A Life-Like View of Washington.
A more than ordinarily intimate and
life-like view of the first President of
the republic and his accomplished wife
is presented in a letter written in 1884 by
a lady who in her youth had known and
associated much with them. of Following letter,
is the principal portion the
which, says the New Y r ork Tribune, was
written by Mrs. John M. Bowers to Mrs.
Edward Clarke, now both deceased. It
forms an interesting and valuable contri¬
bution to the hood of Washington litera¬
ture and reminiscence called forth by the
anniversary of his first inauguration:
My earliest recollection of General Wash¬
ington was in the spring of 1781, when a
guest of my mother, at Haekettstown, N. J.
Although but three years of grand age at that time,
I distinctly remember the appearance
of that great and good man. The brilliancy
of his epaulettes, and his impression peculiarly cocked
hat and plume, made an on my
infant mind never to be effaced. August
and dignified as he was, however, be could
condescend to amuse children. During an
interval of a few minutes’ absence of my
mother from the parlor, the General placed
me on his knee, following and trotting ludicrous me merrily lines:
thereon, sang the
“There was an old, old man, and an old, old
asiS*
er.
They lived in a vinegar bottle together,”
repeating the last lins several times for a
chorus. When my mother returned to the

to reply to her question
me by saying: T guess, General, they

Oneel the most important organs of the
human body isthe LIVER. When it fails to
properly perform its functions the entire
system becomes deranged. The BRAIN,
KIDNEYS, STOMACH, BOWELS, ail refuse
to perform their work. DYSPEPSIA, CON¬
STIPATION, RHEUMATISM, KIDNEY DIS
EASE.-efe., are the results, unless some¬
thing is done to assist Nature in throwing
off ihe impurities caused by the inaction
of a TORPID LIVER. This assistance so
necessary will be found in
PriekSy Ash Bitters!
It acts directly on the LIVER, STOMACH
nnd KIDNEYS, and by its mild and cathartic
effect and general tonic qualities restores
these organs to a sound, healthy condition,
j and cures aii diseases arising from these
causes, it PURIFIES THE BLOOD, tones
