TUB CHARACTER OF WAMIINUTON.
The following synopsis of tit" char
acter of George Washington, is taken
from a letter written by Thos. Jeffer
son in 1814. It has become fashiona
ble in these days to treat the memory
of Washington, if not with contempt
at least with indifference and slightiug
words. It will be seen from the ex
tract given below, that he was all that
history claims for him, and his raera-
rf deserves the reverence of the peo
ple as much now as when ho was the
living idol of the nation :
"I think I know General Washing
ton intimately and thoroughly; and
were I called on to clelinrnte his char
acter, it should be in-terms nUe these
"His mind was erreat and powerful,
without buiag of the very first order ;
his peuairation strong, mitign not so
acute as that of a Newton, Bacon or
Locke : and as far as he saw no jnng
ment was ever sounder. It was slow
n operation, being little aided by in
vention or imagination, but. sure m
conclusion. Hence the common re
mark of his officers, of the advantage
he derived from councils of war, where,
hearing all suggestions, he selected
whatever was best; and certainly no
General ever planned his battles moro
udiciously. But if oeranged d unite
the course of the action, if any mem
ber of his plan was dislocated by sud
den circumstances, he was slow in a
readjustment. The consequence was
that he often failed in the field, and
rarely against an enemy in station, as
at Boston and York. He was tacnpa
ble of fear, meeting personal dangers
with tbe calmest unconcern, remaps
the strongest feature in his character
was prudence, never acting until every
circumstance, every consideration, was
maturely weighed ; refraining if he saw
a doubt, but, when once decided, going
through witb his purpose, whatever
obstacles opposed. His integrity was
most pure, bis justice tbe most loilexi

of the words, a wise, a good and a great
man. His temper was naturally irrita
ble and higji-toned ; but reflection and
resolution had obtained a firm and ha
bitual ascendancy over it. If ever,
however, it broke its bounds, he was
most tremondous in bis wrath. In his
expenses he was honorable, but exact:
liberal in contributions to whatever
promised utility ; but frowning and
unyielding on all visionary projects,
and all uu worthy calls on his charity

above mediocrity, possessing neither

by conversation with the world, tor bia
education was meroly reading, writing

added surveying at a later day. His
time was employed in action chiefly,
reading little and that only in Agri
culture and Euglish history. His cor
respondence became necesstnly exten
sive, and. with journalising his agricul
tural proceeamgs, occupied most oi
his leisure within doors. On the whole,
his character was, in its mass, perfect;
in nothing bad, in few points indiffer
ent; and it may truly be said, that
never did nature and fortune combine
more perfectly to make a man great,
and to place him in the same conrtel-

One of those little romances of which
the French are so fond, has lately
taken place in Faris, and is thus de
scribed in a journal : ...
Mr. Robert, a wealthy and hignly
accomplished gentleman elegant, well
known not only for his valuable col
lections of paintings and mediaeval
relics, but for his rare skill as a de
signer and painter, hearing that one
of his tenants, a Mr. B., whom he had
never seen, kept one of .the) most ex
tensive ateliers of fancy' boxes and or
namental obicclaiiT France, called, on
him with a view to make his acquaint.;
ann.
Kntcrinf ie counting room he found
a good natured, eccentric gentleman
of middle acre who erceted him, and
exclaimed :
"I sunnoso that Tou also have seen
mv advertisement and come to . apply
for that situation as designer 7
For a joke, Mr. Robert replied that
he had. Mr. B. supplied him with
oaiuts and brushes, and requested him
f , r..i . nr.
to produce a design ior a. cbsk.ui. .int.
Robert soon found that what Mr. B,
really wanted was an artist who would
strictly carry out his own ideas, and
that these were pure, and formed on
an extsnsive knowledge of art. In a
short time he produced a sketch which
suited the employer toadot-' a point.
Mr. Robert very gravely engaged
himself, exacted good wages, and in
sisted on haviug several new articles
of furniture placed in the room which
was assigned to him. But when he
was introduced to the work rooms and
found one hundred and fifty girls,
many of them young and beautiful,
busily employed, and was informed
that he would bo required to supply
them with designs and show the young
ladies how they were.to be carried out,
the young artist began to feel as if he
should have to bo carried out himself
being very susceptible.
"Working tor a living,' said he to
himself, "is not entirely devoid of at
.tractions. Iet us work.
Mr. Robert being an accomplished
artist, delighted his employer, and he
soon found a remarkable fascinatiou
in seeing his designs realized in steel,
silver, enamel, or wood. He took
pleasure hitherto unknown, in seeing
his works in show-windows aud finding
them in the boudoirs of hia friends,
This workshop life was of course con
cealed from "society, nor did his em
ployer suspect that his artist was his
landlord. But Mr. Robert soon found
a more intense object of fascination in
the daughter of Mr. B.. a rouiiir ladv
who also took part in the duties of the
atelier. This (lalnsel was as remarks
ble for her accomplishments as for her
extraordinary beauty, and Mr. Robert
soon found that as regarded taste and
culture in all matters which specially
interested her, he had never met with
any one like her. Step by step, the
pair fell in love, and little by little
the artist ingratiated himself with the
father, that the latter, after due delib
eration, consented to their union.
Previous to the marriage the old
gentleman one day spoke of a dowry.

OLD WEAflEI.'S LAST POKER HANK.
The best poker hand we ever heard
of was hold bv old Weasel tho other
night. Weasel didn't know much
about poker, but he wanted to learn,
and every now and then (the party
was playiug euchre) ho would show hw
cards aud ask if that wasn't a good
hand. Once or twice ho bet, but some
body always beat him, because he knew
so little about the game. After a
while, ns Weasel was dealing, and
when he had thrown three cards
around to each one, he stopped aud
looked at his three. He looked a good
while. Then he got excited. a
"Now, I know this is a good hand
I've learned something about poker in
the last two hours, nnd I'll bet $25 on
these three cards. It's just the bcs.t
hand I ever saw."
Jones had beaten Weasel on this
sort of a banter already, and so be
took tip his cards. He had three aces

Ho bent a pitying smile on old Wea
sci aud said : "Tthink I've got some
thing pretty good here, but I couldn't
bot less than $50 on it. We're not
playing poker.you know.and these out
side iseiues are irregular. I bet $50."
"Done !" said old Weasel; "What
have you got?"
They put tip their money, and then
Jones showed his band.
"Here's three aces, you old mutton

three cards on earth. You ought to

Hold on. cried old Weasel, throw
ing down the kiog, ten and seven of
hearts. "That's a flush, ain't it?"
When you've got all of a suit thats a
flush, I believe;. and a flush always
beats threes. I don't know much
about poker, but it seems to me I've
got the best hand out of jail."
Joucs had torgotten about iiusiies.
In fact, the whole party rather under
rated old Weasel because be was a re
ligious man and not supposed to know
anything about crads. But they kept
a very watchful eye on bun alter that,

Mr. Snoozer was then proceeding
quietly to cool off the bricks of the
pavement, when a gentleman, witu
two ladies, two shawls, and one sore
boil on his arm, walked up irom a
Vine-street beer garden. To prevent
another catastrophe, the hoseman turn

running at the rate of forty knots an

window of a second-story bedroom in
the adjoining house, where a man and.
his wile were sleeping. He never
dreamed of such a thing until female
shrieks were heard and a man iu white
raiment appeared at tho window and
fired off seven shots from a revolver.
Then Mr. Snoozer thought he would
shut off steam. But he had mislaid

WEST POINT CADETS AS BAREBACK
I'EUKUUillEHH.
The most amusing drill of the ser
vice took place this evening iu the
riding hall, near the lower dock.
Twenty-six cadets, of the first class,
commanded by Captain Kailerty, ot
the sixth cavalry, went through the
trying maneuvers or the school oi tho
soldiers, mounted, at 5:30 o'clock. Tbe
galleries were occupied by the board
of visitors and more ladies than I have
seen together here since the beginning.
The cadets assembled, armed with sa
bers and revolvers, on soma of the
most troublesome horses in tho com
mand. The young men went through
troup exercise und the use of a saber
in cutting at a false bead on a post
about the height of a man. Having
given satisfaction at this part ot tho
trial of skill, the men were dismount
ed aud ordered to unsaddle their
horses. Then riding bareback,' two at
a time fired at a dummy, leaped a hur
dle, thrust at a ring and another falso
head iu ouotour of the school. These
attacks required rapidity and coolness,
because the revolver bad to be drawn
from the holster, cocked, fired, aud re
turned, the sabro drawn, the hurdle
leaped and the thrusts delivered in
less than a minute. Few failed, des
pite the spirit of their steeds. Their
performances elicited the highest en
comiums, and were truly exciting.
Mr. French, one of the cadets, narrow
ly escaped serious injury from the full
ing of his horse at the nuraio leap,
llorso and man, in the most critical
moment of tho tilt, rolled over and
over iu the arena, which was fortunate

On a certain occasion a father,
speaking of his two sons, said "John.

be? Can true piety exist without hou-

persons who think it can, but it so
they are mistaken. Tho consistent
