Interesting History of Cane Once Owned by Father of His
 Country.

One of the things that passed through the Baltimore fire un. scathed was cane once owned by George Washington and now the property of Maj. H. H. Raleigh. The cane reposed during the fire in the vault of the Merchants' Credit and Collection Bureau at Liberty and German streets, says the New York Sun.
 "In Gen. Washington's will" said Maj. Raleigh, 1.-two canes are mentioned. One was bequeathed to Robert Washington, of Chop tank, Va, who gave it to Robert Thompson, relative.
 ''Later it passed to Miss Kittie Thompson, a sister of Robert Thompson, and finally Peter Ora. son Washington Of New York, who owas assistant secretary of the treasury under Guthrie, was the owner of the stick.
 "Peter Grason Washington be. queathed the cane to the oldest male heir of Gen. George Wash. ington who was living at the time of his death. The late Mrs. Ra. leigh was a granddaughter of a Mrs. McPherson, of Washington, D. G., who before her marriage was Miss Washington. After some contention it was proved that Mrs. Raleigh's brother, whose family name was Edwards, was the person entitled to the pos. session of the cane. purchased the relic for my wife, and when she died it became my property"
 Although described as a cane. the relic is really a staff. It is of bamboo, about four and half feet long and just such a stick as Washington might have used in tramping over his broad acres in Mount Vernon. The Washington coat-of-arrns adorns it's gold head, anditisencircled with a gold band. upon which is inscribed:
 "Willed to Robert Washington i and by him to descend to Peter Grason Washington, of New York"
 As soon as the embers had cooled, Maj. Raleigh hastened to the vault and was much relieved Q find after the cane had been re. moved from the chamois skin case hat 1t had not been scOrched
