An Adr0it SwOrdSman.

Pulaski, as 1t is well known was as
adrOit swOrdsman as he was perfect in
craftsmanship, and he ever rode powerful
and feet chargers. During the retreat of
the American army through New Jersey,
in the darkest hour Of our national ad-
versity, he was pursued by small party
Of British cavalry, the head of which was
a good horseman and mounted nearly rs
we'll as Pulaski. Pulaski rode in the
rear Of his detachment and the British
captain in front of those he commanded
The morning sun was shining beauti-
fully, brightly, casting oblique shadows,
and as the pursued4arty entered long,
narrow lane, Pulaski having satisfied
himself of the superior speed and COM
mand of his horse over that Of his pur
suer slackened his pace and kept his
horse to the side of the lane firthest from
tho sun. The pursuing officer came up
in hot haste, his sword elevated so as TO
make the decisive cut upon Pulaski "a
. soon as he could reach him.
Pulaski rode as though he heard rot
The advance upon him, yet he kept hi,
eye. fixed YEARLY upon the ground on the
slde of his horse towards the sun on the
right. As soon us he saw the shadow
of his pursucr's horse gain upon him ard
that the horses head, by his shadow, I'D
gained about half the length of his own
horses body, he gave the sudden sword
cut of st. George with his powerful arm,
and saw the decapitated head of the
English officer following the stroke.
His mathematical eye had measured
the distance by the position of the shad-
Ow SO accurately, his position of givir :
along back reach to his right arm, whi =
the cross stroke Of his pursuer must ha, e
been made at much shorter distance %
have effect, that the pursuing officer lost
his head before he suspected the prox-
unity was known or that blow was me-
dated.
The science of sword exercise is again
amusingly illustrated by the ahecdote of
the British, French and American gen.
tlemcn At the the Court Of the Sultan,
who, once upon time, were invited to
witness the decapitation of three GRIM
nails; the Sultan having heard that all
these gentleman were excellent swords
men, proposed that each should show his
skill upon the culprits, which being
agreed to, the Englishmen at single,
strong, muscular blow sent the head Of
tho hrst cimnal flying to the farther end
Of the fold; the Frenchmen requested .
blue ribbon tied around the neck of the
second criminal, which being done, with
y swift and graceful stroke, he severed
thsman's head, dividing into equal parts
the blne ribbon. The Americans turn
now came, and at the word, he made q
swift cut ct the third CRIMINAL but be-
hold! the head of the criminal did not
drop, whereupon he reqestes the man to
sneese ; he did SO and his head dropped
TO the earth.

SMALL AUDIENCE.-Onc of the Lords

This beautiful and popular song or
ballad is said to have had its origin un-
der the following circumstances, which
give it additional interest:
"Some years ago, when Woodwork,
the printer, and several other Old New
Workers, were brother typos in . print

ner of Chestnut street and Chambers,
there were very few places III the city Of
N. Y. where one could enjoy the luxury
Of really good drink Among the
few places most worthy Of patronage, was
an establishment kept by Mallory, on
Franklin street, on or about the same
spot where St. Johns Hall recently stood.
Woodwork, in company with several
particular friends, had "dropped in at
this place one afternoon, for the pr rpose
Of ia ing some brandy and water that
Mallory was famous for keeping.
"The liquor was superior, excellent,
and Woodwork seemed inspired by it;
after taking draught, he laid his as

lips, declared that Mallory's eau de az
was superior 10 any thing he had ever
tasted. NO said NJ, 'you are quite
mistaken there was one thing which, in
both Of our cstimations, far surpassed
this, in the way of drink what was
that!' asked Woodwork, obviously.
The draught Of pure, fresh spring wa

"The re- crops glistened for a mo-

he replied, and soon after Quilted the
place. He returned 10 the Office, grasp
