Its History—lts proprietors—lts Relics
:Reminiscences, and Present Cotillion.
Utos2 On WanMosta& Intelllgencer.l
There has probably never been
. so
great a throng to the national shrine
ss at the present time. A fine steamer
runs regularly thither from Washing
-ton, and is largely patronized, while
multitudes aro daily going there by
land conveyances: Tho throng of sol
diers is especially numerous. The dis
tance from Washington is about 15
miles—about nine miles below Alex-
aria.
At the death of Gen. Washington, in
1799, the Mount Vernon estate com
prised several thousand acres of land
in a solid body, extending many mites
on the Potomaeriver. It was divided
into five farms, each cultivated by its
own negroes, with an overseer; and
whole under a general superintendent,
and all under the careful inspection of
the great chief himself. His own no
groes numbered 120; his wife's were
us many more: Upon the estate there
was a fine two story stone corn and
flour mill, the remnants of which are
still visible on Doguc Creek, up which
flat boats come alongside the mill. The
water to carry the mill was brought in
race some mile and a half from a
"tumbling dam" up Dogue Run. The
old mill house is still in good condition,
and is occupied by a colored family.
Near this mill was also his distillery.
There wore also a brick yard, a carpen
ter establishment, blacksmith shop—
the estate forming, in fact, a sort of
village. 10
Originally, the Mount Vernon estate
consisted of one half of 5,000 acres, as
signed to Washington's great grand
father, who, in conjunction with Nich
olas Spencer, patented it from Lord
Culpepper in 1670. In the division of
his estate the father of Washington
assigned this tract to his elder brother,
Lawrence, who erected the mansion
in 1743, naming it in honor of 'Admiral
Vernon, under whom he had served as
captain in a colonial regiment, in the
West Indies, in 1740. Lawrence died
in 1752, leaving a wife and one child,
a daughter ; and on the demise of this
daughter without issue, as soon hap-
Toned, the estate fell to George who
Thad been much an inmate of his family.
In 1759 Gen. Washington married
Mrs. Martha Custis, (nee Daubridge,)
then residing on her estate at the
White House with her, two children,
and after remaining at that place some
three months,took up their residence at
Mount Vernon. She brought in her
own right, more than $lOO,OOO. They
were of the same age-27 years—at
their marriage.
In this will, Washington divided the
,estate into three parts. The mansion,
with 4,000 acres, was left to his neph
.ew, Bushrod Washington, an Associate
.Justice of the United States Supreme
Court. At the death of Mrs. Wash
ington, in 1801, Judge Washington
became the proprietor of Mount Ver
non, and continued there till death, in
1829. Two of the old servants still on
the estate came there with him, be
longing to his wife Anne, daughter of
Col. Thos. Blackburn. Two of Gon.
Washington's servants' still survive,
also, residing som6 three miles from
Mount Vernon. Judge Washington
having no children, loft tho estate to
hie nephew, John A. Washington,
from whom the Ladies' Mount Vernon
Association purchased the 200 acres
' upon which are the mansion and the
tomb, for $200,000. Two thousand
acres were willed by Washington to
two other members of the Washington
family, and the residue, upwards of
2,000 acres, including the fine Wood
lawn estate, was given to Major Law
rence Lewis, a favorite nephew, whose
wife was the beautiful and cultivated

ington, and the adopted daughter of
General Washington. .
Major Lewis erected a splendid man
sion at Woodlawn in 1805, at a cost of
$24,000. Major Lewis, whose moth
er, Betty Washington, was the sister
of the great chief, died at Arlington in
1841, and his wife died in 1852.. The
remains of both, with those of a
daughter, the wife of Charles M. Col - I-

I rad, Filmore's War Secretary, being
deposited in the Mount Vernon vault.
Soon after the death of Major Lewis,
the Woodlawn estate was sold by his
only son, Lorenzo, to a colony of Qua
kers from New Jersey, who still retain
much of it, divided into farms. The
Woodlawn mansion, with a splendid
farm of five hundred acres surrounding
it, belongs to John Mason, Esq , who
came there from Now Hampshire in
1850. The mansion is of brick, with
slate roof and lofty pillars, fronting
the river on a commanding site, look%
ing down upon the whole Mount Ver—
non estate. Loren . zo Lewis died some
years ago in Clark county, and the
other daughter, the wife of a Mr. But
ler, is living in Mississippi.
John A. Washington wont to Fau
quier county with his family in 1860,
and purchased a farm known as Ware
land. His wife died suddenly soon
after, and it is well known that be fell,
as colonel of a rebel regiment, early in
1861, leaving a family of seven chil
dren, the youngest two being little
boys, and the only two male children
ever born at tho Mount Vernon mans
sion. There are some one thousand
acres of the Mount Vernon estate, be
13nging to these orphan children, lying
in proximity to the Mount Vernon
mansion. The Mount Vernon estate
was never under a finer state of culti.
vation than it is at the present time.
There are at present 2,000 government
mules grazing upon different farms in
that section.
The grounds immediately around
the mansion and tomb bear evidence
of care and taste. The approach to
the tomb and to the mansion from the
river is highly .picturesque and de.
lightful. Tho remains of Washington
were originally deposited in the old
vault which is pointed out to all visi
tors, and in a mahogany coffin lined
with lead. The vault was damp, and
the wood was three times renewed
before being placed in the receptacle
where they now repose. In 1831, the
new vault was erected and the remains
transferred. A Philadelphia marble
worker proposed to furnish a marble
sarcophagus, but on visiting the tomb
declined_ to do so if it was to be put into
so deep a vault, some dozen feet high,
with an arched . gateway and a gate
formed of iron rods. In this ante
chamber, on the right, is the sarco
phagus containing the remains of
Washington, and on the left another
precisely like it, containing the re
mains of Mrs. Washington; and it may
he added, that her remains have been
moved as often as those of the great
chieflThe sarcophagus is from a solid
block of pure white marble, and was
placed there in 1837. Within the vault
proper aro the bodies of many mem
bers of the family.. On either side, as
you come near the vault, stands a mar
ble obelisk, inscribed with names of
leading members of the Washington
family. The design upon Washington's
sarcophagus covers the most of the top
or lid, and consists of a shield, resting
on the national flag, and attached by
cords to a spear, embellished with tas
sels, forming a background to the
shield. The crest is an eagle, with
open wings, perching upon the supe
rior bar of the shield and clutching the
arrows and olive branch. Below the
armorial bearing is the name deeply
sculptured, of "Washington." On the
plain lid of the other sarcophagus are
the• words, in large letters, "Martha
Washington."
An addition preeteci at one and of
the mansion after Washington's time
has been torn away, and the structure
is now in the exact form as when left
by the Father of , his country. It is
well known that the mansion, as orig
inally erected and left by Lawrence
Washington, was much enlarged by
General Washington, a section being
added to each end, making it, as it now
stands, 96 feet in length, north and
south, with a portico, fronting the
river, extending from end to end. This
portico having decayed, has been re
placed by an exact copy of the old.
The mansion is two stories high, of
wood, finished in imitation of freestone,
and painted white. Fourteen small
windows, .with the old-fashioned di
minutive panes of glass, look out upon
beautiful sloping lawns, and down up
on the river level, There are six
rooms on the floor, with a spacious
hall running through the centre, from
east to west. The north room is the
large dining hall, in which is the ex-

the double banked harpsichord, shaped'
like a modern square piano—a wedding
present to his adopted daughter, Nelly
Castle ; the tripod which served Wash
ington in all his surveys, and the large
set of matched mahogany dining ta

end into an east and west parlor, in
one of which is an old, dilapidated,
large globe, and in the other an old
sofa. The key of the Bastile—a pres
ent from Lafayette—still hangs in the
glass case in the hall, and by itsside the
silhouette taken from life by a lady in
Philadelphia.
The library room, in the south end,
is occupied by Miss Tracy, the accom
plished and faithful agent of Mount
Vernon Association. A bust of Wash
ington, cast in plaster by Hendon, and
another of Lafayette, facing each other
high on the walls, are the only obser
vable relics. The bookcases, built into
the wall, with glass doors, fully occu
py one side of the large room. Over
this apartment, in a small bedroom,

stead, said to bo an exact copy of that
on which he died, is the only article
in the chamber. The family pictures
were nearly or quite all at Arlington,
and were taken to Richmond by Gen.
Lee. The celebrated pitcher portrait,
upon the back of which was inscribed
the beautiful eulogy, and left in the
mansion by an unknown hand, was
carried away by John A. Washington,
and is in the possession of that family.
The long, low row of brick quarters
still stand as they have for :30 or 40
years, since they were partially des

to be done, and the large amount of
funds at this time accumulating from
the throngs of visitors, who pay an en

for putting the national shrine and
preserving it in proper condition. The
scourge of the rebellion stayed its des

sacred acres. The tomb of Washing

The Sheriff and the Widow.
The Port Gibson Herald tells [;good
story, of which an Alabama Sheriff is
hero, as follows;
Court was in session, and amid the
multiplicity of business which crowded
upon him at term time, he stopped at
the door of a beautiful widow, on the
sunny side of thirty, who, by the way,
had often bestowed melting glances
upon the Sheriff aforesaid. Ho was
admitted, and soon the widow appear
ed ; the confusion and delight which 1
the arrival of her visitor occasioned,
sot off to greater advantage than usual
the captivating charms of the widow
M. Her cheek bore the beautiful blen
ded tints of apple blossom—her lips
resembled rose buds upon which the
morning dew yet lingered; her eyes
were like the quiver of Cupid, the
glances of love and tenderness with
which they were filled, resembling ar
rows that only wanted a fine beau
(pardon the pun) to do full execution.
After a few common place remarks—
" Madam," said the matter of fact
Sheriff, "I have an attachment for you."
A deeper blush than usual mantled
the cheek of the fair widow—with
downcast eyes, whose glances were
centered upon her beautiful feet, half
concealed by her flowing drapery, ,
gently patting the floor, she, with
equal candor, replied—
" Sir, the attachment is reciprocal."

said: "Proceed to court."
"Proceed to court !" replied the lady
with a merry laugh; then shaking her
beautiful head she added, "No, sir I

grunted my sex, and therefore greatly
prefer you should "proceed to court I"
"But,madam, the Justice is waiting."
"Lot him wait; I am not disposed
to hurry matters in such an unbecom

derstand that I prefer a minister to a
justice of the peace." •
"Madam," said be, rising froin his
chair with solemn dignity, "there is a

COURTING.—An exchange is opposed
to courting by correspondence. The
old fashioned style of "sitting up with
her" is the best,—of course it is. Then
there is the luxury of sparkling eyes
and rosy cheeks, the deliciousness of
sweet words, to say nothing of the
nectar of sweeter lips. Courting by
correspondence is a dull affair at best
and had better be abolished. Besides,
the girls should all understand that
matrimonial advertisements are usual
ly the shabby tricks of bad fellows,
who are not worth having if they
could be obtained, and their only object
is to trifle with the "weaker vessels."
Tho exchange is right, too, in its no•
tion that the girls generally ought to
be married. But that can't be done by
correspondence with strangers; 'in•
deed, the latter is a pretty sure solu
tion of the problem of "how not to do

Preserving Fruits in Bottles, Cans,
Jars, &c.
The following description of the way
of putting up fruit by the Oneida Com
munity, is copied from their organ,
The Circular :
The fruit is first suitably prepared
by hulling, assorting, or paring and
cutting, as the case demands; and, in
most instances, is immediately placed
in clean glass bottles, filling them full;
and when such . fruit as peaches, pears,
quinces, &c., are out in largo pieces, it
is best to take some pains to crowd the
fruit into the bottle—otherwise the
heating process will not leave the bet
tho properly filled with fruit.
Next prepare a syrup of melted, re•
fined or white sugar, and pour into
the battle by the following rule :—Al
low six ounces of sugar to one quart
of fruit or molt ten pounds of sugar in
ono gallon of water, and give one half
pint of the syrup thus produced to one
quart bottle of fruit. This rule is
adapted to the strawberry, cherry,
peach, and other similar fruits. Moro
acid fruits, like the currant, require
a greater proportion of sugar. Sugar,
for a few years, and especially the
present season, has been so high that
the temptation has been for those who
put up fruit for sale to make the pro
portion of sugar much less than tho
above rule requires, and some parties
have acknowledged that they had re
duced the quantity of sugar to three
ounces for one quart of fruit. Fruit
put up air tight will, of course keep
just as well without sugar as with it;
but it is thought much better to heat
the fruit in syrup, rather than to heat
it in water and apply sugar as it is used
for the tablo.
The filled bottles aro then placed in
a steaming box—best when made
4broughout of wood—the bottles rest
on a false bottom of narrow sluts, cov
ering the steam•pipe—cold water is
then lot into the box until the bottles
are two thirds covered; the fruit is
then gradually heated to the boiling
point by letting steam into the water
through a pipe leading from the engine
room.in another part of the building.
It requires from forty five to sixty
minutes to properly beat or cook most
kinds of fruits. They are commonly
allowed to boil five minutes, but in
some instances aro taken out of the
steam box before they reach ,the boil
;ng point.
Corks are made sufficiently flexible
by steaming them twenty minutes
with the fruit. They should be large
enough to fill the neck of the bottle
tightly and require some force to crowd
them in. Formerly ono cork, as pro.
cured of dealers, was made to stop
two bottles, but it is. now considered
better to use a whole cork for each
bottle.
Until the last year the Community
used for sealing wax a compound of
the following proportions : 1 Lb. of ro
sin, oz. of tallow, 3 oz. of beeswax;
but common boat pitch is now used,
and it is found to . answer quite as
well, and is much cheaper. It is pre
pared by first being boiled a few min
utes, and then heated every time a
batch is to be sealed.
Tho fruit being sufficiently heated,
the corks steamed, and the boat pitch
ready, the bottles are taken success.
ively to a table and quickly corked.—
The corks may be forced in by a blow
from a mallet, or bettor by a small
lever arrangement, or best by such a
machine as that used here, and in oth
er fruit establishments, which worked
by hand and foot, performs the opera
tion easily and rapidly. The portion
of the cork remaining above the bottle
is pared off with a sharp knife, and left
in a convex form.
Some fruit preservers, at this stage,
pack their fruit away, laying the bot
tles down on the side and trusting to
the cork, thus' kept moist, to exclude
the air, and sealing the bottles when
they fill orders for market, and when
they are less hurried ; but the Commu
nity have always sealed their fruit im
mediately after it is corked, which is
done by dipping the mouth of the bot
tle in sealing wax, as to cover the bulb.
Then transfer it to a basin of cold wa
ter, dipping to the same depth to cool
the wax. If the dipping is carried be
yond the mouth of the bottle, there is
danger of cracking the glass. Now
examine the sealed part to see if the
wax has formed blisters.. If there are
blisters, rub them away with the fin
ger, using a little tallow or oil to pre
vent sticking. It was formerly tho'ht
necessary to repeat the dipping opera
tion in wax and water, Eno it is now
only done when . the first dipping leaves.

operation ie nov.+' completed, and the

the light. In a few days after pack
ing away, inspect the bottles to see if
any show signs of fermentation, which
may be detected by a foamy appear
ance of the fruit. If this is observed
in any bottle, it denotes either a crack
in the glass, or that the sealing was
imperfect. The bottle should be open
ed and examined, the contents scalded
and the process of sealing repeated as
before. In some cases during the sea
son, a little vegetable mould may be
seen to gather on the surface of the
fruit in the bottles; but this is not to
be regarded, as it can be readily sepa
rated on opening the bottles, reaving
the mass of fruit untouched.
There is a variety of methods prat..
ticed in preserving tomatoes. Our
people scald and peel them, and . then
place them in a steam boiler, where
they are boiled from twenty minutes
to half an hour. The bottles are fill
ed directly from the boiler—having
been previously heated in the steam
box, so as to avoid the danger of burst
ng—and are then ready for sealing.
The steam boiler is worthy of sepa
rate mention. It is made of copper,
tinned on the inner surface and costs
about sixty dollars. It has a double
bottom for ono third of its height; and
steam passing through the two lower
surfaces, anything being placed in the
boiler will be speedily cooked in fifteen
minutes. Vegetables, puddings, &c.,
may thus bo prepared for the table in
a much shorter time than in ordinary
kettles placed over a common fire.
The Community have the present
season put up a few thousand cans of
sweet corn. It was formerly thought
difficult to preserve this article except
by drying. Here the _corn is boiled
fifteen minutes, then sealed in cans,
and then boiled five hours.
Tomatoes, squashes, beans and oth•
or vegetables are put up with a syrup
of any kind. Apples are put up, in
fresh apple juice, and are thought to
be mach better than when put in water
On account of the corroding effects
of the acid which most fruit contains,
it is better-to preserve them in glass
than in tin ; besides in this form they
aro more attractive and saleable. Of
glass fruit bottles a groat variety is
found in market—some of which de
serve commendation, and most which
avoid the necessity of corking and
sealing. They are however in gene
ral too expensive for those who put up
fruit in large quantities for sale. For
this reason, and because the Commu
nity deem the corking and sealing pro
cess, which I have attempted to de
scribe, the most sure plan yet devised,
a form of bottle invented by Mr. Thee. ,
her is much need.
WI AT EXTRAVAGANCE LEADS TO.-
Never was there made a more correct
observation than this:. Moderation is
the silken string that runs through the
pearly chain of all virtues; and
,the
string once broken they are scattered.
When people begin to make a show
which they cannot afford, either in
dress or at home—or any thing else—
virtue is threatened. We increase our
own unhappiness by multiplying our
wants. We attempt to dazzle our ae•
quaintances and to assert our equality
with those above us, and we sacrifice
our interests and peace of mind. The
eyes of other people are the eyes that
ruin us. Necessity soon compels the
spendthrift to retrench, or adopt dis
honorable means for procuring money.
It is easy to see what course ho would
be likely to pursue, and what conse
quences ho will soon incur.

Her influence is immense. The pitiWohr
of a wife, for good or evil; is irtesist&
hie. Home must be the seatof happi
ness, or it must be forever unknolial'.
A good wife is to a man wisdom and'
courage, and strength _and hope and
endurance. A bad - one is confiieroiry,•,
weakness, discomfiture, and despoil:
No condition is hopeless, when the
wife possesses, firmness, decision, en.
orgy, and economy. There is no out;
ward prosperity which can counteract'
indolence, folly and extravagance at'
home. No spirit can long resist bad,
domestic influence. Man is strong,:-
but his heart is not adamant. Man de;
lights in enterprise and action, but to:-
sustain him he needs a tranquil mind' ,
and a whole heart. He expends his .
whole moral force in the conflicts,or ,
the world; his feelings are often lacer:
ated to the utmost point of endurance'
by perpetual collisions, irritations and%
disappointments. To recover his equai,.
nimity and composure, home mast
to him a place of repose, peace, cheer,:
fulness, comfort, where his soul re--
news its strength, and again goes forth,
with fresh vigor, to encounter the labor:
and trouble of the world. •But, if at
home he finds no rest, and is there met"
with bad temper, sullenness or gloom,.
or is assailed by discontent, complainit
and reproaches, the heart breaks, the
spirits are crushed, hope forevet vank
ishes, and the man sinks into almost
total despair. A. lazy, ignorant, ex
travagant, restless, ill-natured wife, is
indeed a curse; while one possessed of
the opposite qualities is truly "the an,

Last year, upon the appearance
what was known as the 'Wade and Di:

supporter, who was very indignant
that such a document should have
been put forth just previous to thii
Presidential election, took occasion to
animadvert very severely upon the
course that prompted it. "It is not
worth fretting about," said, the Presi
