The Washington Family.
At the dedication of the Washington
National monument invitations were
sent to nearly 300 members of the
Washington family by direct descent
or by collateral marriages. Thirteen
gentlemen bearing the name of Wash
ington sat together on the, lloorof the
House of Representatives on the oc
easion of the dedicatory services, and
besides, in the gallery, there were
thirty ladies who claimed kindred
with* the family. Washington, of
course, had no direct decendants, but
he had two half brothers and one half
sister, all of whom had families. His
sister Betty married and left a large
family. His two brothers, Charles
and Samuel, both married and settled
in the valley of Virginia on large and
most productive farms. Charleston,
the county seat of Jefferson county,
W. Va., was named after Charles
Washington. |His brother Samuel
owned an adjoining plantation of
nearly 2,000 acres of land. Samuel
was married five times, though he
died at the age of forty-six. The de
cendants of Samuel are very nume
rous. Those of Charles, however, are
comparatively few. The Washington
families are most numerous in Virgin
ia, Tennessee, and Kentucky, but a
considerable number of them also re
side in Ohio, Minnesota, Pennsylva
nia, California, and Georgia, where
they usually settled on the most pro
ductive farm lands. As another char
acteristic it may be stated that they
are unambitious for public position,
but whenever they have filled posi
tions of trust they have discharged
their duties with fidelity. The ability
of Judge Bushrod Washington, a
member of the Supreme Court, aud
his able reports, will suggest them
selves to the minds of every one.
George C. Washington, who repre
sented a Maryland district in Con
gress, was a man of fair ability. It
was his son, Louis A. Washington,
who was captured by John Brown,
taken to Harper's Ferry, and shut
up with him when he was beseiged
by the United States Marines and ta
ken. A few other Washingtons have
studied law, and some medicine, but
most of them take to mathematics,
surveying, and farming. When they
have engaged in merchandising it has
usually been in connection with the
management of their estates. Both
the full brothers of Washington were
deceased before the General. The
General died possessed of large a-
mounts of excellent land in Virginia,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and devised
these lands to his nephews, who were
in consequence put in possession of
considerable estates that made them
independent, influential, and prospe
rous citizens in the neighborhoods
where they lived. They nearly all
married young and left families. The
Washingtons have always been fond
of the gun, and the most noted horse
men of the section in which they liv
ed. There personal appearance, as a
class, has been characterized by tall,
large boned frames and strong, well
cut features. In their habits they
are social and hospitable to a degree
of extravigance. They have been free,
good livers, and occasionally some
have indulged too freely in spirits, but
eases of inebriates among them are
exceptions.—Ben: Perley Poore.
Tendered a Reception.
New York, Oct. 27.—The members
of the Produce Exchange tendered a
grand reception to the French dele
gates. M. Bartholdi made a few re
marks in English, and M. De Lesseps
and one of the members of the Cham
ber of Deputies spoke in French. The
glee club of the Exchange sang the
Marseillaise when the delegates made
their appearance in the gallery.
I suffered with rheumatism in the
shoulder for months and the only
thing I found that did me any good
was Salvation Oil. It cured me and

1 Pearl St. Baltimore, Md.
A locomotive pulled into a station
and stopped, though the water was
still in motion, with its monotonous
plunging. “Oh, mamma,” exclaimed
a little girl on the platform, “that
engine is awful tired. It is puffing
and blowing just the way pa does
after he has climbed up the stairs."—

Capitalists’ Confidence in Ireland.
Dublin, Oct, 25.—The Dublin Gro
cers and Vintners' Society to-day
adopted a resolution praying the New
Guinness Company to allot an equita
ble proportion of the shares to Irish
applicants. It has been learned that
the Bank of Ireland, on behalf of its
customers, has applied for £6,000,000
worth of shares, and three Dublin
stock brokers £500,000 worth each. It
is now believed the capital will be
subscribed twenty fold. The Parnel-
lites exultingly point to this as proof
that capitalists have ample confidence
in Ireland.
ADVICE TO MOTHERS.
Are you disturbed at night and broken of your
rest by a sick child suffering and crying with
pain of cutting teeth? If so, send at once and
get a bottle of MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING
SYRUP FOR CHILDREN TEETHING. Its value
is incalculable. It will relieve the poor little suf
ferer immediately. Depend upon it, mothers
there is no mistake about it. It cures dysentery
and diarrhoea, regulates the stomach and bow
els, cures wind colic, softens the gums, reduces
nfiammation, and gives tone and energy to the
Whole system. MRS. WINSLGW'S SOOTHING
SYKI P FOR CHILDREN TEETHING is pleasant
to the taste, and is the prescription of one of the
oldest and best female nurses and physicians in
the United States and is for sale by all druggists
tbronehont the world, price 25 cents a bottle.

PLANTATION SUPPLIES
—AND—
Agricultural Implements'.
-I have a full stock of-
Groceries and Provisions, Bagging and Ties,
And am prepared to meet the demands of all who may favor me
with their patronage for Plantation Supplies of all kinds, at prices
that cannot be excelled in this section. I also have a choice stock
of Groceries for the city trade.
As the prosperity of every country depends upon the success of
agriculture, and realizing the necessity of thet horough breaking of
land and cultivation of the crop, I have supplied myself with a
large lot of two and one horse Plows of the best makes, consisting of
the Syracuse, Benton <fc Harber, White’s Clipper, Meikle’s Blue
Pony and the Boss, and I also have a large lot of Steel Plows,
Haiman and Southern Plow Stocks, single and double, and farming
implements generally.
And to all who would like to have a Pump put in their wells, I
would recommend the Buckeye Force Pump, •which myself and
many others have been using with perfect satisfaction for some
time. All who wish to supply themselves with any of the above
articles will do well to call and examine my stock and get my prices
before buying elsewhere.

WARREN.
Mr. Kit Warren, editor of the Ida-
con News modestly says :
A man named Warren was arrested
and jailed in Louisville, Ky., last
week under the charge of having
committed a crime. He is the first
man of that name that ever was taken
in charge by an arresting officer since
Christopher Columbus discovered the
United States. The Warrens are be
hind on getting in jail, and we hope it
will be a long time before they catch
up. That Louisville Warren, so call
ed, is probably dodging behind an
assumed name.
Several of our contemporaries boast
of their beautiful college girls. We
don't boast; we are not a bragging
man nor the son of a bragging man;
but simple justice requires us to say
that the young men of Macon are
compelled to use smoked glass in look
ing at the bright faces of the Wesley
an girls. Maybe our neighbors can
beat that record and maybe not.—Ma
