travagance or waste permitted. But
with the strictest economy it is said
that his expenses far exceeded his
salary of $4,000.
The diary which Washington kept
here, as all through life, is most in
teresting, and gives pleasant
glimpse of life in the capital of the
United States at that day.
One day he writes: "Sat from nine
until II o'clock for Mr.. Trumbull to
draw my picture in his historical
pieces" Again: sat from ten
o'clock till II for Mr.. John Trumbull
to draw my picture. A good deal OF
company gentlemen and ladies' to
visit Mrs. Washington this after
noon" In very many places he notes
with apparent satisfaction the num-
Der and style of persons at these re-
ceptions. One Saturday he writes:
"Walked to my newly-engaged lodg-
ings to fix on spot for new stable
which was about to build. Agreed
with - to erect one 80 feet square,
16 feet pitch, to contain IL stalls,
etc., for 6 65."
Along with these homely notes are
memoranda of state affairs and rec
ords of weighty discussions.
During his term of Office Washing
ton made tours to the New England
and southern states.
I'm His Retirement.
Soon after Washington's retirement
to Mount Vernon he wrote to McHenry
a letter, which gives good picture OF
his life as he took it up again on his
farm. 81 find myself" he says, Sin the
situation nearly of beginner; for, al
though 1 have not houses to build lex
cept one, which I must erect for the
accommodation and security of my
military, civil and private papers,
which are vo.uminous and may be in
terestng), yet 1 have scarcely anything
else about me that does not require con-
siderable repairs. In word, am al
ready surrounded by joiners, masons,
and painters, and such is my anxiety to
get out of their hands that l have
scarcely room to put friend into or
to sit in myself without the music OF
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1901-02-22

hammers or the odoriferous scent of
paint"
Although Gen. Washington easily
dropped back into the round of country
duties and pleasures and the manage
ment of the plantation, which had al
ways been a pleasure to him, there is a
touch of WEAKNESS and sadness in the
letters he writes. Writing again to Mr..
McHenry, he says: Il begin my
diurnal course with the sun; if my
hirelings are not in place 1 send them
messages of sorrow for their indisposi-
ton. Having put these wheels in
motion, I examine the state of things
further; the more they are probed the
deeper I find the wounds which my
buildings have sustained by an absence
andneglect of eight years. By the time
I have accomplished these matters,
breakfast "a little after seven o'clock
is ready. This being over, mount my
horse and ride around my farms, which
employs me until it is time to dress for
dinner, at which rarely miss seeing
strange faces, come, as they say, out
of respect for me. Pray, would not the
word curiosity answer as we'll? And,
how different this from a few friends
at a cheerful board. The usual time of
sitting at table, walk, and tea bring
me within the dawn of candle light,
previous to which, if not prevented by
company, l resolve that, as the glitter
ing taper supplies the place of the great
luminary, I will retire to my writing
table and acknowledge the letters ]
have received. When the lights are
brought feel tired and disinclined to
engage in this work, conceiving that
the next night will do as we'll. The
next night comes, and, with it, the same
causes for postponement, and SO on.
It may strike you that in this detail no
mention is made of any portion of time
allotted for reading. The remark
would be just, for I have not looked in
to a book since came home, nor shall l
be able to do it until have discharged
my workmen; probably not before the
nights grow longer, when, possibly,
may be looking in Doomsday book
For the rest, the best portrait we get
of Washington at this time is tina,
given by John Bernard, distinguished
English actor, who visited this country
in 1913. Travelling on horseback,
through the country to Alexandria,
Bernard came upon IN upturned We

Actor BernNrd's' Meeting.
The stranger, all the time addressing
volley of invectives to the man,
worked in the broiling sun with Bern
ard until the chaise was righted.
'Then," recounts the actor, "my COM
panion offered very courteously to dust
my coat. He was tall, erect, we'll
made man, advanced in years, but who
appeared to have retained all the vigor
and elasticity resulting from a life Of
temperance and exercise. His dress
was blue coat buttoned to his chin,
and buckskin breaches. I failed to
identify him, and to my surprise found
l was an object of equal speculation in
his eyes. But, after moments pause,
he said: ''Mr. Bernard, believe" and
mentioned the occasion on which he
had seen me play in Philad elphia. He
then asked Bernard to go home with

the children, and, finally, the high
bred hunters, Chinkling and Valiant,
Ajax and Blueslin, land score of
others. In the tnerning he visited the
stables first, and next he visited and
inspected the kennels of the hounds

Truelove, Music and Sweetlips-
ready and eager to set the woods
a-inging with their baying.
The hounds met three times a week
in the season. Off they would start
at. daybrealk,. Washington, splendidly
mounted, generally on Blueskin, an
iron-gray hunter, riding in the midst
of the hounds. He wore blue coat,
scarlet waistcoat, buckskin breeches
and velvet cap. After him came the
neighboring gentlemen and ladies,
headed by Mrs. Washington, in a
scarlet habit. There was no difficult
ty in finding, and away they would
go after big black or gray fox.
The country was mostly wild and un-
fenced, offering rough and dangerous
footing to the horses. Washington
diary of this time is filed with al
lusions to the sport. "Went hunting
with Jacky Custis and catched fox
after three hours chase; found it in
the creek" or, "catched fox with
bob'd tail and cut ears, after seven
hours chase, in which most of the
dogs were worsted;" and, "foX hunt
ing with Lord Fairfax and his broth
er and Col. Fairfax; started a fox
and lost it; dined at Belvoir and re-
turned in the evening""
Washington was the soul of hospi-
tally, and at few times, especially
in the hunting season, was the house
without guests. He liked life and
gayety and conversation, music and
dancing, and game of cards in bad
weather, and he liked heartily the
presence of young persons and
friends.
At this time, too, Washington was
a member of the house of burgesses.
He was diligent in church affairs and
very active in the vestry. In short,
he was thoroughly philosophical
citizen, taking part in all the serious

him for couple of hours rest, and
once exclaimed: 'Have I the honor of
addressing Gen. Washington? with
asmile that have never seen equaled,"
continues the actor, she offered his
hand and replied: An odd sort of in
PRODUCTION, Mr.. Bernard; but I am
pleased to find that you can play so
active part in private, and without a
prompter.'
Perhaps no man in private life ever
Submitted himself more often to the
tender mercies of the portrait painter
than Washington, and yet it has been
said that few portraits resemble him.
There was an expression on Washing
toms face" writes Brissot de Warville,
that no painter had succeeded in TAX
ing" In 1777 Washington wrote: ST
am so hackneyed to the touches of the
painters pencil that [ am now alto
gether at their beck, and sit, like pa
tience on monument, whilst they are
delineating the lines of my face. 1t is
a proof of what habit and system can
effect. At first, 1 was as impatient at
the request and as FESTIVE under the OPP
GRAFTON as colt is of the saddle. The
next time I submitted very reluctantly,
but with less fiouncing. Now, no dray
moves more readily to the mill than l
do to the painters chair" Among the
most notable portraits of Washington
are those by Peale, Wright, Ramage,
Savage, Trumbull, Wertmul.er Vallee,
Houdon and those by Stuart. The orig
inal Stuart pictures were copied many
times. There is one in the art insti-
tute concerning the authenticity of
which there has been much discussion.
Prince de Broglie, who saw Washing
ton in 1882, wrote of him: Ellis physi-
ognomy is mild and open. His accost is
cold, although polite. His pensive
gray eyes seem more attentive than
sparkling, but their expression is be-
nevolent, noble and seH-possessed. In
his private conduct he preserves that
polite and attentive good breeding
which satisfies everybody and that dig
niied reserve which offends no one.
Modest even to humility, he does not
seem to estimate himself at his true
worth. He speaks but little in general,
and that in a subdued tone"
The estimates which great men have
placed upon Washington's character
are almost unanimous in giving him
rank with the noblest of all ages.
Thomas Jefferson wrote: II felt on his
death, with my countrymen, that verify
great man hath fallen this day in
Israeli"
Lord Brougham called Washington
"the greatest man of our own or any
age"

his stepchildren, all displayed a love
of simplicity, but with a constant in
sistence that all should be of the
best.
Washington's active life, as well as
his pleasures, was largely out of
doors. He understood every branch
of farming; he rose early, worked
steadily, gave everything his person
al supervision, kept his own accounts
with wonderful exactness, and he
made money. He farmed, as he fought
and governed, better than anybody
else. At that time he appeared an
evenly-balanced, square and solid
planter.
His hobby was hunting. Washing.
toms stables were filled with the best
animals that Virginia could furnish.
He las set down in the register him

business of the colony as well as its
social life and pleasures.
Social Life of the President.
On court days he went to the
courthouse with other gentlemen to
listen to the arguments and hear the
news. On his visits to Williamsburg
his diaries tell us of round of din
ners, calls, theaters, and, on Sundays,
church. So the reasonable, whole
some and happy current of life at
Mount Vernon moved gently on till
stirring public events diverted its
course.
Washington's manner of living and
his conduct of his private affairs
while president was naturally very
different from that of the plantation
days. However, everything he did
still evinced the simplicity and at the
same time the wonderful dignity and
poise of his character.
From his chief manager at Mount
Vernon he exacted a full and exact
weekly report. Once week he wrote
regularly to the manager, remarking
on the report of the preceding week
and adding new directions. He had
not been long in New York before
he found it necessary to establish
rules for receiving visitors and en-
PERTAINING company. There was no
precedent to serve as a guide, and
the matter was one of considerable
delicacy and difficulty. The vice pres
ident, Mr.. Jay, Mr.. Madison, Mr..
Hamilton and other gentlemen con-
curing, a set of regulations were
adopted. Every Tuesday between the
hours of three and four he was pre-
pared to receive such persons as
chose to call; foreign ministers,
strangers and citizens came and went
without ceremony. Every Friday aft
ernoon the rooms were open in like
manner for visits to Mrs. Washing
ton, which were on a still more so
ciable footing, and at which Gen.
Washington was always present.
He accepted no invitations to din
Iner.
No visits were received ON Sunday.
In the morning the president uni
formly attended church.
Washington here exercised the
same care in the management, of his
household as at Mount Vernon. All
accounts were scrutinized, and NO ex-
