otliivrs in g:iy uniforms il:iiH-r-tl with the
liya!it ladies in the halls where the
voices f Franklin and Adams had
echoed in th'- cause of freedom. Men
clad in tatters left bloody tracks with
their hare feet as they moved from one
hut to another among the snow-drifts at
Valley Foi-e.
No man rejoiced more that the win

the sentiment. "It pays to be loyal to

Howe had kissed the hand of his beau
tiful daughter I'orotliy and had chosen
her for his partner in the minuet.
There now stood before him a blushing
young English baronet, the epaulets of
!i general upon his shoulders, who had
just a-Ue.l him for her hand.
It is a great prize you would rob me
of. Sir Kit-hard. Suppose I should say
no." said Mr. McFarlane, enjoying the

"Then I will ask you," said the gal

"What! What!" cried McFarlane.

who ha loved a man secretly, and he

General ashington was resting Vis
head upon his hand and gazing at tb
fire, and Mistress Washington was
sewing a button on the general's great
coat, when Colonel Jeffries was an
nounced. "So you are going to spend a night
with the enemy, colonel?"
"I am, sir," said the young man who
stood before him, hat in hand, "and to
morrow night I shall return with some
thing sulwtanial."
"I understand it is n woman who if
helping you."
"Yes, sir."
"I must remind you that women
are bad"
At this Mistress Washington looked
up in surprise, "General!" she said
warningly.
"Some women, I mean, my dear,"
he continued as he reached across the
table and took her hand in his own.
"Women are the worst spies we have to
deal with. I cannot let you go on this
mission until I am sure there is uo
danger.
"There is none, sir," was the confi
dent answer.
"You may k." 8a'd Washington
after a moment's pause. "May you
le successful."
After the young man had passed out
the general turned to his wife.
Tf it were not for the courage of
such men as Colonel Jeffries, 1" should
almost cease to hojie."
Jeffries had no intention of being
captured alive. He had raised his sa
ber to strike at the olllccr and muzzles
of the guns that were ointed at his
face. The ollieer now spoke iu a con
ciliatory tone:
"We will take you In-fore the general.
If nothing criminating is found ujion
you, we can at the most only hold you
as a prisoner."
"I am no spy, but I prefer death to
imprisonment."
Dorothy threw her arms around his
neck.
"I-et them take you," she begged.
"I pray ytiu do. I know General Howe,
and 1 will plead with him for your re
lease. Go, for my sake, for my sake."
He hesitated a moment and then an
swered with an effort and in a tone al
most inaudible: "For your sake I will.
Here gentlemen, is my sword."
J.onl Howe had been drinking until
long after midnight with some of his
generals, ami he felt that a half mile
walk in the frostv air might ease the
pain in his head which made sleep ini
nisihle. When he saw a group of men

"Halt!" Lord Howe commanded,
when he was almost upon the men in

quickly with a "Who dares" which
was changed to an obcisant Imhv us he
recognized his general in chief-
"Miss McFarlane, this is strange com
pany and a strange time of night for
you to be out," said the general, rais

"I have the honor to be an otlicer in

"Let me speak for him," Dorothy en
treated, stepping before Lord Howe.
"You will take this young man to my

"Your diet of potatoes and mush

General Howe was too old a soldier
not to admit such courage as the men
at ValleV Forge had exhibited. The
words of Lord Chatham that the
Americans could never be cotiiiuered
were ringing m his tars, and he be
lieved them.
"Some of the officers have their wives

Suicide of a rattlesnake, and think
that a brief account of It may be
worth recording. In the suiutucrol
1883 Trof. Keelersawa large rattle
snake (with seven rattles) crawl undei
the foundation of tbo dome of the
six-Inch eiuatorial. With the nlc
manipulation for which he is fatuou,
Dr. Keeler fastened a pair of black
smith's tonus about the anlmal'i
neck, and brought him into the largo
marble vestibule of the observatory.
The snake was furious and practically
uninjured. After everyone had seen
him it became a question what to dc
next It was resolved to put him
Into a gallon jar of water. Dr.
Keeler had the task tf getting the
very lively animal (which was some
three feet long) Into the jar, and ol
ctting go with the tongs, while I
undertook to put In the stopper of the
bottle at an auspicious moment. All
this was accomplished very nicely, and
the next step was to drown the snake
try inverting the jar at intervals.
After a little t ine it became obviom
to every one, the snake included, that
the animal must soon be drowne I.
At this moment the snake cea ed
iny attempt to rise to the surface of
the water in the jar, and In the most
lellberate manner struck its fangs
leep Into Its body. I have no doubt
whatever that the blow was inten
tional and with suicidal purpose. It

An unusual incident occurred 11
the City Court at Savannah, Ga., a
few days ago. Judge McDonnell was
tardy in putting in his appearance,
for which he fined himself $10, and
promptly remitted the fine. His
Honor went to see his physician to
have bis arm, which he recently In
jured, dressed, and the doctor kept
him a little longer than he hid
counted on. When he entered the
court room the hands on the clock
above the Judge's desk pointed to
Just ten minutes past 10. Judge
McDonnell'took note of the fact and
said: "In accordance with the rules
of this Court eery ofllcer who comes
In lata is subject to a fine. The
clerk will, therefore, enter a fine of
110 against the Court for tardiness
to le paid into the registry of the
Court. Owing to the fact, however,
that this Is the first time this thing
has happened, and also that the Court
had to be detained In order to have
Its arm dressed, the clerk will remit
the fine." Halt I more Sun.

The Wild Turtcr.
In reply to an inquiry, the Home
stead states that the wild turkey Is a
native of North America, and was
probably the tlrst introduced int
Kurope by the Spaniards. It i said
ths tlr.st one served up at a banquet
in France was at the wedding of
Charles IX In 1070. William Strick
land, the lieutenant of Sebastian
Ca'joU In a voyage he performed un
der the patronage of Henry II, car
ried them from this country to Eng
land. Since that period they have
pread with great rapidity, and they
a-c now round inroutioui mo wnoie
ivill.ed world. A writer some years
:i0 said: ' In Its domesticated 6tate
the turkey has undoubtedly degener
ated the wild birds attaining to
larger si.c, and showing more beau
tiful tjlsuiago." It may be that at
the time that sentence, was written
ihe turkey was Inferior iu size to the
wild bird, but the present Mammoth
P.ronre variety !- c-rtainly eiual to
the wild species.
Tho wild turkey was formerly
abundant la the Middle, Southern
ind Western States, but we beliee
never have leen found west of the
uo by Mountains. They arc now
found only In thinly settled regions.
In their wild state they congregate,
it certain seasons, In I'ocks of many
hundreds, frequenting tho woods by
Jay and feeding on acorns, all kinds
-t grains, buds, berries, nuts, grass,
insects, and even young frogs. They
;-ros3 the largest rivers by mounting
to tho taps of the trees, and then fly
ing across. A clipping before us says:
'I.enjamln Franklin thought the
wild turkey should have been the
.nibleiu of the United States, being
i truly Indigenous and national bird;
:n his time the lag cabin pioneer was
-.mounded by these Dtrds, saluting
neb of nor In earlv mornintr from the
tops of adjacent fnrest trees, as is the
farmhouse nowadays by the chiu-Jlii.-lcer."

The American Ivjr.
The American Ivy, or Virginia
eejer, is a perfectly lianly vine, a
vigorous grjwer, easily traa-pianie i.
iind will f.ourish anjwhftre, on any
II. and under tho most unfavorable
ircurastances. It will come up from
;i ilttlc root by tho side of a stunp or
fence or stone heap and trans'owu.
in a season or two. Into a wonder of
beauty. It Is so rigorous and tena
cious of Ufo that It is much caicr to
allow It to grow than to attempt to
Jestroy It, and no plant furnishes a
more dense or graceful shade, it is
the harbor of no Insects th flowers
ire Inconspicuous and late In the au
tumn arc succeeded by c.usters or
blacK berries. On the approach of
winter the leaves LeIn to change
color, and before falling are ot the
deepest scarlet; more brilliant than
any of tho autumn leares, except
perhaps tho sumach and the maple.
It supports itself well In almost
iny situation by Its numerous splrll
tendrils, which are aim -st as strong
as wire, and grasp any object within
their reach with a firmness that de
fies tho fiercest winds and storms.
These tendrils not only wind around
any support within their reach, but
when the rjlant ascends a smooth ob
ject, like the trunk of a tree or the
Hide of a wooden bouse, they act as
rootlets aud fasten themselves so
rirmly that it Is almost lmpo-siblo
to remove them.
Gootl-Naturcil In1ifrerence.
A certain good-natured fatalism
prevails in Russia as to the one crime
(if theft At Saralcff on the Volga a
crowded steamer was p.hout to start,
when the assistant captain, hurrying
through a crowd of third-class pas
sengers, was suddenly stopped by a
peasant, who had previously com
plained that his money had been
stolen.
"Vour honor," he said, "the money
has been found."
"Found! AVhere?"
"Sewed up in that soldier's mantle.
I went over there to search for it,
and sure enough, there were forty
one roubles and a twenty-copeck
piece in lay chamois purse"
'Where is that soldier?"
There he is, asleep."
"Well, he must be handed over to
the police."
"Handed over to the police? Why
to the police? Don't touch him! let
him sleep on. Sure, the money is I
found; what more do we want?"
And as the captain proved equally
Indifferent, tho matter was dropped.
A Tcs Fable.
A Texas man was sitting in a dark
corn recently when he was attracted
y the buzzing of a go'.d-colored bug.
Taking the appearance of the bug as
- favorable omen, he followed it
t stopped directly over an old well
a a deserted field; then the man
vent to digging and presently die
.ovcred a number of gold dollars and
tome few allTer cdna.
I.
ITe Saw ?Strilllglit.
A n engine-driver recounting bis ex
periences said be had escaped smah
ups thus far, but that he thought be
was In great danger one night Said
he:
"It was a clear autumn evening,
and I was running a passenger train.
We were a little behind time, and 1
was going along at a very good pace.
Tbere was an immense wood to go
through, and the line, on clearing it,
took a sharp turn to the westward.
Just as we made that turn my heart
came right up between my teeth, for
there, coming straight down the line
was another engine with her head
light flaming in my eyes like a star.
"1 blew Mown brakes' and bad my
engine reversed before I had drawn
half a breath, and sent the train back
as hard as I could to a siding about a
mile behind us, and waited for the
other train that I supposed to be
close by, but she did not come. I
made the signal man wire up tbs
line to see it there wa any special or
runaway engine In the way but tho
answer was that the line whs clear.
The passengers got out and lgan to
talk and ask questions, and as for inc.
I was dazed. I thought of runaway
locomotives and train-wreckers.
Everything, as far as I could se ai d
hear, was qu!et around the bend. I
glanced westward across the clearing;
there was the headlight shining
through the trees as serenely as ever
It was theplanot Venus." ;
It Is customary for English news
papers and magazines to sneer al
what they are p'.eased to term th
recklessness of American newspaper:
in their statements of fact Thest
Mings may be warranted in some in
stances, but no American newspaper
makes mistakes in geography wblct
could be avoided by looking into t
gazetteer or an atlas. A recent num
ber of the Fall Mall Hu.'get, a cheap,
popular illustrated London wiekiy,
-peaking of the yacht Navahoe, whicl
has been participating la the Cowei
regatta; declares that "the nam
Xavahoe is that of an Americar
state." This is nothing unusual
lowcver, for tho Budget, which a few
hod tin a;;o announced that L'tah
was the only one of the Amerkai.
