Wanted In Ita Old A«e.
Captain Blake, the man who com
mands the steamboat that runs
daily from Washington to Mount
Vernon and who was an old forty
niner seeking a fortune after the
California fashion, is a good deal of
«?c!g. Hearing told the other day
the story about the tree in the White
House grounds that was said to
have been planted by Adams, he re
called an incident occurring in the
neighborhood of what was soon to
be Idaho City that seemed to be per
tinent to the suggestion that a tree
blown down in the White House
grounds bad been planted by Adams,
The story is repeated by the cor
respondent of the New York Times.
"We have some old trees," said the
oaptain, "at Mount Vernon, and
was guilty one day of diverting
lady visitor to Washington's tomb
with a 'whopper' to keep up the tra
dition. On the way up the hill from
the landing I pointed out an oak
tree said to have been planted by
Washington. I told the lady so and
asserted that Washington was ac
customed to come out and sit under
its shade to get a view of the Poto
mao as it swept along. I also added
that bis favorite tree was about 600
years old. The lady did not under
stand thiB, particularly as it was
not supported by evidence." Cap
tain Blake explained that, although
Washington planted the tree and
lived to sit under its shadow, the
story was true. "The fact is, mad
am," he said, "that the tree was
about 400 years old when it was
planted." The lady did not ask the
captain another question during her
visit
The History of the IuQ|«ntlon Pall,
The inauguration ball dates from
the very beginning. There was
ball when Washington was inaugu
rated in New York, but owing to the
pressure of other demands upon his
time it did not take plaoe till the
evening of March 7. Washington
attended and performed a minuet
with Miss Van Zand and danced
cotillons with Mrs. Peter Van
Brugh Livingston, Mrs. Maxwell
and others. There was no ball at
his second inauguration because of
its extremely quiet character, and
there was none when Mr. Adams
oame in because of the general grief
over Washington's departure. I can
find no mention of a1all when Jef
ferson was inaugurated, but there
was one when Madison came in, and
since then there has been no break
in the custom. There were two when
Polk was inaugurated,. and two
when Talyor succeeded him—an ad
ministration and an opposition ball
on each occasion, both very well at
tended. The crush was so groat at
the Taylor administration ball that
many persons narrowly escaped in
jury, and there were loud complaints
because of the inadequate supply of
refreshments.—Joseph B. Bishop in
Century.

Shelby and the Negro.
The late Confederate General Shel
by stood up for tbe rights of tbe ne
gro on one occasion in a way that
entitles him to high praise. When
he was appointed a United States
marshal, he selected Lee Jackson, a
negro, as one of his deputies. He was
severely critioised for this by some
southern papers, but he refused to
weaken and justified his act in the
following reply: "The young man
is competent to render effective serv
ice in lines where white men cannot
do as well, perhaps, as he will do.
I appointed him for efficiency and
have no patience with that senti
ment that gropes always among the
tombstones instead of coming out
into the bright light of existing life
and conditions. The negro was al
ways faithful to his people when a
slave. He has been no less faithful
to his friends since he has become a'
freeman. He is becoming useful in
ways never dreamed of before the
war, and it is unmanly to deny him
the right to do for himself every
thing that will improve and better
his condition. I trust that this is the
last I shall have to say in defense
of my official action. I am right in
what I have done, and by the right
propose to stand."—New York
