Too little atten tion haa beeu paid to these i place and historians might make a very interesting study of the great leader's headquarters should they de Tote to the matter time and care. As it is, with the de cay of niao? of these ancient rjniJdiaa there is likely to pass away in teresting relics of the early history of uoi country which should be preserved for the instruction and edification of pos terity. In this article pictures are given of some few of these interesting places where Washington and his generals lived and which were the background for deeds and counsels so Important in our eotm try's early life. It was in April, 1770, that Washington first went to New Torfc and took up his neaairuarters mere. Tbcy were in a house on Peari street, opposite Cedar. There he remained until summoned to risit Congress at Philadelphia toward the end of May. On his return, June d, he took up his abode at the Mortimer house, later known as Richmond Hill. The presence of Mrs. Washington and the un healthy condition of the city of New York at that time induced the command-er-in-chief to change his headquarter from the Pearl street house to tins mure aaJubriona situation. Here Washington remained until the evacuation in Septem ber, when he removed to the Roger Mor ris honse, Harlem Heiehts. it was October 23, lTTd, that VTashini' "ttia established himself at White Plains. His headquarters here were at the Miller house, then located to the north of ths Tillajre. This house, which is still stand ing and well preserved, (tallied its name from its original owner.

By Sunday, August 10, 1777, the army had moved from Hchnylkill Falls and Washington had iaken up his headquarters at Nesha niiuy camp. Bucks County. Pa., twenty ' mi'-t north of Philadelphia. The house oc .pied by Washington am built of Ktone, and is still st-ndine on the old New Y rk road, near the Uridse over the little N't Jiaminy creek, about half a mile above he prewiit village ('' ilnrtsville.

Washington made his head qaartera at Steuton, the old homestead of the Logan family. It was daring the autumn of 1777 that Washington established headquarters at White Marsh. These were at a large stone house abont half a mile east from Camp Hill station, on the North Pennsyl vania Railroad. This house is still stand ing. It faces the south and is two and a half stories in height It was modern ized in 1804 tnd a large wing, originally the dining hall, removed from the west end. Id Revolutionary days it was a sort of "baronial hall," owned by George Em- Jen, a wealthy Philadelphia. Charles T. Aiman is the present owner and occupant. A very interesting building is the house Washington occupied at Valley Forge in 1777-1778. It is still standing and is in a good state of preservation. About it are gathered many associations, which are calculated to move the patriotic per son deeply. In June, 1781, Washington moved from West Point, where he had been for some TKM MKBHAMIMY HEADQUARTERS. time, to Morriitown, N. J. Here he made his headquarters at the home of the widow of Col.

This dwellinc which is still standing, is a large two-story brick building, in ap pearance a stately colonial mansion. fronting upon a long narrow common called the Palace Green. During to a Revolution it was the home of George Wythe, one of the signer of the Declara tion of Independence, and for more than twenty years sole chancellor of Virginia. Since the days that Washington occu pied It the Wythe house has passed through various hands. For many years it was the home of John Page, Governor of Virginia, and afterward of his widow. r"2?

During this lengthy eriod his headquar ters were at the house of Benjamin Chew, No. 110 South Third street, be twe4n Walnut and Kprnce streets. One of the lest places where Washing ton established himself was at Newburg. He arrived there from Philadelphia and joined the main srmy, which had been ordered to proceed to that point The house in which the quarters of the commander-in-chief were located was situat ed on a bluff which overlooks the Hudson for eight miles to West Paint From this outlook he could ascertain it one when the enemy's ships broke throngh the bar- HEADQLABTKBS MOBHISTOWS, riers which obstructed them and began to ascend the river and tnke such steps as he deemed necessary. The house was erected In 1750 and stands to-day just as it did during Washington's occupancy. It is a plain one-story building, with a high sloping roof mnch higher than the body of the house. It is built of stone with walls two feet thick. The roof is supported by long timbers of red cedar, rough hewn, which to this day give out the delicate perfume of this wood. The main room on the first floor is low, with heavy rough-hewn timbers sustaining the floor above and is called "the room of seren doors and one window." On one side is a huge open fireplace big enough to roast an ox in. Standing on the hearth stone one can look up the tall chimney and see the sky above. This property remained In the posses sion of the Hasbrouek family nntll 1849, when the title became vested in the State of New York.

Military Brutality, The German army hag long been no torious for the brutal manner In whlclt the private soldiers were treated by the non commissioned officers and oth er officers. The syrtem wan inaugurat ed by the Great Frederick, and the mil itary authorities .since his day eeemed, ud willing to allow it to die out Hap pily the present Emperor neems de' ternilned to have none of It His Ira pprlal rescript on the subject forbid ding any officer to strike his men made some sensation when It was Issued, though It wh commonly said In army circles Uiat It would soon be a dead let ter. A few recent caws prove the con trary. A well-known officer was recently dismissed from the service with Igno miny for the offense of striking a man in the ranks, the Emperor pereoimlly Indorsing the order for his dMmlHsal with a severe and cutting remark. LnM week at Breslau a sergeant who waa charged with Ill-treating a soldier was tried for the offense by a council of war, was sentenced to two years' Im prisonment In a fortress, nnd when his sentence 1ms expired to rejoin his regiment as a soldier of the second class. Robert Peel, the statesman, was a singularly thoughtful child, and often puzzled bis father, who was a day la borer, with bewildering questions. The old man once said, 'That lad's too deep for me altogether." CHAPTER XI. OCTSIDE A FlMi MONGER'S WI.VDOW. In ln ton. H folk ill together are put.

Of course sbe could have had almost any partners sbe chose; for tbe fume of her had begun to be whispered, and the tashionable woHd was on the alert about tbe pretty heiress. Every one waa asking his neighbor about her , mm comings and golncs, tbe genuiaenets of her charms, and tha extent of her rent roll. Old and young alike thought that an introduction, even it it went no further, could ao no harm.
