CHAPTER I.
Of Georgo Washington's birtb, family
and edeuation Of his mission to
tho French commandant on tho
Ohio- in 1753 His military op
erations as an officer of Virginia
from 1704 to 1758 Subsequent
employments to tho eminence

tion. Chapter 1 1753 to 1758.
Continued from lost week.
Tho distresses of tho inhabitants ex
oocded all disoription. if they went
into stockade forts, they suffered
from tho want of provisions were
ofton surrounded, and sometimes out
off. By flceiug, tlioy abandoned the
oonvonienocs of homo, and tho means
of support. If they continued on their
farms, they lay down every night un
der apprehensions of being murdered
before morning. But this was not
tho worst. Captivity and torturo woro
frequently their portion. To all theso
evils, women, aged persons and child
dron, woro equally liable with men in
arms; for savages make no distinction.
'Extermination is their object. To
Washington tho inhabitants looked
for that protection he had not tho
means of giving. In a letter to tho
governor, he obsorved, tho supplicat
ing tears of tho women, and moving
petitions of tho men, melt mo with
deadly sorrow that I solomuly declare,
if I know my own mind, I could offer
jnyBolf a willing saenfiao to ino butoh
oring enemy, provided that would con
tribute to tho people's case. Virginia
presented a frontier of 3G0 miles, ex
posed to thcBO incursions. Hard was
the lot of Washington, to whom was
intrusted tho defence, of these exten
sive settlements without means ade
quate to tho purpose. Tho regiment
toted by the assembly was never filled.
Its aotual number was moro ofton be
low than above 700 men. Tho militia
afforded a very fceblo aid, on which
little relianoo could bo placed. They
slow in collecting, and whon collected,
soon began to hanker after home; and
whilo in camp, could not submit to
that discipline, without which an
army is a mob. Tho militia laws were
very defcotivo. Cowardice in time of
aotioD, and elcopine; while on duty,
though orimes of most destruotivo
nature, wcro very inadequately pun
ished by tho oivil code under which
they took tho field. Doacrtioa and
mutiny, for some considerable time,
subjooted the offenders to nothing
more than slight ponalties. Washing
ton was incessant in his representa
tions to tho governor and to tho as
sembly, that no reliance could bo
placed on tho malitia, under existing
regulations, and that the inoonsidcr
ablo number, enlisted for regular ser
vice, together with tho plans proposed
for tho securities of tho frontiers,
wero altogether inadequate. He not
only pointed out tho dofoct of the sys
tems which had been adopted, but
submitted to tho consideration if
those in power, such measures as ho
thought best, and particularly recom
mended, la caso offensivo operations
wero not adopted, that twenty-two
extending in a line of 3G0 miles,
should bo immediately creotcd and
garrisoned by 2,000 mon, in constant
pay and service; but on all occasions
gave a deoided preference to tho re
duction Df Fort Duquesne, as tho only

the frontier settlements wcro exposed.
Propositions to this effect wcro made
and urged by him in 175G and 1757,
both to tho government of Virginia,
and tho commanders in ohicf of the
British forces in America; but a short
sighted policy in tho first, and prefer
anco given by tho last to a vigorous
prosecution of the war in the northern
colonics, prevontcd their acceptance.
To his inexpressible joy, tho project
obtained, in tho year of 1758, tho
completo approbation of Gen. Forbes,
who was charged with the defenco oi
tho middlo and southern colonics.
This being resolved upon, tho move
ments of the army wcro directed to
that point. Part of tho forco destined
for this expedition was at Philadel
phia; part at Say's Town; and part
dispersed on tho frontiers of Virginia.
To bring all together was a work of
tinio and difficulty. Washington
urged the necessity of an early cam
paign; but such delays took place that
ho did not rcooivo orders to assemble
his regiment at Winchester, till tho
24th of Maj; nor to proceed from
thence to Fort Cumberland, till the
24th of June; nor to proceed to Ray's
Town, till tho 2d of October, and it
was as lato as tho 25th of November
when they reached Fort DuqucBno.
These dolays wero extremely mortify
ing to Washington, and thicatcned to
render tho campaign abortive Ho
urged tho noccssity of expedition, and
most pointedly remonstrated against
ono of the priccipal causes of delay.
This was a resolution adopted by his
superiors, for opening a now road for
tho army, in prefcrance to that whioh
was generally known by the name of
Gen. Braddook's. Being overruled ho
quietly submitted. Instead of em
barrassing measures ho thought in
judicious, the whole energies of him
self and his regiment wero exerted to
mako tho most of thoso which his
commanding officer preferred. Tho
progress of tho army was so slow that
it did not rcaoh Loyil Hannah till
the 5th of November. Hero it was
determined in a council of war, to bo
unadviBablo to prooecd any further
that campaign. If this resolution
had been adhered to tho only
alternative would havo been to
winter an army of .8,000 men in a
oold hospitable wilderness, rcmoto
from all friendly settlements, or to
tread back their stops and wait for a
more favorablo season. In oither
caso thoy would havo suffered immen
sely. The propriety of tho remons
trances mado by Washington against
the many delays whioh had taken
placo, now becamo obviously striking.
Tho hopes of restoring peace to the
frontier settlements by reducing Fort
Duquesne, began to vanish, But
contrary to all human appearances,
success was now offered to their grasp
at tho very moment they had given
up every hope of obtaining it.
Some prisoners wcro taken, who
gavo such information of tho state of
tho garrison, as induced a rovcrsal of
tho lato determination, and encour
aged tho general to proceed, Wash
ington was in front superintending
the opening of the road for the ac
comodation of tho troops. They ad
vanced with slow and oautious Bteps
until thoy reached Fort Duquesne.
To their great surpriso they found tho
fort evacuated, and thai tho garrison
bad retreated down the Ohio river,
The reasons for tho abandonment of
so advantageous a position, must bo
looked for elsewhere. British hnd
urged tho war with so much vigor and
rucccss ogainst tho French Mo tho
northward of tho Ohio, that no rein
forcements could be spared to Fort
Duquesne.
Tho British fleet had captured a
Cloud, Webster County,
oonaidorablo part of tho reinforce
ments designed by Franco for her col
onics. Tho tide of forluno had begun
to turn ogainst tho French in favor
of tho English. This weakened tho
influence of tho former over tho In
dians, and caused thtin to withdraw
from tho support of tho garrisou,
Under different circumstances, the
sucocss of the compaign would have
been doubtful, perhaps impracticable.
Tho benefits which resulted from the
acquisition of Fort Duquesne, proved
tho soundness of Washington's judg
ment in so waunly urging, for thrco
years, an expedition for its reduction.
These were not oonfined to Virginia,
but extended to Pcnn'ylvama and
Maryland. While the French woro
in possession of that post, tho Indians
near tho Ohio wcro entirely at thtir
beck. This was their placo of ren
dezvous, and from it thoy mado fre
quent and runious incursions into
theso three colonics. Thoy neither
spared ago nor sex, but killed or cap
tivated indiscriminately all who camo
in their way. Fin and devastation
tho scalping knifo and tomahawk,
marked their route. A oamplcto rev
olution in tho disposition of tho In
dians, resulted from the expulsion of
the French. Always prono to take
part with tho strongest, tho Indians
desortcd their anoiout friends, and
paid court to thoso who, by recent
conquest, wcro now in possession of
tho country. A treaty nf peace wob
soon after conoluded with all tho In
dian tribes between tho lakes and tho
Ohio. Fort Duquosno henceforward
assumed tho namo of Fort Pitt, re
ceived considerable repairs, and was
garrisoned by 200 men from Washing
ton's regiment. It became as useful
in tho future to tho English settle
ments, as it had been injurious while
in the occupation of tho French.
Tho campaign of 1758 ended tho
military career of Col. Washington,
as a provincial officer. Tho great ob
ject on which his heart was set, tho
rcduotion of Fort Duquesne, boing
accomplished, ho resigned his com
mand. During tho thrco preceding years
in which ho was charged with tho de
fenco ot Virginia, nono of thoso great
events ooourrcd which enliven and
adorn tho pago of history; yet the
duties ho performed wero extremely
arduous. Ho cstabliscd exact disci

MATTJR AND ELECTMOITY.
Guthrie, a standard authority en
electricity, and especially on experi
ments with magnetism and electricity,
says: "Thcro seems to bo a greater at
tachment between matter and plus
olcctrioity, than between matter and
minus electricity, and although we
may suppose an equal motion of the
oleetrioiticH in tho discharge, yot the
plus electricity is accompanied by
matter, both that of tho surrounding
air and the solid of which the plusly
charged body is composed.
Tho abovo argues that bodies of
matter are organized or formed by
atoms of matter falling into bodies of
elcetrioity, whioh later would bo plus
electricity by tho two-fluid theorists
whilo the ono fluid theorists would
call it tho plus, or largor, .r that
whioh contains more olectrioity to tho
oubio inob than docs other cubic in
ohos surrounding it. If wo carry out
this idea to its legitimate results wo
find how worlds aro mado, how all
bodies of matter aro organized.
Tho tendenoy of all bodies of mat
ter is to assume a round, globular or
spherical ahape. Evidences aro in
the direction that electricity, is in
clined to assume tho same form. If
there was no electricity, especially if
thcro were no clcotrospheres, there
could be no accumulations of con
densed matter.
In ene sense an elcctrosphere is a
body similar to a body of wator as
found in tho ocean. Tho latter is net
a running stream, but thcro are groat
rivers running through it, tho gulf
stream for iustaico. So with the
comparatively quiet atmosphere sur
rounding tlio earth in which thcro are
constant ourronts, down-pours from

through tho lows. Elcotrosphcrcs
havo similar currents passing through
them, and thcie currents carry the
atoms of matter and depeait them at
tho center of the clcotrosphoro, lay
ing the foundations of an earth, a
moon, a eomot or a sun,
It is well known that electricity
keeps on tho outsido of matter, or at
least a very large portion is found on
tho outsido of bodicB of matter; there
fore, in tho formrtion of worlds, whon
tho first atom has found its way to
tho eenter of an elcotrosphero, the lat
ter auBt havo expanded or moved out
in ordor to give bpaco for tho atom.
iwo tnings uannot occupy tlio samo
spaco at tho same time, and this law
must apply to electricity as well as to
matter,
Theso laws may bo applied to tho
weather in this way; Tho low barome

that body, from all points of tho com
pas?, matter falls, rushing toward the
center of it, forming a storm centor,
with clouds, more or less dense, com
posed of water and gasscs.
Tho elcctrosphere that forms that
storm center is to the moisturo and
gasscs what water is to cork, and the
former immediately riso on entering
it, causing tho upward and circular
movements of tho storm eenter. Aa
the clouds of transparent miostuto en

their gross maltor, go out at. tlio top,
leaving tho gross mattor in tho form
of clouds, in the low, where thoy
ovcnlually fall to tho earth in the
form of rain or snow.
Tho elcotrio curronts out in spaco
bring togcthor not only moisture and
gasscs but mero solid atoms of matter,
and thus all the suns, planets, worlds,

Thcro can be no question as lo the

Don't Breed too many Marcs.
There are at the present time too
many horses on the farms of Kansas
for them to be a souroe of profit to
thoir breoJers. However, if you have
one or two good marcs of fair lice,
say from 1000 to 1200, of good eolor,
toppy and fairly well-gaited, of good
disposition and sound, begin at onee
to look around for a stallion of equal
morlt. Consider Grst his general
mako-up, culur, size, shapo and size of
bone, disposition, tempermont, the
mildness of his eyo, etc, and if you
aro suited in all of thoso things, look
next to his breeding and that of his
ancestors, Sco that he is in line with
tho fashionable familios, thoso whoso
representatives are selling for remun
erative prioos. Select one whoso
family has always been, and is still
a producer of morit. If you find ono
near at hand that moots tho abovo re
quirements, ono that comes directly
from tho greatost breeding-oo aires in
tho world, improve your opportunity
and don't fritter away timo and money

reaions for this, one of the strongest
of whioh is that the southern states,
whieb aro our boat markets, have gen
erally a light soil to cultivate and de
not care for large, clumsy hones.
Tho lighter horso is also moat in de
mand in the cities, probably twenty te
one. lbs oastern people, too. always
prefer the all-purpose horse, the peo
ple of the northwest and central states
alone choesing the larger horses,
those adapted to agricultural purposes
only. It is safe to say, taking the
nation as a whole, that for every
single instance where a heavy hen
is demanded, where a light one will
not answer, there are forty where the
light horses are wanted and used.
Hence, our conclusion that while the
farmer oannot afford to fool with trot
ing hers'es as trotting horses only, he
can and should, as he is breeding for
profit, raiso the kind that sells the
best, and tho beat sellers of to-day
aro the moat fashionable of the trotting
horses of Amerioa. Not only are they
the best sellers of tho present, bat
they will be in demand for all time to
come.
Now as to the word fashionable
That means what is in favor at the
present time, not something of the
past, and tbo most fashionable is that
which always has been, and still is, ia
fashion. Conspieuous among the
fashionable families are the great
Hambeltonian strains; first thretgh
the Wilkes tribe; next the Almonte;
after these tho Belmonts, Natwoods,
McGregors, Electioneers, Kentucky
Princes, etc, etc Now if you oan
find a good type of tho first named
family, within easy reaob, and have
something his equal in make-up, breed
to him, Feed the dam from that day
forward until her oolt comes and is
weaned, foed and shelter the foal un
til you have sold it, and yon need
havo no fear that tho price will not be
satisfactory. But bo sure to get rid
of your plugs at any price for they
will novor be worth anything; the daj
for plug horses is past. Western
