THE TRUE WASHINCTON.
The Father of His Country a Century
After Hit Death.
Apropos of the centenary of Wash
ington's death the editor of the Cef,
tury comments thus upon the life and
fane of the first president:
It can be said that not only the
fame of Washington has greatene:l
during the century that has flown
since hi deathl, but the knowledge
and understanding of him have like
wise largely increased. The sculptor,
Daniel French, in the Washington
that he has nodeiel* for the Paris
monument, has expressed the gran
deur of his fame. Here, with sword
and brow lifted toward heaveu,he ap
pears as a world-hero; there is some
thing of the demigod, of the creature
of traditiou, of myth, in attitude and
aspect.
To be sure, there was an unusual
dignity about the person and reputa
tion of this hero, both during the
time of his greatest a#tivity and later
in his career. There are none Low
living who can make direct report cf
the effect of his presence upon be
holders, but there are many who-have
had from those who saw him an ac
count, at first hand, of this effect.
The present writer can never forget a
description of his appearance, from
the lips of. an old gentlewoman who
has been one of the band of children
who strewed flowers i)ef6id i: at
Trenton, on his way to his inaugura
tion at New York. And, besides,there
are many printed records of the dignity
of his :earing, and the impression of
majesty proiuced upon individuals
and the multitude.
As this country has grown, and as
the imuortance of his work is moro
ad more appreciated, and, too, as he
regedes in distance, Washington's truo
prtportions are appreciated, and he
loos ever more grandly. Compared,
indeed with the unselfishness of his
actions and the nobility of his aims,
