THE VILLAGE
Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village blacksmith stands,
And in a brimming basin he
Would wash his brawny hands;
Hut something else than water clean
His sooty palm demands.
Week in, week out, from morn till
night.
He might have rubbed, I trow,
Had I not given him a cake
Of Ivory Soap, when, lo !
Full soon those honest hands of his
Were spotless as the snow.

and Other Memorials Tlio Military Pa
rade, Industrial Show, Banquet and
Dance.
Tho Washington centennial ,is a thing
of the past. For threo days tho city of
New York was in n continuous blazo of
glory nnd patriotism, and tho general
verdict Is that nil went well. Tho pa
raders havo returned to their homes, tlio
smokoof tho illuminations hasclenrod
away, tho decorations aro mostly remov
ed, patriotism lias been wonderfully re
vivified nnd now wo shall bavo no more
centennials that is, nono of such mo
mentous importanco till 1976. Out of
tho bewildering variety of three daj
display only a few points can be noted
in this brief report.
Asido from tho main centennial dis
play, many interesting exhibits preceded
and followed tho principal day, of which
tho most interesting was tho centennial
loan exhibition at tlio Metropolitan Opera
house, to which articles wens sent from
all sections of tlio United States. It
gave opportunity to tens of thousands of
visitors to seo the relics, which consisted
largely of busts, medallions, portraits,
specimens of thOBilvcrwaro of the period,
old letters, magazines and papers nnd n
great many other objects Illustrating tho
art of tho Eighteenth century and tho
daily life of the great men of the revolu
tionary era. Of courso portraits of
WMbington wero tho chief attraction
and some were hero exhibited to tho
public for tho first time.
'JUio Peales, tho Trumbulls, tho Stuart
and other portraits which havo mado the
features of Washington familiar to
Americans were, of course, numerous,
and by an arrangement according to the
ago at which they wero taken, the ob
server gained a very accurate view of
the changes. Though John Trumbull
painted him in military guiso nnd Gil
bert Stuart in statesman's attire, tho dif
ference is very slight, but in tho two
Peale portraits there is quite a variation,
especially in tho lines about tho mouth,
confirming tho statement that as the
great hero grew older his mouth as
sumed a rigid or compressed appearance.
Of tho several busts exhibited, that made
by Ceracchl at Philadelphia in 1705 is
the ono most familiar to tho iieople, being
used as tho standard on account of Its
WASHINGTON HELICS.
admitted close rcsomblauce. Tlio medal
lions and miniatures of Washington were
numerous, somo of them exhibiting
strange variations from tho accepted
portrait, due probably to tho fact tliat
miniatures wero not of tho best in those
days.
Tho real centennial began in tho fore
noon of Monday, April 29, with tho
grandest naval display over witnessed In
American waters. Some 200 large ves
sels, besides many yachts nnd tugs, took
part, tho steamers and such others as
could bo liandlf d with peifect safety first
passing up tho Brooklyn sido of East
river to tho upper end of tho city, then
turning and passing down tho New York
sido and around to tho Hudson, while
tho groat bridge, both shores and all tho
convenient housetops on both shores were
crowded by n million observers. All tho
fronts of both cities blazed in rod, white
and blue, and tho vast crowd of specta
tors often broko into enthusiastic ap
plause. Tho vessels in regular lino ex
tended over a distance of fourteen miles,
and tho admirable arrangement for tho
parado was largely tho design of Fleet
Captain D. M, Munger, In tho first
souadron man v of the vessels carried tho
' flags of the different states, as tho of
ficials and commissioners of thoso states
wero on board; but by direction of Ad
miral Porter, in general command, tho
yachts were moored in tlio harbor, as
there was not room for them to maneuver
in East river,
All this was merely Incidental to tho
formal reception of President Harrison
and thoso with him, which of courso
could not bo witnessed by tho general
public. Oovemor Hill, with tho com
missioners of tho sovcral states, tho gen
eral commlttco on the centennial, and
others, went out to meet tho president's
steamer on Its way from Elizabethport,
N. J. There tho president nnd party
took tho steamer prepared for him,
which moved into tho upper bay and
passed through tho fleets moored to ro
ceivo and saluto him.
Tho 6ceno was subllmo beyond the
power of language to describe. All tho
lovely expanse stretching south, south
east and southwest from tho Battery was
ablaze with brilliant colors, beautifully
softened und harmonized by the snowy
sails of the yachts and other sail vessels.
iAa :tho president's boat passed each
'siuadron" tho saluto was given by dip
ping colors and blowing the steam whis
tles for half a minute. When tho presi
dent bad landed the fleets formed, all the
larger vessels In single line and the small
er two abreast, mado the East river cir
cuit and then passing around tho south
end of' Manhattan Island and up tho
Hudson to' Fiftieth street, mado a llko

President Washington from Elizabeth

foot of Wall street tho president w as le
cclved by tho governor of tho state, tho
mayor of tho city and tho committeemen
named for tho purpose, and tho entiro
party, escorted by u military attachment,
went to tho Equitable building, wbero a ,
reception took place; but owing to the i
narrowness of tho streets there and the
necessity of room for tho military, com
paratively few of the people could wit
ness this part of tho proceedings. Tho
samo must bo said of the much discussed
centennial ball of that evening and
tho banquet of tho nrxt evening, but
after tho official recoption at tlio Equita
blo building, tho great public was ad
mitted, and for two hours passed in rapid
march before the president, but with no
shaking of hands. It was somo consola
tion to tho disappointed to know that
there was no handshaking at Washing
ton's reception in 1789, and that at least
one in fifty of those who wanted to get
near tho president succeeded in doing so.
All this timo the crowd in the city was
rapidly growing and tho enthusiasm
mounting upward. It is supposed that
half a million peoplo entered the city for
tho threo days, filling every hotel and
lodging house, and through all tho morn
ing hours of the threo days the rapidly
succeeding trains coming in on all tho
roads wero jammed with peoplo from n
circuit of n hundred miles or moro

among rural visitors to tho great city in

well reaped a rich hnrvest. Indeed, a

evation, nnd to visitors who did not mind
standing "on n strain" for a few hours it
was u lino point of viow. Despite all
theso contrivances, it must bo ndmittcd
that very many failed to get n view of

Depow, tho invocation "oT"8torrs, Ihe
benediction of Archbishop Corrlgan and
the short address of tho president, it is
not easy now to find any who wit
nessed them. Tlio streets contiguous to
tho placo would hold, perhaps, one in
fifty of tho sightseers then In tho city,
and tho peoplo preferred to take their
chance of seeing tho great procession
anyhow. Its routo was up Broadway to
Waverley place, through Waverloy place
to Fifth avenuo, and up that to Fifty
seventh street, tho grand reviewing
stand being on tho east side of Fifth
avenue, on Madison square.
Equally interesting to all the people,
and far more so to the student of history,
was the great industrial and civic parade
on Wednesday under command of Maj.
Gen. Daniel Butterfleld. This moved

pleasing delineations.
Tho purely emblematic representa
tions, however, wero but a small part of
tho general affair, for tlio peoplo had nn
opportunity to see much of tho reality
of America's history tho veteran gen
erals of tho lato war and tho relics of
former wars. Among many objects of
interesting historic association, not tho
least interesting Was tho old "Eutaw
flag," carried in tho military parado by
tho Washington light iilfantry, of
Charleston, S. C. This is tho fatuous
flag of Col. William Washington's regl
nient of cavalry, which, in tho troublous
times of tho Revolution, constituted u
part of the partisan corps of Marion.
It belongs to tho Washington light in
fantry, of Charleston, to which com
pany it was presented by Mis. Washing
ton in 1637, with the understanding that
it should o!way3 bo preserved iu mem
ory or her gallant husband.
Col. William Washington, or as ho was
called, "The Modern Marcellus," was tho
oldest son of Baily Washington, of Staf
ford county, Va., whero ho was lorn in
February, 1703. Ho was educated for tho
church, hut tho war led him into a pub
' Ho field. Entering thenrmy, hocngaged
iu tlio battle near Brooklyn, and after
wards distinguished himself nt Trenton
and Princeton. In 1779 ho joined the
' army under Lincoln iu South Carolina,
I and was actlvo in tho command of a
light corps in tho neighborhood of
Charleston. Sulisequently, ho became
i attached to the division of Gen. Morgan,
1 and bravely fought with that officer nt
tho Cowpcns. For his valor on that occa
sion congress presented htm with a medal,
Subsequently, ho fought with magnifi
cent courage and against heavy odds at
Guilford court house and Hobklrk's hill,
near Camden, S. O. It was at Eutaw,
however, that ho exhibited signal valor,
fighting until wounded, and with Ids
horso shot under him lie was forced to
surrender as a prisoner.
It was during tho battlo at Cowpcns
that Washington and Tarleton, the com
mander of the British cuvalry, had a per
sonal conflict. In tho eagerness of his
pursuit of that ofllcer, Washington had
got far ahead of his squadron, when
Tarleton mid two of his aids turned upon
him. An ofllcer on Turleton's right was
about to stiilo Washington when a ser
geant interposed, Tarleton, who was iu
tiio midst of the melee, (hen inatjy e

of Col. Washington as nn Illiterate fel
low who was hardly nblo to write his
name. " You ought to know better than
tliat," was tho reply, " for you bear on
your jierson proof that he knows how lo
make his mark."
On another occasion, Tarleton was
speaking sarcastically of Washington In
the presence of Mrs. Ashe, n sister of tho
lady nbovo named.- "I Rhould lx) liappy
to see Col. Washington," ho said with a
sneer. Mrs. Asho instantly replied, "If
you had looked IxShind you, Col. Tarle
ton, at tho battlo of Cowpcns, you would
ihavo enjoyed that pleasure." Stung wltlt
this keen wit, Tarleton placed his hand
on his sword, whereupon Gen. Leslie, of
,the British army, who was present, gal
lantly remarked, "Say what you please,
Mrs. Ashe, Col. Tarleton knows better
than to Insult a lady In my presence."
(The foregoing Incidents aro recorded In
Mrs. Ellet's"Womenof the Revolution.'")
During tho Itevplutionnry war Col.
'Washington met and becamo enamored
of Miss Jano Elliott, of Charleston, n rel
ative of that Gen. Stephen Elliott who
defended tho debris of Fort Sumptcr af
ter It was reduced to ruins. Inthelrlove
making sho proposed to furnish him a
flag for his cavalry regiment, and hav
ing no other material, sho improvised
.one by cuttingout from a rich drawing
room chair the crimson brocado adorn
ing the back of it, which had the merit
of being distinct in color as well as handy
In size. To Washington it was a gift
without price, and thereafter until tho
close of tho war, it waved in tho fore
front of every battlo in which his com
mand was engaged.
In 1827 Mrs. Washington presented her
husband's battlo flag to tho Washington
light infantry, of Charleston, and the
venerated relic is probably tho only one
tliat can bo traced to tho battlo fields of
tho American revolution in tlio custody
of a military corps. Having been In ex
istence for nearly h century, and showing
many signs of wear, it was quilted in
1874 upon a similar piece of crimson silk,
in order that it might bo preserved, if
liosslblo, for another hundred years. It
Is mounted In tho Roman style.
Surmounting tho stall is tho eagle
with wings plumed for flight; below, aro
cord nnd tassels of gold bullion. Tho
flag is displayed on tho 22d of February
(Washington's birthday), and' tho 28th
of Juno (tho anniversary of tho battlo
of Fort Moultrie on that dato iu 177G),
but It is otlierwiso not used except by
special orders.
It is not Invidious to givo a full account
of this ono relic of Revolutionary .times,
not only because it is interesting in itself,
but because it will servo as ft typo of
many interesting objects.
An American Oriittlioloslst.
America's greatest orntthologUt, John
James Audulwu, was tho son' of a French
naval officer, nnd was born on n Louisiana
plantation tin tho 4th of ,Mny, ITS0, and died
in the city of XowYorl: on Jan. 27, 18.11.
His fondness for birds led hlin to keep many
as pets, nnd to niako drawings which ex
hibited great talent. He was on this account
sent to France, where ho received instruc
tions from tho celebrated jointer, David.
Returning to America in 1797, he settled on
a farm on tho Schuylkill and gave his whole
attention to tho study of birdi Unfortun

designs wero destroyed by mice. In 1S10
Audubon removed to Kentucky, whero ho
met tho Scotch onilthologUt, Alexander
Wilson, with whom he mado his jou:-: ys
through the wilderness. Soon after he :cd
tho bayous of Florida and gathered wl jHU
riflo and pencil much valuable material.
Audubon returned to Philadelphia iu lb 1 1 to
arrange for tho publication of tho fruits ot
his researches, and in lS-M went to London
and Paris for tho samo purpose. Of tho 177
subscribers to his work on the "Birds of
America," at $1,000 iwr copy, ono-lialf was
taken in England and Franco. He was en
thusiastically received by tho leading scien
tists of both countries. A second edition of
this work lu seven volumes appeared iu 1S44.
