" One ot my children had a large sora
break out on the leg. We applied
simple remedies, for a while, thinking
the sore would shortly heal. But it grew
worse. We sought medical advice, and
were told that an alterative medicine
was necessary. Ayer's Sarsaparilla
being
Recommended
above all others, we used it with mar
velous results. The sore healed and
health and strength rapidly returned."

TIIK RESCUED 11AI1V.
Copyriuhtei, 1888, by Funk & WtwwlU.)
In tho summer of 1781 efforts were instlo
by Hie British mllllary authorities In Now
York and In Canada to seize the persons of
distinguished citizens In the State, In order
to bold them as hostages or for exchange
General Philip Sclmjlcr and Gov. George
Clinton were specially designated for such
attempts. Armed partiss wero sent out of
the city stealthily for such purposes, and
Tories In the Interior were so employed.
The person of General Schuylor was par
ticularly coveted. lie was not only the
foremost man In the State In the extent of
bis influence, but was then a member of
the Continental congress and one of the
most trustworthy officers in the service of
his country, lie had been the efficient
commander of the Northern Department
in opposing and checking the British Inva
sion of New Vork from Canada In 1777,
until he was displaced by the Intiigttes of
men In and out of Congress. Ho was now
out of the military service, nnd was Hying
at his elegant home In tho southern su
burbs of the city of Albany, but he was ac
tively engaged in assisting tho General
Government In Its financial operations, and
n providing supplies for the armies. In
these labors he was the most trusted and
efficient- assistant of Robert Morris, who
had lately been appointed Superintendent
of Finance or Sccrctaty of the Treasury.
So vigilant was Schuyler at at all times In
tho public service that he was called "The
Eye of the Northern Department." Oi"
his retirement from the army he was furn
ished with a guard of six soldiors for the
protection ot his person. At ho time we
are considering, Schuyler was employed by
Washington In intercepting communica
tions between General .Sti Henry Clinton
In New York aud General Sir Frederick
Hnldimand of Canada.
Tho munificent rewards that wero secret-
It offered by the British for the seizure of
prominent person;, aud the promiso of
plunder, hud cxciled tho cupidity of the
Tories In the vicinity of Albany. Several
seizures had been attempted, anil some had
been accomplished by them. Among the
boldest of the leading Tories in acllyo ser
vice was John Walter Meyer, a collccuc of
the notorious marauder Joe Bettys. He
was employed to abduct General Schuyler.
Accompanied by a gang of Tories, Cana
dians and Indians, he repaired to tho neigh
borhood of Albany, but, uncertain how
well General Schuyler might be guarded,
he luikcd among the pliio shrubbery In the
Tlcinlty for eight or ten days. Ho seized a
Dutch laborer, and learned from him tho
exact position of affairs at Schuyler's
house, and extorting au oath of secrecy
from the man ho let him go, The Dutch
man appears to have made a mental reser
vation, for ho gave Schuyler information
of his experience. A Loyalist, who was
the General's personal friend and was cog
nizant of Waller Jloyei's designs, also gave
blin warning. Thus forewarned, tho Gen
eral and bis family were constantly vigi
lant, and tho guards were kept continually
on duty, three at a time.
At the close of a sultry day in August
General Schuyler and his family were sit'
tins In the front hall of tho mansion. The
servants were dispersed about the premises.
The thrco guards, retired for the night,
were asleep in the basement room of the
house, and the three who were on duty.op-
pressed by the heat, were lying on the cool
grass in the gaideu. A servant announced
to the General Ui&t a stranger desired to
sneak to him at the back gate. The
stranger's errand was at once comprehend
ed. The doors of the bouse were lunncdl
tcly shut and close-barred. Tho family
were hastily collected In an upper room and
tho General ran to his bedchamber for his
arms. Fiom the window ho saw tho home
surrounded by mined men. For the pur
pose of arousing the. guards on tlm grass
and ncrchancc to alarm tho town, he tiled
a pUtol from the window.
The assailants burst open the doors. At
the tame moment Mrs. Schuyler perceived
that In the confusion and retreat from lln
hall, her Infant child, only a few months
old, had been left in the cradle In the mir
sery below, I'erental care subdued all fear,
and the mother was flying to the rescue of
her babo when her husband Intctfcrcd and
pi evented her. Her llfo was of moro con
sequence Ihau that of tlin Infant. Their
third daughter rushed down the two nights
of stairs, snatched the still slseplng Infant
from the cradle, aud flew with It toward
the great lower stall case. One ot tho In
diins hurled a sharp tomahawk at the fly'
lng girl, hut it effected no further harm
than a slight rut in the dress a few IhcIics
from ths head of the babe, and a wound lu .
the mahogany rat! of the stair case. On
the stairs she met Walter -Veyer, who, sup. I

With great presence of mind the coura-
geouttUter answered:
"Goae to alarm tht town."
The Tory leader's followers wero In the
' illtilng-rooni stealing the illrer plate and
, other valuables. Ho called them together
for consultation. At that moment the
I General threw up a window and, as if
I speaking In numbers, railed nut In a loud
voice:
"Come on, my brave fellows I Surround
tho houe and ecilr the vllllnns who are
plundering I"
Tho assailants made a precipitate retreat, J
carrying with them Ihe three guards who
were In the house and a tstgn quantity of
silver plate.
Tho bursting open of ths doors of the
bono1 hail aroused tho sleeping ku arils In
tho basement loom, who rushed lip to tho
back hall where they had left their arms,
hut Ihclr weapons were gono. Jfrs. t'lnrcl
a marriiMi oaugnirr of ueneral Schuyler,
who was there at tho tune, without sus
plclnu that they might ho wanted, had re
moved the arms Just before the a'.tack, on
account of apprehended Injury to her litll
boy whom she had found playing them.
The guards had no other weapons hut their
brAwnyJlits, and these they used manfully
until nvetponcrcd. They were taken to
Canada; and when they wero' exchanged
ami iiiuj rcuirnei ucncral Schuyler gavo
each of them a farm in Saratoga. Their
names were John Tttbbs, Joint Corlles and
John H'nnl. The marauders fled with
their booty to Canada.
In tho summer of 18181 visited friends at
Oswego, then a pleasant village on the
southern shore of Lake Ontario, at tho
mouth of the Oswego lllycr. I was In
formed that a daughter of General Schuy
ler, his youngest child, andjwlfe of Major
James Cochran, a nephew of the General,
was living In the village. My friends
spoke of her as a most charming old lady,
almo't seventy years of age, who was be
loved by everybody who knew hor because
of her swcolness of her disposition, the
blamclessncss of her life, her abounding
kindness toward the needy and aflllclod,
her social graces, and her Intellectual
gifts.
At a suitable hour I called on the vener
able couple. Major Cochran was almost
four score years old, feehlo In IkmIIIv health
but mentally vigorous. He was a son of
Dr John Cochran, Surgeon-General of the
Middle Department of ther Continental
Army, who married a sister of General
Schuyler. The Major himself was a mem-
her of Congress during tho administration
ofth elder I'rcsidont Adams. His family
relationship and his position gave him op
portunities to bccomoaeiptalnted with most
of tho general officers of the revolution, and
tho utterance! of Ills reminiscences of per
sons and events of tho long-burled past
gavi me great pleasure and edification dur-
ng our brief interview.
Major Cochran related the amusing cir
cumstances of his nomination and election
as a member of Congress. A vessel was to
be launched on Senaca Lake at Geneva,
It being an unusual event, the people
athcred there from far and near to witness
It, Tho young people determined to haTe
a danee at night. Young Coclnnn. who
was present, was an amateur pfifmmer on
the violin, nnd his services were ilenuiudcd
on that occasion. He gratified thoinwms
company, and at tho suppi'i'-lahhi a gentle
man remarked. In coiumenilatloii nf his
achievement, "Ho Is fit for Corgress."'
The hint was favorably received by the
company. The madcr w.ts "(ulacd up,''
and he was nominated for and dcclrd to
a seat in Congress from the ilNtrirl which
then included the wholn nf New' Yoik.wrst
of Schenectady.
"ho joti see," said Major CocIiihu, wllh
a pleasant smile, as ho finished tho story,
"I fiddled my way Into Congress."
The Major died a few month', after my
visit.
Mrs. Cochran was ten years tho junior of
her husband. She was tall and slender,
graceful In figure, with rather deep-set and
exccetliugly expressive ore, and good hu
mor and benevolence prevadiug her whole
countenance She told mo of much of her
home life at Albany, ot the eminent per
sons she had met then) in her childhood
and young womanhood, of the domestic
character of her father, and of the sweet
face and abounding goodness other mother
"toward everybody.," whosu maiden namo
In full Catharine Van Re.nssalaer Coch
ran she bore. These seemed to constitute
her happiest memories. She spoke with
enthusiasm of the broad Christian charac
ter and kindly hospitality of her father dis
played toward friends and enemies during
tho war, which she knew only by the testl
mony from tho Hps of others, for alio was
born In 1781. She spoko of his unswerving
patriotism under cruel persecutions and
grave affronts, and of Ids fortitude and
patience while torturdl with hereditary
gout when lu the military service, and of
tho perils which surrounded him at limes
from the Tories, who stimulated by the
prospect of great towards, sought to carry
him off a prisoner to the British at Xcw
York city.
I told Mrs. Cochran In brief tho .story 1
had recently heard of the attempt of Hal-
tcr Meyer to abduct her father, and the
narrow escape from death of the rescued
baby. I observed that her countenance
beamed with an amused expression while I
retalcd the incident, aud when I concluded
the narrative her smile dovclopeil into
hearty laughter as she exclaimed.
"Why, I am that ivseued baby!"
I was silenced.
"Yes," she said. "I am that rescued
baby. It was I who was slceiilng lu that
cradle in the nursery when Sister I'eggy
snatched me from it and ran up stairs with
me. She was Sister Margaret, who married
Ilia l'atroon Van Rensselaer. If you ever
Visit my father's house at Albany and I
hope you will you may see the scar of the
wound which the Indian's tomahawk In
dieted on the stalr-rall."
"I have something curious to tell tou
about tho silver plate which was cariicd off
at that time." said -Vajor Cochran. "I
have been Informed that LUutenant-
Colonel Barry St. Ieger, whose headquar
trrs wore at Montreal at that time, and
who was carrying on a sort of guerrilla war
faro, received an Intimation from Gover

courteous letter to St. Legcr, complaining
of the plunder of his house by troops under
his command, and asking for a return of
the plate. St. heger replied as courteously,
and assured General Schuyler that the cir
cumstance had mortified him and that the
moment he heard of It he did everything
In his power 'to rcscno It from the hands
of a scoundrelly silversmith, what had
escaped the disfiguration of his crucible,
and which is now In my possession.' The
plate was noyer returned. On of the
articles rescued from the crucible, was a
soup tureen. And here comes In the
curious part of my story," said Major
Cochran. "I was at Washington In 1841,
on the occasion of the Inauguration of
President Harrison, and while In the
rotunda of the Capitol, viewing Trumbull's
Picture of Ihc surrender of IlurgOyne, a
stranger at my elbow Inqultcd.
" 'Who Is that flno-looklng man In the

" 'General Schuyler,' I replied.
" 'General Schuylcrl' rcpreatcd lbs
stranger; 'why I ale soup uot long ago at

that was carried off from his house by
some Tories In the Revolution.'
"Thls was the first and only time any
of his family ever heard of the plundered
article, cxrepllug Ihe alleged letter of St.
Legnr."
I visited Mrs. Cochran twice during her
widowhood, the Inst time at the beginning
of August, 18.YJ. She than seemed to be
In fairly good health, hut the Angel of
Death was hovering near, and she departed
from this earth before tho close ot that
month. She was the last living child of
General l'lilllp Schuyler.
