wAsHINGToN's GREATNESS.

Forty or fifty years ago Thomas
Hope of Hartford county, was a gem
tleman most highly respected and we'll
known in the county, and, indeed
throughout the state generally. Mr..
Hope himself was by the way, one OF
those remarkable men of whom the
state may well be proud. His whole
appearance was such as to command
respect from all who met him. He
was tall, very erect, and at the time
met him-when about 80 years OF
agile exhibited the springhtliness
and vigor that we see sometimes ex-
hibited (yet rarely by very strong,
healthy men of 60 or 65 years of age.
l was Mr.. Hopes guest, and as had
two or three appointments to preach
(perhaps at Bethel, Chestnut Grove
and Aberdeen), Mr.. Hope kindly Of
fered to escort me. This very kind
offer l accepted and 1 much enjoyed
the trip and his society. His mind was
clear and his memory good and withal
he was a keen observer of things
around him.
On this trip Mr.. Hope gave me an
account of a visit he had made in
company with his father, to General
Washington when he was about Is
years old. General Washington was
on visit to Baltimore, which was
some 80 miles distant. When he and
his father arrived in Baltimore they
went to the Town Inn Hotel, where
Washington was stopping, and at his
invitation they remained and took
supper with him.
When supper was announced they
sat down to plain table and 1 think
he said that Washington said grace
and then they were waited on by the
servants. And after that Washington
turned to the waiter and asked him
about his supper" when he replied
that 'he had forgotten it." He then
went out of the room and soon re-
turned and placed before the General
"a bowl Of mush and milk" which
constituted "his supper"
A bowl of mush and milk! Surely
dish fit for king, a president. a
governor, a congressman, a citizen, a
clergyman or an editorl But I think
that there are not many of our young
people, trained as they are, who would
have imagined that General Washing
ton could have chosen for his supper
at a Baltimore hotel a plain bowl of
mush and milk. But thus it was that
unconsciously he showed his greatness
constantly, in his plain, commonsense
way of living and doing, in his entire
lack of pomposity, and of effort to
make those around him think of his
greatness. And it may always be out
down as unquestionable that when a
man is trying to impress those
around him as to his great capacities,
however able he may be, in some re-
spects he will always be found great
ly to lack apacity-Baltimor Sun.

the companies to the state under the
guarantee of interest should that debt
not have been previously reimbursed.
Two of the companies, the Northern
and the Lyons, are already free; the
former never having been required 10

will probably commence in few years
to reduce their liabilities to the state.
