live, die and are forgotten, as they
should be; it is only one rarely, here

ET 1t was stated, some years ago,
that only one-t tenth of the present pop
ulation of New England are descend
ants of revolutionary ancestors. The
statement is probable, not only from
their disregard of the lessons of the
fathers, but from their bald ignorance
Of the notorious facts of the war of in
dependence. As a sample of this, an
article published in leading New
England journal, and extensively cop
led, represents Robert Z. Lee as de
scendant of Gen. Charles Lee. Forty
years ago any New England school
boy could have corrected the blunder
