Incident Typical
of Washington's Life

A story illustrative of tho hrm and
determined character of Washington is
told in the following description OF af-
fairs during the frontier warfare;
The labors and dangers of the held
were not the only troubles with which
Col. Washington at this time had to
contend. BY an ill-timed parsimony,
the pay OF the officers was reduced so
low as to create murmurs and discon-
tent throughout the camp Complaints
grew loud and vehement, accompanied
with threats TO resign and leave the
army to its fate. Under this pressure
the character OF Washington shone
with the same purity and lusre that
often distinguished it afterwards on
similar trying occasions. In bis letters

Thought Always of
CoUntry'S Welfare

In a letter to Colonel Hamilton, a
delegate In Congress from the state OF
New York. Washington said: My
wish to see the union of these states
established upon liberal and perma-
nent principles, and inclination to
contribute my mite in pointing out the
defects of the present constitution, are
equally great. All my private letters
have teemed with these sentiments,
and, whenever this topic has been the
subject Of conversation, have endeav-
ored to dffuse and enforce them; but
how far any further essay by me might
be productive OF the wished-for end. or

tions of the people that it is not easy
to decide. | shall be Obliged to you.
however, for the thoughts which you
have promised me on this subject, and
as soon as you can make 1t convenient.
No man in the United States is or can
be more deeply impressed with the
necessity of a reform in our present
confederation than myself. No man,
perhaps, has felt the bad effects of 1t
more sensibly; for to the defects there
of, and want of power in Congress,
may justly be ascribed the prolonga-
tion OF the war, and consequently the
expenses occasioned by it. More than
half the perpleXities | have expert

morning, and DR.. Dick in the course
OF the day. All the remedies which
their united counsel could devise were
used without 5eGt.

lion Towards evening he said to DIR.
Craik: Il die hard, but am not afraid
to die. I believed from my first at
tack that / should not survive It, My

time he said little, except to thank
the physicians for their kindness and
request that they give themselves no
more trouble, but let him die quietly.
Nothing further was done, and he sank
gradually till between ten and eleven
o'clock at night, when he expired In
the siXty-eighth year of his age and
in the full possession of his mental
faculties; exhibiting in this short and
painful Illness. and in his death, the
same sample OF patience, fortitude and
submission to the Divine will, which
he had shown in all the acts OF his
life. On Wednesday, the 18th of De-
cember, his remains were deposited in
the family tomb at Mount Vernon.
Congress was at this time in session
at Philadelphia; and, when the news
of the melancholy event arrived at the
seat OF government, both houses i'm
mediately adjourned for the remainder
of the day. The next morning, as soon
as the House of Representatives had
convened, Mr.. Marshall. afterwards
chief justice, rose in his place and ad-
dressed the speaker in an eloquent and
pathetic speech, briefly recounting the
public acts of Washington. Let us,
then" said he at the conclusion, pay
the last tribute of respect and affection
to our departed friend. Let the Grand
Council of the nation display those
sentiments which the nation feels"
He then offered three resolutions. pre-
viously prepared by General Henry
Lee, which were accepted. BY these
it was proposed, that the House should
in body wait on the President to ex-
press their coincidence; that the speak
er's chair should be shrouded in black,
and the members and officers of the
House be dressed in black, during the
session; and that a committee, in con-
junction with a committee from the
Senate, should be appointed Ito con-
slider on the most suitable manner of
paying honor to the memory Of the
man, first in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his fellow citi-
zens.'
The Senate testified their respect
and sorrow by similar proceedings. A
joint committee of the two houses was
appointed, who reported resolutions
recommending that a marble monu
ment should be erected to commemo
rate the great events in the military
and political life of Washington; that
an grafton, suited to the occasion,
should be pronounced in the presence
of both houses OF Congress; that the
people Of the United States should wear

there being now prospect that the

GrA titude of
Congress Shown

When Washington returned to New
burg, at the close of the revolution,
he found a letter from the president OF
Congress asking his attendance on
that assembly then in session at
Princeton. The object of this request
was to consult him on the arrange
ments for peace, and other public con
Germs. While he was making prepara-
tions to leave camp Congress conferred
on him new honors. II was voted
unanimously that an equestrian statue
of General Washington should be
erected at the place where the resi-
dence OF Congress should be estab-
lished, and that 1t should be executed
by the best artist in Europe, under the
superintendence of the minister of the
United States at the Court OF Ver-
sailles.

to the governor he assumed firm and
manly tone. demanded for himself and
his associates an allowance equal to
that received by the king troops, and
deprecated the idea of being placed
upon a footing, which should imply an
inferiority in rank, or in the value of

while he took this high stand in
defending the Just claims of the OH
