THE FUGITIVE LIEITENANT.

the Jii-itish was rioting nnd luxuriatini; in ther etithnsiastieally, grasping his liaud ;
riiiladeliihia, that a lame dirty, boog.'trly I 'your lather's spirit npuiks in you. He
lookino lellow, walking ts ill) it milch, ap- j died on the hattlo-lield with those senli
proaehed iw northern outpost ofthe Royal I menls in his heart ; and I freely give you
forces, nnd. with a simple, idiotic lan:;h i luy on'y sou and hope to the glorious
and leer, announced his intention of etile'r- j .'Hbo which his blood and that of thou
ing the city and Inking tlic lirilish General
prisoner.
"luueed r-tlien 1 sliall lie unilrrthc. ne-

oilier, drawine;
himsolf tin with an air of defi;
defiance ; 4 w hy,
I'd tell the "Teat General Wasliinotou.'
'Then 1 am afraid to venture on your
arrest. So pass on you wiil probably find
General How prcimre'd to receive you."
The idiot suddenly looked troubled,
glancing about hint warily and suspicious-
ly, as it be feared lie might meet the gene-
ral he was so boldly going to capture,' but
finally hobbled oil" toward the city. Willi
some such silly dialogue he got past thedif-
it-rent sentries, who seeiu. d to j;iv. him no
thought beyond the amusement of the time.
By night he was fairly in the lowu, and
kept 011 his wav, sometimes humming
enutclies of tild songs, and iu general not
noticed much by any. Through one streit
to anotiier he coiilintied to hobble forward,
till he came to one of no great length, con
tabling a block of three-story, respectable
looking houses, which might be occupied
by persons in middling circumstances.

which, to the scaudal of tho Christum I
Church, insisted on persecution as n duly, I
set the ckample of persecution to other Ca- j

Take a single example ofthe manner in ;
which tho government was administered. ,
An American lady, an acquaintance of
mine, a resident in Rome for several years, '
was summoned one momiag to appear lie- ;
fare the police of that city. She apX'Hivd, j
accompanied by tho Aitiericau Consul.
44 You are charged," eaij the police ma- ;
gist rate, 41 with having sent money to Flo- j
reiiee, fo bo employed in founding a Pro- I
tcbtant orphan asylum. What do y t say ?" ;
14 1 did send money for that purpose," was :
tho lady's answer. 44 1 did not ak for it ; '
it was brought to 1110 by some ladies, who '
requested me to forward'it to Florence, and 1
I did so ; and I Utko tho liberty to say it is
no afliiir of yours." " Of that you are not
to judge," replied the magistrate. " See :
that you never repeat the oll'ense." Such,
was the government which, to the great '
joy ofthe Roman people, and the SiUislkc- !
tion of the friends of liberty, everywhere, i
has been overthrown.. Was it worthy I
put this question to this assembly was
such a government worthy to subsist eveu ;
for an hour ? 1
And yet there re those who protest i
against this change American citizens, 1
nnd excellent people among them, who lend
their names to a public remonstrance 1
against admitting the people of Home to
the liberties which we enjoy. My friends,
is there a single oue of these libc rtie which
is uot us dear to you as the liht of day, i
aud the free air of heaven ? The liberty of
public worship, would you give it up with- i
out a mortal struggle ? Tbe liberty ofdis-1
cussing, openly in conversation, or by ;
means of the pr. ss, iu books or in new-spa- j
pers, every question which iuterests the
welfare of our race a liberty of which
the. pior Romans were not allowed even the ;
shadow. j
My friends, I respect profound rt-ligtous ;
convictions wherever 1 meet them. 1 ho- j
nor a good life wherever 1 sec it, aud 1 find
1111 11 of saintly lives in every religious deuo- .
1nin.1l ion. But when I hear it aUirmed that '
thete is a natural alliance between despo-
tiiin aud Cbristinnily, lhat the ucceasury ;
proj) and support of religion is the law of ',
force, and that (he Christian Church should
be so organized that its head slmll be an ,
absolute temporal monarch, eurrouuded by '
a population compelled to be bis slaves, I 1
must say to those who make this assertion, !
whatever be their personal worth, thalibeir .
doctrine dishonors Christianity, that it
brings scandal upon religion, and bias- .
phonics the holy and gracious memory of I
the Savior of the world. I

The sunt' literal turn of miu.l which we

small bubbles when the ice is thin. It is
probably air excluded In the process of
crystalizaiiun, and when there is atided
oil sundry gases formed from decayi
matter in the wuier, it amounts during the
winter to aeoiisideiab:e qtnmtiiy. ,uch
solleelions ol'Hir. like the bubble iu aspirt
levil, are in a very unpasv conditiou, and
are rapidly translerred from one place to
another on any casual disturbance of tbe
level, giving rise to one of tbe numerous
noises which are always more or less hi.ol
ouahtke covered with ice -at least, ,
liHod always to aitribute to this cause a
peculiar groaning sound which was vtrv
cotnmon, Now, if there should bo any
casual inequality in the lower sueiaee of
the ice, the air will naturally colled there,
and if it is above 'Ai deg. F., which in j
far as it consists of evoled gns it probably
will be iucreuced by tbawiin;. A duine
shapwl cavity will tlius be gradually for
med, which will llually reach the surface ;
air wiil escape from below, and the surface
water, of which there is almost alv.ay
more or less after the snow has fallen, wiil
run down from above wearing the little
jogged channels which are characteristic
of uir-holi s. Tho w hole thing will then
after a while freeze up again, lc:ui ig an
indication of where the air-hole has been in
the dillerent color of the freshly-tbriiieu ice.
I have tried several such airhole with an
axe when lirst formed, and bavo always
found them to lead to such a bone-shaped
cavity. I remember on one occasion au
otter frequenting a large air-hole which re
mained open for some time, and which
musl have becu from a mile and a half .o
two miles distant frem the nsarest open
water. How did he reach it ? for no otter
can travel that distanc under water with
out access to air. Tho Indians say that
they will goto greater distance still under
the ice, nnd that they always find air ther
It is likely enough lhat there may be mauy
such doiuu-shaped cavities, winch bava
uot yet reached, and may never reach,
the surface as air-holes, but oue would
imagine tbe air they coutain to be net of
the most wholesome character. However,
this ollordid Ire juent that air hole for
about a week, which it certainly did not
reach by tiavlin on the ice, and thought it
had a few chances ff breathing there in
the daytime at any rate, it contrived dur
ing Unit period to elude the snares of at
w hite man and an ludian, who wasted a
good deal of time, iu looking after it.
So far, the process of the formation of
airholes, if I am riht iu my txplauaiiou,
is intelligible enough ; but sometimes ttity
are formed in a manner which is ti'llieult to
uccouut for. Upon one occasion I bud
crofcscd tho lake lo a friend's bouse, ttbout
four milts oil', ami we had delertniued to
start together next morning to our nearest
town, but I had to go home first. I lirst

home kbotti eleven at night, and, n it was
bright starlight, w ilh only a few iiontiug
cloud.1, I should have noticed any chauge ;
but 1 came straight across, and saw noth
ing to ultract attention; bat when I crossed
ugaiu at daylight iu the morning, in one
part ofthe lake the whole surface was co
vered with air-holes there tuusliu've been
hundreds of them. At lirst J gave them a
rather wide benh, but 011 approaching one
to examix'e 'I, Z found it frozeu up again,
the cIckv i'.'o in tho bole, w'tb very lew in-di'-t'liiViD
of the charaetcriolic jagged edges,
buing the only sign that there had been uu
open uii'-holo there during the night. I
hud no axe with me lo try whether they
were connected with any cavity, but tbe
appearance was as if holes of from two to
live or six inches iu diameter had been
punched through the ice. Of course we
attributed it to electricity, as people will do
uuy thing which they do uot otherwise un
dcit.la.ud. und 1 have never becu able to
jiive auy more iutelligible explanation of
the phenomenon. There ce.rtaiuly bad
becu koine liiint sheet lightuibg thftt night,
a very unusual thing iu winter ; but what
connection, if auy, there may have Uen
between the Iwo tbiugs, 1 cannot tell.

Such a thing a a W big or Republican was
