ALMOST A DBITIBH JAI'K TAIl.
The Wnshington family hel.l the tbcfiries uf iirimogcuiturc, which tho VirginiflU gentry bat bronpht Irom old England, nnd Cicorge as ayonnger son had his owu nay tu make iu the world.
At fonrleen Oeorgo wa-j sby and awkward, but big sudf-trong. I'eoplo began life onrly in tboao days, aud the Widow Wnfhiogton (.ug^iotted to Laurence, htr stcp."on nnd the head of the house, to see if his fnther-in-lttw, Colonel Fairfax, couldn't tuggest some¬ thing for George, ^h.
Fairfax and LanrHKO Washington agreed that the liritisb Navy wns the place for n strong la.l ivith the mili¬ tary instinct, unl to tho Uritieh Navy he migbt have gone, tin I liecoino tho enemy rather than Ihe deliverer of bis country,
Jnst about this time Tom Fairfax, Colonoi Fair.'nx's son, foil on U. M. H. Hariricb, during 11 light wilb a French tqnadroD commiinded by .M. do Bour- donayo ou tlio coii.st of India This was 1745, the venr of the "rising" in Scotland.
Tom Fnirfni wns only twenty-one, nnd the pet of the Wushingtou and Fairfax families, Mrs. Wnijbingtou tben began to think that tho navy was not qnite tbe place for ber George. H«r brother, Joseph Ball, also wrote to diHsuRdo her, naying that the boy would better lie apprenticed toa trade than rent befure thu mnst, whero ho migbt be "pressed" from ono ship to another, "cut nnd beatcu liko a negro," aud whero promotion could only lie obtniued by inSueuce.
it waa at this juncture that tbc nixih Lord Fairfax, whether crossed in love or tor whatever renson, camo to live in Virginia, nud, as a distant rolalivo of tbo fnmily, took an interest, in Georgo and stiived tho ipiestion of bis future by making tho boy his sur¬ veyor, friend and companion.
The plinsuro ihuwn by the nld cour¬ tier in tho yuung lad'f Kooiety bids cue think that George must havo had an old bead on young shculdets.
AH A COLONEL.
In 17C0 Cnptain Georgo Mercer wrote to a friend a description of tbc jiersonal appearance of "Colonoi (iecrge Waabiogtnu, lato Commander ol tho Virginia FrovineinI tr.mps," which ran as follows: "Ho nmy tin (le.Hciibeil aa beiug straight na an Jndian, measuring six loot two innljei >u his stockingF, nnd weighing ITS pounds.

pncity. At the siege of Yorktown yuung Cuftis contracted cnmp fever, and died of it, at the ngo of twenty- seven. Yonug OS ho was, ho left a widow, Eleanoi Calvert, a .lescendaut of Lord Baltimore; a son, George Waahington Parke Cnstis, n baby daughter, Nellie, wlio, with the boy, was odoptod by Washington, and two older deughtors, Eliza and Martha, who became the wives of Thomas Law and Thomas Peter. Four children by a father of tiventy-seveu wns not an extraordinary record in thoso days.
Wnbhiugtou's other stepchild died eveu younger than tho young Custis, whose (loath at Yorktown saddened the honr of victory. Shu wiis named Martha for her mother, and ^died yonng, in 177;!.
It thua happened that, nftor the war's cioso loft some opportunity for domestic life, Wnshington hnd about him no young people except bis adopt¬ ed granilcbildren, (i. W. P. and Nelly Custis. And the girl was easily bis fav.)rite.
Nelly Castis was a girl of singular grace and benuty, and would not have ueednd tbe high position of ber family to support ber position as a bollo in Virginio. Her faco was mobile and exprossivo rather tbau regular, and, alone among the Indies of her day, ber portraits show hur as a girl like tboso of today. Sho was thoroughly mo 1- ern in appearunco. Hho mnrried Law- renco Lewis, Washington's favorite nephew.
It may bo noted, as n rather odd fact, that Martha Cnstie, Mra. Wash¬ ington's grnuddaughtor, named ber tbreo '.laughters Cnhicibia, Americi and Britannia Wollin'jton.

Says tbe London Sketch: "Tbo War of 1812, about which books are written in America, ba^ scarcely got fi*a lines detotc 1 to it in any une of the pcpnlsr'E'nglisU histories."

During tbe wars no less tban 10,871 of tham wero destroyed or captured by tbo enemy. The Hanthcrn HIates Maguzino, of Baltimore, pablitbes reports from over 600 oorrespoudents in all parts of the Sonth as to tbe tinanoini condition of fanaera. "These reports show that the Southern farmers aa a class aro leas burdened witb debt than they hare been at any prerions timo since tbo war." "In a hnndred years" said Napo- 'leen the Great at St. Helena, "Europe will ba Cossack or Republican.'

Fairfax and LanrHKO Washington agreed that the liritisb Navy wns the place for n strong la.l ivith the mili¬ tary instinct, unl to tho Uritieh Navy he migbt have gone, tin I liecoino tho enemy rather than Ihe deliverer of bis country, Jnst about this time Tom Fairfax, Colonoi Fair.'nx's son, foil on U.

Four children by a father of tiventy-seveu wns not an extraordinary record in thoso days. Wnbhiugtou's other stepchild died eveu younger than tho young Custis, whose (loath at Yorktown saddened the honr of victory. Shu wiis named Martha for her mother, and ^died yonng, in 177;!.
