presence a splendid horseman, carrying
with him ever the port and air of au-
thority and native majesty-an ideal
commander.
SO when this noble Virginian appeared
before that northern army and drew his
sword as their commander under those
Cambridge elms his fame had preceded
him and he was received with shouts Of
welcome and Of confidence. Then all
men knew it was to be a struggle to the
death.
Hardly a better instance does history
a ford OF patience under provocation, OF
logged determination under difficulties, OF
uncomfortable will and courage, holding
on SO long and coming out triumphant at
last over such mighty opposition. These
great qualities, as we have already seen,
belonged to the man more than to the
soldier 1t was indeed the great man
behind the soldier, the man with the
great patriotic heart, with the wise head,
and the lofty, mistaken soul, that
brought us through that long and tremen-
dous struggle and gave us our glorious
place and opportunity among the nations.
No other man on this continent but he
could have done it. Greene, among the
generals OF the revolution, would have
come nearest to it, but he would have
failed.
But in looking over the whole field and
record, in the light of all the facts and
history it will be seen that Washington
made no military mistakes, that he I'M
proved all his opportunities. that his
generalship will stand the test Of criti-
cism. He struck whenever he>had the
chance, his plans were good, and when
compelled, his retreats were mastery.

which had recently been raised by the
genius of the elder Pitt to the front rank
among the great warike nations Of the
world-a nation whose military posts and
possessions already dotted the globe,
whose victorious naves covered every
ocean aud sea, whose morning drum beat,
MS Webster said, was heard round the
world. 1t was against such power as
this that this handful of patriots had
thrown down the gage of rebellion and
defiance.
Washington is known in history as n
providential man; that is, man raised
up by Providence to fill a great place
and perform great mission. However
this may be, he certainly had great parts
and great and peculiar fitness for the
most difficult and trying place which he
filled in history. He had had expert
ence in the previous Indian and French
wars, and had proven himself wise,
competent and heroic officer. He had
great personal advantages for command.
He was Of fine physique and imposing

cit is curious what plans certain

pursuers off the track. | have had
some interesting experiences along this
line in my time and have often been
amazed by the cunning displayed by
wild animals. Any man who has ever
hunted any in the South knows some
thing about the coon's cunning when
this willy member is being trailed by
dog. He will resort to all kinds Of
ruses in order to throw the dog off the
track. He will run UP on one side of
a tree and Jump off on the other, jump
ing out as far as he can, evidently
irving to convince the dog that he is
still up the tree. Or he will try to
lose his trail in Il creek or some other
body of water.
We all know, too, of the possum's
cunning, how he will pretend to be
asleep or dead until the dogs back is
turned and then scuttle if he gets Il

WASHlNGTON'S COACH.

The coach which bore George and Mar
tina Washington from Mount Vernon to
Savannah has been removed from the
premises Of Augustus Frey in New York
to Mount Vernon, where it will remain
hereafter as an example of what a first
class long-distance vehicle was in the
eighteenth century. The coach was pur-
chased twenty-five years ago at the CEN
tennial in Philadelphia by Benjamin
Richardson Of Harlem. After his death
twelve years ago it was purchased by
Mr.. Frey, who has had it on exhibition
ever since. Occasionally it was drawn

The difficulties which encountered
Washington when he took up his great
trust as commanderin-ch Of the con-
tinental army were most complicated
and immense. The theater Of the strug-
gle was n vast one, geoSraphlcally,
stretching along the Atlantic coast from
Massachusetts to South Carolina, while
the whole population was only three mill
ions-not very much greater than that
of the State of Michigan, and not so
great into a million as that of Illinois.
Out Of this small, scattering and peace
full population an army was to be raised,
organized and equipped capable Of con
tending with the chief military and mari
time power Of the globe. And it was
not to be a struggle between government
and government, between one nation and
another. 1t was a rebellion. and there
was really no central authority, no arms
or warlikc stores, no navy, no treasury
or financial system or responsibility. 1t

Mr.. T.v. Ragsdale remembers it. He was lame for
two months from the carelessness of fool kid.
Many others remember it it the worst display
of and reckless foolshness the city has wit
messed
The wonder is that the town wasn't burned down
during carnival Of fire and careessness which lasted
several days and nights. 1t was the worst ever.
We think that the sale of the toy pistol the cannon
cracker we'll dangerous devices should
be absolutely prohibited, and the enforcement Of law
regulating fireworks the business streets rigidly
pushed.
The safety of the town demands it.
A mans patriotism is measured by the noise he
make.

Gov. Peabody deserves unqualified endorsement
by the state convention which meets early in
May.
He will beyound all probability be the Republican
nominee for reelection fall If he is it certainly
would be good political policy to give him the most
substantial and hearty endorsement at this time.
There is fearing considering the eject upon
the labor vote, as the labor vote tha could easily be
turned is against us anyway.
Gov. Peabody has done just exactly what the
law abiding citizen have been trying get
governor many year. that is to protect life and
property and its to the people to whether they
go back the Orman, Thomas and Adams class
OF governors not.
