Washington and tbs Artists.

Writing to u friend May 1G, 1873,
Washington thus described his expert
ence with portrait painters:
Il am so hackneyed to the touches OF
the painters pencil that l am now al
together at their beck and sit like Pa
tience on monument while they are
delineating the lines of my face. 1t Is
proof among many others of what
habit and customs can effect. AT first
was as impatient of the request and
as restive under the operation as colt
is of the saddle. The next time sub
mitted very reluctantly, but with less
founcing. Now no dray moves more
readily to the thill than l do to the
painters chair"

mands sacrifice, labor and money.
To the men who have made this
loan go,-to Publicity, Speakers, In
dustrial and Canvassing committees.
to Bennington Club for furnished
rooms for committee headquarters. -

generous publicity space.-to adver
tisers, who donated space, to Mana

tributed gratis the Opera House and
its various appointments, for the rally
and for the cooperative assistance of
all four banks, am very grateful. We
have all worked together for our
Country and the common cause and
we are the gamers. too, aside from
the fact that. the Governments pres
ent financial needs have been met.

$419,S00 and there were over nine hun
dred subscribers. In behalf of my

 It is a strange thing how igncr- ance is as superstitious concerning mysteries of science as about the re- religious mysteries which it is cal led upon to credit.
 Because they who have no under standing of physical facts, beyond the mere sensibility to their exist ence as manifested through their senses, and because men of science have accomplished wonders in d far from wonderful manner, every thing is believed to be possible in the name of science. Nothing is re. garded as impossible and hence when the mind of the literary hack diverts itself in. fancies in the Sunday Supplements, the people who know no better accept all at it's written value.
 Scientific superstition is not d whit better than religious supersti- tion and is just as extravangant.
 We doubt not did some scientific man append his name to an asser- tion that he had discovered a means of neutralizing the laws of gravita- tion, and had discovered a new my sterious force which applied to matter would act in an exactly op- posite manner, there would not be one but thousands and millions who would fully believe it and be quite angry if incredulity was mani fested by any one.
