MARTHA WASHINGTON
NOT AN EDUCATED WOMAN IN THE
SENSE OF TO'DAY.
She Was a Poor Speller and Her Gram-
m... Would Hardly Pass Muster-Indis-
crimlnate Use of‘ Capital Letters in
Writing—The Home Sphere.
Martha Washington was not an educated
woman in the sense of today. She did not
spell well, and her grammar would hardly
stand the parsing of the public schools.
Copies of two of her letters to her sister, Mrs.
Bassett, lie before me. They were written at
about the beginning of the revolution. She
begins one thus: “I have wrote to you several
times, in hopes it would put you .in mind of
me, but I find it has not had its intended ef-
fect.” Further on she says: “The rivers has
never been frozen hard enough to walk upon
the ice since I came here." Among the mis-
spelt words of the letter are: “Navey” for
navy, “loded” for loaded, “coles” for coals,
“distant" for destined, “cicre” for clear,
“hears” for here, “plesed” for pleased and
“greatful” for grateful. Company she spells
“companey,” and persuaded “perswaded.”
In the fac-simile of a letter that she wrote
to William B. Reed, of New York, in 1777, I
see that she knew no other punctuation mark
than the dash, that the apostrophe was a
stringer to her, and that her writing, though
not illegible, was far from beautiful or ele-
gant. The use of the capital was as embar-
raming to her as the use of the punctuation .
point, and her letters look as though thecap-
itals had been shaken out of a mammoth pep—
per box and permitted to lie wherever they
fell. ’
own or rma humans.
One of her letters, commencing “My dear
Fanny,” was lately communicated by the
Rev. H. E. Hayden, of Pennsylvania, to The
Magazine of American History. It is dated
“Mount Vernon, Aug. 7, 1784." and the ver-
batim spelling and punctuation are preserved
in the publication. Some of the sentence
begin with capitals and some without. She
writes of “My little nelly,” referring prob-
ably to Nellie Curtis, and in the same line
says that “Tut is the same claver (clever) boy
you left him;” thus capitalizing the boy‘s
name, while she gives no capital to that of
the girl. She writes Fanny that “The Gen-
eral had received a letter from her papa,”
dated at “richmond,” begins thenextsentence
with a small letter, and in it capitalizes
“Brothers,” “Family,” and “General.”
A person uses his best grammar while writ-
ing, and he who makes mistakes here make
more in conversation Martha Washington
may have been well educated in the school of
society and in that of life. She was certainly
not so in books or literature. There was no
library to speak of at Mount Vernon, and
Gen. Washington was more of an out-of-door
man than a student. We have no record of
hiswifebeingareader, save thatshe reads.
chapter in- her Bible every morning after
breakfast. . She knew nothing about novels,
and the American monthly magazine, the‘
great family educator of the present, was not
yet born.
Martha Washington had, however, the best
advantages of the day. Her whole life was
spent among learned men and bright women,
but there is no record left that she was b‘rll~
liant in social conversation, and you will read
in vain for the reported hon mots of Martha
Washington. The truth seems to be that
Martha Washington thought woman’s sphere
was home, and that knitting and cooking
were more important than writing letters and
aknowledgeorFrmch. She issaid tohave
been a good busines woman, and to have
managed the large estate of her first husband
very ably before she handed her share of it
over to George Washington—Frank G. Car-

AMERICAN DRINKS IN ENGLAND.
Experience of the “American Bar" Pro-
prietor—The Mint Julep Story.
“When I opened the American bar in
Liverpool, such a thing as a cocktail, a sour,
a julep, a cobbler, a fizz, or even plain rye or
bourbon whiskey was something that had
been heard of but by few, and tasted by none,
among those who were to become my imme-
diate and regular customers. Brandy and
soda, ’alf and ’elf, gin, hot toddy, porter,
and ale, were the favorite and only tipples, as
they had been for untold generations. My
bar, backed by a true New York display of
glittering glassware, plate glass mirrors, and
bottles of many colored liquids, with white
coated handsome young men readyte serve
the customers, in place of the traditional bar-
maid, wasfiocked to self ithadbeenamu-
scum of rare curiodtiea
“But my American drinle went begging.’
The old time English beverages were still
good enough for the loyal Britons, and when
the persistent tips they tendered the ban-
tenders were aspersistently refused, it seemed
to appear to them as if the very bulwarks of
the nation were being assailed, and that the
throne itself was tottering. But by degrees,
as exigencies occurred which enabled me to
demonstrate to customers the efiicacy of
Yankee decoctions in cases of expanded head,
stomachic derangement superinduced by a too
much prolonged dalliance with merciles
English tipples, and other physical and mental
disturbances which, I am frank to say, would
ever have remained unknown had there never
been either American orother bar, they came
to recognise thefactthat if there could be
any excuse for patronizing a bar at all, ‘it
could only be found inpatronizing one where
Yankee beverages could be had. One prac-
tical customer, in referring to the coming
around of the British public to this stage,
said that it was as if they first depised, then
pitied, then embraced.
“I had one customer who developed a great
fondnes for the mint julep. No matter
whether the weather was hot or cold, he
wanted his mint julep, and he wanted it with
amazing frequency. He wasa man of con—
mquence, and I thought he would certainly
be able‘to appreciate an American joke as
well as an American drink, so one day I re-
lated to him that bold but respectable anec-
dote about the man who went to Virginia,
before the war, and became acquainted with
a hospitable resident. The resident had plenty
of good material for conviviality, and the
visitor, having a recipe for the concocting of
mint julep, thought that his host was wast-
ing both stuff and opportunity in being
ignorant of the existence of the julep. The 7
visitor found that" there was a fine' bed of -
minton the plantation, and he led his host,
accompanied by a-jug and other ingredients,
to the spot. There he brewed the juleip and
captured the 'pla'n'ter’s heart. The 'visitor
taught the Virginian how to distil this here-
tofore to him unknown nectar, and in time
took his departure. A year later he had
busines again in Virginia, and he lost no
time in huntil: up his old best. He wentto
the plantation. His knock being answered
by an old negro, he asked the servant for his
master.
“‘01 mar-S’s dead, sah,’ replied the old
negro. ‘Dah was white man come ’long
ll’yah 'bout a yea’ ’9 an’ teach 01’ mars' to
drink grass in he lickah, an‘ 01’ mars’ done
gwnn drink hisse’f to defi', sah.’
“I told that to my julep loving customer,
expecting to be rewarded with an appre-
ciative laugh. He was imbibing one of his
leverages at the time. Hefq'uit drinking,
looked solemn, cast armetf'ul look at the
mint in his glass, and went out and never
came back. He had taken the story literally,
and drew a moral from it at once.”—New
York Sun.
Painting Still Life.
1 used to know a Frenchman who boasted
that he could make money go further than
any one alive. He was a dexterous painter
of still life, and one of his favorite subjects
was a. sack of guineas and a package of bank
notes lying on a desk with an account book
and the trappings of a cashier’s desk. He
painted this picture over and over again, and
got high prices for every replica he made.
The original money had been loaned to him
by the picture dealer for whom he had
pointed the first picture. Now he has enough
of his own to make studies from.
We have in New York a very similar
genius. He is also a painter of still life,_and
his microscopically accurate transcription of
a $5 greenback, suppom to be mucilaged to
all ebony panel, has been decided by the gov-
ernment to come under the head of a danger-
ous counterfeit. He makes his money go
farther than my Gallic friend, I fancy, for
he can sell one of his $5 bills for $500, while
it took some thousands of pounds of the
Frenchman’s manufacture to command as
much.
The painting of still life takes some curious
turns, by the way. Portraits of men and
beasts are common enough. Last week a
musical enthusiast brought to a painter of
my acquaintance a commission to punt him
:1 picture which should include a portrait of
his pct Stradivarius. The fine old fiddle is
now in progress of pictorial immortalization,
as the center of a composition which includes
a music book, a rose in a glass and a taukard
of Rhino wine. —-Alfred Trunible in New York

I became conscious that the weather was get-
ting more and more severe. It was taking
hold of me, and I knew when weatherbegan
to shrink me.up with all the stuff I had on it
might begoinghard with the crowd inside.‘
So I concluded to get down and look in.
Great Christopher, young man, every one of
them, except the woman, was asleep, and she
looked kind of drowsy. Well, you ought to
haveseenmohunt them outof that. I took
one at a time, and, as I whirled him around,
Illftsdhimoneundertheearand gave him
another one in the jay. Pretty soon I had
them all out in the snow, except the woman,
and she was practically stifi. What to do
with her I didn’t know. At first I tried to
coax her out, but she' ‘ahooed' me off. Then
I appealed to the men to help me get her out,
but they were still too sleepy and stupid.
Then I got mad and says: ‘You’ve got to
come out of that, my fine lady,‘ and I gave
her a yank that put a little life into her. By
that time the cowboy had kinder got his grip,
and he came at are intending to ,lick me. I
knew 'I would have to stand that sort of a
racket, because I had-been there before; but
hewasalittlestiiferthanlwas, and, after I
had given him afew more wipes across the
on, he became more reasonable. Just as he
was picking himself up, I told him why I was
bruising him, and that if he wanted to lick
anybody he would .have an elegant opportu-
nity by helping me wake up the other fel-
lows. That seemed to strike him favorably,
and we went at the men, occasionally giving
the woman a run.
“I fairly wore myself out on that soldier.
He was tough. The more I, hammered the
stupider he got, until 1 finally gave him one

this time the other men had been pretty well
aroused. and leaving, the soldier to the cow-

she well could be. I took hold of her and ran
her back and forth, half carrying her, until I
had waked up dothe same thing, so as to put
their blood in circulation. She seemed to im-
prove ‘a little under the treatment, and we
kept it up until I came to the conclusion that
she must be wide enough awake to go on for
a ways. Telling the men to keep a sharp
lookout on her, and to be careful themselves
how they let drowsiness get the better of
them, I got on the box and drove on.

“I had an idea that I was then somewhere
near Twenty-eight-mile station, and I knew
that I must reach that place before dark un-

folks. _ So I whipped up the horses—they
were stifl enough too, by this time—and we
got over considerable ground. The wind had
gone down some and it was easier to see the
country. I was having great faith in my
ability to reach the station when I heard the
cowboy yelling that I must stop. The soldier
had fallen asleep again. I got down and
yanked the fellow out, and as I did so the
cowboy asked under his breath if he could
polish him off. I told him to go in, and the
way that he did it was a caution. As I saw
him mauling the chap I came to the conclu-
sion that hemight have a grudge pgainst him,
and so I stopped him, after intimating as
much. The cowboy gasped for breath a few
times and said: ‘I never had nothing against
this particular soldier, but he’ll do, in the air
sence of any others.’ After that I attended
to the pounding myself, and I had plenty of
it, too. The cowboy got drowsy once, and I
took some satisfaction in thumping him
around. At one point on the road I had to
get them all out again, and the time I had

differ greatly among‘those who know him as
to his talents and disposition, but there can

of this from the fact that the heir of the Ar-

Empress and Other So-Called “Tame"
Pachyderms—All of them Amid of a
Rat or Mouse.
The worst elephant that ever walked in a
circus parade in the United States was Fore-
paugh’s well known big elephant Romeo. He
was as full of mhchief as a monkey, and as
dangerous as a dynamite mine. He was not
bad in spells, but always bad,aud his at-
tendants never knew when his big trunk was
goingtoswing at them with the force of a
battering ram. He considered every man
who traveled with the Forepaugh show his
born enemy.‘ He had a special dislike to
Adam Forepaugh, Sr., and never lost an op-
portunity to attempt the veteran showman’s
life. Whenever Mr. Forepsugh went near
him he would make a swipe at him with his
trunkorthrow at him the first mimile he
could find. When the show came to Phila-
towinterRomeohad to be chained .

fastenedtoapostarichoredabout ten feet in
theground. His hind legshad tobefastened
with chains stretched obliquely out and back
from him.
Whenever an especially violent fit of tem-
per seired Romeo it was to throw
him. and beat him into submission. The
throwing was accomplished by fastening
legs and drawing those members up under his
big body until he was compelled tolet him-
self down. Once down he was chained tight
and held, while a dooen men would surround.
him and thrash him with poles until he
hours to beat him into submission, and he was
often kept lying on the floor for three or four
days before he would give in.
The lastseveu years of his life Romeo de-.
pended on one eye to guide his elephantino:
my through life. The other was shot out by,
'his keeper, Stuart Craven, one day" in’ the full -
of 1865, on Ridge avenue, Philadelphia, after
Romeo had broken down the brick wall of
the animal house where Forepaugh was win-
ter-ing. Romeo took a notion to wander, and
after raising merry war among the other
animals, he batted down the brick wallet-the
house and ' started down the Ridge. ' Stuart
Craven followed him with a. shotgun and:
emptied about a pound of shot into Romeo’s
leather hide. One load took effect in one of
his eyes and blinded him, and at the same
time conquered the Lbigbrnte so that - he al-
lowed hinmelf to be driven back: to his
quarters.
A couple of years later Romeo killed an at-
tenth named “Canada Bill” at Hartboro,
Psi; -by throwing him‘ against a wall' and
then getting him in front of him and kneel-
ing upon him. “Elephant George,” an attend-
ant, was nearly drowned by him while riding
across'a river on the elephant’s neck. Romeo
dived three times in the attempt to drown
George, who was rescued 'just in time by the
. other people of the show, who went after him
in boats.
Romeo died in Chicago in 1872 from lock-
jaw, caused by the sores made on his ankles
by the shackles. His skeleton is now mount-
ed in the College of Surgeons and Physicians
in Chicago. ' In his time he killed three men
and destroyed $50,000 worth of property.
Mogul, an elephant that was owned by
John O’Brien, had a propensity to knock
down and kneel upon anybody who wasVnear
- him when he took one ofhis fits of badgtem-
per. He was a hard animal to conquer.-and
it frequently took several days’ thrashing.
He was killed in .1871 in an attempt to subdue
him. He was kept lying down for four days
on damp ground after a thrashing, and he
caught cold and died of pneumonia;
Chief and Queen, two elephants of the Bar-
num herd, were soldgo Mr. Forepaugh last
spring for $2,000. This low price was ac-
cepted for them on account of their danger-
ous temper. Queen had an unexplainable
hatred for James A. Bailey, of Bartram,
Bailey & Hutchinson, from the first time she
saw him, and the big brute never lost an op-
portunity to make an attempt upon his life.
At the opening of the season two years ago in
Madison Square garden, she nearly succeeded
in accomplishing her designs all Mr. Bailey.
Queen was in the procession coming down the
track, and Mr. Bailey was walking in the op-
posite direction. When Queen saw hiln com-
ing she edged out toward him, and as Mr.
Bailey got opposite her there was a post be-
hind him. Queen saw her opportunity and
swerved suddenly toward him, attempting to
catch him between her huge body and the
post and squeeze him todestb; but Bailey- saw
her purpose just in time and sprang aside. es-
caping by a hair’s breadth.
Picknninny, the little 'clown elephant,
known all over the country on account of his
funny peformances with the clown, Charlie
McCarthy, was performing at Slocum’s min-
strels several weeks ago, and kept his temper
well enough until the last night, when he took
auction to play the bad elephant. He started
by knocking his keepeijdnwn, and their picked
him up and threw him against the wall. The
man was nearly dead when McCarthy res-
cued him.

had ibjurediour men and a woman,-a'_nd had
done $4,000'worth of other damage. ‘
When Adam Forepaugh started in the
menagerie business he had but two elephants
with him. They were Romeo, the wickedest
in the country, and Annie, a black African
elephant, the trickiest on the road. It was
Annie’s delight to frighten farmers’ teams
into running away, and she was never happier
than when she could scare a cow out of seven
years’ milk. Whenever she saw a cow on the
road out went the big ears like sails, trunk
and tail were elevated, and with a soul har-
rowing serics of trumpetings Annie would
make at the cow, and in about five seconds
that cow, surrounded by a cloud of dust,
would disappear over the horizon.

It is bad enough to brand cattle. We recom-
men, sailors in particular, engage in for pure
delight. I don’t see why it should not prove
a good means of punishment. The army

want to tattoo every man who enlists. Then,
if he deserts. he is already branded, or in-
delibly marked, and can be identified, and if
he goes swimming can be detected. The

his mouth always so beautiful and pleasant

of all.

A COAT OF ARMS.
THE EASE WITH lecH ANY PAR-
vsnu cm sscuas ONE.
now the Duke of Sutherland Was As-
tonished—nis Coat of Arms Emblaaoned
on an American Cltlsen'e Carriage.
Hunting a Pedigree.
Up to within a few days ago there was an
Englishman ierew York city who apokohis
native tongue in all its formidable atrocity.
H0 is the Duke of Sutherland who has “done
the States" many times, but he appeared for
the first time during this last visit in private
ball and drawing room. Hitherto he had
preserved his insular prejudice against the
new rich Americans. But last spring, pt the
inaugural ceremonia of the Panama canal,
he made the acquaintance of our former min-
ister to France, Mr. Bigelow, who was at
Colon lit the time as the representative of the
New York chamber of commerce. This ae-
qnaintance inan him to break through his
former habit, and in his last stay in New
York he consented toabe present .at the wed.
ding of Mr. Bigelow's youngest daughter and
Charles Stuart Dodge at” St. George's church
in Stuyvesant square. - It was his former re
fuss] to join in ally-society festivities that led
him to imagine that the costume which had
served him as]; similar occasion in the west,
when a cowboy espoused a ranchers, would
do here likewise, and he appeared at the Bigo-
low wedding attired in a' deer stalking hat,
tweed suit, and heavy hunting brOgans.
This was forgiven a duke, however, on the
more of eccentricity, and, the ice onoebroken,
distinguished social honors poured in upon
him. The last nrld‘climacterio exhibition of
the ducal coronet was witnued'at- thefreeep-
tion of Mrs. Hicks-Lord, when the'wild walls
of the pibroch, rpetuated by Mrs. lord‘s
private, piper, hailed his grace of Sutherland
ashoentered. It was thenheuttsredagood
old fashioned English word, beginning and
ending with the letter d, followed by the
name which we are forbidden by the bible
apply to our brother. .
{2:33; ; run near srnaw.
“Thisbeats my time," aid the Duke of
Sutherland. “I shall take to the yacht to-
morrow. Why, this afternoon as I poled a
shOp ‘bn Fifth avenue what should I see
standing in front but my own carriage—yes,
by god t I saw a carriage with my own coro-
' net upon it."
The duke ought to have demanded an ex-
planation of the owner; but as he did not we
will furnish him with one. The coat of arms
emblazoned on tho family‘carriage of a sim-
ple American citizen is a harmlel exhibition
of» the proprietor-’5 vanity and the carriage-
maker’s complnisancc. The citizen, however,
is not wholly to blame. Fortune had smiled
upon him, and he had a carriage built. Noth-
ing to condemn in that. He, like ‘a'senslble
man, had intended I'll have his cipher on the
panels, but the “women folks” were more
ambitious, and never rested until in amo-
ment of weakness he consented to emblazon
the doors of his coach with a coat of arms.
Now the question arises: How to get one.
along for a good many years without feeling
any special need for armorial bearings. This
contentment or neglect seems to have closed
the way now to .coronets, and, besides, he
lives in the United States, where it‘is consid-
ered an honor not to be crowned. If he lived
in Brazil he would endow a hospital, and the
emperor would reward him with knightwa
and a’ coat of arms of great complexity. If
he lived in England he could get a pedigree
and a coat of arms from the. College of Her-
alds without doing anything so expensive as
found a hospital. Living in neither offtheso
convenient countries, but in the United
States, if he must have armorial bearings
there is just one thing to bedone--he must
steal them.
HUNTING a PEDIGREE.
When he has made up his mind to it, this is
as easyas stealing lead pipe fromajunk
shop. He'goeoto the carriage manufacturer
and takes him into his confidence. That
worthy is not surprised—blew you, no! This
isn’t the first nor the thousand and first time
he has acted for the college of heraldry. He
“Burke‘s Peerage and Baronetage” and
“Burke’s General Armory”—Burke is the in-
ball and their clients—he brings out his
library, and in the seclusion of the carriage
builder’s private office the respectable citizen
endeavors to recollect something about the
ancestors of his family. Any little incident
is enough, and it is astonishing how obedient
memory becomes on such occcsions.
“Now there’s a. coat of arms that I’m
familiar with,” says the customer, “and I
don’t know where I have seen it unlem it be—
longs to our branch of the family.” So our
branch of the family appear soon in their
true‘ colors. But many people are not so
easily satisfied. When they have started in
search of quarterings and. mottoes, they be-
come very particular. Say, for instance, the
rich Mr. Jones wantsacoat of arms. The
’ man opens his heraldic record and
reads: “Jones, Arthur Adolphus Patrick
Dennis; first lord of Castletoddy, Castletoddy,
County Mayo, Ireland. ‘
“No, no,” says the honorable Jones.
family are English by descent."
A few more pages of the peerage areturned
overnutil thename of Jones appears again,
this time 'as all English peer, prefixed by five
or sixe‘fchristian nameshand with an addi-
tional stimulus that the head of the English
house has been permitted to assume by royal
license? This nobleman has an estate in
Devon'shire,~ . i , .
“There we have it,” cries the conscientious
Jones. “I have heard that my grandfather
came from Devonshire.”
In much the same way, undoubtedly, the
American citizen went to work searching the
archives of. his family, with a result that
edified the Duke of Sutherland by the sight of
snugly lusting in the stables of Stafford house,
rolling along Fifth fiveuuo, emblazoned with
the arms of his famrly and likewise the sup
the realm, the whole surmounted with a ducal
coronet—Willis Steelie in Chicago Times.
