ED. STAR! In your yesterdays edito-
rial notice OF the very peculiar eorre-
,pondence between the two Mayors,
whom you appropriately style the stwo
Dromios," on the opening OF telegraphic
communication between the city and
Chis suburb OF Avondale, you
most justly remark that Dromio
"Bob" has volunteered the trans-
fer Of something that he. don't
own. And though acting as our Mayor,
latter fashion," it had better be un-
derstood that Ayondale doesn't belong
to him. And however ardently he may
desire to mingle among the congenial
spirits Of the city's "rings," the citszens
OF Avondale have no suca ambition. At
our last test OF the question OF annexa-
ton the vote Was two to one
against it. We are perfectly satisfied
| with the government of eur Village
Council, which is composed Of men OF
property and integr ty. We know that
| whatever money is appropriated for
our village improvements and current
expenses will be faithfully and judi
ciously applied. Our healthy and
beautiful village is not q wholesome
place for bummers and "ringworms"
And Ii our "Dromio" must figure IN a
| comedy of Errors,v let him annex him
self to the city without delay--s'let him
not stand upon the order OF his saing,
but 70 at oueeV but he can't take AVON
dale with MIN. AvoN.

RETRENCHMENT.

The Special Committee appointed by
the Council Committee on Retrench-
ment. to report about the different de-
partments and possible retrenchment In
them, has been on the whole very assid-
uous, and in the last meeting has reoUnI-
mended important retrencnments, which
we published yesterday. The recon-
mendations which MIR. Refs made in re-
gard to the matter OF light, were very
sensible, and we are glad that by it the
proposition made formerly DO impose u
-pcctal tax for lighting the city nas be-
come unnecessary. We some time
20 stated tnat We regarded the as
Sessment o. a special YAK Tor this pur-
D ,se as unlawful, although the City So
.lciuor is of a different opinion. The
matter, however, has been settled ju-
diclously in this, that the Board OF Al
uiernien Indefinitely laid over the orul-
| nance relative to IL. Moreover, the
recommendation is TO be praised by
which the number OF policemen Is not
TO be diminisned; but, instead, their
| salaries To be reduced slightly, and the
| number of officers and their salaries to
| Ue reduced. We are cOnviuced that
| three hundred patrOimeh are barely
sufficient for Cincinnati, with
ner present extended boundaries,
to project the citiztns in person ana
property. We also nave nothing againsl
| ihe reduction OF different city officials
rhe most singular report was Lnat ol
| Mr.. DIR In relation TO The Board OF City
improvements. Mr.. Dir undouDtedly ly
means well, and desires to make reduc.
trons in this department., but he seems
not to have mastered the matter, and
consequently was unable to recommend
anything positive; perhaps he will yel
succeed In finding the right thing.

MISCELLANY.
PutEam's Ride-The Act OF IconO-
cIasm Complete.
To the Editor Of n. Y. Evening Post:

To the Editor Of n. Y. Evening Post:
In a recent number of your paper
allusion is made to the story of Gen
eral Putnam's famous ride at Horse
neck during the Revolutionary war.
Having often heard the story laugh
ingly repeated by my grandmother,
1 am induced to tell it for your cor
respondents benefit.
My grandfather, the Rev. Jona-
than Murdoch, at that time pastor
at Horseneck, had built what was
then the largest house in town. 1t
now stands next south of the church.
In Revolutionary days it was used
as headquarters by the British and
Americans alternately. On the
day of the famous ride my grand
father and General Putnam were on
the hill in front of the house con-
versing. The former was mounted,
but the latter was not. A servant
was also standing near with horse
harnessed to cart. The British
came in sight. My grandfather i'm
mediately dismounted, saying:
General, take my horse; they do
not want me-they want you" Put
nam took the horse and rode as fast
as possible, while my grandfather
waited to get the other horse unhar-
messed. The General escaped, but
my grandfather and the servant
were taken.
Had Putnam ridden his own
horse, there might have been some
truth in the stories about him. But
my grandmother, who was aspecta-
tor to the scene / have narrated,
said that the horse could not have
been urged down the hill. The
current story was good one, and
no one cared publicly to contradict
it; so it went down to posterity.
Thus it comes that, instead of the
good, staid horse of an orthodox
clergymen of those days, we see in
children's school books pictures Of
the General on a fiery, flying char
ger, bounding down the rocks. Such
is history.

The Biography Of a Turtle.

Mr.. Hiram Bradley, residing at
Hitchcock's station, in the town Of
Southington, brought to our Office
this forenoon a clock TURTLE" so
called, which has quite history. 1t
was first caught by Mr.. Luman
Lewis in 1928, who cut his initials
al. L." and the date, "1823," on
the under shell and then allowed it
to depart. 1t was next captured in
1881 by Mr.. Asahel Upson, who
also put his initials and the date of
his capture upon it. In 1858 Mr..
Hiram Bradley first found it, and
following the example of Messrs.
Lewis and Upson, he cut his initials
and the date by the side of the 9TH
ers, and again deposited it in the
meadow. Besides these, his turtle
ship has been captured and subjected
to the engraving process by at least
two other persons-once in 1916,
and again in 1873. The turtle is
now we'll known to most of the in
habitants of Hitohcock's station,
by whom it is held in high esteem.
1t lives in certain meadow, and has
never been known to stray there
from. About five years ago a gen
tleman found it and removed it t,
his farm nearly mile distant. The
act displeased Mr.. Bradley, long
the owner of the turtle, who die
not care to be deprived of such his
torical, if not valuable, property il
so summary a way. The next sea-
son, however, the turtle was found
in its old home in the meadow, and
there, it is believed, it has since re-
mained. Atany rate it was founc
there yesterday by Mr.. Bradley,
and after being brought to this city
and exhibited as remarkable liv-
ing curiosity, it was it was taken
back to its old quarters.-[New Ha-
ven Register.

How She Tnnght Him.

A paper printed in Eufaula Ala,
prints the following as veritable
incident which occurred the other
day in that city: GA lady hired an
old negro woman named Charlotte,
who had the most exalted opinion
of her own individuality and origi-
nality. Whenever subject wa,
under discussion in the family,
Charlotte would be sure to state hei
own superior method of proceeding
in such matters. On one occasion
the lady was talking of sending
some of the children to school
when Charlotte put in her oar as
usual: Ior! Missus,' she said,
what mex you pay money fur tc
send de chile to schoole? got one
smart boy named Jones, but larns
him myself But, Aunt Charlotte,
replied the lady, how can you teach

The president home-organ. the Nation
al Republican, takes abundant, almost
superfuous pains to show that Grant
meant by his recent letter a master stroke
for his own third term.
st is not whether General Grant shall
become a candidate for another term.
That question is with the people, and in
the womb of the future, to be solaced in ac-
cordance with the promptings of the popu-
lar judgment 0lten the proper time shall
ar7ire for its determination. 1t may be
that the people will speak on this question
with distinctness and power not to be
disregarded. Then may arise the car.
cun,stGnces' so wisely alluded to by the
president in his letter on the third term
proposition, when an imperative sense Of
duty will point to an acceptance of the
presidency for the third time. If the peo'
pie do not want General Grant for another
term they will not have him, no matter
what his personal aspirations may be. But
if it shall appear to be the popular judg
ment that his denominations and re election
will best subserve the public good, then he
can decide the question of acceptance
There is no sound and legitimate argument
that can be urged against the reelection Of
wise and just president for three or MORE
TERMS. Experience, allied to wise sense
of justice in administering public affairs
adds greatly to the usefulness of the presi
dent Of government which comprises
more than forty millions of people, Thu!
experience, held in such relation, is o.
inestimable value to the national welfare
and presents a strong reason for continuing
IN place one who has shown himself to bt
honest and capable beyond a question"
