| PRENTlCE'S WASHINGTON EXPERTENCE-
Prentice, IN the Louisville JoUrnul of the l4th,
IN the course of an article npon Mr.. IIaskin,
and that revolver, relates his own experience
in the national capital, as follows:
When we were in Washington two or three
weeks ago. we heard from III quarters that

portable facilities for letting blood. We be.

Revolutionary AnecdOtc.

In the year IT'S, when the combined forces
| of France and America were contemplating an
attack on Newport, X. l., General Sullivan
| arranged his command to march against the
| British army. lie disposed bis troops into
! three divisions: the first division were ordered
| to take the west road. the second to take the
cas-: road, and the third to march in the CEN
tire. The advance guard having arrived within
800 yards Of the British fort, commenced
| throwing up entertainments. The British
then fired few scattering shot, which passed
| over the beads Of the Americans without doing
any injury. The American guards were
| placed about thirty rods in advance of the
army, and within speaking distance of the
guards of the British and IN full view were
| five y. six hundred horses feeding, which cX-
cited the enterprise of Il Young man by the
name Of Mason, about twenty years old
This young man, III open day. and in !hc pres.
cnec Of both armies, conceived the bold design
of carrying of one of these horses as ii prize
In low piece of ground, between both Scnt;-
nc|s, were few scattering aldrrs. by means
Of which he contrvcd to pass both lines

where the horses, with their saddles on, were
feeding and the brides slipped ahout their
nlcks. Among these he selected the best
horse he could find, which he mounted. and,
after leapin@ two or three fences, entered the
road which led to the American army. As he
approached the British guards, he put squire
| to his horse, and passed them before they had
time to recover from their surprise; when he
received the fire of both scntinrls ut the same
time. But he had the good fortune to escape
unhurt. and arrived safe in the American
| camp with his noble prize, when he halted
and drawing the pistols from his holsters,
discharged them both in triumph.
But the alarm given by the scntincls called
out both armies, and the panic extended even
to the British fleet in the haihor. A arm
guns were fired for many miles up and down
tic coast, and the whole country was filled
with the utmost cons formation. The British
army paraded in front of the fort, expecting
immediate attack. The troopers Immediately
sprang for their horses, when 10. one poor
red coat was seen wandering alone, destitute
OF horse. The cause Of alarm was soon dis
covered, and both armies retired.
MaSon, after exhibiting bis horse in a proud
triumph for about two hours, sold him for
five hundred dollars, a fair reward for an add
venture which, though not strictly in accor-
dance with the preccpts of the ''moral law"
(Which. in times Of emergency, are often dis.

Observation-Disclosures

IIlsTORY or CLoCKMAKlNG.- Mr.. Camp,
President of the Hartford, Conn, Clock Com
pany, in a recent speech, At a supper, said -
Clock making was commenced about 1915,
by Elias Terry. Of Plymouth, who made n
wooden clock, whiting out the wheels with
knife. The running was regulated by a
heavy bag of sand, and was wound up by a
ball at the other end Of the cord. Terry used
to make two clocks, and swing them across
his horse and ride IN search of q market
Very soon he introduced the use Of . brass
movements" using old brass kettles, because
brass was scarce. When he undertook to
make two hundred clocks, people laughed at
him, they thinking it impossible to sell them
In 1923. Hon. Chaunccy jerome commenced
the business, and with progressive improve
mcnts the business now stands more perfected
than any other in the country. In 1929, a
wooden clock cost 81 how a much better
one can be bought for 81 80. In 1857, the
New Haven Clock Company commenced to
make castings Then it was thought wonder
lul that it turned out $4,000 clocks annually
In the year just ended thc company turned
out 10000 complete clocks and lTG 900
finished movements.

manner In which his illness was brought upon

his accustomed pungency and vigor.
The FIRST use which Mr.. Smith makes OF his

But there is another reason why we wish Mr..
smith no harm. He Ia one of the few honest
men that the abolitionists can boast of. He Is
frank, outspoken and truthful, and hasno guile

TO have such . man In the sbolitionist ranks.
He saves US vast deal of trouble in the hunting
up the threads ofsnti slavery conspiracies aud
