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

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

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

"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

You spoko of tho Life Guards rushing
into the house. 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

'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

thuy were Immovable. Just then he des
cried me In the. darkness
" "Ah, Master Ford,' he said, 'Is that

he called me to him and whispeied!
" 'Oiyp. me the countersign.'

fiont of the toldlcr, gave it to him. The
sentinel, believing that his superior was
testing his fidelity, kept ills bayonet uu

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

"Vcs," said Judge Ford, "ho came with
tho Chevalier de Luzerne, the French Min

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

Instead of a shroud, he was in a full dress

white silk stockings, large diamond-stud

diamond ilng on his finger, and from a

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". In her deportment as a pious ma-

Ity and good sense, she was seldom without
knlttlng-work In her hands when receiving
and entertaining guests. 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

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

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.
