Knocked Washington Down.

Washington was an eminently fair
man. He had a quick temper. but as
rule he kept it under control. Some
times, however, it got the best of him.
This was the case once in Alexandria
One OF the county officers told me the
story as we stood on the second floor
of the market house in Alexandria
and looked down at the open court
within At, which is now filed with
hundreds OF booths where the farm
ers Dring their products for sale on
market days. 1T was on that spot"
said the officer, Washington was
Knocked down by Lieut.. Payne. Payne
was a candidate for the legislature
against Fairfax OF Alexandria. Wash
ington supported Fairfax, and when
he met Payne here, he made a remark
that Payne considered an insult, and
Payne knocked him down. The story
went like lightning through the town
that Col. Washington was killed, and
some Of his troops who were stationed
at Alexandria rushed in and would
have made short work of Payne had
Washington not prevented them. He
pointed to his black eye and told them
that this was personal matter and
that he knew how to handle it. Every
one thought that this meant a duel.
The next day Payne got a note from
Washington asking him to come to
the hotel. He expected a duel, but
went. Washington, however, was in
an amiable mood. He felt that he had
been in the wrong, and said, Mr..
Payne, l was wrong yesterday, but if
you have had sufficient satisfaction,
let US be friends There was a de-
canter of wine and two glasses on the
table which Washington had ordered
to smooth over the quarrel. The two
drank together and became such
strong friends after that that Payne
was one of the pallbearers at Washing
tons funeral"

The Richest Man of Hrs Time.

AS the years went on Wash;ngton's
lands increased in value. and when he
died, he was one of the richest men of
his time. He owned lands and stock
and negroes, and his estates amounted
to thousands Of acres. He had houses
in Alexandria and property in Wash
ingtou. He had valuable lands near
the present site Of Pittsburg. He was
throughout his life a money-maker,
and / was told at Alexandria that
when he was boy he got IS day and
upward for his surveying. He put his
surplus money into lands, and an ad-
vertisement IN a Baltimore paper of
1873 states that he had 10000 acres Of
land for sale on the Ohio river. His
will, which is now kept about twenty
miles from Washington, in the safe of
the old court house at Fairfax, Va.
gives detailed statement of every ar
ticle he possessed down to the calves
and sheep. His personal estate was
then put down at $685., 900, and this in
cluded a vast amount of tobacco. large
numbers of cattle, sheep and horses,
nearly all Of which he willed to his
wife. This will is now kept in q
wooden box. the top Of which is cover
ed with glass.

he once journey thlther from VIZ
ginia to place his adopted son,
young Gusts, under the care OF
the professors. Gusts. however, did
not graduate from Kings college.
as Columbia was then called. He
had fallen in love with Nelly CAL
vert, daughter of Benedict Calvert, and
ended his studies abruptly to marry
the girl of his choice. The story
Of Washington's connection with the
college, which incidentally reveals
much about the father Of his country
as the father of a family and some
thing of college life during the last
century, is best told in his letters to
the Rev. DR.. Cooper, president of
Kings college, and to Mr.. Calvert.
The first letter, dated April 8. 1878, is
from Washington to Mr.. Calvert, and
reads as follows:
Il am now set down to write to you
on a subject of importance and of no
small embarrassment to me. My SON.
in-law and ward, Mr.. Custis, has, as I
have been informed, paid his addresses
to your second daughter, and having
made some progress in her affections.
has solicited her in marriage. How
far a union of this sort may be agree
able to you you best can tell; but I
should think myself wanting in can
dor were l not to confess that Miss
Nelly's amiable qualities are acknowl-
edged on all hands and that an alli-
ance with your family will be pleasing
to his"
But the couple was very young, and
the letter goes on to recommend a
5ostponement for two or three years.
in which time Mr.. GUSTS might pros
ecute his studies and render himself
more deserving of the lady and useful
to society,""
That Mr. Calvert acquiesced in this
view is probable. In letter of April
Is, to Lord Dunmore, governor of Vir-
ginia, Washington bids him farewell
In these words: THE design of my
journey to New York is to take my
son-in-law, Mr. GUSTS, to Kings COL
lege. If your lordship, therefore, has
any commands l shall think myself
honored in being the bearer of them"
BY the end Of the next month the
young man was duly entered as a stu
dent, and Washington departed from
New York. leaving letter to DR..

Although this is not the kind of let
ter that President Cooper's successor
Of today would be likely to receive, it,
nevertheless, shows the young man
entering college with good prospects Of
staying.
But barely six months later love got
the better Of learning, and Dr. Cooper
was addressed again in these terms:

erend Sir: The favorable account.

lege, gave me very great satisfaction.
l hoped to have felt an increase of it
by his continuance at that place un-
der gentleman so capable of instruct
ing him in every branch of useful
knowledge. But this hope is at an
end, and it has been against my
wishes that he should quit college in
order that he may soon enter into a
new scene of life for which he would
be much filter some years hence. But

OF his mother and the acquiescence of
almost all his relatives to encounter.

In respect to the first article OF

adopting such measures as will most

sum he ought, with propriety, to ex-

run into any kind of extravaganza you
will be so good, by your friendly adj
mention, as to check its progress.
