‘ ‘A million little diamonds
Twinkled on the trees,
And all the little maidens said,
‘A jewel, if you please 2"

To catch the diamond gay,
A million little .sunbeams came
And stole them all away."

A FREAK 0F FATE.
Bertholet declared gloomily that he meant
. to see something of “life." This in a solilo-
/
quy sacred to heroes. .
You wouldInot believe how. he clung to
youth, or, rather, the wild fantasies of Paris-
ian youth,in the shape of wide trowsers,cufl:'s
that scratched his knuckles, and a shirt col—
lar too tall behind and too low in front. He
nursed his sparse, dyed hair with pathetic
anxiety, and so poniaded and perfumed
himself that he' carried about his own sacred
atmosphere, to the disgust of Madame.
Madame Bertholet's objections to her hus-
band dated from their wedding day; he had
not been her ideal when his hair was brown,
not groom—accidents will happen—and when
his teeth were his own by the divine right of
growth. After thirty years of married life,‘
custom had failed to reconcile Madame to
the inevitable.
Thirty years ago Madame was round and
rosy, with a. tiny hard line about the corners
of her mouth. Time, that jester, amused
himself by exaggerating these characteristics ; ?
Madame’s roundness had developed into
fourteen stone, her complexion to what it
would be false politeness to term rosy. The
hard line had crept up to her black eyes, and
found congenial outlet in a prayer book with
a snapping clasp. -
Madame was Calvinistic,and life was to her
neither a pleasure nor a joke. Neither was
it to Monsieur. He was not Calvanistic, but
he had a way of reflecting Madame’s moods,
and so distorting them that when she spoke
of death with the profound indifference horn
of the toughest life, Monsieur, pulling his
Itifi cuffs over his lean knuckles, would
imagine he were already dead.
The trouble was that Monsieur Bertholet
was rich. He had amassed a fortune in sup-
plying the Paris rabble with horse-flesh in
the guise of joints and cutlets, till at last
Madame. who was ambitious, suggested sell-
ing out and retiring into the gloomy grandeur
of a mansion whose noble occupant had left
his fortune at various roulette tables, and
who glgdly disposed of his family mansion
on condition that a single room was reserved
for his own use.
Madame’s soul rejoiced in the gloom of her
new acquisition. It did her good to see her
family struggle over the slippery floors, or
lean their harrassed backs against the perpen-
dicular stiffness of the chairs.
Two vulnerable spots there were, however,
in her rigorous heart : Monsieur le Pasteur
and “the little one." Madame’s priest was a
comfortable sight, sitting by the fire in the
only easy chair, sipping curacoa or crunching
chocolate eonfits sacred to his coming, while
he and Madame pronounced damning j udg-
ments on heathen, Jews and Christians. _
“I do not often see Monsieur Auguste at
church, my daughter,” M. is Pasteur would
say, gently. .
“My poor little one! He works so hard,
and Sundays he is so tired. You know he
is. delicate.” .
M. is Pasteur brushed a few crumbs from
his priestly coat and coughed dubiously.
There was, however, such settled convic-
tion in every line of his friend’s face, that
he crunched some more chocolate and said
nothing.
There was a fiction in the family called
"the little one,” otherwise Auguste. He
was Madame’s hat-house growth. and at the
age of twenty-eight—in the intervals of
studying law—was fed by her on the most -
harmless ~ pap of knowledge. It was his
mother’s mission in life to show.him.a nice,
straight path 'of existence, which should lead
him to the feet—no, not the feet; that would
be too romantic—to the fortune of a Calvin-
istic maiden, and so rescue him from those
traps with which manly existence Paris is
necessarily endangered.
Monsieur Bertholet was .early sacrificed to
the fiction of "the little one’s" innocence,
and, not to contaminate the infantile purity
of his own son, the unhappy man was re-
stricted to a life of such monotonous misery
that, driven to extremity, he had even tried
to make friends with Madame and M. is
Pasteur. In both efforts he had signally
failed. Then he lingered about the kitchen,
and being, so to speak, ejected, prowled
about the stairs. looking up and down, as if
expecting some one who never came. The
noble occupant of the the third floor back,
coming down these same stairs one evening,
recognized, with a grim smile, in the-solitary
figure leaning against the banisters,a humble
imitation of his own scant hair and generous
linen. .
“M. le Comte,” M. Bertholet murmured,
gratefully, as that nobleman threw him a
smile. ‘
The next day the same meeting; M. le
Comte said a word or two. Three days after
Bertholet confessed to Madame that M, in
"Comte had invited him to his club.
“Is it a righteous place?” Madame asked
M. 1e Pasteur, lifting her black brows. .
M. is Pasteur was, in his usual place by the
hearth. V .
“Heavens, yes! It was a righteous place
enough, whefe they played a game or two
at cards of an evening ; but it was very noble
and select ;" and so Bertholet was allowed,
nay, encouraged, to go.
Bertholet went,and sensibly kept the secret
of the five thousand francs he lost to his
accommodating tenent.
M. 1e Comte was a gentlemanly blackguard,
and, having present supply, , dropped his
landlord, who, however, preserved the fiction
of his friendship, and, under its shelter, even
reached a. certain theatre whose very name
suggests the world, the flesh, and the devil.
There was something of good in Bertho-
let's sinful heart that the thought of .“the
little one" should haunt him as he sunk shyly
into the velvet arm chair, pulled down his
cuffs, smoothed his thin hair, and looked
stealthiiy into the audience.
“Think of “the little one,’ " the names
scratched and the flutes piped, while the
double-bass and the trombones added omi-
nously, “and Madame."
Monsieur Bertholet looked at his deserted
box, hired for.fear of danger, and tried to
think that he was enjoying himself; then his
gaze wandered enviously toward the stalls
where the jeunem doru is supposed to 1011
in aristocratic laziness, and beheld, to his
gasping amazement, “the little one,”—M.
Auguste,—in claw-hammer and crushed bat,
—-an inherited fondness for too expansive a
display'of linen, and a fashion of studying
the stage through his Opera—glass that but
too surely betokened much practice.
“Mon dials!" M. Bertholet gasped, and
sank back into his chair, while a faint grin
dawned over his face. "So! These are the
prayer meetings he attends—ha, ha!"
As father, M. Bertholet was, fora moment,
Overpowered, and there is no knowing what
he might have done had he not himself been
testing forbidden fruit, and if, at the same
time. he were not in deadly terror of M.
Auguste. He was, however, mortal, and a
feeling of joy stole over his heart to think
how Madame was being deceived, and being
human before being a father, M. Bertholet
smiled again, sat a little more at; his ease in
the shadow of his lace curtains, and devoted
undivided attention to'the stage. _
From that day 1!. Bertholet, having lost
all interest in making a shining example 0'
himself, quite forsook the path of virtue, in
a feeble and stealthy way. and hardly dark—
ened the slippery threshold of Madame’s
salon again. “Life" was to M. Bertholet an
awful phrase, not compatible with the Cal-
vinistic sancity of the parlor. Indeed,it was
only to be dreamed of far away from Mad -
ame’s presence; so M. Bertholet, having
weighed pros and cons in his distracted
mind, determined to flee to some congenial
land where plunging into mysterious depths
was compatible with personal security. In
other words, he decided to take his fortune
and, in disguise, to fly to parts unknown.
II,
Three days after, M. Bertholet quietly
disappeared from the bosom of his family.
Gradually it dawned on Madame and “the
little one” that something unusual had hap-
pened, but they bore the uncertainty with
calmness till the third day,,when,with aston-
ishing unanimity of purpose, they both hur-
ried in secret to M. Bertholet's lawyer for
information about the will. There, to their
momentary confusion, they met.
“My little one 1"
“My mother 1"
M. Auguste was round, like his mother,and
his hair was combed over his forehead in a
fine, shining sweep. He pressed his hat to
his heart, and remarked gently—for he was
always polite—that if his sainted father had
left no will, the greater part of the property
would revert to him, M. Auguste.
Madame looked up with a gasp, and, for a
moment, her face turned to a dull yellow.
Was this her Auguste, her “little one” ?
“In fact.” he continued, placidly, “I may
as well tell you that I mean to marry, now
that I am my own master."
“You marry, ‘my little one’? Madame
gasped.
"Confound ‘little one’l M. Auguste re-
plied, with some exasperation, minutely
examining his mustache at a convenient mir-
ror.
“Little one i " Madame cried, with a stamp
of her foot, “I—I forbid it 1”
.M. Auguste turned on her with a most un-
filial look in his small black eyes.
“Suppose, my mother, your ‘little one’
were already married 1’”
With astonishing quickness Madame leaped
to her feet and gave M. Auguste a stinging
blow on the ears.
he’ll come back and send you begging, miser.
able !”
Quick as a flash be grasped her hand.
“But then, my mother,you will not be able
to marry M. 10 Pasteur.” »
An angry red rose to Madame’s face,
and with the last of her by no means feeble
strength she freed her hands, gave her child
another blow, and sank exhausted into a
chair.
A black smile, if there is such a thing,
dawned in the scowl on “the little one’s"
forehead, and ran like lightning down his
long nose; one side of his face was white
and the other red with the marks of five
fingers. -
He stood before his mother, hat in hand,
and said, quite politely : '
“Come and see us-bring M. is Pasteur.
My wife is an angel—she will try to like you.
She dances at the ‘Varieties.’ ”
Madame looked up. The good old days
have passed when a glance could crush, but
Madame did her best, and pointed to the
door.
“Wretch l”
M. Auguste turned with a shrug,and nearly
fell against a little man who tumbled in—a
little man with a quill behind his car, a qua—
vering voice, and no breath.
“Madame!” He held a brown snuff-box,
which be snapped with nervous violence.
“Well, M. is Notar f”.
“M. Bertholet cannot be dead.”
Madame’s eyes flashed triumphantly, while
“the little one,” turning th‘door handle,
muttered an oath.
“I fear,” the little notary said apologeti-
cally turning from mother to son,——“I fear,
from all I have discovered, that Monfieur
Bertholet has run away ' hhis own fortune,
five hundred thousand nos, and that he
has left nothing behind."
Madame did not faint, but she leaned back
in her chair and stared into vacancy.
“Not dead, but gone! Gone with all the
money—our money—my money!”
“You are no better off thanI. my mother.”
She looked up. M. Auguste stood before
her, twirling atiny cane. “I am going in
search of-him, poor old man; and when I
find him I shall make his life pleasant, and,”
he concluded, with a singular smile, "his
little fortune shall make us comfortable. We
shall be a happy family. Good day, my
mother—come and see us,” and so with a‘
polite how he lefbthe room.
“Little one 1”
A man who can run away with five hun-
cred thousand francs is not to be despised,
and Madame, recovering herself gradually,
felt that she had, perhaps, been a little un-
sympathetic in her treatment of M. Bertho-
let.
She rose in unfeigned trouble. “He must
be found,” she said to the lawyer. hHe
must have been mad, to have deserted me.
Employ detectives—anything—but bring him
back. Five hundred thousand francs.” she
said, laying her hand on the little man's arm"
—"five hundred francs left without guidance
ina sinful world will come to no good.”
III.
Monsieur Bertholet, trying to lose himself
in the great Northern Railway station, felt
eyes of the world were” upon him. He
could hardly be said to look like himself 'as
he mingled in the crowd. A flaxen beard
and wig, marvellous checked trowsers, and a
tall gray hat, had transformed him into the
Frenchman’s ideal of an Englishman and
filled his French soul with disgust. Before
But Chelot was sick and sore, and some-
how he couldn’t turn his honest face about
the coupe step and paid no attention. Duval
gave a parting kick to the dusty newspaper
and hurried after him. - .
“Old boy,” he said, with a friendly blow
on his shoulder, “why be angry at foolish
words? We were always good‘ friends; so
come, now, and shake hands. You’re going
far away, and we know the fortune of war.
Bah!” he cried, hastily, “I mean to dance at
yourwedding till I drop!" And he grasped
Chelot’s outstretched hand and wrung it
heartily.
"Now there's Jean Pierre; take his hand;
he’s a good fellow."
Jean Pierre, who had strolled up, was a bit
of a joker, and while he shook Chelot’s hand
with one. with the other he secretly thrust a
battered newspaper bundle into the young
man’s forage-bag, rejoicing, with the hollow
joy of all practical jokers, to think of the
disappotntment in store when he should pull
out the ill-looking paper, instead of the piece
of bread underneath.
Chelot leaned out of the car-window and
watched them sadly, till the train swung
around a curve and tore its way into the
golden summer afternoon.
Chelot was young, and five days ago,before
the news came that his regiment wag ordered
to Mexico, he-had loved all the world in his
honest fashion,because Claude was his world
and Claude loved him. In six days his regi-
ment was ordered to sail ; but ooguea la gal.

than ten years of old age, he thought; and
he stroked his brown mustache and imagined

of happiness, and then he‘would~ gently tell
her that he must leave her for a long time,
perhaps forever. He leaned his head against
the open window, and watched the whent
fields bend beneath the sweep of the sum-
mer wind that touched the frail petals ofthe
scarlet poppies, till they hid beneath the ri-
pening grain. The apple—trees were heavy
with fruit, and between the orchards and for
spreading fields the red-roofed farm-houses
twinkled in sight; then they were lost to
view as the train shot' past. Flocks of sheep,
nibbling peacefully in the pastures, followed
the bell-wether, and scampered into safe dis-
tance from this curving, rumbling snake. At
last came Merle, where Chelot leaped out,
giving himself a shake by way of toilette.
He looked down with pride at his scarlet
trowsers and covertly smoothed his blue
jacket. He swung his forage-hag a trifle
farther backward,gave a cock to his cap,and,
with;hin_ broad shoulders well bxck,ltrudged
down the highway with an easy, swinging
gait that sent the blood to his brown face
and made his eyes sparkle. "In five, days?
Ah, bah! Vogue a la gaze-e."i He whistled a
merry tune, trudging up and down hill to
Plaileroi and Claude. Two or three times he
stopped,—once to pat a bow-legged dog, who
came up rubbing his stupid head against
him; once to kiss a fat baby, with a tight
cap over its fiaxen poll, that lay doubled up
in a speckled heap among the daisies and
clover before a cottage door; and once to
gather a, handful of flaming poppies for
Claude. In the distance he could just see
the village steeple, and he knew that in the
hollow, atthe foot.of the hill, just beyond
the bridge, lay the mill. ' The ancient chest—
nut-tree stood before the door, where the
time-worn mill-stones were piled, step-
fashlon, to the broad threshold, where
Claude sat, summer evenings, spinning and
waiting for him. Chelot knew every stone
and tree on the road.. The children came
up and touched him with friendly, small,
black paws, and! the landlord 'of the “Penan-
Feu," sunning his portly circumference on
the porch of his inn, shook his tasseled night
cap at him.
_“If thou art not too fine for a dance in the
kitchen, bring my sweetheart after dusk and
.show us what thy legs can do."
No wonder that mine host of the “Pot-au-
Fen" was moire of Plaileori; he had‘ an un-
commonly genial way of making himself
necessary. ‘ v . .
The young man shouted back a joyous ac-
ceptance, and springing down the hill, while
his heart beat like a sledge-hammer as he
crossed the bridge over themifl-stream and
saw the huge wheel'turning noisily. Six
months ago hehad seen Claude. and how
often in the meantime-he had pictured their
meeting! He was so near that he could
distinguish a dusty. white figure in the door-
way—the mille'r—the miller, scraping and
bowing to a retreating figure who‘passed
Chelot just as he reached the chestnut-tree,—
along, lank personage, with a yellow face, in
the ominous elegance of a broadcloth suit,
baggy at the knees and too short at the wrists,
and with a huge bouquet at his breast. Che-
. lot glanced after him, with an instinctive de-
sire to punch his shiny tall but a foot or two
deeper over his faoeand dusty hair; then he
turned toward the house. The miller had
disappeared, and he stood alone under the -
chestnut—tree,with the exteption of a donkey
hitched to a cartywho was examining his legs
with profound attention. 80 this was com-
ing back to Plaileroi and Claude!
He sat down disconsolately on the bench
beneath the chestnut-tree,where they so often
had sat together, he and Claude, just as a
smothered laugh caught his ear, and the next
instant a shower of chestnut bars and leaves
came raining down upon him. _ .
Ha sprang to his feet, and looking up be—
tween the dark branches, caught sight of a
laughing, rosy faCe peeping at him through
the clustering chestnut-leaves, and tantaliz-
ingly out of his reach.
“Claude l” .
There was a sparkle of small white teeth
and a funny nod of a brown head toward
the figure plodding down the road.‘ Then
with a warning “Chut 1” Claude glided and
scrambled out of her hiding-place, and neatly
fell into her lover’s outstretched arms.
For a moment she clung to him, and the
laughter in her dark eyes gave way tor-some-'
thing Wonderfully gentle and loving. - p
“I have you again, beloved," she whisper-'
ed, hiding her rough head‘ against.“his'
breast; then she tore herself away with a
little laugh, and stood before him, shading.
her face with the bunch of poppies. “Are
you sure that you love me' i” -
With one quick motion he was at her side,
clasping her to his heart, poppies and all.

conspicuous disguise, in his first fatal step
to an existence that should unfold to him the
mysteries of “life.”
In a querulous endeavor to discover wheth-
er the train destined to bear him to Calais-—
'and to London and liberty—ever meant to
start, he tangled himself in t& meshes of
wheelbarrows, porters, and travelers. He
was jostled about and hurried along, till at
last he stood aching, and battered behind
three broad-shouldered . fellows, in whose
shadow he hid himself, while he hugged to
his breast a small newspaper parcel, his only
luggage. . , 7
He breathed a little more freely, and
looked with silent envy at the broad backs
before him. They were only common sol.»
diers, these three—poor devils, with the
prospect of a third-class ride, and a meal of
dry bread out of the forage-bag each carried
slung across his shoulder. " fl "
A whistle and‘a shriek from the engine.‘
“Calais! Calaisl” and then a. .skurry and

“Twas ! Duval, the old Englishman has

Gone ? Poor M. Bertholet had made a dash
for a coupe, when a couple of arms were
thrown about his neck and an affectionate
kiss resounded on each of his cheeks.

lute, and rejoined his two friends.
“Ab, Chelot, the day is out of joint with
you i" the man called Duval cried, as the
other came up, while ’he playfully kicked at
an unsightly newspaper parcel, that had been
rolled and pushed along till it touched his
hobnailed boots. The‘ package was rather
small, round, and dusty, and did not invite
inspection.
Chelot said' nothing; but a look of pain
came into his honest brown eyes, as he me-
chanically watched the other two playing at
foot-ball with the accidental plaything.
As for M. Auguste, he stood for a moment
perfectly helpless, grasping his inoffensive,
retreating chin with one'haud,while he won-
dered angrily how everybody could be so
calm ; wondered what those three men would
do if they had lost five hundred thousand
francs—those three men who, he hoped,
would get shot some day for the way they
grinned as he pushed rudely 'past them.
In a coupe of the train tearing Calaisward "
at the rate of fifty miles an hour,a mysterious
old gentleman was rolling over the seats a'nd
beating his bald head against the plush cush-
ions.
“Lost! lostl lost l” he screamed over and
over again. “Five hundred thousand francs
in a newspaper parcel! Guard, for heaven’s
sake,'stop the train 1” '
"Five hundred thousand francs in a news-
paper! Monsieur is a little wild," the guard
said, politely, looking in. “But if it will
quiet Monsieur, he shall be listened to at Ca-
lais. If I find it,” he said,with a benevolent
‘grin, “I’ll take care of it. But, alter Mon-
sieur, be prevailed upon to be quiet."
But nothing would persuade M. Bertholet
to be quiet. He tried to leap out of the win-
dow, and, being held back by force, flung
himself at full length on the floor.
Quick as lightning,the guard tied his hands
behind his back with a handy cord—the guard
was prepared to deal with mad passengers-—
and left him, after he had made aneat pile of
a yellow beard and wig, a tall white hat and
a pair of blue spectacles. _
As for M. Bertholet, he lay prone, and,
having struggled all strength out of himself,
he could only gasp : -

rm: nosr ELEGANT wannmc or run season.
Married, by the Rev._ Dr. Partridge, Feb-
ruary 18th,at the residence of the bride’s par-
ents, 316' Fifth avenue, Miss Dolly Fischer,‘
the only child of Mr. and Mrs. C. P. Fisches
and Mr. Frederick H. van Stade. This reads
as any other marriage notice, but if the term
was not already'worn thread-bare, we would
call it one of the most brilliant of this gayest,
of gay seasons. The bride is a lovely blonds
not only noted for her beauty but. for her
lovable character. She is very accomplished
has travelled far and wide, and is very
wealthy, being the grand-daughter of the
late Francis Skiddy, who is remembered as,
a millionaire who had always a helping hand
ready to stretch out to less ‘unfOrtunate.
The groom comes of one of the old German
families who have worth and wealth to sus-
tain them. The marriagewasthe most elegant
appointed and faultlessly carried out affair it
has ever been our good fortune to note, the
entire arrangements and planning being the
work of Mrs. Fischer. .
Tosay that the house was elaborately dec-
orated with flowers, simply means that the
rooms were converted into a tropical garden,
gorgeous .witln .frnitebearing . orange ' tree»; .
palms, banks of-roses,’ ropes of "influx, and
trailing vines, and the most beautiful of de-
signs. The drawing—room bay windows
were draped with green, and the one at the
extreme end of the room was most tastefully
made into a bower with a canopy top, under
which the pair were married, standing upon
a pure white for rug.“ The house being
double has a hall, square and large, with.
broad stairway on one side. The music was
placed on the third floor, and when over 200
friends who were invited to the ceremony
had arrived, the strains' of the wedding
march, sounded through the spacious man-
sion, and the procession moved down the
long flower decked stairs. First ten young
ladies and ten gentlemen came carrying two
broad white satin ribbons, each holding the
ribbon by a 'blue bow as they walked from
the stairs through the broad hall and long
parlor, they separated in two lines, thus
forming a long aisle through which the
bridal party passed. There were two brides-
maids and no ,best man. Two ushers, the
white-robed minister, the grooms parents,
his grandmother and his sister, Mr. Fischer’s
brother and Miss Benson,'a friend of the
family, four more ushers, and.then the groom
and Mrs. Fischer and the bride with her.
father, followed by four ushers, made up
the party. After the family were arranged
the twenty attendants formed in a circle
about the party. This novel feature was so
new and so beautiful that the effect was at
once striking without being at all strained
and obviated the usual difiiculty of- properly
entering the room at house weddings. The
toilets were in keeping with the splendor of'
the house and the wedding appointments.
The grooms mother were a cream satin
embroidered in pearl, with point lace sleeves,
diamonds ornaments. Mrs. Fischer, wears
"mourning for her father, Mr. Skiddy, and
was dressed in a heavy black satin, made
plain, and no ornaments but. a diamond pin,
earrings and a long diamondspray in- her
hair, black kid gloves and a bunch of viOlets.
‘The grandmother was attired _in a rich robe
of black velvet. The groom’s-sister wore an
.imported cream satin costume with high and
diamonds. The ten attendants 'were all in
white: but those at either end,-oneof them
being in blue and the other in plush. ' The
fairbride .wore a costume which was regal
in . costliness _ and being of rich ,ivory.
satin, made‘with a long plaingrain'draped
with the finest filmy point" lace overdress.
The, neck and sleeves were of the same ele-
gant lace and the. veil which was large and
long, was of point lace, and fastened on with
large diamond stars, so set as to quiver. ,
Solitaire earrings, bracelets with a, row of
large diamonds around them, a string of
whole pearls with a diamond cross attached,
were the only‘ ornaments, no flowers being
worn but a hand ‘bouquetpf white lilacs. A
point lace fan, matched the veil, having been
ordered by the groom. 'the stars were the
.gift of a friend, but the entire set with the
'addition of a large ring and :a pin were from
the bride’smotlier,and are valued at $20,000.
They belonged to Mrs. Francis Skiddy the
grandmother of the bride: ,The point veil
also was the mother’s. The entire toilet

presents were sent. Eighteen-cable congrat-

sons accepted the invitations, and and
the provision for their entertainment was of
highest style of the caterer’s art, which here
in New York is reallya high in. ‘ Somehow
grooms never fare very well said gifts. ‘Mr.
Van Stadt received a handsome watch and

these days to see two such young persons
marry that it is pleasant to know they set

stances, with $30,000 in'bonds, double this
in diamonds and other jewels, and $25,000 in
silver, china and other valuables. The groom
is only 23, and the bride just, out of her
teens, and not only one of, the loveliest
young ladies in NeweYork, but educated, re.
fined, and the: brightest jewel'a’rnong so many

The Tomb of Washington.
Mount Vernon 00:. N .‘Y. Times.
It is a two hours’ sail fromWashington to
Mount Vernon.. As the steamer approaches
the place the bell tolls, in obedience to ‘a cus-
tom begun by Commodore Gerdon, who or-
on the 24th of August,1814. The first thing .
one touches on the estate is of historical in-
terest—the old dock from which Washing-
ton used to launch his' barges and ship the
flour known as the “Mount Vernon” brand,
which was the best in colonial days. It is
with .a reverential feeling that Americans
the grounds, and at the bend of which,
about two hundred . yards from the dock, is
the tomb. Parties uncover their heads as
number of years, and though the cold wind
plays through the hair in this season, patri-
otic feelings are uppermost in such a place.
The tomb structure is about 12 feet high. It
was in accordance with a clause in Washing-
ton’s will that his executors had his tomb
“built of brick," and platnly, and it stands
as a monument to his unostentatious and
prudent nature. There are a wide archway
and double iron gates at the entrance to the
tomb, and overhead is a plain slab on which
is this inscription : “Within this inclosure
rest the remains of Gen. General ,Washing-
too.” The tomb has been twice ~violated,
once, in‘ 1831, livhen a man broke into the
old tomb, before the present one was built,
and stole a skull, which he claimed was that
of Washington, but which was found to be
that of a relative. It was on account of a
feeling of insecurity that the present tomb
was erected, but even this has been descra-
ted. Some wanton person, perhaps in search
of relics, climbed over. the iron‘ gateway
during the civil war and broae one of the
talons from the eagle in the coat of arms 0n
Washington’s sarcophagus. The body was;
placed in this sarcophagus on October 7,.
closed and the key thrown into the Potomac.
Congress__ more than once has tried to have
his remains transferred to a rerceptacle be-
neath the crypt of the Capitol, which was
designed for that purpose, but the family
wei'e persistent in their refusal, as, such a
public resting place, they said, would not
accord with Washington’s well-known reti-
cence and modesty. The soldiers bf both
armies often met before this tomb, it is=said,
during lhelaie war, but theylalways obeyed
the servants request to leave their arms at
the pdrter’s lodge. The old tomb ,Was very
much simpler than the present one, and is
seen further along the path and near the-
house. It commanded a view of theriver,
and was not stall -a secluded spot. This is
the request in his~will'to have the family
vault ,removgd, which request was not
obeyed for twenty-eight years, and then only
when prompted by the first desecration,-
which we have mentioned. It was bbfo‘re
this tomb that Layfaette was presented with
.a gold ring containing/some of Washington’s
hair by Mr. Curtis in 1824, whither he had.
come to pay a tribute of respect to thé m'a'n
he loved’and by'whom he was loved.‘jLa—
fayette had a chamber in the old'W‘ashi _.
ton homestead, and on'ca'ch of his visits;
he was not actively engaged,he made his
stopping place here. 5 ,
