washington's Farewell.

1t was on December 4, 1873, that
Washington's officers assembled in
Fraunce's Tavern, New York, to bid
him farewell. As he looked about on
his faithful friends his usual self-com-
mand deserted him and he could not
control his voice. Taking a glass, he
lifted it up and said simply: "With q
heart full of love and gratitude 1 now
take my leave of you, most devoutly
wishing that your latter days may be
as prosperous and happy as your for
mer ones have been glorious and hon
orable."

Aud when the night grew dark without
What mighty themes they talked abou
In those historic daysi
Or how their souls with rapture soaret
When Nelly at her harpslchord
Sang gay and gallant laysl
Oh, brave and bold were women then,
And pure rs women were the men-
For that was long ago;
The old then felt the zest OF youth,
The young were sober, and In truth
II ever should be go.
On fair Potomac's sloplng shore
Mount Vernon, as in days OF yore,
Is still n lovely place;
But they are gone that gave that scene
Its air domestic and serene,
Its joyous life and grace.

ington's body was buried, and in
which it rested for more than thirty
years, though the objective point of
the procession will be the new tomb,
where the coffin now is.
In his will Washington stated that
"the family vault at Mount Vernon re-
quiring repairs, and being improperly
situated, desire that a new one, OF
brick, and upon larger scale, may be
built at the foot of what is called the
Vineyard Inclosure, ON the ground

Wednesday, Dec. 18, 1893.
"About IL o'clock numbers of peo-
pie began to assemble to attend the
funeral, which was intended to have
been at 12, but as great part of the
troops expected could not get down in
time, it did not take place till 3.
ELEVEN pieces of artillery were
brought from Alexandria, and schoon-
or belonging to Mr.. II. Hamilton came
down and lay Off Mount Vernon to fire
minute guns.
"About 3 o'clock the procession be-
gan to move. The arrangements of
the procession we're made by Colonels
Little, Simms, Deneale and DR.. Dick.
The pail ll-bearers were Colonels Little,
Simms, Payne, Gilpin, Ramsay and
Manteler. Colonel Blackburn preced-
ed the corpse. Colonel Deneale
marched with the military. The pro-
cession moved out of the gate at the
left wing of the house and proceeded
to sound in front of the lawn and down
to the vault on the right wing OF the
house. The procession was as follows:
The Troops, Horse and Foot.
Music Playing a Solemn Dirge.
The Clergy. VIZ: The Rev.
Mr.. Davis,
Mr.. Muir,
Mr.. Molfat
and Mr.. Addison.
The Generals horse, with his saddle, hol-
,ster, pistols, etc, led by his two grooms,

Principal mourners, viz: Mrs. Stuart and
Mrs. Lear, Misses Nancy and Sallie Stuart.
Miss Fairfax and Miss Denison, Mr.. Law
and Mr.. Peter, Mr.. Lear and DR.. Craik,
Lord Fairfax and Ferdo Fairfax, Lodge
No. 23, Corporation OF Alexan ndria. All
other persons preceded by Mr.. Anderson
and the overseers.
"When the body arrived at the
vault the Rev. Mr.. Davis read the
service and pronounced short ex-
tempore speech.
"The Masons performed their cere-
monies, and the body was deposited in
the vault"
Interesting as is this account of the
funeral, Colonel Lear's story OF the
last illness of his chief and the medi-
cal treatment he received is still more
absorbing to us of the present day, as
it shows, by contrast with modern
methods, that, had the General lived
100 years later, his life might have
been saved, scarcely beyond doubt.
The cause Of his death was stated to
be "oedematous affection of the wind
pipe" or, in layman's phrase, watery
swelling of the windpipe. The trouble
at first was ordinary quinsy sore
throat, which by the second day had
developed into membranous Group,
which. however. is rarely fatal, except
to children.
Those were the days Of cupping and
bleeding, and Washington not only
placed himself in the hands OF his
doctors. but insisted. rather against

washington's Influence.

As tree is known by its fruits, so
may political policy be known from
the character of its supporters.
Shortly after the Federal Constitu-
ton had been adopted at Philadel-
phia, Francis Lightfoot 7 %" signer
OF the Declaration Of ndep Ndence,
was at the courthouse OF Westm Gland
County, Virginia, and SCH cone Isked
his opinion Of it.
'I DO not" replied Mr.. ! ''p g.
tend to be Judge of an or srIc lsw
of such importance, but one .~.S in-
clines me to support it. General
Washington is in favor OF it, and John
Warden is against it,"
Warden was Scotch lawyer Of the
county, who had been speaking in
public against the ratification Of the
new constitution.
Mr.. Lees willing submission to
Washington's judgment was initiated
all through the country. Trust in
Washington brought about the adop-
ton of the new Constitution by Yir-
ginia; and without the ratification by
that State, then the largest in the
Union, the Constitution would never
have gone into effect.
"Be assured Washington's influence
carried this Government, wrote Mon
roe to Jefferson, after the Yirginia
convention had voted for the Consti'
tuition. "The country was an instru-
ment with thirteen strings, and the
only master who could bring out all
their harmonious thought was Wash
in oton."

had the genius for getting all that
was best out of the men under him,
but the work OF organizing and dis
cipling the army at Cambridge was
the least of the troubles which con-
fronted him when he faced the situa-
tion at Boston. Moreover, he knew
all the difficulties, for he not only saw
them, but he was never under delu-
sions as to either pleasant or Disagree
able facts. One of his greatest quail
ties was his absolute veracity of mind;
he always looked a fact of any sort
squarely in the face. and this is what
he saw when he turned to the task
before him. From "rhe Story of the

Cnn.nin Carter. case

The Attorney General is quoted 10 the
effect that as the testimony in the trial
of Captain Carter by court-martial COW
cred fifteen thousand typewriter pages,
the President was compelled to turn it
over to him for an abstract and review.
This is given as the chief cause of delay.
Then former Senator Edmunds was employ
ed in the interest of Captain Carter to ex-
anime the evidence in the hope of finding
grounds for Executive lenlency; and coun-
sci for Carter has sent brief TO the
Attorney General. copy of which has
been forwarded 10 the Judge advocate
who prosecuted the case, with a request
that he file reply. II is probable that
counsel for Captain Carter and the Irose-
cutting officer viii be called upon to argue
the matter orally before Attorney General
Griggs.
The public can understand why the
President, before approving the verdict of
the military court, should desire an alb
stract of the testimony. but II is rot as
clear that he should find it necessary TO
have virtually a new trial with the Attor-
ney General as the court While the tes-
timony is voluminous, the essential mat
ters at issue are few and not difficult of
comprehension. There has been no sug-
gestion OF a lack OF intelligence and i'm
partially on the part of the court. and the
simple question whether the evidence is
of a character TO justify the verdict should
be easily answered by the law officer of
the Government. 1t will not be denied
that the proceedings, since the case came
10 Washington, are very unusual IL rot
unprecedented. 1t will hardly be affirmed
that the rank and record of Captain Carter
make his case so exceptional that extra
ordinary methods should be pursued. Il
is not the rule 10 employ a special lawyer
to review the testimony in behalf of the
accused and to attempt to have the Gov
ernment pay the bill; or to authorize
counsel for the defence to submit brief
10 which the prosecuting officer is re-
quested TO reply; or TO have the case
argued before the representative of the
President. II suggests distrust OF the
intelligence or fairness OF the officers COM
posing the court martial.
All this seems TO give support TO the
charge that political and social influence

to plan the massacre Of women and chill
dren, and they mutilate the dead of their
enemies. From the most trustworthy
sources of information it is learned that
the inevitable result of their independence
would be rivalry of tribes, anarchy. and
massacre, and inevitably the seizure of the
islands by the European powers. American
independence was in the interest of civili-
cation; Filipino independence would pro-
mote barbarism. Civilization demands the
reign of law and justice, and the exercise
of force until men are disposed 10 submit
to law.
1t is almost incredible that there should
be Americans who can distinguish no diff
ference between the cause of American in
dependence and that of Philippine indie
pendence, and that they should be SO mis-
guided and perverse as to be led into such
shocking treason as public prayer for
the slaughter of the heroic men who are
struggling to reserve to an enlightened
system of government the fair islands SO
long condemned to ignorance, poverty, and
misrule by benighted Spain.
