Anecdote Of Gen. Putnam.

humans early days were spent as
those of most boys placed in his situation
in life. One of his favorite recreations
was "6ird-nesting"-a cruel and useless
custom. The hunts for nests were fol-
lowed in company, and Putnam was al
ways. the leader.
On one occasion, he and his companions
came across fine nest, lodged on frail
branch of very high tree. There was
no way of reaching the nest except by
climbing, (Which was very difficulty and
venturing out on the branch which, nine
chances to one, would break under the
weight of the robber. No one would ven-
ture. Putnam regarded the nest and
ling in silence for some moments, and at
length said:
"I'll wager there is not boy for ten
miles round here that can get that nest"
All agreed with him.
Ell try it," said he, deliberately taking
off his jacket, and rolling his pantaloons
to his knees.
His companions attempted to dissuade
him, but to no purpose. Go he would.
SIN fancy that one of the kings strong
holds" said Putnam, "and may i be
squeezed if / don't take it."
The tree was ascended-the limb gain
ed. Putnam placed his foot upon it and
it cracked. He ventured foot further;
the limb bent low, and warning murmer
rose from the boys below. He put his
knee to the branch. and reached towards
the nest. The limb broke partially--a
shout below-and Putnam persevered.--
His fingers touched the wished-for prize,
and just as he cried, I've got it p the
limb broke clear off, and he fell--bnt not
TO the ground. His pantaloons caught in
one of the lower limbs and his head hung
downwards.
g Put, are you hurt ?" echoed one of the
boys.
mot hurt" answered the undaunted
heart, 9 but sorely puzzled how to get
down.
/" We can't cut AWAY the limb, because
we have no knife"
Il can't stay here till you get one"
"We'll strike light and burn the tree
down."
"Aye, and smother me in the smoke
That won't do"
There was boy named Randall in the
group, who was noted for being crack
marksman, and who afterwards fought
bravely at Putnam's side. Him Putnam
addressed -
"Jim Randall there's ball in your
rifle ?"
YES"
Do you see what a very little liml
holds ME here ?"
i do"
Fire at it."
"What to cut you down r.
"Of course"
!" But might strike your head
"Shoot Better blow my brains OF
than see me die here, which shall in fl
teen minutes-Shootr
"But you will fall.'
"Jim Randall will you fire ("
The sharp crack of the rifle rang throug
the forest--and Putnam fell upon tn
ground. lie was severely bruised, b.
laughed the matter off and nothing MOI
was thought of it. Drawing the me-
from his pocket, he said
Here is the nest; | said would hay
it. and / was determined no one shou
see me fail"
The same indomitable and daring spin
was displayed in his after lite, in endea
oring to secure liberty for his country
His name is carved high and indelibly
the temple of Fame, with that of Was
ington, Warren, Stark, Allen, Presco
and LAFAYETTE.

A Mason Under Torture.

Between the years 1740 and 1850 the
Freemasons were subjected to great per-
secutions in Portugal. A iewelcr of the
name of Montou was seized and confined
in the Inquisition, and friend OF his,
John Coustos, a nstive of S@itzerland,w as
arrested. The fact was, that these two
persons were the leading Freemasons in
Lisbon. which constituted their crime
Coustos was confined in lonely dungeon.
whose horrors were heightened by the
complaints, the dismal cries and hollow
groans of several other prisoners in the
adjoining cells. He was frequently brought
before the inquisitors, who were anxious
to extort from him the secrets of masonry;
but refusing to give any information, he
was confined in still deeper and more
terrible dungeon. Finding threats, en-
treaties and remonstrances in vain, Cous-
tos was condemned TO the tortures of the
holy Office. He was, therefore conveyed
10 the torture-room, where no light appear
put around his neck an iron collar. which
was fastened 10 the scaffold; and this be-
ing done, they stretched his limbs with all
their might. They next tied two ropes
around each arm, and two around each
thigh, which ropes passed under the scat
fold through holes made for that purpose.
These ropes, which were OF the size OF
ones little finger. pierced through his
flesh quite TO the bone, making the blood
gush out at eight differen; places that
were so bound. Finding that the torture
above described could not extort any dis
covery from him, they were so inhuman'

The Debt-The Draft.

A writer in the indianapolis Herald says ::
The public debt of the United States is
over thTed thousand millions of dollars
|One-iifth Of the entire taxable property.
England found 1t necessary TO reduce the
rate of interest on her debt. We want to
have ours in such a shape that we can do
so too. We may never want to do it, but
still want TO retain the power to do so. We
are told by the advocates of class Legislation
that this debt was contracted during our
struggle for national eNistence---that the
capitalists came forward in the nations
darkest hour, and generously loaned their
money, and that it would be bad faith to
tax their bonds now. When the nation
wanted men the DRAFT wheel was set in
motion. Why woHld IL not have been Just
~ proper to draft money ms to draft men
Was the money of the Wall street sharks
more precious than the red blood of
Indiana's brave sons? think not.
But the bondhOlders got well paid for
their generosity. by the depreciation of
the currency, their bonds did not cost them
more than thirty-tive or forty cents on the
dollar, and brought them in seven per cent.

taxation, and now it is proposed to perpct-
uate this unjust discrimination in favor of
capital by Incorporating It in the COnstltu-
tion of the United States. iou men, who
have been in the army, were you treated
so tenderly as this? You left your families

No. 1t eXempts the man who gave only
money, aud leaves the men who gave their
blood, TO pay the tax, from which the fa-
vOred class is exempt. We want the hold

with the rest of us. We are opposed TO
moneyed aristocracies, and don't want to
see this great Injustice Incorporated into
the supreme law of the land.
