Washington’s Life guard, varying in numbers at different times from sixty to 250 men, was formed in the spring of I776. Tue men were not less than five feet nine inches nor more than five feet ten inches in height, and selected from the various regiments of the Continental army for their moral and _personal perfection. Their usual duty was to protect the person, baggage and papers of the commander-in-chief. The last survivor of this corps was Uzal Knapp of Orange county, N. Y., who died in January, 1856, and was buried at the foot of the flagstaff wm front of Washington’s headquarters at Newburg on the Hudson.

The first pack of playing cards o which any copy is preserved was in use in Venice in 1125, and contained seventyeight cards in all, twentv-two of which were picture cards of very quaint character. One picture card represented the devil, another death, a third the moon, a fourth the sun, while the fifth depicted the judgment day. The Venetians called it the game of tarots, and it was no doubt the original parent of the modern card pack, with its kings, queens, knaves, etc. The French developed the game greatly, and dard pastime of it became the all the royal stan- courts of the Sixteenth century.
