THE SCBANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 22. 1894. It'll country l.as u. inu n y its s t b t a s nn; n ijUi , V s l many uinli 'iW1 j Bud worthy DMO whose names and good ilcctl hbnld uot be forgotten and whoaa memories should live forever in the hearts of u grateful and libertylovlng people. if all the, Washington ptinds preeminently at tin- bead. Nat urally, and very rightly, ho holds the first plane ln-our thought and in our patriotic affections. The anniversary f his birth has long been a legal holi day, and if not observed with the fame demonstrations of enthusiasm that mark Independence day. is yet enough of an event to turn our minds towards Utis great and commanding tigure in American history, to keep before us this noble character and to stimulate within us a truer love of u,r country, together with a broader and higher Jevotiuu t those principles of human liberty for which Washington and our fathers fought. It has often been said that we Amer icans ure prone to hero worship, and that to us our great men are paragons of virtue and in all respects little less than siiints There may be a modicum, ol truth in this charge, but if there is 1 fail to see that we. as Americans, bbuuld be ashamed of it. George Washington well earned the place he holds In history ami in the hearts of his countrymen; and while he was only human snd, therefore, sub jtct to human frailties and weaknesses, o UII1TH FLACK 0 WAIHXXOTOX. jie was, ut the bame time, and despite these facts, a great and a noble charac ter. If it be true, as Shakespeare says: 1 "Then U a destiny wLk'a stupe our cuds ' Rouge htw them how we wtU," 01 would almost seem that even tu , his boyhood days Washington began the formation of character that in after tyears enabled him to win the proud; !place lie will ever hold anions the great jnen of the earth. Laying aide as iai- ; probable and foolish many of the ! -.tones that have been told about him j before he attained manhood's estate. it is still clear that he was no ordinary (boy. lie was scarcely in his thirtieth (year before he had copied and compile i Etu rules of conduct, and these lie ptudied diligently and applied them iduring his whole life both In social and business relations with others. A study of the man. as shown in his .career from a surveyor to president of the United States, discloses, we think-, jthu leading traits of his character. Let Us see what they were: In the Hirst place, he was of a thoughtful, de liberative nature, lie was possessed tof tremendous will force, and this faculty, turned as it was in his ease j tinto the rigiit channels, enabled bin to carry forward that work of self training which he began in his early youth and continued, so far 'as we know, to the close of Ml long and eventful career. He was .studious in his habits, loved truth, honesty and f.obriety; and then virtues, with the constant use ot his retlective powers, apon ga ve to him a Judgment ripened liy thoughtful observation, far su perior to that possessed by most men of twice bis age und experience. llis innate modesty, Hoo, is well hnown. In about the only letter to his wife that has beeu preserved lie us pures her that be did not seek the high plaee which tbe continental eongresn had given him as commander In chief of the American army, lie also tell i her In the same epistle that he could Rot shirk the grave responsibilities thus thrust upon him and that he SOU id not. Without bringing reproach und disgrace to bit good name, decline the proffered honor. At the lame time he expresses his fears as to his ability to handle the great interests intrusted to him, but adds, with modest confidence, that be will do tin- best he ,-an and leiiae the rest to that l'rovidence who bad all along gulden und protected him 0 every important undertaking. This, then, Is enough for us to know, that he did succeed in bis new and r. -Sponsible position, and in the discharge at rare intervals be lost control of his temper UUd was OSpeclally irritable w hen tortured by the pangs of hunger. What of it? lie was still the great general, the patient, uncomplaining patriot, shar ing the Sufferings und hardships of his faithful soldiers, and never, for one in stant, swerving in hi splendid devo tion to his country und the great cause of human liberty. Yes, Washington was a hero, lie was also a patriot and a statesman. And let us rather be guilty, in his ease, of u little hero worship than forget what he did for bis country and humanity. Better that American boys and girls should be taught along these linen thuu that thev should grow up with no love for his memory in their hearts and with little or no knowledge of the man and bis noble achievements, r'or to study Washington and his life means the in culcation of the principles of honesty, morality and patriotism, a vcucratiou for liod and native land, together with that sublime courage which makes men willing to do and dare anything in tbe course of justice und the right. bo on this 2'Jd of February. IBM, let us turn our hearts and thoughts towards our own N ashitigtou, and in a study of his virtues learn lessons that will make us better and more useful citizens; make us prouder of the price less heritage for which the war of 'TB was fought, and more determined that the laud which Washington loved so well shall ever be the best and freest on earth.

It Is a very pretty little building, overlooking the lludsou river. Ou the west side is u low porch, which is the entrance to the historical room having seven doors und one w indow. It originally was theliniug-room. It contains one of the high old-fashioned fireplaces Hanging to its black sides ure a kettle once used by Lafayette und a few cannon balls. Near by is an almost life-size port rait of Oeii. Wash ington, embroidered iu silk. To the right is Washington's bed room. In this room ure some chairs and a tuble brought from Holland in thu year 1698, also portrait), of (Jen. und Mrs. Washington, and two very much worn flags. In the next room are Mrs. Washington's spinet and Washington's chair. The housekeep er's room is where the old ammuuitioi -1 ms A - sj( s Irs. - i .... r . W77T UT 13 WW i mf MT.

There you will see the object photographed as I have tried to sketch It. I have been doing this daily for sev eral months past und 1 find that the two large spots are in the Saiuu rela tive position und are of the soma khune. thouih constantly iucreasimr in I size. The largest of the upper spot has two or three white spots as yet un touched by the heat, while around them and all through thu iuterior and outer edges of the spot can be seeu what appear to be shudows of stream ing flumes, as when eoal Is burning iu a grate or stove. The lower large spot Is Inky blnck, with very little Indications of com bustion on its edges. The long spot has developod very prominently in the past two months. Other smaller spots jan be observed on this photograph ou the wall. While intervening cloud and mists are easily distinguished, these spots remain tbe same, constant ly developing, With others appearing In tbe clear space. To photograph the sun in this way and watch it consuming itself, it seems li me. would be interesting to many renders. But to me It is intensely thrill teg. because of the proplieeios of the liible. 1 saw and taught, nine or ten years ago, that by 1001 iu April the sun would become "block as sack cloth of hair" (Uev. vl, 13), so that tho angel could stand In it and summon the fowls of the air and the beasts of tho field to tbe "supper of the Great God" (Ucv. six.. 17-1'J), and hence old Sol would shine no more (Kev. xxi., S:i-25). Then this apparently foolish Idea was laughed at, but now astron omers are beginning to acknowledge It as a llternl and seientlflu fact. John S.
