WASHINGTON WAKED IP.
| THE GREAT GENERAL ASTONISHED ON
HIS BIRTHDAY.
I lly Revolutionary Cannon Ball to The Morning
Journal, N. Y.
Mt. Vernon, Feb. 22, 1784.—
“Step right in do hallway, lah, an’
I III spoke to do Uen’ral. lie
! spec’s some folks to call bimeby,
I ’case it am his bufday.”
The giinning darkey took Tiif.
| Jolunai. reporter’s bat and over
coat and placed them carefully on
tho old-fashioned square tabic and
hurried up stairs to inform bis mas
ter of the arrival. The hallway of
the Washington homestead was
comfortable with respect to roomi
ness, hut rather chilly. There
were no chandeliers suspended
from the ceiling and nothing on
the walls but whitewash.
The General descended the stairs
slowly and with accustomed dig
nity. His wig had been nicely
powdered and the end of his queque
was adorned with a blue ribbon.
Large brass buttons fastened iiis
trousers at the knee anil bright
silk stockings displayed the grace
ful outlines of bis muscular calf and
tapering ankle. A handsome,
square cut coat—opened snfllcient
ly to display a tremendous shirt
rullie—clung nicely to his shoul
ders. Ruffles were at his wrists
and a high maroon-colored stock
adorned adorned his neck and
kept hi, chin at an clovation which j The dnrkcv seemed glad to get
comported with tho high persona! i out. When'lie had gone the Gen
character of the man. ! oral gazed at the reporter sternly.
When he had reached the land- j “Young man,” Raid he, “when I

said the reporter, “I’ll go right
over to the telegraph offlcc, and
send a dispatch for you. John
Adams will have it in live min
utes.”
The General smiled, and then
leaning hick in his chair nnd cross
ing his knees, seemed prepared to
hear anything. The reporter talk
ed to him about railroads, Atlantic
catles, telegraph poles and first-
class barber shops, and had begun
n vivid description of , Coney
Island steamboat when the General
checked him.
“Don't talk to me that way, ‘m;
friend. It’s really ridiculous. J
may he nil well enough to put
such things in your newspaper for
the purpose of exciting the public
mind, hut you might ns well say
thn^ I could converse witli a man
at the other end of Alexandria as
assert that anybody can get a host
against the tide without the aid of
horses.”
“I admit tlint it requires horse
power—about forty-horse power,”
said the rcpor'.er.
“I am glad,” said the General
"that your senses have returned.
“But you can talk with a man in
Alexandria, for nil that,” said the
reporter; "and you needn’t stir
from your own room to do it. All
you need is a telephone attach
ment.”
“Sam," said the General, "leave
the room."

dchted for the honor of this visit?”
The reporter explained that ho
had been detailed by The Moiinino
Jouknal to write up a description
of his birth day celebration.
The Morninu JounNAi.?” said
the General, looking at his visitor
inquisitively. “What’s that?”
“A New York newspaper, sir,”
replied the reporter.
Never heard of it,” said the
General. “It seems to me, though,
that when I was over there at the
ft vacation I did hear tlmt Noah
Webster thought of starting a
newspaper. However, we won’t
discuss that now. You’ve Imd a
two week's toilsome Journey nnd
had better come upstairs and rest
yourself."
I left New York early this mor
ning, sir,” remarked the reporter.
The General, who was about to lead
the way upstairs, turned around
nnd eyed h,s visitor critically.
“Probably I misunderstood you,"
said he. “Please say tint again?”
Tho reporter did so.
“Young mnn,” said the General
in solemn tones, “let me give you
a piece of advice. Don't begin
life by lying. My stage-coach is
the swiftest in the country, and
I've four horses that trot together
a mile in live minutes. It took me
nine days to get home Irom New
York, and you will pardon me when
I aver that you couldn’t have coach
ed it in twice the time. However,
come upstairs and sit down. You
interest me.”
“Ah,” sighed the General, as he
opened the door of the reception-
room and wavcil the reporter to a
seat in a tall, straight-backed arm
chair, “here we arc at last."
Very cold here, General, why
rupted the reporter.
"That's funny,” mused the Gen
eral. “I don’t remember ever to
have told it to anybody.
‘But say, young man, if ever
you come to Mount Vernon again
I hope you will bring a little com
mon sense along with you.”
Tho reporter thanked the Gener
al and expressed the hope that
when that time came the latter
would have steam-pipes in his
house. When the reporter reach
cd the door he struok a match, lit
a cigar and calling a cab was whirl
cd over to tho railroad station—
proceedings which the General ob
served with undisguised astonish
ment.
IVlint Prelection Costs Hie People.
The imports of dutiable goods
during the Inst fiscal year amount
ed in round numbers to $515,000,-
000. The average duty on the same
was 42.8 per cent., or $210,000,000
which was paid by the people for
the sake of the protection. This is
almost half of the amount of the
value of tlie goods, and divided
equally between the fifty millions
of people In tho country would be
$4.20 per head. This is all that is
in sight tlmt each man, woman and
child paid for the sake of protec
tion. When wc consider the fact
tlmt four or five times this amount
per head wan paid in the purchase
of merchandise, machinery, etc., of
which no account has beon, yon
can get soma idea what protection
costs. And who receives tho ben
efit of all this enormous tax ? The
manufactures, and they arc few as
compared to the wholo population.
Is it any wonder that there arc a
few very rich men in the United
States ? No: not when we consul-
The Hennery.
ThomesrUl* Times. '
Dr. W. C. Davis, who recently
moved from low* and located In
Thomasville, has established • hen
nery on his residence lot on Vjfarren
street. Wo called a few days ago
to witness the modus operand! and
found the Doctor ready to shown*
through and explain tho procesief
artificial batching and r*ising of
chickens. His incubator is the
“Perfect Hatcher,” (manufactured
in Klmyra, N. Y.,) the patent most
highly esteemed in this snd the
old country. Jts capacity Is about
acifcy is i
800 eggs, and while' perfect in Its
country,
J eggs, at
>rking is so simple that one could
easily leara to operate it. It occu
pies but little space, contains two
rows of slieIves,or drawers, running
the entire length, upon wbich the
eggs are placed, and is warmed by-
two iron tubes or flues, running one
beneath snd the other above the
shelves. Two small kerosene lamps
connecting with flues, supply the
heat, and this is. automatically con-
trolled after the maohinery has been
set to any desired temperature.
The temperature adopted by the
Doctor ranges from 99 to 10*1 de
gress. The winding op.of the ma
chinery once in 24 or 48 hours and
keeping the lamps supplied with oil
is about all the attention necessary.
This is briefly the incubator. Ad
joining this department is a small
enclosure whiob serves a* a play
ground for tho little ohicks while
they require the piotectioo of the
“Brooder.” The brooder is s long
box warmed in a manner similar to
that of the incubator, with glass
cover, ventilators and appertures
for the ingress and egress of the
chicks.
Over a little frame Just above the
lower flue is spread a cloth or blank
et with the edges extending over
the sides and near the ground. Un
der this the little cbieks roost as
snug and warm as if under a moth
er, and soon learn to seek it at
night or when seeking shelter from
the rain or cold. When large
enough to uo longer need the pro
tection of the brooder, the chicks
are turned Into other and larger
apartments, where they are regu
larly fed and supplied with com
fortable roosting places.
The Doctor has bad bis hchery
in opperation but a short time, and
first tested bis Incubator with 48
eggs, of which 45 hatched. These
are now four weeks old and. only
one has been lost and 090, was
killed by accident. When we were
there his second batching—several
hundred eggs—was Just coming off.
Dozens of little fellows abontaday
old, were chirping lively and strong
in their warm nest, others werejnst
out, while still others were “pip
ing” tho shells. These #1U be
