GUS. ! cannot come to each OF you
and take my leave. but shall be obliged
to you II each of you will come and
take me by the hand"
A profound silence followed as the
officers gazed at the countenance of
their leader, while the eyes of all were
wet with tears. He then expressed
again his desire that each Of them
should come and take his hand.
One after another followed, receiv-
ing and returning the afectionats
adieu of their commander, after which
he left the room in silence, followed
by his officers in procession to en-
bark in the barge that was to convey
him to Paulus Hook. now Jersey City.
As he was passing through the light
infantry, drawn up on either side to
receive him, an old soldier who was
by his side on the terrible night Of
his march to Trenton. stepped out Of
the ranks and reached out his arms.
exclaiming: Farewell. my dear gen.
eral. FAREWELL" Washington seized
his hand most heartily. when the SOL
diers forgot all discipline, rushed
toward their chief and bathed him with
their tears. The scene was like that
Of a good patriarch taking leave of
his children and going on long jour.
ney whence he might return no more.
Having entered the barge, he turned
to the weeping company upon the
wharf and, waving his hat, bade them
a silent adieu. They stood with heads
uncovered until the barge was hidden
from their view, when. in silent and
solemn procession. they returned to
the place where they had assembled.

The $4,000

The Sentinel last week lead
out in whole column of words
on the S., 600 proposition which
the Herald for some time has
been bringing home to the tax
payers of Baca county, and IT,
nally brings up-or leaves off,
right where it started.
The hardest thing in the
world to combat are words that
lead nowhere and say nothing.
The substance of the whole
column is, Shafroth eXtravh-
gance, debts left over; with not
one single instance cited t, sub
stanclate the assertion. Bro
Jones caught the expression from
certain republican organ. years
ago, and he has rolled ii a, q
sweet morsel under his tongne
ever since.
Next to the difficulty of com
batting words that lead nowhere
and say nothing, is the difficulty
of combating a bare assertion.
So difficult is it, in fact, that
we are not going to undertake it.
1t will be time enough for the
Herald to answer the charge Of
"Shafroth extravigance' and
"debts left over" when the as
sersion is backed up with ledg-
er account Of the facts.
And when that is done, some
Of the facts showing up the hol.
lowness of the republican ra1)ying
cry will open up the eyes of the
tax payers of Baca county still
more to that $500 that Baca
county is paying for republican
economy"
Meantime, while the Sentinel
is busying itself in an effort to
confound it's readers, it might
lead out III an explanation of why
this economy administrations"
lowered the valuations of the
railroads and raised ii on all
other property
