IN civil as in military life, says Lecky,
the historian, Washington was
L preeminent among his contempora-
ries for the clearness and soundness of
his judgment, for his perfect modera-
tion and self control, for the quiet dig
nifty and indomitable frmness with
which he pursued every path which he
had deliberately chosen.
OF all the great men in history he
was the most invariably judicious, and
there is scarcely rash word or action
or Judgment recorded Of him. Those
who knew him we'll, noticed that he
had keen sensibilities and strong pas
sions; but his power of self command
never failed him. and no act OF his
public life can be traced to personal
caprice, am bition. or resentment.
In the despondency of long continued
failure, in the eletion of sudden sue
cess. at times when his soldiers were
deserting by hundreds, and when
malignant plots were formed against

subordinates. in the dark hour of ma

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

the most universal and Intoxicating
flattery, he was always the same calm,
wise, just, and single minded man,
pursuing the course which he believed
to be right, without fear or favor or
fsnaticism, equally free from the pas.
sions that spring from interest, and
from the passions that spring from
imagination.
He never acted on the impulse of an
absorbing or uncalculsting enthusiasm
and he valued very highly fortune,
position, and putation; but at the
command of duty he was ready to risk
and sacrifice them all. He was in the
highest sense of the words gentle
man and a 4 man of honor, and he car
ried into public life the severest stand
ard of private morals.
It was at first the constant dread OF
large sections Of the American people
that if the old government were over
thrown, they would fall into the hands
of military adventurers, and undergo
the yoke of military despotism. It was
mainly the transparent integrity of the
character of Washington that dispell-
ed the fear.

County Sulphur Mines With the

County Surveyor Parker has recent
ly returned from the Ell Paso county
sulphur mines where he laid off road
from Choutesuville, where the i'm

a point near Guadalupe on the Pecos

It is the purpose of the sulphur COM

for a railway track or wagon road.
The sulphur works, which cost about
S15. 900, are now in full blast at the
mines. They employ twenty men and
reduce 100 tons of the sulphur rock
every two hours, which yields fifty
tons of pure sulphur.
Sulphur sells for about S25 per ton at

and the demand for sulphur is constant.
