Pedestrians on Fifth nvenuo last Friday ,
relates the Chicago News , were treated to
the unique spectacle of a bugo policeman
carefully ladling spoonfuls of hot coffee onto
the outstretched tongue of a very small
newsboy who stood with bis face pressed
close to nn Iron 'handrail ' and woke the
echoes with his screams. It was all tbo re
sult of a "Joke" on the part of two small
companions of the boy , they having told
him to lick the iron "to ECO bow funny It
feels. " H being below zero weather , of
course tlio tongue stuck fast and the boy , by
vigorous use of bis lungs , became the center
of a. crowd in less than no time.
All sorts of suggestions for relief wore of
fered arid rejected , till the big policeman
brought a cup of hot coffee from a neigh
boring restaurant and "melted him loose , "
as hu explained it. A contribution for the
sufferer w.os in progress of collection when
the disunion was effected , but before It
could be presented the boy had broken
through the crowd and was hotly pursuing
tbo ono who had been his adviser In the ex
periment with the expressed Intention of
"mauling the life out of him "
IllriU nml IIIIlM ,

married man to the milliner who has Im
ported Parisian prices as well as styles.
"It U correct in every Item , " after lookIng -

"Bight dollars for that bird , no bigger

"Yes , sir , and cheap at that. "

1'rovnkliiK Incident * .
Washington ns n business mnn , a farmer
and a public official arc the subdivisions of
an Instructive historical paper by 1'rc.ildent
tcnry Wade Rogers In Sclt-Culturo for Feb
ruary , from which the following extracts are
aken
CUlcf Justice Marshall opens his "Life of
Washington" with the statement that , n §
'his patrimonial csUto was by no uieuna
considerable , his youtU un cmplojcil In
UBuful Industry. " Washington's father was
man of largo possessions , and when bo
died , In 1743 , left his children v\ell provided
tor. But they were rich In land. They had
Ittlo ready Income , nnd wore obliged , there
fore , to cultivate the virtues of Industry
and frugality. In the end George Washing
ton became a rich man , the property ho ro-
celvetl from his father having been much
augmented by what ho received on tbo death
of his brother Law mice , which occurred In
1762. Washington's marriage with Mrs. CUBs -
. \s \ was alto of material benefit to him , Mr.
3ustls having left an estate of more than
1100,000. Washington became ono of the rich
est men In Vlrglula , and therefore ono of
the weal'tilest men In America. That ho waa
very sagacious man of business , giving
attentlcn to every datall and exceedingly
shrewd at a bargain Is well known. Ho wns
a close student of agriculture nnd ever ready
: o take advantage of Improvements In farm-
ng Implements and the manner of working
iU laud Ho wished to bo thought the first ,
farmer In America.
At the tlmo of his death ho wns supposed
lo bo the largest landholder In the country ,
jelng possessed of 51.3DG acres , exclusive of
Iho Mount Vernon cetate , his 'town ' proper
ties and the real estate of his wife Ttie value
of his property ait his death , again excluding
the Mount Vernon estate and the property
of his wife , was estimated at $330,000 The
estate at Mount Vernon Included 8,000 acres
In Tord's "Washington" an account Is
given of the stock on the Mount Vernon
property. It appears that in 1783 Washington
iiad fifty-four draft horses on the- estate , 317
ticad of cattle , 634 sheep and "many" hogs.
Ttio live stock v\as valued at his death at
$35,000. In addition to the draft horses al
ready mentioned , lie had In 1799 "two cov
ering jacks nnd three joung ones , ten she
asses , forty-two working mules and fifteen
younger ones " Mount Vernoa was a com
munity In Itself , Including some 300 persons.
Washington had his own blacksmith shop ,
his own brickmaker and masons , his car
penters , shoemaker and weavers. We can
readily understand how It was that whllo
honns president ho was continually think
ing of Mount Vernon.
"vViixhliigtoii nt n runner.
The manner In which farming was car
ried on In Virginia was very unsatisfactory
to Washington and he did what ho could !
to Improve It. In ono of his letters , written
in 1787 , ho sajs : "I must observe that
there is , perhaps , scarcely any part of
America v\here farming has been less at-
tendqd to than In this state ( Virginia ) .
The cultivation of tobacco has been almost
the sole object with men of landed property
and consequently a regular course of cropa
have never been In view. " He goes on to
say that there are several farmers , himself
among the number , who are adopting the
English system of rotation of crops. In
1785 ho was writing Lord Fairfax to make
Inquiry in England "whether a thorough
bred , practical English farmer , from a part
of England whore husbandry seems to ba
best understood and is most advantageously
practiced , could not bo obtained and upon
what terms ? " He adds that ho has no doubt
that such a man might bo had for very high
wages , "as money wo know will fetch any
thing and command the service of any
man , " and ho is very careful to say "but
with the former I do not abound. " That
was a tlmo when ho was feeling land poor ,
as he did not infrequently , being sometime ! )
compelled to borrow and at others to sell
some of his land holdings. Ho also appears
to have experienced difficulty at times In
getting proper returns and many a farmer
today will sympathize with Washington
when ho wrote to ono of his farm managers ,
In 1799 , as follows : "It Is hoped and will
be expected that more effectual measures
will be pursued to make butter another
jear ; for It is almost bejond belief that ,
from 101 cows actually reported on a lata
enumeration of the cattle , I nm obliged to
buy butter for the use of my family. " This
reads very much like some of the results
achieved Ijy Henry Ward Beecher and Horace
ace Greeley in their attempts at farming.
Washington cultivated his farms , however ,
with much foresight and tbo Instructions
which ho Issued to bis managers would
constitute even now a valuable farm man
ual. These instructions show his great fa
miliarity with all the processes of farming
and stockralalng.

In making appointments Washington wai
governed by three considerations- First
The ntness of the person to nil the office.
Second The comparative merits nnd
" ( sufferings in Bervlce" of the respective
candidates. Third A regard for the geographical
graphical distribution of the nfllcrs , to thn
< < nd that there might bo a distribution of
appointments In as equal a proportion ai
might -be to persons belonging In the differ
ent states , In 1795 , ho stated In a letter to
Timothy Pickering : "I ehall not , whilst I
have the honor to administer the govern
ment , bring a man into any office of consequence
quence knowingly , whose political tcneU
are adverse to the measures which the general -
oral government is pursuing , for this , In
my opinion , would bo sort of political sui
cide. " At the same tlmo no man has over
regarded political parties as more perilous
to the country and his warning In the fare
well address against tbo spirit of party
would do credit to the moat pronounced
mugwump of modern times In 1790 ho
writes1 "I Iia\o never made an appoint
ment from a desire to crvo a friend or re
lation " Again , In the same year , he de
clares : "I can defy malignancy itself to
ascribe partiality or Interested motives to
any of ray nominations , " So determined
was he that no act of his should give occa
sion for calling in question the disinterest
edness of his motives that he laid It down
as a rule of conduct never to give an ap
pointment to a relative , Ills successor ,
John Adams , protested against what ha
styled Washington's "hyper-superlatlvo
public virtue" In this matter. In the
opinion of Mr. Adams a president should
not be Influenced for or against a candidate
by any consideration of his relationship.
Jefferson adopted the principle Ia5u down
by Washington and wrote : "Mr. Adams
degraded himself Infinitely by his conduct
on this subject , as General Washing Vli
had done himself the greatest honor " Mo < ( t
of our presidents , it can bo said to their
credit , have followed the Illustrious exam
ple bet by Washington. The conduct of
General Grant In this particular occasioned
avast amount of criticism , which waa by no
means confined to the party of the opposi
tion.
