as you reach the portals of that splendid
mansion and from it look out upon the
broadcast and ~grandest horizon that ever
mortal eyelids behold. The sight is in
spring.
To the eastward and south are the beau
tiful rolling lands threaded by the silver
stream of the Ravana. To the north and
west is the rude and rugged glory of the
Blu Ridge mountains. At your feet is
the quiet capital Of Albemarle, and in the
background the classic beauty Jefferson's
pet, the University of Virginia. 1t is
soul inspiring to stand upon this mount
Of beauty and contemplate the grandeur
OF the scene. To the north and east is
Montpelier, the hOme of President Mad
ison; to the south and west is Indian camp,
the home of President Monroe. Within
close range are the homes of Merewether
Louis and William Clark, known better as
Lewis and Clark, the great American explor-
ers, and that Of George Rodgers Clark, to
whose daring spirit and foresight we are in
debted, for the northwest territory, embrace
ing the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan and Wisconsin. Farther to the west
is Still House mountain, at the foot Of
which camped Burgoyne's army, when led
captive through the colonies.
The architectural plan of Monticello was
an innovation upon the severe English de-,
signs of that day. 1t combines the Grecian
and Italian with the practical American
model of it's designer, and exhibited a
striking contrast with the prevalent archi-
lecture Of the country. It's main entrance
is toward the east. You mount broad steps
and pass through a portico of heavy stone
columns into a broad square hall or room,
from which connect the various other
apartments on the first floor of the building.
1t would take more than the limit of space

description of the interior of

to attempt a description of the interior of
this mansion.
An effort has been made to preserve, as
far as possible, its original design and
furnishings. Many Of the old family pieces
of furniture still remain, among them a
curiously designed bedstead with curved
rolling foot and headpieces richly carved.
The ground Of the sides and ends are bright
blue co~loring, ornamented in gold, the
whole having the appearance of the band
wagon of a circus. 1t was suggested by
one of the visiting party that it might
have been "Jefferson's political band
wagon" and that it might be well for the
democratic party to get into it once more.
Jefferson had a goodly share of inventive
genius, which he put to practical use, and
many things about the place exhibit his
handiwork in this direction. Among them
an attachment to an old-fashioned clock,
that hangs in the big hall room, by which
the days of the week were Indicated; an
other commonplace and useful invention to
be seen is the three-legged stool. You
would be attracted by the curious worm
fence, four or five feet high, built with
single brick piled one upon the other, fol-
lowing the principle of the old time rail
fence. Grand and imposing old trees adorn
the grounds, many of which were trans,
planted from across the water.
1t is designed to connect this historic
home with the city of Charlottesville by
an electric car line, which will follow the
grade of the new Jefferson Memorial road
now in course of construction. When this
is accomplished a new inspiration will be
given to the glory of the sacred spot, pill
grimages will become more frequent, and
from this soul-flling eminence will ever
flow the inspiring patriotism of a pure
democracy. r. w. RICHARDSON.

connected by colonades. Many new build
ings and departments have been added to
the university, but its original design is
still preserved.
This great institution was the browning
work of Jefferson's life and is called his
pet" 1t is said that he watched every
detail Of its construction with intense In
terest, and when prevented by bad weather
or ill-health from riding from his home to
direct the force at work each day, he
would watch the movements Of the work.
men from his elevated retreat, four miles
away, through a telescope, and dispatch
messengers with his directions when neces-
sary. He regarded the founding of this
university, upon his cherished principle OF
free education, as among the great achieve
ments of his life, and on his tombstone
requested to have inscribed: Here lies
buried Thomas Jefferson, the author OF
the Declaration of American Independence,
the author of the Statute of Virginia for
religious freedom, and the founder OF the
University of Virginia."
You would not be satisfied to visit Char
lottesville without making a pilgrimage to
Monticello, pronounced Montichello), the
home of this great man. The road winds
around the rolling lands to find the easiest
grades, crosses MoOre's creek over an old
fashioned bridge, or by the ford, and then
follows the gradual ascent OF a spur Of
the Blue Ridge to the summit of Little
Mountain, where is situated the grand
old homestead. About half way from the
entrance, on the side of the rugged noun
tain, is the family graveyard. 1t is about
fifty feet square, surrounded by a brick
wall with an iron gate as it's entrance.
Within, towering above the lesser grave
stones and monuments is the shaft that
marks the tomb OF him, who. from this

Episodes and Incidents in the Lives of Noted People

The Doctors medicines were taken faith
fully, but his advice was ignored. Again
and again was his advice given and just
as often it fell on unheeding ears. Finally
the doctor one day invited the invalid to
drive with him and after much persuasion
she was assisted into the carriage and
doctor and patient drove off together. The
horses were turned down a side street
where there were no street cars and after
two or three blocks had been passed the
carriage stopped, the doctor jumped out
and invited the lady to descend, and before
she could inquire the reason for this the
doctor had jumped into his carriage and
driven of, leaving the invalid standing on
the sidewalk, She must p~erforce walk
home.
The friends Of DR.. Mitchell who tell the
story do not say whether the patients
subsequent improvement in health was such
as to compel her forgiveness for this high
handed treatment from the brusque old
doctor, but 1t is safe to assume that her
state Of mind at the time was anything
but amiable.

NJ. Rouyier, the present French minister
of finance and far and away the most pow
erful individuality of the present cabinet
at Paris, with the exception of NJ. Delcasse,
commenced life as a book agent and as
m for a book dealer who sold on the
installment plan yoluminous works of the
kind given as prizes to lads in the lycee
schools, Subsequently he entered the serv-
ice of a Greek merchant named ZahopOulo
established at Marseilles, and while in his
employ took charge in turn Of the various
branches of the business at Constantinople,
Alexandria, Odessa and smyrna, acquiring
in that way an amount of knowledge of the
conditions of the Levant and of the Mediter-
Tanean which is possessed by no other
French statesman Of the present day. He
is a past master in the art of finance, and

~ ington, in Albermarle county,
- central Virginia, at the foot of
EQ&D&1 the Blue Ridge mountains, Is sit
- uated the historic village-city of
Charlottesville Its principal street is a
sinuous highway leading from the Jefferson
road to the busy entrance to the grounds
Of the University of Virginia. The town
strung along this serpentine route sug-
gests "Strington- Pike" Narrow
old fashioned byways cross the main street
at intervals. On the west side are pretty
avenues lined with comfortable, spacious
and attractive homes, old-fashioned and
modern.
The historic interest of the old town
clusters around the quaint eighteenth cen
fury court house, with its comfortable office
apartments, open freplaces, old fashioned
court room, with elevated jury box and high
picket ratings and curiously constructed
boxes for the court baiiiff and crier. The
walls are hung with rich old oil paintings
OF Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, and other
distinguished jurists once members Of that
time-honored bar. The lawyers maintain
their offices in the ancient looking brick
buildings adjacent to the court house and
seem perfectly content with about the same
furnishings and surroundings Of 100 and
more years ago. The central feature, and
perhaps the ~all-important one to this viii
lage city, is the University of Virginia,
founded by the illustrious Jefferson. 1t
is located In the southwest part Of the
city. Its buildings and grounds cover sew
eral hundred acres of undulating land, with
a general slope toward the city. The plan
OF the buildings was made by Jefferson
and he superintendent their construction

In his recent volume of "Reminiscences %
covering sixty years Of public life, George
S. Boutwell, has many entertaining anec-
dotes to relate concerning his old asso'
ciates in politics and government. Mr..
Boutwell, admired General Grant in all his
capacities and considered him far superior
in military affairs to Sheridan or Sherman.
He ranks Sheridan above sherman as a
commander, and assures us that sheridan,
in spite of his denials, did say, after his
return from Europe at the close Of the

DR.. s. Weir Mitchell of Philadelphia has
the reputation among his patients of being
somewhat dictatorial in his way of giving
advice. He certainly expects his COM
mands to be followed with unquestioning
obedience.
Some years ago, relates the Saturday
Evening Post, DR.. Mitchell had among his
patients a lady who had been suffering
for a long time from nervous prostration.
She was greatly debilitated by disease and
was too weak to rouse herself to any
physical effort. DR.. Mitchell's first advice
was: Get out in the fresh air, Take a
walk"
