Revolutionary Defeetions.

A writer in the New York Tribune thus
recalls some incidents of the RevOlutiOna-
ry struggle, suggested by recent events:
This widespread infdelity to the Gov
ernment is no new incident in American
history. If modern serpent approached
the heroic Scott with infamous proposals,
so Duche, whose sublime prayer, as chap
lain to the Continental Congress, melted
the hearts of his audience as often as he
bent to repeat it, fell away from his loyal
ty and enjoys the scle infamy of having
sought to corrupt Washington. While
this wretch was praying to Almighty God
for the success of the Revolution, his heart
was black with treason. The Wings of
Virginia were so alarmed at the idea of
Independence, that they sent Carter Brax-
ton to turn the vote of that colony against
it, if any question on that subject should
come up before Congress Though John
Adams urged the adoption of the Declar-
alton with impetuous elOquence, yet it was
carried with great reluctance, and doubt
and hesitation prevailed even in Congress.
jefferson wrote that "even after the COM
mencement Of hostilities, the possibility
of separation from England was contem-
plated with affiiction by ALL
John Adams went even further than
this, declaring that "there was not a mo-
ment during the Revolution when | would
not have given every thing | possessed for
restoration of the state of things before
the contest began, provided We could have
sufficient security for its continuance. -
Galloway and the Aliens of Pennsylvania
abandoned the " hig cause. So, also, did
the SINNERS of New Jersey, tie Bayards,
DE Lanceys, and De Peysters of New
York, most of them commanding cOmpa-
MES or regiments. William Stark, the
brother of the hero of Bennington, left it,
and took up arms for the British. Wash
ington's friend, Mackenzie, did the same.
Zubly. delegate in Congress from GeOr-
gia, turned traitor outright. Gen. Reed,
made timid by WashingtOn's disasters in
New Jersey, had his timidity removed on
ly by the victory at Trenton.
Nathan Hale was recognized by one of
his relatives while on his EerilOus mission,
and by him was betrayed to death upon
the gallOws. WashingtOn's life was sew
eral times attempted, and cabals, instiga-
ted and shared in by officers Of high rank,
were formed to disgrace him The sym
pathies of even such man as Alexander
Hamilton were at first in favor of the Roy
al side, as he himself admits in his reply
to Wilkins. The kinsmen of Van Vert,
who captured Andre, were Tories. Every
State had its regiment of traitors, just as
many have them now Arnold, who COM

An ECCENTRIC Musician.

List is eccentric and extremely proud;
hcmoreoger cheEishes SsingulaE animosity
against apples, which useful fruit he con-
siders as unworthy of being ranked among
the edibles of the planet. At certain
dinner, not many years ago. some young
men having made bet that they would
draw out the 'lion'' on the subject of his
fayorite antipathy, one of them, when the
desert was placed on the table, launched
forth into high flown panegyric upon ap-
PIES but declared that he was unable to
decide whether they should be peeled or
eaten with the rind"
Pray, Nj. Liszt," continued the young
man, "what do you consider to be the most
correct way of eating an apple?'i
"Sir, replied the artist with freezing
haughtiness, mo well bred man would eat
an apple in any lCay."
On another occasion List was invited
to grand sOiree given by the Russian
Princess l., renowned fOr her pride,
and for her insOlent way of showing it
Among LISTS many whims is that of al
ways helping himself TO- sugar with his
fingers. disdaining sugar tongs. When tea
was brought in List helped himself to
sugar in his usual way. The Princess,
who happened to be very near him, said
to the footman who was carrying the tray,
Take away that sugar basin and bring
another - List took no apparent notice
of this insult, but went on cOnversing with
those about, taking several cups of tea,
and seeming to enjoy them greatly. 1t
was wa'm evening, and the windows of
the salon were wide open. When Liszt
had finished his last cup of tea, hewalkrd
deliberately across the room to the nearest
window, and threw his cup and saucer
the service being most magnificent and
cOstly-out into the street
"GoOd heavens. Mr.. List ~ shrieked
the indignant Princess, springing to her
feet, what could have prompted you to
