In the eastern suburbs of the village of Morrlstown, New Jersey, stands'thc modest mansion used by Washington as tho head quarters of tho army in the winter of 1770 80, It is as well preserved, with patriotic care, as It was when, In September, 1848, 1 passed a nlghl under Its roof In the enjoy- ment of 1,10 hospitality of lis proprietor, mo non. uaDriqi .corn, who, a iaa ot lour- tccn years, lived there with his widowed mother when tho Continental army was tented and hutted near by during a terrible winter encampment. The general and his suite occupied tho whole house txccptlng two rooms on tho eastern side of tho main passage In which Mrs. Ford and family lived. Tho lower front room on tho left of the door was the general's dining room anil tho apartment Immediately oyer it was used as a'bed-rootn when Mrs. Washington .ra5 t head quarters. In that loom I slept, The same carpet, dark and of u rich pattern, was on the floor that was "tioelden by Mrs. Wash ington and her husband nearly seventy years before; alo two or three pieces of furniture which their e. cs beheld and their liamls had touched. I went to Judgu Fold's at au early hour In the evening, aud rich were the bless- .lliss of most liiturcslius Information which 1, l " !

Several times during the whiter night alaims set the camp In motion to ward headquarters. On such occasions tho Life Guard would lush to tho house, barri cade the doors and throw up the window, and theio they would icmalu until troops from tho camp reached headquarters and the cause of the alarm was ascertained.

"That winter was a very cold one, was It not?'' I inquired. "Tho hardest winter I ever knew," said the Judge. "Karly In January the snow was from four to six feet deep. O, how the poor soldiers suffered. They were yet in tents, and did not got Into tho huts until In February.

I suppose they were sta Honed very near?' Vcs, they occupied about fifty log huts In the large meadow a few rods from tho house. They were about two hundred and fifty strung. A fine set of fellows they were, aud thoroughly trained, lieforo tho snow became so deep, Count Pulaski oxer- cised Ids legion In that meadow. Some of their feats were wonderful. The dexterity of the count in handling his horse and pis tol was amazing, I have seen him, whilst his horse was at fill! speed, discharge his pistol, throw It up In Hie air, catch it by the bat rcl, then hut I it forward as if at a fleeing enemy. Thou, without checking his hoiso, ho would slip ono foot from the stirrup, nnd leaning over toward tho ground recover his pistol, and wheel Into line with as much precision as if he had been em gaged In nothing more than 'the manage ment of his stead. Was not General Schuyler at Morris- town awhile lu tho sprlns?" I asked. 'He came from Philadelphia at the closo of February, at the requestor Washington. Schuyler was in Congiess. He was the most trusted counsellor aud friend of the Commander-in-Chief, who desired bis ad- ylcc on'tho arrangement of the campaign for tho coming season. Ho came with his wife, and his daughter Elizabeth, charm ing joung woman, took a house, that Is yet standing, near the railway station, aud there they entertained most hospitably dur ing the few weeks thoy remainod. Soon after their arrival. Colonel Hamilton, Washington's secretary.beoaine acquainted with the dauahtcr, was smitten by her per- .nnl x1,n I, am nttfaolt v AftH rinpiifMnin Hshmenls, ana fell desperately in love with I her. Ilwr. onn,l nlnmtt PTiirv nvontniT with -"- 'At length, " said Judge. Ford, "a funny event took place. The colonel seemed to I think much of me. and, by permission of the general, would furnish mo with tho I countersign that I mlijht remain at plaj In I tho village and return after dark, when Iho sentinels wuro set. Olio evening I was coming home about nine o'clock, and had passed the sentinel, when I recognized the voice of Hamilton In reply to the soldier's demand " 'Who comes there?' "I stopped aside and walled for tho colonel to accompany mo to our house, "Ilatulltou cauin up to the point of the sentinel's presented bayonet to give tho countersign. Ho had quite forgotten. He hail spent the uvciilt'g with Miss Schuyler, and thoughts of her undoubtedly expelled the countersign from his mind. Tho soldier-lover was embarrassed. The senti nel knew him well, but was stern In pcr fotmance of his duty, Hamilton pressed his ban 1 to his fotehcad and tried to sum soin thelmpoitanl words from their hill ing place, but, like the faithful sentinel, thuy were Immovable. Just then he des cried me In the. darkness " "Ah, Master Ford,' he said, 'Is that youV in an undertone, ami, stepping aside he called me to him and whispeied! " 'Oiyp. me the countersign.' "f did ), .when Hamilton, stepping in fiont of the toldlcr, gave it to him. The sentinel, believing that his superior was testing his fidelity, kept ills bayonet uu moved. "I hao given you the countersign, why do you not shoulder your musket?" asked Hamilton. "inil that do, colonel?" Inquired the Seutlncl, In reply. " 'It will do for this time, let mo pass.' "The sentinel reluctantly obeyed the II. legal command, aud wo passed on, Tho lovers were niairlcd before the next Christ mas. You know tho rest, Hamilton was shot bj Burr. His widow, I understand Is yet living, ovci ninety years of age." "She is," 1 replied. "She Is Hying with her affectionate daughter, Mrs. Holly In elegant lcth'eiiient In Washington City. I oxpect to seo her In a few weeks." "Hid not a distinguished Spanish gent leman die here during the spring?" I In quired. "Vcs," said Judge Ford, "ho came with tho Chevalier de Luzerne, the French Min ister, caily In April. His name was Mlral- les Don Juan Do Mlralles a Spanish grandee. They remainod at headquarters for sometime. A hall was glyen In honor ot the minister at the Morris Taycrn.which was attended by General nnd Mrs. Wash- nglon, all his ofllccrs, (Jcncral and Mcs. Schuyler and their daughter, Governor Livingston and his wife, and many other people of quality. Mlralles was pros! rated by a heavy cold at the time and remained In bed at headquarters. He grew worse rapldjy, and a day or two before tho first of May ho died, and was buried In the little cemetery of the Presbyterian chinch. Dur ing his illness, Mrs. Washington adminis tered to his wants with her .own hands.. A ants, performed tho ceremonies at his funeral. Tho coffin was homo to the grave on the shoulders of four artillery ofllcers Id full uniform, followed by Washington and Luzerne and their re manv citizens. It Is very 7c I rem respective suites and said the Spanplard as very rich. 1 retnemuer looking upon liis dead body with wonder, awe and ad miration, as It lay 'In stato' as wo say, In the room where wcaro now sitting, In his richly ornamented open collln, lined with flue cambric and covered with black velvet. Instead of a shroud, he was in a full dress suit of scarlet, embroidered with gold laco; a three-cornered gold-laccd hat, a cued wig, white silk stockings, large diamond-stud ded knee and shoe buckles, a prominent diamond ilng on his finger, and from a superb gold watch set with diamonds sever al rich seals nero hung. I heard that he left his immense fortune to three daugh tcrs in iSpi!n, amounting In half a million dollars each." 'Was Jrs. Washington at headquarters all winter?" 1 Inquired. 'Sho camo at about the middle of Janu ary," said Judge Ford, "when the snow was deepest and the cold most severe and the soldiers wcro suffering most. Her presence was llko sunshine. Sho had a kind word aim act ior overyuouy. Tho oilicers accorded homage to her hoblo chaiacter; tho soldiers adored her and yet sho was as simple and softly llgnifict".

The suffering of the soldiers touched her generous naturo, and she even Interested tho women of every degree in Moirlstown In co-oporating with her In providing for the sick and snf- ferlng hi the army." "And Washington?" "Ho was always yravc, but nuVer sad always kind, but never, famjliar, and he was scrupulously just and thoughtful of duty towards others. As an uUistintloii of u phae of Washing- ton's pi lvato character, Judgu Ford related that when the patriot took possesion of jr. Ford's mansion ho made an Inven- tory of all artiidc which were appropriated to his nso during tho winter. "When ho withdrew In thosprlng he inquired whether cvcrylhlns had hecn returned to her. "All hut oi:m silver spoon," sho said. Ho took a noto of It, nnd not long after wards sho receletl a spoon from Washln ton bearlne his initials H. W. It was preserved lu the family as a precious n.e- uiento, and as such tuwas snown 10 me me next morning. Washington's tender care for the romfoit of Mrs. Ford (who was tho widow of Colonel Jacob Ford, commander of the Morris County milllia at the time of Washington's flight ttiroiiah New Jersey) was often evinced. On tha occasion of th night alarms mentioned, he always wont to her room, drew the bed-curtains close an soothed her with assurances of safely. And when her son, a lad of seventeen, was brought homo wounded from Sprlnglleld Washington's first oaroin the raornlna was to inquire after the sufferer Judge Ford was elglitv years of ago at tl time of my visit.

MAEKIAOEABLE WOMEN One of tho social problems of the day Is to explain why there aro'so many marrlag- able women who ndycr get married. Somo say lhal.lt Is owing to an excess In numbers of women over men; 'In conse quence of whlce there are Jiot husbands enough. "" This, however, Is disproved by statistics. Tako the world through, and the figure show that there are as many men" in it a there are women. '' Others attribulo it to the exporiiieness of modern life. Jfen do not marry because, It .Issaid, thoy cannot afford to. . Uut the fact is no man who truly loed a women ever hesitated to become engaged to her and eventually marry her became of poverty. " There arc'cold-bloodcd men, wth n Idea of any feeling for a woman stronger than a languid admiration, who many be deterred from assuming whut they regard as a gar den In the shape of a wife unless 'assureu of a liberal income; but most are 'not so calculating. ' 1' . ' Others again attribute the "evil' woman's fastidiousness. They expect too much in 'a husband, and, while waiting for an impossible shidow.Jet tho possible substance slip through their fingers. This is a libel oh tho sex 'IV'a rule, they aro no more fastidious than men are, and aro just as susceptible as men 'to that enchantment of loye which invits- its ob ject with every pcrfection-tmd; coyer up every fault, , Sn far as men and woman themselves are concerned, they are as prone to' marri age now as In' any -period of the world's history.
