member. It consisted of ono hundred aud
elgty (licked men from different regiments.
It first csmmander was Caleb Glbbs, of
Rhoda Island.
A new organization of tho Guard occur
red at Morristown, New Jersey, at the close
of tho spring of 1777, when Its numbers
were Increased and a part of tho Guard
wero mounted cavalry. Washington re.
quired these men to be, In stature, not
more than five feet ton inches, nor lets
than flvo feet nlnu inches "sober, young,
active, nnd well-made." Gibbs was vet
their commander. Ho was succeeded at
near the closo of 1779, by inillara Colfax,
of Now Jersey, the grandfather of tho late
Vice-President Schuyler Colfax.
The uniform of the corps consisted of- a
blue coat with white facings, wblto waist
coat and breeches, black stockings and
black half-gaiters, and a cocked ha' with
blue and white plume. Their Use; was of
white silk, on which was painted ono of
tho Guard holding a horse, and in the act
of receiving a banner from the Genius of
Liberty, personified as a woman .leaning
upon the Union Shield, near which was the
American eajle. Upon a ribbon was the
motto of the corps Conquor or Die. This
dag (which I liAye seou and sketched) was
mado after tho national banner of the
United States the stars and stripes was
adopted in June, 1777.

Tho first effort was a failure ; at tho second
I had a brief interview -with Major Burnet,
and the last resulted in an Interesting con
versation with both of the veterans, on a
pleasant September afternoon. I rode first
to the residence of Major Burnet, whom I
bad seen on a hot evening In August. Ap
proaching his house by a jtreen lane,
shaded by ancient willows plantod by his
on n band, I greeted tho ol J patriot as he
sat In his arm-chair just inside tbe wide
open front dpor of tho spacious entrance

entertained for an hour by his remini
scences of tho old War for Independance.
lie gave me a graphic account of the great
meeting of officers at "The Temple," on
tbe camp-grouuds of the Continental
Army, not far from New'burgb, where, in
a dignified address, Washington gaye a
scathing rebuke to the unpatriotic and sedi
tious spirit manifested by tbe famous New
burgh Letters, In tho spring of 1783, which
were the occasion of tbe assemblage.
"U'aihlngton entersd the Tcmplo unat

Jfajor Burnet's father was a Scoiehman,
and his mother was a native of Irrlnnd.
Hit was a lieutenant of artllierv, nod was
lu charge of a battery at West Point at the
time of ilio discovery of Arnold's treachery.
Ho was uftcrward promoted lo major, and

askod:
"Wero you with Washington all tbo tlmo
ho was at New Windsors'"
"Certainly," he replied; "I was one of
tho Guard, and I believe I am tbe only one
living."
"When did vou Join tbo Ouard?" I
asked.
'Not long after tho battto of Monmouth
Court-house," he replied. "I joined tbo
army when I was elehtecn, and my first
battle was at Whlto Plains. I was after
ward with Qeaeral Wooslcr In tho aiTait at
Rldgeflold, in Connecticut, where ho was
killed. Then 1 joined the light infantry
under Lafayette, fought In tho battle at
Monmouth Court-house in New Jorsov on
that terrible hot Sunday In June, and was
chosen a member ot the Commander-in-Chiefs
guard a month afterward."
"Where did Washington reside at New
Windsor?" I Inquired.
In a plain, old-fasbioued Dutch farm
house built by tho father of Simeon Do
lt Ht," ho answered. "It was not large.
but comfortable In cold weather," he con
tinued, "and there General and Lady
rTaaliington lived and entertained com-
pauy from somo days beforo Christmas in
1 ,80 until the spring of 1781. That bouso
stood In tho village aud was pulled down
many years ago. Great officers of the
army with their wives wero entertained
there, and thero were lively times there on
the Christmas after Lady H'ashlngton
came."
How vycro the Guard housed that win
ter?" I asked.
"First in tonts and then In huts," ho re
plied. "The weather wat very mild. The
river did not freeze up at Ncwbnrgh until
after New Year. Tho bay was as clear of
Ico as In May. The water-guard boats
could go and como as they pleased. Why,
only a few days beforo Christmas, Wash
ington ordered Colonel Humphrey's to take
as many of tho water-guard as be might
think necessary and attempt to bring off
tbe Hessian General Knyphauscn from
Morris's House, on tbo upper part of York
Island, or General Clinton from the city.
He went with two wlmlebpats aud a bargo,
and twenty-fivo or thirty men, Including
officers, but did Dot succeed on account of
high winds."
You say General and Mrs. Washington
gavo ontortalnmcnts occasionally. Were
you over at headquarters at such times?"
I asked.
'Always, as special gnard al the dour of
tho house, or on other duty there. I shall
never forget the Christmas dinner at head
quarters, a few days after Lady Washing.
ton came."
"Why do you ca'.l hor Lady ITa-iblng-
ton?" I Inquired.
"Wo soldier's always called her so- She
was a real lady If there over was one," he
answered:
Well, as I was naylng, It was lady
Washington's first entertainment thero.
There was troubio at ttiat tlmo lu getting
poultry for headquarters, particular!; lur-
keya, for thecarup had lately been estab
lished, and the faruieis In. all directions
had bceu robbed of their fowls by the bad
soldiers. As I know all the farmers In tbe
neighborhood, I was sent to procure poul
try or this occasion. I bad traveled far
without success, when I called at the house
of General James Clinton, who was then
in tbe Northern Department. His wife
Molly, one of the best of women, had
locked up several turkeys for her family's
use, but gladly lot me have three of them
for tbe genenl, with which I returned' to
headquarters."
"Who were at that Christmas dluiifr?"
I Inquired.
"I cannot remember all," be said. Sit
ting lu silence for a while in summonlns
memory to tbo front, ho said:
"There wero two young French officers
from Rochambeau'a army at Newport;
Governor Gcoigo Clinton and his wife or
daughter; some gentleman and their wives
from the neighborhood; Jfblly Clinton
(who, you know, was the mother of Dc
Wltt Clinton), and tbo staff officers, two of
tbem with their wives. Colonel Hamilton,
Washington's secretary, was at Albany,
where he bad married General Schuyler's
daughter only ten days before, and did not
return until after the holidays. There
wero about twenty at, tbe table, which was
set In the biggest room In the house. Be
sides poultry, there was beef aud mutton.
After dinner spiced wine was passed
around, followed by pies, pudding, apples,
nuts and cider. I was detailed as a ser
geant, to 'take chaige ot the Life-Guard
Band, which played lively tunes during the
feast; and sol saw all that was going on
In tbo room, for we wero stationed In tbe
passage through which each guest wsut to
tbe dluing-room.
"On such occasions Colonel Hamilton
generally sat at the head of the table, but
now being absent, the Oeneral presided at
one end of tbe table himself, and Lady
Washington at the other end. She was a
short, stout-built and good little woman.
Before the guests sat dowu, the Geneial
staudlng, asked a blessing with solemn
tone and closed eyes. Old Billy, Wash
ington' body-servant, whose head ap
pealed like a bunch of wblto sheep's wool,
was tbo chief waiter on that occasion, and
moved with great dignity, In tbe evening
some of tho young people of the ylH'se
were Invited In, and all Indulged In- inno

until nine o'clock, when tbo company
broke up. Captain Colfax, who command

In the light ot tho full moon. I met Ser

There was a civic and military procession.
I was Invited to rido in a barouche with
Sergeant Knapp and tho orator of the day.
Tho Sergeant and I wore Invited guests.

and when tbo orator had finished hi ad

for tho hero by hurrahs which almost
brought echoes from Beacon Hill and the
Storm Ktug, looming up from tho Hudson

Knapp had seen signal fires blazing during
tho old War for Independence, And when,
an hour later, tho last survivor of Wash

voice ho Inyited the whole company to his
