A HURRY ORDER.

At the Treadwell Foundry last Mon day afternoon Mir. Thom, Mark Smith and Patternmaker c. w. Johnson were seen digging into their work like beav- CTS. A question or two brought forth the information that the Treadwell had a broken cylinder head, and they want. ed a new one right away MT. Thom was artistically punching holes in a big lid of earth that was to constitute the top of a mould. Mark Smith was digging ditches in another box of dirt with spoon and some other little tools. MT. Johnson came forward with a core-model, and then all hands grab bed hold of the handles on the boxes. Over it came-carefuIly, steadily, and the thing was done.
 The work in the foundry presents many mysteries to the uninitiated, and the moulders were too busy to answer questions, or,we should have asked the names of the tools we saw used.

new; and of all the myriads engaged in the vast
contest to leave the prize of the greatest fame
with him who struck the first blow"
The author works out the details of
Washington's career in the course of
the story and leaves it to two of his
characters, George Warrington, an
able, high minded Tory, and his broth
er Harry, a patriot close to Wash
ington, to bear him out in the tribute
which stands at the portal of the
structure. Speaking of Washington
when at the zenith, Warrington the
Tory says:
"What a constancy, what magnanimity, what
a surprising persistency against fortune! Wash
ington before the enemy better or drawer
than hundreds that fought with him or against
him (who has not heard the sneers against 'Fabi-
us in which his factious captains were accus-
toned to indulge, but Washington, the chief of
a nation in arms, doing battle with distracted
parties calm in the midst of conspiracy, serene
against the open foe before him and the darker
enemies at his back; Washington inspiring order
and spirit into troops hungry and in rags; stung
by ingrattude, but betraying no anger and ever
ready to forgive; in defeat invincible, magnani-
nous in conquest and never so sublime as when
noble retirement-here indeed is character to
admire and revere, life without a stain, fame
without flaw. Quando invenies parem? (Where
will the equal be foundO In that more extern
sive work which have planned and partly writ

have done justice to the character Of its greatest
leader. And this from the sheer force of respect
which his eminent virtues extorted. With the
young Mr.. Washington of my own days had not
the honor to enjoy much sympathy, though my
brother, whose character is much more frank and
afectionate than mine, was always his fast friend
in early times when they equals as in the
latter days when the general, as do own and
think, was all mankinds superior.
Ellis great and surprising triumphs" con-
tinues George Warringtons eulogy, were not in
those rare engagements with the enemy where he
obtained a trhng mastery, but over congress,
over hunger and disease, over lukewarm friends or
smiling foes in his own camps whom his spirit
had to meet and master. When the struggle was
over and our impotent chiefs who had conducted

their own defense before the nation, what charges
and countercharges were brought, what pretexts
of delay urged, what piteous excuses
put forward that this feet arrived too late, that
regiment mistook its orders, that these cannon
balls would not fit those guns and to the end
of the chapter Here was general who beat US
with no shot at all at times and no powder and
no money, and he never thought OF a convention.
His courage never capitulated Through all the
doubt and darkness, the danger and long tempest
of war, think it only the American lead.

on every occasion. When he was pres

the dancing assemblies" in New York
and Philadelphia, and when at Mount

Alexandria to attend dances. He still
danced in 1876, when CT years old, but
when, in 1899, he was invited to the
Alexandria assembly he wrote the man.

lily counsel was
held to decide his future. With his mil
itary bent the royal navy seemed to be
the only course open. But his mother
would not hear of it. She had been
struck with terror at the tidings of the
death of Thomas Fairfax, who fell
during an engagement with NJ. Bour-
donaye, commander of a French squad
ron on the indian coast. The naval
scheme was abandoned. Shortly after
this the sixth Lord Fairfax came from
England. He, too, was devoted to
hunting and fishing. George and he
often met on day long excursions and
soon became very close friends. 1t
was by the aid of loans from Lord
Fairfax that George Washington was
able to continue his studies and pre-
pare himself for civil engineering.
When Washington was but a poor
and unimportant surveyor, by no means
handsome or distinguished looking, he
found his way into the brilliant family
circle Of Colonel Wilson Carey, a gen
tleman of great wealth, who lived upon
the lower James, and fell prey to the
charms of Miss Sally, one of the daugh-
tiers, then belle. Sally Carey, after
ward Mrs. George William Fairfax,
was the leading beauty and toast of
her day. 1t is related of her that, pass

she was challenged by an imperious
sentry. Confused and surprised, she
gave her own name. PASS" said the
sentry instantly, and Miss Carey hur-
ried on, unconsciously profiting by the
gallantry of the officer who had chosen
the password of the night. And this
beauty refused the proposal of mar
rage made to her by George Washing
ton.
In the year 1854 Washington, then in
command of the Virginia rangers at
Alexandria, supported Mr.. Fairfax in
an election contest for the house of
burgesses against William Payne, aft

THACKERAY'S TRIBUTE.

Cynical English Novelist.

To a wide circle of readers it must
be a matter for surprise that Thack-
cray. the confirmed and ruthless cynic
whose caustic pen was turned against
friend as well as foe, and held up to
ridicule British as we'll as alien idols,
had the grace and fine discrimination
to eulogize Washington in the noblest
language which a lofty and admiring
mind could we'll conceive. The para
graphs here quoted are from Thack-
eray's famous novel "The Virginians."
The first tribute is the authors di-
rect utterance and is brought out in
the course of a historical narrative
which introduces the Revolutionary
period.

dispersed them. No one knew what
the result of such an encounter would
be. The next day Washington sent for
Payne and said with gentle courtesy.
at the same time taking his hand with
a hearty grasp: "Mr. Payne, to err is
human. l was in the wrong yesterday,
but if you have had sufficient satisfac-
ton let us be friends" To the day Of
his death Payne retained for Washing
ton a devotion and unbroken regard.
A marked trait about Washington's
character was his fastidiousness In the
choice of his clothes. There can be
little question that he was early In life
a good deal of dandy and that his lik-
ing for fine feathers never quite left
him. Year after year he planned every
little detail for his tailor's directions,
designating the kind and quality of
cloth, the number of buttons and their
respective positions, the quantity of
gold or silver lace, etc. And yet in 1888
he wrote his nephew, "Do not conceive
that fine clothes make fine men more
than fine feathers make fine birds"

life. His distinct weaknesses were for
afternoon teas and dancing. Numer-
