Unpublished   ^Traditions Frank G. Carpenter.
LEXANDRIA,V»., is full of unpiib- liabed trailitiuns of (ieorge Washiug¬ tou, Moiiut Ver- lion is onily uiue miles from Alex andria, and Wash ington got the most cf bis sappliee at tbe latter town, Ue eame there to vote, and uutil a few years ago the little offlce in which he tlid business thoro still stood, tt WAS at Alexandria that Washington met General Braddook, and witb him start¬ ed out on that diea^trons campaign. Hit last ravlew of troops were made from the attpa of an Alexandria hotel about a year bafore bis deatb.
From tbe traditions of Alexandria, and from many other sources, Frank Q. Carpenter bus tried to make np iu bis mind's eye a picture of (ieorge Washington as he really was. Ho wns exceedingly tall, and when yonug quite slender. He bad euoimons hands aud feet. His boots were No. 13, aud his ordinary walking sboes No. 1:!!. No one can look at the silk stookiugn whiob hang up in Monnt Vernon aud not realize that it took a big leg to lill tbem.    He was a man of muscle.
During bis service in tbe army be weighed 200 poonds, and was so strong that be oould lift bis tent with oue bind, although it usually required the ¦trength of two men to place it on the |amp wagou, writes Mr. Carpenter. I ean, ot course, when it was folded p and wrapped around tUepulea. Washington could hold a musket with one hand and fire it. He was a good shot and a guod swordsman. The pic- lures of the father of our couutry make yon thiuk that Washington wa.i a brnnette. His face is dark and eiim- bre. Xhe trnth ia, he bad a skiu liko an Irish baby, aud hia hair was almost red. He bad a bruad chest, but uot a full one.
His voice wss not slrou);, and dur ing hit last days he had a hacking eongh. Hia eyet were coUl gray, aud it is said that he seldom siuiled, al¬ though tbere is reason to believe tbat he had eousidartble humor about bim. His nose was prominent. He was ]iar- lionlar aa to his appearance aud fas¬ tidious in dress. He w.irn plain clothes and alntya kept bimaeif well shaven, acting ta bia onu barber.
During the latter part of bis life be wore false teeth. Hia tretli did unl fit well aud pushed .mt bis lower lip Washington waa an eniiiieutly fair mau. Hebada<iuick temper, but aa a rule be kept it uuder control. Home- timet, however, it got the beat of biui. Tbit wat the caae uui-e iu .\lexaudria. Uoe of the cuuuty oftioera told Mr. Carpenter the etory aa they stood mi the aecond Hnor (if th.. inarkot-h.iuae in .Alexandria and looked down at tbe open oourt witbin it,whioh ia now tiUe.l witb hundreds of liootha whore the farmers bring tbeir products for sale on market <bys.

The acfouut liooka which are kept at Washiugtou iu tbe State Deparl¬ iiieiit show that WaPhiugtoii was very careful about kecpic); a record of bia pxpeiiditurca. He put dowu every- tliinp, aud among other items you seo bia losaea at carda aud nt the hnr.ie raL'e.i are froiiueut. The ciiriuua tiling about l^is acoouuta is thitt tliere vas almoat alwaya n delieieiu-y ot the end of the year which he could uot account fur. Thia made no dif- ft-reuee, however, with hia atartiiig the new year with a fresh arcount, for ono item nt thia time is an follows: "Uy cash, eiluer lost, stoii-u or uet;- lectcd to cliargc, ll-l pounds, H shil¬ lings and 11 peuee." In other words, he was short thai year over .^JTOD.
Through his lettera uuw owned by the Uoverumeut you ace here ami there correapoudeuc.) which shows that he was very hard up at tiuies. lu ITH.'i ho wrote that he could get uo wheat on credit, ami that he had no cash to pay for it. Three years later be urges a man to paytheSlOOO which be owes him, and aaya ho has put ofl' tho sherifl" threo tiiui's aheody, aud that he needs thia moupy to pay hia tuxes. He was uot afraid to duu hia debtors, nud he is said to have been oue Ilf the shrewdest dealers among the pliiulers ot hia time.
From the above it will bo seeu that Washington had hy uo lueaus nn easy life. Ho had many troubles outside of thoso couuected with his estate, Ue had aa mauy enemies as our lead- iug politicians have to-day nud ho was accused of all kinds of crimes nud misdemeauora.

Wheu his birthday was first cele¬ brated, iu 17K3, there was a great deal of criticism ou the part of bis enemies, aud the Aiiiorn, one of the opposition newspapers ot Philadelphia, pub¬ lished loug poems describing him as the worst of men. Tho House of Tlepreaeutatives -was asked to adjourn for balf au Iiour on February '22, ITIlii, to ptt,v its I'cspecla to Presideut Washington on tlio occasion of his birthday.

Washington uot prevented theiu. Hi pointed to Ilia black eye and told them that this waa a iieraoual matter, ami that he kuew how to haudle it. F.very- one thought that this meaut n duel.
"The next day Payne got a note froiii Washiugtou asking him to come to tho hotel. Ho expected a duel, but went. Woshiugton, however, was in an amicable mood. He felt that he bnd been iu the wrong, nnd said: 'Mr. Payne, I was wrouf^ yesterday, bnt it you have liad sullicieut satisfnctiou, let na be friends.' There was a de¬ canter of wine aud two glasses on the

Wheu Washiugtou delivered his farewell address he was reviled by the opposite jiarty.
Notwithstanding all thia, the charac¬ ter of Washington shiues brighter to¬ day than ever before. With his little weaknesses, whicb hialoriaus havo doue their best to hide, he is, taking hiiu altogether, perhaps the greatest American our cmiiitry lias ever pro¬ duced, aud the false chiirgea a:.?aiiist hiiu   were   but  drops uf uioialure  ou
