WILLIAM TElL-Is HE MYTnl-The
German dramatist has flung halo round
William Tell which will cling to the name
whilst Switzerland is country, or patriot
ism any better than name Yet just one
hundred years ago, lin 1902 the eldest sou
of Haller undertook to prove that the le-
gend In its main features, is the revival or
imitation Of the Danish one, TO be found in
SaxO EXAMINATIONS. The canton of Uri, to
which Tell belonged. ordered the book to
DO burnt, and appealed to the other cantons
to cooperate in its suppression thereby
giving addiIionalinterest and vitality TO
the question, which has at length been
pretty well exhausted by German writer's.
The upshOt il; that the episode of the apple
is relegaled to the domain of fable; and
that Tell himself is grudgIngy allowed q
common place share in the exploits Of the
early, Swiss patriots. Strange to say bis
name Is not mentioned by any cotemporary
chronicler Of the struggle Cor independence.

NAVAL STRENGTH.-The United States
Government has always been weak aud un-
pardonably deficient in its naval strength.
In cases of emergency, volunteer land
force, rs formidable as could be required
under any circumstances, can always be

rattlesnake. lie was holding fast bis left
wrist, while two streams OF blood were run
ming from one of his fingers, where the
fangs of the snake had entered. AS the
man did not use tobacco, told him TO oil
his mouth with salt, aud suck as hard as be
could at his wounds. next kept rag
well saturated with hartshorn on the wound
to counteract the poison. then put thirty
drops Of hartshorn in q teacnpful Ofwhisky
and poured II down bis throvt. In five
minutes | repeated the dose, and 10 five
minutes more gave him another just like
il. BY this time had given him full
quart Of strong whisky aud ninety drops Of
hartshorn, and thought the load was suf-
hcient. The man was an Irishman, an old
soldier. and took the matter quite cOolly.
Ii was great satisfaction to him to know
that an other man ad killed the snake,
which was c0iled under q rail he was NOV

SOLDIERS AID SoclETY.-A meeting Of thl
Society will be held in the basement of th'
First Presbyterian Church, at two O'Clock, P
NJ, on Monday next, the 9th inst. Matters o
general interest will be brought forward at thiI
meeting, and report presented respecting th'
condition of the Society and the distributIonsi !
has made. .,.,.--.
We cannot too earnestly commend the OBJ
jects Of this Society to our fellow citizens
Membership in 1t is open to all the ladies' Of ouI
city who feel sufficient interest in its design to
cause their names to be appended 10 its consti
tuition.
The purpose of the Society is not perhaps
clearly understood by all II Is motto furnish
clothing and subsistence to the soldiers in gen.
eral. These things are done through the
Quartermaster and Commissary Departments
But the great and benevolent object at which
the Soldiers Aid Society aims, Is simply, in
connection with the Sanitary Commission and
under lie supervision, to furnish supplies for
the hospitals, which the Government either
wholly neglects to furnish, or furnishes in q
niggardly and scanty way-in one word, to con-
tribute to the comfort, encouragement and re.
covery Of the sick and wounded aoldlers.
Having stated the object of the Society, We
feel that 1t would be superHuous to add one
word in commencing 1t to the sympathy Of the
ladies or to the liberality Of the gentlemen Of
our city. To tell what Il is for is to make the
best appeal In Its favor to the heart of every
man, woman and child.
