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 recommend it to all sufferers with said disease. N. ULMAN. 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."— N. Y. Sun. St. Jacobs Oil is pronounced a most extraordinary cure for rheumatism by Hon. James Harlan, ex-Vice Chan cellor, Louisville, Kv. 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.

I also have a choice stock of Groceries for the city trade.

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 con News.
