SAD FATE OF TWO BOYS.
nm Empty building They
Perish.

New York, Feb. 14.-Plumbers work
combe avenue Tuesday found in
closet the decomposed bodies of two
boys. They We're identified by their
parents as Martin Loefer. aged nine,
and Charles Byrnes, aged IL. They
had been missing since August 3 last,
when they left their homes near by,
saying they were going to pick APP
pies. The building in which the bodies
We're found in fiat house and has
never been occupied. When it was
completed it was locked up and all
that remained to be done on it was the
plumbing. Tuesday afternoon two
plumbers entered the house and were
almost overcome with the strong odor.
1t was strongest on the second floor.
They opened a closet built into the
wall and there found the bodies of
the boys. The door has spring lock
and no knob inside, so that person
entering and closing the door would
be unable to get out again unless it
was opened from the outside
The body of Loefer was without
clothing; that of Byrnes was clothed
only in trousers. 1t was supposed the
boys were playing hide and seek and
went into the closet and closed the
door. The closet is so built that a
person shut in it could cry at the top
of his voice and he would be as remote
from aid as though he were buried
mile underground There was a
bruise on Byrnes' forehead, as though
in his frenzy he had dashed his head
against the door. The whole city was
searched for the boys last August,
their pictures published in the news
papers and the river dragged, and
their parents had given up all hope
of ever hearing from them.

out the land and had become already syno-
nym for sublime patriotism. He was the
richest man in America and had an adorable
wife, who idolized him.
1t might seem that the gratitude of free
people, the memory of the great works he
had done and the promise of an old age of
serenity, unbroken Of strife or storm, would
have been sufficient to guarantee him against
any evil and to assure to him the sum of all
human happiness.
But, if the good and great man bore with
him to his beautiful home on the Potomac
memories of battles fought and battles won
against self, against an alien foe and against
political adversaries, there remained, as
well, the recollection of calumnies that
would not die, of ingratitude sharper than
would not find reparation.
Grant, possibly, excepted, no president of
the United States was slandered as was the
Father of his Country. His enemies declared
him to be immoral, a gambler, durnkard;

which had been passed by congress at his

self as its king; failing in which, he then,
after his induction into Office, had usurpei
powers and prerogatives with n view to ult-

Washington was keenly sensitive and a
very proud man, and these calumnies were
as SO many vultures gnawing at the vitals
Of his heart. While silent to the world, he

WASHINGTON AT Mt. VERNON.

suffered from the wounds inflicted by his
slanderers
The great man was not averse to third
term as president. On the contrary, it was
expected by him and his friends that he
would continue indefinitely at the head of
the government. He was a man born to
rule; his administration was founded upon
justice and tempered with mercy. A man
OF his aristocratic opinions and tastes could
not fail to like power and authority. When
the time came, however, for a third cam
paigp the great mans soul sickened. His
spirit revolted against attacks from pam
phlets and gazettes and from the lead
ers OF the party in opposition to that which
followed his leadership. His soul was sick,
literally, of abuse, and he longed for the
asylum of Mount Vernon, where he felt he
should be secure against any attack, and his
heart would be at rest.
Against Mr.. jefferson Washington felt a
special bitterness. That gentleman had
been very acrimonious in his attacks upon
the president, and, finally, made it SO direct
~ personal that Washington, felt that his
honor demanded satisfaction for the af.
'front.'
IN those days dueling was universal, and
the clergy even regarded it without disfavor.
But Washington believed it would be un.
dignified, and therefore improper, for the
president of the United States to fight
duel. He waited, although his proud and
insulted spirit chafed, until his second term
Of office had expired. Soon after reaching
Mount Vernon he sent close personal
friend to Jefferson, with Instructions to de.
mand written retraction of charges with
an apology, or meeting with deadly intent.
Jefferson was very discreet person, as
are most wise men, and Washington's friend
returned with the retraction and the apol.
ogy. II Jefferson ever thereafter assailed
the character of Washington, no evidence
exists to show It.
