no outer nun oouiu im*? uouu vjmi did. Modern historians hare but little idea of the difficulties Washington experienced. Outside of his position as general in chief there were bo many things to worry and annoy him. The ohief military trouble was with his own intimato friends, relating to questions of rank. Especially difficult was General Washington's position when Lafayette came to onr aid, and congress, as you know, made him a major general at once. This action greatly offended the older officers, hot headed fellows, sturdy, dashing fighters?generals of origadOR, and colonels who had made the continental lino what it was?and yet they had to take their orders from a man bat 22 years of age, who had never been ander fire and was even enable at first to communicate with his officers except through an interpreter." "In the pacification of these officers General Washington showed the greatest tact," said General Butler. " *Yos, gentlemen,' hesaid to them, 'it is true that Lafayette is but 22, that ho was made a major general by congress upon my recommendation. What else could I do? He brought us 12,000 stand of the best muskots Europe could produce' (the French mnsket of that day weighed 0 pounds, was very carefully made, had a particularly good lock, while the English fire lock weighed 11 pounds, and its lock was clumsy, badly fitted and very prone to miss fire) 'and 6,000 snbors, 2,000 pairsof military pistols and bits for bridles, and tho stirrups and other ironwnrlr fnv tofMl-n 1?...-1 . ,,'wv ?... Duuuivn, ut'ciiiuo i,ouu cavalry carbines or musketoons. Without these anus we could never have equipped our army. Then ho brought and caused to be sent to us about $500,000 in gold. It is not too much to say that but for Lafayette's aid just at the timo it came our army must have boen disbanded for want of equipment and arms.' "These representations soon quieted the. testy and hot blooded continental generals when they wero mado in his forciblo way by General Washington." A Rello of Washington's Time. At the foot of Ward's heroic statue of Washington on the high steps of the subtrcasnry building is a broad piece of stone carefully ooverod with a wiro grating. It is so placed that should the image of tho immortal Father of His . Country come to life and step down from his lofty pedestal ho would stand on the same spot where occurred the crowning triumph of his career. Through the protecting grating euu bo read the following dim inscription, "Standing on-this stone, in tho balcony of Federal hall, April iJO, 1T8U, George Washington took tho oath as lirst prcsidont of < tho United States of America." When < old Federal hall was demolished, tho , sacred stone was carefully preserved, | and it now occupies as nearly as possible tho same position as before. Fow people have ever noticed it 011 the hi?h of the statue, whore it is littiugly placed , os ouc of the relics of tho nation's birth.
