[From the Galaxy.] (JEM Ell A 1. WASHINGTON'S NEGIIO BODY-SERVANT. The stirring part of this ccloliralcil colored man’s life properly begun with his death— that is to say, the notable features of his biography begin with the first time bodied. He had been little heard of up to that time, but since then we have never censed to hear of hint; we have never ceased to hear of him at stated, unlading intervals, llis was a most remarkably eaieer, and 1 have thought that its history would make a valuable addi tion to our biographical literature. There fore, 1 have curelnlly collated the matt rials _ Toi v si!c!i a work, from authentic sourees, and amTlTere present them to the public. 1 have rigidly excluded from these pages every thing of a doubtful character, with the ob ject in view of introducing my work into the schools for the instruction of the youth of my country. The name of the famous body -servant of General Washington was George. After serving his illustrious master faithfully for half a century, and enjoying throughout this long term his high regard and confidence, it became his sorrowful duly at l»st, to lay that beloved master to rest in his peaceful grave by the Potomac. Ten years after wards—in 1809—full of years and honors, be died himself, mourned by till who knew him. The Boston "Gazette" of tha*. dale thus refers to the event: George, the favorite body-servant of tins lamented Washington, died in Richmond, Va., last Tuesday, at the ripe age of 95 years, llis intellect was unimpaired, and hie memory tenacious, up to within a few minutes of his decease, lie was present at the second installation of Washington as President, and also at his funeral, and dis tinctly remembered all iho prominent in cidents connected with those noted events. From this period we hear no more of the favorite body-servant of General Washing ton until May, 1825, at which time he died again. A Philadelphia paper thus speaks of the sad occurrence: At Macon Ga., last week, a colored man named George, who was the favorite body servant of General Washington, died, at the advanced age of 95 years Up to within a few hotirs of liis dissolution he was in full possession of all liis faculties, ml could dis ti noth' recollect the second installation of Washington his death and burial, the surrender of Cornwallis, the bat tle ofTren ton, the griefs and hardships of Valley Forge, etc. Deceased was followed to the grave by tho entire population of Macon. On the Fourth of July, 1830. slid also of 1834 and 1830, the subject of this sketch was exhibited in great state upon tho ros trum by the orator of the day,and in Novem ber of 1840, he died again. The St. Louis “Republican’' of the 25th of that month spoke as follows : Another Relic of the Kkvoi.i tion Gone.—George, once the favorite body-ser- Tani of General Washington, died yester day at the house ot Mr. John Leaven worth, in this etiy, at the venerable age of 95 years. He was in the full possession of his faculties up to the hour of his death, and distinctly recolected the first and second installations and death of President Washington, the surrender of Cornwallis, the battles of Trenton and Monmouth, the sufferings of the patriot army at Valley Forge, the pro clamation of the Declaration of Indepen dence, the speech of Patrick Henry in the Vitginia House of Delegates, and many other old time reminiscences of stirring in terest. Few white men die lamented as was this aged negro. The funeral was very largely attended. During the next teu or eleven years the subject of this sketch appeared at intervals at Fourth of July celebrations in various parts of the country, and was exhibited upon the rostrum with flattering success But in the tall ol 1855 he died again- The California papers thus speak of the event: Anothf.r Old Hero Gone,—Died, at Dutch Flat, on the 7th of March, George (once the confidential body-servant of Gene ral Washington), at the great age of 95 years. His memory, which did not fail him till the last, was a wonderful storehouse ot interesting reminiscences. He could dis tinctly recollect the first andsecotid iustalla tions and death of President Washington, the surrender of Cornwallis, the battles of Trenton and Monmouth, and Bunker Hill, the proclamation of the Declaration of In dependence, and Braddock's Deieat.— George was greatly respected in Dutch Flat, and it is estimated that there was 10,000 people present at his funeral. The last time the subject of this sketch died, was in June, 18fi4; and until we learn the contrary, it is iust to presume that he died permanently this time. The Michigan papers thus refer to the sorrowful event: Another Cherished Remnant or'the Revolution Gove. —George, a colored man and once the favorite body servant of Gene ral Washington, died in Detroit last week at the age of 95 years. To the moment of his death his intellect was un clouded, and ho could distinctly remember the first and second installations and death of Washington, tho surrender of Cornwallis, the battles of Trenton and Monmouth, and Bunker Ilill, the proclamation of the De claration of Independence. Braddook’s De feat, the throwing over of the tea in Boston harbor, and the landing of tbo Pilgrims, lie died greatly respected, and was followed to the grave by a vast concourse of people. The faithful old servant is gone! We shall never see him more, until he turns up again, lie lias closed liis long and splendid career of dissolution, for the present, and sleep? peacefully, as only they sleep who have earned their rest. He was in all res pects a remarkable man. He held his age hettei than any celebrity that has figured in history ; and tho longer he lived the stronger and longer his memory grew. If he lives to die again, he will distinctly recollect the discovery of America. The above resume of his biography I be lieve to be substantially correct, although it is possible that he may have died once or twice in obscure places where the event failed of newspaper notoriety. One fault I find in all notices of his death which I have quoted, and this ought to be corrected. In them he uniformly and impartially died at the age of 95. This could not have been, lie might havo done that once, or may be twice, but lie could not have continued it indefinitely. Allow ing that when he first died, ho died at the ago 01'95, he was 151 years old when he died last, in 1804. But his age did not keep pace with his recollec tions. When ho died the last time lie dis I inoth’ remembered the landing of the Pil grims, which took place in 1020. lie must havo been about twenty years old when he witnessed that even ; wherefore it is safe to assert that the body-servant of General Washington was in the neighborhood of two hundred and sixty or seventy years old when he departed this life finally. Having waited proper length of time, to see if tho subject of this sketch had gone from us reliably and irrevocably, 1 now publish liis biography with confidence, and respectfully offer it to a mourning nation. Mark Twain. P. B.—l see by the papers that this in famous old fraud has just died again, in Arkansas. This makes six times that he is known to have died, and always in a now place. 'The death of Washington’s body servant has ceased to ho a novelty its charm is gone ; the people are tired of it ; let it cease. This well-meaning, but mis guided negro, has now put’six different com munities to the expense of buiying him in state, and has swindled tens of thousands of people into following him to the grave under the delusion that a select and peculiar di-istinetion was being conferred upon them. Let him stay buried lor good now ; and let that newspaper suffer the severest censure that shall ever, in all future time, publish to the world that General Washington's fa vorite colored Tody-sCrvant lias died again.

He bed a desprit struggle to git it adoptid. The blind planters uv the neighborhood bed lathe in the old piddle, plain, and the Elder wuz forst to deiuonstate, by actooal experiment on his niggt vs its sooperioritv. He killed two in doing it, but he triumphed. It war. found that more chastisement cood be inflicted with it in a given time than by the old method, and that it lasted longer. 1 need not say wat his politics wnz. lie was never nothin hut a Dimocrat. Ho commenst his career votiu three times for Jackson, and the candidates vvich fullered in succession lied no cause to complain uv his zeel. Under Bookanan his fdthfulnis wnz rewardid. The post otlis wieh 1 now hold wuz given him. aud he discharged the doolies faithfully and to the best uv his ability. Ez he coode it read he put wat letters wieh arriv out into a box outside, lettin every one come take one es thev wantid to. The paper wieh come to the oflis for Deekiu Pogrom he learned to dis tribbit in too weeks. The out-goin mail he dumped into a Looisville bag, feelin a great load wuz off his mind when it de nartid. He held the oflis tilt they wantid him to make out a quarterly report. He wuz nonplussed. He either hod to buy a nigger who cood read and write, or resign, and be resigned. A half-starved Yankee wus appointid in his stead, who reigned till I releeved him. The Elder wuz the happy possessor uv three hundred niggers. They wuz probably the best lot of niggers, ez they run, in North western Kentucky. He had three shades uv color. The trader cood find anything in the line uv nigger, up to these three, that he wantid, on his plantashen. Ther wnz the pflre Congo, the agil mulatto, and the comely quadroon. Ther wuz no higher mix than the quadroon, for it will be remembered the family hevu't bin slave-owners but three generashens. They hed accomplished a gread deal, however, for the time they hed em. The Elder hed bin in failin health ever since 1862. In that year he embarkt into a speculashun wich bid fair to make him wun uv the wealthiest men in the State, and wood, hed things bin continyood normal. Their wuz niggers rumiin to the Federal camps from alf parts uv the State, and the Elder conceived an idea uv goiu to the said camps and claimin uv em. The officer in command wuz so anxious to consiliate em, that he wood gladly give em up, without bein pcrtiklcr about proofs, and the Elder gathered, in that way, in two months, over a hundred. It required a good deel of ridin, and that fatigue combined with the exposure inci dent to bushwhackin Fedral pickets, wich waz guardiu his fences and sich, brought on a spell uv sickness from which he never fully recovered. The Emancipashen I’roc lamashen nearly finislit him, and he ling ered along, a broken man ontil Johnson’s 22(1 uv Febroory spoech, which acted ez a tonic onto him. lie revived, but the effect wuz tompiorary. Ez the Conservatives made headway, ho came up, and ez Congris tri umphed, he went down, and thus he lived like a candle in a tin lantern, fiickrin or quiet, ez the wind blowd. lie pluekt up amazinly after the eleckshuns last fall, but alas, the treachery of Meade and the rein statement uv Stanton wuz two blows from wieli he cood not hope to recover. And so, yesterday, at two p. in., wich in tliis case means post mortem, he died. ‘•Send in Sairy !” sed he, and a favorite mulatto woman uv hizzen who. owiu to the fact uv her bavin eight children, who wuz quadroons, hed stayed onto the place, wuz sent for. She set on the bed, and tho Elder’s head wuz placed ill her lap. “Give mo my niunney,” sed he ; and a box uv Confoderit scrip wuz given him. Ami so, with his head in Sairey’a lap, fingerin Con federit scrip, and taken likker out uv a spoon, he passed gently away. It wuz a troo Kentucky doparchor. “This is the eend uv life!” sed I. "May rnv eend he like his,” murmured Deekin Pogratn, and all wuz o'er. There wuz trouble immcjitly. Wlieu the Elder's will wuz read I wuz disap pointed to find that the Elder hed left tho half uv his estate to Sairey and his wife. Sairey and the people uv the Corners to wich he was indebted in small sums, wuz disappointed to find that Bascom hed a mort gage on everything the Elder possessed, uv quite its valyoo. Bascom, I bleeve, hez a mortgage onto every root uv ground within ton miles nv here. He wood hev a mort gage onto my property, I make no doubt el I hod nny.

It was thought by some that we had better get tlie Parker A: Watson Series, which is tlie most used in the Schools, simply because some had got it, for the sake of uniformity; but my recommendation prevailed. One gentleman present, who had used both, stated that he had u>cd the other as long as he eared to, and con sidered the Willson Scries as Far superior, giv ing an example of the difference oftime requird in teaching anew pupil, the preference being decidedly in lavor of tiie latter series. So we, starting this new movement, have decided to get the best book extant, so far as we knew them. * * * * * (Signed) S. Willard Saxton. From tlie American Freedman (Rev. Lyman Abbott.) “ The peculiar characteristic of this Series lies in the fact that they aim to impart, as furas possible, useful information. For this puTpo.-e they contain a series ot articles on various sub jects of science and history, graded to the cap acity ol dilierent pupils,'and so arranged that wcnli the five volumes have been carefully read, the student, in addition to a knowledge of read ing, will have acquired a considerable knowledge in many departments of study, such as will.l'av the foundation for more complete instruction afterward.” They are therefore peculiarly adapted to the pressing needs and quick pcrceptives ot the colored children. Each book is profusely and handsomely illustrated, and the illustrations are all intended to render the comprehension ot the reading matter more easy. The follow ing testimonials have been selected from a large mass of a similar nature : Behead R..F. and A. L., Office Sipeuintenpunt Edlcatiox, Richmond, Ya.. Dec. 1:3, 186*3. Dear Sir—l have been familiar with the Read ers from their first publication, and am free to say to you, as I have uniformly said to teachers, superintendents, and others, that, all tilings considered, 1 regard them as the best Series be fore the public flic leading peculiar feature of this Series was a happy inspiration of the author, and the execution of the plan so well done as scarcely to admit of improvement. Mr. Willson’s style of composition in the lower numbers of the Series, and something of his plan in the higher numbers, have been imitated by some later writers of school readers with deci ded advantage to their works. Hence, Mr. Will son has uot only made a peerless Scries of his own, but has elevated the general standard of such works. Whenever my choice Ims not been constrained by circumstances, I have always used this Scries both in the white and colored schools with which I have been in any way connected. Yours, truly, R. M.
