AEuinnIdo Leading Simple Life,

Aguinaldo, the famous Filipino chief
tain, is now engaged in the work of a
shipbuilder. He has il shipyard on the
Neimos river, at Cavite veno, a village
near Cavite; is thoroughly %reconciled
to American rule and has taken the
oath of allegiance. He is now about 3s
years old, first came into fame in 1895
when he led the revolt Of his country
men against Spanish rule. Thereafter
he was constantly active as an insur-
gent until America conquered Spain,
~whereupon he took up arms against the
conquerors and caused this country far
more trouble than Montojo caused
Dewey until he was finally captured by
Funston. Aguinaldo, it is said, had
been q close student of the life of Ma
poleon and was credited with IN ambt-
ton to be a military leader such as
was the Little Corsican.'' r. fA..

a country doctor who was relating some
of his experience to several of his old

Her age (just turned of .I4) is not too great for a boarding school, but to enter now with any toll erable prospect. the Mistress of it must not only be respectable but one who establish es. and will enforce good rules. She is prone to idleness. and having been under no control would create all the difficulty. I have formed no res olution respecting what would be proper for me to do with her, but that I may the better judge.

Dear Sir:
 My attention was so much occupied the days preceding my departure from
 Philadelphia, with matters of a public nature, that could scarcely think of those which more immediately related to my own.
 Who the Steward and house keeper shall be must be left to Mrs. Wash ington and yourself to determine from circumstances. and the offers that are made. Francis, unless Holker's man could be unexceptionably obtained, should prefer for reasons have al- ready mentioned to you:--but be him or them whom they may, it must be expressly understood. that wine is not admissible at their Table. If 1t is SO under any pretence whatever. 1t will Hyde has done. It would be we'll in all other respects to have a clear deh- milton of the expectations and obli- gations of the parties, that mistakes may not happen. If Francis should be employed, 1t ought to be made known to him that his, services in the kitchen, as usual. will be expected. and, that in case of the present Cooks leaving me. or attempting to raise his wages:-that he is to do with Hercules and such un- der aids as shall be found indispensa- bly, necessary. nay. farther. that if up- on trial he finds, as am sure is the case. that we can do without Wears. he may be discharged. How far, un- der present circumstances. the Dutch Girl in the kitchen, is necessary, you must Judge of, and act accordingly. As Jacobs wife is brought into the family, the new Landry women will go out of Course.
 I wish you would have all the pack ages moved out of the Garden and have 1t kept in complete order, at nay expense and the paved yard also;-- Rhemur and Jacob are certainly com potent to this business. The top of one of the Urns in the Garden was broken of by it's falling. made John Mauls carry it to Mir. Hyde. let 1t be cennented on again.
 Furnish Mrs. Washington with what money she may want-and from time ito time-ask her if she does want, as she Is not fond of applying. As I write in haste, shall no more at this time but my best wishes for Mrs. Lear. &c.
 For the history of our travels and so far. refer to a letter I wrote to Mrs. Wsshington--from An- napolis Yesterday. I am Your Sincere and Affectionate friend.
