General Wash. ington was 67 years and 10 months old at the time ofhis decease. The coun- try was at peace and France and Eng land expressed respectful sorrow at bis death. Only nineteen of the sIgners of the Declaration of Independence were still alive. Gates, Morgan and Stark were the only ones of his generals alive. Patrick Henry was dead and new peo- pie were coming on the stage of Ameri- can public life Washington's funeral was held on December IS, and burial in the family vault at Mt. Vernon, Va.

On November 19 the metropolitan papers published General Sir Redvers Buffers plans for the campaign in South Africa. It was impolite of Gen. eral Butler not to consult the Boers about that plan, but it how appears that the Bosrs have returned the compli- ment by changing General Buffers plans without consulting him, therefore honors are easy. To be specific it may be stated that the British plan has been spoiled by the crushing defeat of Gen. eral Gatacre's troops in the battle of Stormbere. Thus far the Boer war has emphasized the prophecy of Napoleon that South Africa will be the grave of the British empire.
