British genoral had to enrb Ills pride
and rofrain from attaching this tatter
demalion army.
At midnight of tho 4tli of .November,
Howe commenced withdrawing his
forces, ns thnngb in retreat, and soon
thoy disappoarod, from White Plains,
but it was with tho intention of attack
ing Fort Washington, and on the 15th
bo sent n summons to surrender, accom
panied with a barbaric threat. Wash-
ngton hastened to the beleaguered fort
ress, which tin reached in the cold gloom
of a November evening, bnt his utmost
endeavors roitM not withstand tho force
of numbers, and Colonel Mngaw was
forced to cipitulato. There were but
8.000 men, only 1,000 of whom could get
into tho fort, tho rot being stationed at
the outposts Four simultaneous at
tacks were made and the assault was a
scries of complicated battlos, some two
miles and a hair distant and some with
in cannon shot. The redoubts were cap
tured nnd tho rorreuting troops so
crowded tho fort that the men conld
scarcely move about.
The British conld throw lu a ram oi
shells find balls nnd capitulation could
not be avoided Washington stood upon
an eminence near nnd saw the American
Sag full and the British Qag rise in its
place. It was at this occasion that he
wept over tho merciless slaughter of the
young soldiers. Before this he had
recommended, though not ordered, that
the fort should be evacuated and the
men and stores bo removed to a place of
safety, but some of his more sanguine
generals were confident that they could
hold the place Deep as was his grief,
ho did not reproach them The cap
tives, numbering 3,818, wero marched

rer no garnered as many 6T his suffering
troops ns possible at Brunswick. And all
this time there was a perpetual clamor
of indignation against him on account of
his continued retreat.
It would have been the act of a mad
man to follow any other courso then.
There wore, on tho other hand, friends
and others who appreciated tho gran'
dear ot Washington and understood his
struggle, but thu same motives that kept
him silent kept them silent too.
Washington, with his feeble, dis
heartened baud, lingered in a state of
fearful destitution at Brunswick until
tho 1st of Decombcr. Tho enemy in
solid columns wero marching proudly
through the country with Infantry, ar
tillery and cavalry, impressing horses,
wagons, shoep, cattlo and everything
which could add to tho comfort of his
warmly clad and well fed hosts.
Irving says: "The people of Now Jer-
sey beheld the commander in chief re
treating through thoir country with a
handful of men, woary and way worn,
dispirited, without tents, without cloth
ing, many of them barefooted, exposed
to wintry weather, and driven from cost
to post by a well clad, triumphant force,
tricked out In all tho glittering bravery
of war.
The chill winds of winter were moan
ing over tho fields and ice wns be
ginning to clog tho swollen streams.
About 1,300 men were stationed at
Princeton to watch the movements of
the enemy Un tho 2.1 this harassed
army reached 'fronton In that dark
hour, when all hearts failed, Washing.
ton still remained undaunted, lie wrote
to Uoneral Mercer; 'We must retire to

British reported that 'Washington was
teen retreating with two brigades to
fronton, where they talk of resisting.
But such a pnuiu has seized the rebels
that no part of the Jerseys will hold
mem, and 1 doubt whether Philadelphia
itseUrwill stop their career. Congress
das lost authority; they are in such oon
iternation that they know not what to

And all this time Lee was loitering at
tdorristown with about 4,000 men, until
the 12th, when, fortunately for the good
it hia country, he was captured nnd car
ried to Brunswick
Washington combined in bis character
to an astonishing degree courage and
prudence. Is Is doubtful whether there

"That, sir. h tho Washington house
It's where General Washington stopped
once during the Revolutionary war."
Such was tho answer that 1 received to
an Inquiry that 1 made about an old
stone house standing on n neglected cor
ner, Jnst west of the old New Jersey town
of Bloomfleld. My curiosity had been
aroused by the contrast it madowith
the neat cottages with their closely
shaven lawns and well kept shrubbery
that hemmed It In on nearly every side
THE OLD IIOCSE IIS D LOO 11 in ELD.
It was a Rip Van Winkle amid the gen
eration that had grown np since he fell
asleep I fell that the decrepit old
structure in tint have a history, and the
answer to my inquiry confirmed tho
thought that had come to mo In somo
mysterious way
"It doesn t look uow its if it ever had
that honor does Its' asked my infor
mant. I had lo confess that it did not. 1
could easily imagine that It might havo
sheltered ghosts er that a witch may
havo once made it her home. I could
almost fancy that 1 saw her lean and
whitened visage peering through tho
narrow dormer in the middle ot the
long, moss covered roof, or her thin,
bony hand thrust through one of tho
windows on cither side of the old
weather beaten porch.
Bnt there was nothing about it but
the two tall maples in front that sug
gested the dignity nnd stateUness that
tho American, always conples with tho
name of Washington. It was low. only
a tingle story in height, nnd from where
I stood, beyond tho old trees, it looked
small and cramped.
"No, sir: tha-bouse is not so small as
you think It has a frontago of nearly
tifty feet, and Its depth Is fnlly thirty
Thero is, besides, an annex on the west
side in the roar twenty feet square. The
root used to cover big families In those
good old times when a dozen children
gladdened and sometimes saddened the
hearts ot the pioneers There are a
good many children shouting nnd
screaming in tho yard and on the walk
now, but thoy belong to the tlireo fam
ilies that now live in tho house
"In the days of tho Revolution it was
one of the finest residences in this part
of the country. Trno enough, there
wero not nt that time many houses la
Bloomfleld not more than a score bnt
most of them were of logs. This Is,
however, of stone, ns you reo; and If
yon look at it closely you will see also
that the stono in front and on the north
Bide toward tho street are cut and laid
in courses; those on the other two sides
are rough und laid without any regular
ity. The wide hallway that runs from
tho front entrnuc-o to tho rear still re
tains marks of its ancient glory The
casings and wido window seats in the
two rooms on each side of the hall aro
not without marks of n luxury that was
unusual In a farmhouse a century ago.
"The old fireplaces with their man
tels, that have boon removed to make
room for tho teunnts that now crowd it,
would have, brought joy to the heart of
the Colonial honsebuilder could thoy
havo been transferred in their primitive
size and beauty lo his ball and library.
Tho eight cr nino rooms up stairs aro
not large, it Is true, but .they are not
smaller than those of Washington's
mansion at Mount Vernon The annex
in the rear is not elegnnt; but 1 dare say
it was as convenient and useful to its
Colonial owners as the old kitchen on
the Potomac. Like the main part pt
the house itself, this part has been cut
np ami cbangod a good deal to suit the
needs of tenants. Were Washington to
return 1 fear that ho would recognize
but little that met his eyes when a Mr,
Cadmus, who then owned it, welcomed
him to his Ureslde."
Even hl the old house been us dilapi
dated as it Is now, 1 do not think that
Washington wonld have regarded it as
an unwelcome shelter However par
ticular he may havo been about his sur
roundings after he laid down his sword,
he was not ablo to give much thought
to them at the time of bis visit to Bloom
field toward the close of 1770 Never
during bis life was his mind and body
more severely taxed "Such is my situ
ation," he said, "tliat If. 1 were to. wish
the bitterest curse to an enemy on this
side of the grave, 1 should put him in
my stead with my feelings."
"It was nt this time," coutinued my
informant, "that Washington stopped
at the old storehouse in Bloomfleld. Ex
hausted from a hard day's riding direct
ing the retro.it of hit little army, he rode
np to mi old stuccoed house that now
stands on t"i .inklin street, near the con
tr of tbe ullage Here he boped to
find food ami tire and rest for the night
But he w as diHitpuointed; the house was
already ik. upied by General Green and
his staff Although some of tho subor
dinate officers offered to withdraw and
thus make r- . in for him, be refused to
accept theii self sacrifice
"Continuing along the road To the
west he came to the old stono house.
The family had eagerly espoused the
cause of the patriots on the outbreak of
the war Gladly therefore did they wel
come the stalwart officer that sought
their hospitality, xnrloe welcome din
they make him when they learned that
he was the great general that they had
heard so much about Tradition says
that Mr.Uadmr.i entertained him three
