!. Washington's Birthday.
One hundred and seventy years ago
to-day George Washington, the first
President Of the United States, was
born at Wakefield, Westmoreland
county, Virginia. AS early as 1871 the
soldiers OF the patriot army and the
allied French forces celebrated his
birthday in elaborate fashion. The
revival Of interest in things historical,
which has been evidenced in many
ways In the last few years, has given a
impetus TO the study Of the life and
character Of Washington. The libra
ries report an increased demand for
Literature on the subject, especially
among children. The practice Of
holding Washington exercises In the
public schools has become general, and
is followed even 10 Mississippi, where
: there are no statutory holidays.
AS some n said many years since,
thence, perhaps, was the memory Of a
man so honored, for never had there
lived before a public, man whose viz
tues only can be remembered"
