun-
dering cannon, from any further adj
vance into their country. 1t does not
take long in a tropical country for
eroded banks to clothe themselves
afresh in vegetation, hence in Il few
years the tokens of placer mining
would have disappeared, and after the
people had been driven to. other parts
of the country or had been occupied in
the general defense, these beds Of gold
bearing gravel would be forgotten.
Their discovery, if such it is, may
prove to be important-not so much
SO as the Klondikc, probably, for much
has already been taken from them, yet
not insignificant, since modern meth
DDS insure a larger return for labor
than the old way, which was nothing
but the picking of nuggets from the
stream beds. American capital will
probably develop these mines and we
may have n need of gold in the next
few years.

st. Nicholas: No salute exceeds twenty
one guns, and no salute Is ever fired eX-
cept between sunrise and sunset, when the
national colors must be displayed; but II
is also usual not to fire salutes before 10
a. m. Whenever the president is en-
barked in a ship Of war flying his flag, all
other United States ships of war and
naval stations near which he passes, will
fire the national salute.
S%ideboys are detailed usually from the
apprentice boys. They stand each side of
the gangway, in line, and salute by touch
ing their caps as visiting officials come on
board or leave. Commissioned officers
board and leave a ship by the starboard
gangway. Warrant officers, naval cadets
and enlisted men use the port gangway.
After nightfall all boats coming close
to the ship are hailed by the marine sentry
or by the quartermaser with the words,
Boat ahoy!' A flag officer answers,
Flag a commanding officer the
name of his ship; other commissioned OFF,
GERS answer, "Aye, aye;'' warrant officers
and naval cadets answer, "No, no." while
enlisted men answer, "Hello!'
Every officer and man on reaching the
upper deck salutes the national flag, and
this salute is returned by the officer of
the watch at hand.
Flag officers are addressed by their titles
of admiral or commodore; captains and
commanding officers are called Captain"
all other officers are called Mr." and not
by their official titles, though i'm address
ing them in writing these titles are al
ways used. The surgeons, however, are
usually called Doctor" and paymasters
of any grade "~Paymaster."
Boat salutes are given by tossing oars,
which means holding them upright in the
AIR with the blades fore and aft; or by
lying on oars, by which is meant holding
the oars horizontal as they rest i'm the
Irowlocks. CoXswains Of boats stand and
salute when passing boats containing Of
Ulcers. All officers and men, whether in
uniform or not, meeting a senior afloat or
ashore, salute by touching the cap.
When n ship of the naVy enters a port OF
any nation where there is q fort or bat
terry, or where q ship Of war Of any nation
may be lying, she shall fire a salute Of
twenty-one guns provided the captain is
satisfied the salute will be returned. The
flag Of the nation saluted will be displayed
at the main during the salute.
National airs of foreign states having
war vessels in company with our own will
be played by our bands as a compliment.
