HOW WASHINGTON LOOKED.
Description ef the First President by an Engllshnnan Who Visited Him.
George Washlnprton's greatness of character Impressed all with whom he came In contact. This Is the universal testlmouy. It is hard to measure the Impression he made at this distance, yet many descriptions have been pre¬ served.
It Is hardly to be supi>o.sed thut au Englishman would overrate the Ameri¬ can general who had freed the colo¬ nies from the mother country, but one Briton bas left an eloquent testimonial of the impression Washington left on him. Ia the spring of 1794 Mr. Heury Wausey, au EnglLsh wool grower and ^manufacturer, visited Philadelphia and called In the early morning to puy hLs respectij to thu chief magistrate. Ue was politely recehed uud asked to stay to breakfast. Mr. Wansey hus told of, his impressions lu these words:
"I confess I was struck with awe and veneration wheu I recollected that I was now lu tbe presence of one of the greatest men upon earth—the great Washington—the uoble and wise bene¬ factor of the world, os MIrabeau styles him—the advocate of human nature— the friend of both worlds. Whether we view him aa a general in the fleld, vested with unlimited authority and power, at the head of a victorious army, or In the cabinet as the presi¬ dent of the United States, or as a pri¬ vate gentleman cultivating his own farm, he Is still the same great man, anxious only to discharge with pro¬ priety the duties of his relative situa¬ tion. His conduct has always been so uniformly manly, honorable. Just, pat¬ riotic and disinterested that his great¬ est enemiee cannot flx on any one trait of his character that can deserve the least censure.
"The president In his person is tall and thin, but erect; rather of an en¬ gaging than a dignified presence. He appears very thoughtful, is slow in de¬ livering himself, which occasions some to conclude him reserved, but It is rather. I apprehend, the effect of much thinking and reflection, for there is a great appearance to me of affability and accommodation. He waa at this time in his sixty-third year, being bom Feb. 11, 1732, O. 8., but be has very little appearance of age, having been all his lifetime so exceeding temperate. Uiere la a certain anxiety visible in his coontenance. wttk martn of ex- tmne aenBibntty."

A Lafayette Gift
To Washington
THE Marquis de T.<afayette was the commander of the French national guard at the time of tbe destruction of the Bastille, and bedlrected and assisted In razing It. The key fell Into his hands, aud a few months after the demolition of tbe prison be sent It by Thomas Paine, who was In London at the time, to General Washington. Lafayette at di¬ vers times presented gifts to Wash¬ ington, whom he adored. The corre¬ spondence betweeu the Frenchman and Washington in regard to the key ia most interesting.
Lafayette wrote: "Give me leave, my dear genenil. to present to you a pic¬ ture of thc Bastille as It looked a few days after 1 ordered its demolition, with the main key of the fortress ol despotism. It Is a tribute which I owe as a son to my adopted fntber, as un ald-de-camp to my general, as a mis¬ sionary of liberty to Its patriarch."
In reply Washington said: "I have received your affectionate letter of the 17th March, 1790. by one conveyance and the token of the victory gained by liberty over despotism by another, for both which testimonials of your friend¬ ship and regard I pray you to accejit my warmest thanks. In this great subject of triumph for the new world and for humanity In general It wlll •never be forgotten how conspicuous a part you bore nnd how much luster you reflected upon n country in which you made the flrst displays of your character."
The picture mentioned wns a pen¬ cil sketch and hangs beneath the glass box containing the key iu the old hall at Mount \'crnou. it attracts invari¬ ably the attention of the vLsltor to beautiful Mount Vernon, which is a storehouse and treasury of Washington relics.
In his "Kreiuh Itcvolution" Carlyle refers to the taking of the key across the .Vtlaiitii- to lie on Washington's hall table, and in giving the number killed nt the capture of the building felghty-three of the besiegers and one of the besieged) he adds, "The Bastille fortress, like the city of Jericho, was overturned by miraculous sound."

U'.ishlugton wa.s u keen and active hunter, aud riding behind tho hounds was a Virginian sport that met with his cordlai approval. A thor¬ ough sportsman was he besides, and It is related how one fine day he sprung from his borse into a muddy pool, uot caring for the barrel of u shotguu ut close quurlers, and wreaked vengeance on a poacher uud trespasser.
In reullty his life was thut of a typi cal Vlrglulau gentleman, save tbat few planters were as prosperous as be und had estates so complete. Nor did thc average Virglnlnn have such a house¬ ful of distinguished guests. In the bed. rooms of Mount Vernon slept at one time or another the pick of the "qual¬ ity" of the land. Patrick Ilenrj- and Light Horse Hurry Lee were frequent visitors there, and the Marquis de Lafayette and bis French companions made the old manor home ring with brilliancy. It Is recorded that Wash Ington waa a genial and generous host, his reserve and coldness so noticeable In publlc mellowing Into warmest hos¬ pitality when be waa at home undei) his own roof.
Even throughout his military career and his statesmanship he kept careful track of the affairs of bis plantation and In the midst of bis campaigns sent frecpient instructions to his man¬ ager and overseer. A story is told of bow, during the war, a party of British soldiers cnme to pillage. Ills overseer by wheedling, bribing and spreading a mopt munificent entertainment final¬ ly persuaded tbem to desist. On hear¬ ing this the commander In chief wrote shortly, sharply, "It were better you should have given tbem nothing at all and let them go on with their rapine than to feed them under my roof."
In the time of Washington Mount Vernon was a note<l tobacco planta¬ tion. The leaf that went out from there had no superior or even peer. During the comparatively few years of bis life that the general lived un¬ disturbed at his home be assumed the charge of even the most minute de¬ tails. He personally inspected every comer of bLs fields and barns and watched over his slaves, of whom tbere were several hundred at on« time, with the care of a father.
His accounts were kept with minute exactness. He had the divisions of his farms numbered, and the ex[)ensp of cultlvatl<Hi and the produce of each tot were noted, detailing exactly the proflt or loss of each particular crop. UntU after he went to Mount Vernon s|.the, dose of his second term he did
all this w-ork with his own bands, and be employed a secrKary only then t- answer hts public letters.
