Futile remedies. In the first place there
will come no pacification to this trouble
through an outcry against rich men merely
because they are rich. There is no laboring
man on earth that woffid not be rich if he
°ould be. Sometimes through a fortunate in-
vention, or through some accident of pros*
penty, a man who had nothing comes to
large estate, and we see him arrogant and
supercilious, and taking people by the throat
just as other people took him by the throat.
There is something very mean about
human nature when it comes to the top.
But it is no more a sm to be rich than it is a
sm to be poor. There are those fraild, who have
gathered a great estate through and
then there are millionaires who. have
gathered then fortune through foresig tin
regard to changes in the markets, and
through brilliant business faculty, ami every
dollar of their estate is as honest as the
dollar which the plumber gets for mending wall, a
pipe, or the mason gets for buildings
ot their own fault, They might have been
well off, but they smoked or chewed up their
earnings, or they lived beyond their means,
while others on the same wages and on the
same salaries went on to competency. 1

Frederick the Great admired some
near his palace at Potsdam and he resolved
to get it. It was owned by a miller. He of-
fered the miller three times the value of the
property. The miller would not take it, bo
cause it was the old homestead, and he felt
about it aa Naboth felt about his vineyard
when Ahab wanted it. Frederick the Great
was a rough and terrible man,and he ordered

“ Yes.” said the King. “1 will take it.”
“-Hum ” sard the miller, “if your Majesty
does take it I will sue you in the chancery

yielded his infamous demand. And the most
imperious outrage against the working
classes will yet cower before the law. Vio-
lence and contrary to the law will never ac-
complish anything, will but righteousness and ac-

The Father of Washington*
A short time since inquiry was made in
regard to the place where the father of
George Washington -was buried. Dili¬
gent search failed for some time to ascer¬
tain the location of the grave of Augus¬
tine Washington. But the information
lias finely been secured. It seems that
Augustine Washington, the father of
Gen. George Washington, died April 12,
1743, in Stafford County, and his body
was brought down and deposited in the
vault at Wakefield, near Bride’s Creek, in
Westmoreland County, where his first
wife (Jane Butler) had been buried hi
November, 1728. The site of this vault
and burial ground is correctly located on
a chart made from a survey of “Wash¬
ington’s birthplace,” by A. Lindenkohl,
in September, 1879, copies of which chart
can be obtained from the office of the
United States Coast and Geodetic survey
in Washington. The spot is occasionally
visited 5leade by tourists, and was seen by Bishop
in 1857, ivlio describes its neglect¬
ed condition eonditiou as “disgusting.” improved
The has not been
since. The burial ground occupies arch a
space fifty or sixty feet square. An
of the vault fell in many years ago, and
the excavation Ls nearly filled with debris.
Near by are two gravestones, one 1096,
marking the grave of two children (John
and Mildred) of Lawrence Washington,
grandfather of Gen. George Washington. the
The other is over the grave of Jane,
first wife of Augustine Washington, the
father of the General, with the date Nov.
24, 1728. There are other fragments of
gravestones lying around. The whole
place is overgrown with vines and bur¬
docks. It is a question as to who has a
legal title to the plot now. In 1813 Col.
George C. Washington sold the Wake¬
field estate to John Gray, but made a
reservation of the old family burial
ground and sixty feet square at the birth¬
place. In 1858 Col. George C. Washing¬ granted
ton’s son, Lewis Washington,
both spots to the Commonwealth on con¬
dition that they be sutably marked and
enclosed. The Legislature accepted the
grant, but the conditions were noL com¬
plied with. In 1883 the. United States
acquired title to til? sixty feet square at
the birthplace and the other land adjoin¬
ing for the purpose of marking that spot
with a monument, but nothing was done
about the burial ground. In 1887, Con¬
gress made an appropriation for a monu¬
ment at the birthplace. The work, has
at yet been executed.
About Bells.
Bells arc said to have been introduced
by Paulimis, Bishop of They Nole, C'arnpagna, first
about the year 400. were
known in France in 550. The army of
C’lothair II., King of France, was by fright¬
ened from besieging bells. a town King the Egbert un¬
usual clamor of
commanded the church bells to be
sounded at regular intervals. Bells were
used in churches by order of Pope John
IX. about the year 900. As a defense
against thunder and lightning favored the ring¬
